ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR WOULD CUT OUT WHILE IN MOTION DURING A TURN. (IT LOOKS LIKE I'M STALLING). OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND FEEL THE CARE LOSING POWER THE MORE I PUSHED ON THE GAS. ONCE I LET MY FOOT OFF IT WOULD HAVE POWER TO GO AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHILE ON CITY STREETS THEN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IN MARCH, WHEN I WENT TO START CAR THE CAR DASHBOARD WENT MAD FLASHING AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE CAR. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL. I NOTICE THAT THE NEWER VEHICLES ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND WONDER IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON JUNE 13TH, LESS THEN A MONTH AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED/SERVICED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 21ST, MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR BUSTS UP IN FLAMES. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD ON A CLEAR DAY GOING ABOUT 65, A SPARK FLEW FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY WE PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO WATCH THE CAR GO UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODE. I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THEIR SERVICE TEAM, HONDA FINANCIAL, HONDA GENERAL, AND THE HONDA PLANT IN INDIANA. EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS SHOWN NO COMPASSION OR INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS? AND MY INSURANCE IS TAKING THEIR TIME SINCE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.

STEERING
I BOUGHT A 2017 HONDA CIVIC BACK IN DEC OF 2016 AND CURRENTLY, HAVE ABOUT 15,00 MILES ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START BEING STICKY, STIFF AND JERKY. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE THIS SUBTLE MOVEMENTS, IT WOULD CAUSE RESISTANCE. THIS WAS NOT FREQUENT BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD SHOW UP OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO 3 DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE HAD 2 ALIGNMENTS ON MY CAR BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. THE STICK/JERK PULL WOULD START AT ABOUT 30/40 MILES INTO MY DRIVE AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WOULD CAUSE ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. READING CIVIC FORMS, MANY ARE SAYING CIVIC HAS THE EPS RACK SO THAT'S CAUSING THIS JERKY PULL. *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGINS TO DRIFT EVER SO SLIGHTLY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WHEN I GO TO CORRECT, THE STEERING WHEEL RESISTS. IT DOESN'T FREEZE BUT IT SORT OF "STICKS" UNTIL I APPLY A BIT MORE PRESSURE, AFTER WHICH IT SUDDENLY RELEASES, CORRECTS, AND ACTS COMPLETELY NORMAL. MOMENTS LATER HOWEVER, IT DRIFTS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, AND I AM FORCED TO REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. END RESULT IS I BEGIN DRIFTING SLIGHTLY BACK AND FORTH DOWN THE HIGHWAY REPEATEDLY, ALL THE WHILE FIGHTING WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO LET GO THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE HIGHER AROUND 80+ DEGREES F. *TR

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR CONDITIONING IS BLOWING HOT AIR! THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS ONLY 22832. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & THEY SAID THE CONDENSER IS DAMAGED & THE COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING DUE TO "ROAD DAMAGE". CALLED HONDA CORPORATE FOR THIS SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THEIR HONDA CIVICS 2015-2019 ABOUT A FAULTY COMPRESSOR GETTING HOLES PUNCTURED IN CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK OUT AND THEY ALSO DENIED THE PAYMENT CLAIMING A ROCK HIT MY CAR AND CAUSED THE CONDENSER TO GET DAMAGED. CLEARLY HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS FAULTY COMPRESSOR AND RECALL THE CARS OR JUST PAY FOR THE AC TO BE FIXED INSTEAD OF CHARGING CUSTOMERS $2300 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT CAN OCCUR AGAIN! THERE ARE EVEN LAWSUITS AGAINST HONDA FOR THIS ISSUE! *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY / INTERSTATE. STEERING WILL MAKE A SUDDEN PULL/JERK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT CAUSING TO OVERCOMPENSATE. IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS STICKING/CATCHING. IT IS NOT AS NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER IN-TOWN DRIVING, BUT STILL HAPPENS. I RESEARCHED SYMPTOMS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED, BUT MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALLS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH THIS HAPPENING. I NOTICED THAT THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. (MAY,2020) MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING 50 MPH PLUS (+). *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON A WARM DAY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING BECOMES VERY NOTCHY WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. WHEN DRIVING, THERE IS CONSTANT MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO BE MADE TO GO STRAIGHT, HOWEVER, EACH TIME I TRY TO MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK SO I AM SLIGHTLY DRIFTING LEFT OR RIGHT. TO REALIGN MYSELF, I HAVE TO JAR THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT TO GET IT OUT OF THIS STUCK POSITION WHICH CAUSES ME TO GO TOO FAR AND TOWARDS OTHER LANES. ESSENTIALLY I AM DRIVING ZIG ZAG THE ENTIRE TIME TRYING TO STAY IN A LANE.
