VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE AC SYSTEM ON THESE MODELS HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SURFACE STREETS THE WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY, I COULD NOT SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AND SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEANED THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE PIECE OF TOWEL. BECAUSE THE CAR'S AC WAS NOT WORKING IT COULD NOT DEFOGG THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT HONDA DOESN'T REPAIR IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE (WHEN ENGINE IS HOT), POWER STEERING STICKS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AND STAY WITHIN THE LANE. SMOOTH STEERING IS NOT POSSIBLE. MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH, AND NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, I HAVE HAD MY CALIPERS AND ROTORS CHANGED 6 TIMES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A HONDA CIVIC DESIGN ISSUE. THAT BEING SAID ON NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS COMING OFF AN INTERSTATE OR MANY STOPS IN THE CITY MY CAR WILL NOT STOP NO MATTER WHAT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS TO BE PULLED. IT IS WORSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN THE CAR. THE BRAKES HEAT UP SO MUCH THAT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING ALONG ON A SUNNY DAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD. NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN SIGHT. THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED THE WARNING ON THE DASH. AT THE SAME TIME THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY BEFORE DISENGAGING. THE BRAKING LOWERED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE ONLY CONCLUSION I COULD REACH WAS THAT THE SYSTEM MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF A TREE FOR AN OBJECT BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN TAKING AN EXIT RAMP FROM A HIGHWAY WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING FLASHED AND THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY, DROPPING MY SPEED SOMEWHAT, BEFORE DISENGAGING. IN BOTH CASES, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED, THOUGH I AM GLAD IT DID AS OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHED FROM BEHIND SOON AFTER.

STEERING
THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT 'STICKING' POINT THAT REQUIRES A SLIGHT, ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO CORRECT. TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE (ASPHALT, CONCRETE, ETC.) SEEMS TO HAVE SOME AFFECT ON THIS ISSUE. IT IS SOMEWHAT DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THIS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING...NOT A GOOD FEELING!!!

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT TO I SUBMITTED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE WAS RELEVANT TO THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERING ON ITS OWN. UPDATE - BACKED BY INSURANCE CLAIMS, IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. ONCE FOR EVERY YEAR THE CAR HAS BEEN OWNED. THIS ISSUE SIGNIFICANTLY NEEDS ATTENTION. THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT AN AC UNIT. THEY MANUFACTURED A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS. LISTED AS A RECALL BY ALL INFORMATION I SEEN, I WAS OBLIGATED TO PAY A LITTLE OVER $300 FOR THE "RECALL". ONCE FINALLY GETTING A CHANCE TAKING IT BACK IN BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS NEVER FIXED, THEY RUN TESTS, AND TELL ME THE COMPRESSOR IS BAD AND IS GOING TO COST $1400, MORE THAN THE $1200 IT WAS THE FIRST TIME. ABOVE ALL, THE BUSINESS PRACTICES IN WHICH THEY ACCOUNT FOR THE RECALLS NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED. THE PORTION OF THE COST OF THE FIRST WORK ON THE AC SYSTEM WAS LABELLED AS "GOODWILL" WHICH IS THE REASON THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT THIS TIME. THEY SAID "GOOD WILL" IS A ONE TIME THING. THIS IS ALSO HOW THEY OBLIGATED ME TO PAY FOR PART OF A RECALLED PART THAT AT THE TIME THEY TOLD ME WAS A "VOLUNTARY RECALL" AND WOULD THEREFORE NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE STANDARD LAWS SURROUNDING RECALLS. HONDA IS GENUINELY UP TO NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE THOROUGHLY EVALUATED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE PAINT IS TWO YEARS OLD FROM FACTORY, HAS BUBBLED AND THE CLEAR COAT IS LIFTING. THE PAINT IS SO CHEAP THAT ANY ROCK THAT HITS IT, IT GETS CHIPPED. IT IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE HONDA REFUSES TO COVER BODY PAINT UNDER WARRANTY AND I AM WORRIED IN A YEAR OR TWO, IT WILL RUST THE METAL OF IT NOT SERVING ITS PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS ME OVER A YEAR DISPUTING MY CLAIM AND ONLY GAVE ME "I CANNOT DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION " FOR EVERYTHING. MY CAR PAINT IS FAULTY AND THEIR TECHNICIAN MISDIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE DEFECTS.

POWER TRAIN
SUDDEN BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE, FALSE WARNINGS (WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY) TO LIGHT UP SUCH AS BRAKE SYSTEM, STEERING, OIL, BATTERY, KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM. DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW IF SHE/HE SHOULD HEED THESE WARNINGS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. CAR ACCESSORY MODE WOULD TURN ON BY ITSELF (WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY IS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE) AND DRAIN OUT BATTERY. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND BCM FAULTY. PLEASE REFER TO RECALL #: 20V-771 ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE HONDA CIVICS.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THE SRS WARNING LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. MY FIRST THOUGHT OF COURSE WAS SOMETHING WAS EITHER WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT LED TO THE AIR BAGS (WHICH ONES I HAVE NO CLUE) BEING DEPLOYED AND SO WHEN I SIGNED THE BILL OF SALE WITH THE DEALER I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN A PAPER THAT STATES THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW AS WELL AS TO WHAYLT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STATUS WAS BUT WAS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM LIABILITY TO THIS ISSUE BY MAKING UP THIS RIDICULOUS DOCUMENT. AFTER SEEING THE CAR FAX THE VEHICLE WAS THEN KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN 2018 AND SO THE DEALER LIED A BOUT NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS DEALER HAS BEEN TOTALLY NON COMPLIANT WITH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED LET ALONE FIXED AND I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TALK TO OWNER WITHOUT ANY CALLBACK OR ANSWERS. I KNLY GET HOUNDED ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE BALANCE DUE ON THE VEHICLE THAT'S IT . JUST TODAY I RAN THE VIN INN THE DATABASE AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTWMM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS VIN AND THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT .

POWER TRAIN
WE WERE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING TO TURN LEFT; ONCE TRAFFIC CLEARED AND I STARTED DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SKIP AS THOUGH I WERE DRIVING ON A FLAT TIRE. WE WERE ABLE TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT JUST A FEW YARDS AWAY TO CHECK TO SEE IF WE HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE TIRES BEING FINE, WE PROCEEDED TO PULL AWAY BUT THE CAR WAS STILL EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. BEFORE WE COULD GET PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, I LOST ALL POWER TO THE FRONT WHEELS NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I PUT IT IN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING PERFECTLY UNTIL I MADE THAT LEFT TURN. THERE WAS NEVER A SKIP OR JERK IN THE TRANSMISSION OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS MOMENT. I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ONE THAT IS COVERED. THROUGH MY RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN FOR THIS ISSUE. CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V574000 IS THERE CURRENTLY ANY HELP FOR THIS ISSUE?

AIR BAGS
FEW MOTHS BACK AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ONE HAD IT CHECKED THEY THOUGHT A PINCHED WIRE IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS THE PROBLEM 400 LATER SAID IT WAS FIXED. THEN RECENTLY EXACTLY 3 MONTHS LATER IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN CHECKED IT AGAIN AT HONDA AFTER 4 HOURS THEY FINALLY FOUND OUT WAS WRONG ITS THR DRIVERSIDE AIRBAG INFLATAR. DID A CLAIM BUT WAS REFUSED DUE TO THE FACT APPARENTLY MY 2013 ISN'T UNDER RECALL AND DUE TO THE FACT MY 2013 HAS BEEN ON ROAD FOR A WHOPPING 8 YEARS ITS JUST PLAIN WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE THE CLAIM ADJUSTER COMPARED IT TO CHANGING THE OIL IN MY CAR. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND AIRBAGS AND INFLATORS ARE USUALLY CONSIDERED A LIFETIME GUARENTEE FOR CARS. SO I HAD TO SHED 1400 FOR THE INFLATOR . I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYWHERE TILL IT'S FIXED. WHAT BUGS ME IS THE FACT IT'S NOT WITH THE RECALL EVENTHOUGH IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. THE CLAIMS PERSON BASICALLY CONFIRMED IF I DROVE IT MORE I HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF IT EXPLODING.
