2000 Honda Civic problems
The Honda Civic (Japanese: ホンダ・シビック, Hepburn: Honda Shibikku) is a series of automobiles manufactured by Honda since 1972. As of 2023, the Civic is positioned between the Honda Fit/City and Honda Accord in Honda's global car line-up.
The first-generation Civic was introduced in July 1972 as a two-door fastback sedan, followed by a three-door hatchback that September. With a 1,169 cc transverse engine and front-wheel drive like the British Mini, the car provided good interior space despite overall small dimensions. Initially gaining a reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, later iterations have become known for performance and sportiness, especially the Civic Type R, Civic VTi, Civic GTi and Civic SiR/Si.
The Civic has been repeatedly rebadged for international markets, and served as the basis for the Honda CR-X, the Honda CR-X del Sol, the Concerto, the first generation Prelude, the Civic Shuttle (later to become the Orthia) and the CR-V (which, by extension, was used as the basis for the Honda FR-V).
The Civic is one of the all-time best-selling automobiles in the world, with over 27 million units sold since 1972 as of 2021.

AIR BAGS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-05-05
- VIN: 1HGEJ8144YL
- Components: AIR BAGS
- Summary: SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY CAR WAS RECALLED. BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S HISTORY, THE AIR BAG INFLATOR IS MORE LIKELY THAN AVERAGE TO KILL ME IF IT ACTIVATES (EXPLODES). THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA (THERE ARE SEVERAL) CANNOT OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS...NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM...FOR 18 TO 24 MONTHS. THIS DELAY IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES AND THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. MY CAR IS NOT DESIGNED TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIR BAGS. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE EXPLODER DISABLED UNTIL REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS IN MY AREA WILL DO THIS, WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE NHTSA. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FINS A WAY TO ASK THE NHTSA TO SEND ME A WRITTEN DEACTIVATION AUTHORIZATION. ALSO...THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NEED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW THIS (DISABLING THE BOMB IN MY STEERING WHEEL) CAN BE DONE WITHOUT AFFECTING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CAR. I WOULD NEED APPROVED DIRECTIONS FROM THE NHTSA TO GIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANICS. ALTERNATELY, I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ACTIVE, DEADLY, EXPLOSIVE DEVICE...FOR THE NEXT 18 TO 24 MONTHS. *TR

Changing the oil every 3,000 miles without fail and doing other maintenance has kept my Civic running beautifully. I drive 100 miles round trip every day to work and I'm happy to report that I'm still getting 40 MPG! I recently received an email for an update and was pleasantly surprised to see that my car has now reached 350K miles and is still running great!
-
Hi there! I noticed that you're a daily commuter driving 125 miles to and from work. That's quite a distance! I'm impressed that your Civic LX has over 130K miles on it and still runs so well. It's great to hear that you're getting an average of 36-37 mpg (mostly highway). Thanks for sharing your secret with me - using Mobil 1 5w30 and Mobil 1 oil filter, as well as Shell gasoline, seems to be working wonders for your car's fuel efficiency. I totally agree that the Civic LX is an amazing car - it's smooth, agile, and looks great, all at an affordable price. I hope you enjoy your next car purchase, the 2006 model sounds like a great choice!

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore my 2000 Civic VP. It gives me everything I need and more! All I have to do is put gas in it and change the oil, and I'm good to go. I've never had a single problem with it. As you probably know, Honda makes really great cars.

This car has been pretty trouble-free overall. I did have to replace the exhaust manifold and oxygen sensor, which cost around $200, but it was worth it for the significant improvement in fuel efficiency. Before the replacements, I was only getting around 28 mpg, but now I'm getting an impressive 37 mpg on the highway. The car's small engine means it doesn't accelerate very quickly, but it's still decent. The gas pedal is quite sensitive due to the special fuel injection system. While the seats are a bit stiff and uncomfortable, I was able to improve them by purchasing some padding.
-
I upgraded to this car from my 1996 hatch and it was a great decision. The car has more power and the addition of power steering makes it even better. While the car won't throw you back in your seat (except maybe at the higher end of first gear), it's a nice change from the lower end models with only 106 hp. I've had no issues with the car, except for the alignment of my driver's side window motor which was an easy fix. The other problem was that the exhaust pipe rusted through, but this was also a problem on my other Honda. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this car to anyone looking for an upgrade.

Are you having problems with your 2000 Honda Civic?
Mustafa Abernathy 2024-11-15
At 106k miles and 6 years later, I experienced an issue with the catalytic converter, which is a common problem for Honda cars. Although it cost me around $1000 to fix, I was able to resolve the issue along with other minor repairs. While the left speaker stopped working after my warranty expired, the car's interior did rattle and squeak when hitting bumps on the road. However, it's worth noting that my family's truck has driven 280k miles without any mechanical problems, except for the CD player not working. Overall, Honda's quality may not be what it used to be, but I was able to address the issues with my car confidently and effectively.
