No heat out of the floor section. Been to dealer twice. Both times told car is functioning normally. Second time I brought in a pyrometer to measure temps. Dash/defroster temp over 120F, floor temmp in the 40's. dealer says it is similar on other Civic's. we tested another on lot and it had similar problem. Honda says since it is happening on other Civics then my car doesn't have a problem. But on a zero degree morning having to choose between being warm or having a clear windshield is a problem. The design of the ventilation system has two defroster options. All air to the defroster or 50/50 defroster/floor. Neither option warms up the passenger compartment with the 50/50 option sending air that is about 20 degrees above the outside air temp into the car.

While traveling approximately 25 to 30 mph and making a turn, engine stalled and caused steering column to lock up. This problem did not result in a crash or injuries. Dealership examined vehicle for engine stalling, but has failed to remedy the problem. While driving, consumer heard a metal to metal sound coming from right wheel well. Consumer was told computer was not set properly according to the VIN code, this was a service bulletin, dealer stated this could be why stalling was occurring, 4 fuses blew and now dealer replaced fuse box, dealer thinks this may be a reason why the vehicle stalled also, dealer also states that he does not know why the fuses blew to begin with, the blown fuse caused moonroof to be inoperable. Vents loose. Trunk release inoperable. Springs squeak and were replaced. Defective weld in the passenger side door rusted. Vehicle experiences rough idle. Driver side tweeter cracking. Driver side mud flap loose. Passenger kick panel uneven. Fuel gauge erratic.
