ENGINE
THIS CAR HAS THE INFAMOUS 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED EARTH DREAMS ENGINE FROM HONDA. EVEN AFTER THE PRODUCT UPDATE APPLIED TO THE CAR ON JAN 2019 WHILE IT WAS OWNED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT STILL HAS A HIGH AMOUNT OF OIL DILUTION ISSUE WHICH WILL SEVERELY IMPACT THE CAR IN THE LONG RUN. PARKING THIS CAR IN A GARAGE AFTER A DRIVE MAKES THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELL LIKE GAS. AND A POINT TO NOTE IS THAT IT'S SUMMER HERE IN OHIO NOW. AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND DRIVING A MERE DISTANCE OF 50 MILES ALREADY HAD DUMPED SO MUCH OF GAS INTO THE ENGINE THAT THE DIPSTICK HAD HIGH OIL LEVEL. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RESULTED NO RESOLUTION AS THEY INSISTED THAT IT'S NORMAL. IT'S NOT NORMAL TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE ENGINE SO I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THIS CAR.

AC WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. DEALER CHARGED $280 TO RECHARGE AC WITH DYE. AFTER A MONTH, THEY INSPECTED THE AC AND FOUND THE EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER LEAKING. CONDENSER IS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT, AND THEY QUOTED ME $1960 TO REPLACE IT. IT GETS VERY HOT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN AC DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

STEERING
AS DESCRIBED BY MANY OTHER LISTED COMPLAINTS, MY CAR'S STEERING STICKS OCCASIONALLY WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN IT IS STUCK IT REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO DO MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT HEADING. THE EXTRA EFFORTS CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN MAKING MINOR STEERING CORRECTIONS. THIS ISSUE STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 AND I'VE COMPLAINED A FEW TIMES DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS BUT ALWAYS RECEIVE THE RESPONSE THAT THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. BY THE AMOUNT OF FILED COMPLAINTS AND LISTED COMMENTS ONLINE IT OBVIOUSLY IS AN ISSUE. WE LOVE OUR HONDA CIVIC BUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE AMOUNT OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ALONE HAS CONVINCED ME TO NEVER BUY A CIVIC AGAIN. WE JUST RETURNED FROM A ROAD TRIP OF OVER 3100 MILES AND IT NEARLY DROVE ME NUTS SINCE IT CAUSED JERKY RECOVERIES DURING PROBABLY WELL MORE THAN 2500 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE DATE PROVIDED BELOW IS THE FIRST DAY OF OUR ROAD TRIP. AGAIN, THIS ISN'T A NEW ISSUE WITH THIS CAR...IT'S BEEN GOING ON NEARLY NON-STOP WITH DRIVING OVER 35-40 MPH SINCE 2016. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
EVERYTIME I START THE CAR I GET A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, I HAVE CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRE PRESSURES AND THE SPARE REPEATEDLY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I FILL THEM WITH THE CORRECT PRESSURE OR NOT THE TPMS DOES NOT STOP SIGNALING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. WARNING HAS NOT GONE AWAY SINCE IT CAME UP DESPITE CORRECTING PRESSURE BI-WEEKLY. CURRENTLY HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL BRAKE BY ITSELF BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND AROUND NEIGHBORHOODS (LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH) AND WITHOUT ANYONE IN FRONT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW ON 06/01/2015 FROM HONDA. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT IN THAT TIME. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE PAINT IS LITERALLY PEALING OFF THE CAR AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD. I WENT TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MANY HONDA, TOYOTA, KIA PRODUCTS WERE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PAINT ESPECIALLY IN WHITE.I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND APPARENTLY THE RECALL FOR THE PAINT ISSUE DOESN'T COVE MY PARTICULAR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. SO NOW AM LEFT WITH AN ONLY 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH PEALING PAINT. SO I HAVE TO INCUR THE REPAIR COSTS AND HOPE THAT MORE OF THE PAINT DOESN'T END UP COMING OFF. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT DOES NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IS TO MANUALLY PULL OUT THE KEY FROM THE KEY FOP AND INSERT IT INTO THE DOOR OR OPEN IT UP FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CURRENT KEY FOPS BECAUSE THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN 2 NEW KEY FOPS, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS CAN BE A HUGE ISSUE WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCESS THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND CAN'T EVEN GET INTO THE VEHICLE PROMPTLY. *TR
