CarComplaints.com Notes: Haven't we all owned one of these things at some point? Despite being a popular first car for teenage drivers and, as a result, being beat up like no other, the late 90's Civic is a true endurance car. And it still gets better gas mileage than more modern cars.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
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 Honda Civic 1999 will not pass state emissions test not because of the catalytic converter (which from what I understand is covered no matter what), but because of the oxygen sensor. Honda claims even after the warranty is up any problems associated with failing emissions test are covered no questions asked. My question is why hasn't there been a recall on this piece. Many who have this model are complaining about the exact problem. I have put a lot of money into this car and it seems more problems occur. I was told until I get the sensor replaced, I should put a higher level of gas(89/93) in the car, which means more money out of my pocket. Also, the car vibrates uncontrollably at high speeds and while stopped, it feels as if it is going to stall. I was never informed of the recall on the ignition piece. Hopefully, Honda will fix that problem. The oxygen sensor needs to be replaced by Honda.
While driving engin check light came on, and consumer's noticed a 50% drop in gas mileage. Vehicle checked by dealer, who determined oxygen sensor had failed. Vehicle will not pass state emissions requirements.
