Critical Deferred Risk
Critical deferred failure risk — 3 safety-critical or high-cost components are past their service interval. Without immediate attention, repair costs will compound significantly.
No odometer data on record. Mileage is estimated at ~96,000 mi based on average annual driving. Items marked EST. OVERDUE may already be due — verify service history with the seller. Items marked OVERDUE are confirmed past-due based on vehicle age alone.
DUE SOONCriticalTiming Chain Tensioner
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~96,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Timing Chain Tensioner service before 120,000 mi
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
EST. OVERDUECriticalWater Pump
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 8 yr · Past due by age
Service Water Pump immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
EST. OVERDUEHighTransmission Fluid / Service
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 8 yr · Past due by age
Service Transmission Fluid / Service immediately — already past the 60,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
EST. OVERDUEHighCoolant Flush
Service interval: 5 yr · Vehicle age: 8 yr · Past due by age
Service Coolant Flush immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 5 yr interval
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
EST. OVERDUEModerateSpark Plugs (iridium/platinum)
Service interval: 8 yr · Vehicle age: 8 yr · Past due by age
Service Spark Plugs (iridium/platinum) immediately — already past the 100,000 mi / 8 yr interval
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
DUE SOONModerateFuel Injectors
Service interval: 120,000 mi · Est. ~96,000 mi (no odometer on record)
Schedule Fuel Injectors service before 120,000 mi
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

ODI #11678465STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The electric power steering (EPS) system failed/malfunctioned this past week. When going over 35 mph my steering wheel would become "knotchy/jerky" and lock up and be difficult to turn. As a result, I took it to Honda to which they stated my whole rack and pinion needed total replacement. No warning signs, messages, icons, or lights came on in my car.

Rack and Pinion steering failure. Sticking, hard to make wheel adjustments. loss of steering control. issue confirmed but Honda Dealership. Honda Dealership contacted Honda North America and was rejected as warranty issue. repair will exceed $7500. This issue corresponded with the fuel Pump recall and failure of the AC system which were covered under warranty recall. Due the High volume of failures of R & P for these Honda civics locating replacement parts is difficult if not impossible.

ODI #11674936STEERING

My complaint is similar to most of the other ones shown here. Notchy steering. I took it to the dealer. They told me that the steering rack was bad and needed to be replaced. How much? $6500! The car has under 30,000 miles on it. Got to give the service rep credit. He asked me if I wanted them to contact American Honda. I said heck yes. While they were making their decision, which took about 2 weeks, I came here and looked at all of the other similar complaints. The dealer told me that Honda would cover 100% of the replacement cost. They ordered the parts and the replacement was completed last week. Although this was resolved to my satisfaction, it's another incident for the record, and it demonstrates that the problem showed up as early as under 30,000 miles.

ODI #11675081STEERING

The steering wheel becomes sticky and stiff. There is also a clicking noise when I try to center it. It is difficult to keep the car within my lane of traffic. There is presently 38,565 miles on this vehicle. I keep up with required maintenance. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the dealership. There is a Safety Recall for 2017-18 civic: steering box . My VIN number is not included on this recall. I understand repair to the steering is close to 4,000.00. No warning lights are on the dashboard.....yet. My understanding is this problem only becomes worse in time. This constant swerving and erratic steering is not only tiresome I believe it can become dangerous.

ODI #11673496STEERING

ODI #11672561STEERING

We purchased the vehicle in Jan 2025. As the weather or the car warmed the steering gets stiff and hard to maneuver, making it difficult to stay in the center of the lane. There are times when it gets so bad I think a cop could pull me over for swerving. As I researched the symptoms I found that recall SB18-102 matched the symptoms and was for the same year, make, and model; however, my car’s VIN wasn’t included. I took the vehicle to a local Honda dealership on 6/16/25 who confirmed it was a power steering box failure and gave an estimate of $3,990.46 to fix it. That same day I called Honda customer care and submitted a case to try to get the costs covered due to their being a recall out on the same year, make, and model and issue as mine. They advised me to go back to the dealership and request my car be submitted for Honda’s Goodfaith assistance. I requested this on 7/9/25 and was told on 7/10/25 it was denied with no reasoning. The car has no warning signals however the issue persists. My fear is that it will lock up or not straighten up and I or my son (whom the car was purchased for) will run off the road or cause an accident. This is obviously a known issue but Honda is not taking ownership and declined to help with the cost, which is almost a third of the cost of the vehicle we paid.

ODI #11669881UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I own a 2018 Honda Civic that is subject to an open fuel pump recall. My vehicle suddenly became completely inoperable. When attempting to start the car, all of the dashboard lights come on, but the engine will not start or crank. The vehicle has power but will not turn over at all. This failure happened without any prior warning. I contacted Nalley Honda in Union City, GA, and they confirmed that the issue is related to the fuel pump recall. However, they refused to provide towing for the vehicle and told me the earliest appointment available would be over a week out, despite the vehicle being undrivable due to this known safety defect. This situation puts my safety and my family’s safety at risk, as I am now stranded without reliable transportation because of a manufacturer defect. The problem has been acknowledged by the dealership but has not been resolved because of their refusal to assist with towing or provide a timely repair. There were no warning lights or error messages prior to the failure—this happened suddenly. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue further, as it presents a serious safety concern. I also want to report that Honda has not provided towing assistance or a loaner vehicle while the safety recall repair is pending, which leaves me without any transportation.

Steering wheel sticks, creating an issue to keep vehicle driving in a straight line. Alignment is not out, having to bump the steering wheel back and forth to stay in lane. Feeling of "dropout" in the steering driving at higher rates of speed. No warning lights or other symptoms prior to the failure. Issue has continued since first noticed.

Several unknown dealers were contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

We started having trouble keeping it on the road. Then on the highway, at about 73, I thought the car was going to go off the road. The steering felt sticky, and It's awful trying to hold it straight. You can also feel it when car is parked. Once parked and in park, keep it running and just turn the steering wheel. The steering wheel jerks either direction we turn it. We took the car over to our garage, so they can look at it. We were told it had to with the steering rack. Something regarding a magnet inside the gear box. Our mechanic stated they could not even do the work. With a look online we found a safety recall that my car matches all information, except, the VIN number. So our local dealership can fix it, but the cost is crazy at about $4200. My Civic has 49,000 miles, and to pay that amount is foolish. My VIN number had to have been overlooked. I don't know anyway to fight this, except this website. This car has become very dangerous.

Honda issued a recall for the fuel pump system. Initially, when the recall came out, I contacted them about the recall they stated that the parts were on back order and they had a waiting list of people who were supposed to be serviced first. It took about five months for the parts to come back into stock and another month for me to get an appointment. Now I’m continuing to have issues with my fuel line

ODI #11665112STEERING

The steering system randomly but frequently has an issue where it “sticks” when going straight down the road, requiring excessive pressure to make minor adjustments to remain in the lane. This causes the car to jerk and the steering to “oversteer” while to trying to maintain the lane. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others are put at risk because the issue makes it difficult to remain in the lane while going down the road. When the wheel “sticks” it causes the car to jump/jerk abruptly and sometimes causes the car to leave the lane because of the excessive effort required to “get through” the sticking. This is EXTREMELY dangerous at highway speeds. I had another recall done on the car (fuel pump) and mentioned it to the service manager who noted on the invoice that they could feel the “sticking” feeling and recommended steering rack replacement to correct the issue. The car has not been inspected by Honda, the police or anybody else. There are no warning lamps or active fault codes. The issue was present when I purchased the car at around 80,000 miles and is still present at 123,000 miles. I also had a 2016 Honda Civic that had the same exact issue, starting at around 25,000 miles and lasting until I traded it in at around 80,000 miles. The dealer was never able to replicate the issue when I took the car in to have the issue corrected under warranty so they could never repair the issue. I’ve done intensive research on others having the same issue and there are a LOT of others having this same exact issue on the 10th generation (2015-2023) Honda Civic.

ODI #11665150STEERING

This has been an in going issue. While driving the steering sticks as you try to make small movements to get the car straight. This is especially noticeable at highway speeds and can cause you to over correct on the sticking releases. I have seen multiple reports of this issue in several different places with most stating that Honda has been unwilling to help. There was a recall on the newer models just recently but nothing for the 2018 Honda Civic. This is a very dangerous issue making driving the car safety risk. I had my independent shop state this seems to be a steering box issue that would cost over $4000 to fix with original Honda parts.

Driving at moderate speeds causes steering wheel to become sticky, notchy and stiff. Gets stuck to the left or right when turning. Causes car to go out of lanes and overall hard to adjust the wheel

ODI #11663730STEERING

Steering is notchy, when making a turn at highway speeds, the steering will lock in the position of the turn. Takes force to get it to free up and allow you to straighten out the wheels. It also causes the car to wander and is notchy in the 12 O'clock position. Feels like it is sticking, then releases. The issue becomes worse the longer the drive time is.

ODI #11662632STEERING

The steering constantly sticks in warmer weather. Have reported to the dealer several times and they can not replicate or have any idea what I'm referring to (even though its very well reported to be an issue/recall). It is scary to drive at times because you are forced to jerk the wheel just to get it to respond making you almost swerve.

My steering wheel was sticking. At speeds above 45 it was much more noticeable. When I was driving in a strait line and had to move the steering slightly the steering wheel would stick. It would cause the car to pull to one side and when you adjust the wheel to in the opposite side it would do the same thing. You where driving in a straight road constantly over correcting , playing ping pong to keep your car in the lane. When I looked on the internet this seems to be a common problem. I had my car looked at a Honda dealership. They told me there was no recall. My only choice was to get it repaired. It cost me 4,546.35 to be repaired.

1.Component or System Failure: •What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? •The air conditioning (AC) system in my 2018 Honda Civic has malfunctioned. Initially, the AC compressor failed and was replaced under warranty in 2018. However, the AC never functioned properly afterward. Recently, the AC failed completely, and the dealership diagnosed a leaking evaporator. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2.Safety Risk: •How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? •The malfunctioning AC system poses a significant safety risk, especially considering the high temperatures in the Central Valley of California. Driving without a functional AC in extreme heat can lead to driver fatigue, reduced concentration, and potential heat-related illnesses, increasing the risk of accidents. 3.Problem Reproduction: •Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? •Yes, the problem has been confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership. They diagnosed the issue as a leaking evaporator and provided a repair estimate of $2,520.16. 4.Inspection by Others: •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? •The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership, which diagnosed the issue. There have been no inspections by police or insurance representatives. 5.Warning Indicators: •Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? •There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the AC failure. The only symptom was the AC’s inability to cool the cabin effectively, which persisted since the initial compressor replacement in 2018 and culminated in complete failure recently.

The steering wheel sticks when it is at center while driving down a straight road or a slight bend and I have to push the steering wheel past the center. But I mostly experience this issue when driving down a straight road and the steering wheel is in the center position and I have to turn the steering wheel slightly to the right or left to bring the car back to the center of the lane due to car moving left or right of lane because of road crown, wind, etc. My safety is at risk when I adjust the steering wheel to the left or right of center and get resistance (sticky). When I push past the resistance the steering wheel goes further to the left or right than desired and jerks the car in that direction causing an erratic motion in the direction I'm pushing the steering wheel. The erratic motion could be a safety issue if the road conditions are not good. This could put the safety of others at risk, specifically other drivers who see the erratic movement of the vehicle and react to it. I called the Honda dealership and scheduled a service for next week. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to this.

Message read as "Adaptive Cruise Control Problem" "Collision Mitigation System Problem" I notified Honda of North Hollywood service department at the time, and they said they could not do anything to fix the problem unless the message was actively displayed on the dash board during the time of service. Unfortunate for me the message would come and go and would not remain on for the service advisor to see.

The standard OEM key fobs for Honda Civics, for several model years, and possibly for other Honda models, have a "feature" that seriously affects driver and passenger safety, and that cannot be disabled. If two buttons are depressed simultaneously on the key fob for a period of time, all of the windows go down and the doors unlock. I have encountered dozens and dozens, perhaps hundreds, of owner complaints about this "feature" on various Internet bulletin boards. Typically, the stories go, "I parked downtown in an unsafe area and I came back to my car and found that it was unlocked with all of the windows open and someone stole everything from my car," or "I parked outside just before a rain storm and I returned to my car to find all of the windows open without my knowledge and the interior of my car was soaked." Single women could encounter this problem and be attacked by people hiding in the back seat. Apparently, if anything in one's pocket depresses the keys on the fob, without one's knowledge, this occurs. It has happened to me, where I'll bend down to tie my shoe and walk away and I'll return hours later to find all the windows open during a rain storm or in a bad part of town. I've asked American Honda numerous times for a way to disable this unwanted "feature" and they've said that they've not interested in addressing it unless they're forced to do so by the government. This is a serious safety issue, not only implicating potential crime, but a wet soaked car interior could affect electrical and navigation systems in a life-threatening way. If you respond, I can upload several Internet pages with owner comments and complaints about this problem.

I was informed of recall on my 2018 Honda Civic. I have called my local dealership - Lees Summit Honda, since receiving the recall notification. I was told there was a national shortage on parts and my vehicle could not be fixed and to call back next month. I have been calling monthly since receiving the recall notification. I just received an "Important Safety Recall" notice in the mail from Honda detailing the safety consequences of not repairing my vehicle and advising "parts are now available and you can bring your vehicle in for a free repair." I again called my local Honda dealership and was told the parts are not available. I advised that I have been experiencing an acceleration issue after slowing down, such as when I slow down to make a turn. I was told that I could bring my vehicle in for diagnostic but if it is the recall issue they have to keep my car for safety. They do not have loaner vehicles but offered a rental for $50/day and no indication how long it would be before my vehicle would be repaired. Currently I have been waiting 10+ months (300+ days). If the repair takes another 300 days that would cost me $15,000 plus my monthly car payment. I believe Honda is encouraging people NOT to bring in their vehicles for repair, instead to continue driving a vehicle with known safety concerns.

Received safety recall in mail for fuel pump module. Letter from 10/2024 says that "parts are now available and you can bring your vehicle in for a free repair." Called Honda Oakland to get part replaced. Honda Oakland worker Colin said letter is incorrect, that no parts are available and to wait for another letter in mail. Called San Leandro Oakland because thought that Colin's comment was strange. Letter already says "parts are now available." It wouldn't make sense for me to wait for another letter. Turns out Colin from Honda Oakland provided misinformation, which could have gotten me into a car accident waiting for another letter that would never come and waiting for months and months to get my fuel pump replaced. Thankfully, confirmed with San Leandro Oakland that parts are available and ok to take car in immediately. Honda Oakland needs to provide correct info to customers, and not tell them to "wait for another letter." They should have just said to check with another dealership if they didn't have the part available. Although, it's strange they don't have the part available, when the Recall Letter I received says "parts are now available." Please contact Honda Oakland to stop misinforming customers to "wait for another letter in the mail," which doesn't even make sense, since I already got a letter saying parts available. Dangerous comment to customers. Perhaps Honda Oakland just doesn't want to deal with recalls? Need to file this complaint to protect other customers who might have listened to Colin and waited several more months for another letter that would never come. They should just tell customer to check with another dealership.

I previously submitted a report to your agency on May 31, 2024 regarding my 2018 Honda Civic Sedan (VIN# provided) relating to what has been widely called a "sticky" steering action. After having one of their dealerships confirming there is a problem with my steering, I wrote Honda America on June 1, 2024 and advised them of that problem and requested my vehicle be added to a recall program that has included other Honda Civic's in the same manufacturing date range as my vehicle. Honda refused. To further confirm and document that my vehicle suffers from this problem, I took my vehicle to another local Honda dealer, who also confirmed my vehicle suffers from this problem. By letter of October 30, 2024 I again wrote Honda America and appealed for them to repair this dangerous steering problem. I must continue to drive this vehicle with this serious problem, and I am writing this to document my communications with Honda, and hope that your agency will intervene with Honda to add my vehicle to a recall program. To be clear, the internet is full of owners of the same year and make of my vehicle who are having the same problem with their steering. Thank You

ODI #11624600POWER TRAIN,AIR BAGS,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

This was such a strange occurance. After pulling off from a stop sign attempting a right turn, my vehicle stalled, readjusted, then stalled again. I was driving on a cobblestone road while it was raining, but did not find any issues with vision or traction. However, during this process, my passenger airbag deployed out of nowhere causing me to immediately stop the car to see if I had hit something. There was nothing under or beside my car indicating any significant impact that would have caused this to happen. There were no other cars, or any pedestrians involved, nor any debris or blockade in the road so I did not file a police report or contact my insurace. My sister was in the passenger seat, and my 3 children in the back. No one sustained any injuries, but the entire incident was extremely startling, shocking, and confusing. There is no damage on my car that suggests I hit something, but I have no idea what could have caused an airbag to deploy, and why only that one? Being that I was pulling off on a turn, I was not going fast enough for me to think that the cobblestone could have set off a "pothole like" effect to the sensors. After research revealed there have been recalls on previous models concerning the Takata airbags, I reached out to a local Honda dealer for help. The associate immediately disregarded my account of the incident stating that "there hasn't been any recalls on the 2018 Honda Civic" and that I should "take it to a body shop and see if the insurance will take care of it". I assumed he had no intention of helping me AT ALL because I had reached the service department with a Honda service issue, so why would he not at least offer to have me bring it in to be fix there, even if I had to pay out of pocket? This lead me to do further research in which I found that there is in fact a current recall on the fuel pump, which is known to cause issues with stalling. I feel misled by Honda, and would like an explanation, as well as accountability.

Honda is failing to resolve the safety recall on my 2018 Civic in a timely fashion. Despite notifying me in February 2024 of an issue related to a faulty fuel pump module, no dealership in my local area was able to make a replacement due to a lack of parts. I received a second notice in October 2024 that parts are now available, yet local dealerships are telling me that they either don't know when parts will be shipped out by Honda or that I'll have to wait until December. As mentioned in the recall, this can lead to various problems such as the engine not starting, vehicle stalling while driving, increased risk of crashing, and emission issues.

The steering has suffered from a sticky or notched feeling off an on for the last 3 years. It seems to happen whenever the car is warm/in hot weather. It feels like the steering gets stuck in place, so you can't smoothly make adjustments. It's worst when you're driving straight or in gradual sloping turns in warm weather. It feels like it sort of clicks out of the rut it's stuck in, generally only to get stuck feeling again immediately. I just gifted the car to my son, and I'm concerned that this will continue to be a problem, since it's never cleared up while I've owned the vehicle. I am the original owner. The mileage is currently 56,220. If I had to guess, the problem has been occurring probably for the last 20K miles? I have asked 2 different Honda Dealerships in the DFW area (Honda Grapevine and Vandergriff Honda) to see if they could figure it out, and both times, they said they couldn't replicate the problem.

The steering wheel acts as it is sticking in place when driving down the highway and requires a greater than typical force to free the wheel.

Minute changes in steering angle required to maintain lane position become virtually impossible resulting in erratic steering inputs. I am aware that this is a common issue across multiple years of Honda Civic. I was told that the dealer will diagnose this issue as a faulty steering rack with a repair cost of ~$4,000.

When driving, if the sunlight is just right casting shadows in front of the car from trees, or while traveling down a divided highway passing 18 wheelers (mainly in the evening), the shadow created causes a false alarm on the collision avoidance system causing it to react by hard deceleration. This is also accompanied by the audible BRAKE alert coming across the gauge cluster. While at highway speeds, it can really startle you and possibly cause you to be rear ended due to the sudden and Unneed braking. You have to get hard on the accelerator in order to overcome the computer trying to slow you down. There is a recall on OTHER Honda vehicles for this exact thing, and it needs to be expanded to the Civic as it suffers from the same problem.

Turns out it was the compressor that was the issue and not covered under warranty, Honda wants $1242 to repair the clutch, field and pulley assembly. With the number of complaints regarding the AC issues on these cars, there needs to be a recall or class action lawsuit to protect consumers.

My 2018 Honda Civic is presenting with issues related to another safety recall, but my Vin doesn't come up for that recall. I got diagnostics done for this issue at a Honda certified dealership, the wanted over $5600 to repair the safety recall issue because my Vin doesn't come up for that specific recall- only one of the safety recalls, which they do not have parts for. I got a second opinion with another mechanic who confirmed that what's going on with my car is a recall safety issue on Honda's part, not my own. My car is not safe to drive due to a rack and pinion safety issue and a fuel pump issue and the safety issues have gotten worse. Others and my own safety is put at risk because the car doesn't have a lot of power to maneuver the vehicle safely as well as the steering locking up. My vehicle shows no lights on the dash.

The steering does not allow for smaller adjustments making it difficult to keep the vehicle continuing in a straight line in higher speeds (highways, freeways). When attempting to pull the wheel, it will not move until more force is used, causing the wheel to jerk and making the vehicle difficult to control. After checking with the Norm Reeves Honda Center, they suggested it was an issue with the power steering rack, however many others report they've had a similar issue but discovered it was the gearbox at fault.

My AC system in my 2018 Honda has now failed twice under 80000 miles. The first time the compressor and condenser were leaking and failed around 50000 miles which the dealership said was due to a new refrigerant that Honda had started using for this generation of civics. Following this repair, Honda extended the warranty for these components of the AC system. Early in July 2024, I had the same issues with my AC blowing hot air only and making hissing and banging noises on the passenger side at around 75000 miles. Took this to the dealership and they again said that the compressor and condenser were leaking and had failed but also that the evaporator valve was leaking and failed due to the compressor and condenser issues. However, Honda has not extended their warranty for these parts and this would be an out of pocket cost. Honda needs to own up to their faulty AC system used in this generation of Honda civics and extend the warranty to all involved parts or issue a recall and properly fix the system so it isn’t failing every 18 months.

The electric power steering rack assembly is malfunctioning. The steering wheel becomes stuck while driving and high force is required to free the steering wheel to enable turning. This can repeat rapidly and can be very clearly heard with an audible knocking noise. This issue is most evident when driving on the highway and driving straight. Making small adjustments to stay within the driving lines is incredibly difficult, exhausting, and leads to unintended oversteering and swerving. This puts the driver and others at risk of death and/or injury. This issue occurs every time the vehicle is operated. This issue has been confirmed by a Honda dealership and there are no warning lamps to notify the user of this issue. This safety issue affects 10th generation Honda Civics and is widely known to owners of these vehicles. Honda recommends replacing the electric power steering rack assembly.

Steering feels rough. When traveling down highway, resistance is felt when trying to make steering adjustments right or left. The pressure required to make adjustments causes the car to weave, as each adjustment right or left requires pressure to overcome resistance. I also have had steering bump against my input going around a corner. This is a dangerous defect and is well documented. Honda should recall these defective electronic steering units.

The problem I have is with the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) rack on my 2018 Honda Civic Si. My safety is at risk because the EPS rack causes the steering wheel to stick at the 12-o clock position while driving in ambient temperatures above 60F. The vehicle is difficult to keep driving straight, and the sticking causes me to have to jerk the wheel from side to side to overcome the sticky spot. This is a common issue on 10th and 11th Gen Hondas and Acuras. My vehicle has not been inspected yet by Honda as they would charge me to diagnose the issue, or simply deny any problem exists. I am a shadetree/at-home mechanic who has determined this issue from my own research and mechanical knowledge. The symptoms first appeared 1 year ago during the summer after I bought the car.

When merging over left to right my steering wheel seems to stick like a magnet is pulling it. I've taken it to 2 different shops and they say that "it's the electronic rack and pinion. Nothing to be fixed as this is normal." What I see here is a safety issue because when the steering wheel releases from the "magnet" it makes me feel like over correcting my turn because it pulls hard to whichever direction it's being pulled.

Over the past few months, I have noticed the steering wheel "sticking" while driving. It occurs most frequently on trips longer than 30 minutes or on trips at highway speeds (55+ mph) for any amount of time. The steering sticks at the 12 position and requires extra force to move it to the 11 or 1 positions. This makes it difficult to make micro-adjustments when driving straight or on slightly curved roads without wrenching the steering wheel in a way that causes the car to swerve or move further than expected/needed. The problem has been reproduced by the dealership McGovern Honda in Boston. The dealership expects the problem to become worse. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle or component, nor have the police or insurance agents. There were and are no warning messages or errors. The problem first became noticeable in February/March 2024.

While the wheel is centered and moving, primarily at highway speeds, the steering feels sticky in the sense where making slight corrections to the left or right causes over correction. While centered the wheel has a “hump” to overcome before steering input is registered at the wheels.

Beginning about early February 2024, the steering of this vehicle became "sticky" at certain speeds. More specifically, above about 40 MPH the steering wheel will almost lock into place and resistance is felt when the driver attempts to turn the steering wheel in a different direction. Yes, I consent to an inspection by Honda or NHTSA representatives upon request.

Yes, the condition was described to a local Honda dealer on February 11, 2024 (I have a copy of their report - which I have uploaded with this writing). While their diagnosis isn't shown on that report, the dealer verbally advised this writer that the problem I described was identified and the dealer provided me an estimate to replace a steering mechanism for a price of about $2,970.

I believe the dealer/manufacturer has failed to remedy the fuel pump module improperly molded impeller in a timely manner. On [XXX] and [XXX] I had incidents of my vehicle's engine being prevented from starting. An independent mechanic stated that this was likely related to my vehicle's fuel pump recall. I contacted Honda customer service shortly after the [XXX] incident by telephone and I was told that unless a Honda mechanic diagnosed my issue as definitively related to the fuel pump, there was no recourse to expedite the repair. I was not assured that there would be no diagnostic charge associated with the inspection by a Honda repair person. Following the [XXX] incident, I contacted Nucar Honda in Norwood, MA to attempt to expedite the repair for my vehicle. I was told to bring in the vehicle several days later. The week of April 16 I brought the vehicle in and was told I would need to pay a diagnostic charge if they did not find a fuel pump issue in my vehicle, which is not what the recall specialist had said. I left and following consultation with the recall specialist the next day, I returned with my vehicle in hopes of expediting the recall repair for my vehicle. At that point and following my additional calls on [XXX] and in the following days, I was told that the safety recall repair parts were still not readily available and would likely be ready "at the end of the summer" or "best case scenario at the end of July." As I have contacted Honda and the local dealership since the end of January/beginning of February 2024 for a safety recall repair that is estimated to be available only half a year later, this is outside what is noted by the NHTSA as a reasonable amount of time.

I filled complaint few days ago and want to update findings. I brought car to Honda dealership due to sticking steering wheel. They right away were aware of the problem and asked the service manager to come speak to me. He said he would take the car for a quick drive around parking lot to verify problem. Upon return he said the steering rack was definitely the problem and had to be replaced. I asked how he was so sure of this, was this a common problem? He said yes, it’s a growing issue and had already replaced 5-6 in the last month on the year Civics and CRVs. They worked up a quote for replacing the rack. $6,971.60! The car only has 57,291 miles on it, it is out of warranty by 13 months. He said if had only been 6 months out of warranty he could have covered it. He said it was out of his hands. Cost of this repair is 30% of the cars value! I asked if the car was safe to drive as this is my daughter’s car. He said in his opinion it was, and he didn’t think it would get worse. My daughter said problem gets worse after about 40 minutes of driving, so I just took it on a long drive. Not only does it get worse but it’s almost uncontrollable. I gave her my car to drive until we figure out what to do. We certainly do not have the money to repair this as I’m sure 1,000’s of other owners who have the same problem.

I recently brought in my car to Rousch Honda. They told me that my vehicle needs a new EPS rack costing $5000. My car has 95151 miles on it. After driving for about a half hour on the highway, I get a sticking steering wheel. I can move it but it takes slightly more effort to keep it straight. When it happens it occurs intermittently. Sometimes it happens often. Other times it doesn't happen at all. I think there should be a recall so that it doesn't cause an accident where people over correct and lose control.

ODI #11581316STEERING

Steering wheel “sticks” when making long sweeping left turns at any speed or when making small steering corrections at highway speeds. Steering wheel requires an extra amount of effort to move causing over corrections. At highway speeds it results in the appearance of erratic driving. The “stickyness” increases with heat, generated by both increased running time and higher ambient air temperatures. My vehicle has 86k miles, the issue has gotten progressively worse since around the 45k mile mark. Seems very similar to the issue that has resulted in a recall for the 2022-23 civics. The quality of Honda vehicles seems to be in a downward spiral. This issue is a major safety concern.

ODI #11581438STEERINGCRASH

Steering has been an issue with this car from the start, when driving at highway speeds the car never drives straight. No matter how straight I keep my steering wheel, the car will still start to drift without correction- which is usually not an issue, but the civics steering has little to no resistance (firmness) so it turns very easily, thus making it nearly impossible to avoid overcorrecting. The sensitivity adds a huge fear factor for me as well considering how hard it is to control this car to begin with, if you dont manage to over steer yourself, the extremely high sensitivity settings of the steering wheel will almost guarantee an over correction... which is nonstop (and a huge distraction!!) until you arent moving. I couldn't imagine it would be easy trying to regain control under these conditions if God forbid I end up losing it.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled, and no warning lights were illuminated. The following day the contact stated that the brake lights were flashing, and the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was jumpstarted, and several warning lights illuminated. In addition, while the contact was driving at unknown speeds the steering wheel jerked to the right and the contact had to maneuver the steering wheel with excessive strength. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the contact was informed that the failure was not associated with the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty VSA modulator, and it was replaced. The contact stated that after the repair there was a decrease in vehicle performance, a high-pitched sound near the gas tank, and the engine shook violently when the accelerator pedal was depressed, especially while driving at approximately 60 MPH or more. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated forward when the brake pedal was depressed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that a particular diagnostic code was not shown for the parts to be ordered. The failure mileage was approximately 51,990.

At ~80,000 miles on the odometer, the vehicle began exhibiting stiff/unresponsive steering at highway speeds. Specifically, when driving on a level plane in a straight line, the driver's attempts to correct drifts in direction by turning the steering wheel elicit no immediate feedback from the steering rack. This, in turn, forces the driver to exert greater steering effort via the steering wheel that, in turn, leads to a sudden and somewhat dramatic reaction from the steering rack. At best, this is annoying and increases driver fatigue on long trips. At worst, it creates a steering overreaction that could result in rollover or collision. Symptoms are identical to the steering rack malfunctions described in the recall for 2022-2023 models of the Honda Civic. The numbers of complaints appear to be relatively high and consistent with steering rack issues that date back to 2016 and persist through the 2022-2023 models. NHTSA would be well within its regulatory authority to order Honda to initiate a recall for this flaw.

ODI #11580350STEERING

Vehicle has a little over 100,000 miles on it. Issue started happening on and off starting at ~85k miles. Steering will resist/stick when making small adjustments while driving on a straight road or a wide curve causing overcorrection. The amount of sticking seems to vary depending on the amount of time driven and the temperature outside. Potentially dangerous (and extremely annoying) because it happens seemingly at random and is the amount of force to correct the steering is unpredictable. Sometimes it stick hard, sometimes it sticks a small amount, and sometimes it sticks none. Sometimes the car has to be swerved to be kept straight in the lane after breaking out of one of the sticking fits. It resets every time the wheel is straightened back into the 12 o'clock position and there is no way to know if the next time the wheel is moved it will do it again. Happens at all speeds but is most noticeable when going 55+ mph. This issue isn’t able to photographed obviously so here is a good video showing the exact issue (while the vehicle is stopped.) Video is not mine. [XXX] I have seen dozens and dozens of other instances of this happening from others online on Reddit, forums and YouTube videos. The cost to replace is ridiculous at $2,000-$4,000 for the entire rack and eps. I am going to take the car into a dealership to be looked at soon. Most instances I have seen, Honda refuses to cover or even recognize this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Report # [XXX]. Case number with American Honda Motor Company [XXX] . Both dealer and manufacturer refused to acknowledge that issue warrants any remediation mentioning that VIN number and color of vehicle is not part of the recall. Honda does have similar recalls for paint peeling off for different color codes and have extended warranty to 7 years from date of manufacturer. Issue is wide spread and can be seen by multiple complaints and manufacturer communication section of NHTSA.GOV website. Issue is affecting other color codes than the one Honda acknowledged in prior recalls.

A/C & Steering with another recall of the fuel pump The steering was hard to steer car in a straight line. I had to align the car three times so it could run smoother. Something is wrong with the steering. There were no warning lamps or messages. This first appeared from the day I bought it on May of 2018. I had to take the car back to dealership several times. The mechanic could not find anything wrong but I've had several leases of Honda Civic's/Accord's and this is the first that does not drive smooth and has recalls. I feel this car is a patched car/lemon and would rather have it replaced with a newer model and less serious recalls or issues.

Now, as of March 2024 it has started again as soon as the weather starts to get warmer. Once you feel it it’s very obvious that it’s happening. It’s when you make small adjustments on the highway to stay in the lane and when the weather is warmer. There is a distinct point where you feel resistance moving the wheel. Almost like the power steering is failing for a brief second. Based on the amount of reports of this Honda has to know this was a flaw in design yet refuses to fix it.

The part i have narrowed down the problem to is the electric power steering rack. While driving down the highway at highway speeds, +50 mph, the steering will stick / hang up and then once the vehicle starts to sway / push out to one side or the other of its own lane, when you try and correct the steering to get the vehicle back to center in its lane, the steering will somewhat free up, but this happens all at once in a sudden surge and that is when your speed is the factor as to how violent you may swerve. This happens every time the vehicle is driven and it seems to be more prevalent once the vehicle hits the operating temperature or on days when mother nature decides to give us some +90° temperature days.

The Honda dealership received the car that day, after closing, and I called the next morning. I was told that the dealership could not touch my car because the recall was not official. I asked about a loaner car or reimbursement for a rental car and informed that they would get back to me soon with an answer and I should call Honda Customer Care. I was informed that yes the dealership should be able to assess my car and though the recall is not out yet, they could fix it and I would pay out of pocket to be reimbursed when the recall became official.

Last week my body control module (bcm) malfunctioned in my car. I was first alerted to this from a car alarm going off. I tried my key fob and nothing happened. Despite nothing happening I walk outside to find it is actually coming from my car and none of the key fob buttons are working.(I have 2 I tried) I was completely locked out of my car and even the physical key was not opening the door. Yet for some reason the trunk was unlocked.(not able to enter car through here.) Looking inside the care to my amazement it was turned on in accessory mode despite me having absolutely no contact with the key except hours prior but the vehicle was properly shut off at that time. The safety concerns posed by this is that this could happen at any point potentially locking a pet, a child, or myself into my car with no means of escape. The car was only in accessory mode, but that means it’s fully capable of turning itself on by itself. Had I parked my car in the garage and it turned over, I’d probably be laying in my house dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. Upon looking online, there were countless occurrences of this happening in Honda’s newer vehicles 2016+. Even to the point where Honda recalled the same body control module issue in their accord and insight models. But why not the civic in their line which suffers from the same issue as their flagship vehicles?

As I approached my vehicle I saw it was on (assuming it was from my remote start). My car wouldn’t unlock. The trunk also wouldn’t unlock. My key fob was not dead as I went back into the grocery store and bought a new battery and replaced it. After that still did not work, I attempted to open my car door with the manual key included in my key fob. The manual key also wouldn’t work. At this point I realized my car was not on due to remote start. My car was actually running the entire time. I was stranded for 5 hours while I had to wait for my fiancé to leave work and travel to the part of town I was on. He was also unsuccessful with using the key. We had to resort to unlocking the door with a wire hanger by sticking it through the door. After we successfully unlocked the door, the car alarm went off and the key was working like nothing ever happened. I also want to mention we went home yo get my spare and the spare wasn’t working.

Car has power steering issue most noticeable at highway speeds, matching the description of the EPS defect on 2018 Civics (NHTSA ID: 18V663000 ) but my VIN was not included in the recall, despite showing the exact same problem. The steering sticks and has resistance to small adjustments, especially trying to go straight in a lane, & snapping side to side or pulling in opposite direction instead of smoothly turning, intensity varies. There is an audible "clicking" or resistance sound when turning. It's getting increasingly worse overtime, and is a safety issue. Matches testimonials of many other owners of 2018 Civics online. Ive had 3 independent engineers diagnose this issue as a power steering rack problem matching the recall - I have documentation from 2 attached below, the 3rd was an in-person recommendation, document was not provided.

I was told that A/C will need to be recharged with Freon and dye, the cost is $299.95 Once recharged, the A/C will need to be re inspected for further leaks in the A/C system. The A/C compressor seal shaft and the A/C condenser, these two parts, the warranty has been extended by Honda. The A/C evaporator is not covered by Honda warranty. It is a well documented fact that Honda’s A/C systems on the 2018 Civic has defective components. It appears that the R1234yf refrigerant used in these systems is deteriorating the A/C components. Honda has responded to this situation by extending the warranty on the condenser and compressor seal shaft to 10 years from date of purchase. However, to date they have refused to extend the warranty on the evaporator and other components of the system. Typically, evaporator last the lifetime of a vehicle, or at least 10 to 15 years. It is unfair for Honda to charge $299.95 to inspect a system that is known to be faulty, and to saddle the customer with another $2200.00 if the evaporator is found to be leaking. The entire A/C system should be covered by the 10 year extended warranty.

Is there a service bulletin for our 2018 Civic Si for sticky steering? The longer we drive, the worse the sticky spot gets. It takes enough manual force to overcome that it overcorrects when it breaks loose. Leads to a lot of heavy handed weaving when I intend to be going straight and effortless for hundreds of miles. Recurs frequently on every long trip but seems worse in summertime. Happens at all speeds. Started around 50,000 miles and has continued to the present 133,000 miles. I worked in the aerospace industry for many years, and we had a common problem that may be relevant. Electric motors in a DC system, require a capacitive circuit to build up energy to start motor movement. Liquid filled capacitors are inherently cheaper, but they dry out over time and use which leads to failure of the capacitor and degraded motor performance (especially start up delays). Higher grade capacitors for the electric motor may have been overlooked, but may be the solution to the problem.

The car which has 46K miles on it started is now have steering issues. The symptoms are that when driving, especially at highway speeds, there is a 'sticking' point in the wheel. The sticking point tends to be when the car is moving straight down a road. When doing even moderate steering corrections on the highway, the 'sticking' takes extra force from the driver to move the wheel. Once you do apply force, there is generally a slight overcorrection that will occur as the force needed to move the wheel exceeds what is generally needed for the correction. As a result of the 'sticking', you must constantly battle the car and correct the steering in order to drive it. Upon my visit to Honda dealer I was told, after a very quick inspection (5 minutes), that the Rack was bad and with parts and labor, the cost to install the new Rack would exceed $4K. I understand that the bad rack could cause the steering to lock. Outside of Honda and mechanics I have spoken with, I have not had other independent verifications of the vehicle. There are no warning lights on the car stating this issue.

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious safety concern related to the steering system of my 2018 Honda Civic. I believe there is a significant defect in the vehicle's steering rack, resulting in hazardous driving conditions that could potentially lead to accidents and injuries. Description of the Incident: While turning the steering wheel in either direction, regardless of the speed, the steering rack becomes "sticky" and unresponsive. This issue forces the driver to exert additional force to correct the steering, leading to a sudden overcorrection once the resistance is overcome. The erratic behavior of the steering rack has put me in numerous situations where I narrowly avoided accidents. Impact and Concern: The erratic steering behavior has caused a severe safety hazard. The sudden overcorrection of the steering rack greatly compromises the stability and control of the vehicle, making it extremely difficult to maintain a steady course during turns. This defect creates an unpredictable driving experience that is highly dangerous not only for the driver but also for passengers and other road users. Attempts to Resolve the Issue: I have made an attempt to address this issue by taking my vehicle to authorized Honda dealerships. What is particularly concerning is that the dealerships have been unresponsive to admitting that this is a safety issue. Request for Investigation and Action: I kindly request the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct a thorough investigation into the "sticky" steering rack issue affecting the 2018 Honda Civic. It is crucial to determine the root cause of this defect and take appropriate actions to ensure the safety of all affected vehicles. I urge you to initiate a recall if necessary, to prevent further accidents and injuries associated with this steering defect.

i have been experiencing issues with the rack for well over a year, it could be two honestly i cant remember. but unlike most reports mine isnt as noticeable at highway speeds. Mine is an issue at low speed or while parked. like the video of the guy with the 2016 civic, if you've been following the issue, mine is notchy and kind of delayed reaction to the steering input. in other words as you turn it slowly while it jerks in the direction you're turning slightly after you begin to turn the wheel. it also makes audible clunk/click noises at very low speed particularly while doing something like turning into a parking space. it also makes a noise at low speed while going straight and feels like the steering gear is hung up and then jerks past the hump from left to right or right to left; it just depends, it has a mind of its own. it is not my suspension as ive gone through it over and over. uninstalled, reinstalled, adjusted ride height etc etc, serviced my coil overs-still get the noise and jerkiness. I say this because the honda tech said "well its because your car is lowered, it sounds like the bushings or struts to me" as if we are all some kind of idiots that cant tell a tire from a brake pad and dont spend miles upon miles in our vehicles. we know when something isnt right. My car made zero noises and had zero issues until one day it did. all while having the same suspension set up for quite some time before. so no its not the suspension. also, mine is very climate sensitive. on hotter days it is extremely noisy and the jerky/notchy steering is very bad. in winter when it is much cooler, under 50F you have to try to notice it upon initial start up, if at all, until the car has been driven for a prolonged period and warms up the rack which sits right under the front pipe as im sure you all know.

The steering is sticky. When this issue is happening, the car will not drive in a straight line without the driver actively trying to hold it in place but in trying to hold it in place, the steering sticks and you have to give it a slight jerk of the wheel to get it out of the correction. It's a constant battle with the steering. Any lengthy turning (on-ramps, etc) results in the steering holding itself in that position and requires the driver to make a slight jerk to release the position of the wheel. It's been happening for over a year, it started sporadically. In the past three months, it has increased in frequency and 'stickiness' to where it's now happening almost daily. Frustrated not to see a recall on this as it is difficult to replicate at a dealership during a short test drive. Currently at 51, 069 miles

This vehicle has what sounds like the "Honda Civic Sticky Steering" issue that I've read about. I thought I was imagining the problem. At times, after the vehicle is warmed up and has been driven for 30 to 60 minutes, when small corrections are made to the steering wheel the wheel resists a little and additional force must be applied to the wheel to get the car to respond. This can cause the car to jerk slightly in the direction that the force is being applied by the steering wheel. The car will travel a bit too much and require a small amount of force to be applied to the steering wheel in the opposite direction. This causes the car to jerk back and forth a small amount. All appears to be good till the next change in the direction of travel is required and the same response occurs. I read last week about a lawsuit involving 2022 and 2023 Civics for this same type of issue. Online searches over the weekend turned up numerous complaints on 2016 - 2023 Honda Civic vehicles for this type of problem. Appreciate any feedback related to this issue from a safety standpoint. In my car this has been going on for quite some time, but, I thought I was imagining it till I noticed that other people have a similar problem. No warning lamps light up in the car at this point. Once it starts happening this happens repeatedly at speeds over 30 mph.

ODI #11518663STEERING

Failed component/system: Some portion of the steering system. Vehicle is available for inspection. When the vehicle warms up and is driven 20 to 40 mins, power steering becomes "sticky," requiring additional effort for driver input in order to overcome, which causes excessive oversteer (in either direction). At highway speeds, while making "micro-corrections" to the vehicle's trajectory, driving becomes unsafe as the unintended oversteer can get quite pronounced and often results in oversteer both in directions, in rapid succession. This issue has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center and would require a service tech to drive the automobile for up to 40 mins to confirm. The issue has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police insurance representatives or others. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms associated with this issue have occurred. This issue occurs 100% of the time it's driven more than 20-40 minutes.

While driving at high speeds (>40mph) without turns, the steering wheel sticks at the center. It then requires relatively significant force and results in a jerk and steering overcorrection. The steering overcorrections is very dangerous when on high speed roads with oncoming traffic right next to you. The problem is reproducable at these speeds. No warning signals for this has occured. This has been occuring for a ~a month now 3/1/23.

I currently have 29, 078 MI on the car. It's an excellent condition. About a thousand miles ago it started to have a problem where the steering starts to stick in place and requires extra effort to turn it sometimes causing overcorrection. I started to look up online to see if there was a way to reset the power steering and found several other reports that alarmed me about the pattern of this issue. I'm still trying to figure out more detailed pattern to the problem and hopeful solution without having to replace the entire steering rack. The worst incident was on the highway in dry weather in which the steering kept sticking in place and would require extra pressure to adjust the steering wheel which repeatedly was causing overcorrection and near loss of control.

ODI #11513421STEERING

At highway speeds, the steering 'sticks' - thus requiring more significant effort to make minor adjustments (sometimes leading to over-correction). The problem is difficult to reproduce for a dealer or service center as it only happens at highway speeds and seems to be most prevalent when holding a straight steering path for a period of time and then trying to make a minor adjustment.

ODI #11513523STEERING

When I attempt to make minor adjustments at highway speeds to remain within the lines on straight roads it feels like the steering wheel is sticky and resists steering adjustments. In order to make steering adjustments due to this issue, I must greatly increase the pressure that I am exerting on the steering wheel to the left or right direction. Once the steering wheel finally gives to the pressure necessary that I have to exert to turn it, the pressure ends up being so great that it causes the vehicle to jerk in the direction I am steering. I then have to overcorrect back the opposite direction. This has been happening for several months at minimum and the vehicle has less than 26000 miles on it. When I purchased the vehicle 8 months ago it only had 12500 miles on it. This also has been occurring when turning through curves lately, however instead of resisting my attempt to turn the wheel it feels as though it pulls harder into the direction that I am turning. After some research it appears as though the malfunction comes from the EPS system. No warning lights have illuminated for the duration that I have owned or driven the car. I am concerned that this problem could cause an accident due to not being able to control the car or react effectively in a defensive driving scenario. The car has not been inspected by any dealership or manufacturer.

Around 30-40k miles, the steering in my car started becoming notchy while driving and even at a stop. This is especially noticeable when driving on the highway when I'm trying to make small corrections to stay centered in the lane. On the highway, if I need to bring the car slightly to the right in a lane, rather than being able to smoothly turn the wheel to the right, it doesn't turn until a certain amount of force is applied and then it will move past that "Notch" and sometimes turn more than intended due to the excess force that I had to apply to get over the notchiness in the steering wheel. This has led to me almost hitting cars in the lane to my right. I have not brought this issue to the dealership because my car is currently out of warranty. No indicators, messages, lights are showing on the dash. Based on the many other people who have this similar problem, it appears it may be due to a steering rack, as that is what the dealership has been replacing for other people who faced this problem.

It was raining. I was driving on the highway at approximately 60-65 MPH range. I was coming out of a long gradual curve and the steering would not center. It started to have a slight fish tail feel. Normally I let off the throttle and it will level out. This time it acted like i had yanked the steering wheel to the right. I dont recall feeling pressure or resistance from the steering wheel reflecting from the tires actually being turned, but i cant confidently say there wasn't. Nonetheless, it caused me to spin into the ditch. If it would have decided to go the other direction I would have gone into the car next to me or oncoming traffic. It gradually started getting a loose feel on the highway up to that point. Prior to the accident, when in inclement weather she would have a fishtail feel coming out of turns (Sometimes while just traveling straight). I tried not to drive on the highway during inclement conditions afterwards because she still had the same symptoms. I think the best way to describe it: Somewhere in the steering components it is initially resistant to return to center. Instead it teeters back and forth like a pendulum before finally returning to center.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle started to idle very rough. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was an engine cylinder misfire failure with DTC codes: P0302 and P0303. Additionally, the contact stated that there was a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. Fuel injectors were replaced by owner April 10, 2022. Upon oil change the same day, oil was very dark, despite only having 600 miles use since last changed and there was fuel noted in oil. Pictures were sent to NHTSA. Since changing injectors fuel mileage has improved greatly. The car has gone from averaging 37MPG to around 41MPG. Oil changed on 6/27/22, coloration was normal for routing change and did not note fuel in oil. No warning lights or issues with operation since injectors changed. The P0302 & P0303 codes were to be covered as part of a service bulletin relating to oil dilution but both Honda corp & dealership stated that injectors were not covered as part of the service bulletin. Even though the injectors could be directly responsible for the oil dilution issue if not properly functioning and throwing codes associated with the bulletin. Owner incurred the expense of rental car for a week, two lost days of onsite work with employer, and cost to purchase injectors. Will provide receipts.

Failed component: electronic steering gearbox and Steering Electric Power Assist System Safety: The steering wheel maneuverability is compromised by continuously pulling to the left and requiring the driver to pull the wheel to the right for correction or vehicle will drift into the left lane, increasing the risk of a crash. This back and forth movement to correct the steering wheel pull requires the driver to constantly move the steering wheel back and forth to keep the vehicle in the current lane. Problem brought to Slidell Honda dealer 3/9/2022. Dealer did a sensor relearn but unsuccessful. Dealer recommends replacement of electronic steering gearbox, for which there is a current Honda recall C2N, P20 but does not include my VIN#. Reported to Honda, case no. [XXX].

The steering wheel sticks, so if traveling at highway speeds and you need to do a subtle course correction to stay centered in your lane, the force necessary to 'unstick' the steering wheel causes an oversteer condition and can cause you to exit your lane unintentionally.

2018 Civic Hatchback with less than 18,000 miles on it - noticed A/C was not blowing cool air, so took it into dealership for evaluation. Was told the freon was low but the issue was not due to the condenser and would not be covered under the 2016-19 Civic A/C Condenser Warranty extension. Dealership said they looked at everything possible without disassembling through the dash and so gave me the option to either perform a diagnostic leak test/Freon recharge ($400, with the caveat that the leak may still be there and this would be a temporary fix) or to replace the evaporator entirely ($1800). Unfortunately the car is no longer covered under factory warranty since it’s over 3yrs old. Does not make sense that for a vehicle that’s <4 years old with <18K miles this is an issue.

The AC on my vehicle has broken three times since I bought the car in 2018. The compressor and condenser have been replaced but this time it's likely the evaporator. I have been told that it will cost thousands of dollars since the entire dashboard will have to be removed. And I don't know if it's even worth fixing if this cycle of breakdowns is going to repeat itself every year. I am so disappointed because I am a long time Honda owner and there has been no support from corporate so far. The only thing they have done recently is that they continually hound me to invest in an extended warranty. But I believe that I shouldn't be forced to invest more money in order to pay for a defect on their end. Who knew that a Honda could be a lemon?

Told me condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and was covered under warranty. However the condenser was back ordered and I couldn't get it replaced at that time. April 2021 Condenser was in stock and went into the dealership to get it fixed on warranty. January 2022 A/C was blowing hot air again so I bought it back to the dealership. Was told the evaporator/compressor was leaking and was quoted $4,000 to get it fixed. Summary: Had constant A/C issues and was finally quoted $4,000 to fix the A/C on a car that is only 4 years old.

The tire pressure monitoring, brake system, electronic power steering, and stability assist warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to drive to her residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to turn off the vehicle and turn it back on to correct the failure. The power steering was corrected after restarting the vehicle; however, the warning lights were still illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with lost communication with the steering angle sensor. The dealer calibrated the steering angle sensor and cleared the DTC, then test drove the vehicle. The failure recurred a week later with an additional unknown warning light. The vehicle was towed a second time back to the dealer, who diagnosed that rodents were chewing the steering column wires. The dealer replaced the steering column wires and wrapped them in a tape produced by the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the steering column wires were soy-insulated, which could attract rodents. The failure mileage was 31,879.

2018 Honda Civic 2.0L Sedan bought in July 2018, starts to blow warm air from A/C from on October 2021, with only 50k miles on the car. Went to a mechanic for diagnosis since it was just over warranty and Honda dealer would charge $399 for just diagnosis and the only thing would be under cover is the condenser. The mechanic told me it is either a compressor leak or evaporator leak. I have read the comments online and it says the compressors and evaporator fail at a high rate due to bad design of the 10th gen Honda Civic A/C. I’ve also read that the condenser issue can lead to a compressor and evaporator leak. It is not a safety issue but it is unacceptable that a car which is only over 3 years with about 50k needs to be replaced the compressor or evaporator for over $1000.

On or about 8-23-2021 I noticed that the vehicle’s steering wheel would stick when going on a curve or when suddenly changing lanes. The steering wheel does not return to center and not anticipating this I almost went off the road. I took the vehicle to koons honda Manassas,VA and they diagnosed a bad Rack Assembly. The vehicle is a 2018 civic with only 28k miles on it; the rack should not be failing this early. The cost for the repairs is $3500; I need the vehicle but cannot afford the repairs and on top of that I have a newborn and 7 year old that will be in the car. I do not feel the car is safe and Honda is giving me the runaround to fix it. I also feel that they know about the issue because not only have I read about similar complaints online but they diagnosed the issue within a couple of hours; when such issues would normally start being diagnosed with the simplest fixes like an allignment. I checked online and saw a recall from 2018 and think that this vehicle could have the same issue.

The AC is blowing hot air. I hardly use my AC so I don't know exactly when the issue started. I took my car to the Honda dealer in Buena Park CA. They told me that the warranty was expired. My vehicle is a 2018 with 35k + miles…how can that be? And as expected, Honda refuses to take responsibility. They told me a $300+ diagnostic was needed in order to identify the problem, and if the issue was the condenser if was free of charge. Now according to their findings, the issue IS NOT the condenser but the "evaporator" and the cost to repair it is $2000+. Per the comments here, the problems with the AC unit for 2016-2018 Honda Civics IS a highly reported issue. This should be a recall, and Honda should take full responsibility for all the parts/repairs of the entire A/C system for these cars.

We believe our issue was caused by wiring harnesses coated in soy-based bio-plastics. In late June 2021 our 2018 Honda Civic emitted a strong odor of gasoline. The gasoline odor was detected 15 feet away from the vehicle. Noxious gasoline fumes were inhaled while driving and posed a health risk to driver and passengers, as well as possible fire hazard due to fumes. On June 30, 2021, the Honda Civic was taken to a local Honda dealership for service. It was inspected and signs of mouse damage on top & battery blanket were detected. Honda replaced fuel lines, pipe set fuel & applied rodent tape. No vehicle warnings, lamps or messages alerted us to the problem. It was the strong odor of gasoline that warned us of a problem. Cost to vehicle owner to repair: $1568 on a vehicle that was under warranty.

On 05.02.2021, I was driving our CAR in Philadelphia, and stopped at red light. When I started driving in heavy stop and go traffic knowing I had to stop in 200 ft. brakes failed, brake pedal went to the floor and the car accelerated, emergency brakes didn’t start and Forward collision warning didn’t work. I hit the car in front of me. My car was totaled, more cars were damaged. Two months before this accident I was driving on a crowded Philadelphia city street and when I put on the brakes exactly the same thing happened - brakes failed, car accelerated, emergency braking didn’t function, Forward collision warning didn’t work. I drove the car to the edge of sidewalk to stop it. Nobody got hurt but the front of the car was damaged. I took it to Honda to investigate the brake failure. First the dealer said they checked and there was nothing wrong we can take to car. Later Honda America told the dealer, the car is not safe and we can’t get it back until they send an expert to check. After the expert, service people at the dealership said the car was OK. The problem could be an unsecured floor mat that interfered with the brakes and that is why brakes failed. We asked why the emergence brakes didn’t work. They said “when you pushed the brake the computer has a message that brakes are pushed and emergency brakes don’t come on functioning”. We removed the moveable floor mat and asked for the expert report. They told me he didn’t write a report. Later when I confronted Honda America they said there was a written report but I did not have the right to see it. Honda America also refused any responsibility saying it was up to the insurance company and they were closing the report.I believe Honda America is not acting responsibly. HONDA should share the expert report after the first accident, should investigate what went wrong during the accident, should try to figure out why the brakes failed twice in the same way in a two months period but operated fine in between.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A BIT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING STARTS TO STICK AND IT TAKES A BIT OF EFFORT TO TURN (LIKE IT'S STUCK) AND WHEN YOU DO END UP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU OVERCORRECT. THIS IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. ALSO, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HONDA'S "LANE KEEP ASSIST." THIS PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AFTER A 5 OR 10 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, OR I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. WHERE I LIVE IT'S FAIRLY HOT, SO HEAT MAY PLAY A FACTOR INTO THIS.

WE PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CIVIC SPORT HATCHBACK IN LATE SPRING OF LAST YEAR. WHILE DRIVING IT IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, IT CONSISTENTLY COLLECTS SNOW AND ICE IN THE WHEEL WELLS TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS ACTUALLY CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE INNER WHEEL WELL AND CAUSES CONSISTENT RUBBING AND BURNING SMELLS DUE TO THE ICE RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE. THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP (GARBER HONDA IN ROCHESTER) AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURER (AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE COMPANY) IS THAT THIS IS DUE TO 'OUTSIDE INFLUENCES' AND IS THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY THEM. THE ISSUE IN QUESTION IS REGARDING THE MATERIAL DESIGN AND THE INABILITY TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS IN WESTERN NEW YORK. THE INNER WHEEL WELL IS MADE OF SOME TEXTURED, ALMOST 'CLOTH LIKE' MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS FOR SNOW AND ICE TO STICK AND BUILD UP VERY QUICKLY. AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES IN SNOWY CONDITION, WE NEED TO PULL OVER TO TRY AND KNOCK SOME OF THE SNOW OFF SO THAT IT DOESN'T RUB AGAINST THE TIRE. THE COLLECTION OF ICE AND NOW HAS ACTUALLY RIPPED OFF THE INNER WHEEL WELL ON ONE SIDE AND IS STARTING TO AFFECT THE OTHER SIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE TO ANYONE DRIVING IN SNOW.

AT 2025 MILES MY 2018 CIVICTHAT I HAD FOR 2ISH MONTHS STARTED SMELLING LIKE FUEL IN THE CAB. SO I LOOKED IT UP AND THE EARTH DREAMS MOTOR IS HAVING OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS AND IT IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND MY CAR A QUART OVERFULL WITH FUEL IN MY OIL. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE IT A FREE OIL CHANGE AND SAID THAT THERE IS NO FIX ANDIT IS NORMAL. THE OIL VISCOSITY WILL DETERIORATE EVENTUAL LEAVING ME WITHA KNOCK OR DISABLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE A CRASH OR SICKNESS WHEN THE NOXIOUS GAS SMELL COMES BACK. I HAVE NOW PUT 450 MILES ON IT SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND AM SMELLING FUEL IN MY OIL AGAIN.

THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS COVER COMPOSITION IS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS. SQUIRRELS CHEWED INTO THE HARNESS LEADING TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE ENTIRE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO THE SOY BASED WIRE COATING. THE FAILURE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE AT SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN ROUGH IDLE AND DANGEROUS HESITATION WHEN MERGING. LOCAL DEALER ADVISES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING THE UK ASSEMBLED CIVIC HATCH BACK. ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT IS $900.00 AS THIS IS NOT COVERED BY HONDA.

WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET (SPEED LIMIT 35) WHEN SUDDENLY NEITHER THE BRAKES NOR STEERING WORKED. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS HYDROPLANING, BUT THE ROADS WERE NOT WET AND IT WASN'T RACING. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. FINALLY THE STEERING REENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE THE CAR SO I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD AND NOT GOING VERY FAST.

I PURCHASED A HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK FROM WILLETT HONDA SOUTH IN MORROW, GA ON 8/29/2018. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO THE MY HOME. THAT DISTANCE BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND MY HOME IS LESS THAN 20 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ON 8/30/2018, AND I SPENT APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS IN THE AT THE WILLETT HONDA WAITING FOR THE REPAIR. THE SAME WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. WILLETT HONDA SENT A LOANER CAR TO MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICHLE FOR ONE DAY, 8/31/2018. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL 9/5/2018. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. ROTATING THE TIRES AND ADJUSTING THE AIR IN THE TIRES IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I SAT NEXT TO A LADY WITH HER CAR IN THE SHOP AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING THE HONDA, THE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED, BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE A BRAND NEW VEHICHLE BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHOP. THE CAR WAS NOT DISCOUNTED TO ME FOR HAVING A FAULTY SYSTEM INSTALLED INTO THE CAR BY HONDA.

ON THE AFTERNOON OF 8/21/2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) TO PICK UP MY SON FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AS I WAS MOVING THROUGH THE CAR RIDER LINE (WHICH IS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE), I TURNED ON THE BRAKE HOLD ASSIST FEATURE SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I'M WAITING IN LINE. AS MY SON IS ENTERING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THE CAR STARTS ROLLING FORWARD. AS I TURN FORWARD AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES, THERE IS A YOUNG BOY AN INCH AWAY FROM MY BUMPER. THEN LIGHTS APPEAR ON MY DASH DISPLAY INDICATING THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO). THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT BOTH MY SON AND THE CHILD IN FRONT OF MY CAR COULD BOTH HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. IF HONDA'S BRAKE HOLD ASSIST FEATURE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FAIL SUDDENLY IN THIS FASHION, IT SHOULD NOT BE A FEATURE IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. IT PROVIDES DRIVER'S WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, BUT WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS THE BRAKE SUDDENLY DISENGAGES ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY.

THE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SEAT CONFIGURATIONS OF THESE HONDA CIVICS CAUSE SEVERE BACK PAIN, AS DIAGNOSED BY MY DOCTOR AND CHIROPRACTOR. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX WEEKS AND HAVE SPENT > 20 HOURS GETTING XRAYS, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND VARIOUS RE-ALIGNMENT TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THE UNSAFE AND HARMFUL CONFIGURATION OF THESE SEATS. PER THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THEY STATED THAT THESE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SEAT SHAPES COMPLY WITH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAGS. HOWEVER, NHSTA AND OTHERS HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE "HYPOTHETICAL WHIPLASH", THEY ARE PROMOTING ACTUAL, WIDESPREAD, SEVERE DAMAGE TO DRIVERS.

THE ISSUE IS WITH THE "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION" (RDM)SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM MAY HAVE BEEN WORKING AS DESIGNED: BUT IF SO IT CREATED A CORRECTION THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE OCCURRED AT A POINT WHERE THE ROAD ABRUPTLY CHANGES FROM A SINGLE LANE TO A THREE-LANE ROAD. THE THREE-LANE ROAD HAS A SOLID DIVIDER BETWEEN THE THREE WEST-BOUND LANES AND THE THREE-EAST BOUND LANES. THE NORMAL PROCEDURE IS TO ENTER THE THREE-LANE GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND THEN MOVE TO THE RIGHT AS DESIRED TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE OR RIGHT-HAND LANE. IN OTHER WORDS THE SINGLE-LANE ROAD MERGERS INTO THE LEFT-HAND LANE IF YOU KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS I APPROACHED THE TRANSITION POINT THE RDM SUDDENLY PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT (CREATING ABOUT A 30 DEGREE CHANGE IN DIRECTION) AND APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING. IF THAT ACTION HAD OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A CAR ON MY RIGHT IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION. SINCE THERE WAS AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN LANE MARKINGS AND THE SOLID CENTER DIVIDER CLOSE AHEAD; I SUSPECT THE RDM INTERPRETED THAT SITUATION AS "I WAS ABOUT TO CRASH INTO SOMETHING". THE OWNER'S GUIDE SAYS IT WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT IT DID. BUT IN THIS CASE IT COULD HAVE REPLACED ONE TYPE OF CRASH WITH ANOTHER TYPE OF CRASH; OR MORE IMPOTENTLY CREATED A CRASH THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL !!

Chart Analysis

The blue line shows 603 total NHTSA complaints filed over 9 years, with the worst year being 2024 (227 complaints, including 3 crash reports).

The amber reliability line averaged 27/100 across the vehicle's life — dropping as low as 10 in 2018 when complaint severity peaked.

Notably, despite 603 complaints on file, no recall has been issued — either the defect pattern has not met NHTSA's threshold for a formal campaign, or a recall may be forthcoming.

Red dots on the amber line flag 8 years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.

ACTIVESPECIAL COVERAGE18-003
Honda 1.5T Oil Dilution Extended Coverage
Engine – 1.5L VTEC Turbo (L15B7) / Oil System
COVERAGE:10 years / 100,000 miles from original sale date (selected cold-climate states)

In cold climates, the 1.5L turbocharged engine allows gasoline to enter the engine oil during short trips, causing the oil level to rise above the maximum mark and reducing lubrication effectiveness. Honda issued a special warranty coverage program for vehicles primarily operated in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

HOW TO CLAIM: Contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or visit a Honda dealer. Coverage is tied to primary registration state. Request inspection for oil level above full mark, gasoline smell from dipstick, and PCV system update. Ask about Software Update 18-003.

Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
