problem #2

2007Jul 16

Civic LX Non Vtec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

The problem was that I wasn't able to open the front passengers side window either from my (the main) control or the passenger control. According to people that had similar problems it was caused by water entering the main switch. Most likely to occur to smokers that drive with the window cracked regardless of weather. I guess it seemed reasonable to me. I don't remember why I had Honda fix it instead of doing it myself and saving a ton of money. They really, really ripped me off on this one, not to mention they took apart my passenger door after I told them I knew what the problem was. I even asked them to test the main switch first in an effort to avoid taking apart my passenger door. I used to regret not going with the sunroof but am now glad I didn't as it would have probably broken by now. I would like the armrest though....damn car giving me back problems.

Had the master power window switch replaced only for the problems to continue and for me to spend more money on it. This really sucks
