In all seriousness, this probably was down to a combination of factors, and suggesting there is an inherrent problem with all Civics is just scare mongering.
Who is suggesting there is an inherent fault?

I have been driving for 23 years and have never had a handbrake problem, I certainly know how to apply a handbrake. If I pull my handbrake up too high it makes a strange click sound and then drops straight down in my hand. The three times I have pulled it up and it has dropped down seconds later I believe is when it has been pulled too high up, if I pull it up a small way it is fine.
