Soooo......after waiting 3 months for a new BCM (original problem was all of my lights and in-dash gauges flickering on and off randomly) my wonderful dealership calls to say "Hey, we got the BCM installed but your VSA modulator is also bad. We went ahead and swapped it since we had one on the...
Thanks all for the replies. So, dealer confirmed it's the BCM. Trying to find one now but it's not looking good.
Here's my question for any mechanics in here. Is the car relatively safe to drive with a BCM on the fritz? If all the BCM controls are lights and instrumentation I could always...
My 2017 Civic just started having electrical issues. The car was automatically going into accessory mode when it's sitting in the garage or parked. My mechanic (non-dealer) said it's the Body Control Module and they're apparently on nationwide backorder at the moment.
Anyone else heard of...
After lurking in here for 2 years I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a ktuner. I'm not really a tinkerer or a gear head. I don't foresee creating any custom maps or anything...I just want a little more pep out of my 2017 EX-T. I assume I'm going to load up a tune and then leave...
I would definitely go back to the dealer and make them fix/replace that underbody shield. I did that exact same thing when I changed the oil myself (nobody to blame but me). I searched for a new one and that part is over $100+ because you have to buy the entire underbody kit to get that...
This is why people, in general, don't trust mechanics and assume they're getting ripped off all the time. The general population isn't familiar with cars or engines, which is why we take it to someone to get worked on. When I take my car to the dealer or an independent shop to get worked on...
Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I needed. Sounds like Honda will try to get out of the warranty anyways....so no reason not to go ahead and K-Tune!
Do you have to get it done at a dealership? Or could I keep receipts to prove that I either did it myself or had another shop to do it. I just detest the dealership. Preventative maintenance to keep your warranty intact just seems like a way to force you to spend thousands with them over a...
This reminds me of something that happened a few years back. I took my 2000 Accord into my local shop for some work. I needed tires too but didn't have the money to do all the work at once. The body shop accidentally drove into a safety pole outside the garage and dented in the bumper. Not...
Thanks gtman. That's a reasonable, measured opinion that I can't argue with. My 2000 manual Accord was built in Japan. We'll see how my 2017 Civic is holding up in 2035 :). My guess is that you're right, and it won't hold up as well as my 2000 Japan-built Accord.
I guess my irritation is...
So, for all of you that are bemoaning the "lack of quality" and Honda "cutting corners to save money"...does that mean you'd happily pay more to get these problems fixed? What if the base Civic started at $24k rather than $19k? The NA automobile market is super competitive. If Honda is indeed...
I've seen a lot of threads in here lately from people belly-aching about the supposed lapse in quality from Honda. Maybe this is just a case of the (very) vocal minority out-representing the silent majority. I for one am very happy with my 2017 EX-T. Is it perfect? No. But it's pretty damn...
So...
I'm slowly replacing all of the interior fabric pieces with OEM leather (center flip-up console piece, slim side console pieces, arm rests, etc). They all fit perfect and snap in pretty easily. The one piece i'm having a problem finding is the large fabric insert on the two front door...
OK, I've searched the forums and couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone know where I can find black floor mats with either "Honda" or "Civic" on them? I just ordered these from Amazon because some of the pictures people posted showed "Civic" on them....but mine came with the...
