I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY TO THE POINT I COULDN'T SEE THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME. TRIED TO DEFOG IT, IT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE AC SYSTEM ON THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE LETTER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THE LOCAL DEALER DENIED MY REQUEST TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE FIXED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL DOOR ACTUATOR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD BUZZING NOISE AT 38,500 MILES AFTER 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS OF USE. THE ACTUATOR FAILED BECAUSE IT IS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING CONSTANTLY WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH ALL HONDAS THAT UTILIZE THIS FUNCTION FOR THE FUEL DOOR.

STEERING
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A BIT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING STARTS TO STICK AND IT TAKES A BIT OF EFFORT TO TURN (LIKE IT'S STUCK) AND WHEN YOU DO END UP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU OVERCORRECT. THIS IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING AND DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. ALSO, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HONDA'S "LANE KEEP ASSIST." THIS PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN AFTER A 5 OR 10 MINUTE TEST DRIVE, OR I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. WHERE I LIVE IT'S FAIRLY HOT, SO HEAT MAY PLAY A FACTOR INTO THIS. THE PROBLEMS SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED THE FASTER YOU GO. DEFINITELY MORE OF AN ISSUE DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING.

I WAS RECENTLY CHARGED FOR A REPAIR TO MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R BY CHAPMAN HONDA OF TUCSON, ARIZONA.CHAPMAN HONDA INCORRECTLY BLAMES THE REPAIR ON WASHING THE CAR/ENGINE.SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH INTO THE ISSUE SHOWS THE ISSUE OF WATER PRESENT IN SPARK PLUG CYLINDERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAVE OCCURRED GLOBALLY, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WASHING ANY PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

MULTIPLE ROCK CHIPS CAUSING LARGE STARBURSTS AND CRATERS. LOTS OF OTHER SMALLER NICKS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE JUST OVER 4 MONTHS. QUALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE WINDSHIELD IS TERRIBLE. YES I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND YES I UNDERSTAND ROCKS AND THINGS WILL CHIP WINDSHIELDS BUT I HAVE HAD TWO OTHER HONDAS FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I'M HAVING TO LOOK AT GETTING THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED DUE TO TWO MOST RECENT ONES HAVE BEEN IN THE DRIVER SIGHTLINE.

THE TRUNK LID HASN'T BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS COME DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD. NOW, THE BAR THAT KEEPS THE LID OPEN HAS SNAPPED AND THE TRUNK WILL NOT STAY OPEN BY ITSELF. IT CLOSES WITH SUCH FORCE, IT COULD REALLY INJURE A PERSON,. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM, WITH POOR VISIBILITY AT NIGHT, EVEN WHEN THE FOG LIGHTS ARE ON. H ROAD NEEDS TO BE ILLUMINATED A LITTLE BIT MORE, OR EVEN HAVE A FURTHER BEAM. THE LED VERSION OF THE CIVIC HAS A EXCELLENT HEADLIGHT PATTERN/BRIGHTNESS. HOWEVER, LX, SPORT AND EX SHARE THE SAME DIM HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. THAT IS. A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE A CRASH, OR HIT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ILLUMINATED MORE.

I NOTICED THAT THE FILL PLUG ON TOP OF MY CVT HAD POPPED OUT AND I PUT IT BACK IN, ONLY TO FIND, WEEKS LATER, THAT IT HAD POPPED OUT AGAIN AT SOME POINT. THE PLUG IN THE TOP OF THE CVT IS A VERY SNUG FIT, SO FOR IT TO BE POPPING OUT, I WOULD HAVE TO ASSUME THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE UNDER QUITE A BIT OF PRESSURE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. YESTERDAY 03/06/2021 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP DUE TO BACKED UP TRAFFIC, AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN MY VEHICLE BEGAN VIOLENTLY VIBRATING/SHAKING. I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATING UNTIL TODAY, 03/07/2021 WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER GO INTO GEAR AND WOULD NOT MOVE, PROMPTING ME TO HAVE TO PUSH IT BACK TO MY HOUSE.
