ENGINE LEAKING COOLANT HONDA DEALER SAID BLOCK IT CRACKED. FOUND OUT LATER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 TO 2009. HONDA DEALER NOR HONDA CORP EVER NOTIFIED ME. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD AND SERVICED MY CAR JUST RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK. I HAVE BEEN RIDING HONDA'S BEFORE I WAS DRIVING THEM GOING BACK THE THE 60'S. I HAVE TWO HONDA CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY NOW. MY COMPLAINT IS MORE THE THE COMPANY AND DEALER THEN WITH THE PRODUCT. I COULD NOT SELL THIS CAR TO ANYBODY NOW NOR SHOULD HAVE YOU. I STILL BELIEVE YOU MAKE A DEPENDABLE AND DURABLE PRODUCT BUT AM NO LONGER A ONE STOP SHOPPER.

ENGINE
AT 85,000 MILES, MY ENGINE BLOCKED CRACKED IN ONE OF THE 4 SPOTS IDENTIFIED BY HONDA ENGINEERS IN THEIR OWN SERVICE BULLETIN (10-048). MY CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE-KEPT AND RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED IN TERMS OF SERVICE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. MY PRIMARY ISSUE (AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER) IS THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2015 HONDA CIVIC; 50,000 MILES. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS AND MANUAL HEADLIGHTS EMIT A SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES. IN ESSINCE, WHEN THE HEADLITES ARE ON, THE SOUND IS ON 100%. SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS SHARED SAME ISSUE ON THE HONDA FORUM AND SHARED SEVERAL POSSIBLE CAUSES. ONE OF WHICH WAS SMALL CRACKS IN THE SODER WITHIN THE MODULE.

ENGINE
CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND HONDA WOULD REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY IF IT WAS LEAKING. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND ENGINE BLOCK STARTS LEAKING. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. ALL OF THESE AFFECTED ENGINES SHOULD BE REPLACED NOW!!! OR HONDA SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK. NOW I'M WITHOUT A CAR AND STILL OWE MONEY. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $6,000 TO REPLACE THIS ENGINE. I CAN AFFORD 10%, BUT HONDA WILL NOT EVEN OFFER ANY DISCOUNT TO REPLACE AN INFERIOR PRODUCT THAT THEY KNEW HAD PROBLEMS.

STEERING
STICKY STEERING WHEEL. SUBTLE MOVEMENTS CAUSE RESISTANCE AND FORCE ME TO JERK THE STEERING WHEEL IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 30-40 MINUTES. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2016.

STEERING
STEERING THE CAR IS DIFFICULT. WHEN THE CAR DRIFTS OR YOU TURN THE CAR IN EITHER DIRECTION THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVER CORRECT TO BREAK FREE THE STICKING SENSATION OR CAUSES YOU TO DRIFT EXCESSIVELY TO EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT. CONTROLLING THE CAR TAKES MORE FORCE THAN IT SHOULD REQUIRE AND I STILL CAN'T ENSURE I CAN DRIVE IT SAFELY. CAR IS A 2016 AND I'VE READ SEVERAL OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX BY CHANGING OUT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR ($1550) BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

#11266893October 7, 2019
STEERING
WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS KEEPING A STRAIGHT TRAJECTORY ABOVE 55 MPH THERE IS A "STICKY POINT" IN THE STEERING. WHEN LIGHTLY MOVING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT YOU ENCOUNTER A POINT OF RESISTANCE, STEERING THROUGH THE RESISTANCE FORCES AN OVER COMPENSATION MAKING A ZIGZAG STYLE OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. IMPORTANT THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT SELF CENTER EVEN IF YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO STEER BACK THROUGH THE POINT OF RESISTANCE TO RE-CENTER THE WHEEL. THE HONDA PART NUMBER BEING REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS 53650-TBA-A01
