The driver side window does not go up as fast as it used to. when it gets close to the top, it goes very slow. i suspect that this may be the modulator. at this current rate, my driver side window probably won't be operational by the end of this year. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda civic. the contact stated that when large amounts of morning dew were on the windshield and rear window, it was hard to remove. the failure only occurred on cold mornings. the contact used the windshield wipers, but the dew remained. the defroster would take a long time to activate and the interior glass would clear up, but the outside glass would remain fogged. the contact called honda care and took the vehicle to the dealer, but neither could correct the failure. the current and failure mileages were 42,000. updated 01-14-08. *kb the brakes made a noise when the consumer applied the brakes, the suspension felt rough. the dealer was unable to duplicate the consumer concerns. updated 12/12/07. *jb

After turning on heater/defroster to remove frost, followed by windshield wiper to remove slush, windshield suddenly began to crack. the crack began on the passenger side at the vertical windshield frame and went continuously across the outer layer of the windshield to about 4" from the vertical frame on the driver side. *nm

In the trunk of my car, there is water building up and i had the car up in the air and found no holes to where water could get in but they had found a seal on the rear window which is separating which we think might be the problem..but not sure...also there is water on the floor in the back seat of my car...i have a 2002 honda civic lx. *jb

The windshield developed a crack starting at the post on the drivers side of the vehicle. the dealer insisted that a rock must have caused it and so it was not covered by the warranty. however, as the only dirver of the vehicle i believe i would have noticed a rock hitting the windshield.*ak

Rodents are able to get into the ventilation system and plug up the defroster system. the faces are coming through the air vents when the air is turned on. this affects the capacity of the defroster system to function. neither dealership nor the manufacturer are providing any solution to the problem. *ak *sc

The middle seatbelt in the back does not work. i have taken it to the dealership and they could not get it to come out. if it is against the law if you don't have your seatbelt on why isn't it mandatory that they fix this problem? also when you turn the rear defroster on and have the heater on the radio does not work.*ak
