Seems stuck sometimes, all my passengers trying to open from the outside think its closed.

Need to get that fixed by honda sometime soon on my next service.

Any had this problem?

i have that issue with the back from the inside... the flap opens but nothing happens with the door, u cant tell its been opened till u push it. its just a cheap car lol cant expect much more from something sub 30k, and i highly doubt they can fix this...

CD Stacker has died. It has swallowed 1 cd. Refuses to play it, eject it, or load additional CDs. Makes contiuous mechanical noises in its failed attempt to load the CD.
Honda have confirmed the Alpine unit will be replaced. Car is in its 2nd year of warranty.
I use CD-Rs (MP3s) and have had many issues inserting and ejecting discs since new.

Interestingly, the customer in front of me at Honda Warranty was there to complain about a similar problem with his 06 Integra. I believe this is a different CD stacker though.

cigarette lighter would be from car chargers.. honda wont replace that under warranty - wear and tear.

but nothing gets plugged in there... ever

fair enough... apparently the gps and phone plugs wear them out a bit but if its not being used for anything...

**curtis265** · 08-10-2009 09:54 PM

if they were to replace it for me, how much do u reckon they would they charge?

It's all rusted inside there for some reason

Hi guys. I have just purchased a used 07 FD2 Civic Sport auto...have had it about 2 weeks and so far i think its great..

hoping someone can assist or shed some light on a mysterious water leak that i found today in my driveway...after driving about 50 mins in peak hour home (was a nice sunny arvo about 18 degrees here in chilly Melbourne) i notice a water leak after moving my car into the garage..seems to be coming from around the left front passenger firewall area...let the car idle and sure enough there is a slow and steady leak (about a drop every 2-3 seconds)

Its definitely just water (very clear), checked the coolant level was ok...popped the oil cap no sludge (feared the worst blown head gasket)..but surely its only done 24,000 kays..
I did not use the aircon at all (in fact dont think i have used it yet) as i thought it may be the condenser freezing and then melting the water.....

Anyone else experienced this? Probably nothing too drastic but still shouldn't happen on a newish car..car is under warranty until May next year (haven't had a chance to send of the change of registered owner yet) hope Honda do still cover if there turns out to be a problem...will work out which dealer i need to take it to tomorrow

Anyone ideas?

was the aircon on?

nvm... just read that you didn't...

From memory, I only get it from using the aircon.

maybe bring it up in your free 1st month service.
