And my two front windows will not go down in the EX. The back windows will but the front ones struggle and get stuck. It's like the motors aren't powerful enough. I've never experienced this before! Not happy. /rant

How cold is it where you are tonight?
 
Might want to spray lube the runners(where the side of the windows stay while moving up/down).
I'd find a dry type graphite spray, put the window down, and tape the edges so you don't get the spray any where else(makes window cleaning difficult for a while, if you get that stuff on the other glass. Spray the track all 3 edges.
I use to do this with my manual windows on my old Jeep.
 
It wouldn't hurt to try. The cars a month and a half old so I thought about calling Honda. But then again what would they do about it. Thanks monk
 
It's getting to -5 Celcius in Canada during the mornings and everything is fine. If I were you I would go to my dealer about it, doesn't seem right.
 
Car didn't wana start just now. This is a deeper issue. Will definitely be calling honda in a few hours!
 
Was the glass frozen (stuck) to the rubber seal?

Sometimes when this can happen, and nothing can be done until the car warms up enough. :(

Last winter our Si Sedan had no issues with the windows when we had snow and ice with nighttime lows in single digits.
Admittedly we didn't lower them very often, just to pay tolls and such and the car would have been warmed up by then.
More likely a battery or ground issue - it's new and under 3 year warranty, take it back to the dealer.
 
Has anyone else had their tire pressure monitor go off when its really cold out (less than 30 outside)? Mine did last week and I almost thought my tire was going flat.
 
It's 27 psi that sets it off.
 
Oh I read the post wrong,I though you meant the tpms
 
Oh no it was literally my Tire pressure light, but yeah 27 psi is right I believe for tpms
 
Mine went on as well but hot temps (60) one day and cold temps the next night (30) will do that. At least that's my experience.
 
Yep thats exactly what happened to me...it was 65 then 25 overnight here in tn. I assume the air in the tire was just really cold and shrunk

Yes, right before I got my new wheels & tires, it was cold at night & I woke to a TPMS light. Took it to Honda and they filled the tires up. They said its cold air causing the air in the tires to contract, common around this time of year apparently.
 
Just got off the phone with honda. Since this has only happened once they don't want me to bring it in. Then I mentioned that I'm averaging less than 30mpg on a civic ex auto trans. She told me to drop the car off and they'd look at it. I asked if they'd cover a rental since they're an hour away from me. Nope. I'm not taking the car in I guess. Every issue I had with my vw (and there were many!) my rental was covered. What am I missing??

I think the way my warranty is worded is that they will cover a rental if they have to keep the car for longer than a day. Otherwise, the dealer that I go to has daily rentals which they charge $20 for.

probably 6+ users have had their batteries replaced... I'd have it looked at. The users had theirs swapped by honda for free

Yea I feel like it's not getting the power it needs. I'll try my luck with a different dealership though!
