2013 Honda Civic complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2013 CIVIC COUPE, AND HAVE LOVED IT SINCE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE PAST MONTH, CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT HAS COME ON, FIRST TIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD AND STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT CONTINUED TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING, AND EVENTUALLY STARTED COMING ON WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR, STATIONARY. IT DOES NOT COME ON EVERY SINGLE TIME, BUT COMES ON VERY VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THE PROBLEM. I CALLED TO SEE HOW MUCH HONDA WOULD CHARGE TO FIX IT, AND THEY SAID $140 JUST TO DIAGNOSE, AND MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE PARTS COSTING UP TO $1300 TO REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO PAY THIS AMOUNT FOR A CAR AND A COMPANY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE AND TRUSTED BRANDS ON THE MARKET. THE REASON I CHOSE A HONDA CIVIC WAS BECAUSE OF THE LOW RATE OF PROBLEMS, AND THIS IS THE HUGEST PROBLEM THAT CAN OCCUR, A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, VERY DISAPPOINTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF PEOPLE GETTING IN CRASHES AND THE AIRBAG NOT GOING OFF, HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND LIFE THREATENING, EVEN IF THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RED FLAG TO ANYONE WHO OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC IF THE LIGHT HAS COME ON OR NOT!! ATLEAST 4 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA AND 2013 KIA FORTE TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEMS REPORTED EARLIER THIS WEEK. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IMMEDIATELY BY HONDA AND NHTSA AND LOOKED INTO ASAP. P

TACATA RECALL I PURCHASED THE 1ST AND PROBABLY ONLY NEW CAR THAT I WILL EVER OWN. I WENT WITH HONDA BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD BE VERY RELIABLE. IMAGINE MY DISMAY WHEN I.GET NOTICE RE:AUTO AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. I AM NOW SCARED TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDSON. I AM SCARED FOR MY OWN SAFETY. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I AM NOW STUCK WITH MY DEFECTIVE AUTO, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. NO COMFORT IN TAKING MY FAMILY ANYWHERE.

GOT NOTICE FROM AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT FOR AIR BAG DEFENSE DEFECTIVE ISSUE . I FURTHER VERIFIED MY HONDA CIVIC 2013 AND FOUND ELIGIBLE FOR SETTLEMENT .

THE OVERHEAD MATERIAL ON THE CEILING IS COMING DOWN AFTER ONLY 4.5 YEARS, AT THE BACK WINDOW AREA,

'TAKATA RECALL' I RECEIVED A LETTER BY MAIL SAYING THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE 'CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM' WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY IN MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG OR GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE PROVIDED, ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER BUT IT SAID MY CAR WAS NOT EFFECTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2013 CIVIC MODEL FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS!! SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF IT!!

ABS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, & POWER STEERING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME AND CAN NOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE'S TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SYSTEMS ARE NOT ENGAGED WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE PRESENT, THUS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THESE LIGHTS FIRST APPEARED WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON DRY/SUNNY DAY. THESE LIGHTS HAVE REMAINED ON SINCE, AND WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER ECU RESET.

THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER A SHORT 12 MILE TRIP . AFTER THE CAR BATTERY WAS JUMPED I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED AND ACCORDING TO THEM THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE BATTERY TEST FIND AS DID ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.THAT INCIDENT WAS MY FIRST ON ---12/09/2017------ TODAY 2/8/2018 WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND AGAIN IT TESTED FIND AFTER A JUMP. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE I CAN NOT COUNT THIS CAR AS RELIABLE IF IT IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED! THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE UNIVERSITY PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE WAS OFF. BUT WHEN I GOT READY TO GO NOTHING, NO START. WE HAD TO CALL THE CAMPUS POLICE FOR HELP WITH A BOOST.

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS GONE OUT. I HAD SEEN A SENSOR GO OFF ABOUT IT AND I HAD GOTTEN A NOTICE FROM YOU ABOUT A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $1022.55. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE SENSOR WENT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL. THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER, IT SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, MY CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WHICH MAKES ME THINK THERE IS A DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. MISTLIN HONDA IN MODESTO, CALIFORNIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL HIS INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT WITH NO KNOWN ISSUE(S).

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON, A SIGN OF "CHECK AIRBAG" SHOWS UP.

AIRBAG SYSTEM FAILURE - A "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" WARNING ALERT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FINALLY TOOK MY CAR INTO MY HONDA DEALER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT A "DRIVER SIDE DOOR AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED" AND TOLD ME IT CAN BE FIXED FOR $310.00 PLUS LABOR!!!

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD STARTING PEELING OFF DRASTICALLY. HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS MAKE AND MODEL FOR SOME COLORS BUT ORR HONDA TEXARKANA REFUSED TO LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A CITY STREET IN BOCA RATON, FL AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR HAD DEPLOYED. MY 15 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A TURN LANE TO CHECK MY SON FOR INJURIES AND ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE WAS NO KNOWN CAUSE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A CARD IN MAIL SAYINGTHAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS CARD ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF MY HONDA CIVIC WAS PART OF THIS SETTLEMENT. AND WHETHER I SHOULD GO TO THE HONDA DEALER TO CHECK IF I NEEDED MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. WHEN I WENT TO THIS WEBSITE IT DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. IT DIDN'T TELL ME IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE SETTLEMENT OR IF I NEEDED TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. THIS WEBSITE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE INFORMING ME IF I NEED TO FIX IT O WHAT I NEED TO DO. I TOOK MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC TO MY DEALER AND HE SAID IS NOT NECESSARY TO CHECK IT OR REPAIR IT. I REALLY APRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL - PRECAUTIONARY FILING ONLY

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND U-TURN IN THE CITY ON MAIN STREET WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN MY DASH LIGHTS TURNED OFF MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR TURNED OFF. LUCKY THERE WAS NOBODY COMING THE OTHER WAY BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ONCE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PARK TO CHECK THE CAR, ANY SLIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE MY HEADLIGHTS ALMOST TURN OFF BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE IT WAS DRAWING A LOT OF EXTRA POWER FOR SOME REASON TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON WITH NO PROBLEM. I WENT TO A PARKING LOT TO SEE IF I COULD RE-CREATE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I COULD NOT. I WENT HOME AND READ A BUNCH OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NOBODY HAVING A SOLUTION. SO I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WILL GET THE SAME ANSWER. WHICH IS WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG AND WE CANNOT RE-CREATE THE SITUATION.

ALOHA, BOUGHT THIS HONDA CIVIC, HYBRID IN 2013 BRAND NEW AND LOVE IT OVERALL. HAD AN ISSUE WHEN ADJUSTING THE INSIDE MIRROR THAT IT ACTUALLY CAME OFF IN MY HAND WHILE I WAS DRYING ! ..... I DIDN'T FEEL THAT I WAS THAT FORCEFUL IN ADJUSTING THE MIRROR SO WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE IT POP OFF LIKE THAT, AND ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN DOING SO. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WAS ABLE TO POP THE BALL JOINT THINGY BACK INTO PLACE. HMM...... I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THAT BEFORE !! ....... VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WE HAD CALLED THE MAIN HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAINLAND, REPORTED IT, AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER ON IT, AS WELL AS TAKING THE CAR TO THE HILO, HAWAII HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND REPORTING THE ISSUE ! THANKS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A CARD IN SNAIL MAIL THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS CARD ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF MY HONDA CIVIC WAS PART OF THIS SETTLEMENT. AND WHETHER I SHOULD GO TO THE HONDA DEALER TO CHECK IF I NEEDED MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. WHEN I WENT TO THIS WEBSITE IT DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. IT DIDN'T TELL ME IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE SETTLEMENT OR IF I NEEDED TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. THIS WEBSITE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE INFORMING ME IF I NEED TO TAKE MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC TO MY DEALER AND HAVE THIS REPAIRED?

MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP, I️ CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS LOCKED A FEEL A SMALL TUG ON THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY

FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS

LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 14,000 MILES. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 53,000 MILES. FAILURES WERE DETERMINED WHILE TRAVEL AT SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 70 MPH AND TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY THE VSA WARMING LIGHT HAS COME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WARNING LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR MY CIVIC FOR ANY INFORMATION. IT SUGGESTED THAT I WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE RESTART THE CAR. I WAITED FOR 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED MY CAR. BOTH LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE LOCAL CARMAX DEALER, WHERE I'D PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE SERVICE CENTER COULD NOT LOOK AT MY CAR THEN, BUT THE TECHNICIAN SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME FOR THE NEXT MONDAY AND REASSURED ME THAT I WOULD "PROBABLY" BE FINE UNTIL THEN. WHEN THAT DAY CAME I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKED AT BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER, AUTONATION HONDA, BUT THAT CARMAX WOULD COVER THE COST BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THEIR LIMITED WARRANTY. DAYS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTONATION AND THEY UPDATED THE VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE FOR THE VSA. TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2017, I WAS DRIVING TO VISIT FAMILY WHEN THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WARNING LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN, I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR 10 MINUTES. DURING THAT TIME I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR BOTH MY CARMAX AND AUTONATION CONTACTS AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, BOTH LIGHTS WERE OFF. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND

IT WAS FINE WHEN I PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT THE NEXT MORNING NONE OF THE FOLLOWING WERE WORKING AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG (THEY WANT TO TRY REPLACING WHOLE CONSOLE FOR $700 AND IF/WHEN THAT DOESN'T WORK TRY REPLACING SOMETHING ELSE FOR $$$): - DASH (AND GEAR SHIFT, ETC.) DOESN'T LIGHT UP WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT - WINDSHIELD DEFOGGERS - SPEEDOMETER (READS "0" WHETHER IN MOTION OR STOPPED) - ODOMETER - WARNING INDICATORS (OVERHEAT, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. EXCEPT "BRAKE" WHICH STILL WORKS, AND THE LITTLE GAS ICON ON THE LEFT CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS WHETHER FULL TANK OR NOT) - GAS GAUGE - GAS MILEAGE - TACHOMETER (A PHYSICAL METER) - AIR CONDITIONER - OIL LIFE LEFT - CRUISE CONTROL - "ECON" MODE BUTTON DOESN'T WORK - NOT SURE IF AIR BAGS WORK - I MAY FIND OUT SOMEDAY - RADIO WORKS/DISPLAYS FINE I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS SOMETIME IN AUGUST 2017.

THE AIR CONDITIONER MOTOR AND RESISTOR IN MY CAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES NOW. EVERY FOUR MONTHS, THE AIR CONDITIONER MAKES SOUNDS, FLUCTUATES IN POWER, AND THEN FINALLY STOPS WORKING ALTOGTHER. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STILL WORK, BUT THE AIR STOPS BLOWING. ONCE MOTOR AND RESISTOR ARE REPLACED, IT WORKS FINE AGAIN - BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS. ALL NEW PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED DIRECTLY THROUGH HONDA. THE DEFROSTER AND HEAT WILL NOT WORK EITHER WHEN THIS PART GOES BAD, WHICH IS DANGEROUS IF DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR IN THE COLD.

CV JOINT NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT - A CLICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHICH MATCHES THE SPEED OF THE WHEELS. THIS CAR IS FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS 12000 MILES ON IT.

ON 7/18/17, AT AROUND 8PM ON HIGHWAY 280 SB BY LAWRENCE EXPWY IN SANTA CLARA, CA, I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I HEARD A HUGE BANG. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO REALIZE MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO ROCK OR ANY OTHER PIECE OF MATERIAL IN SIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT THE GLASS EXPLODED BECAUSE OF THE HEAT SINCE IT HAS BEEN HOT AND I RARELY OPEN MY MOONROOF. HAD MY MOONROOF BEEN OPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY GLASS AND INJURED, POSSIBLY CRASHED. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE HOLE IS QUITE BIG, ABOUT 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER, AND THE WHOLE SECTION SEEMS TO BE INCLINED UPWARDS, MAKING ME BELIEVE THAT IT EXPLODED ON IT'S OWN FROM HEAT PRESSURE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE CAR AUTO-ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT NOR THE HAND-BRAKE. IT ONLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT AGAINST ANOTHER CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS A CERTIFIED HONDA VEHICLE.

DRIVING SOUTH THROUGH SALT LAKE CITY FREEWAY, THE CAB FILLED WITH NOXIOUS RAW GAS FUMES, NO WARNING LAMPS ON THE DASH. PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND INSPECTED ENGINE, TRUNK, INTERIOR AND UNDER THE CAR FOR A GAS LEAK AND FOUND NOTHING. CONTINUED ON OUR WAY AND RETURNED TO CALIFORNIA, HEADING FOR 29 PALMS VIA KELSO, CALIF. WHEN WE GOT FUMES AGAIN ONLY HEAVIER, COMBINED WITH TIGHTEN FUEL CAP WARNING SCREEN ON DASH. AGAIN INSPECTED CAR, REINSTALLED FUEL CAP SEVERAL TIMES. NO LEAKS DETECTED, AIRED OUT CAR AND GOT THE SAME CONDITION EVERY TIME WE GAINED SIGNIFICANT ALTITUDE. THE NEXT DAY WE REPLACED THE FUEL CAP AND SO FAR NO FLAMMABLE FUMES. THANK GOD NEITHER OF US SMOKE.

RODENTS ATE THROUGH WIRING BETWEEN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. DETERMINED THAT HONDA CHANGED TO SOY BASED MATERIAL TO COAT WIRING ON ALL 2012-2015 CIVIC MODELS. THE SOY BASED FORMULA BECOMES HEATED AND ATTRACTS THE RODENTS WHEN PARKED. THE PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE AND DANGEROUS SINCE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND HARNESSES TO ALL MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS ARE AFFECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TOOK THREE TO FOUR SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND THEN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. UPDATED 07/13/17*LJ *AS

I HAVE A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. I BOUGHT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM BROADWAY HONDA, GREENVILLE, SC. IT WENT WELL FOR A YEAR THOUGHT THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY WITH ZERO PROBLEMS. BUT ONCE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER PROBLEMS STARTED TO SHOW UP EVERY OTHER MONTH. DURING THE HARSH WINTER OF MARCH ONE DAY THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AT A WALMART PARKING. I CALLED MY FRIEND AND JUMP STARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THE BATTERY IS ONLY 30%. IN 4 YEARS WITH 53K MILES THE BATTERY WENT BAD AND I REPLACED IT. AND DID A OIL CHANGE AND NYS INSPECTION. 15 DAYS WENT WELL. SUDDENLY ONE DAY MY AIR BAG INDICATOR STARTED TO BLINK WITH A MESSAGE "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM" ON THE SCREEN. I TOOK IT TO A FRIEND'S GARAGE AND HE SUSPECTED IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR THAT HAS AN ERROR. VERY TROUBLED I WENT TO HONDA SERVICE AGAIN. THEY CHARGED $130 JUST FOR SCANNING AND DIAGNOSTICS. THEY CAME BACK SAID THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WENT BAD. I ASKED THEM HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE A SENSOR GO BAD. BELIEVE ME I ONLY USE MY CAR TO GO TO OFFICE AND ERRANDS. MY WIFE SITS AT THE BACK WITH MY BABY(INFANT). VERY RARELY THE SEAT IS USED. I ASKED THEM HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST AND THEY SAID IT WILL COST ANOTHER $880 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I ALSO WANT HONDA TO KNOW THE PROBLEM AS ONE CAN'T PAY SO MUCH TO REPLACE ONE SENSOR.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 55 IN SOUTH JERSEY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX. 55 MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ENGINE POWER WAS DIMINISHED. WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GET OFF NEARBY EXIT AND DRIVE TO PARKING LOT. VEHICLE ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT UP EXIT RAMP. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS #2 CYLINDER HAD FAILED. CAR ONLY HAD JUST OVER 63,000 MILES ON IT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HONDA EVENTUALLY COVERED 50% ($2,545.30). CAR WAS GARAGED KEPT AND ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH DANGEROUS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE IT ON RECORD IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES WHICH MAY INDICATE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT OCCURRED ON A WELL-MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT CAR AT ONLY 63,000 MILES. I HAVE UPLOADED A COPY OF THE REPAIR ORDER INDICATING WHAT COMPONENTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY KEPT FLASHING TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT FELT AS IF THEY MISDIAGNOSED PROVIDING A SOLUTION AND REQUIRED THAT BRAKE REPAIRS BE COMPLETED BEFORE SERVICING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE FIRST REPAIR FROM THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR. THE DEALER CLEANED THE REAR BRAKES AND ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES DURING THE FIRST REPAIR. DURING THE SECOND REPAIR, THE DEALER REPLACED AND RESURFACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE BRAKE FLUID EXCHANGE WAS SERVICED AS WELL. TWO DAYS AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE SERVICE AIR BAGS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE A THIRD TIME AND INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP, BUT THE CONTACT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BACK AND NECK PAIN. NO WAY TO ADJUST THE SEAT OF RESTRAINTS ENOUGH TO ALLEVIATE THE DISCOMFORT.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. NO AIRBAG HAS BEEN SCHEDULED AND HONDA IS NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS! WHY?

THE PAINT ON MY VEHICAL IS BEEN PEELING SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR. ITS SMALL AMOUNTS AROUND THE CAR THAT NOTICEABLE. ON THE ROOF,SIDE DOORS,AND TRUCK

CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. DEALERSHIP TECH UNABLE TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY EXACT PROBLEM OR COMPONENT UNLESS ALARM STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THEY COULD ONLY PROVIDE BEST EDUCATED GUESS. THEY SUSPECT CABLE REEL IS BAD. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, AIR BAGS APPARENTLY WILL NOT WORK. UNACCEPTABLE. HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED 3 OTHER CIVIC 'S, NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A BETTER WAY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE SYSTEM TO DEFINITIVELY IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC DEFECTIVE COMPONENT IN THE SYSTEM. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON CONSTANTLY YESTERDAY AFTER APPROX. A MONTH, BUT RESIDENCE IS 400 MILES FROM PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT SO IT WILL BE A COUPLE DAYS TO GET VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TO EFFECT REPAIRS. IF THE GOVERNMENT IS REQUIRING THESE SYSTEMS FOR SAFETY, THEN AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THEY SHOULD NEVER FAIL. PERIOD. ANY DEFECT OR PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT ZERO EXPENSE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I DEFINITELY DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT, AND HOPE I DON'T GET INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS SYSTEM NOT WORKING. JUST WANTED TO INFORM IN CASE OTHERS MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF LEAKED CONTINUOUSLY ONTO THE REAR SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE CLEANED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRAINAGE TO THE SUN ROOF WAS MISALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,213.
