SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY SON HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/30/2016. A COUPLE OF CARS IN FRONT OF HIM HAD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE A SQUIRREL WAS CROSSING THE STREET. HIS VELOCITY WAS APROX. UNDER 30 MILES. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT RESPOND INMEDIATELY AND THIS RESULTED IN A CAR CRASH WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. THE AIRBAG ALSO DEPLOYED. THIS HAPPENED ON A STREET CLOSE TO OUR HOME.

2014 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION RECALL NOTICE 15V-574. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE CHANGE. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER STATED THE SOFTWARE CHANGED ONLY REDUCED THE STRESS ON WEAK PULLEY SHAFTS AND THEREFORE, THE FIX WAS ONLY TEMPORARY, BECAUSE THE PULLEYS WERE STILL WEAK. *JB

WHEELS
THE TIRES ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR PRESSURE. THE TMPS SENSOR GOES OFF ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AND ONE OF THE TIRES WILL BE ABOUT 5+ PSI LOW AND ONE OR MORE OF THE OTHERS WILL BE 1-2 PSI LOW. IT IS NEVER THE SAME TIRE AND EVERY TIME IT GOES OFF I CHECK ALL OF THEM AND RE-INFLATE ALL TO THE CORRECT PSI. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME 2014 HONDA CIVICS FOR THIS ISSUE (CAUSED BY AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE ATTACHING TO THE WHEEL), BUT NOT ALL OF THEM. I THINK THAT ALL 2014 HONDA CIVICS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FIXED. AS MENTIONED IN THAT RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT, THE DECREASED TIRE PRESSURE CAN CAUSE INCREASED INCIDENTS OF ACCIDENTS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
