STEERING
AFTER ABOUT 30-40MIN OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, USUALLY HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STICKY AND STIFF AT TIMES. FEEL REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANES AND OR MAKING SLIGHT CORRECTIONS IN MOVEMENT. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAS 16K MILES ON IT.

THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DOES NOT WORKIN MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC HAS A LEAKY CONDENSER. HONDA SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 2018 HONDA CIVICS AND A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OFFERED (TSB 19-091); HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT COVER THE VIN SERIES OF MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC. I WANTED TO LOG THIS ISSUE FOR OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS IT MAKES THE CAR PRETTY MUCH INOPERABLE ON HOT DAYS AND HONDA'S RESPONSE IS NONSENSICAL GIVEN THAT OTHER 2018 HONDA CIVICS ARE COVERED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS ISSUED AFTER I PAY FOR THE REPAIR THAT I WILL BE REIMBURSED.

STEERING
STEERING STARTS TO STICK ABOVE SPEEDS OF 45 MPH. WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT FROM CENTER WITHIN THE LANE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO STICK AND THEN JUMPS AND OVER-CORRECTS. I THEN HAVE TO COMPENSATE AND SHIFT THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND IT STICKS AND JUMPS AGAIN. IT MAKES THE CAR HARDER TO CONTROL/UNSTABLE AND YOU FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS BOPPING WITHIN THE LANE FROM THE MANY ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED TO CENTER THE CAR WITHIN THE LANE. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE IN IT'S SAFETY ANY LONGER.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED (60 - 70 MPH) MY STEERING BEGAN TO "STICK". IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE NORMAL SMALL STEERING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT THAT ARE NEEDED ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO STRAIGHT AND STAY IN YOUR LANE. THE STICKING REQUIRED ME TO USE MORE FORCE, WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE AND MORE LIKELY TO ACCIDENTALLY HIT SOMEONE. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON 4 OCCASIONS. IT HAPPENS ON HOT DAYS (85 - 90 F DEGREES) AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. ONCE IT STARTS, IT CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE DRIVING CONTINUES.

CAR CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF ON THE TRUNK AND ROOF IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. IN AREAS WHERE THE CLEAR COAT IS GONE, THE PAINT IS NOW COMING OFF. VEHICLE IS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC PURCHASED NEW IN 2011. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED IN 2018 APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY EXPIRED. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR COSTS AND SAID THERE WAS NO KNOWN PAINT DEFECT FOR MY VEHICLE YEAR/MODEL. THE PAINT IS DEGRADING AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 7 YEARS OLD. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER HONDA'S AND NEVER HAD A PAINT ISSUE. THE NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND FACEBOOK GROUPS DEDICATED TO HONDA PAINT PROBLEMS SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HONDA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ADDRESS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN FLORIDA AND WAS PREVIOUSLY IN ILLINOIS AND MARYLAND. THE CAR WAS TYPICALLY WASHED ONCE A MONTH AT A CAR WASH OR BY HAND AND WAXED AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED, I NO LONGER WASH THE EXTERIOR SINCE THAT EXACERBATES THE PAINT DEGRADATION.
