Honda Civic problems reported in California

4,062 of the 20,273 complaints filed about the Honda Civic came from California, most often about the airbags.

Bigger states file more complaints simply for having more drivers. What is worth reading here is the mix — a part that fails in heat, cold or road salt shows up in some states long before others.
