I was at a stop light and had the A/C running it was working fine and blowing cold. While accelerating the light I heard a loud metal noise and thump and the air conditioner started blowing hot. I took the car to a dealer and they informed me that part of the air conditioner fell off, the fan clutch????, I am not a mechanic but I have never had problems with the air conditioner an I know parts of a car should not fall off while driving down the road. The air conditioner has never been worked on and the car is serviced regular, the car only has 87,000 miles. I am being told it will be about 1,400.00 dollars to have this repaired.
2000 Honda Civic engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My engine needed more oil and the oil light did not come on in my car and the engine ended up getting burned out. The check engine light also did not come on.
While drving the vehicle, the engine just quits. It happened 3 times today. It is very dangerous.
Exhaust manifold is cracked for 2nd time; also have 2 other honda civics (99 and 97) with same problem - obvious manufacturers defect. Honda will not cover repairs.
I have never had an issue with my 2000 honda civic si because I had the recommended maintenance performed , oil changes every 3000-4000 miles and on may 17th, 2000 honda civic si with only 60,000 miles-blown head gasket...the car is at honda west pending-a goodwill concession from honda.
Exhaust manifold cracked leaking.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle vibrates while driving 30 MPH. The tires grip the pavement and the brake pedal appears to be elevated, creating difficulty when they are depressed. The rpms run high when idling and the vehicle begins decelerate while in motion. The contact pulled off the road and shut off the vehicle. The vehicle restarted, but the failure recurred soon after. The contact believes the failure may be caused by the fuel pump system or the accelerator may be stuck. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of failure. The VIN and engine size were unknown. The current mileage is 80,000 and failure mileage was 50,000.
Honda civic exhaust manifold; after owning a 2000 honda civic for two years, I have had to replace the entire exhaust, oxygen sensors and now the exhaust manifold. I became upset after this series of burdens on me, so, I decided to conduct research on-line. Thus, I found numerous reports and similar complaints from fellow honda civic owners. It appears civcis created between 1992-2000 have had deffective exhaust manifolds causing many consumers to have to fight to get a resolution through honda, the manufacturer. Honda is reviewing each vehicle on an individual basis, rather than admitting that their product, widespread, is deffective.
Smog check.
Exhaust manifold cracked for a 2nd time! Had replaced at 74,000 miles, now at 129,000. Dealer said the second was only covered under a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty.
Exhaust manifold crack leading to carbon monoxide being sucked through the ventilation system and inhaled by the occupants. This lead to headache and vomiting.
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!
Failure of 2 air conditioning systems in a 2000 honda civic, presently on a new 3rd system. Vehicle mileage is 35,000. Honda states that it is not responsible for the current failure.

In february 2004, I noticed a smell of exhaust fumes in the interior of the car. Brought it to a mechanic 3 times. He said he didn't smell it, and could find nothing wrong with the car. I recently brought the car in to a new mechanic for servicing, and he informed me that the "exhaust manifold is cracked." I've been suffering some unexplained health problems, such as headaches, light headiness, and fatigue, and now wonder if the symptoms are related to long term exposure to the exhaust fumes. The mechanic suggested I contact the honda dealer to request that they fix the problem at no cost. However, the dealer informed me that the part(s) is only covered up to 80,000 mi. My vehicle currently has 82,000 mi. On it. As it is an expensive repair, it has not yet been fixed.
After starting the vehicle consumer smelled gas fumes. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Manual transmission jumps while driving also does not want to go into second gear. Makes wierd grinding sound while driving slow. Car shutters and shakes violently while in 5th gear in excess of 70 MPH. Car shuts off by its self( was told VIN not in sequence for ignition recall). Right front springs sticks and some times makes a ( " boing" ) sound. Car keeps pulling to right even after alignment. When heater or defroster are on they make a loud chirping sound. On cold or rainy days steam will pour out of engine compartment smelling like radiator fluid. Was in 2 minor accidents one front end colision one rear end colission both about 30 MPH and air bags did not deploy. Engine is becoming rusty and coroded. Drivers power window is slow to go up and front seat belts will not retract. Engine light comes on and car loses power and gas mielage. Goes offf when gas tank is filled. Car has been to dealer numerous times for honda scheduled service and also while it was under warranty. All the problems adressed above were told to dealer who said they could not find a problem..but they sure did when my warranty expired. Now they will not fix anyhting unless I pay for it.
The check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the repair shop where it was determined that the oxygen sensor was inoperative and had to be replaced. Please provide any additional information. *nm
Request for reimbursement for defective part replacement on 2000 honda civic.*mr (nar)
I got into a car one afternoon and heard a rattling sound, I turned off the A/C to make sure it wasnt the engine. As soon as I turned it off, the sound stopped. I turned it back on and drove down the road and heard something fly out from underneath my car and suddenly the air was blowing hot out of the A/C. I took it to a shop to get it looked at and was told that it was the clutch from the A/C that had broken off and it now needs to be replaced. In replacing the clutch, I was also told that the compressor and drier also needed to be replaced which would cost me a total of $950.00. Before I had taken it in, I was told that if it was still blowing air than it wasn't the compressor, so why would it need to be replaced? Of course, honda wont stand behind it and pay for the A/C unit being fixed. I bought it brand new in 2000 and havent even had it 3 years yet.
Have head gasket leak, my mechanic says that this has to be a manufacturing defect because he can see nothing else that would cause this.
I dropped my car of 7/21/03 for engine repair and body work. The body shop said it would take 10 days. 7/28/03 my car was broken into while in their shop and I was not alarmed until 21/2 weeks after the "break in" incident by the detective on the case. In between the time before I knew about the break in, I've spoken to the owner inquiring about the time frame my car would be finished, the owner never mentioned of the incident. When I did find out of the incident and confronted store owner he stated that he thought I knew. I expressed my anger and mentioned the fact that my car was broken into and if he had advised me of the situation, I would have taking that in consideration of the time frame of prolonged service and understood more of the delay. The owner said the fact that my car being broken into had no reason of the delay. I had numerous unpleasant conversations with him, from where he's called me a "!@#$%," that I don't give him enough business to "harass him" about information on my car as much as I do. I've already gave him $1,500.00. When I finally had the time and transportation to go see my car, there were some parts of my car that was taking that needed to be repaired, for example my front bumper was totally ripped and needed to be replaced- that was stolen, my passenger rear view mirror was taking, that also needed to be replaced. My strut bar was taking but the person or persons who took it had the time to put the screws back on, whoever broke in my car also took my back spoiler, gauge cluster, speedometer, headrest, both of my door panels and door speakers, my console, and some other stuff. My car is three times worse then when I dropped it off. The owner stated that he does not have to replace these items if he doesn't want to. I still pay car notes my car, it I've mentioned this to the owner how important it is for me to have work done and right asap many times but he seems to not understand or care. My car has not been worked on.
"black death syndrome"--where the compressor starts seizing up and shredding the A/C cluth into metal shaving into the A/C system. A very known issue to honda technicians and can even get it fixed out of warranty out of goodwill. The A/C will just give out one day there and they will actually have to open up the compressor to see if this is the cause. Any year and model!
Honda civic 2000 model. Car only had 15600 miles when the problem started.une 25, 2003 - malfunction indicator light was on. Honda adjusted the valves.june 28, 2003 - malfunction indicator light was on. Honda replaced oxygen sensor.*ak july 3, 2003 - malfunction indicator light was on. Honda changed pressure regulator. July 21, 2003 - car stalled and engine died. Honda replaced fuel filter, fuel pump set, ignition coil, ignition control module. Aug 25, 2003 - car stalled, engine running but no acceleration (does not move), car makes clacking noise. Honda said they will change the fuel tank and fuel pump. Car is still at honda. My car has been to the dealers for the 5th time in less than 2 months. The down time is more than normal.
While driving, car will jerk violently, feels like several cylinders are not firing, then start back up again. After a few seconds of this kind of sputtering, the engine will throttle down and then die. While it is having the problem there is a drastic loss of acceleration. If the gas pedal is pushed nothing happens and it bogs down more. After the car has died it cannot be restarted for several minutes. This car has been to the dealership 11 times since I bought it, owning it a total of 16 months. Twice it had to be towed to the dealer, and once they were able to start it immediately after it was delivered. It has been in service for a total of 29 days. The first time I took it in, I had driven 4,000 miles and only owned the car less than 3 months. Problem is sporadic, many times when I have taken it in for service they have not found anything wrong with it, then it will die on me on the way home. The catalytic converter has been replaced 3 times, spark plugs twice, and oxygen sensor once, and it still has the same problem I took it in for the first time.
Vehicle's main motor seal is leaking oil, which can cause motor to blowout. Please provide more details. Ph...
5 speed - engine stalls while in fifth gear. Have to pull car over and restart. Car taken repeatedly to repair and no problems could be found. Finally looked up recalls on insurance company's web site and saw recall for engine switch. Took car to dealer to repair and egnition switch replaced. Stall happened again. Called honda customer service and was informed there were no recalls on cars in my VIN sequence. Said I would have to take car to dealer again for repair. No one can seem to tell me why the car keeps stalling. It only happens when I'm driving in 5th gear at 50+ speeds. Situation is scary because of the speeding traffic around me. Not sure what else I can do. Dt
At 50mph and with no warning transmission will automatically switch to lower gear. Cause unknown. Dealer notified.*ak the transmission would not disengage out of gear when the consumer stops pushing the gas pedal. The engine makes a knocking noise while warming.
