STEERING
The 10th gen Honda civics are having steering problems related to eps. The steering will become stuck while driving, especially at speeds higher than 45 mph. The steering becomes stiff and you must pull the wheel hard to gain control back and then the wheel goes right back to being stiff. It is difficult to keep the vehicle straight and to turn the vehicle. There are no warning lights coming on. Multiple forums of owners having similar issues and Honda dealerships not knowing what the problem is or how to fix it. The car veers off into other lanes with traffic. This first began to happen about 3 months ago. Never had any issues with steering prior to this case.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
While driving on a interstate highway with adaptive cruise control enabled the adaptive cruise control system unexpectedly disabled itself. I was in the process of passing another vehicle, it was sunny and clear and suddenly I heard a long beep and the vehicle started to slow down. I briefly looked at the dashboard but see any warning but noticed ACC was off. Once it was safe again I attempted to re-enable ACC but the system refused saying ACC was off. At the next rest area I stopped and shut off the vehicle, only after that I could use ACC again. It's unknown if any of the other Honda sense features were disabled but this unexpected behavior is a concern. There is an entire thread at https://www.civic11forum.com/threads/anybody-having-cruise-control-issues.963/ which indicates others are having the same issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
We have had the high pressure fuel line replaced twice which is very expensive (labor). I can google and see recalls on this model, however, when I search it says no recalls.

ENGINE
I purchased this Honda Civic In February 2022. I immediately had to have a O2 Sensor replaced. A few days later the car starting running hot and all the antifreeze leaked out. I replaced the antifreeze and had several mechanics look at it. Now the Honda dealer tells me the Engine block is cracked. I know Honda settled a class action lawsuit for this exact reason (engine block cracked) in Honda Civics 2006-2009. Now I can't use my car. I need your assistance in getting my car repaired by Honda due to the nature of the history of the Engine Crack recalls. Thank you

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
I was driving in stop and go city traffic and came to a stop at a red light and noticed smoke or steam coming from the hood. Upon pulling away from the light once it turned green, I noticed I had reduced acceleration and pulled over quickly. I have yet to get it in to the Honda dealership but will shortly. Upon roadside inspection from a mechanic, it is confirmed the the cvt transmission plug has come off and the transmission has lost fluid. Additionally, when turning left, the car will jar around and rumble if you turn the steering wheel too much.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
When I was driving on the George Washington Memorial Parkway I came across a part of the parkway that was under work by construction. As the lane begun to end i moved into the next lane as guided by the construction barrels, but the lane keep assist function would not allow me to steer onto the part of the road that I wanted to, and actually jerked me back onto the side of the road that had the barrels, causing my side mirror to collide with the barrels and the back cover came off and the mirror isn't adjustable through use of the adjustable mirror button in the car anymore.

STEERING
Failed component: electronic steering gearbox and Steering Electric Power Assist System Safety: The steering wheel maneuverability is compromised by continuously pulling to the left and requiring the driver to pull the wheel to the right for correction or vehicle will drift into the left lane, increasing the risk of a crash. This back and forth movement to correct the steering wheel pull requires the driver to constantly move the steering wheel back and forth to keep the vehicle in the current lane. Problem brought to Slidell Honda dealer 3/9/2022. Dealer did a sensor relearn but unsuccessful. Dealer recommends replacement of electronic steering gearbox, for which there is a current Honda recall C2N, P20 but does not include my VIN#. Reported to Honda, case no. [XXX]. Honda offers to pay 75% of my repair cost which is unacceptable for a defective part that is under a recall. NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 18V663000 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

STEERING
The steering wheel sticks, so if traveling at highway speeds and you need to do a subtle course correction to stay centered in your lane, the force necessary to 'unstick' the steering wheel causes an oversteer condition and can cause you to exit your lane unintentionally. This is apparently a known issue but Honda is not addressing.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2018 Civic Hatchback with less than 18,000 miles on it - noticed A/C was not blowing cool air, so took it into dealership for evaluation. Was told the freon was low but the issue was not due to the condenser and would not be covered under the 2016-19 Civic A/C Condenser Warranty extension. Dealership said they looked at everything possible without disassembling through the dash and so gave me the option to either perform a diagnostic leak test/Freon recharge ($400, with the caveat that the leak may still be there and this would be a temporary fix) or to replace the evaporator entirely ($1800). Unfortunately the car is no longer covered under factory warranty since it’s over 3yrs old. Does not make sense that for a vehicle that’s <4 years old with <18K miles this is an issue.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
My 2016 Honda Civic Touring is equipped with automatic emergency braking. In more than one instance, my Civic has applied the brakes unnecessarily when there was no apparent danger. Traveling on the highway at 65 mph, I have been 'cut-off' by a driver and the brakes were applied hard. There was no way to override the braking and the car commanded itself to a complete stop. The drivers immediately behind me had to brake hard and if they hadn't maintained control there would have been a pile-up. This took place in Cobb County, GA during rush hour on 75S in the 'Northwest Corridor' area. This is a high traffic density area.

STEERING
Intermittent power steering loss. Vehicle would lose power steering sometimes while driving and other times at startup. Very random. For months nothing would happen until all of a sudden eps warning light would come on and power steering wouldn’t engage right away. Now it is permanently on and the power steering does not work at all. This issue started around 65k and complete power steering loss happened at 80k. Definitely scary to think you might lose power steering all of a sudden.

ENGINE
I was driving towards freeway and when merging into the lane, my car shut off. Fortunately it was very busy and full of cars on the freeway that I was able to start up my car yet frightening since we had 4 people in the car which included my mother. Later within 30 minutes we were at s traffic light waiting to go forward and the engine shut off again. It was a warm day around 60 degrees. Why is my car doing this? Taking to shop to hopefully fix this problem.

AIR BAGS
I accidently hit a curb on a dark road making a right turn after a stop and 1 second later side curtain airbags deployed. So I was less than 5mph There is no exterior damaged just hit the curb with the rear right wheel. Tire is perfectly fine. This should be a safety concern because airbags can cause serius injuries. They are too sensitive.
