2010 Honda Civic complaints

RIDES ROUGH SHAKES FEELS THAT IT'S GOING TO STALL. VERY OBVIOUS WHEN STOPPING FOR RED LIGHTS. VIBRATION OCCURS IF I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. SOMETIMES IT STOPS IT BUT IT DOES REOCCUR. ALSO THE A/C MAKES THE CAR VIBRATE EVEN MORE. WAS SERVICED HOWEVER HAD TO BRING IT BACK, PAYING $160. , IN AUGUST 2012 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TOOK IT FOR A RIDE FELT SOMETHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PROCEEDED TO REALIGN FRONT WHEELS. RODE WITH A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE DEPT FOR A GOOD 20 MINUTES AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE CAR. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND, TO DATE, IT IS STILL HAPPENING. A MEMBER OF THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME IN CONFIDENCE THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE A/C BUT THEY HAVEN'T FOUND HOW TO FIX IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER CIVICS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *JS

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HANGING DOWN - WILL NOT STAY UP - WILL NEED TO REPLACE BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE/HAZARD WITH VISIBILITY. *TR

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, FEATHERING AND NOISE. *TR

I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES WERE GONE AT APPROXIMATELY 30K MILES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR AN ISSUE. NEW FRONT BRAKES WERE INSTALLED. THEN AS OF JUNE 2014, WITH ONLY 23K MILES ON THIS SET I AGAIN HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. NO SQUEALING TO INDICATE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I'M VERY NERVOUS NOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF THE BRAKES ARE GOING. I DEEM THIS TO BE AN EXTREME HAZARD AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S TIRE CAVED IN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND NOTICED THAT THE TIRE MOUNT WAS BENT AND THE WHEEL SUSPENSION ARM WAS FRACTURED IN HALF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

THIS IS TO ADD TO NHTSA COMPLAINT #10595971. THE YOUTUBE URL ADDRESS THAT I ORIGINALLY POSTED IS INCORRECT. HERE IS THE CORRECT URL ADDRESS TO VIEW MY VEHICLE?S DEFECT: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XIYZNF6IGBE&SNS=EM THIS IS ANOTHER YOUTUBE VIDEO OF A DIFFERENT 2010 CIVIC (NOT MINE) WHO IS HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE WATER LEAK: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EHUBE9YDMM8&SNS=EM. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN A CLICKING NOISE ON OCCASIONS WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE DEALER SLOANE HONDA ASSESSED THE PROBLEM BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I NOTICED THE SOUND IN 2013 +/- AND I REQUESTED IT TO BE CHECKED OUT DURING UPCOMING SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. *TR

DAY1: I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX-L SEDAN WITH MILEAGE OF 95-100K. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-MPH (BEST GUESS-TIMATE), THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GREEN LIGHT NEXT TO DRIVE (D) BEGAN FLASHING AND VSA INDICATOR WAS LIT TOO; VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE A BIT JERKY SHIFTING. TOOK IT INTO HONDA AND THEY CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID, AS WELL AS REPLACED THE 3RD GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. DAY 3: I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SYMPTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY FLUCTUATING WILDLY / READING TOO LOW OR ZERO VALUES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A COMPUTER UPDATE, CLEARED ERROR CODES, AND A 10-MIN TEST DRIVE DID NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. DAY4: WHILE GENTLY ACCELERATING TO 45-MPH, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE SPEEDOMETER ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO NEAR "ZERO". IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN-SHIFTED TO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO SCREECH (AS IF I HAD JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT I HAD NOT). THE ABRUPT DECELERATION OF MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME, WHO WAS ALSO ACCELERATING AND NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE (I IMAGINE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING OF BRAKE LIGHTS). THIS TIME, BEFORE RETURNING TO DEALERSHIP, I PERFORMED ONLINE RESEARCH AND WHEN I DID RETURN TO THAT DEALERSHIP, I SUGGESTED THEY CHECK THE ENGINE'S SPEED SENSOR. SURE ENOUGH, THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE SPEED SENSOR AND HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE (3 WEEKS NOW). I'M REPORTING NOW BECAUS

THERE IS A WATER LEAK INSIDE OF MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC LX THAT OCCURS WHEN IT RAINS.THE WATER LEAK IS EVIDENT AROUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG AND OTHER SECTIONS WHICH MAY NOT BE VISIBLE.SEE MY YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT I MADE WHICH SHOWS THE PROBLEM AS IT IS OCCURRING: HTTP://YOUTU.BE/XIYZNF6IGBE ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE WATER LEAK WILL CORRODE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND PREVENT IT FROM WORKING PROPERLY IN AN ACCIDENT. A SEARCH ON YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE ABOUT THE WATER LEAK ON THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE REVEALED THAT OTHER HONDA CIVIC CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE MY VIDEO UPLOAD OF THE ISSUE, AT LEAST ONE PERSON HAS E-MAILED ME VIA MY YOUTUBE ACCOUNT AND REQUESTED FOR ME TO LET HIM KNOW HOW THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED BECAUSE HE IS ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I NOTICED THE WATER LEAK I CONTACTED HONDA MOTORS AND HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AT SLOANE HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. HOWEVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE WATER LEAK AND THEREFORE ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COMPLETED THE ASSESSMENT AS A COURTESY TO ME.THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 28K MILES; HOWEVER THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2010 MODEL IS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. BECAUSE THE WATER LEAK WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPLICATED AT THE SERVICE LOCATION,HONDA MOTORS IS UNWILLING TO GO ANY FURTHER WITH ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. ANY FURTHER VISITS TO THE SERVICE STATION WOULD REQUIRE FOR ME TO PAY OUT OF POCK

ABOUT A YEAR AGO - THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. WE STOPPED AND HONDA SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND CHANGED THE ENGINE (UNDER WARRANTY STILL). SINCE THEN, WE HAVE MULTIPLE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT SIGNS WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY OR MIDDLE OF CROWDED CITY, AS WELL AS THE DRIVE LIGHT JUST STARTS RANDOMLY BLINKING FORCING US TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE CAR. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME, THEY ARE NOW CHANGING THE ENGINE FOR THE 3RD TIME AND THERE IS CONSTANT LEAK AND WARNING SIGNS STILL. THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY KNOW OUR WARRANTY IS RUNNING OUT IN OCTOBER - SO THEY JUST CHANGE ENGINE OR REPAIR A LEAK (WITHOUT ACTUALLY FIGURING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS) AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR WARRANTY TO RUN OUT. IT IS ALL BEEN AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER AND NOW HONDA JUST DO NOT SEEM TO CARE - WE ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE THINK THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT AS THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM (IE ENGINE) THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND JUST REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR US TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR AS HONDA AND US BOTH KNOW THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND DRIVING IN HIGHWAY OR A ROAD COULD MEAN AN ACCIDENT ANYTIME. HOWEVER, HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE - THEY SAY WELL WE WILL KEEP ON REPLACING ENGINE UNTIL WARRANTY RUNS OUT. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET A NEW CAR OR A CAR WITH EQUAL MILEAGE (AS OF FEBRUARY 2013), AS WE HAVE NOT BEEN

SUN VISOR CRACKS BECAUSE OF HOT WEATHER. THE SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED BEFORE FOR HONDA CIVIC MODEL FROM 2006 TO 2009. I BELIEVE HONDA STILL USED SOME DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS ON SOME HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. *TR

BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION WELL. I HAVE TO PUSH IT HARD TO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO STOP EVEN WHEN THE SPEED IS VERY LOW. I ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITION IS ON, BRAKE WORKS WORSE. I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE A SELF-ACCELERATION PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITION IS ON. *TR

TIRE BLOWOUT ON FREEWAY. DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. SPEED APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. CAUSED CAR TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. CAR ENDED UP FACING OPPOSING TRAFFIC BETWEEN CARPOOL LANE AND ADJACENT LANE. REQUIRED EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO GET CAR OFF FREEWAY. TIRE INFORMATION: MICHELIN PRIMACY MXV. DOT N4TA Y4YX 2313. TIRES WERE PURCHASED DEC 30, 2013 FAILED IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD 41789 MILES WHEN TIRES WERE PURCHASED (TIRES HAD LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON THEM). THEY STILL HAVE HAIRS ON THEM FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. TIRE WAS INSPECTED BY SEARS PERSONNEL (EUNG LEE) ON FOOTHILL IN PASADENA. IT WAS HIS OPINION THAT IF THERE WAS A DEFECT ALL 4 TIRES WOULD HAVE FAILED INSTEAD OF A SINGLE TIRE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 YEARS AGO AND AFTER 6 MONTHS STARTED BRAKE PROBLEMS. CAR DOESN'T COME TO COMPLETE STOP IF DON'T PRESS IT VERY VERY HARD. WHEN I TOOK CAR TO DEALER, HE SAYS GOOD AND WORKING FINE. I TOOK CAR TO MORE THAN 10 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME. BUT I CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I APPLY BRAKES HARD. *TT

HERE WE ARE AGAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS WITH ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN BRAKES. HAVE SPEND OVER 1800 DOLLARS ON PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. CAR STILL WEARING OUT BRAKES IN UNDER 10K. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. COUNTLESS FOLKS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THE BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIALS. *TR

I PURCHASED NEW TIRES AT 52,000 MILES AFTER ROTATING THE OLD ONES EVERY 8,000 MILES. THE OLD TIRES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WORE UNEVEN ON BOTH THE FRONT AND THE REAR SINCE I ROTATED THEM 5 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO APPLE HONDA IN RIVERHEAD,NEW YORK WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THE SERVICE TECH. SAID "THE REAR RIGHT CAMBER IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ,SOMETHING IS BENT. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP".I THINK IT CAME THIS WAY WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2010. *TR

THE IGNITION-LOCK SYSTEMS ALLOWS MY CAR TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT EVER PUTTING MY CAR INTO PARK. IT HAS ROLLING IN THE PARKING LOT. I VISIT MY LOCAL DEALER AT HONDA TARRYTOWN, THEY TOOK THE CARE FOR 6 DAYS CHANGE THE KEYS, THE COMPUTER, LOCK ASSY, CONTROL MODULE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THE KEY STILL COMES OUT WHILE IN DRIVE. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS COVER UNDER GUARANTEE. I AGREE TO ALL THE REPAIRS BUT THEY WANTED ME TO PAY $2,400 BECAUSE THE PART WERE NOT COVER. I ENDED UP PAYING $136.02 TO COVER THE DIAGNOSTICS. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. IT WAS THE WRONG DIAGNOSTIC AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. *TR

HAD REPAIRS TO BRAKES AND ROTORS RESURFACED AFTER BEING TOLD TWO DAYS PRIOR BRAKES WERE FINE. SINCE THEN PARKING BRAKE LOCKS UP DURING COLD WEATHER UNABLE TO USE. *TR

OTHER DRIVER SLAMMED INTO REAR OF MY CAR AT ABOUT 30 MPH. I RECALL GOING FORWARD INSIDE MY CAR BUT IT SEEMS SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN. TURNS OUT MY DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN IN THE ACCIDENT AND MY BEST GUESS IS ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS GOING FORWARD. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS USUAL OR NOT. I'VE NOT HEARD OF IT. ALSO, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS MOVING FORWARD IS REASON SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FELT STEERING TIGHTEN UP WENT TO TURN AROUND CORNER AND COULD NOT STEER CAR THE STEERING WAS LOCKED UP STOPPED IMMEDIATELY LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.TURNED STEERING WHEEL FORCEFULLY TO RIGHT AND LEFT AND IT SEEMED FINE STARTED OUT STEERING TIGHTENED AGAIN. STOPPED DRIVING CAR FOR COUPLE MONTHS CALLED PAYAS AUTO WERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY CAME AND GOT IT THEY INDICATED IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE CAR WORKED STEERING WAS FINE. THEN WINTER IN VERMONT HIT AGAIN ONE COLD MORNING I WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WENT TO LEAVE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP LEFT CAR RUNNING FOR AN HOUR AND STEERING WAS WORKING GOT ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS 17 DEGREES GOING 70 MPH STEERING LOCKED UP GOT OFF INTERSTATE SLOWED DOWN TO 45 MPH STEERING WAS STIFF YET NOT LOCKED AS IT WAS WHEN I WAS GOING 70. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TRUE PROBLEM IS WITH THE STEERING HOWEVER IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I BELIEVE THE COLD IS FREEZING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SINCE THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED POWER STEERING DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS CAR IT CAN NOT BE POWER STEERING FLUID PROBLEM. I AM TODAY, TAKING CAR TO AUTOMASTER MY HOPE IS THEY WILL GET TO THE TRUE PROBLEM IT IS NOT A FUSE AND IT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS(AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS STEERING PROBLEM EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES). *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WAS NOT STAYING IN PLACE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. YESTERDAY, WHEN I TRIED TO ADJUST IT, THE WHOLE THING CAME RIGHT OFF. THE VISOR SPLIT OPEN AND A BUNCH OF LITTLE PLASTIC PIECES INSIDE WERE BROKEN. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE PART COSTS $45 AND LUCKILY I'M NOT BEING CHARGED A SERVICE FEE. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I HAVE READ A LOT ABOUT IT ONLINE AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER USES SUCH CHEAP PARTS THAT WILL MELT OR BREAK. *TR

AS A PRECAUTION, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXPECTING SOME PAD WEAR AT THIS MILEAGE BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. MY VERY TRUSTED MECHANIC SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PADS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON NEXT OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY PADS HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS - A $650 REPAIR ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. THE MOST TROUBLING THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO "CRICKETING" OF THE BRAKE PADS AT ANY TIME! AND NO OTHER TYPICAL BREAK WEAR FUNCTION ISSUES. NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW, ASIDE FROM A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WHY THE NHTSA IS ALLOWING HONDA TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE IS COMPLETELY BEYOND COMPREHENSION. *TR

PREMATURE WORM BRAKES. ITS A NEW CAR WITH NEW BRAKES. AFTER BARELY 5000 MILES I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. *TR

TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT, FROM A DEAD STOP, I RAN INTO A CURB ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THE FRONT TIRE WENT OVER THE CURB, BUT ONLY THE FRONT TIRE. AFTER COMING BACK IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD, THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND SEAT (2-DOOR COUPE) DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE CAR, I DID NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER OBJECTS OR VEHICLES, AND I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HIT CURBS WITHOUT THIS ISSUE. THE MANUAL SAYS THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT A CURB QUALIFIES AS SUCH. MY CAR IS NOW UN-DRIVABLE. I BELIEVE THE SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN THEIR ABILITY TO PROPERLY DETECT A "MODERATE TO SEVERE" ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS 3- YEARS OLD, WITH ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT. NO ACCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS. OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED THAT INJURIES RESULTED FROM AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY. PERHAPS THESE SENSORS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CERTIFIED/PRE-OWNED AT HONDA OF BOWIE, [MD]. I DROVE IT FROM UPPER MARLBORO TO HYATTSVILLE AND PARKED IT. AN HOUR LATER IT DID NOT START WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR. I CALLED COLLEGE PARK HONDA BUT THEN CALLED HOB. THEY SENT A FREE TOW TRUCK AFTER I CALLED, IRATE. AT HOB, THE SALESMEN SAID THE BATTERY WAS "NOT UNDER WARRANTY." AT MY INSISTENCE THEY REPLACED IT FREE. A TECHNICIAN SAID IT HAD A FAULTY CELL IN IT. I HAD NOT EVER HAD THIS BEFORE. MY FIRST BATTERY IN MY 1997 HONDA LASTED 153,000 MILES! THE SALESMEN WERE NOT SYMPATHETIC AT FIRST. THE CASHIER WAS ANNOYED I WANTED HONDA CORPORATE'S # AND THE HEAD MANAGER. OTHER THAN THE 2 TECHNICIANS AND 1 SERVICE REP, IT WAS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE TO OCCUR. *TR

FRONT END COLLISION BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH. HEAVY FRONT END DAMAGE. AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, THE RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER PROPERLY. PASSENGER WAS FOUND IN THE FLOOR BOARD WITH THE SEATBELT AROUND HER. EXPERT INVESTIGATING THE ACCIDENT NOTICED A DEFECT WITH THE SEAT BELT NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT SHOWED SOME ERROR CODES REGARDING THE POWER STEERING MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE KEY OUT OF MY CIVIC 2010'S IGNITION WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. ALSO, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE FULLY, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO ROLL. *JS THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST, AND I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE MAIN HONDA CORPORATION TO REPORT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LOOK AT THIS SAFETY DEFECT WITHOUT A $105 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I HAVE CALLED HONDA INC. TO REPORT THE INCIDENT, THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND WILL NOT INSPECT MY VEHICLE. *JS

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA HYBRID, I HAVE HAD 3 IMA BATTERIES REPLACED. THE LAST ONE THEY REPLACED CAME WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT HAS REDUCED MY MPG FROM OVER 40MPG TO 30MPG AND LESS POWER. I BELIEVE THIS IS IN VIOLATION OF STATED WINDOW STICKER MILEAGE CLAIMS, LEMON LAWS AND POSSIBLY AIR QUALITY LAWS, NOT TO MENTION THE LOSS OF POWER DANGERS. *TR

THE STANDARD SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DEFECTIVE. IT DIDN'T STAY UP PROPERLY STARTING RELATIVELY SOON AFTER PURCHASE, THEN SPLIT AND HAD TO BE REMOVED. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME DEFECT AS OTHER OWNER'S HAVE DESCRIBED IN THEIR CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR 2006-2009 MODEL YEARS. *TR

I WENT FOR MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY BRAKES NEED REPLACEMENTS. BRAKES WORN OUT AT VERY LOW MILEAGE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR NO LONGER COMPLETELY RETRACTS. IT HAS SPLIT OPEN AT THE JOINT AND IS CONSTANTLY FALLING IN THE WAY OF MY VISION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ANNOYANCE. I KNOW THAT PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE CIVIC HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND I DON'T THINK HONDA DID ANYTHING TO FIX THE (WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY) A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL AND HEARD THE FIRST DREADFUL, SQUEALING ALERT OF MY WEARING BRAKE PADS. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND ASKED WHAT MIGHT BE GOING ON AS I WAS A FIRST TIME VEHICLE OWNER. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE PADS WERE SURLY WORN OUT AND BLAMED ME THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING HABITS, OR I WAS RACING. AT THIS POINT I BEGAN TO LAUGH IN DISBELIEF. THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN SO THEY CAN INSPECT THE PADS. I WENT IN AND WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR THEY TOLD ME MY BRAKES HAD BEEN CHANGED AND I WOULD NOT BE PAYING ANYTHING SINCE THEY WERE CHANGED UNDER WARRANTY. NOT TOO LONG AFTER, THE SAME SQUEALING NOISE BEGAN AND THIS TIME AROUND I KNEW THE DRILL. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES MANY TIMES, ABOUT 5 TO BE EXACT, AND ONLY AT 60K MILES. NOT TO MENTION, IM BEGINNING TO WORRY A BIT BECAUSE MY BRAKES SINCE THE RECENTLY LAST TIME I CHANGED MY PADS, THE RESPONSE IN BRAKING HAS BEEN VERY BAD. I DO FEAR FOR MY SAFETY SOMETIMES. ESPECIALLY FOR MY SIBLINGS' SAFETY WHEN I RIDE THEM TO SCHOOL. PLEASE HELP THE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS THAT ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS I AM. *TR

CUSTOMER STATED SQUEEL NOISE HEARD FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA, BEST HEARD WHEN SWERVING BACK AND FORTH VERIFIED BY HONDA TECHNICIAN ON ROAD TEST. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS, RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS & LUBED CALIPER SLIDE PINS FOR A TOTAL OF OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $261.48. SECOND INCIDENT, AGAIN THE METALLIC GRINDING SOUND HEARD FROM THE FRONT END AT 19,344 MILES ON 6/9/12. TECHNICIAN FOUND FRONT BRAKES PADS WORN OUT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AT ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $265.32. THIRD INCIDENT, AGAIN THE METALLIC GRINDING SOUND HEARD FROM THE FRONT END AT 30,906 MILES ON 8/10/13. TECHNICIAN FOUND FRONT BRAKES PADS WORN OUT. HONDA DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AT ANOTHER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $528.25! PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT SINCE PURCHASE THE CIVIC HAS UNDERGONE 3 TIMES REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR RESURFACING, I.E., AN AVERAGE YEARLY OCCURENCE WHICH CUSTOMER THINKS IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THE LAST SERVICE HAVING THE MOST EXHORBITANT CHARGE FOR THE SAME SERVICE. *TR

THE BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. I NOTICED A PROBLEM, AND BROUGHT IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOT ONLY THAT I NEED NEW PADS BUT I NEED NEW ROTORS AS WELL. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THESE COMPONENTS WORE OUT THIS FAST, ESPECIALLY THE ROTORS. *TR

CAR BRAKES MAKES SQUEALING NOISE WHEN BRAKES APPLIED.CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I REMOVED BOTH FRONT WHEELS AND DISCOVER BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE WORN TO THE METAL NOW BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT,I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND OWNED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT CARS OVER THE YEARS,THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT WEAR OUT BRAKES THIS FAST,MOST OF THE CARS I HAVE OWNED LASTED A MINIMUM OF 45,000 MILES SOME LASTED TO ABOUT 90,000 MILES,BY THE WAY I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLES IN FACT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I DRIVE LIKE A OLD LADY. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY SAFETY RECALL,SOME PEOPLE WITH NO MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE MIGHT CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS CAR AND GET THEMSELVES INTO A HORRIBLE SITUATION SOONER OR LATER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, SHE HEARD THE BRAKES SQUEAL AS SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I NOTICED WHEN PARALLEL PARKING THAT WHEN I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD MAKE A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS FRONT. I DROVE AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND THE NOISE GOT WORSE AND STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I WAS TURNING MY WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, AND IF I WENT OVER ANY BUMPS. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED MY STRUT TOP REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR (I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS PRIOR)... WELL, THEY FIXED THE PART AND I TOOK MY CAR HOME AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE PIECE WENT BAD AGAIN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE VISOR SPLIT/CRACKED OPEN, AND NOW IT WILL NOT STAY IN POSITION. SO, THE VISOR IS PERMANENTLY DOWN, AND THEREFORE, DECREASING VISIBILITY. *TR

EXPERIENCED LOUD, GRINDING, NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHILE DRIVING- (NOISE-NOT CONSISTENT). TOOK CIVIC TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSTIC CAME OUT TO BE: BAD BRAKES!! THIS WAS A HUGE SHOCK AND PRICEY SURPRISE!! NOT ONLY DID THE BRAKES WEAR OUT PREMATURELY (IN MINE AND OTHERS OPINIONS) BUT THE DEALER HAD THE AUDACITY TO OVERCHARGE ME. EMBARRASSED TO SAY I PAID: THERE SPECIAL $210. AS AN NAVE 1ST TIME BUYER, I OVERPAID. THE DEALERSHIP TECH WOMAN RIPPED ME OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I THOUGHT HONDAS ARE RELIABLE AND ECONOMICALLY INEXPENSIVE TO REPAIR VEHICLES. *TR

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE (3) FRONT END COLLISIONS ON THIS VEHICLE. 2 WERE DEER RELATED. THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS A DEER HIT, AT 60 MPH., BODY SHOP SAID BECAUSE THE DEER HIT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SECOND ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING 69 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. SHE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET DOWN A DITCH AND BACK UP THE OTHER SIDE, STRIKING AN EMBANKMENT, COMING TO REST 2 FEET FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE VIRGINIA STATE POLICE OFFICER SAID AT THE TIME, HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DISENGAGED FROM THE CAR. THE LAST ACCIDENT, JUNE 2013, YOUNGER DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR ACCIDENT. SHE REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF HER WHO HAD REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF IT. WET ROADS WERE A FACTOR, HOWEVER, THIS WAS AGAIN A FRONT END COLLISION, WITH A SPEED OF 40+ MPH. WHILE WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED IN ANY OF THESE ACCIDENTS, IT'S CERTAIN THE AIRBAG IN THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

WHILE COMING AROUND A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH THE CAR STARTING TO DRIFT AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN BACK THERE WAS A TON OF STEERING RESISTANCE AND IT SORT OF LOCKED UP. AFTER BRUSHING THE WALL I FINALLY YANKED THE WHEEL ENOUGH FOR IT TO TURN AND CRASHED AGAINST THE OPPOSITE SIDE WALL HEAD ON. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND ALL OF THIS WAS AFTER LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER MY PURCHASE OF THE CERTIFIED PREOWNED HONDA. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AT THE HINGE, THIS BLOCKS THE VIEW. HAVE TO HOLD IT UP IN ORDER TO SEE THE LIGHTS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT SPEED OF ~72, WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND DID NOT MOVE. CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE. HAD TO HIT BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY WORKED. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

FRONT BRAKES AT 3MM AFTER 17,000 MILES. STRONGLY RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE, A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND CONSUMERS PAYING OUT OF POCKET. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE, FALLING INTO THE FIELD OF VIEW FOR THE DRIVER. THE VISOR FAILED TO REMAIN IN THE RETRACTED (UP) POSITION, AND WOULD FALL BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION BY RESTRICTING THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR

RAPID WEAR ON MY REAR TIRES, SECOND TIME REPLACING THEM IN 9 MONTHS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR HONDA! *TR

THE VISOR HAS SPLIT APART AND WON'T STAY UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. *TR

I KEPT HEARING SQUEELING NOISE ON MY BRAKES SO AFTER TAKING IT IN TO HONDA THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 8000 MI ON IT AT AROUND 18000 IS WHEN I KEPT HEARING NOISES THEN WENT AWAY. NOW AT 22000 MI I BROUGHT IT INTO HONDA TO CHECK IT OUT AS OTHER PLACES SAID BRAKES WERE FINE. (MAYBE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE AS THEY KNEW IT WAS A HONDA ISSUE?) I THINK THIS IS PREMATURE WEARING OUT OF MY BRAKES AS BRAKES SHOULD LAST APPROX. 30000 MI NOT ONLY 10000-11000 MILES. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I PAID FOR NEW BRAKES AND KEPT THE OLD PARTS. I'VE READ HONDA HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON EARLIER MODELS AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED TO MY YEAR HONDA CIVIC 2010. *TR

BOUGHT CAR WITH 63835 MILES AND AT 65000 MILES CAR NEEDED BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTOR REPLACE CAUSE OF BAD WEAR , THEY WERE REPLACE AND NOW AT 73000 MILES I NEED BRAKE PADS AGAIN , BRAKES ON THESE CAR IS THE WORST EVER. *TR
