I HAVE A LEASED 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX, MY LEASE BEGAN 11/2014. IN 9/2016 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ON A SIDE ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT 45MPH WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL, I COULD FLOOR IT WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, AND NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (POWER STEERING, VSA, HILL START ASSIST, TPMS, EMISSION, TRANSMISSION, ETC). I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY AND WAIT FOR A TOW. UPON ARRIVAL AT HONDA, THE CAR WAS 'BACK TO NORMAL' AND THE TECHS COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY CALLED IT A FLUKE AND RETURNED IT TO ME. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS JUST LEAVING MY HOUSE, ABOUT 5 MPH OUT OF MY SPOT AND UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SAME HONDA AND WAITED. I WAS TOLD A WEEK LATER THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO KEEP LOOKING. NOT HAPPENING AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY OPENED A CLAIM WITH HONDA. THEY LOOKED FOR A WEEK MORE WITH NO LUCK AND WERE ABOUT TO RETURN MY DANGEROUS AND UNDIAGNOSED CAR TO ME WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THEM; I AM UNAWARE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY KEPT IT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS WHEN THEY GUESSED IT WAS A FAULTY COMPUTER AND PUT A NEW ONE IN IT. FAST FORWARD TO 2/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED YET AGAIN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 7 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND ABOUT TO TURN ONTO A 50 MPH, 5 LANE ROAD WHERE I FOR SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURRED THERE. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO HONDA AND I HAVE ZERO INTENTIONS TO TAKE THIS DEATH TRAP BACK, AND I

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V574000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

BEGINNING THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE CHECK TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE EACH TIME TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, WHICH HAS 98% OF THE TIME BEEN FINE. THEY HAVE DONE 2 COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADES, THE FIRST OF WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON; THE 2ND TIME IT WAS UPGRADED, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. I RECENTLY LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 8 HOURS AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT SAID IT WAS A SMALL DISCREPANCY IN THE TREAD OF THE TIRES - ONE TIRE HAD 4/32 OF A TREAD AND THE OTHERS HAD 5/32. HOWEVER, SINCE THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE TIRES WERE THEN NEW, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION AND NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.
THE VECHILE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE POWER AND THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON BUT THE CAR WILL START THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL FLICKER AND MAKE WEIRD NOISES. ALSO WOULD GET ABS VSA TPMS AND BRAKE LIGHT WARNING WHILE TRYING TO START AND THEN WHEN YOU JUMP START IT, IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. DEALER CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID EVERYTHING IS FINE BATTERY CHECKS GOOD AND ALTERNATOR AS WELL BUT THE CAR KEEPS DOING IT AND HAS LEFT ME DOWN ON THE ROAD 4 TIMES IN I LAST 3 MONTHS I NEED HONDA TO FIX THIS !!!!!!!!!
VERMIN CHEWED UP MY ENGINE BAY WIRING HARNESS WIRES AND THE INITIAL POTENTIAL FIX WILL COST $360, IF THE DAMAGE IS WORSE IT WILL COST ANOTHER $1500 AT LEAST.
15V-574 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I ASKED THEM TO FIX THIS RECALL AND THEY SAID IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THEIR DATABASE.

CLUTCH DISINTEGRATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CLUTCH FRICTION MATERIAL DISLODGED, TORE INTO LARGE CHUNKS, AND JAMMED BETWEEN THE PRESSURE PLATE AND FLYWHEEL. THIS CAUSED THE CLUTCH PETAL TO DROP TO THE FLOOR AND KEPT THE CLUTCH ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.

WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED IN FRONT OF ME, I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR, BUT COULDN'T FIND THE CLUTCH PETAL -- I FINALLY FOUND THE PETAL WAS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, AND COULDN'T GET IT OFF THE FLOOR. IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FIND THE PETAL, SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, AND STOP THE VEHICLE, I ALMOST RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. UP TO THIS TIME WHEN I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 5TH, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE ACTING NORMALLY. CLUTCH HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED DURING ITS ENTIRE LIFE.

RECEIVED RECALL NHTSA RECALL 15V-574. UNDER HIGH STRESS DRIVE PULLEY SHAFTS WITH LOW HARDNESS CAN BREAK! REMEDY IS TO REPROGRAM CVT TO REDUCE STRESS. VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NO GUARANTEE IT WILL PREVENT BREAKAGE. NEED SHAFT REPLACED!!
THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE HAS BEEN ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST SAT. 11/15 BOUGHT IT FROM HERTZ AND DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER THERE IS A RECALL JD8 FOR THIS BUT IT SAYS NO OPEN RECALL ON THIS CAR
THE TIRES ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR PRESSURE. THE TMPS SENSOR GOES OFF ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AND ONE OF THE TIRES WILL BE ABOUT 5+ PSI LOW AND ONE OR MORE OF THE OTHERS WILL BE 1-2 PSI LOW. IT IS NEVER THE SAME TIRE AND EVERY TIME IT GOES OFF I CHECK ALL OF THEM AND RE-INFLATE ALL TO THE CORRECT PSI. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2014 HONDA CIVICS FOR THIS ISSUE (CAUSED BY AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE ATTACHING TO THE WHEEL), BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. I THINK THAT ALL 2014 HONDA CIVICS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FIXED.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
