CarComplaints.com Notes: Haven't we all owned one of these things at some point? Despite being a popular first car for teenage drivers and, as a result, being beat up like no other, the late 90's Civic is a true endurance car. And it still gets better gas mileage than more modern cars.

The paint on my 1999 Honda Civic along with all other cars alike the green paint and the clear coat separate causing bubbles in the paint and peeling. This is affecting all green Civics of this year leading to the assumption that it is a factory defect.

problem #6

Civic 4-cyl

  • 30,900 miles
Mouse infestation of '99 Honda covic. Purchased car in July 1999, found mouse evidence within two months, caught mouse with trap. Found more evidence summer 2003, set traps and caught 10-12 mice. Took car into dealer for 30,000 maintenance and to fix heater (which was plugged with something). Dealer shop removed three more mice from air intake/heater motor area. With hantivirus from mice droppings a real threat in the pacific northwest, safety is an issue. The car was never left open when parked. Dealer claimed to have found glass in car and suspected us of breaking glass and leaving car exposed to outside critters.not true, the mice are entering by some entrance "not located by Honda dealer". repairman told wife that he had seen "lot's of mice infestations", but changed his story when his boss corrected him and gave him a dirty look. We suspect that the problem may be more widespread than Honda will admit.
