this car has been issue after issue,lied to by Honda and told was my heater core,,got me for 1000.00,,then kept over heating,a local guy flushed and bled system and fixed issue,,then the damn heater stops on my wife on way to work,28 degrees out,,and at same time brake light on cluster panel came on,,the brakes are fine,a new heater motor installed and thermal unit replaced,,guess what,,still no heater blower,the car has a short and may catch fire,,Honda don't give a rats ass unless again fork out more money,,don't buy any,,any,any 2002 Honda civic ex's they're junk,,2,500.00 down the drain,wife's afraid it will catch fire,,I'm too decent to sell this trash to another,,sooo I got screwed,,,listen,,don't buy a damn Honda,,the dealers lie their asses off about the cars,,but if you read the complaints,the car's a money bucket for Honda,,and they will lie and say its this to,,keep bilking you out of more money to fix more sh*t,,if you get it looked at,,take it to a little guy,,he may find the issue,,,doubtful tho.
