2001 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.

I TRIED THE NUMBER WHERE YOU TEXT THE RECALL COORDINATORS? BUT THEY REPLIED THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY WAITED 10 MINS. POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. I TRIED WITH THEM A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AGAIN NO RESPONSE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE COMMON COURTESY OF A CALLBACK OR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS MAKING AN APPOINTMENT? THIS IS WHY I QUIT ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED SOME YEARS AGO, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER A PRIORITY APPARENTLY. NOW THAT I'M ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE IGNORED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT POHANKA, SO THAT I CAN MOVE ON. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH BEING PLACATED ABOUT "PARTS AVAILABILITY" OR "JUST WAIT FOR A CALL BACK" WHEN WAITING FOR A COURTEOUS REPLY IS ALL I NEED. BOTTOM LINE: I CAN'T GET MY AIRBAG RECALL DONE AT POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY IF THEY WON'T EVER REACH BACK OUT TO ME. I ATTEMPTED A FOLLOWUP QUESTION TOADAY AND WAS GIVEN A RUNAROUND PHONE NUMBER. WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU ALL OF MY VIN AND RECALL NUMBERS AND THEN HEAR NOTHING AGAIN? I'M EXTRAORDINARILY UPSET ABOUT BEING RELEGATED TO THE BACK OF THE LIST EVERY TIME. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NOBODY I'VE SPOKEN TO GIVES A [XXX] ABOUT GETTING THIS DONE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HOPING THIS ACTUALLY MERITS A RESPONSE BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO WASH MY HANDS OF THIS WHOLE RECALL DUE TO THE ABYSMAL HANDLING OF SUCH A SIMPLE TASK. THEN IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE NEW OWNER BECAUSE THESE DEALERS DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO ANY "FREE" WORK IT SEEMS. DISAPPOINTED, UPSET AND WOULD RATHER DRIVE A DEATHTRAP THAN DEAL WITH ANY OF THESE USELESS REPRESENTATIVES.
