TSB 22-017 attached. This TSB applies to all 2020-2021 Civics with the 1.5T engine and manual transmission. There is NO warranty extension for this issue. SYMPTOM Customer complains that the manual transmission will not shift, the clutch is slipping, or the vehicle won’t move when in gear...

I wanted a GT, but I could only afford an SE back then. I've owned 32 cars so far and that '95 Probe was one of my favorites. All I have to remember it by are this crappy photo and a scan of the window sticker.

There's a TSB for this. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/tsb-22-013-for-2016-2020-coupe-trunk-spring-replacement.76317/

SYMPTOM The trunk spring breaks and will not hold the trunk lid in the upright position. POSSIBLE CAUSE There is fatigue in the material used in manufacturing of the trunk spring. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the trunk spring(s) with new part number(s) in the PARTS INFORMATION.

Honda doesn't service vehicles nor do they receive any portion of any labor charges including diagnostic fees - that's all your independently-owned dealer. Honda has no control over what dealers charge for automobiles, parts, or service.

Yep. Automakers and dealers have realized that they can make more money by selling fewer vehicles at higher prices. Expect leaner inventories and fewer discounts for the foreseeable future. I don't know if we'll ever see months' worth of inventory piled up on lots waiting for buyers and...

That didn't work for Dodge eight years ago.

Supply and demand. When demand > supply, prices rise. When supply > demand, prices fall. That's economics 101. Automakers and dealers are bringing in record profits. Automakers don't have to offer incentives. Dealers can sell at or above MSRP (which, by the way, stands for Manufacturer's...

I'm surprised at the level of wear/soil on the driver's armrest and center console for such low mileage.

For better or worse, automakers have virtually no control over this. In 2014, Dodge threatened to reduce allocation to dealers who marked up SRT Hellcats over MSRP in a similar move. Dealers quickly found a workaround by auctioning off the chance to buy an SRT Hellcat at MSRP. Dodge threw in the...

I can only imagine what dealers will ask for '22 CTR's. We're in a VERY different market now than we were when the '17 CTR was introduced.

^ This guy gets it.

Ashing for it?

Wheel hop is a function of suspension geometry among other mechanical things. The purpose of reprogramming the vehicle for wheel size is for the tire pressure monitoring system - it has to know which wheels are installed so it can use the correct peak resonance frequency to determine when a...

I can't speak for other brands, but Honda doesn't add dye. Here's their latest TSB on the subject which specifies which dye to add, if necessary. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10181077-0001.pdf

There's no dye in the system from the factory.

Because air conditioning is not required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and the manufacturer has no legal obligation to fix it after the warranty expires.

The oldest 2019 Civics aren't quite 3 years old yet (4 more months), but it's quite possible to have more than 36,000 miles. Also, the refrigerant charge is only guaranteed for 2 years or 24,000 miles (unless required as part of a covered repair).

Just to add another data point... According to Honda's records, the A/C failed in my 2017 Civic Si at around 55K miles (long after I traded it in).

I heard my name. :) Yes - the Si automatically rev matches for upshifts when the cruise control is engaged. The ECM gives you five seconds to complete the upshift while it holds the engine at the exact speed for the next higher gear else the cruise will cancel. Unlike the Type R, however, it...
