I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE BRAKES DIDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS MOVING AROUND 40 MPH. AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING TO EARLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE LIGHTLY DEPRESSED. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE FURTHER DID NOT INCREASE BRAKING FORCE. I HAD TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION BY RUNNING OFF THE ROAD INTO AN EMBANKMENT. I HAVE FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE REPORTED THIS IS FROM A VSA, ABS, TCS MODULATOR THAT IS FAULTY. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE A FAIL-SAFE DESIGN NOT A FAIL-ARMING TYPE SYSTEM. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT IT DOES NOT! I ASKED A CO-WORKER WHO HAS A NEWER MODEL HONDA CIVIC AND SHE SAID THIS ISSUE HAS STARTED WITH HER CAR AS WELL.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS PART OF TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPG THROUGH A CVS PARKING LOT WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG WENT OFF IN MY FACE WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING FORCING ME TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE CURB AND POP MY TIRE AS WELL AS PULL THE FENDER LINER OFF.

Steering

GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL, WITH OUT WARNING, AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. IT'S THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. IT GOT ALOT WORSE. NOW IT WILL TURN THE STEERING WHEN I START THE CAR. THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE CHECK ENGINE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TURNING ALSO WAS HARD. IT WOULD STICK OR BE HARD TO STEER THEN WOULD FIGHT THE WAY YOU WANTED TO GO. HONDA HAS A OPEN CAMPAIGN ABOUT THIS PART THAT IS BAD FOR 150,000 OR 10 YEARS. BUT MY CAR HAS 94,000 AND JUST OVER 10 YEARS AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!

TAKATA INFLATORS WHEN I DRIVE THE HONDA CIVIC SI THE LIGHT OF THE AIRBAG IS ON ALMOS ALL THE TIME

I HAVE THIS AIRBAG LIGHT ON WITH INTERMITTENT ON/OFF FOR SOME TIME AND NOW IS CONSTANTLY ON. THE PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON ALSO, WHICH I BELIEVE IT'S MORE CRITICAL, IS THAT IT'S NOT SENSING ANY PERSON SEATING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOT DETECTING SEAT BELT NOT CLICK ON AND AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY ON PASSENGER SIDE IF THERE IS A CRASH. HONDA IS ASKING ME TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE SEAT FOR $ 2,600 (IF I WERE TO TRADE MY CAR FOR A NEW ONE THEY PROBABLY DON'T GIVE ME NOT EVEN $ 5,000 FOR MY CAR. I'LL WAIT WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS COVERED BY A RECALL. HOPE THIS COMPLAIN HELPS TO SPEED IT UP.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
