2000 Honda Civic Problems

I bought this car I believe 1 year ago and I didn’t know it had a recall

The contact owned a 2000 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, another vehicle ran a stop sign. The contact turned to the right to avoid a crash but ended up crashing into the rear corner of another vehicle. The vehicle also ended up striking the embankment on the side of the road. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the lower back and sought medical attention. The other vehicle was damaged. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the Insurance provider for assistance. A case was opened regarding the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

CAR IS SLUGGISH UP HILLS AND IS NOW STALLING AROUND TURNS WITH POWER STEERING GOING OFF. CAR IS A 5SPEED AND WHEN PUT ON GAS IT RESTARTS. MECHANIC REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND CRANK SENSOR BUT PROBLEM GOT WORSE. WONDERING IF IGNITION SWITCH COULD BE ISSUE AS I SEE IT WAS AN ISSUE ON OTHER CIVIC MODELS. MECHANIC BOTH AT HONDA AND OUR PERSONAL COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG AND PROBLEM KEEPS COMING UP DESPITE SUPPOSED FIXING. WE'VE SPENT OVER $1,000 ALREADY TRYING TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED HAD TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO REGAIN POWER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS BECOMING MORE PROMINENT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 02V1200000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), WHICH THEY BELIEVED MAY BE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL PEARCE HONDA (780 KIETZKE LANE, RENO, NEVADA 89502; 775-789-7999) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2000 Honda Civic. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 193,786. It was later discovered through a Carfax Report that the Title mileage was 211,529.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after multiple attempts. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN for the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 169,000.

MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED DUE TO A MINOR FENDER BENDER WITH A CURB. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS PART OF THESE REPAIRS WITH A TRANSMISSION FROM A SALVAGE YARD. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER A DIAGNOSTICS TEST, THE CODE P0240 CONTINUED TO SHOW UP AFTER BEING RESET NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS LIGHT TURNS ON ABOUT THREE MILES OF DRIVING AFTER BEING RESET. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CODE AND THE HANDFUL OF CAUSES OF IT TO APPEAR, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME VEHICLES WILL NOT EVEN BE RUNNING DUE TO IT. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AROUND 50-60MPH WITH JUST A DELAYED SHIFT. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SHOWS THIS CODE MAY BE REMOVED BY CHANGING THE TCC SOLENOID, TRANSMISSION AND OIL FILTER, BUT IN MOST CASES; REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA CIVIC DX. MY TRANSMISSION GAVE ME NO WARNING IT WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON TOP OF A BRIDGE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I COASTED TO THE ENTRANCE OF A GAS STATION. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED 2 MINUTES TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. IT WENT FOR ABOUT A MILE THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED HOME. IT'S BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. I BEEN HAVING TO FIND A RIDE TO WORK AND TO DO ERRANDS. I BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT THE COSTS WOULD BE OVER $2500. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR, WEATHER RELATED ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MILES PER HOUR IN HEAVY SNOW. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT WHICH CAME UNLATCHED UPON INITIAL IMPACT WITH A GUARD RAIL ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR THEN CROSSED THE ROAD AND WENT INTO A DITCH, STRIKING SOME LARGE BOULDERS. THAT IMPACT WAS ON THE FRONT, DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CAR WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS INJURED WITH A BROKEN RIGHT ARM, BROKEN RIGHT LEG, NINE BROKEN RIBS AND SIGNIFICANT LACERATIONS TO MY HEAD AND RIGHT EAR FROM IMPACTING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FRONT WINDSHIELD. I SPENT 12 DAYS IN A CRITICAL CARE UNIT AND 18 DAYS IN A REHABILITATION CENTER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY. I HAD TO HAVE PLATES AND SCREWS INSTALLED IN MY LEG AND ARM TO REPAIR THE BROKEN BONES. MY HUSBAND INSPECTED AND TESTED THE DRIVER SEATBELT AND WHILE IT DID APPEAR TO HOLD ON SOME SOLID LATCHES OF THE BELT, WAS ABLE TO OBSERVE IT FAIL AND COME UNLATCHED AFTER HEARING A SOLID CLICK/LATCH SOUND AND THEN PULLING WITH HAND STRENGTH ON THE BELT HAVING IT COME UNLATCHED.

BRAKES NEED REPLACING APPROXIMATELY EVERY YEAR AFTER 12000 TO 15000 MILES. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE ON A HONDA CIVIC 2000 WITH UNDER 11, 000 MILES CAUSING CAR TO HIT SEVERAL OTHER CARS IN A PARKING LOT. CAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DETERMNED TO BE FAILURE OF THE SEAL SURROUNDING PISTON ON THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAMS ON THE CAR DO NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH THE HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK. IT SEEMS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE 2001 & 2002 HONDA CIVICS. THE FUESES IN THE CAR SEEM TO WORK FINE AND EVEN WHEN A NEW BULB IS INSTALLED THE LOW BEAMS ONLY WORK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE LOW BEAMS STOP WORKING.

THE CARS SAFETY BELTS HAVE HAD TROUBLE RETRACTING FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. I WAS UNAWARE OF BEING ABLE TO REPORT SAFETY ISSUES, OR WOULD HAVE MUCH SOONER. MOST RECENTLY THE LOW BEAMS WENT OUT. THE SRS LIGHT IS ALSO ON. THE CARS HORN IS WIRED INTO THE SRS SYSTEM. SO YOU LOOSE TWO MAJOR SAFETY FEATURES AT ONCE. VERY BAD DESIGN. THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD BEEN LOOSE FOR YEARS. THE SKID PLATE/FLOORBOARD CRACKED AND ALLOWED THE BOLTS OR HARDWARE TO CORRODE. I RAN THE VIN AND WAS SURPRISED NO RECALLS ARE AVAILABLE, AS THE PROBLEMS MY FAMILY IS EXPERIENCING HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON SIMILAR HONDA'S. *TR

UPON IT'S 90,000 SERVICE AT THE HONDA DEALER, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS ALSO RUSTED BUT IT'S NOT AS SIGNIFICANT. PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE. *TR

On October 16, 2021, my wife drove the car on the way home, then there was a sudden sound (like a huge fan) and a rough vibration from the engine. The battery light turned on. Then she had a hard time steering the wheel. It was really stiff. She made very wide turns, occupying multiple spaces and lanes. She can't totally control the car. When we arrived home, we popped the hood and found out that all the 3 belts in the engine were off. We just called our insurance today Oct 17 to have it towed to our mechanic. This car passed state inspection last Aug 2022 and we were able to take off 1 belt which seems to be in good condition. We also had 1 belt replaced last 2020.

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER HIGHER SPEED DRIVING, USUALLY COMING TO A HARD STOP, REQUIRING ME TO RESTART. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SO IT WAS A BIT SCARY, A SAFETY CONCERN. USUALLY WHILE COMING TO A STOP IS WHEN IT OCCURS EXITING FREEWAYS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO FIX, BUT THEY TELL ME MY VIN IS NOT AFFECTED BUT MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ARE,NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 02V120000, AND MY CAR HAS THE SYMPTOMS OF AN IGNITION PROBLEM. ALSO THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ROUGH AND SOMETIMES THE KEY JAMS. NOTE THAT IT COULD BE THAT ITS PAST 15 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WENT OUT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. I FEEL THEY ARE LIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR, I NEVER GOT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL AND HOPE FOR A REIMBURSEMENT AS WAS SUGGESTED BY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO COMPEL THEM TO FIX IT, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 02/25/18 EXITING THE FREEWAY AND COMING TO A STOP.

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FOR THE 2000 HONDA CIVIC COULD BE OPENED BY USING ANY KEY. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED CONTACT THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE WERE NO LONGER BEING USED, AND THE NEW LOCK SYSTEM THAT WAS BEING USED COULD NOT BE INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE POLICE DEPT INFORMED THE CONTACT THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS COULD BE OPENED BY USING ANY KEY. THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 55000 MILES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND SHUT DOWN AND COAST TO A STOP.. WILL START UP AGAIN AFTER 5 TO10 EFFORTS TO START. THIS IS INTERRMITTENT PROBLEM. YOU CANNOT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN OR HOW OFTEN IT WILL OCCUR.

CRACKING OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AT LESS THAN 140,000 MILES

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. MECHANIC (AAA-LISTED) DIAGNOSED MASTER WINDOW SWITCH, INSTALLED NEW OEM MASTER WINDOW SWITCH. THIS WEEK, SEPT. 2014, LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SAME WINDOW IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. I AM REPORTING B/C 5 HOURS RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE INDICATES THE PROBLEM TO BE PERVASIVE, ONGOING AND DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE. REPAIRS CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE, CAUSING SOME OWNERS TO JUST LEAVE THE WINDOW CLOSED. I CAN FIND NO RECALLS FROM HONDA. OBVIOUSLY, AN OPEN WINDOW IS DANGEROUS B/C ANYONE CAN ACCESS THE CAR OR THE DRIVER. A CLOSED WINDOW IS DANGEROUS IF ESCAPE IS NECESSARY. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

MANUAL TRANSMISSION JUMPS WHILE DRIVING ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO SECOND GEAR. MAKES WIERD GRINDING SOUND WHILE DRIVING SLOW. CAR SHUTTERS AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHILE IN 5TH GEAR IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH. CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITS SELF( WAS TOLD VIN NOT IN SEQUENCE FOR IGNITION RECALL). RIGHT FRONT SPRINGS STICKS AND SOME TIMES MAKES A ( " BOING" ) SOUND. CAR KEEPS PULLING TO RIGHT EVEN AFTER ALIGNMENT. WHEN HEATER OR DEFROSTER ARE ON THEY MAKE A LOUD CHIRPING SOUND. ON COLD OR RAINY DAYS STEAM WILL POUR OUT OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT SMELLING LIKE RADIATOR FLUID. WAS IN 2 MINOR ACCIDENTS ONE FRONT END COLISION ONE REAR END COLISSION BOTH ABOUT 30 MPH AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ENGINE IS BECOMING RUSTY AND CORODED. DRIVERS POWER WINDOW IS SLOW TO GO UP AND FRONT SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR LOSES POWER AND GAS MIELAGE. GOES OFFF WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR HONDA SCHEDULED SERVICE AND ALSO WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE PROBLEMS ADRESSED ABOVE WERE TOLD TO DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM..BUT THEY SURE DID WHEN MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW THEY WILL NOT FIX ANYHTING UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. *JB

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE CONTINUALLY WARPING. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND AM NOW ON MY THIRD SET OF ROTORS. FIRST AND SECOND SET OF ROTORS WERE EACH RE-MACHINED PRIOR TO REPLACEMENT. SPOKE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THEY CANNOT VERIFY MY DRIVING HABITS. CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, SO I USE ENGINE BRAKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID OVERUSE OF THE BRAKES. AM AT THE POINT NOW WHERE I AM AFRAID TO USE THE BRAKES FOR FEAR OF CONSTANTLY WARPING THE ROTORS. HAVE DONE SOME INFORMAL RESEARCH AND APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS HONDA MODELS, NOT JUST CIVIC. HONESTLY FEEL THAT I AM NOT HARD ON MY BRAKES, AND BELIEVE THIS IS MORE OF A DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART. HAVE NOT HAD ANY INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM YET, BUT IT IS ADVERSELY AFFECTING MY SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS, NOT TO MENTION MY FINANCES.*AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL IMPACT CRASH AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE GEAR SHIFT AREA. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND EXITED MY CAR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND WITHIN MINUTES MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME PUT IT OUT. *TR
