STEERING
THE STEERING IS STICKY. WHEN I TRY TO MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO DIRECTION, IT STICKS. WHEN IT FINALLY LET'S GO, THE CAR OVERCORRECTS CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, ONLY ABOUT 2500 MILES AND AIR CONDITIONING STARTED BLOWING HOT. UPON RESEARCH, THE FOLLOWING YEARS 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS HAVE WARRANTY ON THE CONDENSERS FOR IMPROPER MANUFACTURING OF CONDENSERS. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER HAS LEAKING SPOTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY OFFICE PARKING LOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND WENT TO LEAVE AND THE INSIDE LIGHTS FLASHED AND THEN SEEMED AS IF THE BATTERY DIED. GOT CAR JUMPED OFF, TOOK TO ECONOMY HONDA IN CHATTANOOGA, TN THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THE BATTERY WAS FINE. LEFT AND NOW ABOUT A MONTH LATER IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. WENT TO START IT, LIGHTS FLASH AND IT WONT COME ON AND NOW IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ENGINE BEGAN LOSING POWER. SOON AFTER, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO CLEAR THE BUSY FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION HONDA IN CHANDLER, AZ, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED FUEL IN THE OIL. HE SAID HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS 1.5 TURBO ENGINE, BUT NO FIX EXISTED. HE CHANGED THE OIL AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO ME. AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THE HISTORY OF THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE ISSUE. I KNOW HONDA SAYS IT ONLY HAPPENS IN COLD CLIMATES, BUT THAT DAY WAS OVER 100 DEGREES F. ALSO, THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP APPROX. 6 WEEKS EARLIER AND ONLY 619 MILES BEFORE THE EVENT. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT OR ON THE FREEWAY IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WILL FAIL AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THIS INCLUDES ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST AND MORE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE. WHILE THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE IT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY RESULT IN A MAJOR CRASH AND INJURY.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, THE ENGINE RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CROSS 4 LANES AND GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON TO INCLUDE: CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, HILL START, AND TPMS. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS OTHER THAN PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND NORMALLY WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED BUT WAS NOT ENGAGED BY THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER THAT FOUND THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE PULLEY HAD BROKEN REQUIRING A TOTALLY NEW TRANSMISSION. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15V574000 WAS REFERENCED BUT HONDA WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT FOR COVERAGE OR AS A CAUSAL ISSUE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS AT THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THAT RECALLED ISSUE WAS AT FAULT FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE. HONDA RECALL STILL REFUSED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ISSUE LISTED IN 15V574000 AS IT WAS NOT TIED TO THE VIN IN THE HONDA DATABASE. CAR INDICATIONS AND MAINTENANCE REPORTS LIST THE SAME INDICATIONS AND PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FAIL TO TURN ON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON, ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL HAVE .5-1 SECOND DELAY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP/IDLE CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS. SINCE PURCHASE, THERE HAVE BEEN 10-15 EPISODES WHERE I ATTEMPT TO TURN ON ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE ON THE FREEWAY BUT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE. I ONLY GET 3 BEEPS AND AN "ACC OFF" INDICATION ON THE DASH. ONCE THIS HAPPENS, FOR THE REST OF THAT DRIVE, THERE IS A PEDAL DEAD ZONE/SEVERE ACCELERATION DELAY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THIS DELAY IN ACCELERATION HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN PULLING OUT WITH OBSTRUCTED VIEWS AS I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BUT GET NO RESPONSE FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE 1 SECOND WHILE ANOTHER CAR COMES INTO VIEW AND IS FAST APPROACHING. ONCE THE INITIAL ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE OCCURS, ACC AND TRADITIONAL CRUISE CONTROL WILL BOTH FAIL TO START ACROSS MULTIPLE DRIVES AND ENGINE STARTS. THE SEVERE PEDAL DELAY WILL RETURN ACROSS ENGINE STARTS AS SOON AS THE ACC BUTTON IS PRESSED. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER THE FUNCTIONALITY OF ACC AND NORMAL CRUISE CONTROL ONCE IN THIS STATE IS TO REMOVE POWER FROM THE BATTERY AND WAIT A MINUTE, THEN POWER ON THE ENGINE AND LET SYSTEMS RESTART. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERS CLOSE TO 10 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. IN CONSULTATION WITH HONDA TECHLINE THE FOLLOWING PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES AT RANDOM INTERVALS: FORWARD LOOKING CAMERA, FORWARD RADAR SENSOR, MAIN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, PEDAL SENSOR, WINDSHIELD, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY. APPEARS TO BE SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE BUG IN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM THAT CAUSES SYSTEM TO CRASH AND NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL ENGINE COMPUTER RESET. I'D GLADLY WORK DIRECTLY WITH HONDA FOR TROUBLESHOOTING, I'M 3-4 PEOPLE REMOVED WHEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL LIKE ALL MY INFO IS NOT BEING COMMUNICATED CORRECTLY.
