2018 Honda Civic complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPROACHING A STOPPED VEHICLE AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEHIND WAS DRIVING 45 MPH AND REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE CONTACT STATED THE IMPACT MADE HER HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING HER TO FRACTURE HER NOSE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER HUSBANDS BUSINESS. A POLICE REPORT WAS REPORTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER TO NOTIFY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM COMES ON. TIRE PRESSURE IS EXACTLY 34/35 PSI AS DOOR PANEL ADVISES. RESET THE TPMS SYSTEM TO FIX THE WARNING. ALSO, AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES, THE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE KEEP, & COLLISON MITIGATION SYSTEM FAILED. HAD TO STOP CAR, TURN IT OFF, AND RESTART TO GET WARNINGS TO DISAPPEAR.

KEYFOB RANGE REDUCED DRASTICALLY USED TO BE ABLE TO REMOTE START MY CAR FROM OVER 200FT. NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO IT OVER 30FT. EVEN ONE OF THE SALE MEN SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO START HIS OWN CIVIC FROM OVER A 100FT. THE SERVICE MANAGE TOLD ME THE LAST TIME I CAME IN TO CHECK IF THERE WAS ANY NEW (BECAUSE THEY NEVER CALL OR RETURNED MY CALL) SAID THAT CORPORATE HONDA DIDN'T HAVE A FIX AND THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HE THEN GAVE ME A BUNCH OF RIDICULOUS REASONS (SO MUCH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT IT CAN DRAIN THE BATTERY EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF AND THAT THE CAR IS PROTECTING ITSELF FROM DRAINING COMPLETELY BY "SHUTTING DOWN SOME SYSTEM" WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. OTHER EXCUSES THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT MY WINDOWS WERE TINTED (THEY ARE CERAMIC TINTED WHICH DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH SIGNAL LOSS) IT COULD BE MY DASHCAM, OR MY SUBWOOFER. I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED IT IF IT HAPPENED AFTER I JUST HAD THEM INSTALLED. BUT I HAD EVERYTHING INSTALLED 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR WHICH WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM JUST SHOWED UP A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT NOT JUST HONDA BUT CAR DEALERSHIPS WILL DO ALL THEY CAN TO NOT FIX YOUR CAR. I EVEN SENT CORPORATE HONDA A MESSAGE AND ALL THEY SAID WAS GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP... SERIOUSLY? YOU'D THINK THEY'D TRAIN TECHS TO BE ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I AM NOT GOING TO DRIVE 45MIN (CLOSEST LOCATION) TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING. AFTER I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IS THE RECEIVER

*TL THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. SEE ATTACHED DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT. DISCRIPTION IS THAN 2000 CHARACTERS.*JB

ELECTRICAL FIRE WITHIN THE DRIVER DOOR. A FIRE STARTED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND OFF AT MALL IN TOLEDO, OHIO. WEATHER HAD BEEN RAINY. CAME OUT TO VEHICLE AND THE INSIDE WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. AFTER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND TOWING AGENCY MANAGED TO GET THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN TO GET INSIDE, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE DRIVE DOOR HAD BEEN ON FIRE AND MELTED. THE FIRE HAD ALSO DESTROYED THE HEADLINER, DRIVE SEAT AND LEFT THE SMOKE DAMAGED INTERIOR COVERED IN SOOT. THERE WAS ALSO A HOLE IN THE DRIVER FLOOR, REVEALING POSSIBLE FRAME DAMAGE. HONDA SAYS THAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING TO SEE WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THE FIRE. DURING A PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE IN FEBRUARY, I HAD MENTIONED TO THE MECHANICS THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN BEEPING RAPIDLY WHILE IT WAS OFF AND THE KEY FOB WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO THIS IF THE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD, BUT IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS WARM OUTSIDE, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME WENT ON. THIS CONCERN WAS BRUSHED OFF BY BROWN HONDA, WHO ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE HONDA WAS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. HONDA CORPORATE SAID THAT THE BEEPING SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF THE CAR IS OFF. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON HONDA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

A RED TOYOTTA COROLLA SWURVED AND PUSHED ME TO THE UNPAVED SIDE OF THE ROAD NOT CHECKING THE LEFT SIDE. I WAS NOT EVEN ON THE BLIND SPOT LANE AND I WAS FORCED TO BE PUSHED TO THE UNPAVED ROAD ON THE LEFT SIDE. IT WAS A SCHOOL ZONE AT 15 MILES PER HOUR. DRIVER WAS ON HER PHONE AND WASN'T LOOKING WHEN TURNING LANES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WERE SEVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUPERIOR HONDA OF OMAHA (402-408-1000, LOCATED AT 4111 S 144TH ST, OMAHA, NE 68137) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE HARNESS THE CONTACT INSTALLED TO STABILIZE THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STOOD BY THE DEALER'S OBSERVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,500. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

ON APRIL 20, 2019 MY HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK WAS HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. ONLY THE PASSAGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED

OIL DILUTED WITH FUEL (3/4" ABOVE THE FULL MARK ON THE DIPSTICK) - THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S 1.5 TURBO ENGINE (CIVIC, CRV). OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE HAVE REPORTED THEIR VEHICLES STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH -- DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRIC STEERING LOCKED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL SEEMED TO LOCK AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I WAS TURNING AND I ALMOST SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD. MOST OF THE TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE A LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND IT FEELS LOOSE. THE STEERING ALSO GIVES ME PROBLEMS WHEN I PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE I CAN'T ESTIMATE HOW MUCH I HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE GEAR HAD TO QUICKLY BE SHIFTED INTO PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE HOLD INDICATOR FLASHED WITHOUT THE CONTACT ACTIVATING THE FEATURE. THE BUTTON HAD TO BE MANUALLY PRESSED TO PREVENT THE WARNING INDICATOR FROM FLASHING. THE CONTACT HAD TO DISENGAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO MANEUVER THE BRAKE PEDAL AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2018 HONDA CIVIC, HATCHBACK SPORT TOURING. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE CAR, I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH AND STAYED ON.. HAD THE CAR JUMPED, AND IT STARTED. ON MY ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME, THE CAR WAS PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT AND I HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT. THE CAR WAS PICKED UP BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. SO, I RESEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND A RECALL A RECALL (#18V663000) FOR THE ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. I INPUT MY VIN#, BUT IT CAME BACK WITH ZERO RECALLS. ALTHOUGH MY VIN WAS NOT EFFECTIVE, I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUES DESCRIPTED.

MY CAR JUST LAST SATURDAY HAS STARTED DRAINING LIGHT BLUE FLUID,AND I WAS TOLD IT IT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE BLOCK. THE DEALERSHIP I BROUGHT THE CAR TO SAYS THAT HONDA SENT A NOTICE TO HONDA OWNERS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITHIN A SPECIFIC YEAR RANGE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IN ITS ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA DID EXTENT THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 AS CERTIFIED USED CAR IN A HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND BEING A SECOND OWNER, I NEVER GOT ANY SAFETY CONCERNS OR RECALLS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE BY ANY MEANS (MAIL, CALL, EMAIL). I NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, WHICH HONDA KNEW ALL ALONG. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THEY DENY WORKING ON MY CAR AS IT IS OVER 10 YEARS WARRANTY FROM ITS ORIGINAL PURCHASE, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR ONLY HAS 66000 MILEAGE ON IT. MY CAR PROBABLY DID JUST SHOW SIGNS LATE BECAUSE OF ITS LOW USAGE.

WE PURCHASED A 2018 HONDA CIVIC SPORT HATCHBACK IN LATE SPRING OF LAST YEAR. WHILE DRIVING IT IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, IT CONSISTENTLY COLLECTS SNOW AND ICE IN THE WHEEL WELLS TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS ACTUALLY CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE INNER WHEEL WELL AND CAUSES CONSISTENT RUBBING AND BURNING SMELLS DUE TO THE ICE RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE. THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP (GARBER HONDA IN ROCHESTER) AND THE AUTO MANUFACTURER (AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE COMPANY) IS THAT THIS IS DUE TO 'OUTSIDE INFLUENCES' AND IS THEREFORE NOT COVERED BY THEM. THE ISSUE IN QUESTION IS REGARDING THE MATERIAL DESIGN AND THE INABILITY TO ACTUALLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS IN WESTERN NEW YORK. THE INNER WHEEL WELL IS MADE OF SOME TEXTURED, ALMOST 'CLOTH LIKE' MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS FOR SNOW AND ICE TO STICK AND BUILD UP VERY QUICKLY. AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES IN SNOWY CONDITION, WE NEED TO PULL OVER TO TRY AND KNOCK SOME OF THE SNOW OFF SO THAT IT DOESN'T RUB AGAINST THE TIRE. THE COLLECTION OF ICE AND NOW HAS ACTUALLY RIPPED OFF THE INNER WHEEL WELL ON ONE SIDE AND IS STARTING TO AFFECT THE OTHER SIDE. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE TO ANYONE DRIVING IN SNOW. WHILE DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITION, MY CONCERN IS FOR THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE WAY THAT IT AFFECTS THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SOUGHT OUT ADVICE FROM BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA REGARDING ADDING DIFFERENT RIMS AND TIRES, BUT THEY HAVE COME BACK AND SAID

HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER CRASH ON FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WAS STOPPING AND GOING BETWEEN 5 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE MY CAR WAS ON NEUTRAL THEN I HIT CAR IN FRONT OF ME MY BUMPERS AND GRILL PLUS SAFETY BUMPER BAR WAS BENT INTO RADIATOR, FRONT VEHICLE HAD SMALL DENT PLUS BUMPER DAMAGE MY FRONT CAR WAS TOTALED. BUMPERS ARE CLIP ONS THEY CAN FALL AT ANY MOMENT.

SUSPECTED OIL DILUTION... RECENT DEALERSHIP OIL CHANGE, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE VOLUME OF "OIL" WAS APPROX. 1/2 INCH OVER THE TOP OF THE DIP STICK MEASUREMENT SECTION. DEALER RE-DID THE OIL CHANGE TWO WEEKS LATER, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO OBSERVE. THE OIL DOES HAVE A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE... COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR RELATED TO INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION.

2018 HONDA CIVIC PARKED ON AN INCLINE. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE AND GOING INSIDE HOME, SPONTANEOUSLY ROLLED DOWN HILL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND DID NOT ROLL IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAPPEN SOMETIME AFTER ENTERING THE RESIDENCE. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS HAS OCCURED WITH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE HONDA CORPORATION SINCE 2016. 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS SEEM TO BE THE VEHICLE MODELS/YEARS AFFECTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK WHEN THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT WAS ABOUT 60 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS WERE ON. THE GLASS WAS STILL IN NEW CONDITION. THERE IS NO REAL EXPLANATION. AMONG THE WITNESSES WAS THE SALES MANAGER TO THE DEALERSHIP. EVEN WITH THAT, THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSED TO TREAT IT AS A WARRANTY REPAIR.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2018 HONDA CIVIC SPORT HATCHBACK ON BASE AS HE IS IN THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD WHEN HE CAME TO A BEND IN THE ROAD. HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, THEN HEARD AND FELT A POP AND THE CAR BECAME UNABLE TO BE STEERED IN THE DIRECTION THAT HE WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR WENT LEFT EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TRYING TO TURN RIGHT INTO THE BEND. HE WENT ACROSS THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY HE WAS UNHURT. THERE WERE OTHERS WHO WITNESSED THIS BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING IN A MILITARY CONVOY AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED. THE NHTSA HAS ISSUED A RECALL #18V663000 FOR 2018-1017 HONDA CIVIC'S ON SEPT. 27, 2018 FOR THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON; UNFORTUNATELY, HIS VIN HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE BOTH BEEN INFORMED OF THIS ACCIDENT AND AN ISSUE REPORT WAS FILED WITH HONDA BY US DETAILING WHAT HAPPENED. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT PAY TO OPEN UP THE POWER STEERING GEARBOX TO SEE IF THE MAGNET ON MY SON'S CAR DID IN FACT BECOME DISLODGED AS IN THE OTHERS. WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO INVESTIGATE AND SINCE WE ARE LOSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ALREADY BECAUSE THEY'VE DEEMED THE CAR TOTALED, WE ARE UNABLE TO INVESTIGATE IT ON OUR OWN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS TO SEE IF OTHER VIN NUMBERS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL! MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR HE COULD HAVE KILLED SOME

2018 HONDA CIVIC - EX-L INFOTAINMENT SCREEN (RADIO, HEAT, NAVIGATION SYSTEM, A/C, ETC CONTROLS TOUCHSCREEN) WILL FLASH OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING INCLUDING DURING BACKUP CAMERA AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM USE. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND NOT PREDICTABLE. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TWO RE-FLASHES OF THE SOFTWARE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE STATES THAT THE ISSUE HAS NO RESOLUTION AND WILL DO NOTHING FURTHER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE AND MAY HAVE A FIX AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

EXCESS FUEL IS ENTERING THE ENGINE OIL WHICH IS DILUTING THE OIL AND CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR.

ON 11/28/2018, I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND THE AIR BAG IN MY CAR DEPLOYED WITH NO REASON. I SENT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED BECAUSE THEY FOUND A DENT ON THE REAR CONTROL ARM WHICH I FOUND HARD TO BELIEVE. WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, THERE WAS NO COLLISION, I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY, SO THERE IS SURELY NO BUMPS ON THE ROAD. EVEN IF THEY FOUND A DENT ON THE CAR, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THE DENT IS MADE ON THE SAME DAY THAT THE AIR BAG POPS UP. HYPOTHETICALLY IT CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, IT JUST MEANS THE CAR HAS DESIGN PROBLEMS BECAUSE SCRATCHING THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR CAN HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. IT IS TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT WILL TRIGGER THE AIR BAG TO EXPLODE. THAT IS THE REASON I FEEL IT IS SUSPICIOUS AND IT IS NECESSARY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO PROVIDE THE INVESTIGATION RESULT REPORT, BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED. THEY CLAIM THE REPORT WILL ONLY BE PROVIDED TO THE INSURANCE BECAUSE MY INSURANCE HAD PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH MY INSURANCE AND THEY DID NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING EXCEPT THE ESTIMATION, MEANING THE DEALER IS STILL HOLDING THE INVESTIGATION RESULT AND DID NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE.

ACCIDENT

HONDA CIVIC 2018 MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BUMPING THE KEYCHAIN WITH MY KNEE CAN ROTATE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TURNING OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A STANDARD SIZE KEY RING WITH A COUPLE CAR KEYS AND WORK/HOME KEYS. THEY DON'T HANG DOWN VERY FAR BUT DO SO FAR ENOUGH TO CONTACT MY KNEE WHEN DRIVING. WHEN IN MOTION, AS I SHIFT AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS MY KNEE PUSHES ON THE KEYS. ON THREE OCCASIONS, ALL ON CITY STREETS SO FAR, THIS PUSH HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO ROTATE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN OFF THE CAR.

HONDA CIVIC 2018 MANUAL TRANSMISSION. OCCASIONALLY, WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR THE GEARS WON'T FULLY ENGAGE. THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE DISENGAGED AND REENGAGE AND THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NUETRAL AND BACK INTO GEAR BEFORE THE GEARS WILL SEAT PROPERLY.

TIRE BLOW OUT CAUSING CAR TO GO OVER CURB. LOSS OF LEFT TWO TIRES FRONT AND BACK AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WAS MERGING FROM ONE HIGHWAY TO ANOTHER. TIRES WERE CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT 215 /50

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE SUN ROOF AND THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED TO CHANGE INTO ANY GEAR FROM PARK. THE DEALER (NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE HUNTINGTON BEACH, 19131 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92648, (714) 842-5431) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THERE WAS A WARRANTY THAT APPLIED TO THE FAILURE AND WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

I'VE BEEN SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE ONLY DURING START UP AND ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE CAR IS PARKED IN A HEATED PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE SMELL OCCURS AND IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN OUTSIDE IN A PARKING LOT AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN ALSO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS WHEN YOU OPEN THE HOOD WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.

AT 4400 MILES ON THE 2018 CIVIC HATCHBACK 1.5 L (APPROX 4 MOS) THE VEHICLE LOST POWER MOMENTARILY WHILE ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND HAD A STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. A CHECK OF THE OIL SHOWED THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY OVERFILLED WHEN PREVIOUS CHECKS DID NOT. HONDA DEALER (IDE HONDA, ROCHESTER, NY) REPLACED THE OIL AND OFFERED NO CORRECTIVE ACTION OR INFORMATION.

WITHIN ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS OF BUYING A NEW HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK 2 OF THE CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TIRES STARTED DEVELOPING BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALL. THE BE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT WITH TWO MILES ON IN AND NO MAJOR BUMPS OR POT HOLES HAVE BEEN HIT. REPLACING ALL TIRES SINCE IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE OTHER TWO GET THE BUBBLES AS WELL AND DON'T WANT AN ACCIDENT IF ONE BLOWS. NOT HAPPY CONSIDERING THE CAR NOW HAS LESS THAN 8000 MILES AND LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND ALREADY HAVING TO REPLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUNDGREN HONDA OF AUBURN (163 WASHINGTON ST, AUBURN, MA 01501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A MOUSE CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRE HARNESS. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,300. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

RODENTS ATE THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WIRES. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN POWER STEERING LOSS OCCURRED. HE COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND OR KILLED. AMERICAN HONDA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING!!

CHANGED OIL AT 40 % LIFE AND FOUND GASOLINE IN OIL NOT SURE HOW MUCH BUT VERY STRONG ODER.

ON SEPTEMBER 15 2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN A SOLO VEHICLE CRASH I FELL ASLEEP AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE DIRECTLY FROM BEHIND RESULTING IN ME BEING PROPELLED FORWARD INTO THE AIR BAG THAN PUSHED BACK BY THE AIRBAG IN THE SEAT...I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT BUT THE SEAT BRACKET BENT FORWARD DURING COLLISION PUSHING ME INTO AIRBAG CAUSING SERIOUS CHEST CONTUSIONS AND INFLAMMATION OF LOWER BACK. AFTER THE CRASH SEAT COULD NOT BE MOVED FORWARD OR BACKWARD AS THE BRACKET WAS BADLY BENT. I WAS ABLE TO GET PICTURES OF MY VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND WASH GOING TO RETURN TO PULL VEHICLE FROM TOW BUT HONDA PULLED IT OUT BEFORE I COULD AND ARE IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE.

AT 2025 MILES MY 2018 CIVICTHAT I HAD FOR 2ISH MONTHS STARTED SMELLING LIKE FUEL IN THE CAB. SO I LOOKED IT UP AND THE EARTH DREAMS MOTOR IS HAVING OIL DILUTION PROBLEMS AND IT IS BECOMING MORE COMMON. SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND FOUND MY CAR A QUART OVERFULL WITH FUEL IN MY OIL. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE IT A FREE OIL CHANGE AND SAID THAT THERE IS NO FIX ANDIT IS NORMAL. THE OIL VISCOSITY WILL DETERIORATE EVENTUAL LEAVING ME WITHA KNOCK OR DISABLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE A CRASH OR SICKNESS WHEN THE NOXIOUS GAS SMELL COMES BACK. I HAVE NOW PUT 450 MILES ON IT SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND AM SMELLING FUEL IN MY OIL AGAIN.

FUEL SMELL IN ENGINE OIL AND ENGINE OIL IS OVER FILLED ON DIPSTICK NOT LONG AFTER OIL CHANGE POSSIBLY DUE TO FUEL DILLUTION INTO OIL

THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS COVER COMPOSITION IS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS. SQUIRRELS CHEWED INTO THE HARNESS LEADING TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE ENTIRE HARNESS NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO THE SOY BASED WIRE COATING. THE FAILURE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE AT SPEED (APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC. SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS AT STARTING THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN ROUGH IDLE AND DANGEROUS HESITATION WHEN MERGING. LOCAL DEALER ADVISES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AFFECTING THE UK ASSEMBLED CIVIC HATCH BACK. ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT IS $900.00 AS THIS IS NOT COVERED BY HONDA.

WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET (SPEED LIMIT 35) WHEN SUDDENLY NEITHER THE BRAKES NOR STEERING WORKED. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WAS HYDROPLANING, BUT THE ROADS WERE NOT WET AND IT WASN'T RACING. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. FINALLY THE STEERING REENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE THE CAR SO I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD AND NOT GOING VERY FAST.

SIDE PASSENGER LANE WATCH CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T TURN ON CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE

I PURCHASED A HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK FROM WILLETT HONDA SOUTH IN MORROW, GA ON 8/29/2018. THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO THE MY HOME. THAT DISTANCE BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND MY HOME IS LESS THAN 20 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ON 8/30/2018, AND I SPENT APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS IN THE AT THE WILLETT HONDA WAITING FOR THE REPAIR. THE SAME WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER THE CAR WAS REPAIRED. WILLETT HONDA SENT A LOANER CAR TO MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICHLE FOR ONE DAY, 8/31/2018. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL 9/5/2018. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. ROTATING THE TIRES AND ADJUSTING THE AIR IN THE TIRES IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I SAT NEXT TO A LADY WITH HER CAR IN THE SHOP AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING THE HONDA, THE WARNING LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED, BUT I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE A BRAND NEW VEHICHLE BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHOP. THE CAR WAS NOT DISCOUNTED TO ME FOR HAVING A FAULTY SYSTEM INSTALLED INTO THE CAR BY HONDA.

HAD TO HAVE TO MANY OIL CHANGES, ALMOST ONE A MONTH , NOT GOOD ON THE MILAGE THEN A CAMRY MAYBE WOULD HOLD OFF THAT MANY CHANGES.

ON THE AFTERNOON OF 8/21/2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) TO PICK UP MY SON FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AS I WAS MOVING THROUGH THE CAR RIDER LINE (WHICH IS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE), I TURNED ON THE BRAKE HOLD ASSIST FEATURE SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I'M WAITING IN LINE. AS MY SON IS ENTERING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THE CAR STARTS ROLLING FORWARD. AS I TURN FORWARD AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES, THERE IS A YOUNG BOY AN INCH AWAY FROM MY BUMPER. THEN LIGHTS APPEAR ON MY DASH DISPLAY INDICATING THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO). THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT BOTH MY SON AND THE CHILD IN FRONT OF MY CAR COULD BOTH HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. IF HONDA'S BRAKE HOLD ASSIST FEATURE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FAIL SUDDENLY IN THIS FASHION, IT SHOULD NOT BE A FEATURE IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. IT PROVIDES DRIVER'S WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT THEIR BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, BUT WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS THE BRAKE SUDDENLY DISENGAGES ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY.

THE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SEAT CONFIGURATIONS OF THESE HONDA CIVICS CAUSE SEVERE BACK PAIN, AS DIAGNOSED BY MY DOCTOR AND CHIROPRACTOR. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR SIX WEEKS AND HAVE SPENT > 20 HOURS GETTING XRAYS, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND VARIOUS RE-ALIGNMENT TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THE UNSAFE AND HARMFUL CONFIGURATION OF THESE SEATS. PER THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THEY STATED THAT THESE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SEAT SHAPES COMPLY WITH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAGS. HOWEVER, NHSTA AND OTHERS HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE "HYPOTHETICAL WHIPLASH", THEY ARE PROMOTING ACTUAL, WIDESPREAD, SEVERE DAMAGE TO DRIVERS.

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM WALDORF HONDA ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2018. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE. ON APRIL 13, 2018, THE RED BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AS I WAS DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) YELLOW INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FRONT BUMPERS ON ALL 2016 TO 2018 HONDA CIVICS ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY, HOND AIS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS NO FIX FOR THIS. THESE BUMPERS COULD FLY OFF THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HURT OR KILL SOMEONE. HERE'S A LINK WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.CIVICX.COM/THREADS/FRONT-GRILLE-COMING-APART.3495/

(4 COMPLAINTS, ALL POSSIBLY ELECTRICAL) 1) KEY NOT DETECTED IN VEH ERROR, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, I HAVE THE KEY NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING AND NO LONGER IN A POUCH, MY CAR BEEPS AND SAYS "KEY NOT DETECTED IN THE VEHICLE) THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND FREEWAY. IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE BUT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. 2) BLUETOOTH IS NOT CLEAR ON THE PERSON SPEAKING TO ME'S SIDE. OTHER PERSON STATES AS WELL AS HONDA TECH LINE STATES IT IS UNCLEAR, MUFFLED, AND LOUD INTERFERENCE WITH MY VOICE HAPPENS WHILE USING BLUTOOTH. 3) CAR PLAY: DUE TO BLUETOOTH ISSUE I STARTED ONLY TAKING CALLS WHILE USING CAR PLAY. ONCE I STARTED USING I STARTED HAVING THE ISSUE OF IT STATING RANDOMLY AFTER BEING SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED"CAR PLAY NOT SUPPORTED" WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL IT WILL DISCONNECT AND I WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER TO ATTEMPT TO RECONNECT. RIGHT AFTER CAR PLAY WILL CONNECT AGAIN AND WORK UNTIL IT RANDOMLY DISCONNECTS AGAIN SAYING CAR PLAY NOT SUPPORTED. NOTE: WITH CAR PLAY AND BLUETOOTH ISSUE I HAVE TAKEN CAR INTO DLR MULTIPLE TIMES STARTING WITH THE DAY AFTER THE VEH WAS PURCHASED IN 1/29/2018 NO RESOLUTION SO FAR TO DATE. DLR HAS REPLACED MICROPHONE, AND STILL NO RESOLUTION AS OF YET 4) DRIVER WINDOW MAKES WEIRD SOUND LIKE IT IS COMING OFF THE TRACK, TOOK INTO DLR AND THEY REPLACED THE MOTOR FOR THE WINDOW, THE WINDOW STILL HAS ISSUE. ** I HAVE MORE PHOTOS OF RECORDS FROM TAKING VEH INTO DLRSHIP. BUT THIS FORM ONLY ALLOWS ME TO UPLOAD 5

MY REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. THE TIRE IS CRACKED AND AIR IS ESCAPING.NEW CAR BOUGHT ONLY TWO MONTHS TIRES SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING.

THE ISSUE IS WITH THE "ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION" (RDM)SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM MAY HAVE BEEN WORKING AS DESIGNED: BUT IF SO IT CREATED A CORRECTION THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE OCCURRED AT A POINT WHERE THE ROAD ABRUPTLY CHANGES FROM A SINGLE LANE TO A THREE-LANE ROAD. THE THREE-LANE ROAD HAS A SOLID DIVIDER BETWEEN THE THREE WEST-BOUND LANES AND THE THREE-EAST BOUND LANES. THE NORMAL PROCEDURE IS TO ENTER THE THREE-LANE GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD AND THEN MOVE TO THE RIGHT AS DESIRED TO GET INTO THE MIDDLE OR RIGHT-HAND LANE. IN OTHER WORDS THE SINGLE-LANE ROAD MERGERS INTO THE LEFT-HAND LANE IF YOU KEEP THE STEERING STRAIGHT AHEAD. AS I APPROACHED THE TRANSITION POINT THE RDM SUDDENLY PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT (CREATING ABOUT A 30 DEGREE CHANGE IN DIRECTION) AND APPLIED HEAVY BRAKING. IF THAT ACTION HAD OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A CAR ON MY RIGHT IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION. SINCE THERE WAS AN ABRUPT CHANGE IN LANE MARKINGS AND THE SOLID CENTER DIVIDER CLOSE AHEAD; I SUSPECT THE RDM INTERPRETED THAT SITUATION AS "I WAS ABOUT TO CRASH INTO SOMETHING". THE OWNER'S GUIDE SAYS IT WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT IT DID. BUT IN THIS CASE IT COULD HAVE REPLACED ONE TYPE OF CRASH WITH ANOTHER TYPE OF CRASH; OR MORE IMPOTENTLY CREATED A CRASH THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL !!
