CarComplaints.com Notes: Yes, the Honda Civic receives a lot of complaints because so many were sold. And sure, car parts only last so long and things eventually break. But it's never good to see this many transmission complaints, especially when the average mileage at failure is just north of 100,000 miles.

Especially when you consider that it's predecessor also has a nasty history with transmission complaints.

For no discernible reason the electrical system momentarily failed upon start up and then the SRS indicator light came on. This is the computer that controls the air bags and seat belts. I took it to the dealer and was charged $80 for a "diagnostic" - basically, they reboot the SRS computer and told me if it happens again I would have to buy a new computer at a minimum cost of $800 plus labor.
