List your New civic problems here
hi i am reseraching for a friend about his car with a blown engine. his name is BXX SXX and he is still stressed about what has happened.
now i have known him for a long time and i know very well the way he drives. i have read some posts and have found there seems to be alot of problems on these new civics. i though i might help him do some research into history of they civic's past.
please no honda flaming and hating. anyhelp will be much appreciated.

they claim civilised but the thing i dont get is who puts an intake system in there car then drives civilised but still that problem of the blown engine shouldnt of happen.
probs with FD
Drivers window fell off the rails.
Rattling noises everywhere.
Windscreen wipers screw up after about 2 weeks.

For me:
- The little grille that you need to remove to change foglamp bulb. It is very hard to pull out and very hard to put back. It will sometimes move and bend the clips a little. Eventually it will break.
- Low beam bulb is so hard to get to. You need to go from the fender and remove 2 studs (as stated in manual). It is impossible as about 7 studs needs to be removed and fender needs to be flexed. I think this is a design fault. Low beams sound be accessible from the engine bay.

i know a few people who claim they have rattling noises from their fds but all turned out to be objects that they have in their car which is causing the noises. the guy who claimed he had a rattling noise turned out to be the 'the six star solution tin case' given when you buy the car kept in the glove box.

Driver and passenger window runners dry up, this is extremely common, spray them with silicon lube and all is good.
And the trim pieces near the front A pillar trim dont seem to sit well. And the only other problem ive seen is a drive belt tensioner let go.
Thats about it.

Yup, my parents had this exact same issue. No visible signs of leaking fluid on the driveway either. Very strange.
My dad said the fluid level was below minimum, sitting the car on a flat surface. He picked up a bottle of transmission fluid, topped it up and now the noise is gone.
Interestingly to note, the service was done 2k ago, so it looks like either the power steering fluid level was not checked, or most of the fluid has leaked out over a period of 2000kms.
I've owned 3 honda's since I've had my license and never seen so many problems with the civic's. Something definitely is up with quality control. Makes Toyota's seem attractive!

hey guys,
had the fd for about 2-3 months, noticed the other day with the drivers side window getting jammed when its about to shut, more than half way its starts shuttering and got jammed. Turned the car off and on, it ran smoothly then happened the day after. Haven't had problems since, is this the sign of the dodgy drivers side window?
I often have the drivers side windows down just underneath the weathershields on a day to day basis.
Is there a easy fix solution ? or just take it back to Honda. I thought i'll ask here before I do take it back to them.
