ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TODAY I WENT UNDER THE HOOD BECAUSE MY CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION ON THE WAY TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AS MY CAR WAS ACTING STRANGE. IT WASNT ACCELERATING AS NORMAL AND DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS. UNDER THE HOOD I DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FILL CAP WAS COMPLETELY MISSING. IVE READ ONLINE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND IT WAS ADVISED TO FILE THIS REPORT.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLED, FUMES APPEARED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET HIT BY SPEEDING CARS COMING FROM BEHIND. WE HAD TO TO L TOW IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED. AT FIRST I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM, BUT THEN ANOTHER MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SAME THING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY SON AND I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2017 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN ON DEC 3RD FROM HONDA OF LISLE IL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 22,100 MILES. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON DEC 10TH AND STOPPED FOR GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP. HE NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE IMMEDIATELY CAM HOME AND CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. AS HE WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER HE GOT ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE CAR FROZE UP AND IMMEDIATELY BURST INTO FLAMES. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AS HE WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A LAW THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE IT BACK WITHIN 15 DAYS OR LESS THAN 500 MILES, THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I NEEDED TO GET MY INSURANCE INVOLVED. A FIRE INSPECTOR HIRED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY LOOKED AT THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND SUSPECTED THE FIRE STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE ENGINEER INSPECT IT AT A COST OF $5,000 THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT PURSUE FURTHER. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A CERTIFIED CAR WITH 22K MILES. FULL VIDEO HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/TTSVY7ZGMW8

POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED BUT MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY FOR THE 2015 MODELS MANUFACTURED BEFORE NOVEMBER 2014. BUT IT WAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS I LOST ACCELERATION AND THE FRONT WHEELS LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. I ONLY HAD LITTLE BIT OVER 90000 MILES ON THE CAR. I DID REACH OUT TO HONDA BUT ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN IT'S THE SAME ISSUE AS RECALL THEY COULD NOT PROMISE ME THEY WOULD GET IT FIXED FOR ME. I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BUT I WANT THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO SO OTHER PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME THING AS I DID. I WAS STUCK ON HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CASE. I WAS ON I-77 (CHARLOTTE NC)DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STOPPED I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I BARELY MADE IT. AND FOR HONDA, NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO PAY TO GO TO THE DEALERS TO GET THEIR CAR LOOKED AT. I'M UPLOADING THE ESTIMATE BUT THE COST IS LITTLE BIT HIGHER DUE TO ADDING 2 YEAR WARRANTY. IT CAME OUT TO BE AROUND $2800.

NOTICED THE CVT TRANSMISSION FILL PLUG LAYING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. PUT THE CVT FILL PLUG BACK IN AND DROVE 30 MIN TO DESTINATION. PARKED AT DESTINATION AND CHECKED FILL PLUG TO SEE IT LAYING ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I SUSPECT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS BUILDING PRESSURE AND BLOWING THE FILL PLUG OUT, ALLOWING CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION AND RUIN IT.

STEERING
OUR CIVIC'S STEERING BECAME VERY 'STICKY' AROUND 6 MONTHS AGO AND THE PROBLEM DEVELOPS AT SPEED. THE STEERING GETS JERKY AND MOMENTARILY GETS LOCKED IN A POSITION THAT WE NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST. WE HAD A SERVICE SCHEDULED AT HONDA AND ASKED THEM TO INSPECT THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. THEY ARE DEFLECTING AND ARE SUGGESTING IT COULD BE CAUSED BY US RUNNING OVER SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED THE STEERING SETUP. THERE IS NO ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 16K MILES IN 4.5 YEARS (IT'S OUR SECOND CAR).

HAD AC CONDENSER REPLACED IN VEHICLE. ONE YEAR LATER AND THE AC IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR. QUOTED $1500 TO FIX. I DECLINED AND CONTACTED CORPORATE. DEALER CALLED AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK IN BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO CHECK IT FURTHER. INSERTED DYE IN AC SYSTEM. TOLD ME THERE WAS NO LEAK, BUT WHEN I ASKED THEM TO CHECK AGAIN THEY STATED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE EVAPORATOR. SUBMITTED CLAIM TO HONDA AND THEY DENIED MY CLAIM BASED ON THE FACT I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE HONDA, I DON'T GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR SERVICE, AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. CONFIRMED THAT NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG WITH COMPRESSOR AND THEY ADMITTED THIS MISTAKE. WANT $2000 TO REPLACE EVAPORATOR.
