Hi I bought my car last month 2008 Honda civic EX automatic and it has about 700 miles on it. I am kind of not sure if this problem is normal or not, the problem I have is that when I am braking from higher speed to lower speed in slower motion where I am not pressing the pedal really fast, at the last gear or the first gear, where it gets lower than 25 miles my car kind of jerks before it slows down which gives me a feeling like I am switching a gear, just like in the manual transmission but my car is automatic transmission. Is this normal with this kind of car or should I take it to the dealership to get this fix or looked at. Thanks in advance for replying

| The AC works fine (often too cold) on my new Civic LX Auto in southeast Texas. | |
| I live in Florida and my A/C blows cold air. Then it starts this cycle of 10 seconds cold air and 2 seconds of warm air. It happens on high fan speed and on low fan speed, It happens at 30 mph and 70 mph on the highway. I drive it on MAX a/c not fresh air. I don't seem to have the problem after a stop. When I called American Honda they said they never heard of this problem. Has anyone had this problem fixed? | |

I haven't had any problems with my A/C this summer. I was a little concerned since there was posts regarding this in previous years. It's typically 107 in Vegas in the afternoons. I always use a sunshade in the front windshield while parked. I start driving for a few seconds with the windows down to clear out the stale area. Then I run the A/C on Max with no fresh air and it cools everything down nicely. |

One of my sunvisors became inoperable. The casing along the base of the visor bulged out and the plastic seam popped open and the visor would not return to the upright and locked position. Someone I knew with a 2007 Civic said this happened to them last summer. The glue used in the visor construction doesn't hold up well to extreme heat. I'm in Vegas and it is typically 107 in the afternoon. The dealership repaired the visor as a warranty repair today in 15 minutes. My service advisor said that they see this most commonly happen when people used their sunvisors to hold up a sunshade in the windshield. (Which I always do.) He said the visor was a poor design and there is more stress on the sunvisor mechanism in the down position, but that they would not tell me I could not use the sunvisor to hold up a sunshade, nor would they use that as an excuse not to replace future sunvisors as needed under the warranty. He did say, however, that there are "clips" that are sold that can be used to hold a sunshade in place instead of the sunvisor. I've never seen these, but I may check it out. |

I bought my Civic 5 days ago and have only been able to drive it one day. Stalled out the second day I had it and engine light came on, drove to dealership and they couldn't duplicate the problem. It stalled again the next day, engine light came on and it sputtered all the way back to the dealership. I really thought Honda was the car to buy, what a mistake. They're working on it, but the new car "high" I had, is gone. They have to replace an assembly? Is this the beginning of visiting dealerships during the whole life of my warranty? They've furnished me with a rental, but you'd think one day after you buy a car they want to make this good.  Has anyone else had this problem?
