Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brakes never worked right, felt like not stopping quick enough, had replaced 3 or 4 times since 2001, but to this day, when stopping suddenly with brake pedal fully to floor, car doesn't want to stop & is scary. was rear ended,radio & speakers quit working, replaced & alarm quit working, had to have it completely removed & had damaged fly wheel. alarm malfunction was causing car to run in "safe mode" and car was using too much gas. the gas indicator is not accurate, and slow to adjust to empty or full levels, even when in perfect weather. even now i am certain that i do not get good gas mileage in city or highway driving & feel this car is vastly overrated in every way! srs indicator light is always on for 3 years now, red in color, i never knew this was a problem before reading bulletins ( but do now). right front window was slow to roll down for months, then wouldn't roll up in cold weather, and now won't work at all regardless of weather conditions. is stuck, and where i thought it might be a simple fuse issue, now we're finding out it will be a $600 window motor issue. not a very happy honda customer right now. ironically, i bought this civic because of a prior positive experience owning a honda crx, which was wonderful. this honda civic 2001 has changed the way i view honda's in general, unfortunately. *jb
