ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS OUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN MORE SEVERE. THE 1ST PROBLEM IS THE DISPLAY FOR THE RADIO, HEATING AND COOLING AND THE SPEED DISPLAY HAS BEEN EFFECTED SOME BUT NOT LIKE THE RADIO AND COOLING/HEATING DISPLAY. IT HAS GONE BLANK, IT HAS FROZE UP. IT HAS LOST ALL FUNCTIONING. THE 2ND IS THE AIR COMPRESSOR. IT HAS A LEAK AND APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE TOURINGS. PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THEM AND HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THE DISPLAYS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BOTH IN DRIVE MODES AND PARKED. I HAVE GOOGLED ON HOW TO FIX THOSE ISSUES AND WE HAVE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO DO THE SAME. THE COOLING/HEATING SYSTEM COOLS SOME TIMES BUT NOT ALL THE TIME.

AIR BAGS
CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES WHEN GO OVER SPEED BUMP, SOMETIMES JUST DRIVING ON SMOOTH ROAD, OR MAKING A TURN. NO REAL PATTERN DISCOVERED YET. STARTED SOMETIME AGO BUT CAME ON MAYBE ONCE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. NOW HOWEVER IT IS OCCURRING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY ALMOST DAILY. IT HAS BEEN RATHER HOT AND HUMID SINCE OCCURRENCES STARTED BEING MORE FREQUENT NOT SURE IF THAT IS COINCIDENCE OR PART OF REASON FOR THE INCREASE. ONCE CAR IS TURNED OFF THE LIGHT IS GONE TILL THE NEXT RANDOM OCCURRENCE. IT HAS NOT TURNED ON WITHOUT THE VEHICLE MOVING AT THIS POINT.

ENGINE
MY 07 CIVIC DEVELOP A LONG CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE HONDA REP SAYS IT MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IS OVER. WHICH I DON'T THINK IS FAIR. HONDA KNEW OF THE DEFECT AND NOT ALL HONDA'S DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM IT'S JUST US UNLUCKY FEW THAT GOT THE BAD ONE'S.

AIR BAGS
CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND ALMOST DAILY. HONDA IS QUOTING $500-2000 TO FIX BUT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH LOTS SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY WITH NO BETTER RESULTS. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR WITH JUST 68,000 MILES. WE AS CUSTOMERS EXPECT THESE SAFETY ISSUES TO WORK AS DESIGNED. OUR LIFE COULD DEPEND ON IT. FROM MY LIMITED RESEARCH THIS IS A WIDESPREAD, KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 13 HONDA CIVIC.

ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OIL LEAKED INTO THE COOLANT AND THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL. THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THEN LEAKED COOLANT FROM THE VENTS. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER OVERHEATING. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW WATER PUMP, ONE OIL RING, AND A PLASTIC HOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

A/C WENT OUT AT 24,000 MILES- THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL BLACK INTERIOR. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD SOMETHING PUNCTURED THE A/C COMPRESSOR, VERY LIKELY A SMALL ROCK BOUNCED UP AND HIT IT. CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS AN OUTSIDE OBJECT THAT CAUSED IT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN ANYWHERE OTHER THAN ESTABLISHED ROADS. HONDA REP WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND ARGUMENTATIVE. ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND WAS TOLD "I AM THE SUPERVISOR, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE YOU CAN SPEAK TO." RESEARCHED VERBATIM WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME BY THE MECHANIC AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN/DESIGN FLAW ON HONDA'S PART. COULD BE OVER A GRAND TO FIX. THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS VEHICLES BEING TRADED IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SOME AT 12,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
MY CAR WAS STRUCK IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT, NOT A SINGLE ONE. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WHEN ANOTHER CAR AT FULL SPEED STRUCK FROM BEHIND. FROM THE IMPACT THE SEAT WAS TWISTED AND ONCE AGAIN NO AIRBAGS CAME OUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAT BELT GOT STUCK AND ONCE I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT IT DID NOT RETURN TO ITS PLACE LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. WITHIN THIS COMPLAINT, I WILL ATTACH PICTURES FROM THE CRASH AND IT SHOWS HOW THE AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT.

WHEELS
TODAY, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC SPORT TO PERFORMANCE HONDA IN FAIRFIELD, OH FOR A WARRANTY-RELATED PROBLEM REGARDING TPMS AND A FAULTY TIRE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE DID NOT HOLD AIR. EVERY FEW DAYS, I HAD TO ADD AIR TO MY TIRES/RESET THE TPMS SYSTEM, AS DESCRIBED BY OWNERS.HONDA.COM. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY FRONT, LEFT, TIRE LOST AIR SO QUICKLY THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE HAS 4,000.00 MILES (EXACT). DURING THE TRIP THERE, THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE BLEW OUT AND JERKED ME TO THE LEFT (60 MPH). WHILE EASING INTO THE BRAKE (NOT PUMPING), I STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER LANE. UPON STOPPING, I SHIFTED INTO, "P," AND THEN ACTIVATED THE PARKING BRAKE. THEN, I TOOK MY MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. I CALLED AAA AND GOT TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY THERE. TPMS NEEDS TO TELL THE DRIVER WHAT THE PRESSURE IS IN EACH TIRE; MY GRANDFATHER HAS A 2019 VEHICLE THAT DOES. AT LEAST I WAS NOT INJURED TODAY!

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES, THE STEERING WHEEL SORT OF STICKS AND TAKES EXTRA PRESSURE TO TURN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU'RE SIMPLY TRYING TO CORRECT MINOR LANE DRIFTING TO STAY STRAIGHT AND IT TAKES EXTRA EFFORT TO DO SO. IT COULD DEFINITELY BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD YOU FAIL TO MOVE THE WHEEL IN ENOUGH TIME.

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP BACK IN 2014 AND AM THE SECOND OWNER. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE CHANCE OF THE BLOCK CRACKING OR THAT HONDA WILL ONLY WARRANTY IT TILL 10 YEARS PAST ORIGINAL PURCHASE BECAUSE IF I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT THE CAR KNOWING THAT INFO. THE CAR HAS ONLY 160,000 MILES AND I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES DONE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2004 HONDA CIVIC EX. DRIVING TO GLENDALE (1 HOUR FROM WHERE I LIVE) IN THE CITY I STARTED NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING. SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOING UP A HILL MY TRANSMISSION WASN'T WORKING ANYMORE AND WAS REVVING WITHOUT GOING INTO GEAR. I WAS IN MOTION ON A HILL ON A VERY TIGHT ROAD WHERE ONLY 1 CAR CAN PASS AT A TIME. AND CARS WERE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE PARKED CARS BECAUSE I COULD'T CONTROL THE JERKING OF THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. I HAD CARS COMING TOWARDS ME AND HAD THE CAR STALLED ON THE ROAD AND HAD TO BLOCK THE TRAFFIC FOR 30 MIN BEFORE MY FRIENDS COULD COME AND HELP ME MOVE THE CAR. THERE WAS LITTLE AMOUNT OF SPACE AND PARKING AND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR FOR A WHILE BEFORE FINDING A PARKING SPOT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 123,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS FRESH AND CLEAN AND NEVER HAD ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WITHIN 15 MIN THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION BLEW UP! I REALLY HOPE HONDA CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA'S TRANSMISSION FAILING IN THESE HONDA CIVICS BETWEEN 2000 AND 2004.
