| The first time during the 1st week of august 08, my wheel locked. i was in the process of turning into a parking lot and there was no oncoming traffic. aaa tow truck guy found loose nut on power steering pump (right next to belt) right away and tightened it for me. it was a temp fix so i could drive to get service instead of tow. unfortunately, i don't think my honda service people didn't check it like i requested cause it came loose again (1 wk later)...locking my wheel. i thank god i wasn't on a freeway or making a sharp turn around other vehicles. honda mechanics don't understand why this nut is coming loose. they claim they re-tightened (torqued) it but i'm scared. it could come loose again!!!! still in process of having problem corrected. *tr | |||

| Purchased 2004 civic vp new (this is my 4th honda civic). from day 1, there has been a noticeable vibration/shimmy in steering wheel and front end. upon visit to dealer, i was told that the vibration/shimmy could not be duplicated, but oem tires (dunlop sp20) could be separating. during a subsequent visit, vibration/shimmy was acknowledged. dunlop dealer said that the tires are okay, but 2 front wheels were bent. honda dealer replaced 2 front wheels and remounted/rebalanced the original tires. all tires were rebalanced and rotated. vibration/shimmy persists and continues to be noticeable at all speeds. steering wheel vibration/shimmy is observable and felt when turning the wheel, regardless of vehicle speed. dealer suggested test drive of identical 2004 civic vp; i, and the dealer service manager, noticed the same issues with this civic. problem remains unresolved.*ak | |||

| Problems with transmission and tie rod bolts were loose.*mr the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because there was a noise in the passenger front wheel and the gears were grinding when moving form second to third gear. the technician told the consumer that the vehicle's tires were bald therefore she was racing the car. he went on to say that he would not check the transmission unless she agreed to pay for it. the consumer appealed the decision of the dealer and contacted the manufacturer. the struts were loose on the right side. the tie rod bolts were loose which was probably the cause of the bald tires. the manufacturer refused to honor the warranty for the transmission although the vehicle was only six months old. *nm | |||
