1992 Honda Civic Problems
The 1992 Honda Civic has had few complaints or problems over the years, but there have been 13 different recalls from the manufacturer primarily dealing with the exterior lighting, according to Car Complaints and Repair Pal. The other major recall on the 1992 Honda Civic has been on the transmission, but there have been some problems concerning other areas of the vehicle.
Warped Brake Rotors
One of the biggest problems with the 1992 Honda Civic has been the warping of the brake rotors. A Civic owner can determine if this is the problem easily because the car will vibrate when the brake pedal is applied. This problem with the Honda Civic has not been attributed to any one defect other than standard wear from the brake pads being pressed against the brake rotors. The rotors wear over time and can be easily repaired by shaving down the rotors until the brake rotors are smooth again. Overheating is another cause for the brake rotors to warp along with a misalignment of new brake shoes.
Sun Roof Leaking
Another common problem of the 1992 Honda Civic is that the sun roof begins to leak. The main cause of this leakage is from the drain plugs, which allow the water drain away from the sun roof, get clogged or plugged up from debris. A Civic owner easily can fix this problem by cleaning out the drain reservoirs located around the sun roof. The water begins to leak over the drivers side or front passenger side of the Civic and is not attributed to the seals around the sun roof.
Starting Problems
The 1992 Honda Civic has problems starting, according to MSN autos. This starting problem has been attributed to the distributor that controls the signals to the spark plugs or the main relay, which is part of the ignition system. This problem is not part of the recall of the 1992 Honda Civic, but many owners have developed this problem during the ownership of the Civic. According to MSN autos, this starting problem is categorized under critical problems.
