ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY BEEN DYING AND HAVING ALL OF THE ERROR CODES POP UP WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. HOWEVER EVEN WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR STARTS FREAKING OUT AND LOSING POWER. WE HAVE VERIFIED THAT NOTHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND HAVE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED TWICE. THE BATTERY MUST NOT BE THE PROBLEM BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS MESSING UP SO MUCH THAT WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I'M HOPING BY VISITING THE DEALERSHIPS SO MANY TIMES THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A LEMON LAW VEHICLE AND RETURN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS ONLY PURCHASED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

STEERING
LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, MY 2016 CIVIC HAS THE STICKY STEERING PROBLEM. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL "STICKS" AND DOES NOT ALLOW SMALL STEERING ADJUSTMENTS. TRYING TO MOVE THE CAR A LITTLE LEFT OR RIGHT, TO CHANGE LANES FOR EXAMPLE, IS DANGEROUS -- APPLYING ENOUGH PRESSURE TO GET THE WHEEL TO MOVE MAKES THE CAR JERK. I SEE STORIES IN FORUMS ABOUT THIS GETTING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS UNFAIR I HAVE TO PAY $3K TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT.

AIR CONDITIONER HAS STOPPED WORKING. BLOWING OUT MUGGY OR HOT AIR INSTEAD OF COLD AIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BEING STATIONARY AND DRIVING ON ROADWAYS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. IT WAS ALSO KNOW PROBLEM TO HONDA AND THEY DID NOTHING TO TELL POTENTIAL BUYERS ABOUT THE KNOWN ISSUE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. ACCORDING TO THE CLASS ACTION IT INVOLVES 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS. THE ONLY ACTION HONDA TOOK WAS EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THIS WARRANTY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BEFORE EVEN LOOKING AT THE AIR CONDITIONER. FIRST WHY SHOULD THERE BE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE. NOTHING IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) 19-091 CONCERNING A/C CONDENSERS THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY DEFECTIVE IN 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS NEVER MENTIONS A DIAGNOSTIC BE COMPLETED FIRST. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING SINCE HONDA KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND REPAIR ISSUED TO DEALERS AT NO EXTRA COST TO THE CUSTOMER.. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS.

WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED ON, THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS COOL AIR, AND THE DRIVER SIDE BLOWS ROOM TEMPERATURE/WARM AIR. DEALER STATED THIS IS BECAUSE OF A LEAK FROM THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO THE FRONT SEAL FAILING. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE A/C CONDENSER FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER IT AND COSTS $1,800 TO REPAIR.

THE AIR CONDENSER IS LEAKING. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS, MY CAR FOR THE SAME FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED. I WAS CHARGED $ 500 FOR FREON REFILL BUT STILL, THERE IS A LEAK AND WOULD COST ME MORE THAN $1000 TO REPAIR.

ENGINE
VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT WITH A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO HONDA CORPORATION REGARDING WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT ON ENGINE BLOCK. HONDA CORP DENIED ME ASSISTANCE BECAUSE VEHICLE AGE IS PAST THEIR 10 YEAR EXTENSION PERIOD. I'M SECOND OWNER ON THIS VEHICLE AND DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS A POTENTIAL ENGINE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (FIRST OWNER DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS). ESTIMATED KBB VALUE WAS $4500-5000 WHICH NOW IS A NEAR TOTAL LOSS AND SALVAGE VALUE. COST FOR REPAIR IS EQUAL OR HIGHER THAN RETAIL VALUE. VEHICLE HAS WELL DOCUMENTED SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE RECORD. SEEMS UNFAIR FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO PLACE ALL THE COST ON THE OWNER WHEN THERE IS NO OWNER CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

LEAK IN 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK AC CONDENSER. HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2019 FOR OTHER TRIM HONDA CIVIC LINES,BUT APPARENTLY NOT THE HATCHBACK. THE LEAKING CONDENSER WAS THE SAME PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THIS VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT IDENTIFIED. THE RECALL OR COVERED REPAIRS SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL TRIM LINES AND VEHICLES. HONDA ONLY COVERED 1/2 OF REPAIR COSTS. THE AC CONDENSER LEAK RESULTED IN NO AC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO WINDSHIELD FOGGING AND VISIBILTY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SMALL ROCK HIT LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD AND MADE A VERY SMALL NICK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK FRIDAY AND UPON GETTING MY CAR READY SUNDAY EVENING FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY WE NOTICED A CRACK. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THIS INITIATED WHERE THAT ROCK HIT AND AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE I REALIZE I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS. THE WINDSHIELD OF THE HONDA 2016 AND NEWER IS GARBAGE. IT IS WEAK AND UNSAFE. THAT SMALL CRACK FROM SUNDAY HAS NOW REACHED HALFWAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR FEAR OF IT CAVING IN. WHY HASN'T HONDA ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE? IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS! THE CRACK IS GROWING AT AN INCREDIBLY AND TERRIFYING RATE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. THE FIRST PICTURE WAS AT 7AM, THE SECOND AT 5PM, AND THE THIRD AT 9:30PM

STEERING
WHEN CAR IS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT'S HOT OUT THE STEERING BEGINS TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND GETS STUCK AND NEEDS TO BE RECENTERED OFTEN CAUSING AN OVER CORRECTION AND JERK TO THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS CONSTANT. DOES NOT OCCUR AS MUCH AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS AT OVER 50 MPH.
