general problems of the 2004 Honda Civic

It is not safe to drive because of the slippage is really hard and it still kicks when braking and can cause the car to keep driving while harshly pressing the brake to stop.

Turned the car on this morning and the air bag light turned on and has not shut off seat belts work just fine and no accidents with the auto not sure of the air bags in the car at this time.

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

Takata recall the airbag light on dashboard came on a month ago; it never goes off. I had one airbag replaced per Honda dealer's advice a couple years ago. Should I take it in again??.

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.

Takata recall. I have recieved mutiple letters concerning my air bag recall have had the care up there and have been told it's fixed, and I still get letters that it hasn't been fixed. Also the passenger air bag light has stayed on multiple times and they said they fixed but yet when I would go no more than 2 miles down the road it would come back on also the dealership I took it to did a multi point inspection and said my parking break was fine but little did they know my parking break doesn't work so how did it operate fine if I know good and well it doesn't. Will never do business with Honda again.

My 04 Civic wiring almost set my car completely on fire. The whole electrical harnesses where melted the car without warning started blowing smoke out of the air vents, I pulled over and the car was thick with smoke. The wires under the hood and inside the car all the way to the trunk were all melted. I towed the car to the dealer and they had to replace all the eletrical and sensors in the whole car. It cost over $3100. To replace everything, the car somtimes wont start and the computer has to be reset to start also the air bag light is now on. , the dealer said every electrical component on the car might need to be replaced, computer etc. But it will cost about $4000+ dollars and its possible that the air bag will not deploy in an accident. , 2004 Honda Civics are unsafe to drive. , driving Honda Civics are dangerous and no one should buy them.

I wish NHTSA had the authority to order Honda to repair for free the left turn signal arm and control arm bushings on my Civic; the warranty expired before the problem developed on the left turn signal and Honda considers the control arm bushings as maintenance items not covered under warranty; they are hard rubber and wear out after a few years--I was never told this at the time I bought this car! I will try to send paperwork to NHTSA in support of my complaint against Honda. I was also stuck with a $1400 repair bill after the gas cap lock stuck and wouldnt open (again, after the warranty expired!), needing an emergency service because I could not gas up the car! again, NHTSA should fine Honda for each incident and order them to reimburse me in full for these uncalled-for repair bills! my maintenance and repair costs for this Civic are far more than the book value for this car,.

2004 Honda Civic. Consumer writes in regards to dealership customer service and lack of parts.

Was driving down the street, came to a stop light then the vehicle would not go. When I hit the gas all it did was rev up. I shut the car off and restarted it was able to start moving then the car would not shift into second gear. I had the car towed and was informed the transmission was gone.

The transmission dash light came on then the car jumped hard out of 2nd gear and into third. Then the car was jerking like someone was pumping the brakes hard so I tried shifting to 4th and the jerking got worse with a grinding noise causing the car to be extremely hard to control and keep on the road almost causing me to hit a telephone pole at about 40 mph it all just happened with out warning or any indication very unsafe and extremely frightening.

Had the local Honda dealership replace the takata product. Was targeted by sales to puchase other "needs" they found and recommended for repair. The airbag was replaced. Had to take an appointment and time from work.

My car accelerated while in parking lot and went inside a building. I was not hurt. My car was damaged and the building and another car I hit sustained a significant damage.

Passenger sliced finger open on chrome plating which appears to have began delamination. Chrome plating is on exit handle inside of the vehicle. Very similar to case 10526049.

I noticed metal bars sticking out of the headrests of my 2004 Honda Civic. These are the bars that give the headrest its structure, but there is supposed to be cushioning that protects the bar from coming in contact with the driver's or passengers' skull. Whatever cheap cushioning once existed has worn away and the bars are even visibly protruding from the headrests. I filed a complaint with Honda but no action was taken. I am terrified to think of the possible consequences that might befall a person who is unaware of the cheap lack of cushioning in their headrests. One can only imagine what would happen in a collision of accident, or any other occurrence in which a person's head would slam into metal bars instead of safe cushioning. Death and serious injury are certainly in the ballparks of this negligence.

I no longer own this vehicle please stop sending me info on this car it was totaled and no longer on the streets.

The driver's side front power window in my 2004 Honda Civic will not immediately close when I pull up on the toggle switch to close the window. I either pull the switch many times, over and over, until the window closes, or I have to leave the window open.

Driver side sear belt does not retract. It has been replaced before by the dealer. Front mud flaps are to low and are damages and need replacing. Electric plug socket does not work (lighter and cell phone).
