2000 Honda Civic Body and structure Problems

“The cars safety belts have had trouble retracting for about 5 years. I was unaware of being able to report safety issues, or would have much sooner. Most recently the low beams went out. The srs light is also on. The cars horn is wired into the srs system. So you loose two major safety features at once. Very bad design. The drivers seat had been loose for years. The skid plate/floorboard cracked and allowed the bolts or hardware to corrode. I ran the VIN and was surprised no recalls are available, as the problems my family is experiencing have been recalled on similar Honda's.”

“I bought a Honda Civic 2000 and the vehicle has a major flaw in its car seats. It produces high electricity shocks when you touch the doors (metal). I think this is a major defect and a potential lawsuit for Honda if someone gets seriously injured in an explosion. This is an everyday issue and my family is even afraid to get in the car.”

“I dropped my car of 7/21/03 for engine repair and body work. The body shop said it would take 10 days. 7/28/03 my car was broken into while in their shop and I was not alarmed until 21/2 weeks after the break in incident by the detective on the case. In between the time before I knew about the break in, I've spoken to the owner inquiring about the time frame my car would be finished, the owner never mentioned of the incident. When I did find out of the incident and confronted store owner he stated that he thought I knew. …”

“The rear sub-frame on my 2000 Honda Civic si has ripped on both sides. This is not just a problem I am having. I know of several other people having this very same problem. I do not race the car and all of the driving is done on road. Aside from an aftermarket clutch the vehicle is stock, no suspension work at all. The car comes with a 13mm rear sway bar as stock equipment. When I began hearing about people having problems with the sub frame ripping I purchased reinforcement plates and installed them in an effort to reduce the stress placed on the sub-frame. This is a major problem! …”

“Upon it's 90,000 service at the Honda dealer, it was found that the front subframe is almost completely rusted through on the passenger side. The driver's side is also rusted but it's not as significant. Photos are available.”
