2003 Honda Civic Suspension Problems

"TAKATA RECALL"..THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY CAR RANDOMLY COMES ON A LOT, I WORRY THAT IT WILL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. 2ND CONCERN: SUSPENSION IN MY CAR IS VERY BAD, I HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK IT AND HE SAID HE HAD LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN LOTS OF CIVICS, HE CAN'T FIND PROBLEM.

WHENEVER WE ARE GOING UP A THE HILL THE CAR LOSS SPEED AND A LOT OF POTENCY. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THERE WAS A WOBBLING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS EACH TIME, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED. *AK

I NOTICED MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC EX FP WITH 9,388 MILES ON IT LEANING TOWARDS THE FRONT LEFT. MEASURED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TIRES AND WHEEL WELL RIM AND FOUND THERE WAS A 1 TO 1/12 INCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT RIM AND THE REMAINING 3 TIRE RIMS. BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A "COIL SPRING PROBLEM" THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED. *NM

NOISE IN FRONT SUSPENSION WHILE TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. POPPING NOISE IN FRONT END WHILE MANEUVERING AT PARKING LOT SPEEDS. *JB

MY 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FRONT LEFT SUSPENSION MOUNT IS MAKING CREAKING NOISES, THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDS REPLACING. *NM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SWAYED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMBER UNIT WAS NOT INSTALLED IN THE REAR OR FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE'S STEERING LOCKED UP RESULTING IN CONSUMER HITTING AN EMBANKMENT. *MR THE STEERING WHEEL SPUN TO THE LEFT AND LOCKED IN THE LEFT POSITION. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE BRAKES. IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE BALD. THE SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN AND COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPIN OUT. *SC

I PURCHASED A HONDA CIVIC HYBRID THINKING I WAS GOING TO GET GOOD GAS MILAGE SINCE I DRIVE 38 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK. WHEN I WAS ONLY GETTING ABOUT 35 -26 MPH I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A NEW CAR AND THE MILEAGE WILL IMPROVE. SO AFTER 35000 MILES AND MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER I STILL ONLY GET 36 MPHAND THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THEY CAN SAY THAT THIS CAR WAS TO GET 48 MPGH. ALSO AFTER TWO MONTHS OF HAVING THE CAR I WAS HEARING A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END AND IT TURNED OUT THE SHOCKS WERE BAD, AND THE DEALER REPLACED THEM BUT FAILED TO ALINE MY CAR AND WORE OUT THE FRONT TIRES. ALSO I CAN NOT TAKE THIS CAR ON LONG TRIPS SINCE I CAN NOT CLIMB LONG HILLS WITH OUT THE HIGHVOLTAGE BATTERY THAT ASSISTS THE ENGINE RUNNING OUT OF JUICE AND STOPS WORKING AND STALLS. *AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ONGOING PROBLEM OF WANDERING ACROSS THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH OR MORE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK

THERE IS A LOUD POPPING OR KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR SIDE OF THE CAR WHEN I GO OVER AN INCLINE WHILE TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE DEALER HEARD THE PROBLEM AND TRIED TO FIX IT TWICE BUT I AM STILL HEARING IT. *NM
