5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2013

Passenger side window was stuck in the open position. Mechanic (aaa-listed) diagnosed master window switch, installed new oem master window switch. This week, sept. 2014, less than a year after the repair, the same window is stuck in the closed position. I am reporting b/c 5 hours researching this issue online indicates the problem to be pervasive, ongoing and difficult to diagnose. Repairs can be very expensive, causing some owners to just leave the window closed. I can find no recalls from Honda. Obviously, an open window is dangerous b/c anyone can access the car or the driver. A closed window is dangerous if escape is necessary. I feel Honda should issue a recall and repair the problem. Thank you.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2012

During the day the inside of my car had a burning plastic smell. Later that night, my headlight low beams would not work. I had to drive home with the passing beams wedged on. Today I took the headlight/turn signal switch off of the steering column. The assembly had started to melt and the harness connector that was attached to it is singed! apparently I am not the first to have this problem in a Honda vehicle. Please let me know what can be done.

10 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2003

The problems I recently faced with my 2000 Honda Civic vp model:1. Transmission spontaneously skip gears and causes my car to jerk and loose control for a period of time. 2. When the car downshifts/slows down the transmission also skips or do not downshift smoothly, thus causing the car to jerk. Causes minor strains to the passenger's and the driver's neck. 3. Whenever I or my family get out of the vehicle we get static shock. This is extremely dangerous for a family who have a baby or children. 4. Car dies when I put the car in neutral and I loose power steering and other primary car functions. This uncertain event can cause potential fatality or serious car accidents.
