My 2004 Civic has an identical engine crack with a 1hg VIN, and only 130k miles. The location of the crack is identical to the TSB and is not a result of the vehicle's maintenance and driver habits. I have found several cases where Honda goodwill assistance covered costs of repairs on vehicles past warranty.

The hood rod contacted the battery terminal and appears to have started a fire during highway driving.

This is the second 04 Honda Civic I've owned. The first one was a hybrid and the transmission blew while driving on the highway. The Civic I own now only has 85k and was previously owned by an old lady since it was new. But low and behold the transmission blew while driving again. How many people need to get injured or killed in order for this to be recalled?????.

I was stopped at a light with my r foot on the break. Suddenly the car went into an uncontrolled acceleration. I could hear the engine revving. In a few seconds, it hit the car directly in front of me and stopped upon impact but if that car hadn't been there I would have been propelled into a busy intersection with crossways traffic. It was like a nightmare. This was at a very busy city street intersection at a busy time of day (3 pm), on the access rd to a major interstate hwy in a large metro area. The other driver and valet guys from a hotel across the street witnessed I was extremely shaken up but alert and in my right mind, etc.

The vehicle is growling and rumbling in low gears, shifting from first to second. I took the car in and they want to rebuild transmission. I find at 77000 miles the vehicle transmission should not be failing. Researching has amounted to numerous vehicles that have the same problem. One mechanic has personally seen 4 vehicles in past few months with the same problem. I believe the manufacture should take responsibility for this matter!.

Input shaft bearing failure . . . Thought it was originally the clutch, release bearing and fork paid and replaced and problem still persisted. . . This is a common problem with this model and year and is a constant progression of noise and inhibits acceleration and smooth driving . . . I feel as if the car is ready to completely fail and I've driven manual transmissions all my life so user error is not the cause. . . I've always stood by Honda and there products all my life and hope there customer service and loyalty is still of highest value and the right actions on their part are done to rectify this recurring issue in there product. I drive over 100 miles a day and hope one day I am not stranded or worse in an accident due to my car suddenly halting due to misaligned gears on the freeway. . .

My wife was driving my Honda Civic lx, 2004 . We have been using this car since last 6 year without any problem. On Nov. 1st we were driving this car to go to work; car was running perfect smooth with no indication of any problem. During evening hours when she was driving back to home after work. Car started fine as usual but she drove about 5 miles and as soon as she reached on the walt whitman bridge (NJ) smoke started to come out from the engine compartment, she pulled over car in the shoulder lane and got out of the car. She called the police for help, as soon as police officer arrived on the scene, car busted in the flames. Police called the fire department for help and soon whole car engulfed in flames and started to burn with high flames. By the time fire truck showed up whole car was destroyed by the fire. It was very unusual that the running car with no problem for 6 years and fine running car all of sudden caught in fire. It seems to me that there is some faulty electrical problem and may be due to manufacture defect. I am very fortunate that there was no injury or death in this incidence. However my car was completely burn down and destroyed. I will appreciate if you can help me with this. Did anyone before reported this kind of problem in this model of car which may suggest manufacture defect?.
