Two problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 1996 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On April 20, 2007, I wrecked my Civic on the freeway when the car in front of me suddenly hit their brakes, and when I applied my brakes which did not work properly causing my car fishtailed and run into the cement freeway divider. My car was a total loss, and I had to buy another car.
Engine failed due to faulty key mount on crankshaft, and 2 belts came off pulley, vehicle loss control resulting in an accident. Also, replaced windshield wiper/washer, exhaust system, throttle cable, emissions, axles, brakes, cv boots, and floor mat. 8jb.
