1995 Honda Civic Problems

MY SEAT-BELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS WEARING AWAY FROM IT ROTTING AWAY, I PUT SOME WOOD GLUE ON THE BELT TO STOP ANY DETERIORATION ON THE BAG. I CALLED THE PALM SPRINGS; CA HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX]. THANK YOU.

95 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN 4 DOOR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ALSO IS GETTING HARDER TO START. ALSO STALLS WHEN NOT MOVING ALSO. YOU CAN DRIVE 10 FEET OR A FEW MILES DEPENDING UPON THE OUTSIDE TEMP. AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD IT WILL STALL AND YOU HAVE TO WEIGHT APPROX. 5-30MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART. IF THE WEATHER IS HOT IT STALLS VERY QUICKLY AND TAKES APPROX. 3-4 HOURS TO RESTART. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL PUMP SCREEN, FUEL PUMP RELAY, FUEL INJECTOR RELAY, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR, IGNITER AND CONDENSER AND IT STILL STALLS. WE HAVE TAKES IT TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS TWICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. I SEEN THE RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THE 98 AND UP AND THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HONDA AS A RECALL FOR THE 95 CIVIC ALSO OR CAN I ANTICIPATE ONE IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JULY 2018 AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE.

I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING AND MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I ONLY HAD POWER TO MY RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS. I HAD TO SWITCH ON MY HAZARDS, PUT MY CAR IN PARK. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP- BUT HAD I OF BEEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND TO GO HOME AND IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN ON THE WAY BACK (LUCKILY I TOOK SIDE STREETS HOME) TURNED OUT TO BE THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THE SHOP IS TELLING ME THE WHOLE THING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE RIGHT HAD SIDE OF THE ROAD, FRONT WHEELS TURNED TOWARDS THE CURB. I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL OVER THE SIDEWALK AND UP INTO A FRONT YARD, SLOWING DOWN OVER A BONSAI TREE. I SHIFTED THE GEARS INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS, STILL OUT OF CONTROL (BRAKES DIDN'T WORK) UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A TREE ON THE SIDEWALK AND CAME TO A HALT. I HAD A PASSENGER AND 2 OTHER WITNESSES BUT HONDA SAY THEY CAN NOT "DUPLICATE" THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. DT

ON THE 5TH OF MARCH 2001, I DROVE MY CAR WITH TWO CHILDREN( 8 AND 10 YEARS OLD) ON THE FREEWAY 57. I NEEDED TO TAKE FREEWAY 91 EAST SO I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO 25 MPH ON THE FREEWAY 67 SOUTHBOUND. BUT I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN BECAUSE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTION. I BARELY STOPPED THE CAR BY USING SIDE BRAKE. MY FAMILY MIGHT BE KILLED IF I DID NOT USE SIDE BRAKE PROPERLY ON TIME. MY CAR WASI TOWED AWAY AND GOT FIXED AT WEIR CAYON HONDA DEALER. THERE WERE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS I NOTICED. FIRST, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT HAPPED. SECOND, MACHANIC SAID THAT BRAKE MATER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTERNALY AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I DO NOT WANT TO HAPPEN TO MY CAR AGAIN OR OTHER CAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME.*AK

I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL UP INTO A PARKING SPACE TO BACK INTO MY GARAGE WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A BRICK WALL AND A NEIGHBORING GARAGE. MY NECK SNAPPED FORWARD AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, I AM HAVING BACK AND NECK PAIN AFTER THIS INJURY. I AM GOING TO NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. *TR

FLOOR MAT DOESN'T STAY IN PLACE AND GETS CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCELERATOR, BRAKE AND CLUTCH PEDALS. ALSO, MY CIVIC IS BLUE (ORIGINAL PAINT) AND AS I'VE SEEN WITH MANY OTHER 1992-1995 HONDA CIVICS WITH THIS COLOR, THE PAINT IS LITERALLY GONE FROM THE HOOD AND ROOF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CHEAP MATERIAL WAS USED, BUT IT'S TERRIBLE! *TR

WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON, WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THIS CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION AND DAMAGED THE RADIO SHORTING OUT THE HEAD LAMPS AND OTHER PARTS TO THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SO MANY PARTS WITHIN A 5 YEAR PERIOD. CONSUMER WILL SEND INVOICES SHOWING THE COMPONENTS REPLACED. *AK

SOUGHT VEHICLE HISTORY TO SEE IF AIRBAG SWITCH INSTALLED - COULD NOT GET PREV. OWNERS CONTACT INFO, AND COULD NOT LOCATE ON/OFF SWITCH FOR AIRBAG. CHILDREN RIDE IN THE FRONT OF THIS CAR, AND WE FEEL A SWITCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED W/OUT COST. ALSO CONCERNED WITH TSB 96010 (1/96) - A/C COMPRESSOR, AND MOST RECENT ONE ABOUT A POSSIBLE SEAT-BELT PROBLEM. I WANT MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND PROBLEMS CORRECTED, AS NEEDED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE HOOD OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH, CRACKING THE WINDSHIELD AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TO A SERVICE DEALER. UPDATED 1/10/2007 - *NM

MALFUNCTION OF HOOD LATCH CAUSING SUDDEN "SLAMMING OPEN" OF HOOD AGAINST WINDSHIELD, LOSS OF VISION. *AK

I PURCHASED 4 NEW NANKANG EX-500 TIRES FOR MY 1995 HONDA CIVIC EX IN OCTOBER 2005. THEY SEEMED TO BE IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION UP UNTIL THE INCIDENT. NO BALDING OR WEARING WAS VISIBLE. ON 2-12-06 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX. 75 MPH, THE SIDEWALL ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE WITHOUT WARNING AND VERY ABRUPTLY, FORCING ME INTO THE LANE TO MY RIGHT AND NARROWLY MISSING A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE IN THAT LANE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO CHANGE THE TIRE FOR A SPARE. I OBVIOUSLY HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE, AND IN ADDITION, I WILL NEED TO ADJUST MY ALIGNMENT AS IT WAS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT. *NM

THIS IS A NOTICE I SENT FIRESTONE CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 9 OCT 2003 "IN APRIL 2002, I PURCHASED 4 BRIDGESTONE INSIGNIA TIRES FOR MY DAUGHTER'S CAR FROM THE RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE (AFB) SERVICE STATION IN UNIVERSAL CITY, TEXAS. DURING THE PAST 18 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 TIRES DUE TO DEFECTS. ONE TIRE FAILED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THE SECOND TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IS WAS "OUT OF ROUND". THE TIRE I JUST REPLACED HAD A BULGE ON THE OUTER SIDEWALL. IF MY DAUGHTER FAILED TO NOTICE THIS WHILE SHE WAS CHECKING THE TIRES, SHE COULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT! I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED YOUR TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A QUALITY PRODUCT. BASED UPON MY EXPERIENCE, THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY CONCERN, I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES (PRO-RATED COST), MOUNTING, BALANCING AND ROAD HAZARD. I WOULD THINK THAT AFTER THE DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRESTONE TIRE FAILURES, YOUR COMPANY WOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MANUFACTURING A SAFE AND QUALITY PRODUCT THAT CUSTOMERS CAN RELY ON. I GUESS THIS IS OF NO CONCERN TO YOU. BE ASSURED, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF YOU PRODUCTS, AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE MY FRIENDS AND THE ARMY, AIR FORCE EXCHANGE SERVICE (AAFES), WHO SOLD AND INSTALLED THE TIRES, ARE AWARE OF MY EXPERIENCE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT AAFES SELLS ALLOT OF TIRES. I WILL ALSO NOTIFY THE NTSB SO THEY HAVE A RECORD OF THIS COMPLAINT...."" *LA

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH WAS GETTING NEAR A TURN CONSUMER KEPT STEERING TO LEFT. THEN, TRIED TO STRAIGHT OUT STEERING WHEEL, BUT STEERING KEPT TO LEFT, CAUSINGVEHICLE TO KEEP TURN AND CRASHING INTO TREES. TOWING PERSON FIND OUT THAT STEERING ROD WAS RUSTED. *AK

THE RIGHT STEERING ARM WAS RUSTED AND BROKEN AT THE BASE, WHICH CAUSED INJURY AND DAM NEAR KILLED MY ENTIRE FAMILY. MY WIFE WAS FOUR MONTH PREGNANT. I AM REQUESTING $250,000.00 FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND INJURIES SUBSTAINED BY WIFE, INFANT DAUGHTER, AND UNBORN CHILD. THE HONDA CORP. DEFECTIVE VEHICLE CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT ON 08/18/00 AND HONDA REPLACED A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS EARLIER. THE VEHICLE WASN'T SAFE (LEMON) AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THERE IS A CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE AXLE ANDCV BOOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

I HAVE A 95 HONDA CIVIC VX I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE LOCAL DEALER HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS MY CAR WOULD STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND A COUPLE OF TIMES AROUND TOWN FOR NO REASON AT ALL, BUT WOULD COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. TODAY AS I WRITE THIS MESSAGE I AM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET ME AND MY HONDA CIVIC FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR FINALLY DIED OUT TODAY WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS ABOVE BUT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CAN GET THE CAR TO RUN IF I ONLY MANUALLY RELEASE THE IGNITION KEY A LITTLE BEFORE THE "ON" POSITION. IF I LET THE KEY GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO ON TO THE NORMAL "ON POSITION THE CAR WILL NOT START. I NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS DON'T COME ON EITHER WHEN IN THE "ON" POSITION, BUT IF I WIGGLE THE KEY MANUALLY BACK AND FORTH FROM THE "ON" POSITION THE DASH LIGHT WILL COME ON. I'M GOING TO THE HONDA DEALER TOMORROW TO GET THEM TO PAY FOR MY TOW AND THE SWITCH. WHILE ON LINE RESEARCHING PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS THIS "HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN" HTTP://WWW.VISUALIMPRESSIONS.CA/SWITCH/... THIS IS A VERY VERY SCARY THING HAVE YOUR CAR DIE ON YOU FOR NO REASON... HONDA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED EVERY HONDA DRIVER ABOUT THIS ISSUE !! JOHN *TR
