First the drivers side window would not roll up all the way and it seemed to off of it's track. The vehicle was not in an accident when this problem occured. I notified the dealership I bought it from and was charged almost three hundred dollars to get it fixed. Two months later the same thig happened to the passenger side door and I have had a car mechanic roll the window up for me but it is not fixed.I also know of another person who purchased a 1997 honda civic froma different dealership and his driver side window has done the same thing. I could not find a recall on this model for this problem.
