My 2001 honda civic ex SRS light came up last week. This car had lot of issues since I bought in 2000 december 1. Radio replaced 1 month after purchase. 2. Right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500. 3. Side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor. 4. Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work. 5. Replaced front struts in 2006 6. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up and stays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired. Overall I think 2001 civic is a piece of junk.
