Paint from car is peeling. At the beginning was small parts and I was told it is because of environment..... Now the entire car is peeling. I know there has been same issues with other honda cars, but my civic 2002 has no recall. I will need to pay to cover this expense. Money I cannot afford and it is not our fault.
2002 Honda Civic body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The sealant around the window no longer keeps the water out. I have since been able to fix this using tape, but during extremely heavy rain, my floor will be soaked.
The hood prop rod's locking mechanism became faulty. The hood prop rod would no longer stay in place. While accelerating, decelerating, or making turns, the hood prop rod would come into contact with the battery. This would cause huge sparks, and sometimes, would cause my car to stall if I accelerated or decelerated too fast. There was one fender bender as a result of this at a traffic light, but there was no damage. Also, when I would do heavy deceleration, my car's braking power was significantly decreased. Fortunately, I never crashed into anyone as a result (but had to drive into the shoulder to avoid an accident) the solution to this was a very simple quick fix after my mechanic identified the problem - just keep the hood rod in the trunk. However, the locking mechanism should not fail after 8 years.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda civic. The contact stated that the door locks failed and locked on their own while the contact's child was in the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and they stated that they could not change the lock design. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 142,000.
2002 honda civic ex 4 door the indoor door handles are peeling very sharp metal that cuts your hand when you try to open the door. I have cut my hand several times. Once almost needing stitches. Honda informed me that there were recalls for other models for this problem, but not this year/make/model. This is surely a safety defect, though not life threatening.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda civic. The contact stated that her vehicle has leaking struts and the lower control arm needs to be replaced. She heard an unfamiliar noise coming from the trunk of the vehicle. The current mileage was 49,142 and failure mileage was 8,062. Updated 05/08/08.
Water leaks into the trunk when driving in wet conditions. Car has been to dealership twice for repair yet it still leaks. It seems to leak in from the passenger side rear wheel well. The "particle board" and cloth that covers the spare tire area was damaged, has rust, and a musty smell remains in the car. The car is a honda "certified used vehicle", yet a leaky trunk is not covered and dealership had to cover cost. Will take back for a third repair.
The consumer stated the trunk spring was too weak. As a result, the trunk fell down onto the consumer's head. The consumer sustained a deep gash on the top of head. *ak the problem remained the same.
Paint on brand new honda civic ex is bubbling up from underneath, chipping and falling off. Honda has denied responsibility for damage claiming it was vandalism. A auto body shop and gieco insurance have both deemed the damage factory defect.
When driving vehicle consumer states' that the sun that comes through sunroof is distracting to drivers view. Took to honda and honda says all honda sunroofs are made this way. Please provide any further information. Ts
