2004 Honda Civic electrical system problems

“DRIVER SIDE SEAR BELT DOES NOT RETRACT. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE BY THE DEALER. FRONT MUD FLAPS ARE TO LOW AND ARE DAMAGES AND NEED REPLACING. ELECTRIC PLUG SOCKET DOES NOT WORK (LIGHTER AND CELL PHONE)”

“MY 04 CIVIC WIRING ALMOST SET MY CAR COMPLETELY ON FIRE. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL HARNESSES WHERE MELTED THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING STARTED BLOWING SMOKE OUT OF THE AIR VENTS, I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS THICK WITH SMOKE. THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD AND INSIDE THE CAR ALL THE WAY TO THE TRUNK WERE ALL MELTED. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE ELETRICAL AND SENSORS IN THE WHOLE CAR. IT COST OVER $3100. TO REPLACE EVERYTHING, THE CAR SOMTIMES WONT START AND THE COMPUTER HAS TO BE RESET TO START ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOW ON., THE DEALER SAID EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ON THE CAR MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED, COMPUTER ETC. BUT IT WILL COST ABOUT $4000+ DOLLARS AND ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT., 2004 HONDA CIVICS ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE., DRIVING HONDA CIVICS ARE DANGEROUS AND NO ONE SHOULD BUY THEM.”

“MY KEY WOULD COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE NOT IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT FULLY GO INTO PARK UNLESS FORCEFULLY PULLED BACK INTO PARK SO SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T BE IN PARK ALL NIGHT OR WHILE IN PUBLIC PARKING LOTS. MY HONDA MADE KEY HAD TO GO INTO THE IGNITION FACING PERFECTLY ONE WAY TO START THE CAR THEN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY REFUSED THE KEY AND WOULDN'T TURN ONCE IT ACCEPTED IT. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION THE CAR, IN A PUBLIC GAS STATION PARKING LOT, WAS NOT EVEN IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I WAS COMPLETELY ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY IGNITION NO LONGER TURNS AT ALL, I'VE ALREADY CHECKED THAT THE CHIP IN MY KEY IS STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. POLICE OFFICERS TRIED TO HELP ME CORRECT THE ISSUE WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOW ALSO ACTING UP SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE RADIO FLASHES INSTEAD OF STAYING ON, I AM NOW UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIME ON THE RADIO CLOCK AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO SHUT OFF.”
