2001 Honda Civic Body & Structure Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE HOOD FLIPPED OPEN AND SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD AND DENTED THENROOF AND HOOD. THE LATCH TO THE HOOD BROKE.

WHILE DRIVING HOOD FLIPPED UP , WENT AND PARKED VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE HOOD LATCH HAD COME OFF THE BASE DUE TO RUST ISSUE . THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT I COULD NOT SEE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HAS ANY OTHER ISSUES AROSE LIKE THIS ONE THAT HAPPENED TO ME? THANK YOU.

DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, CITY STREET, AND THE HOOD FLEW OPEN AND SMASHED RIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, CRACKING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH. THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. CALLED HONDA DEALER AND THEY JUST LAUGHED AND SAID: YEAH, THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

CLEAR COAT IS PEELING AWAY FROM HOOD, ROOF, AND DOOR. *TR

HOOD WILL NOT LATCH COMPLETELY. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, UPPER RADIATOR SUPPORT BEAM (AKA FRONT BULKHEAD CROSSBEAM) METAL IS EXTREMELY THIN AND FRACTURED AND/OR MISSING IN SEVERAL AREAS. HOOD LATCH IS STILL BOLTED INTO THE BROKEN FRAGMENTS OF METAL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RUBBER SEALS AROUND HER WINDOW WERE PEELING. THE DEALER STATED THAT INCLEMENT WEATHER CAUSED THE FAILURE BECAUSE HER VEHICLE WAS NOT PLACED IN A GARAGE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW SEALS AT THE COST OF $50 EACH. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

THE PLASTIC COVER FOR THE AIR BAG DEVELOPED A TWO INCH CRACK. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WOULD BE COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THE CRACK OR IF THE COVER WILL BREAK OFF AND HIT THE PASSENGER WHEN THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. *TC

WHILE DRIVING THE MOLDING THAT HELD THE DOOR ATTACHMENT FELL OFF. *NLM

CUSTOMER HIT A TRUCK HEAD-ON. THE FUSE PANEL SHATTERED AND SEVERELY LACERATED THE DRIVERS LEG.

CONSUMER STATED COLLIDED WITH NEIGHBOR'S CAR TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 5MPH AND THE FRONT BUMPER WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. CONSUMER FEELS THAT BUMPER DESIGN IS UNSAFE AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY PROTECTION IN A MORE SERIOUS COLLISION. TS CONSUMER HAS HAD 3 OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. *TT

NEW CAR SMELL COMES FROM INTERIOR OF VEHICLE AND IS MAKING CONSUMER SICK. CONSUMER HAS YET TO CONTACT DEALER. CONSUMERS IS VERY SENSITIVE TO CHEMICALS, AND IS CONCERNED WITH HEALTH ISSUES. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

PAINT IS DEVELOPING CROWS FEET IN FOUR SEPERATE PLACES. DEALERSHIP SENT ME TO A CONTRACTED BODY SHOP FOR EVALUATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. BODY SHOP SAID THAT IT WAS DUE TO BIRD DROPPINGS OR SAP. HAD ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PACKAGE APPLIED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. I WASH THIS CAR ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND HOSE OFF BIRD DROPPINGS AS THEY ARE NOTICED. THESE PLACES ARE ALSO ON THE SIDE OF VEHICLE (NOT A FLAT SURFACE). I FIND THIS IMPOSSIBLE AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECT IN PAINT. BLEMISHES AND LOSS OF GLOSS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE PAINT. LANDMARK HONDA DID OFFER A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS UNACCEPTIBLE. WARRANTY INFORMATION ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PACKAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MAILED TO ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION. IT WASN'T. DEALER EXPLAINED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THAT THEY PURCHASE AN INSURANCE POLICY ON THE PAINT WITH THE APPLICATION AND THAT THIS WAS NEVER DONE. THEY TURNED AROUND AND PURCHASED THIS INSURANCE AFTER THE FACT, MAILED ME THE WARRANTY INFO WITH 800 NUMBER, AND ASKED ME TO WAIT TWO WEEKS BEFORE CONTACTING THEM SO THAT IT WOULDN'T BE SUSPECT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE INSURANCE FRAUD AND AS MUCH AS I DO WANT THE CAR FIXED, I DON'T WANT TO BREAK LAWS IN DOING SO. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

SMALL ROCKS WERE FOUND IN THE FRONT SPLASH GUARD AFTER HEARING THEM HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE 4-8 TIMES. ONE DEALER REMOVED THE STONES AND THEY FELL 3 MORE TIMES. WE TOOK THE VEHICHLE TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND IT WAS CHECKED AGAIN WITH NO STONES BEING FOUND. THE STONES WERE HAZARDOUS AND THEIR ORIGIN SHOULD BE DETERMINED. *AK

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40-45MPH IN A RAIN STORM. CONSUMER HEARD A "WOMP" NOISE, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STOP. CONSUMER FOUND OUT IT WAS A CAT THAT WAS HIT. FRONT BUMPER WAS DESTROYED, BUT WAS BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. CONSUMER WAS QUESTIONING WHY DAMAGE WAS SO SEVERE FROM HITTING A SMALL ANIMAL. *AK CONSUMER ALSO BACKED SLOWLY INTO MAILBOX POST AND CAUSED $800 DAMAGE BECAUSE OF A SLIGHT CUT THROUGH THE REAR BUMPER. *SLC

WHEN RAINING WATER COULD LEAK INSIDE OF VEHICLE THROUGH DRIVER'S SIDE AND WILL MAKE CARPET WET, AND COULD BE CAUSING CONSUMER NOT TO CONTROL PEDALS OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.*AK
