ENGINE
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 7 MONTH AGO AND REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, A TIRE, REPAIRED A BROKEN LUGNUT, AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS OVERHEATED AND BLOWN AND IS EVIDENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS PAST EXPIRATION (YEAR AND MILEAGE). PUTTING A USED ENGINE INTO THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND MY DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO PUT A NEW ONE IN. WHEN IT BEGAN OVERHEATING, I HAD JUST PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY (AVERAGE SPEED OF ABOUT 50) AND NOTICED THAT MY HEAT WASN'T WORKING (WHICH WAS WEIRD SINCE I HAD REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ALREADY A FEW WEEKS PRIOR) AND THEN THE CAR READ AS HOT AS POSSIBLE. WHEN I SAFELY PULLED OVER, THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WAS TOWED TO A RELIABLE MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS THE COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK, BUT WAS NOT PART OF THE WARRANTY ANYMORE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND THE ALARM SET ITSELF OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ANY KEY FOB COMMANDS AND THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY LIT WITH FLASHING SAFETY FEATURE WARNING LIGHTS, AND AIRBAGS WERE ALSO DISABLED. HAD TO OPEN THE CAR WITH THE MANUAL KEY, SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB. STARTED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OFF AGAIN, IT REFUSED AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I PROCEEDED TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AFTER MULTIPLE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB AND THEY TURNED THE CAR OFF. TWO DAYS LATER I DROVE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE WHOLE WAY THERE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED AND NOT WORKING. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COOPERATE OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AT HAND. TOOK IT TWO TIMES JUST TO BE TURNED AWAY AND TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OUT, AS THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, ONLY HAS 14,600 MILES. DEALERSHIP MANAGER TOLD US THAT CORPORATE HONDA COMMANDED HIM NOT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND TO TELL US TO PICK IT UP. DROVE THE CAR BACK STILL BROKEN, WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES NOT WORKING, WARNING LIGHTS ON, AND THE ALARM CONTINUES TO SET ITSELF OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNUSABLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW, FOR IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ATTEMPTED VARIOUS TIMES TO CONTACT CORPORATE HONDA FOR HELP WITH THIS ISSUE, YET THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT RESPOND. PLEASE HELP, THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND MUST BE RECALLED. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR HONDA TO OWN UP? IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN FOR THEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE CAR IS CONTROLLED BY UNRESPONSIVE ELECTRONICS.

HI THERE! I OWN 2010 HONDA CIVIC AND WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR LONGER, THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND HOOD, TRUNK AREA KEEPS DISAPPEARING. I AM LOSING MY PAINT. I NOTICE A LOT OF HONDA CIVICS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM A VEHICLE OWNER WHO TAKES CARE OF MY VEHICLE INCLUDING THE APPEARANCE OF IT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY CAR IS 85997 MILES. I CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON THE PAINT/ TSB AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS EXPIRED.. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. HONDA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THIS. I ONLY DO CITY DRIVING AND MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE UP UNTIL LATE 2018 AND THEN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED NOTICING THE PAINT IS GETTING FADED. I ATTACHED A COUPLE PICTURES TO SHOW WHERE THE PAINT DAMAGE IS LOCATED. THANK YOU KINDLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
PROGRESSIVE FAILING OF THE MULTIPLEX CONTROL UNIT, PART # 38200-S5P-A11, FOR MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC HX 5SP HAS RESULTED IN VARIOUS PROBLEMS THAT CAN PROVE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS SUCH AS FAILURE OF TURN SIGNALS, TAIL LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, DASHBOARD LIGHTS, DOME LIGHT, POWER DOOR LOCKS, ETC. EXACTLY WHEN THESE FAILURES OCCURRED ARE HARD TO PIN POINT BUT SO FAR I HAVE AVOIDED PROPERTY AND BODILY HARM BUT NOT GREAT INCONVENIENCE AND REPAIR COST. PLEASE ACT TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM CAUSING HARM OR LOSS OF LIFE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR SMELLS STRONGLY OF GAS. HUNTING FOR THE CAUSE I NOTICED GAS COMING FROM A HOLE UNDER THE CAR ABOUT RIGHT WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE BACK SEAT. AFTER REMOVING THE BACK SEAT I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP IS PRETTY MUCH SITTING IN A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE. YOU CAN SEE A SLOW MOVEMENT OF GASOLINE COMING OFF THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY BEING THAT WE ARE SMOKERS.

AIR BAGS
MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC CONSISTENTLY HAS THE "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM" INDICATOR COMES ON 75% TO 80% OF THE TIME WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE IT. IT'S UNKNOWN WHY THIS OCCURS? IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR ON THE HIGHWAYS. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET FROM FELLOW CIVIC OWNERS. THIS OCCURS ONLY ON THE MODEL YEAR 2013. MY CONCERN IS IF I WOULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT, I'VE BEEN TOLD IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WILL NOT DEPLOY AND POSSIBLY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE SUCH A QUALITY AUTOMOBILE COMPANY LIKE HONDA NOT TO INVESTIGATE AND HAVE THIS FIXED. MY CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES LIKE BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 30K MILES ON IT. I'VE CHECK MY VIN NUMBER FOR RECALLS BUT THERE ARE NONE. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK FOR $139.00 BUT SAID THAT WOULDN'T GUARANTEE A FIX SOLUTION. AND INTERNET OWNERS HAVE PAID FOR THIS TO NO AVAIL FOR A FIX SOLUTION. THEN MORE DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS WOULD BE REQUIRED AND WHO KNOWS AT WHAT EXPENSE? I'M ASKING TO PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILIES WELL BEING AND SAFETY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS SPLIT AND JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE LINE OF VISION....I PURCHASED A NEW GENUINE HONDA VISOR AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO IT. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS ALSO BEGINNING TO SPLIT. HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE VISORS. IT IS NOT OVERUSED OR ABUSED IN ANY WAY. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS WELL MAINTANINED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA, STATING THAT THE A/C CONDENSER ON MY 2017 CIVIC WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION, WHICH MAY ALLOW REFRIGERANT TO LEAK OUT. THE LETTER THEN STATES IF THE A/C DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR, TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE CAR UNLESS I AGREED TO PAY $330 FOR THE INSPECTION, IN CASE THE INSPECTION SHOWS THE CONDENSER IS NOT LEAKING. I FEEL THAT IF HONDA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CONDENSER AND IF THERE IS ANY INDICATION OF A POSSIBLE FAILURE (SUCH AS THE A/C NOT BLOWING COLD AIR), HONDA SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED TO DETERMINE IF THE FAULTY CONDENSER IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. BUT HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE INSPECTION. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
WE DRIVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCH AND WE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH RODENT ISSUE CHEWING THRU WIRE. WE NOW HAVE TO FIX IT AND REPLACE WIRE AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL PUT A TAKE TO DETERS RODENTS. WE HAVE TO PAY $500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIS POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID WE HAVE TO PAY FOR DAMAGE BUT THEY DID SAY MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUE. SO IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HELP

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I WAS DRIVING ON AN EMPTY ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT 40 MPH. IT WAS 2:30 PM WITH SUNNY CONDITIONS. THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND THEN THE CAR'S BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS NO CAR, PEOPLE, ANIMAL, DEBRIS ANYWHERE IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDE OF ME. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE A CAR COULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME AND REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN BRAKING.

SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I GOT MY CAR, BRAND NEW, IT STARTED TO STALL A LITTLE BIT AS I WENT TO TURN, IF I HAD TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN BEFOREHAND. IT GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. I TOLD HONDA BEFORE MY FIRST YEAR WAS UP AND HE TOLD ME TO JUST TAKE OFF ECO. I DID, BUT EVENTUALLY IT STARTED DOING THAT WITHOUT ECO. I'M AFRAID IT'S GONNA DO THAT WHEN I HAVE TO TURN LEFT ONTO A BUSY ROAD AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY FAST ENOUGH. BOTH ECO AND NON ECO SHOULD WORK EFFICIENTLY. THE DATE BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN IT STARTED. IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN JULY 2020 I TOOK MY CAR TO LANCASTER HONDA IN LANCASTER, CA FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THEY POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND CALL ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. NOTHING HAPPENED. IN OCTOBER 2020 I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR STATING EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED DONE. THE DAY BEFORE THEY CALLED TO CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT. I TOOK THE CAR IN ON THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT DAY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT SAID NO PART HAD BEEN ORDERED AND THE REPAIR COULD NOT BE DONE. I SAID YOU CONFIRMED THE APPOINTMENT WITH ME SO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THE PART. HE APOLOGIZED AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND CONTACT ME TO SCHDULE THE APPOINTMENT TO PUT IT IN. IT IS NOW MID NOVEMBER AND I HAVE STILL HEARD NOTHING FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH, STRAIGHT ROAD AT ABOUT 50MPH, I HEARD A LOUD SOUND, SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT. WHEN I LOOKED UP, THE GLASS SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED AND HAD A ROUGHLY 7" X 12" HOLE. ONLY ONE OR TWO SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FELL INTO THE CAR. THE REST BLEW UP AND OUT OF THE CAR. THE FABRIC SUNROOF DOOR WAS OPEN (PUSHED BACK INTO THE CAR SO THAT THE SUN WAS COMING IN THROUGH THE SUNROOF), AND THE GLASS SUNROOF WAS CLOSED (CLOSED SO THAT NO WIND WAS COMING INTO THE CAR). THERE WERE NO CARS AHEAD OF OR BEHIND ME THAT MAY HAVE KICKED UP A ROCK. THERE WERE ALSO NO TREES OR ANYTHING ELSE ABOVE ME FROM WHICH SOMETHING MAY HAVE FALLEN. I DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING THAT HAS FALLEN INTO THE CAR AFTER COMING THROUGH THE GLASS, AND THE GLASS WAS BULGED UP AND AWAY FROM THE CAR RATHER THAN DOWN AND INTO IT. IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES AND SUNNY.
