The brakes squeak when coming to a stop. This is due to the racing nature of the really powerful and fade-free brakes. They also leave a good bit of brake dust on the wheel rims. After discussing it with some other Type R owners, I decided to leave them be for now at least. When they are worn out, I may switch over to less aggressive pads to quiet the squeaks. Otherwise the car drives fantastically well. Snow tires have made the handling predictably a little less responsive during cornering, but so far no problem at all with traction on snow.

Hope this is labeled correctly? Not exactly a repair, but at the time worrisome to me. Civic's very sensitive tire pressure sensors flashed "check tire pressure". I did. Less than 1 lb. difference. But prior to resetting the system, I used radio without motor on. Upon restarting vehicle, ALL the dashboard lights flashing "recheck ABS", "recheck TPNS", "Recheck Brakes", etc. over and over! Very startling display, frightening, as if car falling apart. Computer check at repair shop revealed no problems with vehicle. Internet reports this story with Honda Civics, perhaps other models? All systems reset, no charge. But I don't need my vehicle to be this sensitive!! Honestly.

Battery has been sluggish to start in the cold weather, so I had the battery checked by Auto Zone, who said it was fine. When left more than a couple days without starting, it cranked even slower. After leaving town for a week, the car had to be jumped to start. Did self-diagnosis of parasitic draw using ammeter and checked voltage drop over each fuse using voltmeter. Couldn't identify source of draw so I had dealer check it while it was in for routine service. I'm not sure how much time they spent in diagnosing (they didn't charge me anything), but they said they would need at least 2 hours of time (at $115/hr) to do further troubleshooting. I decided to live with it for now, since it still starts in the morning, even with sub-zero temperatures.

An information warning came on that said "Tighten Fuel Cap." It had been at least a week since the last fill-up. I shut off the engine, removed the fuel cap and then put it back on, twisting it to hear the recommended three clicks. After starting and stopping the engine, and running a few errands, I brought it into the dealer with 19 miles left on the original warranty. The assistant service manager ran diagnostics which said Evaporative Leak and then cleared the warning. He said to drive it 100 miles and see if the warning returns. I asked for written verification that I had visited for the problem but he said running diagnostics and resetting the warning would not require a service department invoice. If this comes up after 19 miles, I'll be out of warranty.

Clutch groans intermittently when moving off in first gear. It sounds like a dry/worn throw out bearing, however, the symptoms suggest something else - the noise only occurs when the clutch is being slipped. Holding down the clutch pedal produces no sound.

Flapping noise under the front passenger seat. This issue goes back to the first months of purchase.of the car and since the noise was unpredictable and hard to replicate no one could ever discover its provenance. I had to bear it for over 3 years until I noticed that it was actually coming from under the passenger seat itself. It would stop once the cushion is hard pressed. The dealership fix did not solve the issue at all.

This make/model is known for abnormal rear tire wear, our's had the problem. You get cupping that causes the rear tires to get really loud when driving - like you have knobby tires mounted - the tone varies with speed. The shop adjusted the alignment to compensate for the issue. Two tire pressure sensors went bad, which causes the "check TPMS" light to go on. In this car that completely interferes with traction control, making winter driving pretty awful.

The problem was a p0456. That could be a lot of different things, including a gas cap leaking air. (It could also be a leak anywhere in the fuel system.) I bought a new OEM gas cap, as I'd been told that gas caps account for 90% of check engine lights with this number. Either it did not solve the problem, or I will have to disconnect the battery to see if it does, and I haven't done that yet.

This would be replaced when water pump pulley recall is done. Parts were ordered. Drive belt and water pump pulley, the recall-related parts ordered per previous trip, were replaced. Water pump and gasket were replaced pursuant to a factory recall at no cost to me. I didn't get a recall notice, but maybe first owner got it before I bought the vehicle used in April 2009. The recall seems to have eliminated the 1400 rpm buzz also.

Looking at engine, right side of camshaft there is a round cover about 1.5" diameter. The o-ring dried and cracked after 14 years of driving and leaked oil onto transmission and down onto driveway, about 1/8 quart per week. Only leaked when engine was running. Wiring manifold from computer to sensors is right next to it and there is no slack so moving it out of the way was difficult. Disconnecting the wires from sensors was more difficult to get to so I didn't do that, only disconnected the ones I could easily see and get to.

Poor heat on cool mornings drove me to flush and fill the radiator using typical off-the-shelf chemicals. During that effort I discovered that the overflow bottle had contacted the serpentine belt system and had a hole worn in it. This caused the car to lose enough fluid that the heating performance suffered. I took it out, patched it with fiberglass mesh and adhesive, reinstalled, finished the flush-and-fill, and thereby solved the problem. Flush-and-fill probably not necessary.
