POWER TRAIN
I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC TOURING SPORT IN A PARKING GARAGE (2/27/2020) WHEN THE CAR WAS IN 'DRIVE', NOT 'PARK.' WHILE STORING ITEMS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC (12 FEET?) AND HIT ANOTHER CAR CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE. MY CAR DID THIS SO SILENTLY THAT THE ONLY ALERT I RECEIVED WAS THE CRASH ITSELF; THE CAR'S COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. MY 14 MONTH OLD BABY WAS SITTING IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. HAD OTHER DRIVERS NOT BEEN CAREFUL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THESE CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO INTO PARK WHEN THEY'RE TURNED OFF. IN CLOSING, I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH, AND SEVERAL OTHER 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAVE FILLED 'ROLLAWAY CAR' COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ONE: HTTPS://TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/CONSUMER-PRODUCTS/AUTO-NEWS/868008-HONDA-CIVIC-ROLLAWAY-PROBLEM-PURPORTEDLY-ROLLED-FORWARD-TO-2017-AND-2018-CARS/ HTTPS://WWW.CLASSACTION.ORG/HONDA-ROLL-AWAY-LAWSUITS THIS VEHICLE SEEMS AS UNSAFE AS A 737 MAX!

TWO OF MY FOUR MICHELIN PILOT SPORT TIRES HAVE BELT SEPARATION. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF IMPACT DAMAGE (BULGED SIDEWALLS) THE TIRES HAVE UNDER 28K MILES, AND THE REMAINING TREAD I ESTIMATE AT 6/32S. BOTH OF THESE TIRES HAVE SPENT MOST OF THEIR LIFE ON THE REAR OF MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. BEING ON THE REAR (TO ME) MEANS NO WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION, NO STEERING FORCE, NO ACCELERATION FORCE, AND UNDER 50% OF BRAKING FORCE. THE FRONT TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN NOISE FROM THE REAR, AND I CANNOT PINPOINT THE EXACT START. THE DIAGNOSIS CAME FROM COSTCO TIRE CENTER #0328. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME AND HAD ME TOUCH/FEEL THE DEFECTS WITH MY HANDS. THE DEFECTS ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD, AND ARE NOT NEAR THE SIDES AT ALL. MY TIRE SIZE IS 215/55R16 I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OR FURTHER ATTACHMENTS. I CAN PROVIDE THE SERIAL NUMBERS IF REQUIRED. THE DATE BELOW REPRESENTS THE DIAGNOSIS DATE. THE ZERO SPEED REPRESENTS AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE LIFT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND SUDDENLY HEAR A WHIRRING NOISE. I'M SURE I DIDN'T HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE AT THE TIME. THE WHIRRING KEPT GOING AS I WAS TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO MY HOME, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED WOBBLING FROM BACK AND FORTH. I TRIED TO MAKE IT AS CLOSE TO HOME AS I COULD, BUT WHEN I FINALLY PULLED OVER, I SAW THE TIRE COMPLETELY EXPLODED AND WAS TORN OFF THE CAR, SO I WAS BASICALLY RIDING ON THE RIM. THE TIRE TIRE OFF MY FENDER LINER AS WELL.

ENGINE
CAR TEMPERATURE STARTED TO INCREASED RAPIDLY, SMOKE FROM ENGINE, REVVING BUT NOT ACCELERATING MUCH AND FINALLY IT OVERHEATED AND DIED. CAN TO FIND OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED FROM RADIATOR LEAK THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT AND DID NOT INFORM ME OF. MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALERSHIP REGULARLY AND WAS THE ONLY OWNER OF CAR. BECAUSE I DRIVE SO LITTLE MILES PER YEAR, PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY HAD TO 'RESOLVE' THIS PROBLEM FOR OWNERS. WHY WOULDN'T THEY TELL ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. HAD TO MAKE TOO MANY PHONE CALLS TO FINALLY HAVE THEM REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $3500. IT'S UNSCRUPULOUS FOR A CORPORATION TO KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM BUT JUST EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND NOT RECALL IT AND THEN NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE TIME WINDOW. VERY DISPLEASED WITH HONDA.

ENGINE
THIS 2006 HONDA CIVIC HAS LESS THAN 70K MILES ON IT. ON FEBRUARY 22, 2020, MY FAMILY DROVE ABOUT 8 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED A SMELL OF ANTI-FREEZE. WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION, WE CHECKED THE ENGINE AND SAW FLUID LEAKING ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH SO WE DROVE ANOTHER 8 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE THE CAR BACK HOME. WHEN WE PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, COOLANT COMPLETELY EMPTIED ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR FROM A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WHILE WE FEEL THANKFUL WE WERE ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE IN THE ENGINE HAD WE BEEN DRIVING A LONGER DISTANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, 2006 HONDA CIVICS HAVE RECOGNIZED ISSUES WITH CRACKED ENGINE BLOCKS. THE COMMON FAILURE IN THESE ENGINES SHOULD WARRANT SOME TYPE OF RECALL AS THESE CARS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ON THE ROADWAYS. THE FAILURE IN THE ENGINE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE SEIZING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IS INCREDIBLY HIGH AND POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROADWAYS. I'M URGING NHTSA TO TAKE THE PROPER ACTIONS SO HONDA WILL REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND PREVENT POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC FAILURES RELATED TO THE FAULTY ENGINE BLOCKS IN THESE HONDA CIVICS.

I OWN A 6 SPEED MANUAL SPORT COUPE PURCHASED ON 5/30/19. ON 2/10/20 I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL 15- 20' BEHIND CAR IN FRONT. SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A WHILE, MY CAR STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I PUSHED HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDEAL BUT NO RESPONSE AND COASTED INTO REAR OF CAR. ONE PERSON IN EACH CAR AND NOBODY INJURED. FEARFUL THAT BRAKE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR AGAIN, HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. RECEIPT TO ME INDICTED THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, INSPECTED BRAKE SYSTEM AND TEST DROVE CAR. "ADVISED CUSTOMER NO PROBLEMS AT THE MOMENT". AS NOTED BEFORE TESTING, SINCE NO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS FOUND WAS CHARGED $139.95. ON 2/11, RECEIVED CALL FROM MGR. OF HONDA SVC. DEPT. DUE TO MY NEGATIVE SURVEY RESPONSES. TOLD HIM I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH ANSWER BY EMPLOYEE TO MY QUESTION OF WHY FORWARD COLLISION MITIGATION/FCM DID NOT BRAKE WHEN GETTING CLOSE TO CAR. MGR. STATED THAT FCM IS DESIGNED NOT TO WORK WHEN CAR IN NEUTRAL OR REVERSE. I CONSIDER LACK OF FCM IN NEUTRAL TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY DESIGN FLAW. MGR. THEN RECOMMENDED THAT I OPEN CASE WITH HONDA CUSTOMER RELATIONS WHICH DONE ON 2/14. REP. TOOK DOWN MY INFO. AND ASKED WHAT I WANTED FROM HONDA. I SAID THEY NEED TO DETERMINE WHY THE BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENED AND WHAT CAN BE DONE SO I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL NEVER OCCUR AGAIN. SHE THEN GAVE ME A CASE # AND STATED THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REFERRED TO THE "LEVEL 1" DEPT. HANDLING ACCIDENTS/INJURIES/FATALITIES. RECEIVED A CALL FROM "LEVEL 1" ON 2/17 BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO/WAS A LOCAL DEALER ISSUE AND HE WAS TO CONTACT THE MGR. OF THE LOCAL HONDA SVC. DEPT. I SENT VOICE/E-MAILS TO MGR. OF LOCAL HONDA SVC. DEPT. ON 2/21 NOTING MY EXPERIENCE WITH CUST. RELATIONS/"LEVEL 1", AND ASKING WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS -- AWAITING RESPONSE. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR/ON EDGE. *LN *AS
