Replying to: sandman46 (Jan 20, 2009 3:15 pm) I also have an 09 civic ex with intermittent starting problem. once or twice a week it does not start on 1st attempt. 2nd attempt always works. Not a fan of intermittent problems. btw - it always starts when it is warm....

I don't have a copy of it unfortunately but I think if you do a google search, it should pop up for ya. My tires seem to be wearing much better so I'm pleased. never ever had a starting problem with my Civic, thank G-d! Drives great and my oil minder is at 30% with 19.8k on the odometer. Probably will wait till I hit 21k to do the next oil & filter swap. Probably will stick with the synthetic blend instead of the full synthetic, as my mileage per year is around 7k. Still a great little car.   The Sandman

Replying to: Liz4891 (Jan 20, 2009 9:34 am) If the tint on the rear window of your civic is a metalising tint, it can interfere with radio reception. We found this problem with our civic, and had the tint removed, greatly increasing the quality of the radio reception.

#203 of 232 Shifter Lever by wnkk May 15, 2009 (5:05 am)
I have a strange question. I have a 2008 Civic Automatic with 3500 miles on it. No problems so far other than I have noticed the AC does take a while to get cold and the heater also is slower to warm than I like. Also, in very cold weather (which doesn't happen much here in Washington) the windshield or dash made lots of crackling noise until it warms up.   Anyway, my question is on two separate occasions when I went to shift the car into park to get out the shifter knob and shifter shaft were very warm to touch. Is this normal? Replies to this message: bearblack (May 16, 2009 2:03 pm)

Replying to: wnkk (May 15, 2009 5:05 am) Well get used to a lot of problems and recalls, like your front wheels (axel lube recall) falling off. Your door handle (inside) breaking, your windshield wipers not working on intermittent position. (recall) Your engine block cracking. (check out the blogs, lots of them) your bolts backing out of the fan pully, recall, and fatal to the radiator if they do come loose. Interior sun visors (this is a good one) being replaced multi times, seems Honda can't make enough replacements. Honda, try fixing the problem, instead of just replacing them. Your broken (or missing) transmission bolts, recall. The list goes on man! These are just some of the problems incurred in 24,000 miles. Better check your recall list!
#205 of 232 Warranty Work by sandman_6472 May 17, 2009 (1:19 pm)
Besides some warranty issues, car has been great, no interior piece failure or any other problem to date. And most importantly, the car has never left us stranded. Agree the warranty issues were a royal pain but am truly happy with the car overall. One thing though...don't buy a 1st year car. Broke my own rule and won't do it again!   The Sandman

#207 of 232 Door issue by wnkk May 17, 2009 (2:14 pm)
Oops didn't mean to hit Ok yet. So no sooner do I just figure the heat was from a very hot day with the sun just hitting the shifter right but today my daughter gets in and the passenger door makes this horrible noise when she opens it and we look and the door is flush at the top but off about a half inch or inch on the bottom front so it is rubbing the surrounding area. Wierd!   So I guess I will take it in this week for the first time. I have had it (3500 miles) 9 months but only drive a few miles to work and it has never had its first oil change so I guess we'll knock out two birds at once.   Haven't had any real issues yet besides this door thing. Been happy with it so hope it lasts a long time.
