2013 Honda Civic complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,800.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2013 IN JULY 2014. THE CAR CAME WITH CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT TIRES SIZE 205/55 R16 89H. FROM THE BEGINNING THE TIRES CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF NOISE. ON SOME ROADS THE NOISE IS SO LOUD, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FAILURE TO HEAR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, WITH EVEN THE MILDEST ROAD DEFECT THERE IS RUMBLING AND OFTEN A LOUD BOOMING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO REPORT DEFECT AT 1066 MILES AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT I NEEDED FOUR NEW TIRES. MY MECHANIC ALSO ADVISED ME THESE TIRES ARE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO BELIEVE THAT BEING A SENIOR CITIZEN HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN HONDA'S EFFORT TO IGNORE ME. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO VENT MY CONCERNS AND ANGUISH. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP AND WAS REAR-ENDED BY A FORD F350 GOING 50-55 MPH. MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS NUMBER 2 IN A 7 CAR PILE UP. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY FACE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BACK OF MY HEAD HIT THE HEAD REST. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST, THE BACK, ABDOMEN AND SHOULDER PAINS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

DRIVING HOME UP 50 DEGREE HILL. APPROXIMATE SPEED 35 MPH. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR BECAUSE I LIKE TO COAST THE LAST 1/4 OF THE HILL FOR SAFETY, SLOWING DOWN FOR ANY POTENTIAL IDIOTS WHO MIGHT SAIL AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE FLAT CROSS STREET, CUTTING OFF THE PART OF THE STREET THAT, BY LAW, SHOULD BE LEFT CLEAR FOR THE CAR COMING UPHILL. IN A SPLIT SECOND, MY CAR ACCELERATES SUDDENLY, AS THOUGH I HAD STOMPED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN. NOW WHAT DO I DO? MY 2012 HONDA CIVIC HAD PREMATURE BRAKE FAILURE THAT IS NOW THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. DO I GET RID OF THIS "NEW" HONDA THAT TURNED ONE MID-OCTOBER??? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, GIVEN THE OTHER STORIES ABOUT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN NEW HONDAS. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES OCCASIONALLY ON START UP. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE AND REQUIRES PUSHING HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH RESULTS IN A VERY FAST TAKEOFF. IF YOU LEAVE AN EVEN PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL, THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE OFF, BUT THIS UNPREDICTABILITY CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO A STREAM OF MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR

FOR ANY SPEED ABOVE 25MPH THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY SPEED THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVE. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE ALMOST AROUND AUGUST 2014. ISSUE OCCURS WITH SETTING SPEED CONTROL. IN THIS MODEL, THE CUSTOMER CAN CHOOSE EITHER CHOOSE RES +, RES ??. I FOUND OUT IF I CHOOSE RES -, THE VEHICLE SETS THE SPEED CORRECTLY MOST OF THE TIME WITH +/-1 MILE WHICH IS OK. DURING THIS MODE, EACH TIME THE CUSTOMER PRESS ??-??, THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES BY ONE MILE WHICH IS AS DESIGNED. SOMETIMES, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED AT THE REQUESTED SET SPEED AND THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTINUE DECREASE WITHOUT LIMIT I FOUND OUT IF I CHOOSE RES +, THE VEHICLE SETS THE SPEED CORRECTLY MOST OF THE TIME WITH +/-1 MILE WHICH IS OK. DURING THIS MODE, EACH TIME THE CUSTOMER PRESS ??+??, THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES BY ONE MILE WHICH IS AS DESIGNED. SOMETIMES, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HOLD THE SPEED AT THE REQUESTED SET SPEED AND THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTINUE DECREASE WITHOUT LIMIT THE MAIN AND THE MOST SERIOUS ISSUE IS, IF THE CUSTOMER CHOOSE RES -, THEN APPLY/PRESS THE BRAKE THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL BE CANCELLED WHICH IS OK THEN IF THE CUSTOMER CHOOSE RES + AFTER THAT, THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTINUE RISING WITHOUT LIMIT. THIS COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER DID NOT PAY ATTENTIONS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

THE REGULATIONS ON SEAT HEAD RESTS HAVE TO BE CHANGED. I LIKE TO SIT WITH MY SEAT BACK UP WHICH FORCES THE HEAD REST INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD FORCING MY HEAD INTO A DOWNWARD POSITION. I ENDURED CONSTANT BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THE CAR. I ENDED UP SELLING MY CIVIC SI BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND BUYING AN OLDER VERSA. IF I HADN'T SOLD IT, I WOULD HAVE BENT THE ACTUAL BARS BACK PROBABLY AFFECTING THEIR STRENGTH. IN FACT, FOR A WHILE I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HEADREST TURNED AROUND JUST SO THE CAR WAS BEARABLE. *TR

A DOG RAN INTO THE STREET AND I HAD TO BRAKE HARD QUICKLY. THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND WERE VERY UNSTABLE CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID AND SWERVE. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR 15K SERVICING AND WAS TOLD BRAKES WERE SHOT, GOT NEW PADS AND ROTORS RESURFACED. THIS WAS TOO SOON, THE SERVICEMAN BLAMED MY DRIVING HABITS. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING NEAR 25K MILES AND BRAKES AGAIN HAD TO BE REPLACE AND ROTORS TURNED. THE SERVICE MAN AGAIN BLAMED MY DRIVING HABITS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 35 YEARS, 6 DIFFERENT CARS, THE SAME ROUTE FOR 17 YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO GET BRAKES REPLACED BEFORE 30K MILES AND CERTAINLY NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ROTORS SO SOON. *TR

WENT OUT TO START CAR, WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAGS WENT ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD WIRING HARNESS WAS EATEN THROUGH BY RODENTS. THEN WAS TOLD THERE IS SOY IN THE HARNESS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? COST $1400 TO FIX. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55-60 MPH. WANTED TO PRESS "HAZARD WARNING BUTTON" AND BY ACCIDENT PRESSED THE "ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON". BECAUSE "HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS" DID NOT START FLASHING I AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED THE "ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON" SECOND TIME - THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. SINCE ENGINE WAS OFF BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN ENGINE ON WHILE CAR WAS MOVING - AS YOU CAN DO IT ONLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ON "P" (PARKING) - AND YOU CANNOT SWITCH TRANSMISSION INTO "P" (MODE) WHEN CAR IS MOVING AT 60 MPG. BY LUCK I WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR OVER WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE I WAS STUPID AND THAT IS MY MISTAKE THAT BY ACCIDENT I PRESSED A WRONG BUTTON, HOWEVER, THERE SHOULD BE NO WAY THE ENGINE CAN GO OFF WHILE CAR IS MOVING UNDER ANY CONDITIONS AND ANY DRIVERS ACTIONS BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY MAY LEADS TO A CRASH WHICH COULD BE AVOID ONLY BY A LUCK. I CONSIDER IT IS AS EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND FIXED. *TR

FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRE FAILED DO TO MALFUNCTION IN TIRE SIDEWALL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS CONDITION OR RESULT OF ROAD HAZARD. CRACK OR DAMAGE IN TIRE SIDEWALL RESULTED IN COMPLETE DEFLATION IN MATTER OF SECONDS. CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE. *TR

ATTENTION TO ALL WHO READ & COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR 2013 HONDA CIVIC. GO TO YOUR INTERNET & SEARCH DRIVE BY WIRE. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHY OUR CAR DRIVES SO AWFUL AND YES, ACCIDENT PRONE. OUR VEHICLES - NEWS FLASH - ARE MANUFACTURED WITH THE NEW (WELL, AROUND 2003-ISH) (NOT REAL SURE NOW) DRIVE BY WIRE. MY OLD 1997 HONDA CIVIC WOULD DRIVE THIS 2013 IN THE GROUND. IT'S NEW TECHNOLOGY. NO MORE DRIVE BY THROTTLE. IF YOU WANT YOUR POWER, EITHER GET A MANUAL TRANSMISSION OR GET AN OLD CAR. PEACE TO ALL WHO READ. (( I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WEIRD WITH THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 13 MILES - BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT TILL I DID RESEARCH AND BOY, WAS I ENLIGHTENED. SO, LOSS OF POWER - WHICH I DID FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THEN I FOUND OUT - OH, NICE, NEW TECHNOLOGY. YOU CAN ALSO FIND OUT THE INFORMATION ON ANY BLOG FOR ANY HONDA OWNER - WHO IS A SERIOUS MECHANIC )) DRIVE BY WIRE - KNOWN AS DBW OR OUR OLD WAY OF CARS - DRIVE BY THROTTLE - OR DBT. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU FEEL HELPLESS UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN (WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO). I HAVE LEARNED TO COMPENSATE , BUT THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

DO NOT USE ECON BUTTON. OCCASIONALLY UPON APPLYING GAS PEDAL TO MAKE A TURN OR GO FORWARD AT STOP SIGN, ENGINE STALLS LEAVING ME WITHOUT GO POWER AT THE MERCY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

DRIVING AT 40 MPH NO ROAD HAZARD LESS THAN 19,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TIRE WENT FLAT WITH A SIDE WALL CRACK! THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED IT WAS ROAD HAZARD, BUT I KNOW DIFFERENT! THE SECOND TIRE CRACKED WHILE DRIVING 35 MILES PER HOURS. FIRESTONE TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE SAFE. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND OR PURCHASE TIRES FROM FIRESTONE OR PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR WITH FIRESTONE TIRES ON IT! *TR

ON THURSDAY OUR AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. I CONTACTED A HONDA SERVICE REP AND THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE UPCOMING MONDAY. ON MONDAY WE WAITED 2 HOURS SO THEY COULD CHECK THE CAR AND SO THEY COULD JUST TELL US THAT THERE IS A LEAK AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND IT. THEY FILLED OUR CAR WITH FREE-ON AND ADDED A DYE AND ASKED UP TO COME BACK IN 2 WEEKS, THEY SAID OUT A/C SHOULD BEGIN COOLING...IT DID FOR 3 HOURS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THURSDAY OF THE SAME WEEK. THE REPS SAID I NEED MY CONDENSER REPLACED, THAT ROAD DEBRIS DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. I DO NOT RECALL GOING OVER ANYTHING OR HITTING ANYTHING. HOW CAN A CONDENSER BE DAMAGED ON A NEW CAR. THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR $535. I BEGAN TO READ INTO IT ONLINE AND I AM NOT ALONE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS YET HONDA HAS NOT MADE ANYTHING BETTER. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, I PRESS THE ACCELERATER AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF BEING IN ECON MODE. I DON'T USE ECON MODE IN SPRING, SUMMER & FALL AND IT STILL HAPPENS; NOT EVERY TIME BUT 2 OR 3 TIMES A WEEK. IF I WERE TO TRY TO MAKE A QUICK TURN AND IT DID THAT II COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN DRIVING MOSTLY HONDAS SINCE 1984 AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT COULD HAVE SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS. UPDATED 04/3/2015 *JS

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSINGAT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. DJR ..UPDATED 08-25-14*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE NOSIER HAD BECOME MORE DISRUPTIVE. UPDATED 09/2/2014 *JS

I OWN A 2013 HONDA. I JUST FOUND THIS NHTSA WEBSITE TO REGISTER COMPLAINTS. WHEN I SIT IN A CAR, I SIT CORRECTLY, WITH THE SEAT FAIRLY UPRIGHT AND MY SHOULDERS AGAINST THE SEAT BACK. WHEN I DO THIS IN THE 2013 HONDA, AND ALL NEW CARS I HAVE SAT IN, MY HEAD IS FORCED FORWARD AND DOWN IN A VERY UNNATURAL, UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THE ONLY WAY I CAN LOOK AT THE ROD IS TO LIFT MY SHOULDERS OFF THE SEAT BACK, AND THEN MY ENTIRE UPPER BODY WEIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY MY NECK. THE PROBLEM IS THE HEADREST IS AT LEAST 1 INCH TOO FAR FORWARD. MY WIFE CANNOT SIT IN THE CAR FOR MORE THAT 30 MINUTES WITHOUT GETTING A HEADACHE. MY WIFE IS A PHYSIOTHERAPIST WITH 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE. HER COMMENT IS THAT THE HEADRESTS ARE FORCING US TO SIT IN ERGONOMICALLY INCORRECT POSITIONS. OLDER CARS HAD VERTICAL HEADRESTS THAT DID NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE NEW HEADREST POSITIONS ARE DUE TO NHTSA REGULATIONS PHASED IN 2009 TO PREVENT WHIPLASH. THE ONLY WAY I CAN DRIVE MY CAR NOW IS TO PULL THE HEADREST OUT AND PUT THEM IN BACKWARDS. THIS OBVIOUSLY RESULTS IN LESS WHIPLASH PROTECTION THAN EVEN THE OLD VERTICAL HEADRESTS FROM A WEB SEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO DO THE SAME THING. NOW IN MANY NEW CARS YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE HEADREST TO TURN IT AROUND. BECAUSE OF THIS NHTSA RULING I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY A NEW CAR, AND THE CAR I DRIVE IS NOT SAFE IN THE CASE OF A REAR END COLLISION. (NOTE: I LIVE IN CANADA BUT AM AFFECTED BY THIS NHTSA RULING.

2013 CIVIC LX. ON 8/2/2013 WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY POWER STEERING FROZE AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. INDICATOR LIGHT READ CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (HONDA NORTH, DANVERS, MA) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 4 MONTHS AND IT HAD 2,586 MILEAGE. ON 6/14/2014 WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, MY POWER STEERING FROZE AGAIN. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 5 - 10 MPH, AND WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. INDICATOR LIGHT READ CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 14 MONTHS, AND IT HAS 5,786 MILEAGE. LET ME RESTATE THAT: THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 5,800 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM HAS FAILED TWICE. IN BOTH OF THESE CASES, THE CAR WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY, BUT IF I HAD BEEN MOVING AT A RAPID RATE OF SPEED AND LOST CONTROL, I COULDN'T BEEN KILLED. IT IS BY SHEER LUCK THAT I WASN'T HIT DURING THE MOST RECENT EPISODE. *TR

2013 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE POWER STEERING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY, AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN HER HUSBAND ARRIVED, THE POWER STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AS HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, TO THE DEALER, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR SIX DAYS, WHERE THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION. THE DEALER ASSURED THE CONSUMER, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, AN INSPECTION DID NOT REVEAL ANY PROBLEMS. THE DEALER CALLED THE CONSUMER BACK AND STATED THEY BELIEVED THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED THE WIRING GOING TO THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM SHORTED OUT. THE DEALER STATED THE FACTORY HAD NOT SOLDERED THE WIRES TOGETHER AND THE WIRING PUNCTURED THROUGH THE SKIN AND SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO OUT. THE DEALER RE-WIRED AND RE-SOLDERED THE CONNECTION. *JB

I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEAR AND HAVE REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS NUMEROUS TIMES. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS ON A 18 MONTH OLD CAR. WITHOUT WARNING THEY WORE PREMATURELY DOWN TO THE METAL. AFTER SEARCHING FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, I FOUND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FROM 2010 WITH THE ACCORD. HONDA LOST BUT THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE CIVIC. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FROM TWO DEALERS REFUSE TO ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM AND REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE. NO MORE HONDAS FOR ME. *TR

AUTISTIC CHILD REMOVED SEATBELT TO EXIT CAR, CHILD SOMEHOW BECAME TANGLED IN SEATBELT. BELT STARTED RETRACTING. COULD NOT REMOVE CHILD FROM BELT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RELEASE AND CONTINUED TO DIG ITSELF FARTHER INTO CHILD'S TORSO. LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO CUT CHILD OUT OF THE SEATBELT. *TR

THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ON THIS MODEL OF CIVIC ( AND OTHER 2012-2014 ), POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS SUCH AS THE ACCORD ARE ANGLED SO FORWARD TO PREVENT WHIPLASH, TO THE ORDER OF -150MM. THESE PUSH THE HEAD OF THE DRIVER WAY FORWARD, FORCING INTO A POSTURE WHERE THE HEAD IS BENT FORWARD. TO AVOID THIS THE SEAT HAS TO BE RECLINED BACK, WHERE IN BACK HAS NO SUPPORT AND THE DRIVER IS BENT LIKE A "C" TRYING TO REACH THE STEERING. THIS HAS CAUSED SERVE BACK PROBLEMS, AND ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK, NECK AND SHOULDER. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND REPORTED BY MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS, YET HONDA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OR PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE OR SOLUTION. HONDA HAS MADE THIS TO LOOK THEIR SAFETY NUMBERS GOOD , TO COMPENSATE FOR OTHER WEEK AREAS , WHERE THE OVERALL SAFETY RATING INCREASES. HONDA'S ASIAN MODELS OF THE VERY SAME CARS, DON'T HAVE SUCH FORWARD FORCING HEAD RESTS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AT A STRETCH AND IT TAKES DAYS TO RECOVER ONCE THE PAIN SETS IN. TOOK THE CAR BACK THE DEALER, THEY SUGGESTED REMOVING THE HEADREST ALL TOGETHER OR TURNING IS BACK, WHERE THE DISTANCE IS AROUND +150MM, WHICH IS NOT GOOD IN PREVENTING A WHIPLASH AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED HEALTH ISSUES, MULTIPLE DOCTOR VISITS, TIME LOST AND ASSOCIATED COSTS WITH THE DOCTORS VISITS AND TESTS. SAFETY IS GOOD, BUT THIS HAS GONE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, TO PROTECT FROM WHIPLASH IS GOOD, BUT THIS DESIGN IS INDUCING PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS. IT TAKES DAYS TO RECOVER ONCE THE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO HEAR A THUMPING SOUND IN THE GASOLINE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,800.

THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT EVIDENT DURING THE PRE-PURCHASE TEST DRIVE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE GAS TANK FULL. HOWEVER, UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER LOT POST PURCHASE, AND DURING THE ENTIRE SUBSEQUENT OWNERSHIP PERIOD, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED RELATIVELY LOUD THUD / KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR/FUEL TANK AREA UPON STOPPING IN URBAN DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH GAS TANK FULL TO HALF EMPTY. THE SOUND WAS OF A SLOSHING LIQUID IN A CONTAINER (FUEL?), EVIDENT IN LOW SPEED BRAKING AND/OR GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND COMPLETELY RUINED MY OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA. I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH SIMILAR MODELS MADE BY COMPETITION (NISSAN SENTRA AND MAZDA3) AND OWNED BY ME PRIOR TO BUYING 2013 HONDA CIVIC. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AND, MOST LIKELY, WOULD NOT PURCHASE HONDA VEHICLES MYSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VOLUME OF THE HORN WAS ABNORMALLY LOW. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE FACTORY HORN WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONTACT TRY PURCHASING AN AFTERMARKET HORN FROM AN AUTO PARTS RETAILER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.

THIS LETTER IS TO INFORM YOU ABOUT A SEVERE MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAUMATIZED BY A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT IN THIS EVENT, BUT I?M HOPING THAT THIS FACT WILL NOT REDUCE THE ATTENTION FROM THIS SEVERE MALFUNCTION. FOLLOWING IS A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE EVENT THAT HAPPENED ON MAY 10, 2014 AT 6:30PM: I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, UNDER 5 MILES PER HOUR, APPROACHING A PARKING NEAR THE SIDEWAYS. THERE WAS ONE CAR ALREADY PARKED, AND I WAS GOING TO PARK BEHIND IT. I WAS ABOUT TO COMPLETE MY PARKING, AND MY LEG WAS GENTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES (I WAS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE HALT). SUDDENLY, THE CAR MADE A VERY LOUD NOISE AS IF SOMEONE PRESSED ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY (IT WAS AN AWFUL NOISE), AND THEN IT SHOT ITSELF FORWARD AT A CRAZY SPEED. AS THE CAR DROVE ITSELF INTO THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT, I PULLED THE HANDBRAKE AND PRESSED HARDER ON THE BREAKS IN THE SPLIT SECOND THAT I HAD TO REALIZE SOMETHING IS WRONG. SINCE I WAS AT A VERY LOW SPEED, THE IMPACT DIDN'T DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS. THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED THE CAR FROM GOING FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. AT THIS POINT THE CARS ENGINE DECREASED THE RPM BACK TO NORMAL, AND THE CAR STOPPED PUSHING ITSELF FORWARD, THOUGH AT THAT POINT I ALREADY DEPLOYED THE HAND BRAKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND A SLIGHT VIBRATION OCCURRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONLY WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR COMING TO A STOP. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125. UPDATED 7/9/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP A LOUD SLOSHING , BUMPING SOUND COULD BE HEARD EMITTING FROM THE GAS TANK. THIS OCCURRED GOING FORWARD AND IN REVERSE, AND OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FULL TO FULL. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE SOUND IS NORMAL. UPDATED 07/14/2014 *JS

ON APRIL 23, 2014 AT ABOUT 4:40 P. M. MY SON WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHICH IS 5 MILES UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT FOR THAT AREA WHERE HE LIVES. THE ROAD LEADING TO THE BACK ENTRANCE OF HIS HOUSING COMPLEX IS A SINGLE ONE-WAY LANE WITH A WIDE BICYCLE LANE. THIS ROADWAY CURVES SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT LEADING INTO THE ENTRANCE OF HIS HOUSING COMPLEX. ON APPROACHING THE END OF THE ROAD MY SON TOOK HIS FOOT OF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE, TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT (AS THE ROAD CURVES NATURALLY TO THE LEFT) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND STEERED TO THE RIGHT. MY SON TRIED VERY HARD TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO CORRECT THE STEERING BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE STEERED UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE RIGHT, JUMPING THE CONCRETE CURB AND STUCK A CONCRETE STREET LIGHT POLE, FLIPPED OVER AND LANDED A FEW FEET AWAY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WITH FIVE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. (ONE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FOUR OVER THE DOORS). HE WAS EXAMINED BY PARAMEDIC'S ON THE SCENE AND LATER OBSERVED SEVERE BRUISING ON HIS ABDOMEN AND NECK WHICH REQUIRED FURTHER MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOST BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

WINDSHIELD FOGS UP RAPIDLY IN WINTER WITHIN FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. FASTER THAN AIR CONDITIONING CAN DRY CAR INTERIOR. AS A RESULT, VISIBILITY IS REDUCED TO ZERO AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL OVER TO WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO DRY. THIS HAPPENS ON COLD DAYS BELOW 30 F, BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME IN ANY OTHER CAR I DRIVE OR HAVE DRIVEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE MALFUNCTION RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN EXTREMELY HOT OR FRIGID WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY TO PERFORM A REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON 22ND MARCH 2014, I WAS DRIVING MY ONE YEAR OLD CIVIC ON INTERSTATE 55 FROM JACKSON TOWARDS BATON ROUGE. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES WITH AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR, I SUDDENLY FACED PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. THE ACCELERATION WENT CRAZY SPIKING THE TACHOMETER BETWEEN 4000 AND 6000 RPM AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN THOUGH I GAVE THE ACCELERATION. WHEN I GAVE THE ACCELERATION, IT WAS MAKING ROARING SOUND AND RPM ON TACHOMETER IS SPIKING BETWEEN 4000 AND 6000 RPM. CAR WAS COMING TO STALL SLOWLY FROM 65 MPH, BEFORE IT COULD COME DOWN TO STANDSTILL I TURNED ON EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND PULLED THE VEHICLE ON TO THE SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY TWO VEHICLES BEHIND ME PAST MY CAR MERGING TO LEFT LANE SEEING MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. AFTER PULLING THE CAR ON TO THE SHOULDER, I HAVE PUT THE CAR ON TO PARKING GEAR FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN AGAIN SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE. FROM THEREON I DID NOT FACE ANY ACCELERATION PROBLEM AGAIN FOR THE REST OF MY 2.5 HOURS JOURNEY. FOR SAFETY, I JUST STAYED ON RIGHT LANE AND DROVE WITH CONSTANT SPEED OF ABOUT 65 MPH THROUGH OUT MY JOURNEY. IT WAS REALLY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATOR NOT WORKING AND GOING BERSERK AND CAR SLOWING DOWN ON INTERSTATE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND IF THERE ARE ANY SOLUTIONS FOR THIS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I AM REALLY WORRIED NOW TO DRIVE MY CAR ON HIGHWAYS AND TO GO ON LONG DRIVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE 205/55 R16. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND SHREDDED INTO PIECES. TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGES AND DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS MY SECOND 2013 CIVIC WITHIN A YEAR. MY FIRST ONE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE IMID SCREEN AND RADIO. BASICALLY, THIS BECOMES AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE HARD RESET THAT WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE COULD'VE DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD. THE IMID WOULD FREEZE, LAG, BLACKOUT, THE BACKUP CAMERA WOULD STOP WORKING OCCASIONALLY, MY PHONE WOULDN'T PAIR OCCASIONALLY, I COULDN'T USE ANY OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS OR THE BUTTONS ON THE RADIO SOMETIMES EITHER. EVENTUALLY, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY DOOR LOCKS WOULD EITHER LOCK REALLY HARD, NOT LOCK AS PROGRAMMED BY THE IMID, OR LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. I THOUGHT THE DEALER WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITUATION AND THEY TREATED THE CAR AS A TRADE AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES FOR TESTS, THE HARD RESET, AND THREE FIXES THE CORPORATION AND DEALER COMPLETELY AVOIDED ME TOWARDS THE END. I WENT AHEAD AND GOT ANOTHER 2013 CIVIC AND 2 DAYS LATER, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR-WINDOW DEFROSTER. AFTER I HAD THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH, I WAS USING THE HANDSFREE LINK, WHEN I NOTICED MY CALL INFO WAS NOT AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE GAS MILEAGE AND RANGE ON THE SCREEN. THE FOLLOWING MONTH, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWER IN THE CAR FADING IN AND OUT AS I WAS PARKING. THEN ANOTHER 2 MONTHS GO BY, THE ISSUES WITH THE RADIO BACKLIGHTING FLICKERING AND THE IMID START TO OCCUR AGAIN WITH THIS CAR. SO FAR, I'VE HAD TO WAIT FOR MY CAR TO START BEC

NO POWER. NO ACCELERATION. I AM FORTUNATE THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS CAUTIOUS ENOUGH TO SLOW DOWN. I HAD NO POWER, NO GET-UP, NO NOTHING AND I WAS FLOORING IT TO GET OUT OF A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS MADE ODD NOISES SINCE THE BEGINNING. BRAKES MAKE AN ODD NOISE. THERE IS A CRACKLING, TINKLING, VERY ODD NOISE THAT COMES FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP AND I GUESS THAT'S HOW THE CAR IS MADE (?). I DO NOT KNOW IF A CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE THIS, DUE TO HAVE OWNING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING CAREER. NO UMPH ON THIS BRAND-NEW CAR HAS LED ME TO SEND IN THIS COMPLAINT IN CASE OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILARITIES. ODD NOISE WITH BRAKES, ODD, VERY ODD NOISE THAT TINKERS UNDER THE CAR AND NO ACCELERATION. I USE THE GASOLINE OUTLINED/ PREFERRED BY THE HONDA CIVIC OWNER'S MANUAL. *TR

NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, YET. THIS IS A WARNING TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. HONDA HAS MOVED THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR FROM WHAT IT WAS ON MY PREVIOUS 2000 YEAR MODEL. THE CURRENT POSITION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR, EVEN WHEN THE MIRROR IS ADJUSTED AS FAR TO THE SIDE AS POSSIBLE. I THINK IT IS BECAUSE THE MIRROR HAS MOVED TOO CLOSE TO THE DRIVER, RATHER THAN CLOSER TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I'M GUESSING THEY DID THIS SINCE THEY MADE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TWO PIECES INSTEAD OF ONE (THEY ADDED A SMALL TRIANGLE SHAPED WINDOW AT THE FRONT OF THE WINDOW). THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

DEALER SERVICE CENTER IDENTIFIED AN OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER COVER. DEALER INDICATED, "NOT ENOUGH HONDABOND REMOVED TIMING TENSIONER COVER PLATE, CLEANED AREA, RESEALED COVER WITH HONDABOND, AND REINSTALLED. RECHECKED AFTER OIL CHANGE AND FOUND NO LEAKS AT THIS TIME". *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 72 MILES AN HOUR MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER. THE DASH WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. MY STEERING WAS EXTREMELY STIFF WITH LIMITED RANGE OF MOVEMENT, I FEEL THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE OPEN LANE NEXT TO ME AND BRAKE TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY CAR AND IT STARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION WITH NO FURTHER TROUBLE. I TOOK IT TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP A FEW HOURS LATER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY REASON FOR THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE FREEWAY. THEY CHECKED THE CARS COMPUTER AND FOUND NO CODES STORED. THEY TEST DROVE WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I HAD. THEY CHECKED THE BATTERY AND BATTERY CABLES HE NOTED THEY CHECKED "OK". THE TECH NOTED HE PLACED THE "BOARD ON SNAPSHOT TO STALL". NOTING IN CASE THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN THEY WILL HAVE DATA TO AID IN DIAGNOSIS. THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE HOPING IT HELPS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IM NOT VERY COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR NOW! VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE!! I WOULD HOPE HONDA CAN FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE'S LOVED ONE IS INJURED OR INJURES ANOTHER IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION! *TR

I HAD TRIED PARALLEL PARKING, BUT COULDN'T FIT IN SPOT. I PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT AND WAS STOPPED PARALLEL TO SIDEWALK ON THE ROAD WITH THE BRAKE ON. SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARD. I HAD NOT PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND I HAD NOT PUT THE GAS ON. I WAS GOING TO START GOING FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT IT WOULDN'T DEPRESS AND STOP THE CAR. I WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO. I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, BUT I WAS PANICKING BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE CAR WAS BACKING UP WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING AND WHY THE BRAKE WASN'T WORKING. THEN IT STOPPED MOVING. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. EARLIER IN THE WEEK, HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, I TRIED TO TURN ON THE RADIO AND THE BUTTON FOR TURNING IT ON DIDN'T WORK FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THEN IT SUDDENLY STARTED WORKING AGAIN.
