I also have problems with my window regulator on my 1999 Honda Civic ex sedan. My car was only 4 years old when the driver side window went out while rolling it down and stuck halfway. After taking the door panel off and looking at it, the plastic holding the wires in it had split and the wires were rubbing causing them to fray. My husband switched that regulator over to the passenger side door and the passenger over to the driver so that I could at least use my driver side window. About a year later that window did the same thing. Now I am stuck with two front windows that will not roll down. I called the dealer to see how much it would cost to fix them and they said you have to replace the motor and everything even though there is nothing wrong with the motor. It will cost $265 to replace when you include labor.

I notice the passenger right front window was not functioning properly. The window would go up and down slowly. The Honda mechanic diagnosis reported the window regulator needed replacing. Two months later the driver left front window would go up and down slowly. Last week the window would not go up on its own and I had someone help pull the window up. I know its the regulator. I want to know if any car owners who own a 1999 4 sedan Honda Civic are experiencing the same problem. I've own two cars previously and never experience the regulator shortning out after 4 years. I don't know if anything can be done at this stage since the car is no longer under warranty but I want a record of this particular problem I've experienced with my car.

I received a recall notice on my 1999 Honda Civic for the ignition switch in September 2002. I took the car to get a new switch installed. After that I did not see a positive change or faster start up of the car. In fact, it seemed to start slower and slower. When I would press the accelerator I felt a grinding sensation under my foot from the gas pedal, which sounded like the car was struggling to speed up. Also, when I would turn the key in the ignition the car would not start right away, it stalled for about (7) seven seconds or so. I believe this car is a lemon. When I bought it, the gears wouldn't change properly. I would press the accelerator to go up to spped on the highway and it would take a long time for the car to change gears, it sounded very loud because of this. I don't know why it did this, I am concerned and it became very annoying. I had an accident while driving this car on Oct. 16, 2002. As I was driving I heard something crack under the car and the car started to spin to the other side of the road causing me to lose control of the car. I believe the car had a safety defect that caused the wheels to break, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. The insurance adjuster told me these are some of the damages to the car: The bottom of the floor shifted, the axle broke, the tires and wheels broke, they declared the car a total loss. I believe the wheels/tires broke first, which is probably what the cracking sound was that I heard which caused the car swerve. My insurance company paid the car off so fast which leads me to believe they are hiding something. Aslo, I think the steering of the car was out of line, because sometimes the car would veer to the right when I would be driving straight it would be difficult to stay in the lane I would appreciate all the information you can give to help me find out what else is wrong with this car as I already said a recall for the ignition was issued more defects may be found.
