My son was critically injured in an accident in 2014 with this vehicle. He was on a country road and missed a sharp curve entering a field. The airbag did not deploy, the seatbelt did not hold and the seat back collapsed. He was ejected from the vehicle. This vehicle was totaled as a result of this accident and I have notified Honda multiple times. I still receive recall notifications.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while at a stop light, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The passenger's side air bag was the only air bag to deploy. The contact also stated that the driver's side seat adjusters became fractured during the crash, which caused the seat to fall in reverse. A police report was filed and the driver sustained internal bruising from the steering wheel. The driver also sustained a herniated and bulging disc in the neck, which required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.

I have had my drivers side seat track replaced at least 5 times since I have owned the car. I have also have had both front struts replaced, both front springs, rear speaker, rear bumper repainted. I am trying to get rid of the car under the NJ lemon law. To this day I have not been satisfied. This has been going on for more than a year.

Driver seat rocks back and forth under normal use. I've now had this repaired twice, once at about 10,000 miles and again at about 20,000 miles. The second time, a note was on the receipt noting a service bulletin but not what it said. Both times, paperworks says bushings were replaced. Not very happy with the idea of owning a car that has driver seat bushings requiring replacement every 10,000 miles after the warranty runs out. I notice this problem noted in service bulletin 01057 of this site.

The air bag light illuminated on the dash board, the dealer replaced the part, however the light illuminated again. The occupancy position detector system was replaced, the rear defroster and cruise control was inoperative, there was a loud clunk noise while driving and on turns, the radio was inoperative, the back window was replaced along with the antenna, the fog light switch was loose, the brake light had gone out, there was a rattle in the rear seat, the fuel cap was loose, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and the trunk lid did not close.

Car has been nothing but problems since purchased in March 2001. Brakes have been replaced 2 times for vibration problems again 4000 miles later brakes are bad. Tires worn to unsafe tread depth w/ 2500 miles. Front struts both blown, told by dealer that they were on national back-order"?" as to when they will be available. Driver seat rocks, dealer fixed once saying a shim was broke, again 8000 miles later driver seat rocks again. Paint on car has many small rust spots. Clutch must have flat spots on it, as when I release clutch to start moving there is a jumping sensation able to be felt by driver. Again car has been nothing but problems.
