8th Gen Issues - Shame on you Honda

[Fizz]

my wife's 6 month old corolla sedan also has a few rattles already. They managed to fix one of em, but still unable to "hear" the others. By the way this car is made in japan we're upgrading to a dualis next year.

theyre sexy but ive driven my misses one a few times and it just not right...

the gear changes feel wrong, the steering is so hard after 40km/h

and like many of you


drivers window problem
interior panels popping up
trim on door lifting

[Aco3n]

Just wondering if any of you ever experience the car is vibrating when it's starting from the first gear?

It seems like driving a car with a messed up engine mounting.. but the thing is.. it's intermittent.. it would be hard for me to prove it to the dealership.. except it is happening when the next service due..

I've reported it to the dealer.. and they said nothing wrong with my car.. unless I can show it to them..

any advice?

Those with engine and transmission problems, is your Civic the VTI/L or Sport?

civic vtil for me. dont tell me the vti has less problems. hehe

the hard part is showing it to the mechanic. most of the time they will just say its normal and you're not the expert.
by the way, ive also had zero problems with my 8 year old corolla. not even blown light bulbs. and battery is still from factory. after experiencing the brand new civic i wonder to myself how does toyota do it. its funny but the body of the corolla actually feel as 'tight' as the civic. if u know what i mean.

i also have a 1988 Magna, yep 20 years old!!! its now blowing a little blue smoke when i start her up, but other than that, she is still a smooth car to drive, although lost some of her oommpph in acceleration! it has 180k on the clock.

VTi and VTIL will have the same engine/transmission problems. The reason I asked is because the Civic is the first car that Honda has used the R18A engine in. So there could be some hiccups since it is a new design.

Go to the dealer. You have warranty.

[amato2]

yeah i have already dropped it off to them, they have given me a lone car while they try and fix it up, dropped it off this arvo they reckon ill get it back tomorrow some time

just spewing i have had to bring it back and i havent even had it yet for a whole week

[buddah51au]

i can honestly say that after 22 months and 45,000km i have not experienced any problems other than the power windows sticking and that is a 1 minute fix with a can of silicone spray

am from across the ditch here, so the civic's made in japan.

no issues apart from the creaking of the dash (attributed to bad fitting) and horrid wipers.

07 civic sport manual
driver and passenger windows not wanting to rise - fixed this with a quick spray of lithium grease while the window was down.
occasional rattle from passenger side door area - could be the seat belt banging while unclipped.
seat belt warning chime failing to sound sometimes - must be something wrong inside the drivers side buckle.
CD stacker loves to keep cds. press eject and it swallows the cd as soon as it ejects it. you need to be real quick or prepared to fight it. ling ling will battle CD monster.
and while im having a whinge, i can NOT remotely open my boot, where is the button on the key for this? a bloody falcon has this option.

Does anyone know how to remove these little yellow spots on my lovely white paint? looks like bee poo. could be bird droppings. can not get it off with soap, orbital polisher, or fingernail even!
