problem #1

Civic EX 1.8L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,200 miles

When i start my car the interior lights and headlights dim and light up (back and forth) very annoying, very distracting. I told my mechanic and he checked the battery and said it was fine, he told me it may be my alternator but i do NOT! have the money to replace it after having just replaced the serpentine belt and pulleys as well as having my throttle body cleaned because it set off the check engine light. Today my airbag light went on as well and didn't turn off the entire ride. I got home turned the car off and restarted it and it finally turned off. I purchased this car because honda has had a great reputation for RELIABLE cars. Haaaaaa. Honda step up and recall the serpentine belt at the least; this electrical problem is just as much of a pain but not as expensive.
