Whilst I've had both HFT and fuel cap issues - both have been fixed...
Might it be worth an option for 'none' and / or 'some but now fixed'? |

Hi Sco77Harris
My main problem on delivery was the poor standard of trim condition. I ended up having to clean parts of the dashboard because it had some sort of glue on it. Also the plastic above the instrument binacle had an embeded mark on it which I tried to make a warranty claim but Honda wouldn't agree. So I polished it out myself. |

My fuel cap will be fixed next week. While the car is cold (2-3 min after start in the morning) some instrument panel may rattle a bit when i pass some VERY bad tram tracks. No rattles a couple of minutes later when the car start to warm up though.

ok so far we have 20 quite prominent faults, some of which are still unsolved, the matter is that even on early models the shear number of faults is unacceptable
p.s keep up the input the more people we have the bigger the fuss we can make and hopefully gain some good - at least a free service for all Last edited by sco77harris; 25th April 2007 at 13:29. |

as it happens i think my new one is reasonable solid, maybe the odd piece of trim that is unpleasing but compared to my old one, a massive improvement, but people shouldnt have to buy a new one to solve their issues |

Can I just clarify though please?
Obviosuly a lot of people have ticked the 'fuel cap' box. and certainly while I had that particular problem, it was a pain. But now that there is a (pretty much) widely available and official fix, should we be ticking it if we have had the work done? It just seems like it might be a bit of a waste if the article goes out with a list of faults, and Honda reply with "a fix for the biggest problem - sticking fuel cap - has been available for several months"... |

Boxes ticked, plus
creaking floorpan required welding, weak pressure in tailgate struts when cold, misaligned door, occasionally difficult to start. Worst are the shear number of rattles, pops, creaks, resonances, etc. |

i know the fuel cap has been fixed but lets face it, it must be the most obscene fault to have and they took their time fixing it the best was probably about a magazine someone mentioned where the brake snapped off lol Last edited by sco77harris; 25th April 2007 at 16:12. |

As far as I know Charles that indicates that it has not identified you have the brake pedal pressed ? quote from Kremmen

You people (and this thread) scare me. I haven't had a single problem (which isn't that strange, been driving it for just 3 weeks). But I sure hope it stays that way. I hate driving back to the dealer for anything else then servicing or picking up an S2000, New NSX or CTR-R.
I love my car too much. She won't give my any problems |

10 have 'no problems' 45 have said 'fuel cap' - which can be easily fixed (though agree that it shouldn't need fixing) 26 - shock absorbers. Though we don't know if this is current, or due to a whole shed load of them being fitted upside down on a lot of Civics 25 - scratched dash / trim. Fair comment really. Mine (personally) isn't, but agree that it appears too easy to do so 18 - noises from trim and air con 10 - poor paint and then we're (currently) into single figures. won't comment any further till we get some more numbers in |
