NHTSA — Latches/Locks/Linkages: Trunk Lid: Lock Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

CarComplaints.com Notes: Yes, the Honda Civic receives a lot of complaints because so many were sold. And sure, car parts only last so long and things eventually break. But it's never good to see this many transmission complaints, especially when the average mileage at failure is just north of 100,000 miles.

Especially when you consider that it's predecessor also has a nasty history with transmission complaints.

Trunk appeared to be closed, opened while traveling down the highway. I've researched the internet and there appears to be a defect with the trunk latches on 2002 Civics. The trunk closes very hard. At times, it may appear as though it is latched but will come open when hitting a bump etc.
