This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The remote door locks stopped working when the car had been sitting for a week in the driveway. Apparently a "crystal" which controls this broke. There was no reson on my part why it should have broken. I don't see why I should pay $450 for something that is a defect and has been fixed numerous times by my mechanic in Civics of the same year. Also, the passenger side window has failed in numerous Civics from 1996 according to my mechanic, leading us to believe that both of these problems are defects.
