I bought this vehicle and then found out there are $3000 minimum issues with the vehicle. Including replacing the transmission because of the defective torque converter, the airbags aren't working properly, the rear window won't roll down. Also, the evaporation sensor and canister need to be replaced and I cannot find the right part to replace it. The SRS light is on because of the seatbelt issue, the check engine light is on because of the transmission problem from the torque converter and the cruise control doesn't work even though the lights say that it is engaging.

I received a notice in 2010 regarding an airbag safety recall for my car. I called a local Honda dealership on June 25, 2010 to schedule an appointment. However, I was never called back. I was told that the parts would be ordered and it would take 1-2 days to receive and once the parts were received, I would be contacted to schedule an appointment then. I never received the call again and I assumed it may have taken longer for the parts to be received so I had waited longer. I received the same recall notice again this year and suddenly remembered that I had tried to schedule the appointment since last year. It has obviously been more than 60 days since I had first contacted the dealer for an appointment.

SRS light came on in July 2010, I took it in to my local mechanic to take a look. The computer code said it was a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly so they ordered the part and replaced it. A few weeks later the SRS light came back on. I took it back to my mechanic and they said it was likely the whole SRS unit that is bad because they could not get the computer code to clear. The mechanic suggested I take it to the Honda dealer to get it fixed since it is a safety issue and should be covered under warranty. I took it to a Honda dealer but was told it would not be covered under warranty, regardless of the issue. I contacted Honda America Corp and they explained that only the seatbelts are covered under an extended warranty and that the supplemental restraint system is not covered, as it is an additional safety feature. I have no working airbags now and Honda will not fix this, despite there being recalls for the same issue on other 2001 Civics
