CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2001 Civic has transmission problems, transmission problems & more transmission problems. Did we mention transmission problems? And a dangerous defect with the front airbag that didn't get recalled for 10 years.
Although eventually the defective 2001 Civic airbag inflators were fixed under recalls in 2011 & 2013, that meant for 10 to 12 years airbags were activating with excessive force where metal fragments went shooting into passengers when the airbag deployed.
As for the 2001 Civic's transmission woes? Honda conducted a major transmission recall in 2004 & settled a class action lawsuit for defective transmissions in 2006. But, neither the recall or the lawsuit included the 2001 Civic.
Last thing to consider - the 2001 Civic is the most-recalled car ever, closely followed by the 2002 Civic & the 2001 Accord. The 2001 Civic is the 4th most-recalled vehicle overall, only a Ford truck & two Ford vans have more.
both windshields are held in place only by glue. trim gone
the trim has all broken off around the windshields. I literally have gorilla tape on my front windshield just as a safety precaution,( i know, but it makes me feel better..) Absolutely the worst car ever made.
Since the car was new, the rubber gasket that runs along the edge of the window and door keeps dropping below the frame. I can pull it back up, but it eventually comes back down. I didn't notice it right away. Rain comes in and the noise is terrlble. Any suggestions?
