I bought my 2004 civic lx 2 door, thinking that I would not have the problems of a used car I was certainly wrong. The first problem was that I never received a copy of or signed the pre delivery inspection check list. I had my car up to the dealership at just over 3,000 miles for its first alignment. Then, I had problems with the car not starting. Sometimes it would start and sometimes it wouldn't. It didn't depend on the temperature outside or the amount of gas in the car. Sometimes when it would start, it would crank out as if I was letting out the clutch too fast. But on many attempts to restart the vehicle it would crank, but would never turn over or fire. Had the car up to the dealership once again for the starting problem , but they said since there weren't any error codes, there was nothing that they could do the car seemed fine. My latest problem; at just over 9,000 miles, I just had my front left wheel bearing replaced.! Once again my alignment was done. Everything has been covered under warranty. But what is going to go wrong next??? I certainly wouldn't recommend a honda to anyone I know.
2004 Honda Civic suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a recurring popping noise coming from the front of the vehicle, which is causing the steering to feel loose. Took vehicle to dealer for check up and repair of the struts for the third time.
Problems with transmission and tie rod bolts were loose.*mr the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because there was a noise in the passenger front wheel and the gears were grinding when moving form second to third gear. The technician told the consumer that the vehicle's tires were bald therefore she was racing the car. He went on to say that he would not check the transmission unless she agreed to pay for it. The consumer appealed the decision of the dealer and contacted the manufacturer. The struts were loose on the right side. The tie rod bolts were loose which was probably the cause of the bald tires. The manufacturer refused to honor the warranty for the transmission although the vehicle was only six months old.
The front struts of my vehicle are leaking due to premature failure, which makes the vehicle difficult to control when a bump or slight ding in the road is traveled over. Will get the struts replaced, so that my vehicle doesn't fall apart, but it's going to be very .
From the day that consumer bought the vehicle there has been an annoying vibration in the steering wheel. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the vibration was normal.
