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

I WAS DRIVING AND IT FELT LIKE A TUGGING ON THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL. WHEN I WOULD TURN THE TUGGING WAS WORSE. THEN I TURNED AROUND TO GO HOME AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. ALL THE GEARS WERE GONE. THE GEAR WILL GO IN THE GEAR EVERY GEAR BUT IT WONT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I DON'T THINK IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT'S POSSIBLE THE PASSENGER AXLE OR SOMETHING IN THERE OR I COULD BE WRONG AND IT'S THE TRANNY. *TR

CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD COME ON SPORADICALLY. DEALERSHIP SAID SPIRAL CABLE AND AIRBAG INFLATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOT UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY. OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY $1343.99. WOULD MARK VEHICLE 'UNSAFE' IF REMOVED FROM DEALERSHIP WITHOUT REPAIR. HOW DOES THIS 'JUST HAPPEN'?

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND SUDDENLY HEAR A WHIRRING NOISE. I'M SURE I DIDN'T HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE AT THE TIME. THE WHIRRING KEPT GOING AS I WAS TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO MY HOME, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED WOBBLING FROM BACK AND FORTH. I TRIED TO MAKE IT AS CLOSE TO HOME AS I COULD, BUT WHEN I FINALLY PULLED OVER, I SAW THE TIRE COMPLETELY EXPLODED AND WAS TORN OFF THE CAR, SO I WAS BASICALLY RIDING ON THE RIM. THE TIRE TIRE OFF MY FENDER LINER AS WELL.

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.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AT A STOP SIGN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AT 49K MILES. WAS DRIVING FROM MY PARENT'S DRIVEWAY TO SAID STOP SIGN, AROUND 100FT. STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, TRIED TO MOVE AND GOT NO TRACTION. NEXT DAY HAD IT TOWED, INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. BROUGHT IT TO KRENZEN HONDA IN DULUTH, MN, THEY SAID TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. THERE WAS NO SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE FOR THE POWER TRAIN BEFOREHAND. HONDA OF AMERICA IS CLAIMING I DIDN'T PERFORM REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THAT MAINTENANCE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. HONDA OF AMERICA IS REFUSING TO FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND FOR THIS FAILURE MODE (CVT BEING DESTROYED) BUT ODDLY ENOUGH NOT MY CAR. THIS SHOWS THAT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL LIABLE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. SERVICE TECH AT KRENZEN SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY.

THE DISPLAY ON MY '14 CIVIC SHOWED "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CLEARED THE CODE TO SEE IF IT CAME BACK. IT DID ABOUT 8-DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE CABLE REEL IN THE STEERING COLUMN. PROBLEM SOLVED, WARNING MESSAGE WENT AWAY. 3 MONTHS LATER, "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM" LIGHT COMES BACK ON. CARRYING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY(12/09/19) FOR INSPECTION.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND PARKED CAR IN A LOT. UPON RETURN TO THE CAR, IT STARTED UP BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE WHEN I PLACED GEAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE DESPITE TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT BACK UP. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED CAN RESULT IN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE HAD NEVER GOTTEN NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAD NOT MOVED ADDRESSES. CAR HAD LESS THAN 58K MILES UNDER THE 60K MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OVER THE 5 YRS PERIOD. AMERICAN HONDA WAS ONLY WILLING TO PAY 50/50 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS LUCKY THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED AS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SOME MAJOR ACCIDENT LOSING POWER WITH NO ADVANCED NOTICE AND HAVING NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE FEEL IF THIS RECALL WAS SENT OUT AND IT WAS CORRECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT TO BEGIN WITH. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND SCARY TO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER CARS LIKE MINE OUT THERE WHICH AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND PUTTING HARM IN THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.

ENGINE
MY CAR HAS 41K MILES ON IT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE A/C SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND HOT AIR WAS BLOWING. I ALSO HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC A DAY LATER, AND AFTER A FULL DAY OF DIAGNOSTICS, THEY DETERMINED THE ENTIRE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT NEEDS REPLACING. THEY COULD NOT FIND THIS PART FROM ANY DEALER, AND NONE OF THEM HAD A RELEASE DATE FOR THE PART COMING IN. THERE WERE ALSO NO AFTER MARKET MODELS OF THIS PART MADE. THEY CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY WHO SAID THEY ARE RELEASING SOME 9/29/19 AND YOU CAN PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN, BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE TO RECEIVE ONE BECAUSE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED THIS PART. SEVERAL PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IF NONE ARE IN STOCK, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, IT LIKELY MEANS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART, AND HONDA MAY BE HOLDING OFF ON RELEASING MORE. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR CURRENTLY BECAUSE IF THE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT LOCKS UP IT COULD AFFECT THE ENTIRE BELT WHICH CONNECTS ALL PARTS OF MY CAR, CAUSING IT TO BE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DRIVE. I ALSO LIVE IN TEXAS, AND IT IS IN THE 100S, AND I DON'T HAVE AC WHICH IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL.

I HAVE A 2014 HONDA CIVIC WITH 136000 ON THE CAR THAT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM STARTING. SOME 2014 HONDA CIVIC WERE RECALLED FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLE, 2014 CIVIC MODEL MISS THE RECALL. ALL CIVICS HAVE A PRETTY SIMILAR SETUP AS FAR AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. AS FAR AS HONDA GOES THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THERE ENGINES LASTING A WHILE AND HAVING NO ISSUES YET I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT IS YET UNKNOWN AND WILL COST AT LEAST 5K TO FIX. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THE CARS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DOWNSHIFT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS CAR HAS A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION YET WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUMPS GEARS, YOU GET THE FEELING AS IF YOU ARE ON A MOTORCYCLE AND IT STALLS AND JUMPS FORWARD. ALONG WITH THAT THERE'S A SLIGHT NOICE THAT IS WORKING OVERTIME. (INCIDENT OCCURS AROUND 2MPH-65)
