WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR WITH THEIR SEAT BELT ON SECURELY LOCKED THE CAR BEEPS THEN THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WARNING "NO PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS ON" OR "CHECK SEAT BELT." IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT BELT'S SAFETY AS IF THERE IS NO SEAT BELT.

WHEN I AM TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR THE CAR MAKES A LOUD SQUEAL OR GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, THUS KEEPING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO TAKE OFF ANYWHERE OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR MAKING IT UNSAFE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP IF AROUND OTHER TRAFFIC. I'VE RESEARCHED IT AND APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS ON NEARLY ALL 2012-2015 HONDA CIVIC SI MODLES DUE TO THE FAULTY CLUTCH BEARINGS SENT FROM THE FACTORY. HERE IS A LINK SHOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING (THIS IS NOT MY VIDEO! ONLY A VIDEO I HAVE FOUND WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM). HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/BN3NCRRZE9O

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.
