2003 Honda Civic Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Window switch meltdown happens in earlier Honda civics. I recently read that Honda was recalling cars for a window master switch that melted when it got moisture in it like when it rains with the window down. This problem has persisted for years. My 2003 Civic melted and could have caused a fire three years ago after a little moisture. Where was the recall back then if we were really concerned about this problem?”

“I bought my Honda Civic ex in 2003 from lute riley Honda of richardson. Not long after buying it, maybe 6 months, a small crack in the windshield on the driver's side was noticed incidentally, although no debris hitting the windshield was noted. The crack extends all the way from the bottom edge of the windshield, and since I haven't attended to the crack due to job schedule, it now extends up more than half the length of the glass. No point of impact crater has ever been noticed anywhere on the windshield. …”

“Issue 1) driver-side sun visor broke off while repositioning to block out obstructive glare; caused driver to pull off road as glare prevented safe driving; sun visor was replaced at consumers expense in 2012. Issue 2) during 2012, driver-side door lock became more difficult to unlock, initially intermittent issue. Honda dealership said not a problem. June 2013 the key would get stuck/unable to unlock or lock door consistently; therefore lock was replaced at consumers expense.”

“At all times turn signals began to work intermediately. Had fuses and relays checked (not the problem). Soon after driver side low beam headlight went out. Had bulb changed, worked for approximately 2 days then both low beam headlights went out along with both high beam headlights and emergency flashers. Have took vehicle in for diagnostic in which the turn lever was replaced and still didnt repair anything. No one can seem to find the problem. All symptoms seem to fall into category with recall #:12v136000 but when entering my VIN recall isnt shown. Please help! …”

“The front windshield on my 2003 Honda Civic hybrid has many fine and larger scratches running every which way which produces a lot of glare, especially at night from the lights of oncoming cars.”
