About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The rear sub-frame on my 2000 Honda Civic si has ripped on both sides. This is not just a problem I am having. I know of several other people having this very same problem. I do not race the car and all of the driving is done on road. Aside from an aftermarket clutch the vehicle is stock, no suspension work at all. The car comes with a 13mm rear sway bar as stock equipment. When I began hearing about people having problems with the sub frame ripping I purchased reinforcement plates and installed them in an effort to reduce the stress placed on the sub-frame. This is a major problem! this is structural failure! as soon as I noticed the problem I took the car to a frame shop and had it repaired at a cost of $500. The technican who fixed the vehicle told me he hoped this wouldn't happen again but without a stronger sub frame he saw no reason that this wouldn't happen again. This obviously presents a serious safety issue.
