2013 Honda Civic complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR CABLE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,500.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT WOULD GENERALLY GO OFF AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. I BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THROWING THE CODE DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE???? FAST FORWARD TO 12 MONTHS LATER AND THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF ABOUT 10+ TIMES PER DAY. SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THAT THERE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL.

IMA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP WHILE ON HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO DEALERHIP WITH FLASHING HAZZARD LIGHTS GOING 20 MPH. HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND SAYS CODE POAE1. TROUBLEHOT CODE AND TELLING ME NOT IMA BATTERY PROBLEM THAT WOUDL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANYT, BUT MOTHERBOARD PROBLEM WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MOTHERBOARD PART IS BACKORDERED AND MAY TAKE MONTHS. I ASKED FOR DOCUMENTATION THAT IT IS NOT A COVERED UNDER ELECTRICAL WARRANTY BECAUSE IMA AND THEY SAY NO. SAYS THEY WILL GIVE ME PAPERWORK AFTER IF IS FIXED. $2000

TAKATA RECALL!!?! AIRBAG INDICATOR ISSUES STARTING AT 45 MI. CHECK AIRBAG WARNING IS NOW ON ALWAYS. IT'S TAKEN OVER MY LCD DISPLAY SCREEN COMPLETELY MAKING IT USELESS I.E. MAINTENANCE INFO, MILEAGE, HANDSFREE EQUIP. OPTIONS. EVERYTHING (ASIDE FROM BACK UP CAMERA, STILL FUNCTIONING WHILE IN REVERSE) AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR HAS DISABLE ALL COMPONENTS ON STEERING WHEEL I.E. HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, VOLUME ECT.. STILL NO RECALL? I'M SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY! DO SOMETHING HONDA. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE HONDA ADDRESS THESE ISSUES ASAP!

CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. STAYED ON FOR MAJORITY OF TIME. DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND CODE B0001-13 REPLACE CABLE REEL. NOTES IN REPAIR SHOWED "INCREASED TENSION IN REEL" REEL WAS REPLACED CAR WAS RETURNED WITHOUT WORKING HORN OR CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL WORKING. LATTER MAY BE TECHNICIAN FAULT.

THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK ON THE 2013 HONDA CIVIC. ~ 33000 MILES ARE ON THE HONDA CIVIC. MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES OF IGNITION COULD CAUSE A FIRE, OR POTENTIALLY AN EXPLOSION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DETERMINED THERE WAS A LEAK. CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER: CURRY HONDA, CHAMBLEE, GA 30341

VEHICLE HESITATES UNDER ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES ALMOST STALLING. I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MY SON AT TIMES. MERGING ETC. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE COME UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ECON MODE. I DROVE THE CAR WITH IT OFF AND STILL DOES IT AT TIMES. VERY CONCERNED. I AM TAKING IT IN TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. NOT GOOD!

I HAD A TOTAL HUB FAILURE. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 9MPH IN A PARKING LOT MAKING A SLIGHT TURN WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAD TO HAVE THE MECHANIC REPLACE THE KNUCKLE, HUB, BEARING, CALIPER AND BRACKET ALONG WITH ABS SENSOR. IF I WOULD'VE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IT WOULD'VE BEEN REALLY BAD. THE CAR HAS 95K MILES AND MAINTENANCES REGULARLY.

TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT ON. TIRES INFLATED AT THE PROPER PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL CONTINUALLY COMING ON EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR OR INDICATOR SIGNAL. NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW IT.

MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBER CAN BE DISREGARDED: 10864804 THE PROBLEM IN THE 2013 CIVIC TURNED OUT TO BE THE WHEEL BEARING AND NOT THE TRANSMISSION AS I FIRST THOUGHT.

MILEAGE CONSISTENTLY 20.8, FAR LOW THAN REPRESENTED WITH CONSERVATIVE DRIVING. DEALER TEST DRIVE 50 MPG. OTHER DEALER REPRESENTS ALL TEST DRIVES COME BACK 50 MPG. ALLEGING FRAUD BY HONDA ON TEST DRIVES (MAYBE SIMILAR TO VW EXHAUST TESTING). CALLED HONDA HQ, ONLY TOLD THEY WILL DOCUMENT COMPLAINT, BUT HAD TO INSIST TO GIVE VIN AGAIN AS CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON CLAIMED ACCIDENTALLY DELETED WHEN I ASKED IF HE COULD ID WHO MAKE THE COMPLAINT. MY PREVIOUS HONDA, ACCORD V6 GOT BETTER MILEAGE. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW APRIL 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS INCORRECTLY REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER CHECK UP. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SOME RUSTING ON THE SUN ROOF, BUT DID NOT NOTIFY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT ON. TIRES INFLATED AT THE PROPER PRESSURE. I HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 HONDA CIVIC, DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $112 PER TIRE TO CORRECT IT. THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW IT. OTHERWISE CAR DRIVES FINE, IT IS JUST ONE MORE GIMMICK AUTO MANUFACTURERS INJECT W/FEDERAL BLESSING TO RIP-OFF CONSUMERS.

CVT - ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION - MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME RECENTLY AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE CV TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS (SUCH AS 50MPH OR MORE, THE CAR SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN A LOWER GEAR). THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A LOWER GEAR WHEN IT DRIVES. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (AVENTURA HONDA IN FLORIDA) AND THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH JUST TO BE SAFE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I SAW THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2014 AND 2015 HONDA CIVIC MODELS. I CAN ONLY BEGIN TO WONDER IF THE 2013 MODEL ALSO HAS DEFECTS. I HAVE ABOUT 47,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE 2013 HONDA CIVIC MODEL FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS IN THE CVT. I SPENT $149 FOR A FLUSH THAT DID NOTING TO ALLEVIATE THE NOISY AND ROUGH TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR $65 WHILE I WAITED FOR THE SERVICE TO BE DONE.

MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC HESITATES WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR MERGE AT A FREEWAY ENTRY AND ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, COMPUTER CONTROL OR THE ENGINE OR CV TRANSMISSION MAY BE THE CAUSE. I SUSPECT THE COMPUTER CONTROL, AS THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH "ECO MODE". BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER "ECO MODE" IS ON OR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, BUT I WILL ONLY LIST THE MOST RECENT ISSUE BELOW.

ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD & HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR THE WINDOW ON DRIVERS SIDE ~ WOULDN'T ROLL UP. ALL THE PARTS WERE SOLD OUT AND HAD TO GET ONE FROM HONDA DEALER IN PHX. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS THE TECH LOOKED IT UP & FOUND NUMEROUS ISSUES. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR (ON A TIGHT BUDGET) BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED THERE WAS NO COMPENSATION FROM HONDA!

ALL 9TH GENERATION CIVICS ARE EQUIPED WITH STOCK UNDER POWERED HORNS. SAFTEY ISSUE, SINCE OTHER CARS WON'T HEAR IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. SOME DEALERS OFFER A HORN UPGRADE, BUT THE LABOR WOULD BE COSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BUMPER COVER HAS TO BE REMOVED AND RE INSTALLED.

DRIVER'S SEAT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. AFTER DRIVING ONLY A FEW MILES MY BACK AND LEGS BEGIN TO ACHE BECAUSE OF THE POOR SEAT CUSHION DESIGN, THE CONCAVE SEAT BACK WITHOUT ANY LUMBAR SUPPORT, AND THE FORWARD LEANING HEAD RESTRAINT THAT KEEPS ME FROM STRAIGHTENING MY BACK WHILE STILL MAINTAINING CONTACT WITH THE SEAT BACK. I'M TEMPTED TO REMOVE THE HEAD RESTRAINT TO REDUCE THE PAIN SOMEWHAT. NO MANUFACTURER OR DEALERSHIP REPAIRS HAVE BEEN REQUESTED BECAUSE HONDA APPARENTLY DOES NOT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU CAN HEAR FUEL SLOSHING AROUND IN FUEL TANK WHEN TANK IS FULL WHEN STOPPING, GOING FROM A STOP, GOING UP OR DOWN A DRIVEWAY VERY ANNOYING. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW

TAKATA RECALL, I NOTICED YESTERDAY WHEN ROLLING MY WINDOWS DOWN THAT MY BACK LEFT WINDOW WAS NOT ROLLING DOWN. WHEN I WAS PARKED I TRIED PUSHING THE BUTTON UP AND DOWN TO SEE IF IT WOULD ROLL DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T. IT MADE A SLIGHT CLICKING SOUND AND THAN STOPPED. TODAY, I CALLED GARY SMITH HONDA TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR INSIDE THE DOOR. I CALLED AUTO ZONE AND THEY LOOKED UP THE YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR TO FIND THE CORRECT PART AND THAN INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS SOLD OUT LOCALLY AND THE VENDOR ONLINE WAS ALSO SOLD OUT FOR THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR. WITH THAT SAID, THERE'S A STRONG INDICATION I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM. I FIND IT OUT OF THE USUAL FOR A WINDOW THAT IS RARELY IF EVER ROLLED DOWN TO HAVE A MOTOR GO OUT. THE OTHER WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN WITH NO PROBLEM.

HEADREST TO FAR FORWARD, CAUSING NECK PAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN UNKNOWN INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT BY AN INDEPENDENT TOWING COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TIRE SENSOR ALWAYS GOING OFF SERVICE CLAIMS NO PROBLEMS WITH TIRES AND NEXT DAY TIRE GOES FLAT HAPPENS OVER AND AGAIN, OWNER GETS TIRED OF GUESSING IF ITS LOW AIR OR A FLAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN DANGEROUS TO DRIVE NOT KNOWING SENSORS ARE NEVER RIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC SI. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION BROKE, THE DEALER REPAIRED IT, BUSTED OUT MY WINDSHIELD AND DENTED UP THE FENDERS, IT TOOK THEM A YEAR TO FIX EVERY THING. THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION BROKE IT IS THE SHIFT CABLE. THEY HAVE NOW SENT A HONDA CORPORATE INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE IF SOME HOW I CREATED THE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT AND I BABY THIS THING. I AM CONCERNED IF THE CABLE HAS SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING IT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WOULD I BE HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NOW. I MAY HAVE TO GET AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS TECHNICALLY A LEMON. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE, AND I REALLY WANT TO GET A BETTER CAR.

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT 10/24/15. THE FRONT OF THE HONDA CIVIC STRUCK THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE SEAT BELT SHIELD THEM IN BUT NO LONGER FUNCTION. I TOOK THE CAR INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LAKE WORTH, FL, A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS DEEMED TO BE NOT WORKING. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH THAT THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SEAT BELTS NEED TO REPLACED. I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 15' AFTER SEEING A CARFAX REPORT SAYING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE...UPDATED 11/04/15 *BF UPDATED 1/4/2015*JS

ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE PRESENTED THEMSELVES WHILE THE CAR WAS ON AND IN MOTION. DEAR HONDA: RECALL THE AIRBAGS ASAP!! #1 SIGN OF ISSUE @ 45 MILES: PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT/SENSOR WOULD BLINK ON-OFF INTERMITTENTLY (ALL THE TIME) ONLY WHILE DRIVING. BACK DRIVER WINDOW WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. #2 @ 15000 MILES: STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS INTERMITTENTLY WORKED BACKWARDS (VOLUME UP WOULD TURN DOWN & VICE VERSA.) IT WASN'T FREQUENTLY AND ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY. #3 @ 40000 MILES: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING "CHECK AIRBAGS" IT GOES OFF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT IS ON 90% OF THE TIME. (NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER WANTS $150 JUST TO LOOK. HAVING THE CAR LESS 2YRS. AND THE AIRBAG HAVING ISSUES SINCE 45 MILES AND NEVER BEING IN AN ACCIDENT, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AND CAN'T AFFORD ANYWAY. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. #3 @ 60000 MILES: MY CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON. #4 @ 64000 MILES: THE HORN DOES NOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME. ALL THESE ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2.5 YRS. THE CRUISE AND VOLUME CONTROLS NOT WORKING IS ANNOYING BUT THE HORN AND AIRBAG IS A HUGE RISKY ISSUES. I'M NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN. HONDA IS AWARE THERE IS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS IN THESE MODELS AND STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL? SHAME ON YOU HONDA! WHY WAIT? PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY AIRBAGS! HOW MANY BEFORE YOU MAKE IT RIGHT??!!

MY HAZARDS LIGHTS CUT OUT 10/10/15 WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE HAZARD LIGHTS WOULDN'T COME BACK ON AND LATER MY CAR WOULD NOT START. AAA SAID THE BATTERY, ALTRANATOR, & STARTER WERE FINE AND THAT SOMETHING WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR TODAY 10/11/15 AND IT WOULD NOT START. SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS DRAINING MY BATTERY.

I STARTED GETTING A NOTICE TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. I CHECKED IT AND THEN NEXT DAY MY CAR WAS PARKED ALL DAY, THE FOLLOWING DAY I WENT TO MY CAR TO DRIVE TO MY MOM'S 50 MILES AWAY, THE NOTICE TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON AGAIN, I STOPPED AND MY BACK PASSENGER TIRE WAS ALMOST FLAT. IT WAS SUNDAY AND THE ONLY PLACE OPEN WAS WALMART AUTOMOTIVE DEPT. THEY TOOK TIRE OFF TO FIX IT AND FOUND THAT TIRE'S SIDEWALL HAD BLOWN OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAIR THE TIRE. IT WAS A CONTINENTAL TIRE. I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BRAND TIRE AND I AM TAKING THE DAMAGED TIRE TO HONDA. I ONLY HAVE 24,000 MILES AND THE SIDE BLOWN OUT WAS THE SIDE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL. I ONLY DRIVE ON MAIN HIGHWAYS AND WOULD HAVE HAD A BLOW OUT HAD I NOT CHECKED IT OUT.

WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON STATE HIGHWAY. WAS CUTOFF BY LARGE PICK-UP TRUCK. SWERVED OFF THE ROAD HIT A METAL SIGN TOOK IT DOWN. CONTINUED TO DRIVE UNTIL I HIT A FIELD THE SPEED WAS TOO HIGH FOR ME TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS. MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY TO MY BACK. AN AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING AT THAT HIGH OF A SPEED CONCERNS ME. THEY REPAIRED THE CAR WHICH I AM REALLY NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING.

THE HEAD RESTRAINT AND SEAT ARE AWFUL. NECK IS SO FAR PUSHED FORWARD, IT GOES NUMB, GETS STIFF, TRAVELS TO THE REST OF BODY. GET INCREDIBLY DIZZY AFTER DRIVING. LEGS GET STIFF AND NUMB FROM NO LOWER LUMBAR SUPPORT. NEVER HAD ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO THIS ISSUE BEFORE PURCHASING CAR. I'M A TRAINER, LIVE A VERY ACTIVE LIFE. MY QUALITY OF LIFE HAS DECREASED DUE TO PAIN AND SUFFERING FROM THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE KEY WAS IN THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER ANOTHER ATTEMPT AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER THE SIDEWALK AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,447.

WTHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT INTERSECTION AND BEING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, I DRIVE TWO FOOTED, FOR QUICKER RESPONSE TIME. UPON STEPPING ON ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP SPEED. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, I AM TOLD IT IS A 2 FOOTED DRIVER ISSUE AND NOTHING THEY CAN BE DONE. I HAVE LEFT IT 24 HOURS AND BEEN TOLD, 'NO PROBLEM FOUND'. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HABITS TO ALLOW FOR IT. IT IS INTERMITTENT, AND IF IT IS A 2 FOOTED ISSUE, WHY INTERMITTENT? I HAVE NOT HAVE NOT CHANGED TO 1 FOOT DRIVING? SHOULD BE ALWAYS. I AM HIGHLY CONSIDERING GETTING A DIFFERENT BRAND VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS ONE.

I WAS DRIVING 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME AROUND A 30 MILE AN HOUR GRADUAL BEND. I SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER STEERING LOSING CONTROL MOMENTARILY ,I SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE JUST MISSING GOING INTO THE WOODS AND ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. THE CHECK POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE INFORMATION BOARD .THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE .MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR OFTEN AND I'M NOT TOO SURE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN AS GOOD AS MINE AND THIS TRULY SCARES ME.THIS IS MY 6TH HONDA ,I PURCHASE ALL MY CAR IS NEW, AND I'VE NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE!

WE WERE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY I HEARD THIS HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE TIRES. IT WILL SOUND VERY LOUD WHEN IT IS MOVING AND STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING BUT ENGINE STILL RUNNING. I FELT THE VEHICLE IS LOSING SPEED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM AUTOSPORT HONDA DEALER IN BRIDGEWATER NJ. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AFTER A YEAR THE STARTER UNIT OF THE ENGINE IS NOT WORKING. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW IS DEFECTIVE IT MOVE LIKE ZIGZAG WHEN IT MOVES UP AND DOWN. I BELIEVED THIS IS ALSO COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE: P205/55R16. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE CONTACT NOTICED UNEVEN MOVEMENT IN THE TIRES. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATING IN ALL THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM ALL FOUR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,469.

EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS FRONT SEATS. CAN NOT ADJUST SEATS TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. SITTING IN THEM FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES CAUSES SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN AND DISCOMFORT.

HAD TO HAVE REAR BRAKE ROTORS RESURFACED BECAUSE OF A LOUD NOISE DURING BRAKE APPLICATION. DEALER SAID RUST ON ROTORS CAUSED BY SITTING 2 WEEKS IN AN AIRPORT LONG TERM PARKING LOT. DEALER PERFORMED THE WORK AT NO CHARGE.

CAR WOULDN'T START UPON INSPECTION FUEL LINE WAS SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE. NOTICEABLE FUEL LEAKAGE & YOU CAN SMELL THE RUBBER HOSE BURNING.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVE AT ABOUT 5MPH..ON A LITTLE STREET IN SACRAMENTO... SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN...WHEN AN SUV DID SEE HER SINGLE AND ALCAM FROM BEHIND AND HIT HER GOING ABOUT 20MPH...THEY BOTH SPIN OUT OF CONTROL... THERE WERE NO INJURIES..BUT A WITNESS STATES THAT THEY SEEN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IN THE SAME INTERSECTION.. AND THAT ABOUT ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME ITS A ROLL OVER...DUE TO THE ANGLE ORLF THE ROAD AND SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLES...NOW AFTER THE HARD IMPACT SHE SPUN OF CONTROL CAME TO A STOP AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.. EVER...NOT ONE SINGLE LIGHT CAME ON...I'M JUST CONCERNED BECAUSE IF THE CAR WOULD HAVE ROLLED OVER AND NO AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED... THEN SHE MIGHT HAVE GOT INJURED REALLY BAD. IF THIS SITUATION IS RESOLVED I'M GOING TO REPLACE THE CIVIC FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT. *TR

OKAY SO I BOUGHT MY 2013/CIVIC WITH 4200 MIL ....AT 9000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE MY PADS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS...MECHANIC SAID IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING HABITS...NOW IT HAPPENS AGAIN AT 30K..THIS TIME HAD TO BUY NEW ROTORS AND PADS...MECHANIC SAID THE SAME DUE TO DRIVING HABITS..BUT NOW THAT I SEE OTHER STORIES I REALLY HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING IT WAS MY DRIVING THAT CAUSED IT...PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND THE AIR BAG SITUATION... THANKS *TR

STARTED VEHICLE AND NO RADIO STATION APPEAR ON LED COULD NOT CHANGE CHANNELS OR VOLUME. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES CHANNEL APPEARED AND I COULD CHANGE STATION AND VOLUME NOW. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. ALSO THE VOLUME CONTROL KNOB FLICKERS MOST OF THE TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

BEING MALE AND CAPABLE OF DRIVING STANDARD SHIFT, I DRIVE 2 FOOTED. THIS VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH DRIVE BY WIRE FEATURE. LEFT ON BRAKE,RIGHT ON ACCELERATOR. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR A SLOW TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE AS EXPECTED, IT SEEMS TO DELAY COMPETING THE TURN, AND EVEN DOES IT WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE FWY. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM FOR ONE WEEK AND HAVE THE MECHANIC DRIVE IT FOR ONE WEEK TO AND FROM WORK. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR A RENTAL DURING THE TIME. I WILL DO SO IF THERE IS NO TROUBLE FOUND BY THE REGION SERVICE MANAGER. BUT OTHERWISE I WOULD LIKE THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP THE RENTAL. I NOW HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 16 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD TO ADJUST MY DRIVING HABITS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. OTHER WISE I HAVE HAD GOOD SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 10, 300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

I AM WRITING TO EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT AN ISSUE I RECENTLY HAD WITH MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC AND TO SEE IF THE ISSUE I HAD IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS. ON 11 FEBRUARY, MY CAR HIT A CURB AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, UPON INSPECTING THE CAR, TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN, FORCING A REPAIR OF THE CONTROL ARM, STEERING KNUCKLE, FRONT WHEEL BEARING, AND FRONT DAMPER/STRUT. THE DAMAGE ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY THE CURB SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO THE LEVEL OF IMPACT. I AM AWARE OF PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH CONTROL ARMS IN HONDA CIVICS, WHICH IS THE REASON I AM ASKING IF SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE ARISEN IN MORE RECENT MODELS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS INCIDENT OR IF THIS IS PART OF A LARGER PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVICS FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX. THANK YOU. *TR

THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO CAUSE SEVER NECK PAIN/INJURY FOR ME. TO PROTECT FROM WHIP LASH THE DESIGN IS DONE IN WAY TO CAUSE INJURY TO NECK. THIS IS REALLY BAD, MANY ARE GOING TO END UP IN THERAPY OR ORTHOPEDICS DUE TO POOR DESIGN LIKE ME :-( *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2013 HONDA CIVIC HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. IT OCCURS MUCH MORE OFTEN IN 3RD GEAR AND HAPPENED TWICE JUST TODAY; IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS IN 1ST, 4TH, OR 5TH GEARS. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL SO, UNLESS THE CRUISE CONTROL IS KICKING IN ON ITS OWN SOMEHOW, THAT IS NOT THE CAUSE. WHEN THE CAR STARTS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, I AM UNABLE TO EASILY MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT FROM 2ND OR 3RD INTO NEUTRAL AND HAVE TO EITHER APPLY ALOT OF PRESSURE TO MOVE IT INTO NEUTRAL OR USE THE CLUTCH. BREAKING WILL SOMETIMES STOP THE ACCELERATION BUT NOT ALWAYS AND SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I USE THE BRAKE, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL CONTINUE ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED MOST OFTEN AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 35. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. *TR

WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD VARY WELL AT NIGHT HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH,ALSO THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR ARE HORRIBLE AND CHEAP THEY DID NOT LAST BARLEY 1 YEAR AND ARE NOT RATED FOR MILES. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD TIRES WILL HYDRO PLANE AND SLIP ALL OVER THE ROAD WITH SNOW THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ITEM AND HONDA SAID IT IS OUR PROBLEM NOT HONDAS @ 1-800 999-1009 FIRESTONE HAS BEEN MORE COOPERATIVE THAN HONDA I HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT BUY THE TIRES ON HONDA CIVIC .[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I JUST WANT IT ON THE RECORD THAT THE CAR RODE/ FELT SQUIRRELLY FROM THE GET-GO. I KEEP THINKING - EITHER SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG W/ THIS CAR, OR IT'S THE TIRES. SO, TO DO AN EXPENSIVE TEST, I SPENT THE 1100.00, YES, ONE THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON NEW TIRES AND WHEELS. I PURCHASED MICHELIN. AND YES - IT WAS A "NEW CAR". MY CAR DROVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN CONTINENTAL TIRES. THEIR PRODUCT, IN MY OPINION, IS HORRIBLE, BAR-NONE HORRIBLE! MY COMPLAINT IS STILL MY VISIBILITY ON THE FRONT - I DO NOT LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS HONDA CIVIC 2013 AT ALL - THE FRONT MIRRORS ARE PLACED TERRIBLE. THE ROUND BUBBLE OF THE WHOLE FRONT DESIGN IS SO HORRIBLE THAT I CANNOT WAIT TO PAY THIS CAR OFF AND GIVE IT AWAY TO MY FAMILY MEMBER. I CANNOT WAIT TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR - AND I KNOW I WILL NOT PURCHASE HONDA. *TR
