2017 Honda Civic complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SUN ROOF MADE SOME POPPING SOUNDS AND THE GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF STEVENS CREEK (800-692-2129, LOCATED AT 4590 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE SUN ROOF WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A REFERENCE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 50 WHEN IT'S OVER 80 DEGREES. THE STEERING ACTS UP! WHEN TRY TO ADJUST A LITTLE BIT IT RESIST AND THEN LET'S GO SLIGHTLY. IT MAKES YOU OVER STEER A BIT. IT'S NOT A COMFORTING THING WHEN IT KEEPS DOING THAT! I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO GET A RECALL FOR STEERING ASSIST. THE MAGNET HAS COME LOOSE AND OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM!

THE STEERING STICKS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO OVERCOMPENSATE AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY WITHIN THE LANES. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT GO BACK TO CENTER.

NUMEROUS NHTSA REPORTS HAVE BEEN TO WASTE AS NOTHING IS DONE. THIS 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL GLITCHES SINCE BOUGHT NEW IN DEC. 2017. NO PROBLEM (S) FOUND. NO CODES. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. ETC. ETC. HONDA REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE & SERVICING HONDA DEALERS DO NOT WANT THIS PIECE OF CRAP HONDA IN THEIR SHOPS. HONDA CLAIMS THEY HAVE LEGAL RIGHT TO CANCEL ALL NEW VEHICLE WARRANTIES ON THIS VEHICLE & OWNER CANNOT DO ANYTHING LEGALLY ABOUT THIS. NO US FEDERAL AGENCY HAS ANY CONTROL WHAT HONDA DOES IN THE US. HONDA HAS BECOME ARROGANT & ABUSIVE TOWARDS HONDA CUSTOMERS & DOES NOT CARE.

10TH GENERATION 2017 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN: FIRST REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALER IN MAY 2018, THE TRUNK MYSTERIOUSLY OPENS WITHOUT ANY OWNER INTERACTION. HAVE GONE INSIDE OUR HOME ONLY TO COME OUT IN THE MORNING TO FIND THE TRUNK OPEN. JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST WEEK OF MARCH 2019, THE HONDA DEALER HAD THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN ON SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2019, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM AS SOME OWNERS MAY THINK THEY ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN UP IN THE HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FORUM ON CIVICX.COM.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE ENTERING A TUNNEL WITH NO CARS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF IT, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM(PART OF HONDA SENSING SUITE OF SAFETY FEATURES) ACTIVATED AND SIGNIFICANTLY BRAKED THE CAR, NEARLY TO A STOP, WITH CARS AT HIGHWAY SPEED BEHIND ME. THERE WERE PAVEMENT MARKINGS THAT APPEARED TO BE GROUND OFF AS A RESULT OF RECENT CONSTRUCTION THAT PERHAPS THE CAR'S SENSING SYSTEM MISTOOK FOR AN OBJECT THAT IT THOUGHT IT COULD HIT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE CAR'S PATH. NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS OPERATED ODDLY, BUT IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT HAS MISTOOK SHADOWS AND SUN GLARE AS BEING OBJECTS AND WARNED ME TO BRAKE (ALBEIT MOMENTARILY) BUT THE CAR DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY BRAKING IN THOSE SITUATIONS.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BY DESIGN WHEN SOMEONE WHO DOES MEET WEIGHT CRITERIA IS SEATED. THIS IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC 5-DOOR PURCHASED NEW IN DEC. 2016 & HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALERS THE SENSOR IS DESIGNED TO DEACTIVATE PASSENGER AIR BAG IF WEIGHT THRESHOLD NOT MET. MY WIFE IS 5 FT. 5 IN. & APPROX. 125 POUNDS, & WHENEVER SHE IS SEATED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS OFF. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALER THE 4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS ARE : 1. MOVE FRONT SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK ( NO AIR BAG FUNCTION ). 2. HAVE HER SIT IN BACK SEAT. 3. NOT HAVE HER IN CAR AT ALL. 4. GET ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAS FUNCTIONING PASSENGER AIR BAG. THESE ARE OFFICIAL REPAIR SOLUTIONS PER HONDA TECH SUPPORT & HONDA SERVICING DEALER.

I BOUGHT MY 2017 CIVIC BRAND NEW IN MAY 2017. EVER SINCE I HAD THIS CAR THE ELECTRONICS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. VOLUME DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE DIGITAL RADIO. I'LL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO USE THE VOLUME. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF WHILE IN PARK. I HAD TO SIT OVER 5 MINUTES IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OFF WITH PUSHING THE START BUTTON OVER AND OVER. THE RADIO GOES STATICKY EVERY TIME I USE THE DEFROST BUTTON. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR NOW MAKES A BEEPING NOISE HERE AND THERE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE DASH/RADIO. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN DRIVE OR PARK. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO HONDA THEY COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING SINCE THE CODES DIDN'T PULL UP WHEN THEY PLUGGED THEIR COMPUTER INTO MY CAR. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE NOISES THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING (BEEPING). SO YES I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND IN 2 MONTHS I WILL HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS.

ENGINE OIL DILUTION. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE L15 ENGINES AND GAS FLOWING DOWN PAST THE PISTONS INTO THE CRANKCASE. THESE ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN CHINA AND ONLY "AFFECTED" STATES IN THE US AND CANADA. I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THESE "AFFECTED" STATES BUT MY ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS ABOVE THE MAXIMUM LEVEL AND SMELLS HEAVILY OF GAS.

I HAD THE WIPERS ON AND IT WAS RAINING. THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING BEFORE THEY REACHED THE DOWN POSITION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THEY WOULD NOT WORK AFTER THAT. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET GOING FORWARD.

VIBRATION IN ENGINE

CAR TURNED OFF DOESN'T CRACK UP AND SAYS THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS INCLUDING BREAK SYSTEM.

WHEN I STARTED DRIVING IT STARTED TO HESITATE AND THEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND THEN WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR I TURNED THEM ON THEY WENT UP AND NEVER WENT DOWN. NOW THEY DON'T EVEN WORK AT ALL THEY'RE STUCK IN THE POSITION THAT I SHOWED YOU THE PHOTO I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS DRIVING I HAVE 0 VISIBILITY ITS SNOWING HERE IN OREGON

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-30 MERGING ON THE HIGHWAY. I PUT IT IN SPORT MODE AND TRY TO GET UP TO SPEED BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR GOES TO LIMP MODE. THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF FROM THE ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. CLEARED ALL ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY AND NO CEL WAS STORED.

FUEL (GASOLINE) IS SEEPING INTO THE MOTOR OIL CAUSING A OVERFILL MARK ON OIL DIPSTICK AND STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. OIL VISCOSITY SEEMS TO BE "THINNER" AFTER 2000 + MILES OF DRIVING.

UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THE TECH THAT WENT INTO THE MOTOR OF THE 2017 SI. I FOUND THAT THE SAME MOTOR WAS IN THE 2017 CRV AND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON IT FOR A FULE PROBLEM. I DID NOT FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE HOWEVER I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN CHANGEING OIL THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. I'M AFRAID OF THERE BEING DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR DUE TO LOSS OF LUBRICATION. (THE DATE I'LL PUT FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED WILL BE THE LAST DATE OF AN OIL CHANGE.)

THE VEHICLE, AFTER BEING DRIVEN THE DAY PRIOR WITHOUT ISSUES OR ANY ENGINE LIGHTS, WILL NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. THE ONLY ENGINE LIGHT THAT IS ON IS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LIGHT. WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR, THE BATTERY DOESN'T EVEN CLICK. I EVEN JUMPED THE BATTERY TO REINFORCE THE IDEA THAT THIS IS LIKELY NOT RELATED TO THE BATTERY - STILL NO CLICKING. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECENT RECALL ON 2017 HONDA CIVICS FOR THE SAME ISSUE - THE EPS SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC, AND WHEN I CALLED HONDA TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY VEHICLE, THEY TOLD ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER RECALLED HONDA CIVICS, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY SPECIFIC CIVIC WAS NOT BEING RECALLED FOR THIS MATTER. FOR A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, WITH NO ACCIDENTS, SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS AN EPS FAILURE SHOULD BE HANDLED MORE SERIOUSLY. THIS KIND OF FAILURE, IF OCCURRING DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, COULD RESULT IN MAJOR AUTO ACCIDENTS.

NEW CIVIC SEDAN JUST TURNED OVER 1 YEAR OLD AND IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED WEIRD AT TIMES, ALMOST CAUSING ME A FEW ACCIDENTS (MAINLY AT ACCELERATION). STOPPED BY DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF COVINGTON) SOMETIME IN THE FALL AND SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT LOTS OF CIVIC OWNERS STOP BY AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, BUT THIS IS JUST "HOW THEY ARE" AND THEY WILL GET BETTER AS THEY BUILD MORE OF THEM. I DIDN'T BUY A CHRYSLER OR EDSEL AND EXPECTED MY OVER 20K SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE TO BE BETTER THAN THAT. SOMETIMES IT ENGAGES ROUGHLY WHEN WE SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND SOMETIMES IT LAGS A WHILE THEN JUMPS INTO GEAR. WE NOW HAVE AROUND 8K MILES ON THIS 4 DOOR SEDAN

IJULY 2017 IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY RE-SETTING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT LEGAL SPEED OF 70 MILES AN HOUR! ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED WITH EVERY COLORED WARNING LIGHT & A SPINNING-DOTED CIRCLE LIGHT AS IF CAR COMPUTER WAS SEARCHING FOR A SIGNAL OR BEING REMOTELY RESET! THE RADIO TURNED OFF, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK, THE COMPUTER DASHBOARD FLASHED UNTIL FINALLY THE 'H' HONDA LOGO APPEARED ON THE RADIO SCREEN RESETTING ITSELF. SCARING ME TO BELIEVE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN OR ABOUT TO MALFUNCTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THREE MONTHS LATER THE RADIO, SATELLITE, SIDE MIRROR CAMERA, REAR BACKUP CAMERA EVERY THING ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPUTER BRAIN OF THIS CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT! NOTHING CAN BE RESET THROUGH THE RADIO AS IT'S JUST STUCK. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS NO EXPLANATION OTHER REPLACEMENT FOR SAFETY! DEALERSHIP REACHED OUT TO HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE AS I'VE EXCEEDED 36,000 MILE COMPLEMENTARY WARRANTY. HONDA ACTUALLY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MALFUNCTION AT FIRST, STATING THEY WOULD PAY/COVER MAJORITY OF COST LEAVING BALACE OF $300. I FOUND THIS TO BE CRAZY, AS THIS ELECTICAL MALFUNCTION WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN & SHOULD INITIATE RECALL! AS I NOW HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ALL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ARE ERROR OR ACTUAL SAFETY WARNINGS! I HAVE NO REAR CAMERA OR SIDE MIRROR CAMERA DUE TO THIS RADIO/COMPUTER MALFUNCTION! THIS IS A DANGER DRIVING THIS CAR SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND EXPLAINED I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE $300 FOR REPLACE

SUN VISORS (WHEN STARTING FROM THE DOOR/WINDOW) SWING WHEN MAKING A TURN. THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MORE DETAILS: BOTH SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY FIXED WHEN TURNED TO BE NEXT TO THE DOOR WINDOW. EXAMPLE, WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS THE VISOR NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND MAKES A LEFT TURN THE VISOR HITS DRIVER IN THE HEAD. IT'S MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE VISOR IS EXTENDED.

TAKATA RECALL SAFETY COMPONENTS RELATED TO DRIVER SAFETY WHICH IN RELATION RELATES TO DRIVER ASSISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING CARS IN FRONT SENSORS DO NOT PICK UP AND DON'T AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE LANE SHIFTING DOES NOT WORK.

THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL RANDOMLY AND TAKE UP TO A FEW HOURS TO RESTART. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN THE CENTER STACK HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BUTTONS BEING PUSHED BY THEMSELVES. LASTLY, EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE SIGN ON DASHBOARD BUT BRAKE WAS WORKING FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO REGISTER AN OCCUPANT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. GUNN HONDA (14610 I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78249) WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, DISCONNECTED THE SENSOR CABLE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND RECONNECTED IT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500. *TT*JB

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE A/C FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK. TWO DAY AGO MY A/C STOP WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING 41K MILES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY (DEALERSHIP) DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES. THE REPAIR COST WAS $1,500. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL BUYER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE A/C TRIGGERED SOMETHING IN MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT LET IT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THE A/C IS ENTITLED.

VEHICLE HESITATING, FAILING TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN 25 MPH. VEHICLE HAS LOST DRIVEN GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND ABRUPTLY RETURNED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, VEHICLE EXHIBITING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. TRANSMISSION RELATED GRINDING NOISE ON WARM-START, ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD START. COLLISION MITIGATING BRAKING SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER. ENGINE CURRENTLY LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL FROM AROUND THE HEAD AND ONTO SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESSES, A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF FIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG ISLAND HONDA HILO (75-5608 KUAKINI HWY, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96720, 1-(808) 961-5505) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *BF *JB

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED WHEN MY WIFE OR I SIT IN THE SEAT. PER HONDA DEALER NEITHER ONE OF US MEET SENSOR CRITERIA TO ACTIVATE AIR BAG. AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT ASSIST NOR RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. THE SERVICING DEALER RECOMMENDS HAVING WIFE MOVE SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK OR SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS ISSUE IS CONSIDERED NORMAL & WITHIN DESIGN CRITERIA. PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NEVER DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WHENEVER SOMEONE SITS & WEIGHT DOES NOT ACTIVATE AIRBAG.

VEHICULE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH ALL WARNING LIGHTS POP UP, VEHICULE LOSS POWER UNTIL STALL. EVENT OCCURS 3 OCCATIONS IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH.

SINCE WE GOT THE CAR, DECEMBER 2017, THE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE GOT IT AND TWICE IN OCTOBER, WHILE MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TWO DEALERS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND HONDA SAYS IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WON'T START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I CAN NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG FAIL IF WE WERE TO GET IN A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SUN ROOF OPENED AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN SPONTANEOUSLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE

FUEL IS MIXING WITH OIL. OIL DIPSTICK READS HIGHER WHEN CHECKED. ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS SLUGGISH. WHEN CHECKING OIL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. AS A RESULT, OIL IS SIGNIFICANTLY THINNER WHEN CHECKED.

MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK, WITH 13,015 MILES ON IT, WAS IN MY CARPORT AND HAD ONLY BEEN SITTING 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE. AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO SURPRISE HONDA (BIG MISTAKE) AND THEY SAW THAT MY HARNESS (PART NUMBER 53682-TSA-A01) WAS CHEWED BY RODENTS WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS AND KNOWS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. HONDA EVEN HAS A SPECIAL SPICY TAPE, WHICH THEY CHARGE FOR AS WELL, THAT THEY CAN USE TO WRAP THE WIRING TO DETER THE RODENTS (WHICH THE SERVICE MGR SAID REALLY DOESN'T WORK.) HONDA SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 370.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 20.00 DOLLARS. IT IS 108 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE RODENTS ARE NOT GOING INTO MY ENGINE TO KEEP WARM!! THE SOY BASE WIRING IS ATTRACTING THEM TO DO THE DAMAGE. HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIP WERE OF NO HELP WHATSOEVER EXCEPT TO MAKE MONEY OFF A POOR CHOICE IN THEIR SOY BASE WIRING.

THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING-HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, INCLUDING THE FREEWAY...YET HONDA SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES.

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT, APPROACHING A GATE WITH AN INDUCTIVE-LOOP TRAFFIC DETECTOR, WHICH CAN DETECT VEHICLES PASSING OR ARRIVING AT A CERTAIN POINT, ONCE A VEHICLE IS DETECTED THE GATE WOULD OPEN. I WAS APPROACHING, MAYBE 50 FEET FROM THE GATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE OF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD TOWARDS THE GATE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS I WAS APPROACHING THE GATE WHICH WAS STILL CLOSED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE FLOOR BOARD OR ANYTHING OBSTRUCTING THE PEDALS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO ABRUPTLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID STRIKING THE GATE. MY HONDA IS EQUIPPED WITH HONDA SENSING AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED, MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE THE "BRAKE" WARNING WAS ON, IT OBSERVED THE GATE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A "POP," THERE WAS NO ALERT OR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COOPERATE. SO I WENT OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I FOUND OUT MY PASSENGER REAR RIGHT SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT COMPLETELY.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ON A POURING RAIN AND SUDDENLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED. THIS ALMOST CAUSE ME ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHEN I PRESS MY GAS ON A REALLY FAST HIGHWAY, I TRIED TO FLOOR THE GAS BUT IT WASN'T ACCELERATING, I HAD TO SWITCH GEAR FOR IT TO WORK.

2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK. 22371 MILES. RT. FRT. PASS. AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO " SMART DESIGN ". PER HONDA DEALER, SEAT SENSOR IS NOT DETECTING WEIGHT THRESHOLD WHEN ANYONE SITS WHO ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH. MY WIFE IS 5' 4" & APPROX. 117 LBS. I AM 5' 5" & APPROX. 115 LBS. NEITHER ONE OF US CAN SIT & TURN OFF SRS OFF WARNING. ALSO PER DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY DESIGN AS IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE FORCE CAN INJURE OR WORSE THE PERSON SITTING THERE IF NOT OF CORRECT WEIGHT. MY WIFE WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AT ANY TIME SHE SITS IN FRONT. DEALER ADVISED THAT SEAT BE MOVED FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE OR HAVE HER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. ALSO, THE SEAT SIDE AIR BAG AND/OR SIDE CURTAIN SYSTEM SHOULD STILL PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION. OTHERWISE, NO TROUBLE CODE (S) ARE PRESENT & SYSTEM OPERATING NORMALLY & WITHIN DESIGN PARAMETERS. NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY WIFE BEING UNPROTECTED IN EVENT OF INCIDENT & SHE IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING REQUIRED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT.

POTENTIAL TAKETA RECALL. JULY 14, 2018. I HAD MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE. TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 7 P.M.AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE BUMPED THE CURB.THE DRIVERS SIDE CENTER AIRBAG, LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. IT EXPLODED! I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD RAMMED INTO MY CAR. WHEN THE AIRBAG BLEW, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD FIRED A COUPLE OF 12 GUAGE SHOTGUNS IN THE VEHICLE.SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS ON FIRE. THE IMPACT FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE TO SAY THE LEAST. BY THE TIME I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT TO EXIT THE CAR, THE SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS SO THICK I COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. MY CHEST AND HAND ARE SORE, BUT NOTHING APPEARS TO BE BROKEN. I LEFT THE VEHICLE WHERE IT WAS PARKED AND HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIOP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, SO THAT A COMPLETE EVALUATION CAN BE DONE TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT RESULTED FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN ON THIS WEBSITE, IT DID NOT COME UP AS BEING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE ASAP. THANK GOODNESS I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE WERE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THAT AIRBAG BLEW!

STARTING ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF OLD AND ONLY HAS 18K MILES ON IT. IT FIRST STARTED AROUND THE FALL LAST YEAR WITH MY CAR REPEATEDLY POPPING THE TRUNK WHEN I WOULD NOT BE NEAR IT AND WOULD COME OUT TO IT IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND FIND MY TRUNK WIDE OPEN. LATER ON I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK POPPING OPEN WOULD FORCE THE CAR ALARM TO GO OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND OCCASIONALLY WOULD LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME THE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T CONTINUE (IT HAS CONTINUED AND IN FACT IS HAPPENING AS I TYPE THIS IN MY APARTMENT). THE NEXT ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE POURING RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. UPON HAVING THIS PROBLEM INSPECTED THE TECHNICIANS DETERMINED IT WAS "FAULTY" WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS AND HAD BOTH REPLACED. THE LATEST ISSUE THAT OCCURRED WAS AS I WAS DRIVING TO PENSACOLA FROM WASHINGTON AND STOPPED OFF AT A REST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OREGON FOR SOME SLEEP. UPON WAKING UP (3HRS AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF) I DISCOVERED MY CAR WAS DOING SOME GLITCHY THING WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WHERE IT WAS ACTING LIKE I WAS TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAD NOTHING TURNED ON OR PLUGGED IN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD TOTALLY DISABLED

COMPLETE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE.

WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CONDITION WARNING LIGHTS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND BRAKE HOLD ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME

AC LINE WAS NEVER CONNECTED FROM THE FACTORY WITH BUILT. CAUSED EXCESSIVE WATER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD AND CAUSED MOLD ON THE CARPET

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 9/17/2017. LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT BACK WAS DEFORMED, CAUSING BACK PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY MANIPULATED THE CUSHIONS TO GET THE SEAT BACK TO A MORE COMFORTABLE SHAPE, HOWEVER IT DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME AS WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THAT THE CUSHIONS BECAME DISPLACED AGAIN. THERE ARE TWO CUSHIONS FORMING THE SIDE BOLSTER, AND THE SIDE AIRBAG IS DESIGNED TO DEPLOY BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE CUSHIONS BACK INTO PLACE AND DON'T LIVE CLOSE TO MY DEALERSHIP SO IT IS INCONVENIENT TO TAKE IT BACK IN. NOW I HAVE BACK PAIN IN THE AREA WHERE THE SEAT IS DEFORMED AND PUSHING INTO MY BACK. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK HOWEVER I AM AFRAID EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE SEAT THIS PROBLEM WILL KEEP OCCURRING. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IT IN WITHOUT TAKING A HUGE LOSS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH HOW THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD BE EFFECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WAS CONTACTED AFTER THIS REPORT WAS COMPLETED. THE SERVICE MANAGER WENT TO THE TOW YARD AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOT A COMPLETE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW PERFORMED TECH (SERVICE MANAGER) COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY CAR DIED/STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. UPDATED 9/26/18*JB

EVERY NOW AND THEN THERE WILL BE BRAKE PROBLE WHILE IM DRIVING CAR WILL STOP IN THE FOR NO REASON.LASTWEEK AS I WAS REVERSING THE CAR HAD AN ERROR STATING ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM AND IT WOULDNT MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF THWN TURN IT BACK ON IT WENT AWAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE ERROR APPEARS AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TURN IT OFF AND WAITED

AT ABOUT 10000 MILES I NOTICED RIPPLES IN MY REAR ROOF PILLARS. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR AND FIXED IT WITH BODY FILL. I AM WORRIED IF THE ROOF WILL FLEX A DENT LIKE THAT UNDER LOAD THAT IT MAY NOT BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A ?COLD START?, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNWEST HONDA-MAZDA (1030 NORTH COAST HIGHWAY, NEWPORT, OR 97365, (541) 265-8547) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.

STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH MY WINDSHIELD WIPES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THEY STOPPED MID WINDOW AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.
