SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKES WILL BE STUCK (I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKE) WHEN I SUDDENLY PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDLY. I HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA ONCE I DID ONLINE SURVEY. TODAY, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT APPLY BRAKE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE STREET. THE BRAKE WORKS FINE AFTER THE ACCIDENT IF I PRESS THE PEDAL SLOWLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T COUPE SHUTS DOWN MY DIGITAL SCREEN AND AUDIO SYSTEM WITH THE MESSAGE "AMP IS IN PROTECTION MODE" THIS THEN MAKES ANY HANDS FREE DEVICES TURN COMPLETELY OFF FROM THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN MY STATE, CELL PHONES AND ANY OTHER FORM OF ELECTRONICS ARE NOT PERMITTED. SO WHEN BEING ON THE PHONE OR USING GPS IT SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN AND THATS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I RECENTLY WENT TO MANY HONDA DEALERS AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY TOLD ME HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND THAT THEY RECALLED THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT SINCE THEY DIDN'T RECALL THE 2017 HONDA CIVICS THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS PROBLEM IS STRESSING ME OUT BECAUSE I CAN'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON MY GPS OR ANSWER IMPORTANT CALLS IF NEEDED. ALSO I WENT TO AUDIO TECHS WHO TOLD ME THIS IS THE MOST BIZARRE SITUATION THEY'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR FOR ME TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY ON MY NEW CAR (ONLY OWNED FOR 3 MONTHS). I AM ALSO A FIRST TIME BUYER AND THIS MAKES ME REGRET EVER BUYING A CAR! THE VEHICLE IS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE MESSAGE OCCURS AND THEN SHUTS OFF EVERYTHING. I EVEN GOT MY WHOLE AUDIO SYSTEM AND AMP TAKEN OUT FOR FURTHER TESTS AND NO-ONE SEEMS TO KNOW. IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP IN ANYWAY TO RECALL THE 2017 CIVICS WITH THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

CLEAR COAT FAILURE. NOTICEABLE CLEAR COAT FAILURE STARTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY CLAIM IT IS ONLY AN ISSUE ON 2005 AND LATER CIVICS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY ISN'T TRUE. CLEAR COAT FAILURE ON ROOF, TRUNK, AND ABOVE THE DOORS.

POWER TRAIN
I DRIVE A 2015 HONDA CIVIC AND I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND STARTED DRIVING, GOT TO ABOUT 15 MPH AND IT FELT LIKE I GOT A FLAT SO I STARTED TO PULL OVER AND REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER TO MY FRONT WHEELS NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I PUT IT IN. THERE WAS NO WARNING SUCH AS JERKY TRANSMISSION OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I NOTICED THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ONE THAT IS COVERED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V574000 AND I'M PRETTY SURE MY DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT IS BROKEN.

ENGINE
CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FLUID LOSS. A LARGE PUDDLE WAS OBSERVED UNDER THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THERE WAS A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS PAST THIS WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT THIS KIND OF ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAVE A CAP ON WHEN THE WARRANTY SHOULD END. THIS WAS A VERY WELL MAINTENANCED CAR WITH NO OTHER ISSUES.
