AIR BAGS
I WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDS AN INFLATOR BUT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. WHY DOES THIS CAR HAVE AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT IS NOT COVERED? 802 HONDA, IN MONTPELIER VT HAS REPLACED THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE TWICE AND EACH TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OUT BUT NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN THE SEAT WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME A REPAIR ESTIMATE (RANGE) OF $1,000 TO $1,500. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE COVERED BY RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VISORS WHICH FALL INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT WHEN DRIVING AS A RESULT OF SPLITTING APART WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED BUT THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION ON THAT RECALL. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD OR 16 AND REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE SO THIS TOO SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE EPS INDICATOR ALERTED THE CONTACT TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING ABILITY WHEN MANEUVERING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CLINTON HONDA (1511 US-22, ANNANDALE, NJ 08801, 908-735-0800, (908) 238-3933) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO EPS RECALL TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE EPS CONTROL UNIT AND UPDATED THE DTC 33-01FET (A SWITCH WITHIN THE STEERING RACK). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V548000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,859.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE POWER WINDOW (FRONT PASSENGER SIDE) AND SUNROOF ARE OPEN THAT THEY CAN NOT BE CLOSED. THE FIX IS TO STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT AND THEN RAISE THE WINDOW WITH THE SWITCH ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THAT SEEMS TO RESET IT. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF A PROBLEM OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND THEREFOR DO NOTHING. WHEN YOU ASK HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE ARE COUNTLESS ENTRIES ON VARIOUS AUTO BLOGS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES, AND THE SOLUTION I MENTIONED ABOVE SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX. HONDA DOES NOTHING TO TRY TO REPAIR THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES SLIDE (VIBRATE A LITTLE) THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS OCCUR BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS OBVIOUSLY FELT WHILE USING THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING DRIVING. THERE IS ALSO A NOISE WHEN I INITIALLY START MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT IS THE BRAKE LIGHT ALERT.

STEERING
WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AROUND 60 TO 75 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS. I NEED TO JERK IT BACK TO POSITION. IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 30 MINS. ALREADY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES IN IN THE PAST 2 YEARS BUT THEY CANT SEEM TO "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS GETTING WORSE. CAR HAS 34000 MILES ON IT.

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC EX-T WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 2016. IN LESS THAN 40,000 MILES, MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BLOWS HOT AIR. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP REPLACING THE AC UNIT. THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK AND I AM SURE REFRIGERANT IS NOT A SAFE CHEMICAL TO BE LEAKING OUT IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL REEL ASSEMBLY MAKES A CLICK SOUND WHICH IS AN IN DICTATION OF INADEQUATE LUBRICATION. THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF CAN NOT BE RELUBRICATED AS THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS SEALED. HONDA WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASTY THE INCORPORATES THE ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, TECHNICIANS ARE STATING THAT THIS IS UNNEEDED AND NORMAL PART OF THE CAR. THIS IS IN ACTUALITY, UNTRUE AND CAN BE ULTIMATELY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON JULY 6 BECAUSE THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT A/C IN THIS HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE CONDENSER HAD FAILED AND THAT MANY 2016 AND 2017 HONDA HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THE PART. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE OVER 3000 CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. AS OF TODAY, 7/19, THEIR BEST ESTIMATE IS THAT THEY MAY HAVE THE PART ON 7/25. NO GUARANTEE. MY CAR WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS AT THE LEAST. MORE IMPORTANTLY, MANY OF THESE CARS ARE BEING DRIVEN IN THIS HEAT ,WITHOUT A/C, WHICH IS DEFINITELY AN UNSAFE CONDITION.
