Wiper problems of the 2002 Honda Civic

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.

Engine runs slow and accelarating makes it slower windshield broke by itself when doing carwash.

Head light low beams (on both sides) do not turn on. Only high beam working. All lamps are new. 2002 Honda Civic ex 2 door coupe. Totally not drive able at evening and night time.

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle headlight low beam failed. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was not illuminating properperly with the low beam; the contact had to switch to the high beam. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic whom inspected the vehicle. The failure was located at the head light switch internal wires. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 130,000. Pmb.

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.

The sun visor on Honda Civic 2002 seems to snap suddenly when it is adjusted. This happened to me while I was trying to adjust the visor to block the sun while I was driving. When the visor snapped, it blocked my view completely and I had to pull over to push the visor back into its slot. When I researched this problem over the internet, I found out that it is a common problem on a Honda Civic. This issue could have ended up in an accident in my case.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact was driving 45 mph when the windshield wipers failed. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the mechanic advised the contact that the motor for the wipers needed to replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 75,000.
