general problems of the 2002 Honda Civic

Srs light on for a while in Honda Civic, contacted dealer as this car was messed with by another dealership last year during light swsitch recall, so wanted only other dealership to diagnose the issue with srs but diagnosis alone is $157 and since my auto mechanic cannot read the diagnosis Honda has put or installed this restricted setting on the car. Seat belts and seat bekt sensors may be bad and seat belt cant stick on driver;s side, indicating a safety issue, transmission exhibiting trouble and revs up when shifting, hard to shift gears with automatic gear shift problems. This should not be happening and brand new engine had to be competely installed with new engine blocks, and new radiator and watter pump need due to failing.

Progressive failing of the multiplex control unit, part # 38200-s5p-a11, for my 2002 Honda Civic hx 5sp has resulted in various problems that can prove to be very dangerous such as failure of turn signals, tail lights, windshield wiper motor, dashboard lights, dome light, power door locks, etc. Exactly when these failures occurred are hard to pin point but so far I have avoided property and bodily harm but not great inconvenience and repair cost. Please act to prevent this problem from causing harm or loss of life.

My 2002 Honda Civic is having an electrical problem to where my bran new just bought battery is draining withing 10 minutes of driving and all of a sudden my car just turns off while driving in traffic and cause it to where it is hard to stear and even to where I cant get out of the middle of dead traffic. The whole car just shuts off and won't let me start it again. This has now happend to me on the freeway and on a 55mph street as well.

My car shouldn't car with an unprogrammed key. Meaning the chop is not programmed and it starts anyway. Without an properly coded key it shouldn't start period. But yet I can't use a dummy key which also defects the purpose. Meaning anyone can take my key. Take it to the dealership and make a cut and that's how cars get stolen. I still have the car. Also got to start it in the on position in the ignition in order to start it. If you don't and it's still warm. It'll keep cranking for a while than fire right up. It takes longer to crank when it's warm and when you turning it from zero to three and it'll crank longer but it won't if I start it in the on position.

Tl takata recall. The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated the vehicle serviced at local dealer autonation Honda 104 located at 2999 w 104th Ave, westminster, CO 80234, (303) 578-6112 for unknown air bag recall and since then the air bags warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19v501000 and 19v182000 (air bags) and was being service for repairs at dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired at of yet. The manufacturer had not been made aware of the issue. The part was not available for the repair. Parts distribution disconnect. Dp.

Srs light stays on car dash. Air bags in vehical will not deploy if involved in car accident. Dealers said it is srs code #15-3 opds control unit a. Electrical problem underneth passanger seat that sets off srs light is what I was told. This is very expensive safety part to repair.

Transmission - car died on the highway. Had it towed to the mechanic. Service code that appeared was p0730, and I need a new transmission. Car has 140k on it, is a 2002 Honda Civic, I'm the only owner, and I have serviced this car completely by the book. I just spent $1200 for the timing belt and water pump last month as a preventive measure, $150 on the battery in Jan 2017, tires <7k miles ago, brakes last Nov, and now a $5000 estimate given to me by the dealership in order for them to replace the transmission.

Driving home from long way in. Lake county illinios. Shift in gear and jump out of gear while driving and power n steering and engine shut down could of been an bad accident then car stuck in one gear and completely won't move. At all especially in winter.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. When the vehicle was taken to be inspected, it was diagnosed that an electrical failure occurred with the seat belt that caused the srs warning indicator to illuminate. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. No further assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

When given my VIN, the Honda recall site gives back the wrong model of car. My car is a Civic and it is hard for me to believe that all the 2002s except mine need the takata recall.

While driving the low beam exterior headlights go dark leaving the high beams operable. I contacted Honda about this issue and am being told that it was fixed back in 2004 and in the same breath also I am being told that it does not apply to my vehicle. Then I was told I have to pay to have a diagnoses done when there is a recall notice for this issue. This has happened quite a few times over the last few months or so but as it is the high beams were operable and I didn't bother too much until now. I was going for an inspection and as the vehicle is being tested for inspection the low beams would go on and off and not stay lit as designed failing inspection. After this is when I contacted Honda knowing there was some sort of recall on this problem. So now what do I do?.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled and unknown warning lights flickered. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the relay switch needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that a burning odor was present inside the vehicle. The contact exited the vehicle and returned to discover flames and smoke coming from the cruise control switch. The contact was able to extinguish the fire. There were no injuries. The fire caused damage to the driver's side of the dashboard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact notified the manufacturer of the defect. The failure mileage was 165,000.

My car was recalled by the Honda due to the front airbag inflator in this year. The Honda dealer helped us to replace it at August. But the warning light ¿srs� still be on after fixation. So I believe that the problem is not fixed.

I was driving today and suddenly the srs light came on. The radio shut off for a few seconds while the light came on. When the srs light shut off, the radio went back to working properly. A few minutes later, the srs light came on again when I was at a red light and the vehicle stalled. I brought the vehicle to my mechanic who ran a diagnostic test. He stated that the problem I had experienced did not register; thus, he couldn't find an underlying cause. After researching this topic further on google. Com, I discovered that many other people have had similar problems with the same make and model.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign id number 12v136000 (exterior lighting: headlights: switch) and since then have lost functionality of the gear shift indicator. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileage was unknown.

In June 2012 I experienced on my 2002 Honda Civic an odd behavior, ac stopped working (light would be on but no cold air), power locks also failed, door chime/key left in ignition switchreminder stopped working at the same time, remote entry via key fob was somehow disabled and the most important and somehow teerifying experience is that the windshield washer and wipers do not work properly, I was splashed some muddy water on the windshield and activated the windshield washer/wiper to clear the muddy water; the wipers failed and my vision was completely blurred so I had to look out the drivers window and safely stop. I'm aware of two recall notices for my vehicle model year, one of them involving the low beam lights (I experienced that as well and thought both bulbs, low beams had gone out at the same time) this particular recall is for the defective and/or low quality of the electrical contacts/circuitry of the headlight switch. For a couple of weeks the electrical issue was gone but came back and has stayed, same electrical issues that I think might have something to do with low quality materials (as the ones used on the headlight switch recall notice) at the fuse panel inside the cabin; I'm no expert but my family's safety and the safety of the people on the road is my concern, what if the materials used on this unit (fuse panel/multiplex connector?) overheat and start a fire in the cabin or what I've experienced, a sudden splash on the windshield that prompts a quick response to stop due to null vision? I've searched online and seems the culprit of the electrical issues all at once is a poorly designed/constructed fuse panel. I should feel safe when driving not "taking a risk" hoping nothing bad happens.

Low beam headlights failed to work when driver switched from high to low beam. American Honda motor company and local dealer contacted. I was informed that this individual vehicle was not a part of NHTSA campaign 04v086000. I would like to register my complaint as I find it ironic that the same problem would occur on vehicles not included in the original recall.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the brake warning light illuminated. After the failure occurred, the driver’s side door was unable to be opened manually or using the electronic key fob. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that the multiplex for the fuse box assembly needed to be replaced. The failure and the current mileage was 67,500.

Both low beams failed at the same time. High beams unaffected. Inspected combination switch and connector, switch is failing and low beam wire and connector is discolored indicating overheating. It is obvious that NHTSA recall 04v086000 / Honda service bulletin 04-015 applies to this vehicle even though the Honda service bulletin and dealer claims it is out of range. . . Updated 02/06/bf .

The driver side window does not go up as fast as it used to. When it gets close to the top, it goes very slow. I suspect that this may be the modulator. At this current rate, my driver side window probably won't be operational by the end of this year.

This car was purchased by me brand new in September 2002 and has been maintained following manufacturers recommended schedule at Honda and at 134,000+ miles, the transmission is shot due to a bad torque converter. I want this corrected by Honda especially because I was victim to a hit and run at a red light and fixed the car out of pocket for over 5,000 and would have like to know by Honda that there was an issue with this car so I could have bought a new car rather than fix it. It is so dangerous for me as an only parent to have my transmission fail while making a left turn with oncoming traffic or while driving over train tracks!!!! this is scary to me and I want resolution for their failure to admit the torque converter lemon in my car caused the failure!!!!.

Low beam terminal on head light wire harness overheated causing smoke in the interior of the vehicle. Low beams lights not functioning which may cause an accident.

I am having the same issue related to Honda recall bulletin[04-015]. My headlight switch and harness is overheating and smoking. This can result in a loss of headlights and fire in the cockpit. Honda says my vehicle was not part of the recall. However, I am experiencing the same issues as on recalled vehicles. Dealers will inspect the head light switch and coupler for signs of heat damage. If heat damage is present, the dealer will replace the switch and coupler. If no heat damage is present, the dealer will replace the head light switch and one mating pin in the coupler. My issue is that the dealer and Honda motors America state my vehicle was not under recall and will not replace the part under the recall. However the part and issue are the exact same attached to the recall.

The srs (secondary restraint system) light came on. It originally happened while the was under warranty with the previous owner. Under 36,000 miles. The Honda dealer where the car was serviced reset the light, replaced the seatbelt buckle but were unable to determine the cause of the srs light coming back on. Multiple times. I believe this means the airbags are not working. Honda accepts no responsibility for this defect. And claim that since it occurred under warranty under the former owners of the car they are not responsible for fixing it.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the abs light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle suddenly stalled and shivered before shutting off. The contact had to wait a couple of minutes before the vehicle would restart. The failure occurred intermittently. The dealer stated that a diagnostic would cost $100. The manufacturer stated that the cause of the failure may have been due to the internal capacitors, but offered no assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 75,000.

I was driving from san diego to my house in riverside in rush hour traffic and with no warning all power shut down. There was nothing except other cars going at least 70 on the 15 freeway. Luckily I was in the lane next to the slow lane and made it to the shoulder without incident. My mechanic did process of elimination and he said it was the ecu. We towed it to the shop where repairs were going to be made and the shop said maybe before you put that much money into it I'll have my auto electrical mechanic look at it first. So come to find out the main wire that leads off of the engine block snapped right off. May car had to be re-wired! talk about a pretty penny. $900 bucks.

The srs light came on recently and did not go off. The diagnosis by Honda costs $90 if the problem is not cover by the extended warranty, which deters people to take the risk to check the problem. Honda should cover the whole diagnosis cost because it is related to safety issue.

Whenever the contact drives the vehicle she noticed that the interior lights and air conditioner had stopped working, also the contact noticed that all of the electrical features in the vehicle had began to malfunction. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealership and the contact noticed beforehand that the door locks rear defroster had stop working. The current mileage is 131000, failure mileage was at 100000. Bml.
