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.

After turning on heater/defroster to remove frost, followed by windshield wiper to remove slush, windshield suddenly began to crack. The crack began on the passenger side at the vertical windshield frame and went continuously across the outer layer of the windshield to about 4" from the vertical frame on the driver side.

The windshield developed a crack starting at the post on the drivers side of the vehicle. The dealer insisted that a rock must have caused it and so it was not covered by the warranty. However, as the only dirver of the vehicle I believe I would have noticed a rock hitting the windshield.

Windshield cracked for no apparent reason less than 1 month after purchase. My other complaint is that Honda (according to the dealer) has no repair parts available. It has been 2 1/2 months now!
