The same components appear in both official NHTSA recalls and owner-filed complaints — a double-confirmed failure signal.
1.5L VTEC Turbo: documented gasoline fuel diluting engine oil in cold climates — Honda extended warranty and class action settlement
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.
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.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.

The steering wheel drifts and the power steering light comes on
The contact's father owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the A/C unit was blowing warm air while activated. Due to the failure, the defroster system failed to clear the glass as intended. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the mechanic discovered that the A/C compressor shaft seal and the A/C evaporator were inoperable. The mechanic also discovered that flammable gas was leaking from the A/C evaporator system into the cabin of the vehicle. The contact was informed that the A/C compressor shaft seal was covered under warranty; however, the A/C evaporator was not covered. The dealer submitted a Goodwill request to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer agreed to cover 75% of the cost of the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact opened a Goodwill request for assistance; however, the manufacturer denied the request. The contact was provided with a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.
Steering wheel is sticky during highway driving. While making minor turns or changing lanes the steering wheel intermittently has issues driving straight.
I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding my 2017 Honda Civic, which is experiencing a serious steering issue that appears to be consistent with a known defect currently under recall for similar vehicles. When driving at speeds above approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel becomes noticeably “sticky” or resistant, making it difficult to maintain smooth and controlled steering. This condition creates a safety concern, particularly at highway speeds, as it affects the vehicle’s responsiveness and handling. I understand that there is an existing recall related to steering issues affecting certain Honda Civic models. However, my vehicle’s VIN is not currently included in the recall population, despite exhibiting the same symptoms described in those cases. Given that this appears to be a widespread and documented issue, I believe my vehicle may also be affected by the same underlying defect. I am concerned that I have to pay out of pocket for a repair that is directly related to a known safety issue already acknowledged in other vehicles of the same make and model. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter, investigate whether the recall scope should be expanded, and take appropriate action to ensure all affected vehicles are covered. I am happy to provide additional details, including my VIN, maintenance records, or further documentation upon request. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
When I'm driving on the hwy or interstate after a while. Maybe 30 minutes to an hour. The steering wants to jerk either left or right. If I'm trying to drive straight and give it a little correction it'll grab and pull either direction. No warning lights or anything or that sort. But it has almost made me wreck several times. Especially in high traffic areas
Leading up to and while on a 12 hour road trip, it was noticed that the steering seemed to “stick”, requiring additional force to get the steering wheel to initially move from a resting position. This caused rapid and inconsistent adjustments in the steering of the vehicle. Luckily we have not gotten into an accident as of yet, but every time I drive the vehicle I become anxious that the steering may give out or become so stuck that to much force is used to turn the wheel, potentially causing an accident. Remaining on a straight path has become dramatically more difficult as small adjustments are not possible, meaning that the skips in steering cause the vehicle to begin veering off into adjacent lanes. This is not safe. Newer models were recalled for this reason, so recall the 10th generation of civics too.
The AC Evaporator failed, this is after the condenser and compressor failed twice, which are also known issues within Honda's AC system. A failed evaporator can cause the windshield foggy issues and cause drivers visibility issue which endangers driver and passengers. Yes dealer has diagnosed the issue. There was no warning of the failure, and there are already many reports about this part failing. Honda refused to cover it under their warranty.
Steering is sticking at highway speeds. Have to jerk the steering wheel to correct. Is getting worse. Many are reporting this problem.
The head gasket failed on my 2017 Honda civic after 110,000 miles I had the Honda dealership of Decatur fix the head gasket and it failed again after 36,000 miles this appears to be a massive issue Honda is having with these cars. And mine and other’s safety were put into risk because the car went into limp mode while I was driving on the interstate and yes the dealership confirmed that the head gasket has failed again after replacement and no it has not been inspected by anyone yet and no there was no warning of it failing before the car went into limp mode while I was doing highway speeds
At highway speeds, steering wheel seems to get stuck with minor corrections, then suddenty "gives way" causing a dangerous overcorrection which alters the course of the vehicle. Vehicle does not have lane-keeping technology. Widely reported on 10th gen civic forums, i'm not alone.
This has been occurring for many months. Experience STICKY STEERING! Seems to be air temperature and speed related. The steering is fine initially until I've driven 10-15 miles. The sticking occurs with High ambient air temps and speed over approx. 35 MPH, and progressively worse at highway speeds. Only occurs with steering wheel input from wheel center position. Initial wheel input resistance, then a break to smooth. An opposite wheel input is then necessary to correct the over steering created by the sticking. I believe there is a Honda recall for identical problems for 2017 and 2018 Honda Civic, but my VIN is NOT included. The recall pertains to the steering rack gearbox, referencing the gear and lube, and in some instances replacement of the entire steering rack. This problem is commonly discussed by Civic owners across the internet. I believe there is potential of this causing serious accident and injury, and should be recalled.
The 10th generation Honda Civic's have multiple extended warranties from Honda for bad Air Compressors and Condensers. And the A/C Evaporator needs to be included in this. My car only has 60,000 miles on it, is not driven daily, and my A/C Evaporator is leaking Freon due to a bad part. The parts for these A/C systems were designed poorly and degrade too quickly.
Car has only 45,000 miles. Steering suddenly “sticks” on the highway. You have to apply pressure to break it out of sticking in the middle position. Seems to be EPS system. Saw on line that it’s a known issue.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the steering wheel became very stiff. The vehicle was driven slowly to the residence. The vehicle was then driven to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with a steering gear box failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 152,000.
When driving my car the steering wheel was sticking really bad I had to use both hands just to keep it in control. I’m only on disability so when the McConnell Honda car here in Montgomery Al said it wasn’t the year that was recalled for this problem and it would cost me over 4600.00 I was floored. 2016 was recalled not 2017 . This is a safety problem and I’m asking you to help me get it fixed please.Sincerely Connie Mitchell
Steering wheel is sticking really bad on my 2017 Honda civic. Why is it not on the recall list?
While driving in normal or sport mode, the steering wheel would stick and not steer fluid or smooth. Like the steering was getting stuck on a gear.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and was sticking. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel became difficult to turn while driving at high speeds. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted, but the failure recurred days later. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,490.
The air conditioning system failed due to recurring evaporator leaks in my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. The evaporator is available for inspection upon request.AC failure causes interior fogging in humid/rainy conditions, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk. In extreme heat (e.g., over 100°F), it leads to driver fatigue, discomfort, distraction, and potential heat-related health issues, endangering occupants and other road users.Yes, confirmed twice: First in 2021 by an Honda service center (evaporator leak at 41,000 miles, repaired for $2,000). Second in early 2026 by a Honda dealer (recurrent evaporator leak at 100,000 miles, repaired for $2,500).Inspected by Honda via Customer Service Case, which was denied. No inspections by police, insurance, or others. No warning lamps or messages. Symptoms included gradually weakening cold air output and unusual odors from vents. First appeared ~2 weeks before full failure in 2021; similar in 2026, starting ~1 month prior. This is a known defect in 2016-2021 Civics with hundreds of similar complaints. Honda's extensions cover related parts but not evaporators. Total costs: $4,500. Please investigate for recall. Contact for receipts.
The car stalls upon acceleration while driving. At times it will stall in the middle of the road; skipping repeatedly or simply not accelerating at all. There are often no warning signs at all, though when it skips repeatedly upon acceleration, the engine check light will appear. The car can be available for inspection upon request.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic equipped with Hankook Tires, Tires Line: New Englander 4S, Tire Size: 215/50/R17, DOT Number: [XXX] . The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the front tires started wobbling. The contact stated that the failure persisted while driving 45 MPH. The vehicle was taken to Town Fair Tire, where the tires were purchased. The front passenger's tire weight was replaced; however, the failure persisted while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the tire dealer had attempted to sell replacement tires to the contact; however, the contact noticed that the replacement tires that the dealer was selling were dented and wobbly upon rolling the tires on the floor. The contact declined to purchase the tires. The vehicle was taken to Firestone, where the front tires were replaced with new tires. The tires were replacement tires. The manufacturer was not contacted. The tire failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 160,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The electric power steering intermittently resists driver input during low-speed maneuvers and near full-lock turns. Steering effort suddenly increases and feels as if assist is being applied against driver input. This behavior matches the failure description in Honda EPS torque sensor magnet recall (2017–2018 Civic / CR-V, campaign C2N / P20). Honda confirmed my VIN is excluded, but the vehicle demonstrates identical safety symptoms. This condition reduces vehicle controllability and presents a crash risk
Have a 2017 Honda Civic and my fob has been having issues for months now. Randomly works for turning my car on not responding to remote ignition or when I walk up to my car, it doesn’t recognize my fob so my door won’t unlock. I have to keep pushing different buttons to make it register or I’ll hit my fob on my palm and kind of jar it and sometimes that will make it work. This is a common problem.

Steering is sticky and jerky Dangerous at high speeds bc it’s difficult to keep the car in the lane because of significant jerking
The paint is peeling from my Honda civic hatchback EXL. The color is sonic gray. The paint started to peel off slowly and hasn’t stopped. The side view mirror covers is where I noticed the peeling first. Then under the hood and door handles. Upon further inspection I noticed that rust had developed in the door jambs of the liftgate as well. Other areas that look like will start peeling are the fenders and hood. Dealer has inspected car but won’t address issue because this color hasn’t been recalled. Called Honda and they say the paint warranty has expired and this color hasn’t been recalled.
POWER STEERING (EPS) HAS OCCASIONAL STICKING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONE HONDA DEALER CONFIRMED BUT NO SERVICE DOCUMENTATION COMPLETED AS VIN NOT ON MANUFACTURER RECALL. HONDA HAS SHOWN ZERO INTEREST NOR CONCERN OF VEHICLES NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR TSB OF STEERING RACK ISSUES. HONDA DEALERS PREFER NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY CUSTOMERS WHO SHOW CONCERN FOR A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE ON STEERING RACK ISSUES, YES, EVEN IN MY CASE EITHER REFUSING TO INSPECT VEHICLE OUTRIGHT OR REFUSING TO DOCUMENT IF A PROBLEM IS FOUND. ADD THIS, BECAUSE VIN IS NOT ON LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES, DEALERS LEAVE IT UP TO AMERICAN HONDA TO HANDLE, WHICH THEY DO NOT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO BRING MY VEHICLE BACK AS DEALERS WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT.
In the middle of last year, at 44K miles, I noticed my steering was "twitchy". It feels like a magnet is sticking and results in constant steering inputs. This issue has gotten worse overtime and I took it to the dealer in September. They said there was a recall for steering malfunction on several Honda vehicles, but not mine. Reading information online, there are lots of complaints and concerns for multiple years and Honda models that EXACTLY match what I am experiencing. Why are some VIN's begin recalled but mine when I have the same symptoms??? This issue is dangerous at highway at speed. I just drove 500 miles this weekend and had to constantly move the wheel left/right, left/right to maintain my lane. It's exhausting, the steering feels heavy, twitchy and does not hold a straight line. Sometimes you can feel it twitch sitting at a stop light. My car is in MINT condition, garage kept, perfectly maintained and never abused. This is not a wear item. A steering rack should not be replaced at such low mileage. But most importantly, it is dangerous at highway speed and requires EXTREME FOCUS to keep the car in the lane. I will not let my two boys drive this car. I hope this is addressed by NHTSA to prevent injuries or death.
2017 Honda Civic EX steering wheel is sticky on highway speed and feels very stiff during turns
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the Electronic Power Steering, Evaporative Emission Control System, Check Engine, and Antilock Braking System lights were illuminated; however, the contact had not experienced any failures or malfunctions while operating the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,192.
When driving at any speed, there is noticeable jerking in the power steering whenever making minor movements on the steering wheel. Rather than smoothly adjust the direction for the vehicle, this jerking will forcibly redirect the vehicle to move in the direction the steering wheel was turned. This results in the inability to smoothly drive straight and results in unpredictable jerking movements, which is a huge safety issue at high speeds. Similar recalls for this problem have been issued for other years of Honda Civics, but not for the 2017 one.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or making a turn, the steering wheel was shaking abnormally, and the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. A dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number:18V663000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 61,724.
Experiencing what is described as sticky steering. Driving the car on the highway the steering feels stuck and hard to maneuver, making correction tricky. This is dangerous and mostly occurs when driving on the highway at high speed.
I am experiencing what is described as STICKY STEERING. This has been a consistent problem over the last several months. The ONLY time it sticks is when minute inputs to maintain straight are necessary. There is initial resistance to any input of the steering wheel (from straight ahead center) at the time of correction, and then that resistance breaks, resulting in over correction. Left or Right inputs are identical. This only occurs while attempting to maintain straight. It is not evident while making turns, nor do I feel ANY resistance, or breaking while turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was sticking. The steering wheel was pulling in one direction and jerking, causing the contact to make corrections to center the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure had become more prevalent at highway speeds. Additionally, the TPMS warning light illuminated after the tires were replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
The A/C system in my Honda 2017 failed. The compressor was covered under Honda’s extended warranty, but the evaporator, which was also leaking, was not covered even though both are part of the same system. This seems to be a common issue. A/C failure can seriously affect comfort and safety in hot and humid conditions, especially when it impacts defogging and visibility. I believe this should be investigated as a potential safety concern.
After driving the car at highway speed for about 30 minutes the steering wheel feels sticky and hard to maneuver. This is dangerous and occurs any time the car has been driven on the highway for a while.
Over the last few months I’ve noticed my 2017 Civic SI steering feeling delayed or episodically unresponsive while driving on the interstate. The best way to describe it is as momentarily sticking where it doesn’t respond when making small steering movements requiring an over correction then correction to the over correction. I’m reading this a known issue with civics but aren’t seeing the 2017s included. The car feels unsafe when this happens. Is it possible to include this model as well?
I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback and the dangerous issue related to its air conditioning (A/C) system — a problem affecting many Civic owners nationwide. I initially brought my vehicle to Honda City Chicago for a Honda “campaign” repair (a term they use instead of calling it a recall) in 2023 and again this year, related to the A/C system. I was told the issue would be resolved. However, after agreeing to an optional transmission oil change they recommended, I was later told the A/C still wasn’t fixed — and that I now needed to pay $400 for a diagnostic. That diagnostic revealed the actual problem: a locked A/C compressor. (Which they knew they just wanted the money) This defect is not just an inconvenience — it’s a serious safety hazard. When the A/C is turned on, the locked compressor causes the engine to shake violently and stall completely. This happened to me at a red light; the car shut off, became unresponsive, and I was stuck blocking traffic. If this had occurred while driving at higher speeds, the consequences could have been catastrophic. Many Civic owners have reported similar compressor failures leading to engine stalls and unsafe driving conditions. Honda is aware of this issue but continues to treat it as isolated rather than a systemic defect. I urge the NHTSA to open a formal investigation into this widespread and dangerous issue involving locked A/C compressors in 2016–2020 Honda Civics. A safety recall is warranted before more drivers are put at risk or harmed due to this known defect.
This vehicle has a defect in the steering rack, specifically the gearbox. Symptoms include sticky or glitchy steering movements of the steering wheel. This cases jerky adjustments in steering the car. Honda has known about this issue with 10th generation civics but has only addressed models 2022-2025 with a recalls. This car is an effort to drive at highway speeds.
My steering wheel kept jerking and pulling my car while driving and I was told my steering gearbox needs replaced. I find it odd that this was a recall on all 2017 Honda Civic but not with mine. I would think if the recall is there and a vehicle the same year has the problem, there would be an issue to resolve
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud screeching sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the screeching sound stopped. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,646.
The Body Control Module (BCM) is faulty and causes the alarm to go off on its own, lights inside the cluster glitch turning on by itself and drains the battery even with the key fob nowhere near its vicinity when off. Sometimes does not recognize the key fob.
Sticky steering wheel. It gets worse to steer above 50 to 60 miles an hour. Noise when it is turned. The steering has once locked when turned to an extreme angle.
The steering feels like it is sticking, having to correct it all the time to keep a lane.
The steering wheel is sticking in my 2017 Civic. This problem happens more frequently after I have been driving for a while and is more common at speeds above 40 mph. The steering wheel will feel "locked" in place and require force to turn the wheel. It feels sticky and heavy, and occurs especially often on the freeway, leading to dangerous situations where I have to jerk the wheel, either causing my car to deviate from my path, or not allowing me to respond to changing road conditions in time. The steering column is still original and has not been previously repaired. These symptoms sound surprisingly like NHTSA recall # 4V-744, though my vehicle falls outside of the model range. Potentially defective parts include the electric power steering rack, the gearbox worm wheel, or a clock spring. It has not been replicated at a dealer despite multiple inspections, but I finally got a video of it happening. It has been happening for about a year, but has been getting worse. I checked my tire inflation multiple times and it has not resolved the problem. No warning lamps, message, or other symptoms have been reported.
There is a recall for 2022-2025 Honda civics for gearbox repair/sticky steering issues and my year 2017 is NOT included. I’ve had this issue since I bought my car from Phillipsburg/Easton Honda on October 3, 2023. I thought it was unique to this car until I looked it up online and noticed that several car owners have the same issue. I feel that N HTSA need to look into it and add 2017 Honda Civic to this recall. A mechanic told me it could cost upwards over $2300 to make this repair. How is a normal person supposed to afford such an expensive repair. I purchased a Honda for the first time in my life wanting an affordable good car and it’s been nothing but a headache since I purchased it. I am worried that because I drive the everyday on the highway, I will get into an accident one day because if the steering sticking issue… PLEASE HELP
I brought my 2017 Honda Civic to an authorized dealership in Phoenix, AZ in June 2025 for A/C issues. Honda has issued an extended warranty on A/C compressors and condensers due to known defects, and my compressor was found to be leaking and covered under that warranty. However, the dealership refused to perform the warranty repair unless I agreed to pay $2,311 out of pocket to replace the evaporator, citing signs of dye in the evaporator case. I declined, and the compressor repair was denied. When I picked up the vehicle, the A/C system was worse than before. Before the inspection, the driver side blew 90°F air and the passenger side blew 68°F. After the inspection, both sides blow extremely hot air and there is a loud hissing noise coming from the dash. I now cannot operate the vehicle safely in 110°F+ Arizona heat. This is not just an inconvenience — it’s a potential safety hazard, particularly in a state like Arizona where cabin temperatures can become dangerous. Honda’s refusal to honor the warranty and deterioration of system function following the inspection suggest bad faith and put driver and passenger health at risk. I am filing this report to document the issue and to add to any investigation into this widespread A/C defect on 2016–2018 Honda Civics.
The steering wheel of the vehicle often feels like it gets stuck around the 12 o’clock position frequently. Extra force is needed to correct steering. Then you have to correct the correction. The symptoms occur more often than not. This condition was discovered shortly after purchasing the used car. Honda dealer said steering rack would need replaced. The vehicle does not display any codes or service warnings. Since there are no recalls on this VIN#, I assume this will NEVER cause an accident to the occupants or others on the road.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to turn in the intended direction. The contact stated that the steering wheel felt like it was sticking. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.
I have owned my 2017 Honda Civic LX since it was new and have maintained the car consistently since purchasing it; the car is lightly driven and while over seven years old, only has 28,000 miles on it. In recent months, I had experienced some odd occurrences on the highway of my steering wheel seeming to stick when driving at highway speeds especially noticeable after driving the car for at least 10-15 minutes; there were no warning lights or other alerts on the car of a problem. I took my car to be evaluated at a Honda dealership service center in early May, as it was difficult to control the car within highway lanes, very dangerous especially in windy conditions. In that diagnostic appointment, a certified Honda mechanic verified the suspected cause of a sticky steering wheel - a failing steering rack. The mechanic could not explain why that part would fail, especially in a car with such low miles, as they said the problem was internal and could not be visualized. This is a known issue, and not just for the Civics and some other models from 2022-2025 for which there was a recall issued, but for the same generation Civics that mine is; there are many reports of 2016-2018 Civics having this issue around the 20-30,000 mile mark. After that diagnosis and being unwilling to pay out of pocket for an issue related to an internal component of an original Honda part, I reached out to Honda customer service. After spending a couple weeks communicating with Honda Customer Service and proving all the maintenance and diagnostics on the vehicle, they are unwilling to acknowledge this as an issue and have dismissed my case. I am asking that Honda be held accountable for this faulty part and stand by their brand and consumer safety, as this issue has led to crashes in Honda's with this defect.
The steering is sticky, especially when driving on the highway in a straight line. It feels as though the steering wheel is locked and you have to apply extra pressure to free it. This can cause the car to jerk and oversteer. It feels very unsafe.
My paint has been coming off for a while now and now I have serious rust issues. I have gone in for inspection at the local Honda dealership and they recommended for me to contact Honda of America. I contacted them and they said that there was nothing that they could do. I shouldn't have to fork out money for a bad paint job. My car is rusting. Please help me.
Drivers Side Air Conditioning does not work, blows warm air instead of cold.
The air conditioning system failed—specifically, the A/C evaporator developed a leak and stopped functioning. This is part of the same system that previously experienced failures in the compressor and condenser, both of which were replaced under warranty. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Loss of air conditioning, especially in hot weather, presents a heat-related safety risk, including reduced driver alertness and potential heat exhaustion—particularly for long drives or when transporting vulnerable passengers (e.g. children, elderly). Additionally, a non-functioning defogger (which relies on the A/C system) can impair visibility in humid or rainy conditions, increasing the risk of an accident.
I'm filing this complaint regarding my 2017 Honda Civic Touring (VIN: [XXX] , ~75,000 miles). The AC condenser failed, which Honda covered under an extended warranty (TSB 19-091). However, the AC compressor also failed, and Honda denied coverage, even for goodwill. I believe the compressor failure is a direct result of the leaking condenser with a possible compressor seal leak. Refrigerant loss causes the compressor to overwork and lose lubrication, leading to premature failure. The car mechanic had noted how low our refrigerant fluid was. A compressor should last well beyond 73,000 miles, typically 100,000-150,000+. This early failure, linked to a known condenser defect, points to a systemic manufacturing flaw. Furthermore, the dealership's "blue light" test for leaks might have been inadequate. Honda's TSB 23-012 specifically requires a "calibrated sniffer" for compressor shaft seal leaks, a more rigorous diagnostic that may have been overlooked. This means a compressor seal leak, caused by the condenser issue, could have been missed. Widespread AC component failures (condensers and compressors) in 10th-gen Civics are well-documented, leading to class-action lawsuits. This is not an isolated incident but a pervasive defect. A sudden AC failure affects driver comfort and can be a safety concern, especially in extreme heat, by potentially causing distraction. I urge NHTSA to investigate this systemic issue and compel Honda to cover the compressor replacement, acknowledging the direct link and apparent manufacturing defect.

There is a steering issue with this car and there are numerous complaints of this online. The steering as become very "sticky". This causes the need for constant steering corrections to be made often times causing over corrections because of the sticky nature of the wheel. This is very unsafe and can lead to accidents on the road. I have read this is an issue with the EPS system on the car.
Bottom window molding on all 4 windows fails prematurely, seemingly happening on every 10th-Generation Honda.
After turning off the vehicle and locking it the vehicle continuously turns on to accessory mode on its own. On a few occasions I came out to a dead battery or have been woken up more than once to my alarm blaring in the middle of the nite and when I came out to check my vehicle it was usually turned on to accessory mode upon researching the internet I found that many owners with the 2016 and 2017 have the same problem which is a result of a faulty Body Control Module within the keyless entry system. I have taken my car to honda to be fixed it's been 3 days now with no solution on repairs yet.6/7/25
Leaking somewhere near condenser for the air conditioning
There is no cold air blowing from my AC
When driving at high speeds (60+ mph) for longer distances (10+ miles), the steering wheel becomes "sticky". When minor adjustments are attempted, the steering wheel will resist turning until a significant amount of force is applied, then it will suddenly "unstick" causing overcorrection. This makes it difficult maintain lane safely. No warning lights active. Inspected by manufacturer and they could not reproduce, however they may not have driven it at high speeds for long enoug.
While driving my Honda civic 2017, a loud static noise suddenly started coming from the vehicle’s audio system or speakers. The noise is persistent and does not stop unless I turn off the vehicle completely. This creates a significant distraction and could interfere with hearing emergency vehicles or other road sounds. This issue occurs randomly and is a serious safety concern.
The Passenger side Air Bag Inflator failure
Steering feels notchie or sticky at speed on warm days. It makes very difficult to fine control the vehicle lane position. Several pounds of force are required to break free and move the wheel. The condition at first would show randomly, but is much more noticeable and frequent lately. It does this in the counterclockwise direction. It shows up on straight line driving. I am sure to the observes it looks like my vehicle is driven by an intoxicated driver.Same exactly as Honda reference C2N and P2O, but my car was not included in the recall.
For at least 6-9 months the Steering has been Notchy and freezes then releases. For part of a second, the car refuses to respond to my steering input. Very Scary and getting worse.
The issue I’m having is that the break red light in the orange brake system just appears randomly without me activating the break. on one occasion I parked the car without seeing any of those signals, then upon me coming out of the store, both signals appeared on the dashboard. my car was stuck in break four hours. After continuously, activating the electronic brake and inactivating it I was able to drive home. I am currently driving day two with both signals flashing on my dashboard. The wheels are rolling and not dragging so I’m not sure what’s going on. This is a safety hazard for not only myself or family, but for other drivers on the road because if this decides to just stop in the middle of the road activating the brakes I’m going to be in trouble and hopefully not life threatening trouble.
Came out to a dead battery, despite the battery being less than four months old. On one occasion, I came out to the vehicle with the windows rolled down. On another occasion, I was told there was an issue with the anti-theft system. There was even a time where I came out to my car in accessory mode, despite not turning the vehicle on. Reading online, all signs point to a failure of the BCM. This is a common enough issue where there are entire threads dedicated to the problem.
The issue I am having on my 2017 Honda Civic is steering issues. Especially when it is warmer, the steering sticks and is jerky when trying to keep it in a straight line. It feels very unsafe and unstable driving especially on a highway at a higher speed limit. When needing to make a slight merge, with the steering sticking, you feel it jerk when you have to merge. This has happened constantly since last summer.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING MECHANISM HAS FAILED/STALLED ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. INCLUDING THE PASSENGER AND BACK RIGHT DOOR. YES, IT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I HAVE BEEN ROBBED. MY DOORS DO NOT LOCK ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHILE DRIVING*. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? NO. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NO. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO, AND THERE STILL ISNT.
The paint is flaking off in big chunks around the back window!!
My AC started blowing hot air in 2023. I checked in with Honda and apparently they extended the warranty on the compressor shaft seal and condenser due to a class action lawsuit and other customer complaints. It turned out that both of those parts were affected in my vehicle and I got a free replacement. A year later my AC started blowing hot air again. This time the evaporator was the problem. Apparently it was not covered by warranty, and according to Honda the reason was that the compressor and condenser were separate from the evaporator, which meant the issues weren’t related. Upon research, the evaporator going bad is a common issue with Honda. I didn’t get the part replaced and paid $200 to Honda for the inspection.
The AC condenser, compressor, blower, & evapoartor core all broke down. After repair, I’m still receiving a “fog horn noise” audiable sound. This is dangerous as I have no A/C in the hot summer. The dealer inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. They will only fix the first two (condensor & compressor) under warranty, which I’m not under warranty. They say Honda won't fix the evaporator core even though this one breaking is almost certainly a result of the condesor & compressor breaking. We believe this should also be covered under warranty. There was no warning of the issue. The evaporator core costs $2k to repair and Honda refuses to help, even though the dealer let us know that this part breaking was almost certainly caused by the parts under warranty breaking down. We asked for second oppinions with other mechanics who told us the same thing. Ended up repairing at a 3rd party shop after spending 45 days within 2 years in the shop for this issue, and paying over $5k in diagnostic and recharged coolant. The lemon law statutes are on the horizon, and the prima facie negligence to avoid repair is on the face of this ongoing issue.
I am experiencing the same issue described in bulletin 18-102 which covers my make, model and year but not my VIN. Honda dealership quoted the same repair as the bulletin, PS rack, at $4,471. Honda America refuses to cover any of the repair even though it is a known safety issue with both the 10th and 11th generation Honda Civics.
My 2017 Honda Civic has notchy/dead spot feeling in steering at wheel center at highway speeds. When this occurs, it causes the driver to overcorrect and loose lane position. It is worse on warmer days. Honda has a Recall already on later models but not early ones, they need to expand the recall. I called my closest dealer, and they said yes, they know of the problem, but my VIN is not affected. The Quote they gave me was $4200 that's crazy when they know of a problem.
Paint is bubbling and peeling around rear window inlay. We noticed it in August 2024, but not sure when it actually started happening. Car was not in an accident, and is in an area where there was never any exterior damage. I contacted honda and they reviewed the case and did not consider it an issue or defect caused by manufacturer. I know honda has had issues with the white paint, but I believe my paint has the same defect due to the location and how the paint is coming off. I also contacted my local honda dealer and they advised normally, for this issue, they would do a courtesy warranty repair, but since we don't service our vehicles there they wouldn't honor that. I want this documented for honda paint issues because I am sure I am not the only one with the problem.
I drove home from work today like normal. Pushed the engine start/stop button before getting out of the car. The radio was still on, and the dash was still on, with Accessory Mode, push "start/stop" twice to turn off, or something similar to that. I pushed the button twice. It went to accessory mode. I started the engine, drove the car out of the drive way, came back, pushed the button to turn off the car... accessory mode. turned the car on, turned the car off.... accessory mode. Moved the keys all away from the car. Started the car (which i could do because it WAS STILL IN ACCESSORY MODE) and drove the car, meanwhile there was a big warning saying there was no key fob in the proximity. Parked the car, pushed the on/off button.... accessory mode. I have tried everything I can think of, the car wont lock. It wont exit accessory mode unless its in full on start. Someone could come along and steal my car because I cant turn it off. all i can do is disconnect the battery and after 2-3 days i connect it and it works just temporarily. This is not ok and unsafe especially when i have a new born and stranded in the middle of the wors place due to this issue.
The A/c evaporator needs to be replaced. It leaks refrigerant.
I am noticing intermittent issues with ADAS with all the following errors pop up at once. The issue comes on randomly and goes back to normal randomly. * Adaptive Cruise Control problem * Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem * Lane Keep Assist Problem * Road Departure Mitigation System Problem * Braking System Error Has not been confirmed by an independent service/dealer/insurance/police. No other warning messages before this.
Had to get the fuel injectors replaced after faulty emissions notifications. Now the car stalls from start at a stop light or stop sign. The car also stalled in stop and go traffic on the highway. We have not been driving it over the winter. It's dangerous!
Our Honda Civic is white. On the right rear quarter panel where the rear window glass meets the quarter panel. The paint is bubbling, flaking and pealing off.
Paint is coming off the car down to the metal. The paint has been recalled on other Honda vehicles. Paint #NH788P. . Several areas where paint has come off when driving on highways behind other vehicles.
The paint started to fade and turn white 3 1/2 years ago. Called Honda and they said they were aware of the paint failure but my color did not have many with that issue and they could not do a recall on my color. Been fighting them for over 3 years and not I have several body parts that are having paint failure
Steering feels like it is sticking slightly left of center. Noticing it more as weather is becoming warmer. It happens at slower speeds, but is more noticeable when I’m driving at faster speeds. When making small adjustments while driving, the steering wheel seems to stick/not operate smoothly. When it gets past the sticking point, it causes oversteer, making me have to overcorrect in the opposite direction. It feels very unsafe to drive, especially at higher speeds. Upon researching, I see this is a common problem and that there are recalls within my year model for this exact issue, but, upon searching my VIN, it doesn’t seem my car is included in the recall. I’m terribly concerned that this defect in the steering is going to lead to an accident. Hopefully, since I’m seeing many of this issue reported in cars not currently included in the recall, the recall will be expanded to include all of our vehicles.
Steering wheel sticks and causes unexpected quick movements left and right. There is a Honda Service bulletin 18-102 however my VIN is coming back with no recall.
When I am driving going above 40 miles per hour, the steering wheel has a slight resistance when making minor corrections. When trying to correct direction in a lane to stay straight, the steering wheel sticks, or catches, and when you get it to move it makes a jerking motion. This is a safety concern, because I am worried that this will ultimately result in an accident as the issue gets worse. My local Honda dealer, as well as a reputable local mechanic have reproduced the issue. The issue first appeared within the last year to two years.
Steering is sticky. At times it takes additional force to turn. Once the additional force overcomes whatever is causing the sticking issue it results in excess steering input which has to be corrected in the opposite direction to avoid running off the road or engine another lane. Vehicle is not under warranty so I have not had it inspected. There are no warnings for the issue.
I have 2017 Honda Civic. March 2023 the electronic power steering was faulty, and the dealership replaced it under warranty. February of 2024, the replacement EPS rack showed signs of sticking and jerking the same manner the original EPS did. Throughout the last year, the steering sticks when driving in curves. Same local dealership that did the first replacement while it was under warranty, now cannot find anything wrong when they drive it and put it on the diagnostic machine. In freezing temperatures of 32 degrees and below, the steering doesn't stick, but temperatures above 45 degrees, the steering sticks every time in a curve. There is something wrong with these EPS racks and I believe when they replaced the original rack, they replaced it with another faulty rack and I am having the same problems and I drive in fear daily and no one is listening to us. I've read the other same exact complaints on this website regarding this issue and most of them are within the last several months. I need someone to help me before the steering rack causes me to crash.
The air conditioning stopped working for the second time. So far the compressor bearing has been replaced as well as the condenser.
My white paint is peeling really bad all over the car and it’s a 2017 Honda civic Lx. Clear coat is coming off along with original base coat. Starting to get rust and this car is not that old.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that a gasoline smell was detected in and around the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the closest independent repair shop and diagnosed with a fuel pump crack/failure. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) but the VIN was not included. The local dealership was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 88,000.
The Power Steering Rack Assembly had to be replaced on my vehicle because the sensors that notify the safety systems of the direction the steering wheel is pointing failed while I was driving my son to school. The result of this failure caused a multiple system failure resulting in an inability to steer the car at speed. The Lane Keep Assist system was actively fighting against my driver input as I was driving, effectively locking the steering wheel in a stationary position. This failure not only put my and my son's life in danger but other drivers on the road as well. This could have very easily caused a severe collision considering the ability to steer a motor vehicle is arguably the most integral part of operating one. The car has decently low mileage for being 7 years old and is well-maintained. This issue occurred suddenly without any prior warning lamps, messages, etc.
We are experiencing a technical issue with the vehicle, which appears to be caused by a software or component error, rather than user error. This situation has led to the car starting unexpectedly and presenting challenges that could compromise safety while driving. Unfortunately, there has yet to be a recall or resolution communicated by the authorities.
When driving straight on a highway, probably 40+ mph, the steering wheel does not respond to small left or right adjustments to maintain a straight line. It feels like the steering wheel is sticky, and takes extra effort to break through the "stickiness." This results in an overcorrection when the steering system finally does respond. This can cause the vehicle to veer slightly into another lane or off the road. I imagine that other drivers may feel I am driving under the influence as the car weaves. The car is available for inspection, however, I have not had the vehicle into service to confirm the issue, nor has the car been inspected by any other party. No warning signs or other symptoms are present.
Paint and finish bubbling and peeling on hood, roof, some on trunk. In the worst spots paint is worn away down to the metal, creating rusting hazard. On hood, peeled paint can blow onto the windshield, interfering with vision and distracting the driver. Vehicle has been inspected by a USAA insurance adjuster and by Rudolf Body and Paint in El Paso, TX.
Cold start up issue where VTC Actuator is rattling and or grinding. This could potentially cause engine failure while starting or driving the vehicle. No check engine light or oil light. VTC Rattle/Grind occurred for 3-4 seconds and then stopped.
The steering on my vehicle has spots where it sticks and I have to use more force to continue. I took it to my local dealer and was told the rack and pinion assembly needed to be replaced. I was also told the part I needed was out of stock and they did not know when it would be back in stock. They said they would order the part when it became available and I have heard nothing from them. My car has 41,000 miles on it. I researched and found a recall on this issue but was told it did not apply to my car. I contacted Honda and was told they would not cover it due to the year on my car even with the low mileage. The car is not safe to drive. The longer you drive it the more it sticks .
Steering wheel gets sticky with slight turns; car drifts while driving highway speeds and the sticky steering causes over correction which causes vehicle to move all over the road. Research done on this shows that this is a known issue with Honda Civics and the fix is to replace the steering rack. Local dealership confirmed this.
The chain stretched and camshaft tensioner had to be replaced. The tech said this could only happen with low or insufficient oil, but every oil change on this car was done on time. There was a previous settlement because this engine has a known defect where fuel gets into the oil. Honda refused to honor the extended warranty agreed to in the settlement because the error codes that came up were PO341 CMP Sensor A and CKP Sensor Incorrect Phase Detected) and we had to pay $2,348.30 for repair of parts (chain, camshaft tensioner) that should have lasted the life of the vehicle without replacement.
I have noticed that the paint on my Honda Civic 2017 is flaking and peeling off. The issue is most apparent on the side of the rear view glass and near the right-side tail light which seems to be worsening over time. It was my sister’s car before she gave it to me. She took care of it before she passed away and now I’ll continue to take good care of her car and have not had any repainting or significant damage in the affected areas that I know of. This seems to be an issue with the paint adhering properly, and I am concerned about further damage, including potential rust which I’m starting to notice. I kindly request that Honda evaluate this as a possible manufacturing defect and let me know if it can be addressed under warranty. Attached are photos of the affected areas for your review. Please let me know the next steps to resolve this issue.
The paint is peeling around the back window. Down to the primer/metal. I first noticed it around 3/15/2022. It first started to bubble. Now it's flaking off. The color of the vehicle is Modern Steel Metallic.
I bought a pair of Bridgestone Weatherpeak tires 006055 Weatherpeak BL215/55R16 93H 70,000 Mile Limited warranty tires from Firestone Complete Autocare in Medina OH Store # 755785 located at 5131 Buehlers Drive Medina OH 44256. The shop manager Alvin told me that these tires were not recalled for safety but that they have abnormal wear. This truly needs looked into because I had to buy an entire new set of tires early due to these tires wearing out early. I came in under the 70,000 mile warranty.
The condensor, compressor & evapoartor core all broke down This is dangerous as this is our family vehicle and we have no A/C in the hot summer The dealer inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. They will only fix the first two (condensor & compressor) under warranty. They say Honda won't fix the evaporator core even though this one breaking is almost certainly a result of the condesor & compressor breaking. We believe this should also be covered under warranty. There was no warning of the issue The evaporator core costs $2k to repair and Honda refuses to help, even though the dealer let us know that this part breaking was almost certainly caused by the parts under warranty breaking down. We asked for second oppinions with other mechanics who told us the same thing.
I previously filed a complaint on this car about the sticky steering. I understand Honda has recalled many cars for this same problem on model years 2020-2023. Why would they not recall my 2017 civic with this very same steering issue. It IS a safety issue, especially at highway speeds.
Steering rack issue being sticky. Dealership has confirmed this problem BUT they are unwilling to fix this because my VIN is not apart of the recall. But I have the problem…. And it was confirm. They are unwilling to fix at covered cost.
The NH-788P White Orchid Pearl Paint that was given an extended warranty due to a "paint peeling problem" on the Fit and HR-V models is now affecting Civics. I currently own a 2017 Civic Hatchback with the same paint, from the same country of manufacturing origin, within the same time frame, and was never given an extension warranty and currently am being denied help. The worst paint peeling, under the trunk, is actually protected from weather ... this is easily a defect that originated from Honda. Honda is denying any responsibility at the moment, refuses to help me via phone calls or email defaulting to the response of "Your car isn't under warranty." even though they have acknowledged issues and provided coverage for different models AND Canada covers my situation unlike the USA: [XXX] Had I know about this defect with my car with an official statement from Honda, it would have impacted my choices back in 2020 and 2021. I would of sold it around 2021 or contacted Honda earlier to settle these issues that would of happened under the extended warranty if I was given one. Honda's constant inaction once again damages consumers everywhere where the repair for paint is roughly 60% of the value of the car itself ...

The has been a recall regarding AC, which I have fixed. Months later and it’s not working again. I’ve also had steering issues. Don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve drove this car for daily commute the past 2 and half years and all of a sudden feel the need to grip my steering wheel because I don’t have full control of it like I used to
I heard there is a recall on newer Honda Civics and I have noticed with my car a "sticky" feeling with the steering wheel. I thought it was just me and when I read the recall this morning I thought oh my gosh that's what my car does! My car would be available for inspection. My car has not been inspected for this issue. I have not had any warning lamps due to this issue.
The current recall affecting 2022 to 2025 vehicles also affects my 2017 Honda Civic. This is also a common issue across Honda forums. My steering sticks, mostly when driving in a straight line or when at highway speeds on a slight left curve. This is especially unnerving when driving in rain and having to force the steering wheel to make slight steering adjustments. I paid to have my dealership perform a wheel alignment hoping this would correct the issue, but it did not help. I did not complain to the local dealership yet about this since the wheel alignment.
My vehicle electronic power steering system failed at 35,000. When driving, it becomes extremely difficult to turn the vehicle. I was told this issue is common among 2017 Honda vehicles, though there are recalls for only 2017-2018 Honda Civic and CR-V vehicles, this model Honda Civic.
Ac evaporator has failed not allowing windshield to defrost and defog properly. It is know issue at this time ac compressor and condenser are covered under extended warranty but not the ac evaporator.
Steering feels sticky/stiff while driving on the highway in a straight line. The steering feels stuck to one side while making adjustments to either direction. This causes the car to "over steer" (not to be confused with actual oversteering the car) in the one direction. This is quite dangerous and you have to be on edge to drive on the highway.
The steering tends to stick when driving at highway speeds. This issue makes small steering movements jerky and causes over corrections
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that while driving at certain speeds, the steering wheel would seize and become inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty or recall. The failure mileage was approximately 89,681.
The paint on my Honda Civic 2017 began peeling off the back window of my vehicle starting in 2022. I've since then paid to have it repaired, but now peeling is starting to occur on other places of the vehicle, such as the front hood, the fender, and the bumper. Honda has already admitted that a manufacturing issue involving the paint on the back window has been reported. This peeling problem is becoming too expensive to handle and Honda will not extend the paint warranty beyond the 3-year time frame. This is a serious issue as having too much of the car body exposed with lead to rusting.
AC system is manufactured poorly and fails on me, starts blowing hot air, every single summer for the past 3+ years i have bought the car from a honda dealer. When i have to drive to my job to afford to buy food and an apartment the hot air makes me light headed and impairs my ability to focus clearly on driving. The problem has been reproduced by countless other civic owners within a set manufactured model years. Yes it has been inspected by a Honda dealership. No, never any warning, messages, or alerts before or during the AC failure. Also no warnings of the faulty AC system when i purchased the car from a certified Honda Dealer.
Steering wheel gets sticky after driving over 50mph. There is already a recall on a certain 2017 Honda civic models but it doesn’t cover my car but the steering wheel issue is still there. This is a safety issue.
Rear left parking brake actuator warning light
Steering sticks and requires a jerky response to correct. Most noticeable when driving on highway but does occur during all types of driving.
A/C Evaporator went bad. Dealership already replaced other A/C components as part of extended warranty/recalls. However, the evaporator is not covered by the extended warranty. Could lead to incredibly high temperatures within the car or other components failing/overheating. Dealership quoted $2400 to fix the evaporator.
The abs speed sensor on honda vehicles are placed in such a way that is breaks often. And when it breaks, it leads to multiple sensors going off which may cause the abs to lock up while braking normally, car accelerating unexpectedly.For me the speed sensor on the right wheel was broken. This lead the car to accelerate unexpectedly and then the sensors would go off. Car accelerating and braking in a weird way would definitely lead to some issues. And when you go to the dealership for this issue, first they won't be able to diagnose it. They will simple reset the codes and say uts an intermittent failure and charge you 100 dollars for nothing. Then you have to go again the other day with the same issue and then they tell you its speed sensor. I think that's a bad service and since honda knows of this beong common issue with how they have placed the sensor it should be recalled.
While driving straight there is slippage in the steering that causes the driver to over compensate. Steering feels loose. I think I need to trade this vehicle in before something bad happens. Honda has very poor customer service. The dealerships are aweful and theives.
The steering starts to stick in place after driving for about 10-15 minutes. I was advised by my Honda dealership that the entire electronic power steering rack needs to be replaced at the cost of $3400.00
Abs module failure. Abs Cruce control Stability control Lights on dashboard.
I’m having a problem with my steering . It’s like it’s sticky and jerky feeling when driving, causing me to have to overcorrect left or right when making slight adjustments to center. Obviously more noticeable with highway driving. Took to Honda they diagnosed it as VSA Module, got it fixed still having the same issue with sticky steering. I don’t feel safe driving my car
There is paint just falling off the drive door in large chucks, and still getting worse.
The drivers seat is loose and wobbles. I first noticed last Monday [XXX]. I keep my car clean & always do routine maintenance. This is a concern incase I get hit seat is already loose. I did research and see it’s an issue for some. There are forums online. It does the same thing wobbles, something is loose near center console under the seat. I took it to the dealer they said my frame broke and it will be 1,200+ to fix… [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
This car has an air conditioning issue. Last year the air conditioning stopped working. took it to the honda dealership and they found an issue with the condenser and seals. they fixed it free of charge due to the extended warranty honda put out. not even a full year later the air conditioning stopped working again. took it back to the honda dealership and turns out it's the evaporator. it's not covered by the extended warranty. they quoted me $3,000 to repair it. honda knows the a/c parts are bad. they dont want to cover it.
About a week ago my car began going into accessory mode on its own leaving my interior and exterior lights, my dash board lights and my head unit on until i noticed so my car couldve been dead if i wouldnt have seen. also since the car is locked and it goes into accessory mode on its own the alarm starts going off due to the security system thinking its being broken into. ive done my research trying to figure out what the issue is and ive found a huge amount of other people are also dealing with this issue. during my research i found that the cause for the car going into accessory mode and the alarms going off is the body control module. so many people are saying they filed complaints and tried to get a hold of honda to try and get a recall started but nothing has come of it and im hoping that you guys can change that. i looked into the body control module and you cant even get the part right now due to very high demand and the part being on back order indefinitely due to so many people dealing with this issue. i hope something can come of this thank you.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the air condition was blowing hot air. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under an unknown recall; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer again, and it was diagnosed that the air condition compressor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the contact was informed that the repair would be out-of- pocket. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
AC leaking Freon inside cabin. Honda is aware that 2016-2019 Honda civics have a bad A/C systems. Other crucial A/C components, such as the condenser and compressor, are covered by an extended 10-year warranty. However, the evaporator, is not. AC unit leaking Freon right into the drivers face. . Making it extremely dangerous and hazardous to operate the vehicle Many articles about this please help? Honda USA is not helping fix and wants to do outrageous changes to get it fix. It is unfair for Honda to leave the most expensive and labor intensive part of this repair to the customer. My deal quoted me $2672 for this repair.
2017 CIVIC AC INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE AC EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND THE CAR ONLY 36,000 MILES ONLY, NO WARRANTY BY HONDA AND THE AC HAS FAILED 4 TIMES AFTER THE RECALL FOR AC CONDENSER. NEED HELP TO MAKE HONDA HELD LIABILITY FOR FAIL AC COMPONENTS SINCE IT HAS BEEN TOO MANY FAILURE WITH THEIR CAR'S AC SYSTEM
BCM module in the 2017 Civics seem to have constant Parasitic Battery Drain issues that are not being addressed by Honda. My battery died and was replaced, drain continue on a daily basis. Was able to trace to BCM module. checked online to find numerous other people having the same exact issue.
My vehicles Body Control Module has malfunctioned and now I have to get a new one. When driving my car will begin to flash all of the warning lights including the power steering, break system, TMPS system and the immobilizer light. This is distracting while driving and it makes me feel like I am going to crash and I could injure myself or others on the road when these lights are distracting and I am not in a safe place to pull over. Honda Marysville has inspected the vehicle and has confirmed that the Body Control Module has failed. A bunch of alerts began to pop up and I was unsure of which ones to fix. I checked all my tires and they were within normal range so I was confused why my car was showing me the warning light. There were no other warnings that were shown. My car alarm would go off and the lights on the dash would flash when I turned my car off.
AC compressor is not working causing the defroster not to work and front wind shield will not defrost during wet /humid weather. Honda's extended warranty bulletin only applies to the condenser not the compressor
The steering is sticking and slipping when coming out of a turn. This usually occurs at speeds over 45 mph. When you start to come out of a turn, it’s as if the wheel is momentarily stuck in the turn and then slips 2 to 3 degrees. If feels like the wheel is not responding, and it’s quite frightening not knowing if the car is going to respond to the wheel. It’s hard for the technicians to duplicate, because it does not happen every time (at least for now). This is a huge safety issue that Honda needs to repair. The part was quoted at $2000, and because there are so many vehicles affected, it is on “unknown amount of time” back order. Please NHTSA do something about this.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds through a parking area, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power, after which the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that the warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with fuel pump failure. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 95,000.
Body control module/ECU had to be reset at dealership and possible replacement in near future. Glitch occurred and cut power to hazards, turn signals, lights, door locks, etc. during operation of vehicle.
The steering tends to stick when driving at highway speeds. This issue makes small steering movements jerky and causes over corrections. The dealership stated they were not able to duplicate it. This is a known issue for this generation.
While driving my 2017 Honda Civic, I notice that the steering wheel sticks while trying to keep the car centered. While driving, as the car needs to be slightly adjusted at the end range it sticks and I have to add a little force to get it to recorrect which causes a slight overcorrection. Honda says that it looks like I need a new rack and pinion system on my 2017 Honda with less than 60,000 miles. The sticking can be significant. Honda says while there are Recalls on steering components in the 2017 Honda Civic my vin number is not included. This has been an on-going issue for over six months.
I was driving on the freeway traveling about or higher than 65 mph with high wind resistance (my opinion) when the front lower bumper shield started dragging under the vehicle causing to pull over in high traffic with my kids. Upon my own investigation the front lower bumper seem to rip and fold down ward causing it to drag.
The seatbelt in our Civic became entangled around our child and locked. The more we tried to get her out, the tighter it became. It was so tight around her waist that it left marks. She unbuckled the seatbelt and let a little more back into the retractor, hoping it would unlock but it only got tighter. We were on vacation and had to find a hardware store to buy a socket set to disconnect the seatbelt from the frame of the car, so at this point has to drive on I-70 with a kid tangled in an unbuckled seatbelt. Once we purchased a socket set, there was plastic obstructing access to the bolt, so we had to then purchase a knife to cut away the plastic to access the bolt. All the while, our kid was tangled up tightly in the seatbelt, squeezing her abdomen. There needs to be an emergency seatbelt lock release button. Had this became tangled around her neck, she could have been seriously hurt or killed.
Sticky steering. Steering wheel sticks in one spot causing you to over correct.
2017 Hatchbacks with the 1.5 liter engine 4 cylinder didn’t get an extended warranty yet all other Hondas with this engine did because of problems but not the hatchback when same parts and same problems I never want to buy a new Honda again . Had to get a coolant flush not soon after I bought it because car was over heating yet that’s all they did never looked by into why and then problem after problem . A night mare buying a new Honda . Seen many videos and read many threads of people with same year and sa b me complaints and I’ve contacted a lot of people and no place knows why the hatchbacks weren’t covered but other cars same engine same problem was. Had to rebuild engine and replace turbo at 103,00 miles after having to replace spark plugs every 7 thousand miles the whole time I owned it and adding coolant to it when dealership said it want a problem and did nothing about it and now at 130000 some miles car just keeps over heating and dealership just told me I need a new engine and wouldn’t tell me why and dealership never been helpful at all. Just look at my car and engine online and all the complaints. Then being told issue is fixed with an ECU update just don’t drive the car short distances with a lot of stop and goes only drive long distances and don’t drive in winter time . I lost it because how is that the problem being fixed . And all the carbon build up is insane. And the oil dilution problem still exists. All these defects and problems with a new car is insane . I figured a new car would be better but of course first new vehicle I buy is a Lemon and all these problems and Honda won’t do right by it . Car also going into what I call limo dick mode in middle of 4 lane high way is dangerous and doing that when car was under 20,000 miles and always has . Also parking brake still messes up even though it was recalled the problem still exists . Him screen occasionally freezes or goes blank or don’t work . Just non stop problems since bought new
The steering wheel is sticky. While making directional corrections while driving, especially at highway speeds, the stickiness of the steering wheel causes you to make jercky movements causing you to over correct your cars path, which causes you to make another correction oversteering in the opposite direction. This process continues indefinitely as you drive.
Steering becomes locked briefly at random times while driving. dealer unable to duplicate but problem is known on Civics 2016>2021 per dealers. no recall nor TSB from Honda. no concern of issue from Honda Tech when dealer contacts about issue. Owner required to pay 100% if wants repair , but replacement steering rack assembly is same as original so sticking problem can occur again . will NHTSA inquire about problem as potential safety concern ?
I am experiencing sticky steering wheel. This is a known issue in Honda vehicles. It causes over correcting to right or left at all speeds, but more prominent during highway driving. Many vehicles have been recalled but for some reason my VIn isn’t listed but clearly has a defect in the steering.
Vehicle steering wheel will feel stiff and jerky when travellings at cruise speeds. Tendency to overcompensate corrections. Serious safety threat.
Steering wheel sticks while driving typically notice it driving on interstate so likely only when at higher speeds. Becomes difficult to maintain vehicle in straight line. There is recall on other civics for similar issue but none on my VIN. Bit of a safety concern having the vehicle difficult to steer
Steering wheel has become very "sticky". Minor steering adjustments are now very hard to make, causing a jerking motion of the wheel while just trying to maintain a straight lane. These kinds of motions can cause safety concerns for those driving the car as well as others on the road as jerky movements can result in crash. I have found several other accounts of this same issue with a very simple internet search. Seems like something Honda needs to fix.
When driving the car at highway speeds for a number of miles, the steering gets sticky making it hard to maintain lane control. When trying to make minor corrections, the steering wheel will not turn until significant force is used which causes the car to jerk sideways in the lane. This results in having to turn the wheel again to correct again resulting in fighting the steering through the whole drive. The issue is not apparent on short drives or when diving around town making frequent turns. It is only apparent when driving for many miles on the highway. Once it starts, the problem continues until the car is parked for an extended period, such as overnight.
Steering is sticky and jerky. Requires additional input to make minor corrections at highway speeds. Causes vehicle to swerve when it frees up.
My steering began sticking in the neutral position while driving. It takes some force to "break it loose" which is a bit scary while traveling down the interstate, as it makes the car drift. I have had the steering components inspected and Honda has determined the Steering Rack needs to be replaced due to sticking. There is a recall on 2017 civics, but somehow my VIN is not included. My car is doing the same thing as the existing recall on same year civics. Honda will not voluntarily fix the problem. Is there anything you can do? I have confirmation from Honda dealer that the problem exists and can provide that documentation to you upon request.
When traveling at highway speeds the steering “sticks”. This requires more force to keep the car going straight in the lane. When correcting the steering overcorrection is a hazard. Very unsafe travel at highway speeds.
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the persistent issue of "sticky steering" in my Honda Civic, which is attributable to a malfunction in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. Since the purchase of my Civc, I have experienced recurring difficulties with the steering, characterized by stiffness and unresponsiveness. This issue poses a significant safety concern as it affects the vehicle's handling and maneuverability, especially during tight turns or emergency situations. Upon investigation, it has been determined that the problem lies within the EPS system, likely due to faulty sensors, wiring issues, or malfunctioning components such as the EPS motor or control module.
Steering wheel “sticking” no matter the speed.
A/C refrigerant leaking/ A/C not working.
I have been having ongoing steering problems resulting in having to correct my steering when on the interstate. It has been stated as "sticky steering". My 2017 is having the same issue and it is a huge safety issue to myself and others on thr e road. I'm documenting this complaint as if something happens, I will have this for my documents .
My steering wheel starts almost locking into a groove when driving. It will happen after 10 minutes or so of driving and it is most noticeable like when trying to stay straight in a lane, like when trying to make minor adjustments left or right, it feels like the steering wheel will stick, causing it to jerk more in the direction I'm trying to steer, which causes slight over steering and having to correct back the other direction. It's random and usually happens on drives longer than 5 minutes, but once it starts doing it, it stays that way till I'm done driving.
When driving on the highway the steering wheel sticks and wants to veer to off track. The stickiness is getting worse. I have to pull harder to get past the stuck position.
"sticky steering" issue. The issue is momentary increase in steering effort, mostly at highway speeds causing over steering jeopardizing safety. Honda refuses to acknowledge this issue although honda has issued a recall notice for same issue , same year same model. Honda stating that my specific VIN number is not one that has been recalled although car has same issue that it's being recalled for. Repair costing about $3500 per Honda service.
Paint on roof is peeling off near rear window.
The paint began flaking off in dime size chunks after a car wash. primarily around the back windshield but also around the gas door cover. I brought it to a body shop to be checked on. They said this was a common thing they see in civics from 2017, and it is a manufacturing defect.
While driving the steering is “sticking” and feels like there is tension while driving on a straight road and trying to keep the the vehicle straight. The tension in the steering wheel is overcome while trying to keep it straight causing the vehicle to jerk in that direction. You must react in the opposite direction to avoid collision which causes it to jerk in the other direction. It happens at all speeds and most noticeably at 40+ mph making it very concerning to drive and difficult to control the vehicle. My concern is that the vehicle will lose control completely at some point due to this issue.
Sudden loss of acceleration. CVT Transmission failure. Vehicle has been single owner and properly maintained, only 72K miles on it. There have been no issues with the transmission up to this incident. Pulling out of a parking lot the car revved and seemed like it wasn't going into gear. Car came to a complete stop in the middle of the road and could not move in any gear. We had it towed to the garage and they confirmed that the transmission oil was completely burnt and that the transmission needed replaced, which they agreed was completely premature.
There is a short in the BCM (body control module). This causes massive parasitic drain on my battery of over an amp (roughly 1.2 amps typically). I have to pull the fuse for it (fuse 18 in the engine bay fuse box) every time I leave my car off for more than a couple hours. I'm extremely worried this short is going to cause either a fire or one of the important functional systems of my car to stop working while I'm driving. I have read MANY other reports of this happening to other 2017 Honda Civics yet Honda hasn't done anything about it.
Steering is “sticking” or momentarily locking. Going straight then initiating a turn, the steering sticks momentarily until it finally “breaks loose”. Results in over-controlling and having to do almost S-turns while trying to keep the car straight. More apt to do so at higher speeds and the traveling faster does exacerbate the over-controlling (over-steering) conditions.
The power steering “sticks” and “requires slight, but manual force” to free it while driving causing the car to unexpectedly lose maneuverability. It has not been inspected yet, but it is easy to confirm as it happens almost all the time.
Steering wheel "sticks." I has been doing it since around 40,000 miles. It has gotten worse with time. While driving in straight line after it warms up the steering wheel does not move when trying to make micro adjustments and then when it does it jerks and causes the driver to overcompensate. Makes driving very tiring and unsafe. It is difficult to keep the car driving straight when tis happens. I can see there have been recalls regarding this problem with newer Civics, like 22-23, but mine has been doing it and it is a 2017. Last time it happened was recently while my drive was driving and I was out of town on 3/15/24.
car alarm going off for an extended period of time caused a short at the battery and caused a fire that destroyed the vehicle.
My Honda recently has had 10 warning lights pop up went in for oil change they couldn’t tell me the issue came back for another diagnosis and they are saying the engine has oil dilution. This is a known issue for this engine. But why does it affect abs, traction control, wiper sensor, auto high beam detection. , all of the lane assist , cruise control, early warning crash detection? This can be dangerous when you can’t quickly get the car into a dealership. And if it’s know issue they need a recall or free fix.
Everything is good
My AC system would not blow cold and the blower made a noise. Dealer replaced condenser under extended warranty in May 2023. Same problem is occurring now less than 9 months later. Recently moved to Florida where air conditioning is a must have. Taking car to dealership tomorrow. Bottom line - Honda replaced original faulty condenser under warranty last year but unit has failed again.
Car fuel injectors will fail and cause misfiring. Dangerous to drive due to engine running rough. Unusual for fuel injectors to go out so soon especially when driven with care and using correct fuel octane.
Honda has a recall for 2017 Civics for faulty sticking steering racks. My vehicle has experienced the same issue and I have been fighting for two years to have it fixed. Honda refuses time after time to replace the steering rack stating my VIN isn't included in the recall. The same exact part number they have recalled and continued using year after year is on my Civic. They refused assistance for two years and now state my vehicle is out of warranty and they do not want to cover the fix.
I am the original owner of a 2017 Honda civic ex . Recently I have been experiencing a "sticky steering wheel". When driving the car will veer to the left or right. The steering wheel feels stuck and causing over correction and erratic jerky car movements. There is also a clicking sound when moving the steering wheel out of the "stuck" position. I see this has been an ongoing problem with the Honda civics on the 2016 -2023 models with over a half million recalled in 2022 -2023. Honda of America says that there is no recall for my VIN number and until the NHTSA says so that they will not take any action for this ongoing safety problem and I will have to pay for any repairs.
My steering wheel seems to feel like it kind of locks up and is hard to release, causing me to yank slightly. It hasn't caused an incident yet, but I believe it will at some point if not checked. I'm going to get it checked out once I have some available time. I do see where 2022- 2023 have possible recalls for a similar issue that sounds exactly like what is happening on mine. This has been doing it for quite some time and doesnt seem to be improving. I only have 67000 miles on my car. Please be aware, thank you.

The Civic idles low after coming to a stop. Idles approximately 500 rpm’s. Periodically it will drop below 500 and stall. About 3 occurrences so far. Once at 500, there is no throttle response. The pedal can be fully depressed and the motor will continue to idle. Throttle response will occur anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds later. My work around is to take the car out of DRIVE and put it back. This solves problem. Mostly. I may have to do that a second time. Reverse is different. The car doesn’t move at all 100% of the time. And it takes me to move in and out of Reverse to get it to move. There are occasions that the throttle will activate. But, if you lift off the throttle…. It won’t engage. Below asks when this happens. It began over a year ago. I would depress the throttle and could count to 3 before going. Now it’s longer than 10. But, since I’ve learned about taking the car out of gear.
2nd attempt. I went to download pictures and was kicked out of site. 2017 Honda Civic EX Sedan bought used 2021. So far I've needed 2 new batteries in a very short amount of time. Multiple warning lights are appearing when I start car. Charging System Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, Charging System Problem, Hill Start Assist Problem, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Problem, Brake Hold System Problem. Yes, charging System Problem was showing twice. Available for inspection. Yes, my safety is at risk, I'm afraid and paranoid on what else could happen while I'm driving. I'm afraid to drive my car for my own safety. You know Honda, my Life matters too! I've went online and read others with similar problems from used to brand new, going into Limp mode not being able to drive over 40 mph and myself being severely inconvenienced with my JOB. Dealership appt this Tuesday. Occurances: Nov 13 12:32 pm 12.19 TWICE 12.21 Once 12.26.23 9:39am AND 11:23am AND 1:10pm 1.2.24 10:21 am 1.4.24 11:42 am AND 12:34 pm 1.5.24 11:13 am 1.6.24 11:37 am brake light came on, binging, then went away. 1.6.24 12:12pm. This is happening almost everyday now. Thank you!!
My apologies, I just filled out a form (Your Complaint Number: 11563943) and forgot to add problems with AC with my 2017 Honda Civic EX Sedan. My AC went out, went to local dealership, they recharged this around August 2023 I believe. Good now, but my point is I'd ask how long this will last. They said they don't know. I'm like a day, week, month(s)? Again they couldn't say. I live in a very warm area during the Summer, need AC and I need a cool AC environment when driving. I think I deserve to be comfortable. At the dealership, I had mentioned about a Honda recall letter I received about AC. It was either the Compressor or Condenser that is recalled, I forget. Well, they stated after looking at my car, that it was the item that isn't covered. Bill would be close to $1,000.00, I believe. Come on. I find this shady, confusing and concerning with Honda. Thank you again for your help!!! Yes my Life is at risk with this as well. Again, my Life matters also! This is my 4th Honda and I never had so many things go sideways with the last three Hondas as I'm experiencing now with this 2017 Civic EX. This is just ridiculous. Just about fed up with Honda.
Recently moved in person to an original over 55 community has an after market exhust system that is very load and the person also drives up and down the street like a race driver
2017 Honda Civic paint falling off in large chunks.
Trunk will open seemingly at random. Occurs while driving, parked, turned off, etc. Widespread problem as it has been reported on multiple car forums, all with the same response from dealers; can’t reproduce issue or they don’t know what’s wrong.
Fuel injectors failing before 65,000 miles, causing cylinder 1, 2, and 3 misfires consistently. This problem is known by Honda, but was never recalled. This is on all of the 1.5L engine models sold after 2016. They have even created a new part with the necessary flex joints to correct the issue, but charge out of pocket for inevitable and completely unavoidable replacement. This is nearly a $1400 repair from an OEM part that is guaranteed to fail around 60-70k miles. Multiple cylinder misfires have cause complete loss of throttle power and acceleration while driving on multiple occasions, and should provide cause for concern as an inoperable vehicle due to manufacturer quality failure is completely unsafe and should not be pinned on the owner of the vehicle. I have been left with no choice but to save up money, while living paycheck to paycheck in capitalist America, to replace these DEALERSHIP ONLY injectors while risking a flooding of catalytic converter with raw fuel due to system failure. Multiple safety features, including traction control and power steering assistance, are completely inoperable due to these misfires caused by faulty OEM fuel injectors. This issue is a SAFETY concern and also a vehicular health concern. I should not be given the “destroy your vehicle and risk your safety or replace a $1300 part out of pocket” dilemma because of quality failure at production levels.
Fuel injectors failed twice and part is on back order
Keep getting LANE KEEPING and ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL errors randomly as well as BRAKE SYSTEM warning lights. Took to Honda and they said my camera and radar were functioning fine and recalibrated to be sure. I’m still receiving error messages daily.
Keep receiving LKAS, Adaptive Cruise Control and collision mitigation errors on my car. Started once every few months and would reset after the car would be turned off and on. Now, the warning stays on. Both sensor areas are clean and unobstructed.
My fuel injectors have failed for the second time today. The first time they failed at 54k miles and the second time they failed at 94k miles. Both times I was on the expressway driving at least 55mph when suddenly the car does not accelerate and I am forced to pull over as my car slows down. This is dangerous when I am on the expressway and suddenly I cannot maintain a safe rate of speed for this kind of road. Honda refused to replace the injectors the first time because I was past my general 36k mile warranty although I was still within my 60k powertrain warranty. Although the manufacturer of the injectors Keihin considers the injectors a powertrain component, Honda does not by definition in their warranty. I am now left with a repair bill of over $500 for the second time for fuel injectors and a fuel rail. Honda needs to be held responsible and ordered to issue a recall for this widespread issue.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized. Additionally, the parking brake warning light and the power steering assist warning light were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V663000 (Steering). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Steering of car becomes stuck intermittently causing difficulty with adjusting of steering and over corrections when I have to force the steering wheel past the stuck area. Honda tech told me it is an issue with the electronic power steering unit of the vehicle
I started to wash my car and the paint on the roof between the windshield and sunroof started peel quite significantly. I showed my local Honda dealership and they told me to call American Honda Motor and they told me there is nothing they can do. I went to 5 different body shops in my area and they all have said that Honda should be covering the repair due to it being a manufacturing issue.
After the car has been drive for 20 minutes on the highway, I have a problem with my steering when keeping the car on center, the steering gets sticky and a jerking feeling when adjusting the steering that causes me to overreact in the opposite direction, this occurs with the slightest adjustment of the steering wheel, obvious only when driving on the highway.
Our car is a 2017 Honda Civic. We bought it new in November 2016. While driving, it came to our attention there was something wrong with the steering of the car. Steering feels too loose and at times it locks up. We took it in to be assessed and were told the steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The car went in for repair of the steering gearbox. Encountering costly power steering rack repairs should not be expected in a car with low mileage and age.
Unsure of when happened but cvt filler cap keeps blowing out for no reason causing transmission fluid to leak every where.
While driving the car the steering wheel sticks and you have to use more force to turn the wheel which causes you to overcorrect and it does not feel safe. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer simply because I have read online articles seeing many other people have this problem. There were no warning lamps ever activated and the problem first occurred around 50,000 miles and has continued or even gotten worse since then.
Car was draining battery because it would turn on randomly. They replaced the ignition switch, which didn’t work, then the alarm would go off constantly so I took it back to dealership. They said the part is backordered and they have NO idea how long it will be. It has been nearly 2 months, and I NEED my car for work and my 3 kids. I understand this is a well known issue, and the 2018-2019 models were recalled. Dealer says the have several similar issues with the 2017 models. I got a Honda for reliability, but instead I have had the worst car issues of any I have driven.
One of the piston rods broke and went through the block. Oil had heavy odor of gasoline
Paint is completely flaking off down to the metal along the edges around the rear window on roof, driver quarter panel, and passenger quarter. It has been flaking for 2 years now. I bought the car in 2017 brand new.
The passenger side CVC axle is too short and everything that it calls for is 36 in and 1/8 the original is 38 and 5/16 it don't make no sense I've been talking to everyone
car is veering left.this car shud be added to recall steering gear with electronic assist.veering left/right confirmed by store manager @ coastal car care tire 5225 hwy 40 East st marys ga.
I am adding to the long list of duplicate AC complaints. I had cold air on the passenger side and hot air on the driver side. I brought in my vehicle to the dealership in response to two AC component recalls. I was informed the compressor, evaporator and condenser ALL had gone bad and needed to be replaced. They would ONLY cover the condenser and quoted $4,400 for additional repairs.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The vehicle stability assist (VSA), the electric power steering (EPS), the TPMS and the brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as needed. The warning lights were no longer illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 50-65 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact was able to continue driving by using physical force to steer the vehicle. The contact stated that he arrived at the residence, parked, and turned off the vehicle; however, upon restarting the vehicle approximately 6 hours later, the failure persisted. The vehicle stability assist (VSA), the electric power steering (EPS), and the TPMS warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
Suddenly loss of acceleration. Transmission failure. The vehicle is at Stonecrest Honda. If not for my quick action and low traffic this could have caused a serious accident had I been at highway speed in heavy traffic. Stone rest Honda has confirmed transmission failure. Only warning lamps were unrelated. Intermittent lamps for the brake system and O2 sensor. Both rarely come on. Have had codes ran multiple times no one is ever able to fix the O2 code even the Honda dealership the vehicle was purchased from. Break system lights have been addressed and updates have been done previously and had only re-appeared just before the incident. I have had no issues with my transmission or I would have had the vehicle serviced. No slipping no strange sounds. This came out of nowhere leaving a parking lot from work not even 20 mph. I buy Hondas for the reliability and to have my transmission go at not even 100k miles is almost unheard of. My last Honda was 250K+ and still ran great when I traded it in for this one. This CVT is a problem.
A/C was not working as a result of condenser (covered by warranty) and evaporator (not covered by warranty.). Considered a safety hazard due to unusually hot summer where heat related dangers could be caused without A/C. I found myself driving in 110 degree weather in a 45 minute commute where I felt nauseous after. The a/c is a common problem for many 2016 and later Hondas. My vehicle was inspected by dealer and an independent mechanic (separate incident). No warning of this happening other than a hissing noise coming from A/c and then hot air blowing.
For several months, I was facing an issue with being able to lock and unlock my car properly. You could hear the mechanisms in the car trying to respond when I would press my key fob or the buttons inside the car but the locks themselves would not move. I would either need to use my physical car key to manually lock or unlock the door. Or if i was in the vehicle, i would manually unlock the driver door and then re-lock it. The problem seemed to start out of nowhere. The dealer confirmed the problem and said it was related to the door lock actuator. In two of the doors, the actuators had failed and in the other two they were on their way to failing. I had all four replaced which was a large and unexpected expense. But the ability to get in and out of the car safely and know that it is safely locked to prevent theft is very important. I did send a letter to Honda corporate about this problem and I felt this was a very strange part to stop working on a car that was brought brand new 6 year sago.
Driver side AC is not working
At speeds above 40 mph, the steering feels sticky to the point of using extra effort to make steering adjustments to the point of oversteering and having to make more corrections in path. At highway speeds it becomes worse to the point its hard to drive a straight line and looks like I'm driving impaired.
BCM Failed causing an electrical start problem and the car will not completely turn off. With BCM failed doors will not unlock with the remote and the car fails to start or starts and fails to turn off. This is a known problem with these cars that honda will not address and a safety concern for my family as the car has turned itself off while in motion.
I bought my 2017 Civic 2.0L brand new. A few years later my A/C stops working in the middle of summer. Due to the cost of what it was going to cost me to have this fixed I had to delay getting my car fixed and having to drive a car with no A/C with my infant and toddler in the back. Eventually I was able to get this fixed and had to pay over $700. For this being a brand new vehicle when purchased I don't think that an issue like this should have occurred if the vehicle was manufactured properly. Unfortunately, no light came on in the vehicle to tell me that something was wrong or needed fixed.
Steering feels like it is sticking. It is hard to maintain a straight line at speeds over 45 mph. It almost feels like I am trying to separate two magnets and I have to use more than normal effort to bring the car back to a straight line
The air conditioning only blows cold on the passenger side. This appears to be.a known issue.
Steering wheel is sticking or failing at highway speeds making steering corrections difficult. Seems more problematic on hotter days also noticed sticking when making turns at speeds greater than 35 mph can be hard to replicate but when it occurs oversteering easily occurs mechanic has no options other than replacing entire power steering system. Is dangerous especially when I over corrected for the sticking causing a sudden lane change
In 2017 a Honda civic was brought, 2 weeks later AC problems started. Vehicle was returned for repairs requested by a senior dealership personnel. Problems continued with same issue and not fixed. Recent recalls of the AC Compressor and other AC defects of this vehicle has been denied several times (up till now). Honda has repeatedly denied claim to resolve this issue when it has been acknowledged that the original AC systems in most of these vehicles are defective. Vehicle is very hot especially in these very high and hot temperature conditions.
check engine lights display periodically. The main one involves the fuel injectors. It has been an on going problem for 6-8 months. When I contacted the dealership I was told the part is not available Nationwide at this time and not sure when it will become available. While driving the car can go into "limp" mode where it doesn't let you go above 30 MPH. This problem first started approximately October 2022 after having the vehicle just over 7 months. When I contact the Dealership I was told there was nothing they could do but wait for the part to come in. Meanwhile I am paying for a vehicle that is not safe to drive , yet has no recalls on it. I was told by the Dealership that they have several vehicles at the auto auction that have the same issue that are not selling. I don't understand why Honda has not had a recall on this part. I am stuck with a vehicle ,my only means of transportation, still making payments, and it sits in the garage. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me.
I recently began feeling stickiness in the steering when driving freeway speeds. When trying to make minor lane adjustments, there is resistance in the steering wheel rather than smooth motion. Extra pressure against the stickiness overcomes the issue causing a small unintended over correction. Driving then becomes a constant battle against the stickiness and correcting the over corrections. No Honda Sensing on this vehicle. Occurred while driving over 60 mph in Texas summer heat. Not sure if the issue will get worse but if it does, hard overcorrections at freeway speed can be very dangerous. The same complaint has been made many times on 10th gen civic forums with a dealership doing a complete power steering rack replacement at the customer’s expense Scheduled to take it to Honda tomorrow for replication. There are no warning lights, the vehicle has 85k miles and has only been in one minor crash affecting the left rear quarter panel only.
My 2017 Honda Civic 4 Door EXT has been having problems with power steering. The steering is "sticky" and tends to point the car to either left or right. There is slight resistance to returning to central driving and then jerks back towards the middle, causing the car to jerk. This often happens on the highway, after the car has been in motion, at at relatively high speed. This problem does cause some erratic driving and could put others at risk. It is a problem that has been fairly common in 2016-2022 Civic cars, and frequently discussed on websites where other drivers have reported the problem. The problem often occurs when the car has been driven over 40K miles. There are no warning lamps, messages but the car's steering does begin to get difficult. To my knowledge the problem is a slipped sensor in the power steering that has been warned out, as diagnosed by a local dealer. Honda will replace the part as an act of "good will" at a discounted price of 75% in some cases.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic 90594 miles and within the last month; I have noticed when I reach highway speeds my steering sticks as I change lanes. This is a danger to anyone who drives on highways and Interstates.
The steering wheel sticks just enough, when turning it, to cause an overcorrection. This is most noticeable at highway speeds. As one does when driving in a straight line you slowly make left and right corrections, this is when the sticking occurs. This is potentially extremely dangerous and should be recalled.
My Honda civic sedan 2017 does not turn on all the lights on the dash turn on and I can not push my breaks to turn the vehicle on
I have the already mention over internet forums as a STICKY WHEEL STEERING After half an hour more or less the steering wheel becomes resistant to move to do little adjustments and keep my driving strait, driving slow or at speed, does it. Is safety hazard because is like a stuck steering always taking the car out of the lines and you have to apply more force than normal to correct, when you unstuck it you already have to correct again because was overcorrected and have to unstuck it again and happen all the time once the car has been driven for a while.
Steering wheel jerk/sticking problem after driving 25-30 miles. A lot of tension/force needed to correct steering direction leading to over correcting.
I am having a problem with my 2017 Honda civic SI, it has been to a Honda service center twice now and continues to have the same problem after having the transmission speed sensor replaced twice now, there was a recall that did not affect my specific VIN but I am having the same problems listed in the recall, the service bulletin number is 18-102, I also have videos showing how the EPS (Electronic Power Steering) light appears on the cluster along with the speed displaying as 0 even though the vehicle is in motion. When the problem occurs initially the steering goes “limp” and is extremely easy to turn as if the steering assist is working too hard then after a few seconds the vehicle proceeds to jerk extremely hard to the left followed up by the speedometer displaying 0 mph, this is extremely frustrating as the car only has around 84k miles and I have only been in ownership of the vehicle for 3-4 weeks as of now (almost 3,000 miles have been put on the car.
Steering wheel sticks when driving, especially when turning left. This issue has been ongoing for years. I've brought it to the dealer but we couldn't replicate the issue at the dealership. It doesn't feel safe when driving and seems to happen when the outside temperature is high. I believe it's either the anti lock system or the steering rack needs to be replaced. No warning lights come on. The dealer said there is a pending review for recall for this issue.
AC component: Condenser and Evaporator (issue is systematic as it's creating issues to Freon) Current RECALL is only for Condenser but it's systematic to Evaporator (faulty part that has failed); I believe Honda is circumventing the cost to repair and is revealing only condenser part failure vs taking ownership on full AC component (if one fail the other will too). Reading blog, reddit, and many other complaints, outside repair shop says finding will still cost consumers $2,000 to fix evaporator caused by part failure. Issues still exist in honda model 2016-2019 and alarming rate of consumers venting the poor quality of the AC component. Honda quality control has not rendored and technician is having consumer fix parts that is near the area (systemic) to known faulty part.

The fuel injectors failed at 73,000miles. It can be inspected at a Honda dealership for their hourly labor rate. The car starts to display the following warning messages and lights; Emission system problem, Brake system problem, Brake hold system problem, Power steering system (EPS) problem, vehicle stability assist (VSA) problem, Hill start assist problem and then it goes into limp mode. I couldn’t safely drive on the interstate highway I drive everyday to and from work. It is dangerous to be driving 70+mph and suddenly not be able to drive even 15mph. I have to merge through 4 lanes of traffic and I’m losing speed and power. I have to put my hazard lights on and other drivers are swerving around me and beeping their horns (and worse) at me. I bought a second set of injectors from a Honda dealership and they confirmed that they knew there are issues. This set lasted just over 18months (about 55,000miles). At that point the following warning messages and lights started coming on; Emission system problem, Brake system problem, Brake hold system problem, Power steering system (EPS) problem, vehicle stability assist (VSA) problem, Hill start assist problem and then it would begin going into limp mode again. I went back to the same Honda dealership to talk to them about this issue and they said Honda has a new part number and they cannot order the same injectors I currently have (my second set) and they couldn’t explain the difference between the “old part #” injectors and the “new part #” injectors. So they ordered me a new set and warned me that they are on back order and there is a list of people who have also ordered. I have been waiting for almost 2 months now and frequently call to inquire on the status of my order and they say they cannot tell me anything because they have not heard from Honda and have no information about the status of any of the orders.
This car has 56,817 miles and in just the last 500 miles or so, we have noticed that the steering wheel seems to get “sticky” or “notchy” after driving for longer drives—maybe over 20-30 minutes. I don’t notice it on my short 10 minute drive to work. It seems to happen while driving straight. The steering wheel seems to get stuck making little steering adjustments jerky and causing frequent overcorrections instead of smooth steering. It’s annoying to a little unsettling, especially at higher speeds. I haven’t had it checked at the dealer but am an import auto mechanic of over 25 years.
My 2017 Honda civic has been having steering issues for a while. It’s very hard to keep straight on a highway and it feels like my steering is sticking when trying to correct myself in a lane on highway. No warning lights on the dash or anything like that.The problem started off minor and not noticeable but now it’s really bad to where I’m swerving left and right on the highway trying to keep straight but it’s almost impossible. It makes me feel unsafe and uncomfortable when driving. It almost feels like I’m going to get pulled over for looking like a drunk driver. I took the car to my local car Honda dealership and explained my problem to them and also told them my opinion saying it might be a steering rack issue since I see multiple problems that people post online with the same generation Civic. So they take my car in and run some test and say my car is all good and that they couldn’t replicate the problem. I think the most they did was align my car again which wasn’t really off. I take my car back and started driving for another week until I took the car back to Honda to see if they could take a look again because it just didn’t feel right. The second time I took it, same thing. Told me they couldn’t recreate the problem. I’m not sure if they checked the steering rack or not because I wasn’t told that they did and I’m assuming they didn’t because they would have to drop the whole front subframe. At that point I honestly didn’t know what to do. I tried taking it to a different shop (pep boys) to see if they could find anything and they couldn’t.
2017 Honda Civic experiences random reduced steering maneuverability while driving. Steering wheel becomes briefly stuck in one direction while turning, usually requiring over-steering to correct the issue. Steering wheel becomes less responsive and difficult to turn. Vehicle is available for inspection. Problem has not been confirmed by dealership. No lights or messages displayed on dash or digital console.
Fuel pump failed at 87463 miles Making a grinding noise and had to recede the speed from 50 mph to 25 mph to get to my destination. The engine sounded like it was misfiring and engine lines along with errors showed up in the dashboard.
At high speeds (over 55mph) the steering feels notchy and sticky. While making a long highway turn my steering wheel will stick turning in that direction until I correct. I do not have lane assist tech on board but this needs to solved. It’s inconsistent which could potentially proved to be dangerous or fatal. I just noticed this at 117k miles but have seen reports of some lower mileage. I’m scared to drive my vehicle.
The steering on my 2017 Honda Civic frequently sticks while driving making it difficult to steer. I purchased the used vehicle along with an extended warranty from Carvana in 2020. I noticed the stickiness in the steering after having the vehicle for a week and I took the vehicle to an independent service center to have the issue repaired in 2020. They were unable to diagnose the problem and the stickiness persisted intermittently (about 50%- 60% of the time while driving). Since then, the frequency of intermittent stickiness in the steering has increased (about 90%-95% of the time while driving). I am concerned about the risk of an accident on an interstate or highway while traveling at speeds in excess of 55 mph. When steering around an extended curve or corner on the road, the steering will stick and I have to jerk the steering wheel in the opposite direction to unstick the steering and course-correct. This causes the vehicle to swerve a bit and affects the handling of the vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
1) What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ANS: The steering sticks. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. 2) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? ANS: By overcompensating when changing lanes. This condition arises on Interstate driving. It has happened since I bought the car. Would have to research dates and mileage. Date/mileage shown below is approximate. 3) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? ANS: Not to my knowledge. I mentioned it to Honda Cars of Katy 6/1/23. 4) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? ANS: No. Honda does not acknowledge a problem. 5) Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? ANS: No. There are no warning signals when this occurs.
Car has a faulty board control module. Car randomly starts itself in accessory mode, even when key fob is not present or batteries are removed. Other times, car will click and not turn on, or show random error messages. Car will intermittently not start; shows “keyless start system problem.” Car alarm randomly goes off. Car will intermittently not turn off once started. Internet search reveals multiple other individuals with the same problem, sometimes covered under warranty and other times not. Honda of America is sometimes helpful and other times, not. Problems are intermittent and difficult to reproduce, necessitating additional diagnostics by dealers. Among other problems reported are problems with door locks, windshield wipers, and headlights. I have concerns that the electrical problems will lead to serious safety issues, such as: lights turning on or off while driving; inability to turn off ignition in an emergency; wipers not working during rain (wet conditions seem to correlate to more problems, for other drivers and for me, suggesting an issue with corrosion), or getting locked into/out of the vehicle in an emergency.
Keyless entry problem on my car. I was unable to get into my car and when I used the key from the fob to enter the car, the car wouldn't start. I was stranded and needed to call for help. The car was jumped and started again to get it back to my house. In the morning, the car wouldn't start again so was towed to a local mechanic in my town called Desert Dawg and they were able to start the car again and it drove for about a week and then the same problem happened. They put in a new battery and worked again for about a week. The car then would start but wouldn't shut off without disconnecting the battery. Then one night the car just started beeping uncontrollably and the car would not shut off the beeping and key fob not recognized. Towed back to Desert Dawg and said it was a keyless entry problem but the part he needed to fix it was on National Shortage and could take 7 months or more to get the part. He told me to take it to the Honda Dealership to see if they could help me. Car towed again to Honda dealership and they said it was a keyless entry problem and the part called a body control module with Part number: 38809-TBC-A31 was on back order and on National shortage and the part may not arrive for 7 months or longer or never. I now have no car to get to work. I called the Honda Corporation and got the same answer of this part being on national shortage. How can people be left stranded. I live in Arizona and the temperatures get very hot and people could die if their car doesn't start. Please address this issue. thanks.
My 2017 Honda Civic Touring, has had two major issues in the past two months. So far, I have put about $3,000 in these issues. Issue 1:Two months ago, they found a leak in the front seal of the compressor, and it had to be replaced. There is no extended warranty on the compressor (only the condenser), though it seems to be a big issue for the Civic. This expense was approximately $2000. Issue 2:Long story short, a few weeks ago, my car alarm started going off about every four hours and had killed my battery by the next morning. During this time, my key fabs no longer worked and we had to jump the car to take it to the shop. The Body Control Module had gone out with no pervious warnings. Honda told my mechanic they’re on backorder and it will be nine months to a year before they could get a replacement. They located a used one and installed it. Though they were told it was a match, it was missing certain elements that my car had – back seat windows, auto lock when you exit your car, and front led blinkers. My front blinkers no longer work, and the previous Honda was probably bulbs. Needless to say, this can only be a temporary fix because it’s dangerous and won’t pass inspection. So far this expense has cost approximately $900. I’ve emailed Honda, and my issue has been ignored. They haven’t offered to help for either case. These things should not be happening to civics with this low mileage and age. So I now have a new BCM on backorder with a Honda dealer, and some time down the road, I will be paying for this expense again.
I have noticed that the electronic power steering catches from time to time. This causes a safety hazard because more force is applied to get the steering back to normal when the steering catches. I have read that this is an issue with many Honda vehicles, but no recall has been made. I feel like this is a huge safety issue, and Honda should replace all electronic power steering that has this issue.
While driving down the highway we heard a horrible grinding sound. We pulled over and looked under the car. The engine sheild was dragging. We took it to the dealer and it was replaced at a cost of $405.03. Today 339 days after the part was replaced and 16,000 miles after the replacement the same thing happened. This time the shield actually fell off in the middle of the road. So we are going to replace it again. I was curious about if this was a common problem and it is. Often it occurs after an oil change when the mechanic fails to secure the shield properly. And often at honda dealers. Seems fishy to me. What can we do about this? Am i going to have to replace the shield every year?
AC does not work! It only blows hot air. It gets very hot in the car, even with all the windows rolled down. Also, gas cap is broken. Does not close all the way and sticks out. So therefore it no longer locks. Thought my gas was possibly getting stolen, but there was no changes to my gas.
my power steering goes out all of a sudden and now I cannot steer my car.
Airbags deployed in an accident (minimal impact/superficial damage) & deeply lacerated my right thumb. No warning lamps or symptoms of the problem prior. Car to be inspected by insurance claim adjuster & available for inspection.
Ac blowing hot air
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the driver's side headlight had water intrusion in the headlight housing. There was approximately 1 1/2 inch of water in the headlight housing. The contact was unable to see the roadway while driving at night. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the Extended Warranty did not cover headlights. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 52,600.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sunroof inadvertently exploded without impact. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that VIN was not included in a recall and that the dealer was unable to perform glass repairs. The vehicle had not yet been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
My husband hit a deer on the highway. The seatbelts locked up but the air bags did not physically engage. We took it into the repair shop today and they said that the airbag system DID in fact tell them to engage, but the air bags did not physically come out. The side by each seat belt opened up but the airbags did not come out, nor did the front air bags come out. If this would have been a worse accident, the occupants of the car would have been injured due to no airbags going off. An independent service center has confirmed that this is what happened. Insurance still has to go out an inspect the vehicle but it is planned to be done. There were no warning messages prior to the failure.
While driving a loud pop was heard. Smoke started coming out of the seatbelt retractor track. Seatbelt would then not retract. The local service shop said that a CO2 cartridge that locks the seatbelt had burst and there are substantial safety concerns with the vehicle now. Uploading the service quote below.
These cars have horrendous AC issues. A spotlight needs to be on put on it. Broken AC can subject drivers to dangerously high temperatures in the cabin, even if the windows are rolled down in some climates. Honda, the maker of these vehicles, is still answerable for the supplier of the compressor/ac system, Keihin's, failures. There are many of us, but we haven't been able to connect the dots to see how many have truly been affected. I nearly suffered heatstroke driving this car. Was dizzy the night of at home, with outdoor temperatures reaching triple digits (Fahrenheit).
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the rear door locks were making squeaking sounds and the alarm would inadvertently be engaged at night. The contact stated that the vehicle would fail turn off and would go into ACC mode. The contact was unable to lock the doors. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the BCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V771000 (Electrical System, Back Over Prevention, Visibility/Wiper, Visibility, Exterior Lighting) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 39,500.
Ac blowing hot out of driver side only. Repaired under extended warranty in 2020 due to faulty ac condenser that Honda now admits was a problem. Now that the car is out of extended warranty (by 4 months) the ac evaporator goes out and they want me to pay $2,000 to fix cause it wasn’t listed on the service bulletin. So ridiculous the entire system is faulty and There is no telling when it will go out again. Honda needs recall or extend the service bulletin to cover the entire system.. absolutely ridiculous!!!
AC evaporator core failure. It appears Honda Civic has AC problems. This is the second time the AC has stopped working.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering, yes available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes, the steering gets "stuck" in position while driving and takes extra force to "break" it free and regain control. At first it was only noticeable ay highway speeds but now it is noticeable on regular road ways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Has not been seen by dealer because out of warranty and I feel this should be a recalled item. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages appear.
This is a general concern, not a particular incident. My 2017 Civic SI (as well as my friend's nearly identical 2019 Civic SI and others I'm aware of) has backup camera issues at night. Daytime is fine, but at night the image is so "speckled" and unclear that it is often nearly useless. 2015 Civics did not have this problem (I had one and my wife currently still does).
My AC system stopped working and when checked it was a faulty AC condenser that was on recall. So the dealer fixed it for free then about 4 months later my air blows only hot again. Went back to get it checked and now they are saying the evaporator core needs to be replaced and charged me $2600 to fix. Seems fishy and I feel if one component is failing the whole system should be covered under an extended warranty.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The exhaust system, power steering, brake assist, power brake, hill assist, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbo charger and engine needed to be replaced. The dealer requested the oil change records. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
Steering wheel feels like it sticks at center. When you try to make a minor adjustment, you need to use excess force to break the hold. That's causes the car to jerk into an over steer and you have to jerk it quickly back to correct. This can be very dangerous and put you in bad situations constantly.
At highway speeds and after longer periods of driving (>20-30 minutes) the steering becomes stuck in position until excess force is applied, leading to over-correction, and I believe this is a safety concern. This problem has been observed widely when searching online. The vehicle has not been inspected, is out of warranty, is available for inspection upon request, and no messages or other symptoms appeared. This problem first appeared in 2020 and persists when different tires and wheels are mounted.
When trying to keep the vehicle traveling straight, the steering seems to stick and then suddenly release once more force is applied to the steering wheel. This causes an over correction in steering and requires the driver to quickly correct in the opposite direction to avoid going in to the next lane.
On February 5th I was taking my car out to the grocery store. All of a sudden my lights turned on and as soon as I'm going up the hill, going back home the car starts to shake uncrontrollably. I check my car under the hood toes what is going on, all of my wiring had been damaged, even the battery was damaged. I later bought the new wiring and and battery and had it replaced. After a few days at the mechanic I was able to get my car back but the mechanic said that due to the fact of the material that Honda is making their wiring which is the soy bean material, animal love to eat from that it has been something that he has seen for quite some time. Anyway I thought it might've been from the location of where I parked the night before when I had to go outside of town because I always park right in front of my house and its the first time. February 17th, I was pulling out of my parking spot and noticed that my car wasn't breaking as it should be so therefore I stopped the car and opened my door and immediately when I look under the hood I knew animals had gotten into from the pile of leaves and sticks on top of of everything and afterwards the car just turned off all by itself. I am now experiencing the exact same thing which puts my life at risk because the car just stops working mid ride and I could be on a whole highway and cause a collision. If they know that this is something that animals look for to eat I think that it is not safe to use for a car cause I could have been in danger for both these events if I were to be on the highway and my car just decided to stop functioning I could've been in a different circumstances,
Ed morse changed my push to start button and now my car has a body control module. Which draining my battery every day. Now I've changed the battery 6 times. I'm left with the parts being on back order. Ed morse service manager told me the parts came in and they were trying to reach me which was a lied because when I showed up they told me they don't have it now they nor sure when the parts are coming. The parts are on back order in japan.

2017 Honda Civic hatchback Paint cracking up Vin: [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
SAFETY CONCERN > while driving on a local roadway, the right front tire went flat but the OEM TPMS ( this Civic model uses a indirect system ) never alerted ( due to traffic & road conditions was unable to pull off road ) & had to drive to nearest tire dealer, where a associate confirmed no TPMS warnings were displayed. after repair work completed, contacted a local Honda dealer service dept. , where a advisor stated there is no repair possible on Honda's indirect TPMS. he suggested installing a aftermarket direct TPMS ( tire pressure sensors are installed in each tire & a display unit fitted somewhere on dash ) at owner's cost. this is a safety concern.
Paint is peeling from section of roof between windscreen and sunroof. Case opened with Honda NA and New York State Attorney General's Office.
After a sever rainstorm and ice storm a code that causes BCM (Body Control Module) fault code to show up. It affected systems such as Intermittent lock or unlock trunk and door while vehicle is in operation, Failure to start and Security alarm active at random times. An independent service found the "B12D1" code that indicated the BCM has failed during the prescribed process by the manufacture. The problem was reproduced during an ice storm in 2019 and 2022 causing this error code while vehicle is exposed to weather.
Wiring harness was "damaged by rodents" twice due to the swap to soy-based, edible wiring. No other vehicles have this issue in my area and I have lived here 5 years. This damage causes all electrical systems to fail, including power steering, and will eventually result in a fatality - if it has not already. Honda will not cover this under warranty and has done nothing to resolve the issue! The alleged "spicy tape fix" does not deter rodents.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after she started the vehicle, the gear shifter failed to shift into neutral. The contact stated that the parking brake warning light was illuminated; however, the parking brake was not engaged. The contact then stated that the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the parking brake needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and stated that the failure could be two separate switches related to the parking brake. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

I purchased a 2017 Honda Civic LX from a local Honda. 10 minutes after leaving the dealership, the TPMS lights came on. Please note it was cold outside. Took the car to Autozone to have codes read. Code c0077-78 was detected. Once I got home, I checked the tire air pressure and the tire air pressure was low. I added air to tire afterward. I reset the TPMS and the TPMS light went away. The next day, the light came on for a few seconds after I started the car, but the light disappeared again. I didn't check the air pressure. I took it to Autozone to see if any codes were detected, but no codes were detected and all systems were functional.
Steering wheel locked up and could not steer. Vehicle hit a guard rail.
The board control module failed and replacements are not available. Available for inspection upon request. Due to the component failing, the vehicle goes to accessory mode randomly or even to its on without engine mode. The wireless key will not grant access during these times or remote start. Without constantly charging the battery, the vehicle will completely discharge its battery. This issue has been verified with the dealership and component inspected. No warning lamps gave away the process of the failure. warning lights only appear now after jumping the vehicle from a depleted battery due to the failure.
On two (2) separate occasions the engine wiring harness was damaged by rodents. The damaged wiring harness compromised the power steering system, braking system and stability control system. Failure of these critical systems put the safety and welfare of myself, my family and all drivers on the road in danger of serious injury and death. The damaged wiring harness is in my possession and available for inspection. The local Honda dealership and numerous other sources have stated the manufacturer is using a soy based plant material to produce the wire casing that attracts rodents to chew and permanently damage the food based wiring components. The local Honda dealership inspected and verified the cause and the effect of the damage. Steering, braking and stability control warning lights were indicated while driving the vehicle and prior to driving in subsequent trips
My car has a significant engine oil dilution problem. Gasoline is starting to mix with the oil and it could potentially cause problems or complete engine failure. I am having issues with performance in cold weather due to this problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated the ventilation system became inoperable. While the blower was in the on position, the windshield fogged up. The temperature increased to high. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the condenser needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact was informed that the coolant needed to be flushed and also that there was a hole in the radiator causing a coolant leak. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.
Brakes keep failing. Replaced with OEM parts twice in the last 10months because Honda says it isn't an issue they cover and no active recalls for any parts or components
Brake system indicator light came on 2 weeks prior to driver assist failure, cruise control no longer works, lane departure malfunction, collision detection malfunction, adaptive steering malfunction. Basically the whole driver assisted system no longer works I took it to be fixed by shop they cleared codes but problem still exists.
I made a purchase a civic Honda 2017 on February 2020 and now in April 2022 stops working the A/C unit only blowing hot air
This is a known issue with Hondas from 2016 and up where the Body Control Module (BCM) is faulty and malfunctioning. When the car turns off, it turns itself back on and makes noises to turn itself back on. This issue may cause possible electrical issues that may short and start a fire internally. Honda dealerships across the country have known about this issue for many years, yet they have not fixed the problem. There are youtube videos entailing the same occurrences in a lot of other people's cars, including myself. My vehicle has not been inspected but spoke with several Honda dealerships about the issue, and they are all aware of the issue, yet have no solution but to replace it. The BCM is on backorder for months and people are without cars to use due to the repeated occurrences for everybody. There are no signs of any issues before the faulty BCM malfunctions. Dealerships charge $1500-2500 for car repairs that they are not able to fix due to the backorder of the component. If this issue has been going on for several years, why hasn't Honda fixed and replace the issue, instead of knowing the issue and making their customers pay a large amount of money to fix what they know will go wrong? It is unethical and demoralizing to have a company take advantage of its customers. Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKdfkzsnXT0
2017 Honda Civic with 15K milage - A/C broke down for the second time after I had it’s condenser replaced at the dealership in 2019 due to cracks/holes. I took it to the dealership few days ago and they told me it costs $509.00 for diagnosis. Took it somewhere else to recharge it but it only lasted 2 days and we’re back to blowing warm air but what’s interesting is that the passenger side’s vent blows slightly cooler air than the driver side! I took it to many auto repair places and I was told many times that 2016-2019 models have faulty A/C which Honda knows about but won’t issue a recall. I hope these complaints lead to a formal investigation.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while pulling into the drive way, the vehicle stalled and the the steering wheel lost power steering. Several messages indicating a transmission, parking brake, hill assist, fuel gauge, steering, braking , traction control, charging system failures were displayed. The vehicle hit the garage door. The contact attempted to reverse but the gear shifter remained stuck into park (P) position. The contact manually disengaged the transmission linkage located in the AC system. The contact then pushed the vehicle backwards. An independent mechanic came to the contact's residence and diagnosed that the transmission control module (TCM) had failed and had affected the computer system, which led to the failure. The independent mechanic associated the failure with Honda Technical Service Bulletin Number: 17-012. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified and informed the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at his own expense as the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
Pre-incident.... Improper weather stripping around both front and back windshield hold water on seams around installed windows. This results in air bubbles separating the glass from the glue seam and rubber seats. If too many occur for a long enough period, windshield can crack, shatter or break completely free during normal driving. This is happening on a less than 5 year old car. Honda Dealership has inspected and taken pictures of bubble areas that are occurring between the entire seal. Bubbles started occurring 3 years ago and got significantly worse over time. No warning lamps.
This complaint is specifically about the A/C Evaporator in my Honda Civic. After taking my car in for the 2nd time in about 13 months (to the Honda Dealership), the A/C system appears to be faulty on my vehicle. After online research, it appears that this is very common issue for many 2016-2019 Honda Civic models and it’s hard to imagine the company isn’t aware. Thus far, the company has offered to cover the Condenser issue (after the company was in a class action lawsuit) but will not cover the A/C Evaporator, which costs over $2000. Given the recent heat waves, the safety of myself and my passengers are potentially compromised until this issue is fixed, especially those with disabilities. It would be highly appreciated if this matter is investigated and resolved for all Honda Civic owners. Thank you!
Steering system is loose. Not as tight as it should be. The steering feels loose and requires constant correction in order to keep the vehicle in a straight line. There is no added noise. It seems worse the hotter it gets outside.
1. Driving on the freeway with multiple lanes. I driver cuts across multiple lanes and even though they only stayed 1 second in front of me and jumped into another lane, Honda thinks it's time to apply the brake after they have merged over to next lane. Applying the brakes when nobody is in front of me! 35mph 2. I can be 25 feet behind a car. That car happens to be making a turn at an intersection. It clears my path, but it's stuck just at the corner of the other street because traffic isn't flowing for them. I have 100% clear of path. And guess what, Honda decides to slam on the brakes because it saw the vehicle is about a foot away from my lane stopped. Honda can't tell the difference if I'm going straight or following the car that turned so it thinks it's better to slam on the brakes when in question. Very dangerous! 40mph 3. When on a multi lane freeway. I have no car in front of me but there is a vehicle in another lane. As I try to pass the vehicle, my Civic applies the brakes when the road isn't straight but very slightly curved. In my opinion it's not calculating at all that we are in a curve. It seems like Honda is not using vision from camera to tell the lanes and lane markers and also the steering wheel. But it only detects that somehow we will collide. 65mph A dangerous system and shouldn't be allowed until the bug is fixed with software update. So far Honda hasn't acknowledged anything. I have to gather all my footage and share it with you, maybe through youtube? There are no warnings, no problems with the car. This is clearly a software issue. Honda dealer told me there is no software update for this when I question Honda Serramonte Colma CA when I brought my vehicle in for failed AC. Service writer said "these things can happen, just try to drive more cautiously"
2017 Honda Civic the AC stopped cooling in the middle of summer in summer California where the temperature is regularly above 110 degrees. An AC failure in this area IS a safety issue. After paying $289 for diagnosis they said the evaporator is leaking. The warranty was extended for all 2017 Honda Civics for leaks of the condenser. They also have similar complaints for the compressors. We have 3 other older Hondas that have never had an evaporator start leaking and when we said that to the service tech, he said that newer Hondas are less reliable. This is at a Honda dealership, so it's quite the sales pitch for buying a new Honda. It seems obvious that the 2017 Honda Civic has an overall problem with the AC. I was quoted $1800 for repair, but I am not convinced that is the problem. I wish I hadn't taken it to a dealership to start with, but I was sure that they would be honest and cover the repair under warranty. A new aftermarket evaporator from a very reputable company costs under $70 so that's a lot of labor costs added on. Civicx.com has so many reports of this problem that it's over 12 pages long. This problem should definitely be covered under the 10 year extended warranty.
Air-Conditioner (A/C, AC). 2017 Civic EX-L Sedan. A/C system blows only warm air on drivers side vents, but seems to blow cool(er) from passenger side vents. Just adding this to the MANY other complaints about A/C system in 10th Gen Honda Civics.
I got a new Honda Civic last 2017. My car air conditioning has not been working for the past months. When I started have it fix, I called different car repair shop in Orange County for the past months. They always asked me about my car model and year and every time I give it to them they turned me down from shop like Firestone, pepboys, and several of their branch and even small repair shop. I went to Honda service but they charge me too much I can’t afford. Luckily my car was accepted for AC repair in one of Pepboys branch. They assessed and recharge my car AC but less than a month AC is not working I brought it back after they say a lot of problem and charging me too much. I just need a working AC for my car. Please help me have my car fix fairly in this difficult time.
Power steering locked up.
The gear shift is loose. Not stable. With switch into a different mode with the slightest tap without having to have my foot on the brake or pushing the release button to move to a different gear.
Cooling issue. Air conditioning not cooling down. Coolant and freon full. No one knows why the car ac wont work above 80°f. One side of car is semi cool other not at all blows hot air.
Last week the AC in my '17 Honda Civic Hatchback went out and I took it to the local dealership to have it diagnosed. Upon review, they informed me the AC's evaporator unit is leaking and it will cost $800 to replace. I'm aware there is a recall (TSB 19-091) on the condenser from 2016-2018 Civics. Honda came out with a TSB regarding this issue, all 2016-2018 civics have 10yr/unlimited mile warranties now on condensers. TSB 19-091, dated Dec 11th 2019. Per the bulletin: " American Honda is extending the warranty on the A/C condenser to 10 years from the original date of purchase with unlimited miles. This warranty only covers vehicles that have a defective A/C condenser from the factory. The A/C condenser was not manufactured to specification. As a result, tiny holes may develop in the condenser tube walls that allows the refrigerant to leak out. " However, there seems to be an EQUALLY large number of complaints online about compressors and evaporators failing in those years of Civic as well. Every single private mechanic I spoke to said they's seen dozens of '17 Civics with the exact same issue and to take it back to Honda. As such, it turns out failure across ALL the components of the AC system (compressors/condensers/evaporators) is relatively common after only a handful of years. I believe an amended bulletin should be provided to cover ALL repairs across the AC system. As a 1st responder, it is not safe for me to drive this vehicle to/from work in the 115 degree weather that we get here in Fresno, CA. There are multiple articles explaining these exact malfunctions as well: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/2016-2019-evaporator-failures-leaks.52319/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Honda/comments/lyne6q/2017_honda_civic_ac_evaporator_leaking/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR1 There were NO warnings prior to my AC going out.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and running in the driveway, the power steering failed. The power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.

I have oil dilution in my 2015 Honda Civic EX-T VIN [XXX]. Dealer performed the fixes. The Next time I had the oil sample checked it was worse. The oil smells like a weedeater. I am at 13.72% fuel in the oil. Very Rich. I live in Alabama where it is hot. I only drive long distances to and from work on the interstate. I need help. Honda is doing nothing. They are not telling the dealer anything or sharing any specs as acceptable percentage fuel in the oil. It is a coverup. TSBs have been done and engine checked and injectors are good. Please advise.

I believe the issue I'm about to explain is with the EPS Rack Assembly. I am deeply concerned for my safety and the safety of other riding in my vehicle as it is difficult sometimes to keep the vehicle on the road due to the steering sticking at random times. MANY other 2016+ Honda Civic owners are experiencing this problem as there are several forums currently viewed on the internet discussing this issue. When driving the vehicle, the steering wheel "sticks" in one spot when turning and sometimes takes a considerable force to break the steering wheel free. This issue seems to happen after the car/engine is warm (20-30 minutes into driving). This problem started out as minor and sporadic, but has become much worse in the past month or so. I will be making an appointment with my local Honda dealer for evaluation.
I have a Honda Civic 2017 .I left the car un the dealer tiday because the car have "break system issues".Is almost a new car and already hace problema whit the poster bbrake system.How is possible?
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the seat belt tongue failed to latch securely into the buckle. The contact took the vehicle to the local mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the inner spring was missing and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
10.55% fuel was found in the oil according to a sample that was taken. Took to dealer and called honda. Dealer was told to perform Bulletin 18-137 I think. Dealer said was done and changed the oil also. Took a sample at 30% oil life after the fix and now there is 13.72% fuel in the oil. Took back to dealer they called Honda Engineers and was told it was normal and that was on the Low side 13.72%. Was not able to do anything. This is a coverup. You can smell fuel in the oil and oil is high on the dipstick when you check it and you can smell when driving.
Running rich and every time it throws a rich code or misfire code its throwing codes relating to steering failure, emissions failure, break failure, stability failure when as well as codes saying plugs and a factory remap of the ecu.
Faulty Body Control Module which controls many electronic systems in the car. Alarm started going off while car was parked in the garage. Went off twice within 12 hour period—once in the middle of the night. Car has to be accessed and turned on to stop alarm. Issues with vehicle recognizing key. Body Control Module was replaced at my expense.
The steering on this car is very dangerous. After driving for 30 or 40 minutes the wheel sticks and must be brought back to center manually or car will leave the road or change lanes. This is hard to diagnose for technician. They all say there’s no problem because it’s intermittent. There is no warning lights.The faster you go the problem gets worse , very bad on the interstate highway.
1. The Driver's side door open alarm. 2. When the alarm sounds it makes me think the door has somehow come open. 3. Yes - they didn't see anything visual wrong with the hinges. 4. Yes - the dash warning light for door open came on.
I am reaching out regarding an issue in my 2017 Honda Civic EX-T. Over the past few months, I have noticed that the steering wheel seems to "stick" or feel "notchy" when making small adjustments from center (12 o clock) position. This is most noticeable when driving on a long, straight stretch of freeway requiring minor adjustments to keep the car centered. The steering will stick when attempting to making small corrections, requiring extra force to overcome resistance. After providing more force, the steering will suddenly give way, typically causing overcorrection in the opposite direction. As a result, I have to weave back and forth in my lane to keep the car straight. This issue is most pronounced when the ambient temperature is hot, and the car has been driven for at least 20-30 minutes. Interestingly, the issue will disappear if the weather is cooler or if the car is driven for short distances in the city. I have brought the car to a shop before, but they were unable to reproduce the issue. It is hard to reproduce because the car needs to be driven for 20-30 minutes, preferably on the highway, before the steering stiffness occurs. It appears that this is a well-known issue at this point, and I have seen multiple reports online about the issue. From what I understand, the only fix at this point is to replace the EPS steering rack (part 53650-TBC-A02). However, it seems that some people have had the issue reoccur even after replacing the rack. I believe this issue is a major safety concern. The steering becomes unpredictable when driving in a straight line. I am forced to constantly overcorrect and weave back and forth when driving on the highway at 70+ mph, thus dramatically increasing the risk of an accident. There needs to be some sort of safety recall for this issue, as it seems to be a manufacturer issue with the EPS motor that has affected several vehicles.
My vehicle has oil dilution issue. The engine releases toxic gas from the engine compartment to interior of the car though the air duct. This gives me major headache and forces me to drive with my widow open as to not worsen my asthma issues. After checking the oil dipstick I can smell the gas aroma coming from the oil. This is a serious environmental issue and an even greater health concern of mine. I pray my health does not deteriorate to where I develop cancer from the toxins.
Vehicle is having electrics issues. It will start up and then when attempting to start it again, it will not start. This happens sporadically and the battery, starter and alternator have been tested in good condition and working as designed.
There could be nothing in front of my car and warning light could put up saying break break but there’s nothing in front of the car and it will just break itself. It has done that to me on the freeway. With the lane keep assist it’ll say I’m drifting out of my lane but I’m not in the car will start to pull itself back into a lame but I’ve never left lane and then but almost take you off the road if you don’t intervene
Driving at 60MPH, heard a loud bang followed by an increase in wind noise. After pulling over, saw that the sunroof had a large hole in it with most of the broken glass falling into the sunroof soft cover. The remaining glass had a spider-web like pattern all the way to the border. There was no evidence of any foreign object in the sunroof area or any impact/collision. The car was not being driven under trees or other overhangs. There was rain in the vicinity, but no hail. Temperature was 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit.
My AC stopped blowing cold air in October 2021. The car has 32,000 miles. (There is an error in the dealer report.) I brought the car to an independent mechanic. He said he could not fix the problem because only Honda dealers have the proper coolant for the system. The dealer said the front of the compressor is leaking at the gasket and needs to be replaced at a cost of $1350. This seems to be a common problem in this generation of Honda Civics. Honda has extended the warranty for the condenser, but not the compressor. They need to extend the warranty for the compressor as well. This is an unhealtful situation because leaking freon is not good and because now I have to drive with the windows open and breathe in the exhaust of other cars. Thank you.
Coils and spark plugs getting rust/wet by water intrusion causing emisions problems the car is unable to drive.
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the local dealer for an oil change and the contact was informed by the service tech that there was a lubrication leak underneath the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The local dealer replaced the half-shaft to fix the failure. The contact stated that several months later the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and the half-shaft was replaced 4 more times however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage is approximately 5,877. Consumer stated the report from field engineer done on 11/12/21 stating that there is a leak in bearing for the half shaft but it’s not there problem no repair authorization, happened also again on 12/10/2021.
ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPS): The EPS works fine when turning, but when going straight, especially over 40 mph, it will "stick" a bit. That is to say it will take a considerable effort to overcome the stiffness for a small correction in steering direction. This problem is found to be more critical when driving with close oncoming traffic.
Honda Service Bulletin 19-091 Warranty Extension : A/C Condenser Leaking My vehicle began to blow hot air on the driver side. No warning lights or service light warned me. I need to understand if my car is covered by the HONDA Service Bulletin 19-091
Unable to attain a comfortable cabin temperature due to a leaking evaporator located under the dashboard in the cabin. Driver comfort is necessary in the torrid Arizona heat. Driver discomfort can compromise the safe operation of a vehicle. A comfortably cooled cabin is essential for safe vehicle operation. Inhaling leaking refrigerant gas in a closed cabin is unhealthful and unsafe. Honda has built and delivered Civics with defective air conditioning components and then as these parts failed, the Civic owners have to pay for essential repairs. Honda did replace the condenser on this vehicle at no cost on 6/8/2020. The recent replacement of the evaporator and actuator valve did come at a discounted cost of $1,537.50. I appreciate the technicians that repaired the car. The failure of the condenser and the evaporator are indicative of the defective and deficient quality of the parts used and are a harbinger of more related parts to fail, namely the compressor, all tubing and related seals, and the dryer. These parts are not covered under any warranty. The only parts of reliable value are the knobs and buttons on the dashboard. I was not able to get possession of the evaporator that was removed because I did not make the request when the service order was written. It would have been helpful to evaluate the part for failure. I am not sure why Honda does not care to evaluate failed parts. The remedy for all affected Civic owners would be for the NHTSA to direct Honda USA to immediately remove every air conditioning component and replace the entire system with a highly reliable OEM quality air conditioning system that is immune from failure. The cost of this resolution would be paid entirely out of Honda executive management compensation. The NHTSA and Honda USA need to understand that safety cannot be compromised! There will be a declining demand for Honda cars made with deficient and defective parts
Key-less start system problem.... Car has 55000 miles and has been serviced at local Honda dealer on time every time. Car will start up in accessory mode after being turned off and goes into alarm. To turn off alarm I have to use door key. Keyless Remote does not work during the alarm stage and will work after restarting car. I have to unhook battery to keep car from alarming. I have already had remote replaced and reprogrammed. I have to go through a new system reset every time I use the car. Honda could not find a code error. I am concerned this is a major and dangerous problem with the electrical system, possibly control module or push start button. I have read numerous complaints of this issue online from many different Honda models including mine.
This to help all the others with the AC issue. 2019 bought the car and the AC barely worked. Have extended warranty with CarMax and went to Honda of winter park. Well my girlfriend did I was away. They charged her $350 to say the compressor was shot. And that the cost was around $2200. I find out and she goes to CarMax with the estimate and they replace everything. We break up I come back get in the car AC doesn't work. Now I'm in lake city, go to Honda, this is were you need to pay attention. The condenser was replaced, for free, they said it was $150 to find the problem. Had my 45k mile service done as well. Show up at the dealership and my cost? $0 To my shock the service manager was honest. The condenser is under Honda warranty. They waved the $150 cause I told them it couldn't be the compressor, had to be the condenser. And the they gave me the oil change for free. Do not let Honda service around the country charge you for the problem they already know. $300, to $700 estimates? Shameful. Go to Honda tell them it's the condenser. If the AC seems to blow out of 1 vent cold while the rest warm, or the AC is cold when it's still cool outside, or even hearing a slight hiss under the hood. It's the condenser. Tell them you want the condenser changed. Nothing else! You have control of what they fix on your car. They know what's wrong without lifting the hood. My AC is ice cold. Took 3 years but it works. You don't have to be charged for diagnosis. And everyone that was cheated and treated unfairly there is a Honda number of they're US home office. Call tell them. I was told by the service manager that $150 is the highest they go. Why? Cause they have to remove the front bumper just to check. So be specific. I need the condenser replaced.
There is an issue with the steering on my 2017 Civic. I noticed it several months ago and I believe it has gotten worse. The problem is most noticeable at highway speeds when the temperature is over 75 degrees. The problem is that if the steering wheel has been in the same position for several seconds, it tends to stick in that position and requires slightly more force to turn the wheel. I have found other reports of the problem on the internet along with a video of the problem at https://www.civicforums.com/forums/319-interior/370344-2016-honda-civic-lx-steering-wheel-sticky-stiff-jerky.html A video of the problem is at https://youtu.be/w5x_CaVHXmM This has not resulted in an accident. I have not taken it to a Honda dealer for diagnosis yet. The problem is reproducible.
Honda civic is a 2017 and the ac went out> there has been a lot of civics from 16-18 that have had the same issues. Honda will not do a recall due to defective A/C compressor units even though there has been several cases. summer is here and my 17 civic gets up to 110 degrees inside while transporting family. i have done some research and there is tons of websites filled with people complaining about the same issue. this has cost them hundreds of dollars and still no recall.
The AC is not working, I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the air conditioner. They charged $1800. Under the 6 month warranty I took it back because it was not cooling, the repair shop said the car had little holes near the condenser which drained out the Freon, they filled it again with Freon
My 2017 Honda Civic has been blowing out hot air. At just 36k miles. It is unsafe to be driving my younger siblings and nephew in this hot weather, My vehicle is a salvage so “it wasn’t applicable for me to get the recall” but I believe that shouldn’t matter Honda purposely knew their were defects in the AC but yet do not want to own up to it and fix it.
The air conditioner stopped cooling and was throwing out warm air. When we took the car to the local Honda dealer they said it was covered under an a/c condenser recall TSB 19-091:6C300. On 7/8/2021 after the repair was completed, the tech mentioned that even after they replaced the condenser there was still a leak in the compressor and we need to get that replaced as well. The compressor is not covered under warranty or recall and we may have to spend about $1200 for it. This 2017 Honda Civic was purchased by us on 8/31/2020 from another Honda dealer who (we found out later) had already replaced the condenser under the same recall notice on 8/6/2020 before selling it to us. It seems the leaking a/c condenser is also damaging the compressor over a period or the entire a/c unit had manufacturing defects and should be covered under the recall.
The A/C does not work at all. With A/C on max, warm air blows.
Air conditioning started to blow hot and the Freon was low. Had to refill the Freon which is using the new R-1234yf fluid which is hard to find at autozone and is very expensive for a 1 pound can at $50. Still cheaper than a mechanic or dealership price. Problem is that the car has 27000 miles and has only been driven sparingly and was never abused. A month later and it’s starting to blow warmer only on 100 degree weather. I currently cannot afford to have full repairs done to the AC. Never had hit anything with my car. Paint and interior is in near excellent condition. So it’s obviously not my fault. Honda should be ashamed.
When driving on highways the steering has a catch/ jerk when making any tracking movement. It causes a jerk movement anytime you try to even slightly change your position in your lane. No warning lights are showing.
Honda gives the condenser problem a extended warranty, yet they are not addressing the EVAP leak as their faulty. This EVAP leak is apparent to civic owners and they need to take the full responsibility for the malfunction. I drove over 3 years with less than 20,000 miles on the car, which should not have the a/c problem.
Drivers side of the car AC blows warm air. Passenger side blows cold air.
My air conditioner does not blow cold air as was working before. It has 30,000 miles. Dealership said condenser would be replaced if defective. It would cost $500. to inspect and determine the cause. Defective condenser could have caused damages to other parts of air conditioning unit. I cannot afford $500. to inspect to find possible damage to operation of car, such as electrical, or leaks, or compressor. Along with refrigerant quoted by dealership at $150. per pound. The air conditioning unit was poorly designed as a common issue other owners have experienced. Repairs could result in the thousands of dollars. No warning lamps , messages, or other symptoms noticed. I checked fuse and relay. Freon refrigerant should not have leaked as I have never had this happen with other cars I’ve owned with much more mileage. Heat in parked car in sun could be detrimental to my young children. If car should be inspected by auto air conditioning specialist shop, and repairs made, would dealership complete repair of condenser if it is the cause. Auto air conditioning specialist would cost cheaper than $500. Their hourly rates are cheaper. To inspect and determine the cause. My name is [XXX] and can be reached at[XXX].

The AC in my '17 Honda Civic Hatchback went out and I took it to the local dealership (where purchased) to have it diagnosed. Upon review, they informed me the AC's evaporator unit is leaking and it will cost $2K to replace. I'm aware there is a recall (TSB 19-091) on the condenser from 2016-2018 Civics. Honda came out with a TSB regarding this issue, all 2016-2018 civics have 10yr/unlimited mile warranties now on condensers. TSB 19-091, dated Dec 11th 2019. Per the bulletin: " American Honda is extending the warranty on the A/C condenser to 10 years from the original date of purchase with unlimited miles. This warranty only covers vehicles that have a defective A/C condenser from the factory. The A/C condenser was not manufactured to specification. As a result, tiny holes may develop in the condenser tube walls that allows the refrigerant to leak out. " However, there seems to be an equally large number of complaints online about compressors and evaporators failing in those years of Civic as well. As such, it turns out failure across ALL the components of the AC system (compressors/condensers/evaporators) is relatively common after only a handful of years. I believe an amended bulletin should be provided to cover ALL repairs across the AC system. As a Father, with two kids under the age of 2, it's not suitable for them to ride in a vehicle without AC. Especially with the 100+ temps we get in the middle of Kansas in Summer. Additionally, the lack of a function AC debilitates the function of the Defrost making it extremely dangerous to drive in foggy, rainy, and/or humid conditions. There are multiple articles explaining these exact malfunctions as well: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/2016-2019-evaporator-failures-leaks.52319/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Honda/comments/lyne6q/2017_honda_civic_ac_evaporator_leaking/?utm_source=BD&utm_medium=Search&utm_name=Bing&utm_content=PSR1 There were no warnings prior to my AC going out.
A/C compressor failed. Mileage 51,000.
happens with out the key near the car. 2017 Honda Civic, Car will trigger itself to start to accessory mode, turning on headlights, wipers (if switch is on), and sometimes triggering the alarm system when locked and armed. just the electronics turn on by itself. It occurs both when I am in the vehicle, and when no keys are in the vehicle sometimes every error message shows. Several times I will go to my car and the system will be on, or the car will be dead and have to be jumped from being on without me knowing. I'm currently disconnecting the battery. This is a video of another person with the exact problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKdfkzsnXT0
This vehicle was purchased in May 2017 and in April of 2021 the paint started peeling off the exterior around the rear window. This does not put my safety at risk but I do see that Honda has had this problem with many of their vehicles in recent years. This problem was reported to American Service Honda on June 4 2021, but because I am days past the expiration date of warranty Honda refuses to diagnose the issue without cost to me. I did not immediately report it when first noticed because I had not realized how recent this car was purchased. But like stated prior, Honda has confirmed the same issue for other of their models in recent years. I have owned other vehicles like toyotas and other brands to which do not have the same issue so it is not due to sun damage nor wear. Another issue is that the window trims on all passenger and driver windows are breaking shrinking and falling apart. Again this is also known problem with honda cars in consumer reports.org all throughout the U.S . This may be of safety concern if they fall off while driving I wouldn't want it to land on another cars front window or perhaps the windows can be damaged or cracked. One last thing that is also a common issue for hondas, that is an issue for mine is that the front bumper is very low it gets stuck on parking bumpers this causes the sides to start breaking and if it were to fall off it would be a major safety concern.
My sedan isnt cooling since last 3 weeks. My local dealer Honda dealer Elk Grove is charging me $450. just to check this time with no repairs. I am concern its just 3.5 years old. Please Look into this Mileage 42000.
My 2017 Honda Civic EXL hatchback has a little over 23000 miles. I bought it back in 2016 and have no issues until last summer. The ac blows hot air and under the hood there is a hissing sound coming from the front passenger side. I live in Florida and thank God I have no children to suffer with me. I have to completely change my schedule to night because the heat is unbearable and I'm worried about my health and safety. I'm now aware that Honda is having all this issues with the ac for years and have done nothing about it. The dealers only want to charge people to have it fix knowing it was defective from the beginning. Just a diagnostic is about $700. Do people need to die of heat strokes before doing a recall?
Vehicle loses AC refrigerant. They replaced leaky condenser after my having to take it in 13 times and fight with them. Now AC evaporator makes noise and they won't replace it because it hasn't completely failed. I paid 1846.00 extra to have an extended warranty but it has done me no good. Now my warranty has run out and I face a failing AC system known to have a refrigerant that eats holes in every part of the AC system. If my AC system fails and I can't afford to fix it, I risk fogged up windows and loss of vision and heatstroke when it is hot and I live in California and it is hot often.
2017 honda civic, 60K miles, started blowing warm air. Dealership stated it wasn't the condenser thats under active recall, it just happens to be the compressor. $2500 to fix, 3 weeks and I havent heard from Honda Corp. This presents a clear safety concern under wet and humid conditions due to condensation on the windshield.
I HAVE A 2017 Honda Civic. The Air conditioner stopped working. it does not blow cold air. the compressor clutch does engage but no cold air will come out of the system. the car is not even 4 years old and has 45,000 miles it should not have to be recharged
FRONT WINDSHIELD CAME DEFECTIVE FROM FACTORY WITH AIR BUBBLES BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE RUBBER AFFECTING THE INTEGRITY OF IT, THAT ALSO MAKES THE GLASS WEAK AND IT CRACKS TOO EASY. MY PROBLEM WITH THE GLASS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE WITH JUST LETTING THE WIPER FALL ON IT WHILE I WAS WASHING IT. IT REPRESENTS A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.
STARTED CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND, AND A BUNCH OF ERROR/PROBLEM CODES APPEARED ON DASH ONE BY ONE AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. ALL YELLOW LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH EVERY PROBLEM. HAD NO ISSUE TURNING ON, STAYING IN MOTION, SITTING IDLE FOR 30 MIN, OR BRAKING, YET EVERY ISSUE WAS STILL ON DISPLAY AFTER MULTIPLE STARTUPS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT IN BUT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS. HAD TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LATE AFTERNOON. SERVICE IS MAKING REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES AT THE APPROVAL OF AMERICAN HONDA (NOT EVEN INVOLVING EXTENDED WARRANTY.) FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT HONDA HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS.
SUDDEN BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE, FALSE WARNINGS (WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY) TO LIGHT UP SUCH AS BRAKE SYSTEM, STEERING, OIL, BATTERY, KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM. DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW IF SHE/HE SHOULD HEED THESE WARNINGS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. CAR ACCESSORY MODE WOULD TURN ON BY ITSELF (WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY IS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE) AND DRAIN OUT BATTERY. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND BCM FAULTY. PLEASE REFER TO RECALL #: 20V-771 ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE HONDA CIVICS.
AIR CONDITIONER IN VEHICLE STOPPED COOLING CAUSING EXCESS BUILD UP OF MOISTURE ON INTERIOR WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS IMPAIRING VISIBILITY AND SAFE OPERATION OF VEHICLE. RAINING PREVENTED THE ABILITY TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS. HAD TO MANUALLY WIPE THE INTERIOR OF WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD TO SEE CONSTANTLY UNTIL I MADE IT BACK TO MY HOME.
STEERING FEELS LIKE IT STICKS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAY OR FAST CITY STREET, REQUIRING EXTRA FORCE TO CORRECT STEERING, RESULTING IN DANGEROUS OVERCORRECTIONS. NOT NOTICEABLE WHEN NAVIGATING A CURVE OR CORNER.
AIR CONDITIONER FAILS TO COOL AND INSTEAD BLOWS HOT AIR. HONDA AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS CONFIRMED THAT A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAS CAUSED FREEON LEAKAGE FROM THE COMPRESSOR'S MAIN SHAFT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.
THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPS BLOWING COLD AIR AT IDLE AND OCCASIONALLY EVEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS MAY POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN HOTTER CLIMATES IF THERE ARE CHILDREN, ELDERLY PEOPLE, SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS, OR PETS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED.
AT COLD START, THE IDLING ENGINE SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL, DASHBOARD, AND MUCH OF THE CABIN. IT FEELS LIKE A POORLY SEATED MOTOR MOUNT. I'VE DRIVEN CIVICS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE NEVER FELT A SHAKE LIKE THIS ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT IN HOPES OF REPLICATING THE COLD START. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BUT I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY.
2020 I HAVEN'T USED THE CAR MUCH DO TO COVID-19. MAYBE 1000 MILES. FEBRUARY 2021 I NOTICED THE COLD AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. SEEMS THAT THE AIR ONLY BLOWS. I JUST DISCOVERED TODAY THAT HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE ISSUES WITH AC CONDENSERS. I SENT AN EMAIL TO HONDA TO SEE IF MY VIN HAS THE WARRANTY FOR THE CONDENSER. I WILL INSPECT IT AND SEE IF THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON. CAR HAS 40K MILES. 2017 SEDAN EX 2.0L NEED AC TO DEFOG WINDSHIELD FOR VISIBILITY! AND KEEP ME COOL SO I CAN OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY! I'M NOT SURE IF IT FAILED AT SOME POINT IN 2020. BUT I JUST NOTICED IT NOW DURING SOME VERY HOT DAYS. AUTOMATIC BREAKING SHOULD HAVE RECALL. WHEN I DRIVE AND SOMEONE IN FRONT JUMPS ACROSS MY LANE TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE, THE CAR WILL SLAM THE BRAKES AFTER THE CAR IN FRONT IS ALREADY LEFT THE LANE AND IT'S INSIDE ANOTHER LANE. THAT'S A VERY DELAYED RESPONSE AND UNNECESSARY BECAUSE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME NEED TO GET ON THE BRAKE HARD TO AVOID HITTING ME. I TRY TO FLOOR IT IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T LET ME. THE ONLY THING THIS LEAVES ME TO DO IS DISABLED THE SYSTEM BY HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON. BUT THAT REMOVES THE SAFETY FEATURES. SOMETIMES SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME BRAKES FAST SUDDENLY. I JUMP TO ANOTHER LANE AND THE SYSTEM APPLIES THE BRAKES ONCE I ALREADY JUMPED INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH NOBODY IN IT. HOWEVER IF THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND, THEN THE PERSON HONKS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES! I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THIS. IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE AND THEN STALL. THERE WERE SEVERAL CODES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS RESET BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES OR REMOVING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH A DEALER. THE CONTACT LEARNED OF SERVICE BULLETIN: 10142655 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,300.
JUST THE OTHER DAY I FLOORED IT TO PASS SOMEONE AND MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AS I PRESSED THE GAS THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP BUT I HAD 0 ACCELERATION. I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY WHEN I TURNED IT, MY CAR STAR SHUTTLE BEFORE STOP THE ACCELERATION AND HAPPEND EVERY TIME WHEN I TRY ACCELERATE THE CAR
I WAS ON AN ERRAND TRIP FROM ALHAMBRA TO SANTA ANA. AIR CONDITIONER IS WORKING FINE UNTIL I STOPPED TO DROP OFF DOCUMENTS IN ALHAMBRA. THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING WHEN I RETURN AND STARTUP MY CAR. MY VEHICLE WAS AT 66700 MILES. NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. NORM REEVES HONDA AT WEST COVINA DIAGNOSED BOTH A/C COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE LEAKING. REQUEST GOODWILL REPAIR FROM AMERICA HONDA BUT WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED.
MY CAR ALARM RANDOMLY STARTED GOING OFF WHILE PARKED FOR THREE DAYS, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BACK TO BACK AT 2AM WHILE PARKED. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF WITH MY KEY FOB AND IT WOULD NOT REGISTER. I OPENED THE CAR WITH THE KEY IN THE FOB AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE STARTED AND I REMAINED PARKED. THEN I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, INSTEAD THE LIGHTS FLICKERED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR STAYED ON. I TRIED IT 2 MORE TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH. ALL THE WARNING SIGNS CAME ON THE CAR INCLUDING A BREAK SYSTEMS ERROR AND A TIRE PRESSURE ERROR. AFTER THIS, I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF MY FOB AND NOW THE CAR BATTERY IS DEAD. I POWERED UP THE BATTERY TODAY BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THE DASH TURNS ON BUT THEN IT JUST FLICKERS AND GIVES ME ALL THE SAME WARNING SIGNS. I FOUND THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 CIVICS AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2017 AND 2018 CIVIC AS WELL. MINE IS A 2017 CIVI AND IT'S HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES THAT COULD BE DEADLY IF THEY HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY.
STARTED DRIVING WHEN SEVERAL WARNING LABELS CAME ON THAT INCLUDED BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, EMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE, HILL ASSIST FAILURE, AND POWER STEERING PROBLEM ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND BLOCK USING BRAKES, NORMAL POWER, RUNNING FINE. GOT INTO DRIVE WAY BRAKES NOT WORKING ALMOST RUNNING INTO GARAGE DOOR. SHUT OF CAR, UNPLUG BATTERY, AND WAIT TO RESET COMPUTER. PLUG BATTERY BACK ON WORK FOR 4 DAYS THEN DID IT AGAIN. LUCKY I WASNT DRIVING FASTER AND THERE WASN'T A CHILD IN FRONT OF CAR WHEN BRAKES QUIT WORKING. SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET RUN OVER IF THIS COMPUTER/ SOFTWARE IS NOT FIXED. IT SHOULDN'T COME TO THAT.
AIR CONDITIONING - NO LONGER BLOWS COLD AIR - THERE IS NO RECALL YET THERE ARE A LOT OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THIS YEAR HONDAS QUIT WORKING AFTER 36,000 MILE MARK.
MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T COUPE SHUTS DOWN MY DIGITAL SCREEN AND AUDIO SYSTEM WITH THE MESSAGE "AMP IS IN PROTECTION MODE" THIS THEN MAKES ANY HANDS FREE DEVICES TURN COMPLETELY OFF FROM THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN MY STATE, CELL PHONES AND ANY OTHER FORM OF ELECTRONICS ARE NOT PERMITTED. SO WHEN BEING ON THE PHONE OR USING GPS IT SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN AND THATS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I RECENTLY WENT TO MANY HONDA DEALERS AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY TOLD ME HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND THAT THEY RECALLED THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT SINCE THEY DIDN'T RECALL THE 2017 HONDA CIVICS THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS PROBLEM IS STRESSING ME OUT BECAUSE I CAN'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON MY GPS OR ANSWER IMPORTANT CALLS IF NEEDED. ALSO I WENT TO AUDIO TECHS WHO TOLD ME THIS IS THE MOST BIZARRE SITUATION THEY'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR FOR ME TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY ON MY NEW CAR (ONLY OWNED FOR 3 MONTHS). I AM ALSO A FIRST TIME BUYER AND THIS MAKES ME REGRET EVER BUYING A CAR! THE VEHICLE IS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE MESSAGE OCCURS AND THEN SHUTS OFF EVERYTHING. I EVEN GOT MY WHOLE AUDIO SYSTEM AND AMP TAKEN OUT FOR FURTHER TESTS AND NO-ONE SEEMS TO KNOW. IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP IN ANYWAY TO RECALL THE 2017 CIVICS WITH THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
MY SON AND I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2017 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN ON DEC 3RD FROM HONDA OF LISLE IL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 22,100 MILES. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON DEC 10TH AND STOPPED FOR GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP. HE NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE IMMEDIATELY CAM HOME AND CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. AS HE WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER HE GOT ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE CAR FROZE UP AND IMMEDIATELY BURST INTO FLAMES. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AS HE WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A LAW THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE IT BACK WITHIN 15 DAYS OR LESS THAN 500 MILES, THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I NEEDED TO GET MY INSURANCE INVOLVED. A FIRE INSPECTOR HIRED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY LOOKED AT THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND SUSPECTED THE FIRE STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE ENGINEER INSPECT IT AT A COST OF $5,000 THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT PURSUE FURTHER. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A CERTIFIED CAR WITH 22K MILES. FULL VIDEO HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/TTSVY7ZGMW8
THE PAINT AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD IS PEELING OFF OUR 2017 HONDA CIVIC. IT STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND NOW THE LEFT SIDE HAS STARTED PEELING PRETTY QUICK. THERE'S ONE SPOT WHERE THE PAINT IS CRACKED AND SOME RUST CAN BE SEEN AROUND THE EDGE. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND STAYS INSIDE THE GARAGE WHEN WE ARE AT HOME.
CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND THE ALARM SET ITSELF OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ANY KEY FOB COMMANDS AND THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY LIT WITH FLASHING SAFETY FEATURE WARNING LIGHTS, AND AIRBAGS WERE ALSO DISABLED. HAD TO OPEN THE CAR WITH THE MANUAL KEY, SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB. STARTED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OFF AGAIN, IT REFUSED AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I PROCEEDED TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AFTER MULTIPLE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB AND THEY TURNED THE CAR OFF. TWO DAYS LATER I DROVE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE WHOLE WAY THERE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED AND NOT WORKING. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COOPERATE OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AT HAND. TOOK IT TWO TIMES JUST TO BE TURNED AWAY AND TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OUT, AS THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, ONLY HAS 14,600 MILES. DEALERSHIP MANAGER TOLD US THAT CORPORATE HONDA COMMANDED HIM NOT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND TO TELL US TO PICK IT UP. DROVE THE CAR BACK STILL BROKEN, WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES NOT WORKING, WARNING LIGHTS ON, AND THE ALARM CONTINUES TO SET ITSELF OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNUSABLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW, FOR IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ATTEMPTED VARIOUS TIMES TO CONTACT CORPORATE HONDA FOR HELP WITH THIS ISSUE, YET THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT RESPOND. PLEASE HELP, THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND MUST BE RECALLED. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR HONDA TO OWN UP? IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN FOR THEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE CAR IS CONTROLLED BY UNRESPONSIVE ELECTRONICS.
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA, STATING THAT THE A/C CONDENSER ON MY 2017 CIVIC WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION, WHICH MAY ALLOW REFRIGERANT TO LEAK OUT. THE LETTER THEN STATES IF THE A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR, TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS I AGREED TO PAY $330 FOR THE INSPECTION, IN CASE THE INSPECTION SHOWS THE CONDENSER IS NOT LEAKING. I FEEL THAT IF HONDA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CONDENSER AND IF THERE IS ANY INDICATION OF A POSSIBLE FAILURE (SUCH AS THE A/C NOT BLOWING COLD AIR), HONDA SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THE FAULTY CONDENSER IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. BUT HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE INSPECTION. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.
WE DRIVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCH AND WE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH RODENT ISSUE CHEWING THRU WIRE. WE NOW HAVE TO FIX IT AND REPLACE WIRE AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL PUT A TAKE TO DETERS RODENTS. WE HAVE TO PAY $500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIS POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID WE HAVE TO PAY FOR DAMAGE BUT THEY DID SAY MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUE. SO IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HELP
2017 HONDA CIVIC WITH 23,400 MILES A/C ONCE AGAIN STOPPED WORKING. SYSTEM WAS CHECKED BY HONDA AND RE-CHARGED UNDER WARRANTY BUT A/C IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS DRIVING SCENARIO IN WHICH THE FRONT WINDOW WOULD NOT DEFROST DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM
A/C CONDENSOR HAS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DETAILED HERE HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2019/MC-10163796-0001.PDF A/C HAS BEEN RECHARGED WITH REFRIGERANT, WHICH CONTINUES TO LEAK. THE PART HAS NO EXTERNAL IMPACT DAMAGE,!ONLY THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT TEARS. WHEN A/C HAS REFRIGERANT, A HISSING NOISE WAS NOTICED DURING A/C USE, UNTIL REFRIGERANT FULLY EMPTIED FROM THE UNIT. THERE IS ALREADY AN NHTSA DOCUMENT DETAILING EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE PART FOR HONDA CIVICS, BUT IT EXCLUDES HATCHBACKS.
SOMETIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT CRANK AND START. THE ELECTRIC POWER WILL COME ON (DASH BOARD ICONS, HEADLIGHTS, ETC.), BUT IT WILL NOT CRANK. IT TAKES FROM 2 TO 7 TURNS OF THE KEY, BEFORE IT CRANKS AND STARTS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SOMETIMES ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES 2 OR 3 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, ON THE DAY I TOOK IT IN, OF COURSE, IT WAS WORKING FINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEIR COMPUTER COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS IT, UNLESS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, OR THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE DEALER YET. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES ON IT.
ON MY HONDA CIVIC I HAVE THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WHICH WAS VERIFIED BY A MECHANIC. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGE THEY SAID GASOLINE CAME OUT WITH THE OIL. TWO DAYS BEFORE I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGE THE FUEL IN THE OIL CAUSED MY ENGINE TO STALL AND ME AND MY FRIEND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY MANY CARS FLYING UP ON US. WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET JUST BARELY INCHES OFF THE FREEWAY BUT EVERY CAR CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING OUR CAR AND ALMOST KILLING US. AFTER A WHILE THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED BACK UP AND WE CONTINUED DOWN THE FREEWAY ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR STALL AGAIN AND WE NEARLY GETTING HIT AGAIN BY ANOTHER CAR. I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR NOW AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL MINE AND OTHERS CARS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS COULD CAUSE FATALITIES. I HAVE THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE BY THE WAY AND I'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHERS WITH THIS MOTOR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW THE FUEL MIXING WITH THE OIL CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. ALL I KNOW IS CONSUMER REPORTS HAS OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONING THEIR ENGINE STALLING. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE SOMETHING THE ENGINE DETECTS IN THE OIL AND SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN AS A WAY OF PROTECTING IT FROM POSSIBLE LOW OIL PRESSURE BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. BY THE WAY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED. RECENTLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING THAT MUCH AND THEREFORE THE OIL WAS DILUTING WITH THE FUEL MORE THAN NORMAL SO THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. AND ALSO I LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. HONDA THINKS THAT IT'S ONLY HAPPENING IN COLDER COLDER CLIMATES WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. YOU CAN LITERALLY SMELL GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE DIPSTICK WAS 1/2 QT. OVER. STILL HAD 50% OIL LIFE.
AIR CONDITIONING CONTINUES TO NOT WORK RIGHT. COMPRESSOR REPLACED AND NOW A YEAR LATER SYSTEM LOOSES FREON AND BLOWS WARM AIR AGAIN. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND HAVE THE AC UNITS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO CONSUMERS.
A/C STOP BLOWING COLD AIR. TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION TURNS OUT IT IS THE EVAPORATOR HAS A LEAK. WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER IT ANYMORE. 2,200 TO REPLACE IT'S DISAPPOINTING NEWER MODEL HAVING ISSUES LIKE THESE. MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC BLOWS COLD AFTER 10 YEAR. HONDA I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CUSTOMER THAT ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES, WE BELIEVED IN HONDA BUT SADLY IT IS DISAPPOINTING.
THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPS BLOWING COLD AIR AT IDLE AND OCCASIONALLY EVEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS MAY POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN HOTTER CLIMATES IF THERE ARE CHILDREN, ELDERLY PEOPLE, SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS, OR PETS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. READING THROUGH THE WORLD WIDE WEB OR INTERNET, THOUSANDS, IF NOT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY AC CONDENSER FROM THE FACTORY. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE CONDENSER WARRANTY BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A FULL RECALL OR WARRANTY ON THE OTHER PARTS/LABOR INVOLVED. FOR EXAMPLE, EXPENSIVE REFRIGERANTS, PARTS, AND LABOR. THE FIRST CONDENSER REPLACED IN JANUARY 2020 AND LOST ALL REFRIGERANT IN OCTOBER 2020. I TOOK MY CIVIC INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND GOT IT TESTED FOR A/C LEAKS IN SEPTEMBER 2020. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THE CONDENSER BUT ANOTHER PART NEXT TO THE FIREWALL, COSTING 440 DOLLARS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP A FEW WEEKS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO REFRIGERANT. I PAID OVER 300 DOLLARS TO GET THE A/C CHECKED AND THE TEST WAS DONE WITH A DYE SOLUTION THAT CAN BE SEEN BY UV LIGHT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF LEAKS DURING THE DIAGNOSIS. THE REFRIGERANT SHOULD BE TESTED FURTHER OR HONDA SHOULD REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING PARTS ALL AROUND. I KNOW THIS ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR BECAUSE OF UNDERLYING PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED A/C PARTS. VERY RESPECTFULLY, A WORRIED PARENT
THE A/C ON THESE VEHICLES STOP WORKING AFTER A WHILE. KNOW OTHER PEOPLE THAT OWN A 2016/2017 HONDA CIVIC AND THE A/C STOPS WORKING. WE'VE ALL TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY TRY CHARGING AN ARM TO FIX IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR FOR US CUSTOMERS TO BE BUYING FULL PRICE FOR THESE VEHICLES WHEN THEY KNOW THE AFFECTS THEY HAVE AND THEN STEAL FROM US TO GET IT FIXED.
THE A/C CONDENSER LOCATED IN THE CABIN DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL EARLIER IN THE YEAR FOR HAVING A FREON LEAK IN THE CABIN. 6 MONTHS LATER THE A/C IS NOT WORKING AGAIN, AND THE DEALERSHIP SUSPECTS THAT THE EVAPORATOR HAS A LEAK. RESEARCHING ONLINE YIELDED ME SIMILAR RESULTS OF OWNERS REPORTING A CONDENSER LEAK AND THEN AN EVAPORATOR LEAK WITH FREON FLOWING INTO THE CABIN AIR. I ASSUME BEING IN A CLOSED CABIN WITH LEAKING FREON IS WHAT SPURRED A RECALL ON THE CONDENSERS AND, IN MY OPINION, THE EVAPORATOR SHOULD BE IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE BEGAN LOSING POWER. SOON AFTER, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO CLEAR THE BUSY FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION HONDA IN CHANDLER, AZ, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED FUEL IN THE OIL. HE SAID HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS 1.5 TURBO ENGINE, BUT NO FIX EXISTED. HE CHANGED THE OIL AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO ME. AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THE HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE ISSUE. I KNOW HONDA SAYS IT ONLY HAPPENS IN COLD CLIMATES, BUT THAT DAY WAS OVER 100 DEGREES F. ALSO, THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP APPROX. 6 WEEKS EARLIER AND ONLY 619 MILES BEFORE THE EVENT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ON THE FREEWAY IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.
DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WILL FAIL AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THIS INCLUDES ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST AND MORE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE. WHILE THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE IT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY RESULT IN A MAJOR CRASH AND INJURY.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FAIL TO TURN ON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON, ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL HAVE .5-1 SECOND DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP/IDLE CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS. SINCE PURCHASE, THERE HAVE BEEN 10-15 EPISODES WHERE I ATTEMPT TO TURN ON ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BUT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE. I ONLY GET 3 BEEPS AND AN "ACC OFF" INDICATION ON THE DASH. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, FOR THE REST OF THAT DRIVE, THERE IS A PEDAL DEAD ZONE/SEVERE ACCELERATION DELAY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THIS DELAY IN ACCELERATION HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN PULLING OUT WITH OBSTRUCTED VIEWS AS I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BUT GET NO RESPONSE FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE 1 SECOND WHILE ANOTHER CAR COMES INTO VIEW AND IS FAST APPROACHING. ONCE THE INITIAL ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE OCCURS, ACC AND TRADITIONAL CRUISE CONTROL WILL BOTH FAIL TO START ACROSS MULTIPLE DRIVES AND ENGINE STARTS. THE SEVERE PEDAL DELAY WILL RETURN ACROSS ENGINE STARTS AS SOON AS THE ACC BUTTON IS PRESSED. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ACC AND NORMAL CRUISE CONTROL ONCE IN THIS STATE IS TO REMOVE POWER FROM THE BATTERY AND WAIT A MINUTE, THEN POWER ON THE ENGINE AND LET SYSTEMS RESTART. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERS CLOSE TO 10 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. IN CONSULTATION WITH HONDA TECHLINE THE FOLLOWING PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES AT RANDOM INTERVALS: FORWARD LOOKING CAMERA, FORWARD RADAR SENSOR, MAIN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, PEDAL SENSOR, WINDSHIELD, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY. APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE BUG IN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM THAT CAUSES SYSTEM TO CRASH AND NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL ENGINE COMPUTER RESET. I'D GLADLY WORK DIRECTLY WITH HONDA FOR TROUBLESHOOTING, I'M 3-4 PEOPLE REMOVED WHEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL LIKE ALL MY INFO IS NOT BEING COMMUNICATED CORRECTLY.
I PURCHASED A 2017 CIVIC HATCHBACK EX W/ SENSING IN LATE MAY 2017. IN MAY 2020, THE AC STOPPED WORKING. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CONDENSER AND THAT THEY COULD GIVE A "GOODWILL" REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT $350. AT THAT POINT I WAS AWARE OF THE CONDENSER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO ACCEPTED DUE TO THE COMPRESSOR BEING THE STATED ISSUE. WITH THE PANDEMIC I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING A LOT, BUT I NOTICED IN SEPTEMBER 2020 THAT MY AC WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND NOW THEY SAY IT IS THE CONDENSER THAT IS BROKEN. HOWEVER, THE SB-19-091 DOES NOT APPLY TO HATCHBACKS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS IT'S CLEAR EVEN FROM A CURSORY SEARCH THAT HATCHBACKS ARE ALSO IMPACTED. THEY OFFERED ANOTHER "GOODWILL" FIX THAT IS EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE FIRST ONE. WHEN I CALLED CORPORATE THEY INITIALLY REFUSED TO FORWARD MY CASE. IT'S SUSPICIOUS THAT THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN THEY SAID THE CONDENSER, WHICH AT THAT POINT THEY NEVER TOLD ME WAS NOT COVERED, WAS NOT LEAKING AND INSTEAD SAID THE COMPRESSOR. NOW, IT IS SUDDENLY THE CONDENSER AND IS NOT IN WARRANTY EITHER. I EXPECT IF THE CONDENSER GETS FIX SOMETHING ELSE WILL BE WRONG. HONDA NEEDS TO STOP DEFLECTING CUSTOMERS ON THIS ISSUE AND FIX THEIR CARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT GETS VERY HOT IN MY REGION AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO REMAIN IN AN ENCLOSED HOT SPACE FOR HOURS AT A TIME.
I CHANGED THE OIL AT A DEALER IN EARLY AUG, BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH, THE OIL DILUTION ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN. I CAN SMELL GAS IN THE OIL, AND THE DIPSTICK SHOWED THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS FAR BEYOND THE EXPECTED RANGE.
I PURCHASE MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. SOON AFTER ITS WARRANTY EXPIRED THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN GETTING WARMER AND NOT COOLING DOWN AS MUCH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE NOW BLOWS EITHER HOT OR WARM AIR AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLOWS COOL BUT NOT COLD AIR. THE COOLEST THE AIR GETS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS IS 61F BUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BARELY COOLS DOWN ON WARM AND HOT DAYS. THE AIR IS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 45F AS IT EXITS THE VENTS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT I COULD COOL THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ON HOT DAYS. DRIVING IN THE HEAT MAKES ME SLEEPY. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED CLOSE TO $400 DOLLARS JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THE COST COULD GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDING ON THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN SO SOON TO A NEW CAR. I HAD A 2000 CIVIC FOR 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AC. I FOUND ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS DIFFICULTY. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. WITH THE AC PROBLEM THE DEFROSTER NOW DOESN'T NOT WORK AS WELL AS IT HAD DONE WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THIS INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE CLEAR WINDOWS ARE NECESSARY TO DRIVE SAFELY. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW IS THE APPROXIMATE THE DATE I NOTICED THE AC WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.
VEHICLE LOST ALL 1234YF COOLANT AND WAS REPLACED ALOMG WITH A DECARB AND RE-SEAL AS WELL AS A FILL UP AND IT IS BLOWING HOTTER THAN BEFORE ONLY 1 MONTH AFTER REPAIR. I HAVE LOST APPROX 2 FULL CHARGES WORTH OF FREEON INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. IT WAS LEAK TESTED TWICE AND BOTH PLACES DID NOT FIND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM AND IN APRIL OF 2020, HAMER HONDA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AS I WAS BUYING OUT THE LEASE AND FOUND NO ISSUES EITHER, YET HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE OF THE DIAGNOSES. MALFUNCTION OF THE A/C SYSTEM CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE OF OTHER PARTS AS WELL AS THE FREEON LEAKING INTO THE CLOSED ENGINE BAY. WORKED FINE ONE DAY AND THE NEXT IT WAS HOT AIR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIX PROBLEM BETWEEN THE NEW TYPE OF REFRIGERANT AND THE MISDIAGNOSES OF MULTIPLE ACCREDITED BUSINESSES. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE REPAIRS AS WELL BUT NOT ON MY DEVICE AT THE TIME OF THIS FILING.
"ALL WINDOWS DOWN" FEATURE ON REMOTE KEY FOB CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATED TOO EASILY, MAKING CAR VULNERABLE TO BREAK-INS AND INTERIOR DAMAGE. THIS FEATURE CANNOT BE DISABLED.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM GOES FROM COLD TO HOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. DURING VERY HOT DAYS CABIN BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT EVEN WITH FAN TURNED TO HIGH AND A/C TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. HAVE HEARD THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS AS WELL. BECOMES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TRYING TO DRIVE WHILE CABIN IS HOT. HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT IDLE
EXPERIENCED DAMAGED A/C COMPRESSOR , JUST AFTER COMPLETING 3 YEARS AND HONDA WON'T REPAIR. HUNDREDS OF HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAS EXPERIENCED SAME A/C ISSUES AND HONDA WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.
HONDA REPAIRED THE CONDENSER IN MY VEHICLE BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE, IT BLOWS HOT AIR OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD AIR OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT IT BLEW PIECES OF ICE OUT OF THE VENT.
I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY A/C WITHIN 12MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE A/C WOULD BLOW HOT AIR SPORADICALLY AND WHEN I BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO LOOK INTO, THEY REPORTED THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE A/C WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE WOULD CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVERY SUMMER UP UNTIL NOW, WHERE IT HAS COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND ONLY BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND MORE THAN LIKELY IT WAS THE CONDENSER OR COMPRESSOR. I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO UPWARD OF $1800 FOR THE REPAIR.
MY CAR RANDOMLY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FORCING ME TO TURN ON HAZARDS AND MAKE MY WAY FROM THE EXPRESS LANE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP GOING 20 MPH WHILE TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH RAPIDLY CAUSING FURTHER ANXIETY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY TO SAFETY AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY CAR DELIVERED TO THE NEAREST HONDA (WALNUT CREEK CA) HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AVAILABILITY FOR A FEW DAYS. THE CAR ALSO HAD LOTS OF SMOKE COMING OUT THE EXHAUST AND READ CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON AND OFF. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME TO REPAIR. ON TOP OF ALL THE WORK I'LL LOOSE BEING MY WORK RELIES ON MY CAR 100%. I'VE OWNED NOTHING BUT HONDAS HOWEVER THIS TIME I FEEL I MADE A BAD PURCHASE BUYING A NEW 2017 CIVIC. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, ONLY GOES TO DEALERSHIP, PUMPED NOTHING BUT PREMIUM GASOLINE. I AM SAD, UPSET, ANGRY, ANXIOUS AND VERY MUCH STILL IN DISBELIEF THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR AT ONLY 80,000 MILES . WHAT CAN I DO? IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SAME ISSUE? I GOT A CODE P0299 TURBO UNDERBOOST
SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START BY ITSELF AND THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF .ANN THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.
THE HEAD UNIT/DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AT FIRST, NOTHING WOULD COME ON. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FUSE, OR IT NEEDED REBOOTED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO ACT UP. THE BACK-UP AND PASSENGER SIDE CAMERAS WON'T WORK PROPERLY, THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK AS I CAN'T CHANGE THE AIR FLOW OR TEMPERATURE, THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK OR CONNECT, AND THE AUDIO CONTROLS WON'T WORK OR ARE SEVERELY DELAYED. THIS CREATES MULTIPLE SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING: 1. THE AUDIO WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON, AND AT HIGH VOLUMES DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CONTROL THE VOLUME OR TURN IT ON OR OFF. 2. THE BACK-UP AND/OR SIDE CAMERAS WILL GET STUCK ON THE SCREEN, WHICH CREATES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. 3. THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO 'HANDS-FREE' LAWS IN MOST STATES. 4. THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK CORRECTLY AND, THEREFORE, I CANNOT USE THE FRONT DEFROST. WHEN TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM THAT IT WILL COST $4,000 TO REPLACE. $4,000 ON A 3-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WITH NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES.
THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN MY CAR AROUND 40K MILES. FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHERS I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND ITS THE AC COMPRESSOR. I KNOW 3 OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR AND ALL 3 OF THEIRS HAS WENT OUT BY 50K MILES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR!
A/C EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING AND EXPANSION VALVE O-RINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS UNDER 40,000 MILES AND ALREADY REQUIRES MAJOR REPAIR ON A/C.
LEAK IN 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK AC CONDENSER. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2019 FOR OTHER TRIM HONDA CIVIC LINES,BUT APPARENTLY NOT THE HATCHBACK. THE LEAKING CONDENSER WAS THE SAME PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THIS VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED. THE RECALL OR COVERED REPAIRS SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL TRIM LINES AND VEHICLES. HONDA ONLY COVERED 1/2 OF REPAIR COSTS. THE AC CONDENSER LEAK RESULTED IN NO AC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO WINDSHIELD FOGGING AND VISIBILTY.
I'VE ONLY HAD MY CAR A YEAR. MY CAR HAD BEEN USING OIL FOR 2 WEEKS RECENTLY. I HAD TO PUT OIL IN IT EVERY OTHER DAY. MY MECHANIC SAID IT SHOULD NOT BE USING OIL LIKE THAT. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND IT PASSED AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED WHICH I DO EVERY 3,000-5,000 MILES. MY EMISSION CONTROL PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP (NOT WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE) AND TOOK MY CAR TO THEM, BUT ON THE WAY THERE, MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD AND IT WAS SMOKING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT TOOK THEM TWO DAYS TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS THE TURBO CHARGER THAT NEEDED REPLACING ON MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!! I AM VERY UPSET AND HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A YEAR! I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY $2400 ON A CAR THAT I'M STILL PAYING ON. VERY MAD AT HONDA!
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS NOT BLOWN COLD AIR.
AC IN MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR OR TIMES COLD AIR IN SOME OF THE VENTS AND HOT IN OTHERS
6 WEEKS AGO THE AIR CONDITIONER/WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER STOPPED WORKING IN MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC THAT I PURCHASED NEW WITH A 7 YEAR/120000 MILE WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DIAGNOSED CONDENSER FAILURE BUT CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN PARTS TO PERFORM REPAIR. EVERY TIME I CALL I GET THE SAME "IN A FEW DAYS" EXCUSE.
CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. DRIVER SIDE AC BLOWING HOT AIR ALL THE TIME. INFINITE PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM DEFECTIVE FOR ALL HONDA CIVIC
THE CAR HAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE UNDER CARRIAGE COVER TO THE ENGINE SECTION. WHEN A SPEED HUMP IS ENCOUNTERED, THE UNDERCARRIAGE HITS IT AT THE SLOWEST SPEEDS. EVENTUALLY, IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS UNDER 11, 000 MILES AND IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER'S ATTENTION AND I AM TOLD THAT THE CAR IS LOW TO THE GROUND. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW SINCE EVERY SPEED BUMP HITS THE UNDERCARRIAGE COVER.
A/C FAULTY - CONDENSER LEAK - DRIVER SIDE AIR NOT WORKING STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, CONSISTENTLY DYSFUNCTIONAL
2017 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND RADIATOR FANS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONER WOULD BLOW OUT HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON REFRIGERANT. THE DEALER TESTED THE VEHICLE FOR LEAKS AND NONE WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY; THEREFORE, WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. *JS
LANE MONITORING SYSTEM PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNINGS. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE I DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAYS. IT SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING ADJUSTS THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. BRAKE MONITORING SYSTEM, WHEN IT DOES PROVIDE WARNING, PROVIDES WARNINGS SO LATE THAT A COLLISION WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION TO ALLOW FOR AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER. NO FEEDBACK FROM THE CALIBRATION MODE OF THE TPMS. ONCE THE SYSTEM PROVIDES ITS FIRST ALARM, DOESN'T RESPOND WELL TO CALIBRATION. MY SYSTEM NOW ALARMS ABOUT EVERY 60-100 MILES. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS SCARY. WHILE IT IS EXPECTED THAT IN ESPECIALLY HILLY TERRAIN THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD VARY A BIT (A COUPLE OF MPH EITHER DIRECTION), THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE, SOMETIMES TURNS ITSELF OFF WITHOUT WARNING, PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNING OF WHEN THE VEHICLE INTERVAL IS NOT MAINTAINED, BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE SET POINT. FOR EXAMPLE YESTERDAY, ACC SET AT 42 MPH. SPEED LIMIT WAS 40 MPH. I WAS DESCENDING A HILL AND MANUALLY DISENGAGED THE ACC WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED EXCEEDED 57 MPH. SAME TRIP -- ACC SET AT 67 MPH, SPEED LIMIT AT 65 MPH; ACC DISENGAGED MANUALLY WHEN VEHICLE SPEED APPROACHED 76 MPH. THIRD INSTANCE, ACC SET AT 56 MPH, SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH, ACC MANUALLY DISENGAGED AT 63 MPH. WHEN ACC FIRST ENGAGED, SPEED IS AT THE SET POINT. THEN THE SYSTEM CAN'T MAINTAIN THE SPEED AND CONSISTENTLY RUNS 1-2 MPH BELOW THE SET POINT. HENCE, ME SETTING THE ACC 1-2 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL PART OF THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM WHICH WAS PART OF THE TOURING PACKAGE, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. THE 2017 CR-V MODELS WITH THE SAME SYSTEM HAVE A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HONDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO OUR INQUIRIES.
ON JUNE 13TH, LESS THEN A MONTH AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED/SERVICED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 21ST, MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR BUSTS UP IN FLAMES. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD ON A CLEAR DAY GOING ABOUT 65, A SPARK FLEW FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY WE PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO WATCH THE CAR GO UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODE. I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THEIR SERVICE TEAM, HONDA FINANCIAL, HONDA GENERAL, AND THE HONDA PLANT IN INDIANA. EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS SHOWN NO COMPASSION OR INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS? AND MY INSURANCE IS TAKING THEIR TIME SINCE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.
I BOUGHT A 2017 HONDA CIVIC BACK IN DEC OF 2016 AND CURRENTLY, HAVE ABOUT 15,00 MILES ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START BEING STICKY, STIFF AND JERKY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE THIS SUBTLE MOVEMENTS, IT WOULD CAUSE RESISTANCE. THIS WAS NOT FREQUENT BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD SHOW UP OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO 3 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE HAD 2 ALIGNMENTS ON MY CAR BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. THE STICK/JERK PULL WOULD START AT ABOUT 30/40 MILES INTO MY DRIVE AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WOULD CAUSE ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. READING CIVIC FORMS, MANY ARE SAYING CIVIC HAS THE EPS RACK SO THAT'S CAUSING THIS JERKY PULL. *TR
CAR IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR CONDITIONING IS BLOWING HOT AIR! THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS ONLY 22832. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & THEY SAID THE CONDENSER IS DAMAGED & THE COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING DUE TO "ROAD DAMAGE". CALLED HONDA CORPORATE FOR THIS SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THEIR HONDA CIVICS 2015-2019 ABOUT A FAULTY COMPRESSOR GETTING HOLES PUNCTURED IN CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK OUT AND THEY ALSO DENIED THE PAYMENT CLAIMING A ROCK HIT MY CAR AND CAUSED THE CONDENSER TO GET DAMAGED. CLEARLY HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS FAULTY COMPRESSOR AND RECALL THE CARS OR JUST PAY FOR THE AC TO BE FIXED INSTEAD OF CHARGING CUSTOMERS $2300 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT CAN OCCUR AGAIN! THERE ARE EVEN LAWSUITS AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE! *TR
WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY / INTERSTATE. STEERING WILL MAKE A SUDDEN PULL/JERK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT CAUSING TO OVERCOMPENSATE. IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS STICKING/CATCHING. IT IS NOT AS NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER IN-TOWN DRIVING, BUT STILL HAPPENS. I RESEARCHED SYMPTOMS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED, BUT MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH THIS HAPPENING. I NOTICED THAT THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. (MAY,2020) MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING 50 MPH PLUS (+). *TR
THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO TURN ON MY AC FOR THE SUMMER 2020 SEASON ON MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC I NOTICED THAT IT WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED NOT ONLY WAS MY A/C CONDENSER LEAKING FREON BUT ALSO MY A/C COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING FREON. BOTH PARTS MUST BE REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2019 , HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE A/C CONDENSER AS THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS MANUFACTURED TO STANDARDS AND WITH THE SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE A/C CONDENSER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED. HOWEVER, THE A/C COMPRESS IS NOT UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY CAR IS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY (3 YEARS/36,000 MILES) PERIOD BY 4,000 MILES - NOT YEARS. I LIVE IN THE MID-WEST WHERE I DON'T NEED TO USE MY CAR'S A/C OFTEN SO I HAVEN'T USED MY A/C SINCE FALL 2019 WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SEARCHING ONLINE - THERE ARE VEHICLE OWNER COMPLAINTS ON THE A/C UNITS BECOMING DEFECTIVE DURING AND AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD OF 2016, 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CIVIC'S. THE IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE A/C COMPRESSOR, THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $1,200. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF CIVIC'S WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. HOW IRONIC IS IT THAT WITHIN THREE YEARS (NOT FULL THREE YEARS) MY VEHICLE'S A/C CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED FAULT ON ONE PART BUT OTHER THE SECOND. THESE PARTS DO NOT BECOME DEFECTIVE THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. *TR
THE HONDA SENSING BRAKE SYSTEM SEEMS TO MORE ANNOYING THAN HELPFUL. EVEN ADJUSTING THE DIFFERENT SENSOR LENGTHS ISN'T HELPING. OFTEN, THE CAR STARTS TO BRAKE WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED. A FEW DAYS AGO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDED TO MAKE A U-TURN AT A LEFT TURN ARROW THAT SAID NO U-TURNS. MY CAR DECIDED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE A LITTLE IN THE WAY. IT GETS WORSE: I COULD NOT OVERRIDE THE BRAKES WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PETAL TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS STUCK IN PLACE FOR LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME! I DON'T MIND IF THE SENSING SYSTEM NOTIFIES ME WITH BEEPS, BELLS, AND WHISTLES. JUST DON'T BRAKE FOR ME! *TR
A/C CONDENSER IS DEFECTIVE BUT HONDA SAYS MY VIN NOT COVERED UNDER HONDA'S 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PART. IN ADDITION, TRIED TO GET THIS PART SERVICED UNDER THREE-YEAR WARRANTY BUT HONDA SERVICE WAS CLOSED DUE TO COVID 19 AND THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO EXTEND ITS WARRANTY PERIOD AS OTHER COMPANIES HAVE DONE. *TR
I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN NOVEMBER 2017. IN AUGUST 2018 THE AC WENT OUT. (I KNOW IN AUGUST RIGHT!). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE O-RING. THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER MY CAR WARRANTY. NINE MONTHS LATER (MAY 2019) THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE A/C WENT OUT. THIS TIME THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE CONDENSER. IT IS EVEN NOTED IN THE PAPERWORK THAT THE AC IS BLOWING HOT "AGAIN". THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. 13 MONTHS LATER (JUNE 2020) WHILE SERVICING AN OIL CHANGE, THE HONDA SERVICE FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE COMPRESSOR. THIS TIME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY, HOWEVER THROUGH HONDA CARE I WAS CHARGED A DEDUCTIBLE ($100.00). *TR
A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT. CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT WAS A BIT COOLER. COOLER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE AT LEAST. I KIND OF IGNORED IT FOR A FEW DAYS SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN SO HOT BUT TODAY I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WARMER AIR COMPARED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STILL NOT VERY COLD. THEN I REALIZED SOME FOG LIKE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE MIDDLE VENTS AFTER LIKE 2 MINUTES OF IT BEING ON. I FELT LIGHT HEADED AND KIND OF OUT OF BREATH SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF AND PULLED OVER TO CATCH MY BREATH. *TR
THE A/C STOPPED WORKING ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THE CAR'S A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE VENTS EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING WAS SET TO LOWEST TEMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THROW UP FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE I'M DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR
AIR CONDITIONING IS BLOWING HOT AIR, POSSIBLY DUE TO REFRIGERANT LEAK. FINDING MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM NEW HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. *TR
THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN 2018. IT IS NOW BEING REPORTED ON CARFAX AS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO A $74 BRACKET THAT WAS REPLACED ON THE BACK. THE CAR IS NOW UNDERVALUED DUE TO THIS. THE CAR WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN AND COLLIDED WITH THE BACK LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT WAS AT A STAND STILL. *TR
I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM VERY CERIUM IN MY HONDA CIVIC 2017, IT IS ABOUT ACCELERATION, IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE GOING ON THE FREEWAY THROUGH THE CARPOOL AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVER IN FRONT STOPS IF YOU TRY TO BRAKE BUT ONCE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REACH TO BRAKE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT BUT YOUR CAR AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATING DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND YOU AS YOU RELEASED THE BREAKERS YOU STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FOR 5 SECONDS WITH CARS GOING AT 70 MPH WELL THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY MANY ALMOST ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY, LUCKILY NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS ALTHOUGH BOTH OF US HAVE FELT THAT LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN YOU NEED IT AND THE WORST THING IS THAT THE MECHANICS AND AGENTS OF THE DEALER MAKE FUN OF ONE TELLING ME THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OR THAT MY MAT WAS POORLY ACCOMMODATED OR THAT THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE FELT THE FAULT BUT THE LAST ONE ON THE PAPER SAYS THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND JUST DO AN "UPDATE" WHEN MY LIFE AND MY WIFE'S LIFE HAVE BEEN AT RISK MORE THAN 1 TIME, I BRING MY CAR 10 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND I ALWAYS RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER AND THIS LAST TIME MY WIFE BRING THE CAR AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS WAS TO DO GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON ALL FLUIDS WITH COSTS ABOVE $ 800 BECAUSE THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THAT EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, FOR MY PART I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND AFTER REVIEWING IT HE TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS NONSENSE, ALL THE FLUIDS WERE CLEAN. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO RECOMMEND FLUID CHANGE OR MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN THINGS WITHOUT NO REASON AND EFFECTIVELY THE PAPER THAN THE DEALER GAVE ME HAS NO REASON WHY THEY WANTED TO SELL ALL THAT TO MY WIFE. *TR
THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THREE YEARS. SUDDENLY AN ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING "ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM". THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WENT AWAY AFTER I FIDDLED WITH ELECTRICAL PARKING AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY. THE THIRD TIME, COULDN'T START THE CAR AS THE BRAKE PAD DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. *TR
MY VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY $206 TO FLUSH THE AC AND REPLACE THE FREON WITH DYE. APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS LATER THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. WENT BACK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE LEAK THEY STATE IS DUE TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR LEAKING. HONDA PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CONDENSER BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE IT IS THE COMPRESSOR, NOT THE CONDENSER. IT APPEARS HONDA HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ALL COMPONENTS OF THE A/C OF THESE CARS. THEY WON'T COVER THIS AS I ONLY HAVE 46K MILES ON VEHICLE AND WANT TO CHARGE $2,049.00 TO REPLACE. IN MY OPINION, THE A/C SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND ALL PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR
2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT, AC CONDENSER UNIT WENT BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA'S HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY MODEL/TRIM IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION EVEN THOUGH THE CONDENSER IS OBVIOUSLY BAD.
THERE IS ALREADY A TSB FOR MY ISSUE. REFERENCING TSB 19-091 IT STATES THAT ALL CIVICS OF ALL TYPES OF TRIM FOR THE YEARS 2016-2018 ARE APPLICABLE FOR A RECALL. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE HATCHBACK MODELS? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR SOMETHING FAILING THAT SHOULD BE WORKING OUT OF THE FACTORY AND KEEP WORKING. 50K MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

CAR WOULD EITHER START ENGINE ON ITS OWN OR TURN ON STANDBY/ACCESSORY MODE ON ITS OWN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT, THIS AFTER IT RUINED THE PREVIOUS BATTERY BY CONSTANTLY DRAWING POWER BY THE CAR STARTING ITSELF. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE.
PAINT FROM FACTORY IS PEELING OFF . MY CAR ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT . I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND AS A SPRAYED OFF MY CAR WITH A LIGHT FLOW OF WATER I SAW PAIN CHIPS FLOWING DOWN THE STREET. ALL OF MY WHEELS ARE STARTING TO PEEL AWAY SLOWLY. I RARELY DRIVE SO THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME.
CONTINENTAL TIRES HAVE UNUSUALLY WEAK AND RISKY SIDEWALLS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS THAT HAVE THEM ON THERE.
I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC TOURING SPORT IN A PARKING GARAGE (2/27/2020) WHEN THE CAR WAS IN 'DRIVE', NOT 'PARK.' WHILE STORING ITEMS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC (12 FEET?) AND HIT ANOTHER CAR CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE. MY CAR DID THIS SO SILENTLY THAT THE ONLY ALERT I RECEIVED WAS THE CRASH ITSELF; THE CAR'S COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. MY 14 MONTH OLD BABY WAS SITTING IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. HAD OTHER DRIVERS NOT BEEN CAREFUL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THESE CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO INTO PARK WHEN THEY'RE TURNED OFF. IN CLOSING, I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH, AND SEVERAL OTHER 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAVE FILLED 'ROLLAWAY CAR' COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ONE: HTTPS://TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/CONSUMER-PRODUCTS/AUTO-NEWS/868008-HONDA-CIVIC-ROLLAWAY-PROBLEM-PURPORTEDLY-ROLLED-FORWARD-TO-2017-AND-2018-CARS/ HTTPS://WWW.CLASSACTION.ORG/HONDA-ROLL-AWAY-LAWSUITS THIS VEHICLE SEEMS AS UNSAFE AS A 737 MAX!
TURNED CAR ON TO HEAD TO WORK, AND ALL ERROR CODES APPEARED ON DASH ONE BY ONE AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. ALL YELLOW LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH EVERY PROBLEM. HAD NO ISSUE TURNING ON, STAYING IN MOTION, SITTING IDLE FOR 2 HOURS, OR BRAKING, YET EVERY ISSUE WAS STILL ON DISPLAY AFTER MULTIPLE STARTUPS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT I'M STILL BRINGING IT IN 2/19/2020 TO GET IT LOOKED AT.
AFTER PARKING IN MY DRIVEWAY, PLACING THE PARKING BRAKE ON, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND EXISTING THE VEHICLE, MY PARKING BRAKE GAVE OUT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. MY CAR ROLLED DOWN MY SHORT DRIVEWAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS CLOSE BY, HOPPED IN THE MOVING CAR AS IT REACHED MY STREET AND MANUALLY PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE. AS I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PARKING BRAKE SIGNAL SHOWED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS STILL ENGAGED. IT APPEARS THE PARKING BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD NOT (AND CANNOT) RELEASE. EVER. IF I WERE PARKED ON A PUBLIC STREET, I COULD HAVE HARMED ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN.
DRIVING ALONG HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE CAR BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT RUSH HOUR, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A PILE-UP. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN FRONT OF A SEMI, I MIGHT BE DEAD. I MOVED ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CAR REGAINED THROTTLE RESPONSE AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS.
2017 HONDA CIVIC AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING. THE CONDENSER IS LEAKING, WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS BEING COVERED BY HONDA, HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COMPRESSOR EVEN THOUGH THE LEAK IN THE CONDENSER CAN EASILY LEAD TO A FAILURE OF THE COMPRESSOR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE STARTED WHEN THE ALARM WAS ACTIVATED AND THE KEY FOB FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED REMOTE KEY SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO (HONDA OF MENTOR LOCATED AT 8555 MARKET ST, MENTOR, OH 44060, (440) 290-6017) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL PUT THE BRAKES ON IF ANOTHER CARE PASSES ME ON DRIVERS SIDE. THIS DID IT FOR A FEW WEEKS, THEN THE COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT CLEAR. CRUISE WILL NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT NEVER WITH LIGHT STAYING ON.
VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD AND WE ARE DEALING WITH A PERSISTENT, NON-FUNCTIONING AC SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE HONDA CIVICS. HONDA CORPORATE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, LEAVING THE CONSUMER WITH A $2500 REPAIR BILL, THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A LONG TERM FIX, ON A NEW CAR. WE LIVE IN FL AND NOT HAVING TEMPERATURE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS.
THE BACK WIPER REMAINED IN FAST SPEED UNTIL SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE. TWICE. SECOND TIME LENGTH OF APPROX 5 MINUTES. THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. 12/09/19 2ND. RADIO HAS BEEN CHANGING STATIONS ON IT'S OWN. AND THE THE PHONE HAS BEEN ASKING ME TO SET UP WITH BLUE TOOTH WHEN I AM DRIVING. I HAVE SHUT OFF THE RADIO AND IT SEEMS TO RE-SET ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT MONTH. 11/09/19
THE AC VENTS STARTED TO MAKE CLICKING NOISES AS SOMETHING WAS INSIDE OF THE VENT. THEN, THE AC UNIT WOULD BLOW HOT AIR ON ONE SIDE OF THE CABIN AND MODERATELY COLD ON THE OTHER. TWO DAYS LATER THE VENTS WOULD BLOW HOT AIR ON THE HOTTEST SETTING. AFTER GETTING THE UNIT AND CAR CHECKED OUT, THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS CRACKED. THE CAR IS WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HASN'T BEEN THROUGH ANY ACCIDENTS SO FOR IT TO CRACK IS VERY STRANGE. LOOKING UP FORMS, MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MULTIPLE VEHICLES ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN AROUND 37-42,000 MILES. AFTER BRINING THIS UP TO HONDA CORPORATE, THEY STATED THE CONDENSER WILL HAVE A RECALL, BUT THE COMPRESSOR IS OKAY WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE USING OUTSIDE SERVICES TO FIX THEIR VEHICLES AND HONDA WILL NOT RECALL THE PART. THEY PRODUCED A BAD BATCH OF PARTS THAT WERE PLACED ON THEIR CARS AND NOW WANT THE OWNERS TO PAY FOR IT INSTEAD OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE.
I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHEN I PLUG IN MY PHONE INTO THE JACK IN THE CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY WITNESSED MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY REMOVE MY PHONE AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S PHONE IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE PHONE ALSO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE MY BLUETOOTH ON MY I PHONE AND IT WILL NOT PAIR WITH MY VEHICLE AS WELL NUMEROUS TIMES. THE TECH AT HONDA STATED TO ME IT IS AS IF SOMEONE ELSE IS CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE THROUGH YOUR RADIO FREQUENCY. MY CAR HAS BEEN UNLOCKED AT TIMES. ETC. I ASKED HOW THIS CAN OCCUR AND HE STATED IF SOMEONE HAS YOUR RADIO ID OR YOUR KEY FOB NUMBERS. THIS IS STILL OCCURRING EVEN THOUGH HONDA RE SET THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND SETTINGS TO FACTORY DEFAULT. NOW MY TRUNK WILL NOT STAY CLOSED IF SOMETHING IS IN THE TRUNK. HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES IN MOTION, STAYING STILL.
WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AND EVEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS OF 25-45 MPH THE CAR WILL SWAY LEFT TO RIGHT AND I WILL OVERCOMPENSATE TO CORRECT THE SWAY. IT WILL START TO PULL RIGHT WHEN I SLOWLY TRY TO CORRECT IT BY SHIFTING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. AS A RESULT IT WILL JERK SHARPLY CAUSING A LOOP OF CORRECTIONS LEAVING MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS FEELING UNSAFE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MONTHS. IVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE WHEEL NUMEROUS TIMES TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ERGONOMICAL ISSUE BUT TO NO AVAIL.
THE CAR BRAKE STOP WORKING WHEN THE WARNING SIGN CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY UPON GETTING OFF THE HIGH ON A RAMP THE BRAKES FROZE I WASNT ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES FOR ABOUT 40 SECONDS BECAUSE IT BECAME STIFF . THAT'S WHEN THE WARNING SIGN CAME ON . THIS WASNT MY FIRST REPORT ON THIS PROBLEM
CHECKING FOR DEFECTS
OIL LEAK ON 1.5L ENGINE VALVE COVER
017 HONDA CIVIC A/C CONDENSER FAILED FROM FACTORY. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED 1-2 MONTH CUSTOMERS ONLY OPTION IS TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET.
THE CAR ALARM BLARES RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY AND THE CAR LOCKS ITSELF UNABLE TO USE THE KEY FOB TO TURN OFF THE ALARM AND UNLOCK THE DOOR REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB SEEMED LIKE A FIX FOR A WEEK NOW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS 'KEYLESS START PROBLEM' AND WON'T GO AWAY AND THE CAR JUST TURNS ITSELF TO 'ON' BY ITSELF AND/OR THE ALARM GOES OFF ALSO YOU HAVE TO PUT THE ACTUAL KEY IN THE DRIVER DOOR TO TURN THE ALARM OFF AND UNLOCK THE CAR THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONERY AFTER IT'S BEEN DRIVEN AND TURNED OFF FOR AN HOUR OR MORE
I WAS INVOLVED IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY INVOLVING MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC. TRAFFIC WAS AT A SLOW/STOP ON THE FREEWAY AND A TAHOE COLLIDED INTO MY VEHICLE. I WAS SANDWICHED IN-BETWEEN A NISSAN TITAN AND CHEVY TAHOE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK. DESPITE THIS MAJOR IMPACT, NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEFLATED.
THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT SPEEDS OVER 45MPH AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.
2017 HONDA CIVIC A/C CONDENSER FAILED FROM FACTORY. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE AN ETA FOR NEW PARTS. HONDA ALSO REFUSES TO PROVIDE LOANER CARS FOR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS. CUSTOMERS ONLY OPTION IS TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET AND ATTEMPT TO GET A REIMBURSEMENT FROM HONDA.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE POWER WINDOW (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE) AND SUNROOF ARE OPEN THAT THEY CAN NOT BE CLOSED. THE FIX IS TO STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT AND THEN RAISE THE WINDOW WITH THE SWITCH ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THAT SEEMS TO RESET IT. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF A PROBLEM OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND THEREFOR DO NOTHING. WHEN YOU ASK HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE ARE COUNTLESS ENTRIES ON VARIOUS AUTO BLOGS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES, AND THE SOLUTION I MENTIONED ABOVE SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX. HONDA DOES NOTHING TO TRY TO REPAIR THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.
I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON JULY 6 BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A/C IN THIS HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE CONDENSER HAD FAILED AND THAT MANY 2016 AND 2017 HONDA HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THE PART. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE OVER 3000 CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY, 7/19, THEIR BEST ESTIMATE IS THAT THEY MAY HAVE THE PART ON 7/25. NO GUARANTEE. MY CAR WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS AT THE LEAST. MORE IMPORTANTLY, MANY OF THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN IN THIS HEAT ,WITHOUT A/C, WHICH IS DEFINITELY AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
CAR TRUNK OPENS WHILE DRIVING (MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES TO DATE); WINDOWS DESCEND WHILE LOCKING CAR FROM OUTSIDE; GAS CAP COVER UNLATCHES WHILE LOCKING CAR. CAR DOORS HAVE ALSO UNLOCKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND THIEVES RANSACKED CAR ON 2 OCCASIONS. I RAISED ISSUES TO DEALER (WHO SAID THEY WERE IMPOSSIBLE) AND WROTE MANUFACTURER APRIL 22; HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. RUST ON TIRE RIMS. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECURRING SINCE FIVE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR TO THE PRESENT DAY.
WOKE UP AT 4:30 AM ON THIS DAY JULY 18,2019 SAW THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE (IT STARTED UNDER THE HOOD). IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY
"EPS FAULT" FAULT IN THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. STEERING IS AFFECTED WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT. CAR NOT RUNNING RIGHT. IN MOTION
TRAVELLING TO WORK IN A HIGHWAY OF SPEED AROUND 75MPH ALL OF SUDDEN HEARD A HUGE SOUND. GOT SCARED AND PULLED OVER, TO MY SHOCKING THE CAR MOONROOF WAS SHATTERED
I DO OIL CHANGE BY MYSELF. HERE I AM REPORTING FUEL DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL ISSUE ON MY CAR. THE SECOND LAST TIME OF MY CAR'S OIL CHANGE WAS ON MARCH 16 2019. I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL STRICTLY TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AS WELL AS THE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT. I ADDED 3.7 QT OF NEW MOTOR OIL (MOBIL 1 ADVANCED FUEL ECONOMY FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20), WHICH IS THE VOLUME SPECIFIED ON THE MANUAL BOOK. LAST WEEKEND ON JULY 7 2019 I DID OIL CHANGE AGAIN, STILL FOLLOWING THE MANUAL BOOK STRICTLY. WHAT MADE ME CONCERNED WAS THAT THE VOLUME OF THAT USED MOTOR OIL WAS CLEARLY GREATER THAN WHAT I ADDED ON MARCH 16. THE MOTOR OIL I PURCHASED CAME WITH SEALED BOTTLES, EACH CONTAINING 1 QT VOLUME. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE USED OIL FULFILLED 4 BOTTLES, WHICH WAS 10% MORE THAN WHAT I ADDED 3 MONTHS BEFORE. THIS WAS THE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WENT INTO THE MOTOR OIL, WHICH I BELIEVED WAS GASOLINE, BECAUSE THE USED OIL HAD A GASOLINE SMELL. DURING THIS PERIOD, I ONLY CHOSE TOP TIER GASOLINE BRANDS AND ADDED REGULAR #87 WHICH WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA, THEREFORE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE I ADDED WAS NO PROBLEM; I DIDN'T SEE LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT, BRAKE FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID DURING THIS TIME.
I BROUGHT MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN FEB/2019. MY AC HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR UNTIL IT GOT REALLY HOT WHERE I LIVE THIS MONTH. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS DAMAGED BECAUSE ROCKS FROM THE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN HITTING AGAINST IT. I EXPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THE AC WAS WORKING FROM THE BEGINNING AND THAT THE CAR IS SO LOW TO THE GROUND THAT IT IS TO EXPECTED FOR ROCKS TO HIT UNDER THE CAR. THEY THEN TELL ME THAT IT WILL COST 1200 FOR ME TO GET IT FIXED. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND FAST BECAUSE IT IS VERY HOT.
THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AT 2 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, BUT AS I AM AT 41,000 MILES, IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I NOTICED IT WHEN DRIVING ON SATURDAY, 6/29/19 THAT THE A/C WAS NO LONGER BLOWING COLD AIR; THIS WAS ON A DAY WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 99 IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE THERE ARE BAD SEALS ON THE COMPRESSOR. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $2,100 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR AND ADD FREON TO IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY HONDA OWNERS (2016-2017) COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE AND AM WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO FORCE HONDA TO PAY FOR THESE BAD COMPRESSORS?
HONDA CIVIC 2017 MODEL USES NEW COMPRESSOR TO GO WITH NEW REFRIGERANT AND SEEMS TO STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY REASON. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR TO STOP THE COMPRESSOR FROM WORKING, USUAL MAINTENANCE IS KEPT UP WITH THE CAR. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPRESSOR FOR NO REASON.
THERE IS A ROTTEN SMELL IN THE REAR TRUNK EVERY TIME WHEN/AFTER IT RAINS. FROM MY OBSERVATIONS, THE ODOR IS COMING FROM THE SPARE TIRE WELL, NOT THE TRUNK LINER. THE ODOR CAN BE REMOVED BY SPRAYING ODOR REMOVER AND HAVE IT VENTILATED. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME WHEN IT RAINS, THIS ODOR COMES BACK AGAIN. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS REPEATED ISSUE INDICATES WATER CLOGGED SOMEWHERE BENEATH THE SPARE TIME WELL.
PURCHASED 2017 HONDA CIVIC NEW FROM DEALERSHIP WITH STANDARD NEW CAR WARRANTY. AT 41,000 MILES AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. BROUGH VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NEW COMPRESSOR WAS NEEDED AND REPAIR WOULD COST $986 + TAX. BOUGHT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING INTERNET FOR INFORMATION I CAME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS TRUE AND WONDERED HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WERE FACED WITH THE SAME TYPE REPAIR COSTING OVER $1,000? FILING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT WORD GETS OUT AND SOMEONE CAN FINALLY HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING A PRODUCT WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE COMPONENT
MY OILS IS BEING DILUTED BY FUEL STRONG ODER OF GAS FROM OIL. SHOWS THAT IT IS OVER FILLED . WHEN IT IS COLD OUT SIDE MY ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS STUTTERING AND IT STARTS TO CLICK UNDER ACCELERATION. MY CAR HAS ALREADY HAD FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MISFIRING ISSUES AND MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY 50 MPH ROADS AND HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. EVERY HONDA DEALER I'VE BROUGHT IT TO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT ADMIT THAT MY OIL IS DILUTED. BUT I HEARD THEM SAYING HOW BAD THE OIL SMELL OF GAS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE FIVE TIMES, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING FIVE "ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM", "VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM", AND "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM" MESSAGES THAT APPEARED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE FREEWAY THE STEERING STICKS WHILE MAKING SMALL CORRECTIONS TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT IN THE LANE. ITS A CATCHY FEELING CAUSING ME TO OVERCOMPENSATE AFTER IT CATCHES/STICKS. ALSO WHEN SITTING STILL WAITING FOR A STOP LIGHT THE STEERING SEEMS TO JUMP A NOTCH BY ITSELF.
THE ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING IS THE BRAKE ASSIST PROGRAM IS BREAKING WHEN THERE IS NO OBJECT AROUND CAUSING MY CAR TO BREAK FOR NO REASON THIS CAUSE QUICK USE OF THE BREAK ONE DAY ITS GONNA CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR END ME I TOOK THIS TO HONDA THEY CANT FIND THE ISSUE THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 4 TIMES TO AND FROM WORK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL MY LANE DEPARTURE ASSIST HASNT WORK SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR TO MANY ISSUES TOOK CAR TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS ALL THE DEALERS SAID THEY RESET THE SYSTEM NO ISSUES FOUND HONDA DOESNT CARE ABOUT SAFETY AT ALL. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN IN MOTION BOTH ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING.
I WENT TO GO START MY VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AT 4 AM, 5/9/2019. UPON TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE. MY CAR'S LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, WITH A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE BEING MADE. ON THE DASHBOARD, THE SYSTEM STARTED STATING "ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM". "MANUAL BRAKE PROBLEM", "STABILITY PROBLEM", AND A COUPLE OTHER ERRORS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND UPON DOING RESEARCH, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON, AND I HAVE NEVER USED THAT FEATURE. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY WORK'S FULL PARKING LOT, AND I AM STRANDED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. OCCASIONALLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) INDICATED A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING; HOWEVER, THE TIRE WAS CORRECTLY INFLATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS FLAT, BUT THE WARNING INDICATOR NEVER ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO O'BRIEN HONDA OF BLOOMINGTON (1602 GENERAL ELECTRIC RD, BLOOMINGTON, IL 61704, (309) 663-9591) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE TREAD DEPTH WAS DIFFERENT ON BOTH TIRES, WHICH CAUSED THE TPMS TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO MANUALLY TURN OFF THE FEATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09501888. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,400.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SUN ROOF MADE SOME POPPING SOUNDS AND THE GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF STEVENS CREEK (800-692-2129, LOCATED AT 4590 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE SUN ROOF WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.
WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 50 WHEN IT'S OVER 80 DEGREES. THE STEERING ACTS UP! WHEN TRY TO ADJUST A LITTLE BIT IT RESIST AND THEN LET'S GO SLIGHTLY. IT MAKES YOU OVER STEER A BIT. IT'S NOT A COMFORTING THING WHEN IT KEEPS DOING THAT! I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO GET A RECALL FOR STEERING ASSIST. THE MAGNET HAS COME LOOSE AND OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM!
THE STEERING STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY WITHIN THE LANES. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT GO BACK TO CENTER.
NUMEROUS NHTSA REPORTS HAVE BEEN TO WASTE AS NOTHING IS DONE. THIS 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL GLITCHES SINCE BOUGHT NEW IN DEC. 2017. NO PROBLEM (S) FOUND. NO CODES. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. ETC. ETC. HONDA REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE & SERVICING HONDA DEALERS DO NOT WANT THIS PIECE OF CRAP HONDA IN THEIR SHOPS. HONDA CLAIMS THEY HAVE LEGAL RIGHT TO CANCEL ALL NEW VEHICLE WARRANTIES ON THIS VEHICLE & OWNER CANNOT DO ANYTHING LEGALLY ABOUT THIS. NO US FEDERAL AGENCY HAS ANY CONTROL WHAT HONDA DOES IN THE US. HONDA HAS BECOME ARROGANT & ABUSIVE TOWARDS HONDA CUSTOMERS & DOES NOT CARE.
10TH GENERATION 2017 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN: FIRST REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALER IN MAY 2018, THE TRUNK MYSTERIOUSLY OPENS WITHOUT ANY OWNER INTERACTION. HAVE GONE INSIDE OUR HOME ONLY TO COME OUT IN THE MORNING TO FIND THE TRUNK OPEN. JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST WEEK OF MARCH 2019, THE HONDA DEALER HAD THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN ON SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2019, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM AS SOME OWNERS MAY THINK THEY ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN UP IN THE HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FORUM ON CIVICX.COM.
WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE ENTERING A TUNNEL WITH NO CARS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF IT, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM(PART OF HONDA SENSING SUITE OF SAFETY FEATURES) ACTIVATED AND SIGNIFICANTLY BRAKED THE CAR, NEARLY TO A STOP, WITH CARS AT HIGHWAY SPEED BEHIND ME. THERE WERE PAVEMENT MARKINGS THAT APPEARED TO BE GROUND OFF AS A RESULT OF RECENT CONSTRUCTION THAT PERHAPS THE CAR'S SENSING SYSTEM MISTOOK FOR AN OBJECT THAT IT THOUGHT IT COULD HIT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE CAR'S PATH. NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS OPERATED ODDLY, BUT IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT HAS MISTOOK SHADOWS AND SUN GLARE AS BEING OBJECTS AND WARNED ME TO BRAKE (ALBEIT MOMENTARILY) BUT THE CAR DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY BRAKING IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BY DESIGN WHEN SOMEONE WHO DOES MEET WEIGHT CRITERIA IS SEATED. THIS IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC 5-DOOR PURCHASED NEW IN DEC. 2016 & HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALERS THE SENSOR IS DESIGNED TO DEACTIVATE PASSENGER AIR BAG IF WEIGHT THRESHOLD NOT MET. MY WIFE IS 5 FT. 5 IN. & APPROX. 125 POUNDS, & WHENEVER SHE IS SEATED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS OFF. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALER THE 4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS ARE : 1. MOVE FRONT SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK ( NO AIR BAG FUNCTION ). 2. HAVE HER SIT IN BACK SEAT. 3. NOT HAVE HER IN CAR AT ALL. 4. GET ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAS FUNCTIONING PASSENGER AIR BAG. THESE ARE OFFICIAL REPAIR SOLUTIONS PER HONDA TECH SUPPORT & HONDA SERVICING DEALER.
I BOUGHT MY 2017 CIVIC BRAND NEW IN MAY 2017. EVER SINCE I HAD THIS CAR THE ELECTRONICS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. VOLUME DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE DIGITAL RADIO. I'LL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO USE THE VOLUME. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF WHILE IN PARK. I HAD TO SIT OVER 5 MINUTES IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OFF WITH PUSHING THE START BUTTON OVER AND OVER. THE RADIO GOES STATICKY EVERY TIME I USE THE DEFROST BUTTON. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR NOW MAKES A BEEPING NOISE HERE AND THERE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE DASH/RADIO. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN DRIVE OR PARK. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO HONDA THEY COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING SINCE THE CODES DIDN'T PULL UP WHEN THEY PLUGGED THEIR COMPUTER INTO MY CAR. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE NOISES THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING (BEEPING). SO YES I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND IN 2 MONTHS I WILL HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS.
ENGINE OIL DILUTION. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE L15 ENGINES AND GAS FLOWING DOWN PAST THE PISTONS INTO THE CRANKCASE. THESE ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA AND ONLY "AFFECTED" STATES IN THE US AND CANADA. I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THESE "AFFECTED" STATES BUT MY ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE THE MAXIMUM LEVEL AND SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS.
I HAD THE WIPERS ON AND IT WAS RAINING. THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING BEFORE THEY REACHED THE DOWN POSITION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THEY WOULD NOT WORK AFTER THAT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET GOING FORWARD.
VIBRATION IN ENGINE
CAR TURNED OFF DOESN'T CRACK UP AND SAYS THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS INCLUDING BREAK SYSTEM.
WHEN I STARTED DRIVING IT STARTED TO HESITATE AND THEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND THEN WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR I TURNED THEM ON THEY WENT UP AND NEVER WENT DOWN. NOW THEY DON'T EVEN WORK AT ALL THEY'RE STUCK IN THE POSITION THAT I SHOWED YOU THE PHOTO I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS DRIVING I HAVE 0 VISIBILITY ITS SNOWING HERE IN OREGON
I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-30 MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PUT IT IN SPORT MODE AND TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR GOES TO LIMP MODE. THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF FROM THE ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. CLEARED ALL ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY AND NO CEL WAS STORED.
FUEL (GASOLINE) IS SEEPING INTO THE MOTOR OIL CAUSING A OVERFILL MARK ON OIL DIPSTICK AND STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. OIL VISCOSITY SEEMS TO BE "THINNER" AFTER 2000 + MILES OF DRIVING.
UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THE TECH THAT WENT INTO THE MOTOR OF THE 2017 SI. I FOUND THAT THE SAME MOTOR WAS IN THE 2017 CRV AND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON IT FOR A FULE PROBLEM. I DID NOT FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE HOWEVER I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN CHANGEING OIL THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. I'M AFRAID OF THERE BEING DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR DUE TO LOSS OF LUBRICATION. (THE DATE I'LL PUT FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED WILL BE THE LAST DATE OF AN OIL CHANGE.)
THE VEHICLE, AFTER BEING DRIVEN THE DAY PRIOR WITHOUT ISSUES OR ANY ENGINE LIGHTS, WILL NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. THE ONLY ENGINE LIGHT THAT IS ON IS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT. WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR, THE BATTERY DOESN'T EVEN CLICK. I EVEN JUMPED THE BATTERY TO REINFORCE THE IDEA THAT THIS IS LIKELY NOT RELATED TO THE BATTERY - STILL NO CLICKING. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECENT RECALL ON 2017 HONDA CIVICS FOR THE SAME ISSUE - THE EPS SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC, AND WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY VEHICLE, THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER RECALLED HONDA CIVICS, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY SPECIFIC CIVIC WAS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR THIS MATTER. FOR A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, WITH NO ACCIDENTS, SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS AN EPS FAILURE SHOULD BE HANDLED MORE SERIOUSLY. THIS KIND OF FAILURE, IF OCCURRING DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, COULD RESULT IN MAJOR AUTO ACCIDENTS.
NEW CIVIC SEDAN JUST TURNED OVER 1 YEAR OLD AND IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED WEIRD AT TIMES, ALMOST CAUSING ME A FEW ACCIDENTS (MAINLY AT ACCELERATION). STOPPED BY DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF COVINGTON) SOMETIME IN THE FALL AND SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT LOTS OF CIVIC OWNERS STOP BY AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, BUT THIS IS JUST "HOW THEY ARE" AND THEY WILL GET BETTER AS THEY BUILD MORE OF THEM. I DIDN'T BUY A CHRYSLER OR EDSEL AND EXPECTED MY OVER 20K SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE TO BE BETTER THAN THAT. SOMETIMES IT ENGAGES ROUGHLY WHEN WE SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND SOMETIMES IT LAGS A WHILE THEN JUMPS INTO GEAR. WE NOW HAVE AROUND 8K MILES ON THIS 4 DOOR SEDAN
IJULY 2017 IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY RE-SETTING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT LEGAL SPEED OF 70 MILES AN HOUR! ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED WITH EVERY COLORED WARNING LIGHT & A SPINNING-DOTED CIRCLE LIGHT AS IF CAR COMPUTER WAS SEARCHING FOR A SIGNAL OR BEING REMOTELY RESET! THE RADIO TURNED OFF, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK, THE COMPUTER DASHBOARD FLASHED UNTIL FINALLY THE 'H' HONDA LOGO APPEARED ON THE RADIO SCREEN RESETTING ITSELF. SCARING ME TO BELIEVE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN OR ABOUT TO MALFUNCTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THREE MONTHS LATER THE RADIO, SATELLITE, SIDE MIRROR CAMERA, REAR BACKUP CAMERA EVERY THING ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPUTER BRAIN OF THIS CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT! NOTHING CAN BE RESET THROUGH THE RADIO AS IT'S JUST STUCK. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS NO EXPLANATION OTHER REPLACEMENT FOR SAFETY! DEALERSHIP REACHED OUT TO HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE AS I'VE EXCEEDED 36,000 MILE COMPLEMENTARY WARRANTY. HONDA ACTUALLY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MALFUNCTION AT FIRST, STATING THEY WOULD PAY/COVER MAJORITY OF COST LEAVING BALACE OF $300. I FOUND THIS TO BE CRAZY, AS THIS ELECTICAL MALFUNCTION WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN & SHOULD INITIATE RECALL! AS I NOW HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ALL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ARE ERROR OR ACTUAL SAFETY WARNINGS! I HAVE NO REAR CAMERA OR SIDE MIRROR CAMERA DUE TO THIS RADIO/COMPUTER MALFUNCTION! THIS IS A DANGER DRIVING THIS CAR SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND EXPLAINED I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE $300 FOR REPLACEMENT. ONLY TO BE TOLD THEIR OFFER TO PAY/COVER MALFUNCTION ERRORS WAS NO LONGER ON THE TABLE, GIVING NO REASON WHY OFFER WAS REVOKED! THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER AND HER MANAGER THEN VERY RUDELY & DISRESPECTFULLY HUNG UP THE PHONE! I FEEL UNSAFE EVERYTIME BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR! PLEASE AID IN ESTABLISHING A RECALL
SUN VISORS (WHEN STARTING FROM THE DOOR/WINDOW) SWING WHEN MAKING A TURN. THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MORE DETAILS: BOTH SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY FIXED WHEN TURNED TO BE NEXT TO THE DOOR WINDOW. EXAMPLE, WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS THE VISOR NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND MAKES A LEFT TURN THE VISOR HITS DRIVER IN THE HEAD. IT'S MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE VISOR IS EXTENDED.

TAKATA RECALL SAFETY COMPONENTS RELATED TO DRIVER SAFETY WHICH IN RELATION RELATES TO DRIVER ASSISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING CARS IN FRONT SENSORS DO NOT PICK UP AND DON'T AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE LANE SHIFTING DOES NOT WORK.
THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL RANDOMLY AND TAKE UP TO A FEW HOURS TO RESTART. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN THE CENTER STACK HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BUTTONS BEING PUSHED BY THEMSELVES. LASTLY, EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE SIGN ON DASHBOARD BUT BRAKE WAS WORKING FINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO REGISTER AN OCCUPANT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. GUNN HONDA (14610 I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78249) WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, DISCONNECTED THE SENSOR CABLE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND RECONNECTED IT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500. *TT*JB
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE A/C FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK. TWO DAY AGO MY A/C STOP WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING 41K MILES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY (DEALERSHIP) DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES. THE REPAIR COST WAS $1,500. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL BUYER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE A/C TRIGGERED SOMETHING IN MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT LET IT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THE A/C IS ENTITLED.
VEHICLE HESITATING, FAILING TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN 25 MPH. VEHICLE HAS LOST DRIVEN GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND ABRUPTLY RETURNED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, VEHICLE EXHIBITING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. TRANSMISSION RELATED GRINDING NOISE ON WARM-START, ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD START. COLLISION MITIGATING BRAKING SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER. ENGINE CURRENTLY LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL FROM AROUND THE HEAD AND ONTO SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESSES, A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF FIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG ISLAND HONDA HILO (75-5608 KUAKINI HWY, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96720, 1-(808) 961-5505) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *BF *JB
PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED WHEN MY WIFE OR I SIT IN THE SEAT. PER HONDA DEALER NEITHER ONE OF US MEET SENSOR CRITERIA TO ACTIVATE AIR BAG. AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT ASSIST NOR RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. THE SERVICING DEALER RECOMMENDS HAVING WIFE MOVE SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK OR SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS ISSUE IS CONSIDERED NORMAL & WITHIN DESIGN CRITERIA. PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NEVER DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WHENEVER SOMEONE SITS & WEIGHT DOES NOT ACTIVATE AIRBAG.
VEHICULE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH ALL WARNING LIGHTS POP UP, VEHICULE LOSS POWER UNTIL STALL. EVENT OCCURS 3 OCCATIONS IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH.
SINCE WE GOT THE CAR, DECEMBER 2017, THE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE GOT IT AND TWICE IN OCTOBER, WHILE MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TWO DEALERS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND HONDA SAYS IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WON'T START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I CAN NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG FAIL IF WE WERE TO GET IN A COLLISION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SUN ROOF OPENED AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN SPONTANEOUSLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.
OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE
FUEL IS MIXING WITH OIL. OIL DIPSTICK READS HIGHER WHEN CHECKED. ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS SLUGGISH. WHEN CHECKING OIL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. AS A RESULT, OIL IS SIGNIFICANTLY THINNER WHEN CHECKED.
MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK, WITH 13,015 MILES ON IT, WAS IN MY CARPORT AND HAD ONLY BEEN SITTING 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE. AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO SURPRISE HONDA (BIG MISTAKE) AND THEY SAW THAT MY HARNESS (PART NUMBER 53682-TSA-A01) WAS CHEWED BY RODENTS WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS AND KNOWS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. HONDA EVEN HAS A SPECIAL SPICY TAPE, WHICH THEY CHARGE FOR AS WELL, THAT THEY CAN USE TO WRAP THE WIRING TO DETER THE RODENTS (WHICH THE SERVICE MGR SAID REALLY DOESN'T WORK.) HONDA SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 370.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 20.00 DOLLARS. IT IS 108 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE RODENTS ARE NOT GOING INTO MY ENGINE TO KEEP WARM!! THE SOY BASE WIRING IS ATTRACTING THEM TO DO THE DAMAGE. HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIP WERE OF NO HELP WHATSOEVER EXCEPT TO MAKE MONEY OFF A POOR CHOICE IN THEIR SOY BASE WIRING.
THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING-HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, INCLUDING THE FREEWAY...YET HONDA SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES.
I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT, APPROACHING A GATE WITH AN INDUCTIVE-LOOP TRAFFIC DETECTOR, WHICH CAN DETECT VEHICLES PASSING OR ARRIVING AT A CERTAIN POINT, ONCE A VEHICLE IS DETECTED THE GATE WOULD OPEN. I WAS APPROACHING, MAYBE 50 FEET FROM THE GATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE OF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD TOWARDS THE GATE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS I WAS APPROACHING THE GATE WHICH WAS STILL CLOSED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE FLOOR BOARD OR ANYTHING OBSTRUCTING THE PEDALS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO ABRUPTLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID STRIKING THE GATE. MY HONDA IS EQUIPPED WITH HONDA SENSING AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED, MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE THE "BRAKE" WARNING WAS ON, IT OBSERVED THE GATE.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A "POP," THERE WAS NO ALERT OR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COOPERATE. SO I WENT OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I FOUND OUT MY PASSENGER REAR RIGHT SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT COMPLETELY.
I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ON A POURING RAIN AND SUDDENLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED. THIS ALMOST CAUSE ME ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHEN I PRESS MY GAS ON A REALLY FAST HIGHWAY, I TRIED TO FLOOR THE GAS BUT IT WASN'T ACCELERATING, I HAD TO SWITCH GEAR FOR IT TO WORK.
2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK. 22371 MILES. RT. FRT. PASS. AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO " SMART DESIGN ". PER HONDA DEALER, SEAT SENSOR IS NOT DETECTING WEIGHT THRESHOLD WHEN ANYONE SITS WHO ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH. MY WIFE IS 5' 4" & APPROX. 117 LBS. I AM 5' 5" & APPROX. 115 LBS. NEITHER ONE OF US CAN SIT & TURN OFF SRS OFF WARNING. ALSO PER DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY DESIGN AS IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE FORCE CAN INJURE OR WORSE THE PERSON SITTING THERE IF NOT OF CORRECT WEIGHT. MY WIFE WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AT ANY TIME SHE SITS IN FRONT. DEALER ADVISED THAT SEAT BE MOVED FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE OR HAVE HER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. ALSO, THE SEAT SIDE AIR BAG AND/OR SIDE CURTAIN SYSTEM SHOULD STILL PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION. OTHERWISE, NO TROUBLE CODE (S) ARE PRESENT & SYSTEM OPERATING NORMALLY & WITHIN DESIGN PARAMETERS. NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY WIFE BEING UNPROTECTED IN EVENT OF INCIDENT & SHE IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING REQUIRED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT.
POTENTIAL TAKETA RECALL. JULY 14, 2018. I HAD MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE. TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 7 P.M.AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE BUMPED THE CURB.THE DRIVERS SIDE CENTER AIRBAG, LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. IT EXPLODED! I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD RAMMED INTO MY CAR. WHEN THE AIRBAG BLEW, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD FIRED A COUPLE OF 12 GUAGE SHOTGUNS IN THE VEHICLE.SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS ON FIRE. THE IMPACT FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE TO SAY THE LEAST. BY THE TIME I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT TO EXIT THE CAR, THE SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS SO THICK I COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. MY CHEST AND HAND ARE SORE, BUT NOTHING APPEARS TO BE BROKEN. I LEFT THE VEHICLE WHERE IT WAS PARKED AND HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIOP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, SO THAT A COMPLETE EVALUATION CAN BE DONE TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT RESULTED FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN ON THIS WEBSITE, IT DID NOT COME UP AS BEING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE ASAP. THANK GOODNESS I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE WERE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THAT AIRBAG BLEW!
STARTING ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF OLD AND ONLY HAS 18K MILES ON IT. IT FIRST STARTED AROUND THE FALL LAST YEAR WITH MY CAR REPEATEDLY POPPING THE TRUNK WHEN I WOULD NOT BE NEAR IT AND WOULD COME OUT TO IT IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND FIND MY TRUNK WIDE OPEN. LATER ON I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK POPPING OPEN WOULD FORCE THE CAR ALARM TO GO OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND OCCASIONALLY WOULD LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME THE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T CONTINUE (IT HAS CONTINUED AND IN FACT IS HAPPENING AS I TYPE THIS IN MY APARTMENT). THE NEXT ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE POURING RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. UPON HAVING THIS PROBLEM INSPECTED THE TECHNICIANS DETERMINED IT WAS "FAULTY" WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS AND HAD BOTH REPLACED. THE LATEST ISSUE THAT OCCURRED WAS AS I WAS DRIVING TO PENSACOLA FROM WASHINGTON AND STOPPED OFF AT A REST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OREGON FOR SOME SLEEP. UPON WAKING UP (3HRS AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF) I DISCOVERED MY CAR WAS DOING SOME GLITCHY THING WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WHERE IT WAS ACTING LIKE I WAS TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAD NOTHING TURNED ON OR PLUGGED IN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD TOTALLY DISABLED THE CAR.
COMPLETE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE.
WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CONDITION WARNING LIGHTS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND BRAKE HOLD ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME
AC LINE WAS NEVER CONNECTED FROM THE FACTORY WITH BUILT. CAUSED EXCESSIVE WATER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD AND CAUSED MOLD ON THE CARPET
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 9/17/2017. LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT BACK WAS DEFORMED, CAUSING BACK PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY MANIPULATED THE CUSHIONS TO GET THE SEAT BACK TO A MORE COMFORTABLE SHAPE, HOWEVER IT DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME AS WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THAT THE CUSHIONS BECAME DISPLACED AGAIN. THERE ARE TWO CUSHIONS FORMING THE SIDE BOLSTER, AND THE SIDE AIRBAG IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE CUSHIONS BACK INTO PLACE AND DON'T LIVE CLOSE TO MY DEALERSHIP SO IT IS INCONVENIENT TO TAKE IT BACK IN. NOW I HAVE BACK PAIN IN THE AREA WHERE THE SEAT IS DEFORMED AND PUSHING INTO MY BACK. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK HOWEVER I AM AFRAID EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE SEAT THIS PROBLEM WILL KEEP OCCURRING. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IT IN WITHOUT TAKING A HUGE LOSS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH HOW THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD BE EFFECTED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WAS CONTACTED AFTER THIS REPORT WAS COMPLETED. THE SERVICE MANAGER WENT TO THE TOW YARD AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOT A COMPLETE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW PERFORMED TECH (SERVICE MANAGER) COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY CAR DIED/STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. UPDATED 9/26/18*JB
EVERY NOW AND THEN THERE WILL BE BRAKE PROBLE WHILE IM DRIVING CAR WILL STOP IN THE FOR NO REASON.LASTWEEK AS I WAS REVERSING THE CAR HAD AN ERROR STATING ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM AND IT WOULDNT MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF THWN TURN IT BACK ON IT WENT AWAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE ERROR APPEARS AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TURN IT OFF AND WAITED
AT ABOUT 10000 MILES I NOTICED RIPPLES IN MY REAR ROOF PILLARS. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND FIXED IT WITH BODY FILL. I AM WORRIED IF THE ROOF WILL FLEX A DENT LIKE THAT UNDER LOAD THAT IT MAY NOT BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A ?COLD START?, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNWEST HONDA-MAZDA (1030 NORTH COAST HIGHWAY, NEWPORT, OR 97365, (541) 265-8547) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. *TT UPDATED 9/21/18*JB
STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH MY WINDSHIELD WIPES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THEY STOPPED MID WINDOW AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.
FRONT DRIVER WHEEL BEARING. MY CIVICS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE FACTORY WHEEL BEARING HAD NO GREESE OR LUBERCATION INSIDE OF IT CAUSING IT TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR HONDA TO ACTUALLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES IT WAS 'ROAD NOISE'. THE WHEEL BEARING WOULD MAKE A LOUD 'BUFFERING' SOUND BETWEEN 30-70MPH. THE NOISE WOULD ALSO GET WORSE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (GOING ON THE SAME LANE & SIMILAR SPEED AS ANY OTHER CAR) AND SUDDENLY MY BACK-RIGHT TIRE BURSTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, CALLED TRIPLE A AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE RIM OF THE RIMS WAS CRACKED AND TEARED FROM THE INSIDE, BUT THE TIRE ITSELF REMAINED INTACT AND UNPUNCTURED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC BUT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE CLAIMED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT GOING OVER A POSSIBLE POTHOLE VS MATERIAL DEFECT OF THE WHEEL, THUS VOIDING THE WARRANTY. SINCE ITS A NEW CAR, I BELIEVE IT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CRACK AND BE COMPLETELY TEARED SO EASILY DUE TO A POTHOLE (WHICH IS A VERY COMMON THING TO ENCOUNTER). I FEEL AT RISK DUE TO THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I'M UNCERTAIN OF THE DURABILITY OF THE RIMS MODEL ITSELF. NOT ONLY WAS I DRIVING ON THE SAME LANE AS ANY OTHER CAR, BUT CARS THAT WERE IN FRONT OF ME & BEHIND ME DROVE BY JUST FINE. IF IT WAS SOLELY A POSSIBLE POTHOLE MISHAP, THEN A NEW CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH A MINOR IMPACT FROM TYPICAL DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA SERVICES SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND COULD ONLY STAND BY THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK I'LL FEEL SAFE WITH A CLAIM LIKE THIS UNRESOLVED. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A 2017 MODEL CAR, MY SAFETY FEELS MORE AT RISK NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DUE TO A COMMON POTHOLE INCIDENT TO COMPLETELY TEAR-APART THE METALLIC RIMS FROM THE INSIDE WHAT THEY CONCLUDED: "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEN REPORT IT AGAIN FOR THIS TO BE ESCALATED". BUT TO ME, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WAIT FOR IT TO EVEN HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN ITS A DANGEROUS RISK TO MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE TO PREVENT IT THAN TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE THEY REPLACE ONE RIM, DOESN'T MEAN IT COULD PREVENT IT IF IT IS AN OVERALL DEFECTED MODEL.
ALREADY SPECIFY WHAT HAS THE AIRBAGS THE BRAKES, THE SEATS. AND HE STILL MANAGES IT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FINDLAY HONDA (7494 W AZURE DR. LAS VEGAS, NV 89130, (702) 982-4200) WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE AFTER SEVERAL TEST DRIVES. A VIDEO THAT SHOWED HOW THE FAILURE OCCURRED WAS SHOWN TO THE DEALER, BUT STILL NO DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE. IN ADDITION, WHILE CONNECTING THE BLUETOOTH TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT FAILED TO CONNECT. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION TO CONNECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A FIELD TECHNICIAN WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500.
MY HONDA CIVIC 2017 CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT MOVING WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HONDA AND THEY SAW THAT MY SUB WIRING HARNESS WAS CHEWED WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 268.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 28.00 DOLLARS. THIS THEN HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN EXACTLY 2 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND OUT THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. A SPICY TAPE THAT HONDA MAKES THAT CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE WIRING TO RESIST RODENTS I DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE THIS IS.THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE TAPE.. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN GOING ON THE 2ND DAY. THER IS A CLASS ACTION SUITE THAT WAS FILED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. THIS DATES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2010 I WAS TOLD.
"DELAYED SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE" WHEN IN PARK POSITION, I SHIFT THE CAR TO DRIVE, AND THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY IN THE ENGAGEMENT INTO DRIVE; OR WHEN I'M ON A RIDE AND NEED TO PARK AND GO IN REVERSE. I STEP ON THE BREAK AND SHIFT TO REVERSE AND NOTICE IT TAKES ABOUT A SECOND TO A SECOND AND A HALF TO FEEL THAT THE CAR HAS ENGAGED. THE DELAY HAPPENS IF IT'S EITHER COLD IN THE MORNING OR AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE.

THIS IS A 5-DOOR HATCHBACK IN EX TRIM BOUGHT NEW 12/2016. WITHIN 2 WEEKS ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED, FROM XM TUNER GOING OUT TO MAIN HEADUNIT GOING OUT ON A INTERMITTANT BASIS. THIS DISABLES ALL AUDIO, BLUETOOTH, CLIMATE CONTROLS, BACK-UP CAMERA, & LANEWATCH. "CHECK TUNER" SHOWS BRIEFLY OFTEN. OCCURS EVEN WHEN DRIVING. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA REFUSES REPAIR. TPMS ALERT DISPLAYS FREQUENTLY, AFTER A TIRE EVEN A WHEEL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. PER DEALER & HONDA TECH ALL 4 SHOULD BE MATCHING SET @ TIME OF SERVICE, OR DEALER CAN ATTEMPT HARD RESET. SOFTWARE UPDATE RECENTLY DONE FOR THIS. TOLD TO BRING BACK TO DEALER IF/WHEN TPMS LIGHTS UP AGAIN. KNOWN POOR ANDROID AUTO PERFORMANCE & APPLE CARPLAY NON-FUNCTION, NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME (SOFTWARE ISSUES). "CHRISTMAS TREE" DISPLAY - NO ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRIC STEERING, AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, ETC ETC. NO LONG-TERM RESOLUTION, PER DEALER "SOFTWARE ISSUES". GROANING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEELS LEFT OR RIGHT FROM STOP, PER DEALER & HONDA TECH "NORMAL OPERATION". SUNROOF GLASS BREAKAGE IS AT OWNER EXPENSE, NOT A WARRANTY COVERAGE ITEM. ENGINE SHAKES/SHUDDERS ON START, AGAIN "NORMAL OPERATION" PER DEALER & HONDA TECH. POOR HORN PERFORMANCE, PER DEALER ONLY A SINGLE LOW NOTE HORN INSTALLED. NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD EASILY. OWNER EXPENSE TO UPGRADE TO BETTER (LOUDER) UNIT. ELECTRICAL GLITCHES STILL ONGOING ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES. THIS 10TH GEN CIVIC NOT RELIABLE & MAY PROVE A SAFETY CONCERN LONG-TERM. AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPLACING THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN LARGELY INDIFFERENT TOWARDS THESE ISSUES, CITING "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" EVEN "SOFTWARE ISSUES".
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FAILURE AND MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRIC GLITCHES. AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED IN PARK. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT ELECTRIC GLITCHES. FIRST LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY 2017 CIVIC TURN SIGNAL WAS STUCK ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. SECOND 1 MONTH AFTER DASH SCREEN WOULD NOT LOAD. IT WAS "BUFFERING / THINKING" TOOK IT TO AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE BUT FIXED WITH A HARD RESET AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND CHECKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND IT WAS CURRENT. THIRD PROBLEM A 2 WEEKS LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND GOT BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE PARKING BRAKES LOCKED UP. TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE HOLD AND PARKING BRAKE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE BUT WOULDN'T. HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A SECOND HARD RESET. I QUESTION IF MY CIVIC WAS PART OF THE 2016 / PARTIAL 2017 RECALL FOR ELECTRIC GLITCH THAT INCLUDED THE PARKING BRAKE ISSUE.
I HAVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO. I STARTED SEEING LOTS OF INFORMATION ON THE CIVIC FORUM ABOUT OIL DILUTION SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MY ENGINE OIL ANALYZED. THE REPORT CAME BACK SAYING THAT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN MY OIL WAS GREATER THAN 5% WHICH WAS DEEMED CRITICAL . THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITIONS.
AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT (THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING THERE ALL DAY), I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND AND NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ROOFTOP. I STOPPED RIGHT AWAY, GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE A BIG HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL. THE GLASS FELL ON THE ON THE INSIDE ROOF SLIDER (WHICH LUCKILY WAS CLOSED). THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL WAS INTACT AND NOT DAMAGED FROM THE PRIOR DRIVE. IT JUST DISINTEGRATED ON ITS OWN AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND CLEARLY NOT THE RESULT OF A ROAD HAZARD/IMPACT AS HONDA/DEALERSHIP ASSERTED (EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THIS HAPPENED).
THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK, UNOCCUPIED. VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY DESPITE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK POSITION AND STRUCK A GARAGE DOOR. OWNER STATES HE CONFIRMED VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN HE CAME TO THE VEHICLE IN ITS FINAL RESTING POSITION. FOR ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS OCCURANCE, A BRAKE ERROR MESSAGE HAD COME ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A WEEKEND, SO THE OWNER DID NOT NOTIFY A SERVICE PROVIDER BUT WAS INTENDING TO SCHEDULE SERVICE ON THE MONDAY FOLLOWING. A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED WITH HIS AUTO INSURANCE PROVIDER, ERIE INSURANCE, TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE. UNDERLYING ISSUE NEEDS INVESTIGATION AS THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VIN, BUT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER MAKES/MODELS.
SOY BASED WIRING ATTRACTING RODENTS TO CHEW MY WIRING OF VEHICLE. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I FOUND.
I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T AND MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS USED FOR THE WINDSHIELD. CURRENTLY, I HAVE SEVERAL CHIPS AND GASHES IN IT. THIS IS JUST CITY DRIVING AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER POSTS ONLINE OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS THE WINDSHIELD EASILY CRACKING. HECK, I WAS READING A REVIEW ON THE CAR FROM A VERY PROMINENT COMPANY AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED DURING THE REVIEW. ANYWAYS, IT SEEMS LIKE THE QUALITY OR MAYBE THE DESIGN IS VERY MUCH AN ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED AN AUTOMOBILE WHOSE GLASS WAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A CURB, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED: P180531234. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.
THE CAPLESS FUEL DESIGN FREEZES SHUT PREVENTING REFUELING UNTIL ICE DAM IS DEFROSTED. THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAVE SOMEONE STRANDED AS I AM.
I WAS LEFT STRANDED THREE TIMES TODAY IN MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T DUE TO THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND I COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I WASN'T CLOSE TO HOME. I WAS IN ANOTHER STATE.
I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CIVIC 5/16. IT NEEDED A TIRE REPLACEMENT 2 WEEKS LATER. A REPLACEMENT TIRE WAS PUT ON BY A TIRE SHOP. THEY REPLACED A CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT WITH A CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT OF THE SAME SIZE. SINCE THEN THE TPMS ERROR MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE RESET. AFTER 7 MONTHS I WAS FINALLY TOLD THE "NEWLY" DESIGNED 2017 TPMS REQUIRED ALL 4 TIRES TO BE OF THE EXACT TIRE MODEL AND TREAD WEAR FOR IT TO BE RESET. MEANING WE HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES NOW WITH ONLY 12,000 ON THEM. OR DRIVE WITH A THE TPMS WARNING ON UNTIL THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE, AND I SHOULD HAVE READ THE MANUAL VERY CLOSELY TO SEE ONE CANNOT JUST REPLACE 1 TIRE.......THE HONDA SERVICE SHOP DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS NEW ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT EITHER AS THEY HAVEN'T HAD TO REPLACE 2017 TIRES YET. I FEEL THIS IS A UNFAIR AND UNSAFE ISSUE. THE ORIGINAL TIRE SHOP WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS "HONDA" ISSUE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE TIRE 7 MONTHS AGO. THE TIRES "LOOK" EXACTLY THE SAME. DRIVING WITH THE CAR AS IT IS NOW, WITH THE TPMS ALWAYS ON DESPITE ADEQUATE TIRE PRESSURE, DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A "SAFE" OPTION EITHER. IF ONE OF THE OTHER 3 TIRES HAS A FAILURE, WITH THE TPMS ALREADY ACTIVATED, HOW WILL WE BE WARNED.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM.
I WAS BURNED ON MY LEFT ARM AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROPRIATELY 10-15 MPH WHILE TURING LEFT ONTO A HWY WHEN IT WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE
RIGHT HALF SHAFT DEFECTIVE
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE (IN NOVEMBER, IT WAS A DECENT DAY AND BEFORE THE COLD WEATHER HIT), NO TRAFFIC AROUND HIM AND HE WAS NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS, WHEN HIS SUNROOF EXPLODED. HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. HIS EARS WERE RINGING FOR DAYS. HE TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA THAT VERY DAY AND THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS A ROCK AND HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT AND INSISTED THAT THEY REPAIR IT. THEY DID NOT ARGUE AND WERE VERY GOOD TO US AND REPAIRED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND IS REALLY AFRAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED! THE SKY WAS MOSTLY BLUE, THE SUN WAS SHINING, AND THE WEATHER FELT IN THE HIGH 60S FAHRENHEIT. I HAD DEPARTED MY HOME IN RIVERSIDE, CA AROUND 9AM TODAY (SUNDAY, JANUARY 7TH) AND DECIDED TO OPEN THE SUNROOF DUE TO THE NICE WEATHER. I PUT THE SUNROOF IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION PRIOR TO ENTERING THE FREEWAY. NOTE THAT THE SUNROOF WAS FULLY INTACT AND WITHOUT DAMAGE AT THAT TIME. ASI WAS DRIVING EAST ON THE CA-91 FREEWAY,I HEARD A LOUD POP AND CRACKLING NOISE ‪AT ABOUT 9:20AM‬. I ALSO FELT VERY SMALL PARTICLES FALL ON MYARMS AND FACEAFTER THE NOISE. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT, SO THERE WERE NOT ANY NEARBY VEHICLES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.CONFUSED AND CAUTIOUS, I TRIED TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF. WHEN THE SUNROOF CAME OUT FROM THE ROOF ENCLOSURE, I COULD SEE IT WAS SHATTERED AND A LARGE HOLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GLASS. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY AND STOPPING IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT I EXAMINED MY CAR. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THERE WAS SMALL PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NEAR MY GEAR SELECTOR, AS WELL AS A FEW SLIGHTLY BIGGER PIECES IN THE FLOOR OF MY BACKSEAT OF MY CAR. I VISITED A NEAR BY HONDA DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED IT MUST HAVE BEEN HIT BY A ROCK OR SOME OTHER KIND OF DEBRIS. I FIND HONDA'S EXPLANATION NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE SUNROOF WAS IN THE ROOF ENCLOSURE WITH ONLY THE FRONT LIP OF THE GLASS EXPOSED, HOWEVER, THE MIDDLE OF THE SUNROOF IS WHERE THE DAMAGE IS CENTERED, WHICH WAS INSIDE OF THE ROOF ENCLOSURE AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT, AND THEREFORE SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY ROAD DEBRIS COULD HIT THE GLASS INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AS WELL. I PURCHASED MY HONDA CIVIC CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2016, AND IT DID NOT HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE TO THE TIME OF THIS EVENT.
WHILE TURNING STEERING WHEEL AT 180 DEGREES, GRINDING NOISES WERE HEARD. I RETURNED THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT MY LEFT AXLE WAS FAILING. ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS BRAND NEW. ABOUT 2 AND HALF WEEKS LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT STIFF AND THE GRINDING NOISE RETURNED WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT 180 DEGREES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN AND NOW I WAS BEING TOLD THAT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AXELS NEED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, HONDA WARRANTY ONLY COVERS ONE AXEL TO REPLACED AT A TIME. NOW, I HAVE TO GO BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO HAVE MY LEFT AXEL REPLACED AGAIN AS IT IS 'PRE-FAILING' NOW.

SINCE THE FIRST DAY DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL, A C AND DRIVE TRAIN OR WHEEL PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRANSFERRED.FROM A SANTA BARBARA CA DEALERSHIP TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN LUIS OBISPO CA. THEY CALLED ME ON A SUNDAY TO SAY THE CAR WAS THERE IT WAS RAINING AND DARK.

ON THE 7TH OF A 10 MILE RIDE HOME THE WHOLE.ENTIRE DASHBOARD FIRST SIZZLED OUT LIKE AN OLD COMPUTER.MONITOR GOING BAD THEN.COMPLETELY WENT BLANK. I COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. AT THAT POINT I HAD NOT YET HOOKED UP MY PHONE.TO APPLE.PLAY WHICH IS A WHOLE NOTHER SOFTWARE ENDLESS.GLITCH BAG OF ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT POPPED THE HOOD AND ALMOST BURNED MY HANDS ON THE HOOD ARM. THE DIGITAL DASH TURNS BLACK AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH (NO MILES.PER HOUR, ETC). EVERY OTHER DAY MY IN DASH FACTORY SCREEN RADIO GOES BLACK. THE CAR UNLOCKS ITSELF OVERNIGHT EVERY FEW DAYS. MOST IF THIS INCREASES WITH FREQUENCY WHEN IT RAINS. AT LEAST ONE TIME A WEEK THE CAR WON'T UNLOCK BY TOUCH EVEN THO I HAVE THE KEY ON ME. SINCE DAY ONE THE CLIMATE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON FULL BLAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT ROLLED AWAY INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT INJURED HER FOOT AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUBURN HONDA (1801 GRASS VALLEY HWY, AUBURN, CA 95603), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,411.
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR "NEW" FROM COGGIN HONDA IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA AT 11003 ATLANTIC BOULEVARD ON 10/17/17, IT'S PRODUCTION DATE IN THE DRIVERS-SIDE DOOR JAMB IS 02/17, IT WAS ORIGINALLY DEALER PREPPED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 2/21/17, THE DATE CODE ON ALL FOUR TIRES ARE 50/16, INDICATING THE 50TH WEEK OF 2016, OR MANUFACTURED BETWEEN THE DATES OF 12/11/16 - 12/17/16. UPON DRIVING IT HOME ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, THE (TPMS) TIRE-PRESSURE-MONITORING-SYSTEM LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON. SIXTY MILES LATER, AFTER ARRIVING IN MY TOWN OF RESIDENCE, I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL TIRE KINGDOM TIRE STORE TO HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURES CHECKED, TWO TIRES INDICATED 21-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE, THE OTHER TWO TIRES INDICATED 22-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURER STICKER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR-JAMB INDICATES THE TIRES SHOULD BE AT 32-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE. AFTERWARDS, UPON DRIVING IT AT NO-MORE THAN THE NATIONAL POSTED SPEED-LIMIT OF 70-MPH, THE TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE ROAD-NOISE, WITH A SLIGHT VIBRATION. MEANWHILE, I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TPMS RECALIBRATED, SO THE TPMS WOULD GO OUT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION OF ALL FOUR TIRES YESTERDAY, THEY ALL HAVE SMALL BULGES ON EACH TIRE, AND THIS CAUSED ME TO CHECK SEVERAL ONLINE WEBSITES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OF THESE TIRES. THEY ARE CONTINENTAL PRO-CONTACT TX GRAND TOURING ALL-SEASON, IN 215/50-17 TIRE SIZE. AFTER CHECKING NUMEROUS ONLINE WEBSITES AND READING ALL-KINDS OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS FOR VIBRATION, EXCESSIVE ROAD-NOISE, BUBBLES AND CRACKING IN THE SIDEWALLS, AND READING THEY ARE FILLED WITH FOAM FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO KEEP THE ROAD-NOISE DOWN TO A MINIMUM, WHICH APPARENTLY PREVENTS THE TIRES FROM BEING PATCHED FROM THE INSIDE FOR PUNCTURES, AND ALSO COMING APART FROM THE SIDEWALL AFTER BEING REMOUNTED ON A TIRE MOUNTING MACHINE, I AM SCARED OF THEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROVE IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT CAUSED THE CONTACT TO T-BONE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A FORWARD DIRECTION. INSTEAD, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED IN A DOWNWARD DIRECTION. THE SEAT BELT ALSO FAILED TO RETRACT AND LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO LUNGE FORWARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY FROM THE SCENE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE ARM, CHEST, AND KNEE AREAS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT CALLED VALLEY HONDA (4173 OGDEN AVENUE, AURORA, IL 60504; 630-851-5700) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HIS INSURANCE COMPANY NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 263430505; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED HE WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION OF THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT. UPDATED 8/6/18*JB
HONDA CIVICS FROM 2015 ON APPEAR TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL, IN PARTICULAR THE SENSOR FOR THE TRUNK. THE PARTICULAR CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. EXTREME SENSITIVITY RESULTS IN THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE, WITHOUT THE OWNER BEING AWARE, ACTIVATING THE CAR TRUNK, AND THE TRUNK WILL OPEN AND REMAIN OPEN UNTIL THE OWNER OR SOMEONE CLOSES IT. A TRUNK THAT OPENS RANDOMLY AND NOT BY DELIBERATE ACTION IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY FACTOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DEALERS, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND THE AUTO MAKER ITSELF HAVE ALL DENIED THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THAT IF IT DOES EXIST IT CANNOT BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT IS THE OWNER'S ACTION THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN A SUGGESTION OR ADVICE AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH AN OVERLY SENSITIVE REMOTE OR A RANDOMLY OPENING TRUNK. A CAR REMOTE CONTROL WHICH WILL ACTIVATE AN ACTION JUST BY A MERE ACCIDENTAL TOUCH, IS AN INCONVENIENCE AT BEST, AND AT WORST, A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. A CAR WITH AN OPEN TRUNK CAN LEAD TO SITUATIONS WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, AND NOT ACCEPTABLE IN ANY WAY. I AM HOPING FOR SOME ACTION ON THE PART OF THE CARMAKER AND THE AUTO COMPANY, AS I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO AND HAVE FAILED TO RECEIVE ANY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE FROM THOSE WHOM I HAVE CONTACTED. ALTHOUGH ONE PARTICULAR DATE HAS BEEN PROVIDED BELOW FOR THIS EVENT HAPPENING, IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE AND CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY AT ANY TIME.
THIS IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK. I CANNOT START THE CAR SUDDENLY. BATTERY IS OK. AAA REMOVED THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLED IT, THEN THE CAR CAN START. HOWEVER, THE HONDA DEALER SAID WITH THE BATTERY REMOVING, THE ERROR CODE WAS REMOVED SO CANNOT FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALER SAID MOST PROBABLY IT WAS RELATED WITH A SOFTWARE ERROR.
FIRST TIME SPEEDOMETER READING 0 WHILE DRIVING. SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN HWY, ALL ERROR LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON, I HAVE 10 OR SO PHOTOS, OF THE INCIDENT, SPEEDOMETER READ 0 GOING UPWARD OF 50 MPH, POWER STEERING WAS GOING IN AND OUT AND VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BEING IN COLORADO. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING FREEDOM HONDA CO SPRINGS, CO. NOW ITS THE 3RD TIME A REPEAT OF THE SECOND TIME EVERY INDICATOR ERROR LIGHT ILLUMINATING, NO SPEEDOMETER, AND POWER STEERING INTERMITTENT AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF FRIDAY 9/8/2017 FOR DIAGNOSIS.
WIPERS FAILED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. WHEN ACTIVATED, WIPERS ENGAGE INTO UPRIGHT POSITION AND STOP. WIPER MOTOR IS RUNNING BUT WIPERS FAIL TO RETURN TO RESTING POSITION OR TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD. OUTERMOST WIPER IS STRIKING VEHICLE PAINT. COMPLETE FAILURE OF WIPERS WHILE VEHICLE MOVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS.
TPMS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TIRE PRESSURES ARE OK. LIGHT COMES ON IN DASHBOARD AFTER RECALIBATING PER OWNER'S MANUAL AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 40 MILES.
WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK BUT THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD, OVER A SIDEWALK AND INTO A BUILDING. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND COULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT HIT ANOTHER OBJECT. HAD DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO FLASHED ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FLETCHER JONES HONDA LOCATED AT 1111 N CLARK ST SUITE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60610; 312-614-1948), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-999-1009 AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IF THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS BOTH DEPLOYED IN DUE TO A VERY MINOR ACCIDENT. THE HONDA WAS JUST COMING OUT OF A STOP SO THE SPEED COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 5-10 MILES PER HOUR. THE FRONT BUMPER SHOWS NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO WARRANT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. NEITHER ONE OF THE PASSENGERS WAS HURT EXCEPT FOR MINOR BURNS ON THE HAND OF THE DRIVER DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. IT SEEMS THAT THE AIRBAG WERE DEPLOYED NEEDLESSLY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE APPLIED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (CASEY HONDA LOCATED AT 12943 JEFFERSON AVE NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23608) WHERE IT WAS BEING SERVICED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,750.
FLASHING FLICKERING ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM HAS ALSO RESET ITSELF 2 TIMES WHILE IN OPERATION AGAIN FLASHING AND FLICKERING. THE SOUND CUTS OUT AS WELL WHILE THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE A VIDEO RECORDING OF A PARTIAL INCIDENT. HONDA REFUSES TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS REGARDING MY CONCERNS FOR MY SAFETY REGARDING THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED IN THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER THIS OCCURS SPORADICALLY AND THEY HAVE ONLY LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW HOURS EVEN AFTER I ASKED THAT THE VEHICLE NOT BE RETURNED TILL THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED.
2017 HONDA CIVIC WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH 5 MILES ON JANUARY 6, 2017 AND THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED: MILEAGE 3435 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, MILEAGE 3813 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SOP SHUTTER SET INSTALLED, MILEAGE 4242 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CRACKS IN TOP OF FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS, FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND THEN FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED
I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 40MPH. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM FIRED ON AN OPEN ROAD CAUSING MY CAR TO STOP ABRUPTLY. THIS CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THERE WASN'T A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, IT FIRED ERRATICALLY. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER HAS INDICATED "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG". EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE WITNESS'S AT THE SCENE AS WELL AS IT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC ON JANUARY 7, 2017. PREVIOUSLY MY NEW CAR DID NOT WANT TO START ON 1/28/17. 21 DAYS AFTER MY NEW PURCHASE. I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE AGAIN WHEN MY NEW CAR DID NOT WANT TO START ON 4/29/17 AT 5:20PM. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AT 1-866-864-5211 AND THEY SAID A TOW TRUCK WOULD ARRIVE AT 6PM. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP AT 6PM. AT 6PM I RECEIVED A TEXT THAT A TOW TRUCK WOULD SHOW UP AT 6:45PM. IT WAS VERY HOT AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SUFFER FROM A HEAT STROKE. AFTER MANY TRIES, MY CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AT 6:15PM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/1/17 TO CLAWSON IN FRESNO, CA. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RENTALS AND THEY WOULD CALL ME ON 5/2/17. THEY DID NOT CALL ME ON 5/2/17. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/2/17 AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RENTAL CARS. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AT 1-800-999-1009 AND CLAWSON HONDA AUTHORIZED A RENTAL CAR FOR ONE DAY.
MY NEW CAR WILL LET YOU TURN OFF (PUSH BUTTON) AND GET OUT AND WALK AWAY WHILE STILL BEING IN GEAR. I EXITED MY VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION AND IT ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE AND HIT A TREE. IT WAS 3 FEET FROM ROLLING INTO A HIGHWAY THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. OLDER CARS YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR WITHOUT SOME OTHER SAFETY FEATURE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING.
I LEASED MY HONDA CIVIC FROM HERB CHAMBERS HONDA OF BOSTON IN NOV. 2016. IN MARCH 2017 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING, THEY TOLD ME THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED ON THE WIRES UNDER MY VEHICLE. AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND MY CAR RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE WIRING (UNDER MY CAR) DUE TO THE SOYBEAN COATING THAT HONDA IS USING ON THE WIRE COVERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR WARRANTY. REMIND YOU "THIS IS A LEASE." MY BRAND- NEW LEASED CAR WAS COMPLETED DEAD AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T DIE ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAVE READ ONLINE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAD TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLES. I WAS QUOTED $2,600 IN REPAIRS. I ENDED UP PAYING A $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS IN PLACE IN CA AND OTHER STATES REGARDING THE "SOY-BASED WIRE COVERING." THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE BY HONDA.
IS BEEN MORE 1 YEAR WISH I RECEIVED THE LETTER FOR HONDA AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS NO FIX I CALL MANY TIMES TO THE DEALER NO RESPOND
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE RPMS DECREASED TO ZERO. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE ENGINE SHOOK. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE.

MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION ON FREEWAY GOING 68 MPH SPEED UPON IMPACT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, ORBITAL EYE FRACTURE, SPLIT FOREHEAD, AIRBAG MAY HAVE DEPLOYED LATE
I TOOK MY CAR IN DUE TO THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED AT MY RESIDENCE ADDRESSED TO ME ID# 14-034 STATING CLOUD PAINT ON ROOF AND TRUNK AND AN EXTENSION WAS GIVEN. I REMEMBER IT WAS A TUESDAY I TOOK IN BECAUSE THEY SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT IS WHEN PICTURES COULD BE TAKEN AT THE DEALER AND THEN SENT IN FOR APPROVALS. I HAD SOME OTHER THINGS DONE ON MY CAR AND THERE IS RECORD OF IT. HOWEVER THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL AND TOOK THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS ADDRESSED TO ME AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS OF THE CAR. AT THAT TIME THE CLOUDING ON MY CAR WAS MINIMAL HOWEVER NOW A FEW YEAR OUT IT LOOKS LIKE ACID SPILLED ON MY CAR. IT'S ALSO INTERESTING TO SEE SEVERAL OTHER SAME MODEL CARS OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A CLAIM WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEN LATER TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER FOR ANY APPROVALS SINCE ITS WAY PAST THE DEADLINE. I DID AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MEET WITH A SPECFIC PERSON NAMED CASEY AND MADE ANOTHER VISIT AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO LONG STORY SHORT BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH AND FEEL THEY ARE DOING SOME SHADY BUSINESS. SO FRUSTRATED THAT I REFUSED TO BUY MY NEW CAR WITH HONDA AND DECIDED TO BUY A NISSAN ROGUE. I STILL OWN MY CIVIC BUT NOW I AM DETERRED TO EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. I FEEL I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF WHEN I WENT IN DURING THE TIME FRAME AND I WAS THERE WITH MY ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2017 WITH 11 MILES ON 1/7/17. 21 DAYS LATER, ON 1/28/17 MY CAR DID NOT START AFTER WORK. THE TOW TRUCK HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR AND AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS IT STARTED. I WORK DOWNTOWN AND IT WAS DARK AND LATE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. I AM FEARFUL THAT MY "NEW" CAR MAY NOT START AGAIN.
THE HEAD RESTS ARE ANGLED SO FAR FORWARD THAT IT IS CAUSING ME SOME SEVERE NECK PAIN. ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS.
I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I THEN PROCEEDED TO PARK MY CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING THE BUILDING THAT WAS 2 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR THEN REVERSED ON IT'S OWN AND CHARGED FORWARD TO HIT THE BUILDING AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME IT HIT THE BUILDING THE AIR BAG WENT OFF. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE MANUALLY TO PREVENT IT FROM HITTING THE BUILDING. WHEN I DID THIS , THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS .
JUST PICKED UP BRAND NEW CAR FROM DEALERSHIP (SUNSET HONDA I. SAN LUIS OBISPO CA) TRANSFERRED BY THEM FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. CAR IS AN EX AND HAS PREVIOUSLY TEST DRIVEN A 2017 CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT THE DAY BEFORE . DROVE OFF WITH MY MEW CAR THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME WITH 450MILES. RIGHT AFTER I LEFT DEALERSHIP WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR AND WAS DRIVING HOME FOR FIRST TIME GOT ABOUT 6 MILES FROM DEALERSHIP AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS WITH DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED FLASHED AND WENT DEAD (COMPLETELY BLANK A.K.A. BLACK SCREEN OF EARTH). I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 30-35 MPH . DROVE ANOTHER'S ANOTHER MILE (APPROX) WITH NO DIGITAL SPEED DISPLAY AT ALL- COMPLETELY BLACK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (MAIN DISPLAY WHICH NORMALLY SHOWS DIGITAL MILES PER HOUR, TEMP GAUGE, ETC) AND TURNED ON RIGHT HAND SIGNAL TO MAKE RIGHT TURN AND ABOUT FIVE SECONDS LATER RIGHT SIDE CAMERA TURNED ON MEDIA DISPLAY TO RIGHT AND EVENTUALLY DIGITAL DASHBOARD SPEEDOMETER BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED BACK ON. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. NOT SURE HOW F CAR HAS A BAD CPU OR ECU. CALLED DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AS I HAS JUST DRIVEN AWAY 15 MINUTES BEFORE AND THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL. I AM VERY CONCERNED.
▸ Engine stalling at speed — fuel delivery failure can cause sudden loss of power in traffic or on highways
▸ Loss of power steering assist — vehicle becomes difficult to control especially at low speeds and during parking
The blue line shows 558 total NHTSA complaints filed over 11 years, with the worst year being 2024 (88 complaints).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 10/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The recall (red dashed line) followed the first complaints by 1 year — a typical response window; neither unusually fast nor a pattern of denial.
Red dots on the amber line flag 6 years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
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.
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.
Estimates use EPA fuel economy data, AAA 2024 national averages for insurance and maintenance, and a standard depreciation curve. Actual costs vary by location, driving habits, and vehicle condition.
Estimated 5-year cost of ownership: $41,046 (~$684/mo). Repair risk buffer is standard due to vehicle risk profile.
Based on original MSRP of $28,300 with sedan depreciation curve. Range reflects ±15% market variance. Actual value depends on condition, options, and local demand.
15% baseline recall probability — no strong indicators of an imminent recall.
- ▸Multiple prior recalls — pattern of safety issues on this model
Maintenance intervals vary significantly by make, model, year, engine, and driving conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's official schedule — not generic industry estimates.
Tip: Request the seller's service records and compare against the manufacturer schedule. Missing intervals are a negotiation point.
Based on 2024 national avg ($2,011/yr full coverage). Individual rates vary by driver, location & insurer. Always compare 3+ quotes.
HONDA has been fined $93M+ by NHTSA. Most recently in 2016: Additional penalties related to Takata airbag recall management.
