ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AT APPROX 36K MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING A BEHAVIOR WHERE, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE STEERING STICKS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. TO MAKE A MINOR STEERING ADJUSTMENT, THE AMOUNT OF FORCE REQUIRED TO INITIATE A STEERING CHANGE WOULD CAUSE STEERING TO BECOME UNSTUCK AND THEN OVER STEER. MINOR STEERING ADJUSTMENTS ARE NOT POSSIBLE AND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND MAINTAIN WITHIN THE DRIVING LANE. THIS ISSUE INITIALLY WOULD OCCUR RANDOMLY BUT HAS PROGRESSED AND IS OCCURRING MORE OFTEN.

HONDA HAS KNOWN A/C ISSUES WITH THE CORROSIVE 1234YF REFRIGERANT THAT IMPACTS THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM. SERVICE BULLETIN COVERS THE CONDENSER HOWEVER DOES NOT COVER THE COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH OR COIL THAT IS A COSTLY FIX. HONDA HAS IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL HOWEVER THEY WENT THE EASY WAY OUT AND PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN.

STEERING
STEARING WHEEL IS STICKING AFTER IT IS HELD IN ONE POSITION. THE STICKING CAN BE NOTICED AT ALL SPEEDS EVEN WHEN STOPPED. WHEN THESTEARING STICKS IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO OVER COMPENSATE WHEN TRYING TO MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
FIRST, THE NEW "NO FUEL CAP" FUEL PUMP SUCKS.. IT ALWAYS GET STUCKED WHEN I'M PUMPING GAS AT ANY GAS STATION. OIL WILL SPILL OUT. BTW (THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM) SECOND, AC PARTS! YES, I KNOW THAT HONDA HAD A LAWSUIT FOR THEIR AC AND DID A RECALL ON THEIR AC CONDENSER. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PARTS THAT HAVE DESIGN ERRORS BUT HONDA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLDEGGED THEIR MISTAKES. FOR EXAMPLE, AC EVAPORTATOR? AC COMPRESSOR? PLEASE HELP ALL THE HONDA CIVIC BUYERS! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

STEERING
DURING A RECENT ROAD TRIP WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. DURING THIS TIME, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THIS CAR HAS LANE KEEP ASSIST AND OTHER SAFETY MECHANISMS, BUT THOSE WERE TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, IT IS AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO STEER FOR ME, BUT IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. FOR EXAMPLE DURING A TURN, IT WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL - IT WOULDN'T CLICK, BUT IT WOULD OFFER STRONG RESISTANCE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS JUST STOPPING WORKING IN ONE DIRECTION? IN GENERAL IT BECOMES OVERLY DIFFICULT TO STEER AS IF IT IS "FIGHTING" AGAINST THE DRIVER. THE STEERING BECOMES "STICKY" PARTICULARLY ON TURNS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS IN DIFFERENT CAR FORUMS AND IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. IT IS GENERALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT IS INTERMITTENT, AND IT IS USUALLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A WHILE. BECAUSE IT IS MAKING THE CAR DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE PROPER LANE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44K MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. DURING A RECENT INSPECTION FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THE DEALER THEY FOUND NOTHING OBVIOUS BUT WE COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED REPLACING THE POWER STEERING RACK HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN IT OCCURS.

WE WERE ON A CITY STREET, APPROACHED AN UNKNOWN DIP IN THE ROAD. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, THE HEADLINER IS SHREDDED. THERE IS NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER, FENDERS OR HOOD. THE SRS SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON. THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK FROM THE FOB. THE SEATBELTS DO APPEAR TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. I HAVE WAITED FOR THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 98'S KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE INCLUDED BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MINE. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES AT THIS TIME BUT WILL PROVIDE.

THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING ON OUR 2016 HONDA CIVIC IN EARLY SUMMER OF 2020. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR AND WOULD COST IN EXCESS OF $2000.00 TO FIX. WE OPTED OUT OF THE REPAIR AT THAT TIME. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT HONDA HAS NOW EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS.

STEERING
OVER 40 MPH AND ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY JERKY. A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK IN THE HANDS RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY IT IS BEING TURNED. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK AND BREAKING LOOSE.
