The problem started with a defective cvt type transmission. Complained to american Honda and they agreed to replace the transmission if I paid $504 in labor costs. One year later the transmission died again, I now believe they only flushed out the old transmission I doubt they replaced the transmission. I complained again and had it replaced. Now the problem is the check engine light. It cost $80 just for them check the computer which has been done twice. I was told that the car's computer was malfunctioning and that there was nothing seriously was wrong with the car. Had the computer replaced after splitting the cost with american Honda so it cost me $396. Two weeks later the check engine light is back on, I went to advanced auto parts and had the computer codes read for free they said it was a malfunctioning O2 sensor, now the dealership wants another $260 each sensor plus labor to change both sensors.

- the manifold of a 1999 Honda Civic was cracked, and there was no warranty on the vehicle. The failure was similar to the one in the model years: 1996 to 1998. The manifold's crackwas near the oxygen sensor. The contact called Honda corporation ,who stated that the warranty expired and they would not speak with her. She should call America Honda customer relations. She was informed that the warranty and the problems that she was having was VIN specific and the recall did not apply to this vehicle. This failure started in 2005, and she replaced the cracked manifold. Now, the catalytic converter malfunctioned.

On Monday morning, August 29th, I started my 2000 Honda Civic cx hatchback and the check engine light came on. This is the first time it had ever happened; the car has 82,000 miles on it. I called cush Honda escondido and brought it in for service the same day. They later called me to tell me that their computer showed that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced and the manifold on the catalytic converter was cracked and the entire unit needed to be replaced. The total cost was $1026. I consider needing a catalytic converter replaced at 82,000 miles to be unacceptable. I am aware of other Honda owners who have had the same thing happen. I like having this item wear out to having a transmission or some other major component wear out. It has also been brought to my attention that the catalytic converter has an 80,000 warranty. How convenient!.

Took car in for valve adjustment (unusual to be needed until very high mileage), service tech found that exhaust manifold had a crack. Honda does not patch and the entire part to be replaced is over $800. 00. Parts person proceeded to tell me that this is very common in my model of car due to the design causing manifold to overheat and crack. If the problem is very common then it is a flaw in the vehicle yet there is no bulletin or recall. Not all models have this particular type of manifold and they stopped putting them in Hondas all together beginning 2005.

Request for reimbursement for defective part replacement on 2000 Honda Civic. (nar).

My check engine light has been coming on periodically for a few months. I was informed when I took it to Honda that my catalytic converter needed to be replaced. I wanted to check on a second opinion just to be safe. When doing so I have been to 3 different independent automotive repair shops that specialize in Honda's. Each states that there have been a number of requests for catalytic converters over the past 8-9 months for my same model. I found that to be very disturbing. I would strongly suggest that this be looked further into.

Consumer states that the alternator light illuminated. Dealer stated motor needs replacing. Mr radiator leaked out coolant and engine locked up due to short block and head failure. Thermostat failed and was replaced. Check the engine light came on and dealer replaced converter as a cause.

While driving in an intersection during rush hour traffic, the vehicle's engine check light came on, the vehicle started to idle near zero causing the vehicle to stall. Vehicle was taken to dealer and I was told it was the catalytic converter. Manufacture was notified and they stated it will take 3-6 months to repair because Honda manufacture has to develop a part in japan because the part is not available. Will notify the epa office.

Every time engine is turned off very loud clanging and banging noises come from under the vehicle on the front driver's side. Vehicle was taken to the dealership. Dealer stated that the noises came from the catalytic converter cooling down and contracting, which was a characteristic of the vehicle. Please provide any further information.
