A/c doesn't get cold, can't get honda to fix as been this way since new. Brakes went bad with about 15000 miles on them. Were bad before that, still does not stop right, and has a vibraton when stopping transmission has a thumping like noise some times while idling. Had to replace strut on passanager side, couldn't get honda to pay for all of it. I think one on driver side is bad also. Service manager told me this was a problem with the honda civic
2001 Honda Civic visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Windshield: each time a stone hits the windshield, the windshield chips/cracks. This has happened 6 times in 2 years. I accept one or two times but six?*jb body of the car: the body dents frequently. This occurs if a stone or another car door hits the car. I have never had a car that the body is damaged so easily.
Rear windshield blew out completely while my car (honda civic 2001) was parked in my driveway. Absolutely nothing hit the windshield/car. There were no prior dings, cracks, holes, or damage. The temperature was about 70 degrees.
The air bag light illuminated on the dash board, the dealer replaced the part, however the light illuminated again. *jb the occupancy position detector system was replaced, the rear defroster and cruise control was inoperative, there was a loud clunk noise while driving and on turns, the radio was inoperative, the back window was replaced along with the antenna, the fog light switch was loose, the brake light had gone out, there was a rattle in the rear seat, the fuel cap was loose, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and the trunk lid did not close. Scc
The consumer states that the defrost is in the air conditioner mode. The air that comes out of the vents is cold and does not defrost the window. Consumer vision is obstructed, may cause an accident. Ts consumer added the defroster air is warm, but could be more efficient if air conditioner could be shut off when defrost mode is on.
Wind noise can be heard inside the vehicle, the dealer resealed the windshield molding, noise while braking, faulty ECM fuse caused the vehicle to stall while stopped, rattle in dash, dealer replaced the felt tape between the air ducts and vents, cd player skips and was replaced, faulty front spring caused noise in the front end, both left doors leak, the drivers seat is loose at the track, a ripped seal caused the sunroof to leak, steering wheel not centered.

After two months from purchase, consumer noticed a very loud humming noise coming from top portion of windshield at 60-80 MPH. Dealer resealed, replaced molding and performed service bulletin relating to windshield noise. However problem still exists. Vehicle has been to dealer 4 times for windshield noise.
No heat out of the floor section. Been to dealer twice. Both times told car is functioning normally. Second time I brought in a pyrometer to measure temps. Dash/defroster temp over 120f, floor temmp in the 40's. Dealer says it is similar on other civic's. We tested another on lot and it had similar problem. Honda says since it is happening on other civics then my car doesn't have a problem. But on a zero degree morning having to choose between being warm or having a clear windshield is a problem. The design of the ventilation system has two defroster options. All air to the defroster or 50/50 defroster/floor. Neither option warms up the passenger compartment with the 50/50 option sending air that is about 20 degrees above the outside air temp into the car.
While driving truck opened, almost causing driver to have an accident, they were unabe to see out the rear view mirror.
All windows clear with defroster operation with the exception of the drivers front window, dealer adjusted side vents.
Consumer touched brakes to slow vehicle down, but vehicle swerved, and consumer hit another vehicle. *ak consumer stateed brakes squeaks and parking brake needs adjustment, transmission is making noise, no power on acceleration, upper windshield molding failed and reinstalled, noise is coming from right front wheel, gas gauge will fluctuate at times and front engine mount broke.
Front windshield had to be replaced on three occasions within seven months due to a rock chip. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
While traveling approximately 25 to 30 MPH and making a turn, engine stalled and caused steering column to lock up. This problem did not result in a crash or injuries. Dealership examined vehicle for engine stalling, but has failed to remedy the problem. *ak while driving, consumer heard a metal to metal sound coming from right wheel well. Consumer was told computer was not set properly according to the VIN code, this was a service bulletin, dealer stated this could be why stalling was occurring, 4 fuses blew and now dealer replaced fuse box, dealer thinks this may be a reason why the vehicle stalled also, dealer also states that he does not know why the fuses blew to begin with, the blown fuse caused moonroof to be inoperable. Vents loose. Trunk release inoperable. Springs squeak and were replaced. Defective weld in the passenger side door rusted. Vehicle experiences rough idle. Driver side tweeter cracking. Driver side mud flap loose. Passenger kick panel uneven. Fuel gauge erratic.
The factory rearview mirror's height from the floor/ceiling cannot be adjusted, and since I am six feet tall, the mirror's position blocks a large fraction of my forward vision. The mirror can completely hide a car traveling or merging in a lane to the forward right of my vehicle. Also, I have to scrunch down to look under the mirror in order to make a safe right-hand turn. I will be replacing the mirror with one that has two pivot-points so that its height can be adjusted, and I wish the government would encourage honda and all manufacturers to use mirrors that can be repositioned so as not to block the vision of taller drivers.
Passenger's side door power window fails to work properly. Will not go either up or down when button is pushed.
Since date of purchase consumer has been unable to see clearly through the bottom of windshield. Dealer has been contacted, but stated that was normal on that model of vehicle.
When turning air conditioning water would drip from under glove compartment and soak mats and rugs. Also, airbag light comes on and off while driving. Took to dealer, and they said heating core needed replacing.*ak
