Body problems of the 2003 Honda Civic

Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Honda Civic. The contact stated that each time the vehicle was taken to buckeye Honda, 2615 n memorial dr, lancaster, OH 43130, the radiator leking, oil leak, horn, fog light switch, cruse control, and the steering column cover was cut. In addition, the contact stated that the two front doors would not open with the key, that it would open the trunk only. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer for the ignision switch and the dealer replaced two keys however, the keys failed to open the two front doors. The contact mention the keys would open the trunk only. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage approximately 190,000. Aw.

While my vehicle being stationary, I can't lock or unlock both passenger and driver doors from the outside using my key. It happens every 2 years.

Takata recall previous complaint in Feb. 2018, and no action taken, complaint # 11079970, air bag recall, resulting in no action taken from Honda, head-on accident occurred, and air-bags should've deployed, but didn't. Injuries incurred. Honda has refused any partaking on matter. I was at a complete stop, in the turning lane, car appeared out of nowhere, and I hit her head-on to the drivers side front bumper, light, tire. This was a no-fault accident on the police report.

Clear coat failure. Noticeable clear coat failure started about 5 years ago. I contacted Honda and they refused to do anything about it. They claim it is only an issue on 2005 and later Civics, which obviously isn't true. Clear coat failure on roof, trunk, and above the doors.

I noticed a few weeks ago that the hood had started to bounce somewhat while car was in operation, upon investigating I found the support that the hood latch assembly is attached ( bulkhead / cross member) had a hairline crack appearing. Within a matter of a few weeks the entire latch assembly had broken loose. Once this happens even the secondary latch is useless, at this point the only thing keeping the hood from flying open during the course of driving which involves air turbulence is a very thin gauge steel cable connected to the inside hood release latch which isn't meant to restrain hood from flying open. I've also found one documented case of a hood flying open while car is traveling down interstate in ohio, this was a 2004 Honda Civic and the traffic crash report number is 10-119-89. I've contacted american Honda corporation and expressed my concerns regarding this safety issue on January 19, 2016 . So far I've only received a case file number (04405315) and a lot of run around. I've been told in different conversation my car is 13 years old and out of warranty. I know that. The car was also out of warranty when both airbags produced by takata corporation had to be replaced. I feel this hood latch problem is just as dangerous if not more so, if ones hood comes unlatched going down a highway or worse a interstate this could very easily result in a major pile up putting numerous individuals at risk for loss of life and property damage. I've taken the car to a local Honda dealership, bryan Honda located here in fayetteville, nc. A service advisor and fixed operations director by the name of todd kuther has inspected the car, took photos and forwarded to american Honda using the case file# (04405315).

I rear ended a vehicle that came to a sudden complete stop, I was going approximately 30 mph, (the roadway was 45 but I had started to slow as I slammed on my brakes). The collision was full frontal impact and my airbags did not deploy. I hit my head on the steering wheel despite having a seat belt on. I am having a mechanic investigate why my airbags did not deploy, but it concerns me as I was injured in the crash. I went to the emergency room and I have whip lash, muscle spasms and muscle tension in my neck and back. I feel that these injuries could have been avoided if the air bags had deployed. My lawyer advised me to file a complaint here as well as with Honda about this incident.

I was driving south bound on the 215 shortly before the exit, mills, there was a cone laying on its side in the middle of the road that I was not able to see from a distance because the color of the cone was facing forward . By the time I was able to realize what it was, I could not avoid it and go to another lane because I was in the middle of two cars, which probably would have caused much more damage then there is if I attempted to do so. As a result the cone cracked my front bumper on the right hand side in the shape of a v, there was a little steam comming from my engine and there seems to be some kind of leak now, as well as some black rubber type thing that looks like its supposed to be over the tire was dragging.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Civic. The contact stated that she was unable to open the front driver's side door from the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 126,000.

On the bottom side of the hood, there are three rusted bolts. Directly above one of the rusted bolts, the hood is rusting. . . As this rusted area is in very close proximity to the windshield washing nozzle mechanism which delivers the windshield washing liquid to the windshield, at some future date, there will be a catastrophic failure. Please review and implement an action recall plan to address this potential safety issue. Thanks in advance.

The clear sealant on the paint suddenly started to erode. Now large sections of the roof, hood, and rear trunk area look like the car has some kind of skin disease. It's an unsightly mess that has lowered the car's value and makes it look like a junk heap instead of the well-maintained and running car that it actually is. I would like Honda to pay to fix it like they do for any other issue that they are negligent about.

The door will not lock using the key. The key either gets jammed in the door or wont go in. When it does go in, it wont come back out. Frustrated because I cant lock/unlock my car without a break-in kit.

This car was totaled in a crash many, many years ago ! I have filled out and mailed in two recall notices to this affect and I am still getting recall notices for this car. For the third time, this car is long gone, update your records and do not sent another notice.

Carpet under passenger side mat becomes completely sodden during and after every rain. Having blower only operate on "recirculate" as a Honda bulletin suggested does not help the problem. (also, in winter, operating during wet cold weather on recirculate does not allow windshield to properly DE-fog. ) door seals appear to be in good shape, with no apparent wear, and are in proper position. Because mat is not wet, appears that water is getting in car structure from below, not from door, for example. I fear this will cause floor of car to rust and rot, and carpet is becoming stained by mold growing under the mat. Difficult to keep this dry when one lives in a rainy climate. Think this has been happening for quite a while, but I was unaware because the mat on top was dry. R.

I drive a 2003 Honda Civic ex. I got off work at 5:30 p. M. And got on the interstate and had the incident about 5:55. On 4 lanes of traffic, I was in the 3rd from the right. This is rush hour in indianapolis. No warning at all, the hood on my Honda flew up and smashed my windshield to pieces and put a large dent in the top of the Honda where it meets the top of the windshield. The hood stayed up, completely taking away any vision in front. I immediately slammed on my breaks and thanfully didn't hit anyone in front of me. Thankfully nobody was tailgating me. I managed not to swerve the car and stay in my lane. I could see a vehicle on each side of me as I slamed on the brakes. I then proceeded to steer my way to the left, crossing 2 lanes and then getting my car over to the shoulder. I used my side mirrors for this. When I got my car over on the shoulder, my hood came down. Incredibly lucky to not hit anyone and not get hit. The insurance company called me on the 25th. Their claims adjuster said that the hood latch had a decent amount of wiggle room! this should not be. There should be no wiggle room on a hood release. I just turned 100,000 miles a week earlier. My hood hadn't been up for months. My last oil change was around valentines day. One of those fluke things I hope. I would hate for somebody else to have this happen to them. I am so lucky that there was no damage form another vehicle. Car seemed fine mechanically. I got on the shoulder and was pretty shaken up. But okay.
