"takata recall" my airbags went off when I was turning and went over a a bump, and cracked my windshield really bad on the passenger side. The SRS red light had been on for quite some time before this. When this occurred it blew a fuse and I had to have it towed. I did not file a police report because I only have liability insurance for the car so insurance did not need it. I have also had problems with the wiring and the cruise control would not work and would honk the horn when I tried to use

I had car computer problems, air conditioning problem and paint on car body is cracking. These problems started to happen gradually, computer problems happened while I was driving on the road in the city; the paint started to crack for many years and the car looks miserable. The air conditioning broke down during a summer time, when I had no money to repair it and had to suffer due to the high heat weather. There is also a crack somewhere in the engine, not sure where, which can make things worse.

The vtec-E on my 1997 Honda Civic hx is not engaging at the proper times which is not only an annoyance when driving, but also a safety hazard when it engages at low speeds (which it should not do) in traffic launching you forward into the back ends of other vehicles. Has caused (2) rearenders.

I have a 97 Civic dx and several times while driving the car will turn off and is to hard to control the wheels, when turns off there is no engine lights & the car dies totally and I try to turn the car on but it wont start I need to wait for about 5 minutes then I can turn the car again. I have been doing some research in the internet and it seems that I'm not the only one who have this problem and it seems to possible could be the ignition switch.

While driving the vehicle, the engine just quits. There is no stuttering, stalling, or engine misfires, it quietly just quits. The radio, heater fan, brake lights still work but not the signal lights. This also happens when starting the vehicle. The problem started 1-2X a month and over a period of 7 months has now become an everyday occurrence.
