1999 Honda Civic Body & Structure Problems

Three of your four doors won't open from the outside, even though the locks work fine. You can open the doors from the inside (except the driver's door, which won't open at all from either side), but the outside handles don't respond. The problem appears to be inside the door panels rather than with the handles themselves, creating a safety concern since the driver's door is completely stuck shut.

THE PAINT ON MY 1999 HONDA CIVIC ALONG WITH ALL OTHER CARS ALIKE THE GREEN PAINT AND THE CLEAR COAT SEPARATE CAUSING BUBBLES IN THE PAINT AND PEELING. THIS IS AFFECTING ALL GREEN CIVICS OF THIS YEAR LEADING TO THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

'99 ODYSSEY--SLIDING DOOR FAILURE. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE CAR--PASSENGER DOOR FAILED--DEALER REPAIRED. THIS JULY--AGAIN. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT--BUZZER SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY. VERY SCARY WHEN GRANDCHILDREN RIDING IN CAR! I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF THIS COMPLAINT ON WEBSITES--ISN'T IT TIME FOR HONDA TO OWN UP TO THE DANGER WITH THESE DOORS AND RECALL FOR REPAIR? *TR

MOUSE INFESTATION OF '99 HONDA COVIC. PURCHASED CAR IN JULY 1999, FOUND MOUSE EVIDENCE WITHIN TWO MONTHS, CAUGHT MOUSE WITH TRAP. FOUND MORE EVIDENCE SUMMER 2003, SET TRAPS AND CAUGHT 10-12 MICE. TOOK CAR INTO DEALER FOR 30,000 MAINTENANCE AND TO FIX HEATER (WHICH WAS PLUGGED WITH SOMETHING). DEALER SHOP REMOVED THREE MORE MICE FROM AIR INTAKE/HEATER MOTOR AREA. WITH HANTIVIRUS FROM MICE DROPPINGS A REAL THREAT IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, SAFETY IS AN ISSUE. THE CAR WAS NEVER LEFT OPEN WHEN PARKED. DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND GLASS IN CAR AND SUSPECTED US OF BREAKING GLASS AND LEAVING CAR EXPOSED TO OUTSIDE CRITTERS.NOT TRUE, THE MICE ARE ENTERING BY SOME ENTRANCE "NOT LOCATED BY HONDA DEALER". REPAIRMAN TOLD WIFE THAT HE HAD SEEN "LOT'S OF MICE INFESTATIONS", BUT CHANGED HIS STORY WHEN HIS BOSS CORRECTED HIM AND GAVE HIM A DIRTY LOOK. WE SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA WILL ADMIT.*AK
