| Bought used june 2011 with about 169,000ish, was assured that everything was checked out. drove back home with no problems, and then the problems began. within two months the battery died, had to replace. in jan of 2012 car began to overheat and i noticed a 2 crack on the top of the radiator, replaced. now transmission hesitates and rpms go way up when shifting into fourth gear. i drained and changed the fluid with the recommended honda fluid, and now the high rpms and slipping are occurring in all forward gears. i feel like a voice in a freaking tornado when it come to any reasonable solution to my problem. this has been a major blow to honda's reputation for me. this seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed and an immediate safety recall needs to be taken out. | |||

| On october 30, 2004, i had the ignition switch replaced on my 1998 honda civic per the recall. in late december of 2007, i began having trouble starting my car. on six occasions, my car completely shut down while driving -- once on the interstate (under construction -- with no shoulder). the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch, but said that since it was previously taken care of per the recall, i had to pay to replace the 3 year old replacement ($364.). i saved the ignition that they replaced this time -- they did not allow me to save the ignition the first time (2004) (they said, because it was a recalled part). note: this is a honda civic (this site will not allow me to choose the correct model from the pull-down menu). *cn | |||
