List your New civic problems here

the thing that's pissed me off the most is that we especially bought a honda for their supposed great build quality and the service you recieve, well, the car is shit and the customer service was terrible!

If I buy a BMW, a Benz, or something along those lines, then yes I'd expect service. But when you're buying a Honda Civic.... I think the service one would expect is in a totally diff league.

the build quality of the jazz.. is 10x better than that of the civic!!.. even tho I own an fd1..

i think they employed some kids with no arms to build them

[HondaTechy]

I disagree, jazz gear box problems compared to civic ones are astronomical.Ile have personlaly the civic factory in thailand andf there not build by little kids

it was a figure of speech due to the lack of any "build quality" put into the civic

My steering rack is crack somehow..and im loosing power steering fluid..which makes funny ufo noises when engine is cold..sent to honda. all they did was toped up fluid and made a report to honda HQ...fucin hell!

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.

just need to be cleaned... use silicon spray do the trick (I think Honda ppl will do the same as well)

i haven't seen an 8th gen civic that hasn't had a problem! so far build quality seems to be nil
