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.

My 2002 Honda Civic had optional fog lights installed as a dealer option. One of the fog lamps took a small rock hit in normal traffic and release quarter sized chunks of glass under the car. I did not have an accident; however, the glass that is installed in these extremely expensive items is unsafe as it can easily break and go under tires, causing blow outs.
