POWER TRAIN
ONLY HAVE 58,000 MILES ON MY CIVIC. THE ENGINE IS STALLING OUT AND SOMETIMES NOT MOVING WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS GOING FROM STATIONARY TO IN MOTION. THIS PARTICULARLY HAPPENS WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SHIFTING FROM STOPPED UP TO FIRST GEAR. IT HAS ALSO BEEN GIVING ME VERY LOW GAS MILEAGE.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE CARS POWER STEERING COLUMN WILL LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL . I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PEOPLE HELPED ME GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED I NEEDED TO UPDATE THE EPS. IT COST $70 AND MY SYSTEM SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. A MONTH LATER I WAS DRIVING AGAIN AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY LOCKED U AGAIN. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. IT RESET IT I GUESS CAUSE IT STARTED WORKING. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER VERY SLOW AND WAS TOLD I NEED AN EPS CONTROL UNIT SYSTEM AND IT WOULD BE AROUND $867 WITH LABOR. I'VE NOTICED TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME COMPLAINT AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I LEASED A HONDA CIVIC 2012-2015 , IN 2015 I BOUGHT THE CIVIC THAT I HAD LEASED FOR 3 YEARS. IN 2018 I STARTED TO NOTICE THE PAINT WAS LOOKING DULL IN CERTAIN SPOTS AND STARTING TO SHOW A WHITE RING LIKE I DUMPED SALT FOR MELTING ICE ALL OVER IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON GETTING MY CIVIC PAINTED AND THAT I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL ABOUT THE PAINT ISSUE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM ANYONE REGARDING THE PAINT COMING OFF OF MY CAR. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HONDA SEVERAL TIMES NOW TO TELL ME WHEN AND TO WHAT ADDRESS THE NOTICE WAS SENT AND TO EMAIL THE SUPPOSED NOTICE THAT WAS MAILED. NOBODY CAN ANSWER ME. SUPPOSEDLY IT'S THROUGH A 3RD PARTY WHICH THEY COULDN'T TELL ME THE NAME OF. I JUST PAID OFF MY 30,000 $ CAR THAT NOW IS WORTH MARBLES BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE. I CAN'T TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS HORRIBLE AND NOBODY WANTS A CAR THAT'S MISSING PAINT EVERYWHERE. IT'S NOW 2020, I WENT ONLINE TO INVESTIGATE AND TURNS OUT HONDA HAS BEEN SELLING THIS DEFECTIVE PAINT/CLEARCOAT TO PEOPLE FOR DECADES, SAYS THEY NOTIFIED THEIR CUSTOMERS, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT, AND TRIES TO MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU TO PAY MORE MONEY TO THEM ON A CAR THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD YOU TO BEGIN WITH. MY OFFER, FROM HONDA, WAS TO PAINT MY CAR, MINUS THE HOOD, FOR 600.00$ THEY NEED IT FOR 7-8 BUSINESS DAYS AND I HAVE TO GET AND PAY FOR MY OWN RENTAL. WHEN THEY GAVE ME THIS NONSENSE OFFER, THEY THEN TOLD ME I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO SCHEDULE OR THEIR OFFER WAS OFF THE TABLE AND I PAY FULL PRICE MYSELF WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM THEM. I WANT TO KNOW WHO , WHEN AND TO WHAT ADDRESS THIS SUPPOSED NOTICE ABOUT MY CAR LOOKING LIKE JUNK IN THE FUTURE WAS SENT. I WANT HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE IN FULL BECAUSE IT'S THEIR FAULT. I ALSO WANT TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH OTHERS GETTING SCREWED BY HONDA.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 30 AT 70 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION. I PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE TO CHECK MY TIRES AND FINALLY REALIZED THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS NOT RAINING, THERE WAS NOT A DUMP TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME, I WAS NOT ON MY PHONE OR DISTRACTED, I WAS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF THE BLUE. THERE WAS NO POINT OF IMPACT BELOW THE GLASS INSERT, BUT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER PARKING IN MY DRIVEWAY, PLACING THE PARKING BRAKE ON, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND EXISTING THE VEHICLE, MY PARKING BRAKE GAVE OUT ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. MY CAR ROLLED DOWN MY SHORT DRIVEWAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS CLOSE BY, HOPPED IN THE MOVING CAR AS IT REACHED MY STREET AND MANUALLY PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE. AS I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PARKING BRAKE SIGNAL SHOWED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS STILL ENGAGED. IT APPEARS THE PARKING BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOULD NOT (AND CANNOT) RELEASE. EVER. IF I WERE PARKED ON A PUBLIC STREET, I COULD HAVE HARMED ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN.

AIR BAGS
MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX JUST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING NOTIFICATION GOING OFF SPORADICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AFTER RUNNING IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER. IT WENT OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND NOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WITH OR WITHOUT PEOPLE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIT. I HAPPEN ONLY ONCE I START DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT TO MOVING. I'VE NOTICED THAT OTHER HONDA'S HAVE HAD SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WHEN SEARCHING THE NET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL IMPACT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I BELIEVE IT'S A SEAT SENSOR GONE BAD BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA. AFTER 20 MINUTES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55-65 MPH I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SEAMED TO BE STICKING IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.IF I HAD TO CORRECT LEFT OR RIGHT I WOULD HAVE TO USE FORCE AND IT WOULD SNAP AND JUMP ABOUT AN INCH CAUSING ME TO WEAVE INTO THE NEXT LANE. I PULL OFF AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO CHECK MY TIRES AND COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I NOTICED THAT AFTER I SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 40 MPH THE STEERING WORKED FINE, I GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE GOT UP TO SPEED AND IT STARTED STICKING AGAIN.GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TOOK BACK ROADS THE REST OF THE WAY THERE AND HOME. TOOK IT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WOULD NOT DO IT BUT NOW AFRAID TO TAKE LONG TRIPS FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NO RECALL.WHY DOE'S SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THINGS FIXED.

I PURCHASED THIS YEAR AFTER MY 3 YEAR LEASE WAS UP. WITHIN MONTHS, THE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. I FOUND OUT (ONLY BY LOOKING ONLINE) THAT THERE WAS A REPORTED ISSUE WITH THE AC CONDENSOR. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA, THEY CONFIRMED THAT IF IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN ISSUE NOT DUE TO DAMAGE, THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE ASSESSMENT ($150) AND THE REPLACEMENT. I TOOK IT IN, THE HONDA DEALER SAID YES, THE CONDENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ALSO THE COMPRESSOR AND FRONT SEAL, FOR A TOTAL OF NEAR $2000. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA BACK, THEY CALLED THE DEALER TO CONFIRM AND SIMPLY INFORMED ME THAT YES, I'D HAVE TO PAY. THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY SEEMS LESS LIKE A WAY OF ACKNOWLEDGING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, AND MORE AS A PLOY TO GET RECENT BUYERS OFF LEASE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HONDA DEALERS. I'VE SEEN MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE REPORT ONLINE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THE ENTIRE AC SYSTEM.
