Honda Civic Si Problems

Plugged Moon Roof Drains May Cause Water Leak

Honda Recalls 2003–2004 Vehicles Due to Defective Ignition Switch

Body, Interior & Misc., October 7, 2010

RepairPal Expert Overview:

Honda is recalling 2003 Accord and Civic, and 2003–2004 Element models due to a defective interlock lever in the ignition switch. The lever may deform, which will defeat the interlock function on vehicles with an automatic transmission. This may cause a vehicle that has not been shifted into the "Park" position to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will remove the interlock pin and lever and replace them with new components, free of charge.
