2010 Honda Civic complaints

THE DRIVERS SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT CAUSES PAIN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO FIND A POSITION THAT IS NOT AGONIZING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT LENGTH OF TIME I HAVE SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN THAT INTERFERES WITH MY ACTIVITY. *JS

I HAVE HAD MANY AUTOMOBILES OVER MY ALMOST 60 YEARS OF DRIVING. I DO NOT REMEMBER HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT LESS THEN 35,000 MILES OF USE, & HAVE GONE AS MUCH AS 60,000 BEFORE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. MY CURRENT HONDA CIVIC 2010 NOW NEEDS BRAKES AT 16, 000 MILES SOMETHING IS RADICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR AS MANUFACTURED TO MAKE THIS EARLY REPLACEMENT NECESSARY.

THERE IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS FOR THIS MODEL OF HONDA CIVIC. THE VISOR FALLS APART IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. EITHER THE VISOR IS DOWN BLOCKING SIGHT OF THE ROAD, OR IF YOU HAVE IT RIGGED TO STAY UP THEN YOU HESITATE TO PULL THE VISOR DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT TO STAY UP AGAIN SO YOU END UP DRIVING WITH SUN IN YOUR EYES. EACH TIME I GET A REPLACEMENT IT COSTS ME ABOUT $80 OR SO, SO I AVOID THAT TOO. HONDA, PLEASE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!!!! PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES TODAY. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM, I LOVE MY CAR.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T STAY UP. THE SEAM IS SPLIT AND THE VISOR JUST HANGS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. MOVING OR STATIONARY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT WON'T STAY UP IN EITHER SITUATION. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT UP WHILE I DRIVE.

REPLACED FRONT CONTROL ARM IN MAY 2012 AT COST OF $1000 AT DEALERSHIP. WENT BACK FOR NEW TIRES IN AUGUST 2015 ( APPROX. 15 K MILES DRIVEN IN BETWEEN) AND THEY TELL ME ITS BROKEN AGAIN

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT WILL FALL DOWN AT ANY MOMENT AND NOT FULLY LOCK INTO UP POSITION. THIS WAS ADDRESSED WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE CALLED BACK TWICE AND WAS TOLD HIS REP HAS NOT GOT BACK TO HIM AND I NEED TO WAIT. TIRED OF WAITING BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE VISOR CAN SUDDENLY FALL DOWN IN THE STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION AND BLOCK VIEW. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAY I WILL NEED TO WAIT 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO GET BACK WITH ME. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, JUST LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AND THEY HAVE A PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO FIX IT. BASED ON MY FACTUAL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SO FAR.

SUNVISOR ON DRIVER SIDE IS COMING APART AT THE SEAM AND WILL NOT STAY COMPLETELY IN THE UP POSITION (AGAINST THE ROOF LINER). I HAVE NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED THIS YET AND DREAD IT AS THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I ONLY RECENTLY SURPASSED 36000 MILES, BUT HAVE HAD THE CAR NEARLY 5 YEARS. I HATE HAVING TO PAY A DEALER TO FIX PIDDLY LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THIS KIND OF ISSUE ON A HONDA. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AS I HAD JUST GOTTEN IN THE CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS DURING THIS PAST SUMMER, I WOULD GUESS MID TO LATE AUGUST, WHEN IT WAS VERY HOT IN NORTH ALABAMA. THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN TODAY, IN MID-OCTOBER.

VEHICLE SUN VISORS FAIL AND HANG DOWN BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW. IT CAN HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAN ONLY BE CLEARED BY QUICKLY MOVING VISOR TO SIDE OR HOLDING UP. BOTH ACTIONS EFFECT THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE AUTOMOBILE.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR MECHANISM TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE HAS FAILED. THE VISOR CANNOT BE SET IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION WHICH IMPAIRS VISION. THIS HAPPENS IN STATIONARY AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

SUNVISOR CRACKED AT THE SEAM - CANNOT STAY FOLDED UP AND INHIBITS DRIVING VIEW NOTICED WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE VISOR WOULD NOT GO UP AND CLOSE AGAINST THE INTERIOR ROOF. CURRENT MILEAGE: 28,788

WHEN I START THE CAR IT RUMBLES AND THE RPMS REV UP. I KNOW IT IS THE WIRES THAT GO FROM THE IGNITION COILS TO THE ENGINE THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS BUT.. YOU CANT BUY THAT PART AT AN AUTO PART STORE BC THE WIRE HARNESS IS NOT PATENTED.. TO GO TO HONDA ITS $793. SINCE IVE ONLY HAD THE CAR I HAVE ONLY PUT 50K MLES ON IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT IM HAVING THIS MAJOR OF AN ISSUE THIS SOON.

THE MOTOR MOUNT ON MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE HONDA FORUMS REVEALED MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SOME OF WHOM HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR MOTOR MOUNT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A KNOWN WEAKNESS IN THE DESIGN WHICH HONDA IS NOT ADDRESSING FOR OWNERS.

SUNVISOR CRACKED AT THE SEAM, THUS CANNOT STAY UP AND MAINTAIN AT THE POSITION LAYING FLAT ON THE ROOF

SUN VISOR CAME DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND IT DOES NOT STAYS UP, CAUSING TO BLOCK DRIVING VIEW. I HAVE NOTICED BODY OF THE SUN VISOR DEVELOPED A CRACK, BULGED OUT. I CAN SEE PARTS INSIDE FROM WHERE THE CRACK DEVELOPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED TO STAY IN THE UPWARDS POSITION AND BLOCKED THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE VISOR WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALL THE DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, WHICH WAS ROLLED DOWN. IN ADDITION THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY FOLDED UP. IT HAD SPLIT AND NO LONGER HOLD TO SUPPORT. SEEMS SIMIKAR OR SAME AS EARLIER YEAR PRODUCT RECALL.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR POWER LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AND WITHIN TWO MONTHS THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED AS WELL.

BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS NO LONGER WORK AND ARE SPLIT BY THE BASE. THE PASSENGER SIDE ALWAYS HANGS DOWN AND WHILE LEAVING THE GAS STATION I ALMOST RAN INTO A PEDESTRIAN I COULD NOT SEE BECAUSE OF THE HANGING SUN VISOR OBSTRUCTION. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CANNOT USE THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR FEAR THAT I CAN'T GET IT TO STAY UP.

I AM A FIRST TIME BUYER SO I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT BUYING A CAR . I RECENTLY BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING NON STOP, CALL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MEANS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS . ALSO, IT SHOWS THAT ALL SIDE AIRBAGS ARE OFF . THEREFORE , I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS REQUIRED TO SHOW ME THE CAR FAX OF THE CAR SO I AM NOT SURE IF THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR SALVAGE . I CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN CHECK THE AIR BAG FOR ME THEY STATED TO GO IN THE NEXT DAY, THEREFORE I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS WITHIN THAT SHORT OF TIME BEING . NOW , I AM WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN SEEK ANY HELP OR ADVICE UPON THIS ISSUE.

BRAKES NEED TO CHANGED AROUND 10 K MILES EACH TIME. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE ON THE BRAKES AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHY I NEED TOO CHANGE IT SO OFTEN. PER OTHER CIVIC USERS, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT MADE THE BRAKE WEAR SO QUICKLY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE BRAKES SO WEAR QUICKLY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALL.

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OR VEERING LEFT OR RIGHT THE REAR TIRES (MAINLY THE LEFT ONE) SCREECHES AND SOUNDS LIKE METAL IS GRINDING ON METAL. IT IS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE TIRE TO MIDDLE OF THE SUSPENSION. BUT WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OR STOPPING THERE IS NO NOISE.

1. THE PAINT ON THE ROOF IS FADDING IN BIG BLOTCHES. 2. THE RUBBER AROUND THE FRONT AND SIDE WINDOWS IS CRACKED AND BRITTLE. 3. HEADLAMP COVERS ARE CLOUDY 4. VISORS WARP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME...... 5. TIRE CRACKING

THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED IN THE FRONT AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000. A DAY AFTER THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED, AT A DEALERSHIP, THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAL VERY LOAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY SANDED THE BREAKS LIGHTLY AND PUT STOP SQUEAK ON. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AFTER EACH INCIDENT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE BREAKS TEND TO MAKE THIS EAR SPLITTING SOUND ON DECLINE AND AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. HOT OR COLD DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME WHEN BREAKING. THE CAR IS USED 50%/50% FOR CITY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. 40% OF WHICH IS TRAFFIC. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM TO STOP. ALSO SUN VISOR NO LONGER WILL STAY UP. ANNOYING.

ONE-OWNER 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 33,000 MILES-- THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CAN NO LONGER STAY IN THE "UP" POSITION. IT HAS CRACKED WHERE THE HINGE SPRING IS, AND MAY SOON FALL APART. *TR

THE FIRST SUNVISOR BROKE JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT WASN'T MUCH OF PROBLEM TO GET IT REPLACED. ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE SECOND SUNVISOR BROKE AND CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA THE SUNVISOR WAS REPLACED FOR 17.00. HOWEVER, I REFRAIN FROM USING IT BECAUSE I WORRY THAT IT WILL FALL APART AGAIN. BOTH TIMES IT WAS THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. LAST WEEK THE SUNVISOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE SMALL PARTS, THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO SAFETY AS THEY SHIELD THE DRIVER' EYES FROM THE SUN. EVEN IF HONDA KEEPS REPLACING THIS PARTS AT NO CHARGE, THEY ARE AT BEAT ORNAMENTAL. THE SUNVISORS SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH GOOD QUALITY SUNVISORS THAT LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR. MY 1997 ACCORD STILL HAS FUNCTIONING SUNVISORS AFTER MORE THAN 200K MILES. *TR

MY BRAKES MAKE A WHISTLING RIMING LOUD SOUND. SOUNDS LIKE A BELT. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HONDA I HAD ANOTHER CIVIC FOR 15YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS PLEASE FIX. *TR

SUN VISOR FELL DOWN ON DRIVERS SIDE SCARING DRIVER & COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT. NOW THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP & BLOCKS VISIBILITY. THIS IS A KNOW PRIOR DEFECT & IT APPEARS THEY ARE STILL USING THE SAME PARTS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ADDRESSED. IS ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT NEEDED TO CALL HONDA ON THIS? IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE , JUST DEPARTING FROM A RED LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, A NEWER TAHOE SLAMMED THEIR BRAKES ON SUDDENLY, THE CIVIC WAS COMPLETELY UNDER THE TAHOE, THE CAR (CIVIC) WAS TOTALED. FRONT BUMPER COMPLETELY OFF THE CAR. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS A COMPLETE LOSS, AS I CAME ONTO THE SCENE I NOTICED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I ASKED THE POLICE INVESTIGATOR WHY. HE DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL. I THEN CALLED THE HONDA CORPORATION AS WELL AS THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY SAY "DUE TO THE LOW SPEED IMPACT, THEY USUALLY DO NOT SET OFF THE SENSORS. WHAT? THE ENTIRE BUMPER WHERE THE SENSORS ARE LOCATED WAS RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF, YET THEY SAY IT WAS DUE TO LOW SPEED IMPACT. MY DAUGHTER HAD MAJOR WHIP-LASH, HER CHEST WAS BRUISED VERY BADLY BY THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS STILL HAVING PAIN IN HER TOP BACK. I AM ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT HURT WORSE, BUT THE REASON I BUY HONDAS IS DUE TO SAFETY FEATURES AS PROMISED. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED. THE VISORS ARE MADE UP OF TWO HORIZONTAL PIECES OF PLASTIC SNAPPED TOGETHER. BOTH VISORS HAVE SEPARATED AND NO LONGER "GRIP" THE VISOR SWING ARM, THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHES THE VISOR TO THE CAR AND ALLOWS IT TO BE REPOSITIONED. ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE VISOR RESULTS IN THE TWO PIECES OF THE VISOR SEPARATING FROM EACH OTHER AND THE VISOR BECOMING DISENGAGED; MEANING, IT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW ITSELF TO BE ADJUSTED. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY IN ANY SET POSITION. ALL ATTEMPTS TO PUT IT BACK TO ITS RETRACTED POSITION AGAINST THE HEADLINER WILL RESULT IN IT JUST FALLING BACK DOWN TO THE NEUTRAL VERTICAL POSITION. MY HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE INITIAL FAILED DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR AFTER I COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BEING THAT MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE SAME DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN IT FAILED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 36 MONTH / 36000 MILE WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 52000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S VISOR THAT WAS REPLACED FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $90 TO REPLACE EACH SIDE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE PLACARDED BOTH WITH "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL DOWN INOP." MY CIVIC HAS A THROUGH MAINTENANCE HISTORY RECORD AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY THE SAME HONDA DEALER. THE DATES AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED BUT WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE BOTH MILEAGE AND DATES WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES OR A COUPLE MONTHS USING THE SERVICE RECORDS/NOTES. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE BY SIMPLY PULLING DOWN THE VISOR TO SHIELD MY EYES AT 55MPH. IT NOW JUST HANGS HALFWAY DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF AREA. I HAVE READ THAT HONDA HAS HAD ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THEIR VISORS BUT ONLY FIXING UP TO 2009 AND MINE IS A 2010. THIS IS A BIT DANGEROUS. *TR

THE MOTOR MOUNT SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACED AT 62,409 MILES. IT VIBRATES VERY BAD WHEN IN REVERSE AND MAKES THIS UNGODLY NOISE. *TR

EVERY 9,000 TO 10,000 MILES REAR BRAKE PADS WORN OUT PREMATURELY CAUSING ROTORS TO LOCK UP WITHOUT WARNING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE OCCURRED ON ALMOST ALL 2010 HONDA CIVIC. IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION BRAKE PADS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 30,000 MILES IN COMPARE TO OTHER MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS WITH HONDA AND FIND A REMEDY FOR THE FIX. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC, WITHIN A MONTH AFTER PUTTING 5,000 ON MY HONDA CIVIC I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES, BRAKES ARE FAULTY, IVE WENT THRU 2 BRAKE JOBS WITHIN A YEAR AND ONLY 12,000 MILES.......NEED TO RECALL THE BRAKES. *TR

SUBMISSION FROM CONSTITUENT RE TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION, ALSO INCLUDING RUSTY WALLACE HONDA IN KNOXVILLE AND COOKEVILLE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AS OFFICIAL WARRANTY SERVICERS (FULL DOC NOT IMAGED). *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE DEALER STATED THE CONSUMER HIT SOMETHING, WHICH CAUSED WATER TO LEAK, AND THE ENGINE TO BLOW. THE CONSUMER REFUTED THE DEALERS CONCLUSION. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. AN INSPECTION REVEALED, THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN, BECAUSE A BRACKET PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND AFTER MARKET PARTS WERE USED, WHICH VOIDED THE WARRANTY, THE CONSUMER HAD. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A CLEAN CARFAX REPORT. *JB

PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR. HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PAD AT 24,022 MILES. *TR

IT STARTED AS A SCRAPING NOISE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WHEEL, ON THE FOURTH DAY THE NOISE WAS OVERWHELMINGLY LOUD, SCRAPING SOUND EVEN THOUGH MY SPEED WAS UNDER THE LIMIT. I TOOK MY CAR TO NTB FOR REPAIR AND WAS SHOCKED! REPLACED DISC BRAKE PADS,BRAKE SHOES,TWO ROTORS EVEN THOUGH THE ONE LOOKED SMOOTH THEY BOTH HSD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

BROUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON 9/27/14. WAS TOLD I HAD A POWER STEERING LEAK AND MY ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1200.00. I WAS TOLD THE LEAK IS VERY SLOW AND NOT AN IMMEDIATE CONCERN BUT THAT IT WILL GET WORSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR FOR THE CIVIC. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR

TODAY, 9/24/2014, I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE CAR HAS ONLY 46,147 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THE CAR VERY CAREFULLY AND WE DON'T LIVE IN A MOUNTAIN AREA. FIRST TIME WE CHANGED THE BRAKES WAS AT 10,000 MILES. I CHOSE HONDA CIVIC BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS HONDAS I HAD, AND NONE OF THE PREVIOUS HONDA HAD BRAKES ISSUES LIKE OUR 2010 CIVIC. I HAD A 2008 CIVIC WHICH I LEASED AT THAT TIME, AND I EXITED THE LEASE AT 36,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE BRAKES ONCE! I FEEL THAT MY 2010 CIVIC HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKES AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT SAID THEY HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS AHEAD AND ADMIT OF THEIR FAULTY BRAKE PADS AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND CEILING AIR BAG DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED AN INJURY TO THE FACE AND THE DRIVER SEAT WAS FRACTURED IN HALF BY A METAL FRAGMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V351000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,011. ..UPDATED 10/07/14 *BF REMAILED 11/19/14*LJ UPDATED 3/25/2015 *JS

VEHICLE HAS GRINDING NOISE. BROUGHT TO HONDA (NORM REEVES HONDA/HUNTINGTON BEACH) DEALERSHIP. FOUND THAT LEFT FRONT SENSOR BROKE OFF . ISSUE: WHY WOULD A BRAKE PAD EARLY WARNING DEVICE (SENSOR BREAK OFF). LEFT SIDE BROKE COMPLETELY, THE RIGHT SIDE WAS HALF BROKE. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED. IT ALSO CAUSED EXTRA COST BY CAUSING ROTORS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ABOUT (3 YEAR WARRANTY) 3 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THESE WHITE SPOTS STARTED THE FORM ON BACK AND TRUNK OF THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS WEAR N' TEAR BUT IF YOU WERE TO LOOK UP HOW LONG A PAINT JOB IS SUPPOSE TO LAST...SHOULD BE 10+ YEARS IF PROPERLY DONE. THE REALLY SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR FREE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DO NOT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY A SIGNIFICANT ABOUT OF MONEY TO PREVENT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FROM TURNING INTO SWISS-CHEESE. *TR

SECOND TIME SEEING THIS ON A HONDA CIVIC. THE MOTOR MOUNTS GO BAD FAIRLY QUICKLY AND THIS TIME WENT BAD ON ME UNDER 36000 MILES. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. THE CAR STARTS RELENTLESSLY VIBRATING. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPPED DOWN. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT HAD SEPARATED SO IT NO LONGER STAYS UP. I'M LUCKY IT HAPPENED AFTER I HAD COME BACK FROM DRIVING 40 SOMETHING MILES ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. FROM LOOKING AROUND IT WOULD BE ABOUT A 46 TO 53 DOLLAR REPAIR PLUS SHIPPING IF I DO IT MYSELF. WHAT A RIP OFF ON SOMETHING POORLY DESIGNED. I'VE ALREADY SEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND SOME HONDA FORUMS (EVEN ON AMAZON WHERE IT SHOWS PEOPLE WHO TECHNICALLY IN WARRANTY (EXTENDED) BUT DON'T KNOW) WHICH SHOW DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS. ITS STILL HAPPENING TO THE 2010 HONDA'S SO ITS NOT JUST THE EARLIER MODELS OF THE 2006-2008. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A TURN, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

PLASTIC PART OF CAR KEY HOUSING FELL FROM THE METAL PART OF THE KEY AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. AT HOME, AFTER THE KEY HOUSING FELL TO THE CAR FLOOR, I EXAMINED IT. THE PLASTIC KEY HOUSING HAD FINE CRACKS WHERE METAL PART OF KEY WAS SUPPOSED BE SECURED WITH A TINY SCREW THAT WAS STILL IN THE METAL KEY. THE FINE CRACKS WAS ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE HOUSING TO OPEN AND SLIP OFF THE METAL KEY. APPARENTLY, THE METAL END OF THE KEY ISN'T LONG ENOUGH TO BE A LEVER WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION. THE PLASTIC HOUSING OF THE KEY TWISTED WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND RESULTED IN THE CRACKS AT THE BASE OF THE KEY. WITHOUT THE PROGRAMMED CHIP ATTACHED TO THE METAL KEY, THE IGNITION SHUTS OFF. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT AT SEAM, DROPPING VISOR INTO LINE OF SIGHT. COMMON PROBLEM ON CIVICS, CLASS ACTION SUIT RESULTED IN WARRANTY EXTENSION TO SEVEN YEARS FOR MODELS THROUGH 2009. THEY KEPT INSTALLING THE SAME DEFECTIVE VISORS, BUT THE 2010 MODEL IS NOT COVERED. *TR

MY 2010 CIVIC HAS 40,000 MILES NOW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE FACTORY SEAL LEAKING AND CAUSING WATER TO COME INTO MY CAR. HENDRICK HONDA IN BRADENTON, FL ADVISED IT WAS DUE TO "LUCK OF THE DRAW...VERY BAD LUCK" AND "I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE." HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IN THE STATE OF FL YOUR CAR INSURANCE WILL PAY TO REPLACE YOUR WINDSHIELD ONLY IF THERE IS A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD SO THAT WAS $300+ OUT OF POCKET. MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS SPLIT IN TWO CAUSING IT TO DANGLE IN FRONT OF MY FACE... AGAIN NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE DEALER QUOTED $100 PER VISOR FOR REPLACEMENT. *JS

I HAVE REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR 3 TIMES BECAUSE EACH TIME IT BREAKS. THE FIRST TIME IT BROKE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. THE THIRD TIME MY BROTHER BOUGHT THE VISOR AND INSTALLED IT FOR ME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED IT AGAIN AFTER SEEING THAT THESE VISORS SIMPLY WILL NOT LAST. I OBVIOUSLY TRIED BEING MORE CAREFUL AFTER SEEING THAT USING THE VISOR WOULD BREAK IT. THE SECOND AND THIRD IT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED USING IT AFTER I GOT IN THE CAR, THE FIRST TIME HOWEVER, IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HEAT, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,365.
