STEERING
STARTED TO NOTICE SLIGHT STIFFNESS WITH NO VEERING IN STEERING ON SHORT COMMUTES TO WORK GOING HWY SPEED. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE LONGER TRIPS AND HIGHER SPEEDS, I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH STEERING SIGNIFICANTLY! THE STEERING IS NO LONGER HAVE THE GLIDING CONTROL LIKE NORMAL. NOW IT SEEMS MORE STIFF LIKE STICKING WHILE CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. WENT FROM A GLIDE STEER TO FORCEFULLY HAVING TO JERK STEERING BACK TO CONTROL IT (SIMILAR TO A STICKY BUTTON) BUT IT'S THE DARN STEERING WHEEL. SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO START HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ALL MAINTENANCE KEPT UP TO DATE IS A BIG ISSUE! THIS REALLY SUCKS AND I HAVE SEEN HOW MUCH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COST. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE' ON A BROAD SCALE (FEWER MILES AND HIGHER MILES HONDA) THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. NOT A CONSUMER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE!

STEERING
I HAVE A 2016 CIVIC LX 2 DOOR. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING FEELS VERY STRANGE. IT FEELS ALMOST NOTCHY OR STICKY LIKE THERE IS SOME SORT OF BIND OR SOMETHING. I'LL BE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND GO TO ADJUST FOR A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND FEEL RESISTANCE AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAVE TO USE SLIGHT FORCE TO OVERCOME IT RESULTING IN THE CAR TO OVERCORRECT AND JERK SIDEWAYS. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT SOME AND IT SEEMS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ( HTTPS://WWW.CIVICX.COM/FORUM/THREADS/STEERING-IS-STIFF-AND-NOTCHY-FEELING.14767/ ) ( HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2016/STEERING/STEERING.SHTML ). FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT GETS ANY WORSE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM VERY CERIUM IN MY HONDA CIVIC 2017, IT IS ABOUT ACCELERATION, IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE GOING ON THE FREEWAY THROUGH THE CARPOOL AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVER IN FRONT STOPS IF YOU TRY TO BRAKE BUT ONCE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REACH TO BRAKE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT BUT YOUR CAR AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATING DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND YOU AS YOU RELEASED THE BREAKERS YOU STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FOR 5 SECONDS WITH CARS GOING AT 70 MPH WELL THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY MANY ALMOST ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY, LUCKILY NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS ALTHOUGH BOTH OF US HAVE FELT THAT LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN YOU NEED IT AND THE WORST THING IS THAT THE MECHANICS AND AGENTS OF THE DEALER MAKE FUN OF ONE TELLING ME THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OR THAT MY MAT WAS POORLY ACCOMMODATED OR THAT THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE FELT THE FAULT BUT THE LAST ONE ON THE PAPER SAYS THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND JUST DO AN "UPDATE" WHEN MY LIFE AND MY WIFE'S LIFE HAVE BEEN AT RISK MORE THAN 1 TIME, I BRING MY CAR 10 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND I ALWAYS RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER AND THIS LAST TIME MY WIFE BRING THE CAR AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS WAS TO DO GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON ALL FLUIDS WITH COSTS ABOVE $ 800 BECAUSE THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THAT EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, FOR MY PART I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND AFTER REVIEWING IT HE TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS NONSENSE, ALL THE FLUIDS WERE CLEAN. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO RECOMMEND FLUID CHANGE OR MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN THINGS WITHOUT NO REASON AND EFFECTIVELY THE PAPER THAN THE DEALER GAVE ME HAS NO REASON WHY THEY WANTED TO SELL ALL THAT TO MY WIFE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR AND DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM DRIVING, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL, MY WHOLE CAR JARS FORWARD LIKE IT IS MY TRANSMISSION AND IT MISSED A GEAR. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I DROVE IT HOME FROM PURCHASING IT. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS BECAUSE MY SON IS IN THE BACK SEAT AND HE CAN TELL EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS BECAUSE HIS HEAD JOLTS FORWARD. *TR

STEERING
STEERING BINDS FORCING DRIVER TO EXERT EXTRA FORCE CAUSING OVERSTEER. A CLUNKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DETECTED DURING A DRIVE BETWEEN HOUSTON AND AUSTIN MAY 2019 AND WAS NOTICEABLE ONLY WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES AND HIGHER SPEEDS, IN PARTICULAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALER IN JUNE 2019 WHO IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (40 MONTHS, 46K MILES), I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH THEY DISCOUNTED FROM $3,800 TO $900. I OPTED NOT TO MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE I BELIEVE HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND SINCE THEN THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE, OCCURRING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AT ANY SPEED WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 80F. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AS IT HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK ONE OR TWO TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE ORIGINALLY CAME OUT, BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATEST PART NUMBER IS 53650-TBC-A22. HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I WILL BE REPAIRING AS IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW AND I BELIEVE IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AIR CONDITIONER ON DRIVER'S SIDE NOT COOLING/BLOWING WARM AIR. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND SYSTEM SLIGHTLY LOW, AND FOUND AC COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING. COST TO REPAIR IS $1900.00. OUR 2016 HONDA CIVIC HAD 33K MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE COMPRESSOR LEAKING IS A COMMON PROBLEM! THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A CAR WITH 33K MILES ON IT!!! I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND EXPECT HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE COMPRESSOR/COOLING SYSTEM FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THIS SYSTEM HAS NOT LIVED UP TO THE REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF RELIABILITY OF HONDA CARS, AND THAT AN AC COMPRESSOR SHOULD LAST MORE THAN JUST A FEW YEARS WITH LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS WELL BEYOND WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! I AM DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET THAT HONDA SO FAR HAS NOT DONE THE RIGHT THING IN ADDRESSING A KNOWN DEFECT AND DOING RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC WHEN MANY HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED OR FINANCIALLY IMPACTED. DO THE RIGHT THING HONDA!! COVER THIS REPAIR UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY!!! *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES THE STEERING STARTS "STICKING". IT IS NOT SMOOTH AND RESULTS IN OVERCORRECTING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SORT OF UNSTICK IT TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN ANY CAR BUT CAN SEE FROM REPORTS ON THE INTERNET THAT IT'S A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JAN 2020 AND HAVE ONLY DRIVE A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES SINCE THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
