SUSPENSION
AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH MY BRAND NEW 2020 HONDA CIVIC LX WITH ONLY 13 MILES ON IT I IMMEDIATELY HEARD A THUD COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE AS TIME WENT ON I STARTED HEARING CLICKING NOISES WHEN I WOULD TURN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THE SOUNDA COMING FROM THE FRONT END AND THE DEARLY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE NOISE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE SOUND HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY NOTICEABLE I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW AXEL. NOW I AM TOLD I HAVE TO DRIVE IT FOR ANOTHER 10-15 DAYS LIKE THIS DUE TO A NATIONAL BACK ORDER I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFTY. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I AM INVESTING IN AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THESE SAFTY ISSUES WHILE I AM ON THE ROAD TO WORK.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC IS DEFECTIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS DISINTEGRATING MAKING THE HAND GRIP ON THE WHEEL UNSAFE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN BY HONDA CORP FOR YEARS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THIS UNSAFE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO VEHICLE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT STATE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS OPERATION IS SAFE. HONDA STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE IF THE NHTSA DIRECTED A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. MY GRANDSON'S CAR IS A 2013 CIVIC WITH THE SAME ISSUE DISINTEGRATION AND GUMMY STICKY STEERING WHEEL. WHY WOULD THIS BE CONSIDERED A SAFE OPERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE? A SEARCH ONLINE WILL SHOW A NUMBER OF CIVIC OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THIS MODEL STEERING WHEEL AT THEIR OWN COST. I HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF HONDA'S TO INCLUDE CIVIC, PILOT, ACURA TL, ACCORDS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR ALL 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC'S, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE PURCHASING THIS AFFORDABLE CAR.

MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC HAS 43,000 MILES AND THE STARTER IS ALREADY BREAKING. I READ THAT THE 2013 ACCORD WAS RECALLED FOR THE STARTER BUT NOT THE CIVIC. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE SAME STARTERS WERE USED IN BOTH CARS, BUT THE CIVIC WAS NOT RECALLED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AS WELL, BUT HONDA TOLD ME THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THEM. HOWEVER, THEY SAY I AM RESPONSIBLE SO REPLACING THE STARTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HEAD UNIT/DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AT FIRST, NOTHING WOULD COME ON. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FUSE, OR IT NEEDED REBOOTED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO ACT UP. THE BACK-UP AND PASSENGER SIDE CAMERAS WON'T WORK PROPERLY, THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK AS I CAN'T CHANGE THE AIR FLOW OR TEMPERATURE, THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK OR CONNECT, AND THE AUDIO CONTROLS WON'T WORK OR ARE SEVERELY DELAYED. THIS CREATES MULTIPLE SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING: 1. THE AUDIO WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON, AND AT HIGH VOLUMES DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CONTROL THE VOLUME OR TURN IT ON OR OFF. 2. THE BACK-UP AND/OR SIDE CAMERAS WILL GET STUCK ON THE SCREEN, WHICH CREATES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. 3. THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO 'HANDS-FREE' LAWS IN MOST STATES. 4. THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK CORRECTLY AND, THEREFORE, I CANNOT USE THE FRONT DEFROST. WHEN TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM THAT IT WILL COST $4,000 TO REPLACE. $4,000 ON A 3-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WITH NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES.

THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN MY CAR AROUND 40K MILES. FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHERS I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND ITS THE AC COMPRESSOR. I KNOW 3 OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR AND ALL 3 OF THEIRS HAS WENT OUT BY 50K MILES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR!

AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL JAN. 2019. AC STOPPED WORKING BY JUNE, 2020. CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT WAS ON BACK-ORDER. OVER 5 WEEKS LATER, CONDENSER WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2020, BUT DEALER REPORTED COMPRESSOR WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $1,200. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER MORE THAN 30% OF THAT COST, ACCORDING TO BOTH A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND A HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE. THE COMPRESSOR IS ON BACK-ORDER, INDICATING THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS ARE FAILING. ALL THE ABOVE WORK AND DIAGNOSIS WERE PERFORMED BY HONDA DEALER THE AUTOMASTER, SHELBURNE, VT. THE CAR HAS UNDER 33,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE APPEARS TO BE A CLASS ACTION FOR THIS ISSUE, INITIATED IN CALIFORNIA, CASE 2:19-CV-10537, FILED DEC. 2019, US DISTRICT COURT FOR CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. HAVING NO AC IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN AT LEAST TWO WAYS: IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN A HOT CAR, AND A FOGGED WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VISION CAN'T BE CLEARED WITHOUT AC. HONDA SHOULD COVER THE FULL COST OF CORRECTING THESE SAFETY ISSUES.

THE CAR'S AIR COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I HAVE TO PAY $1400 TO FIX. I HAVE SEEN THE PART BE ON BACK ORDER FOR MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC, (ONLY 4 YEARS OLD). I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED PART SINCE THE CONDENSER IS ALREADY RECALLED AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY SPECIFIC TIME FRAME FOR REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING IT. I AM WRITING TO YOU AS I WAS ADVISED TO BRING IT UP TO NHTSA FOR SPEEDY RESOLUTION. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
