STEERING
I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND AT ABOUT 35500 MILES THE STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, STRAIGHT ALWAYS OR TURNS IT KEEPS FEELING LIKE IT IS STICKING. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO HAD ME PAY FOR AN ALIGNMENT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT PULLING. IT DID NOT WORK AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THEY HAVE NO OTHER SOLUTIONS. IT IS DANGEROUS AND I AM STILL PAYING ON MY CAR SO I NEED IT.

AIR BAGS
IN THE PAST I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL DETAILING AN AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL CONTAINING MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO GET IT REPLACED, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ACTUALLY AFFECTED IN THE RECALL AND A REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT BE NEEDED. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THIS TIME THEY CONFIRMED THAT IN FACT MY CAR NEEDS REPLACEMENTS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR THINKING IT WAS SAFE, BASED ON THE HONDA DEALERSHIP'S WORD, WHEN IN FACT IT HAS NOT BEEN SAFE TO DRIVE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2014 HONDA CIVIC WITH 136000 ON THE CAR THAT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM STARTING. SOME 2014 HONDA CIVIC WERE RECALLED FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLE, 2014 CIVIC MODEL MISS THE RECALL. ALL CIVICS HAVE A PRETTY SIMILAR SETUP AS FAR AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. AS FAR AS HONDA GOES THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THERE ENGINES LASTING A WHILE AND HAVING NO ISSUES YET I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT IS YET UNKNOWN AND WILL COST AT LEAST 5K TO FIX. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THE CARS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DOWNSHIFT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS CAR HAS A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION YET WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUMPS GEARS, YOU GET THE FEELING AS IF YOU ARE ON A MOTORCYCLE AND IT STALLS AND JUMPS FORWARD. ALONG WITH THAT THERE'S A SLIGHT NOICE THAT IS WORKING OVERTIME. (INCIDENT OCCURS AROUND 2MPH-65)

STEERING
STEERING IS NOTCHY AND WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR THE STEERING IS JITTERY, STICKY AND HARD TO MOVE. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE FROM SPEEDS BETWEEN 20-70 MILES PER HOUR. ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK, WHEN I TRY TO SLOWLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IT WILL SHAKE AND STUFFER. IT'S VERYBHARD TO MOVE THE STEERING RACK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND MIGHT CAUSE A COLLISION.

STEERING
2016 HONDA CIVIC LX, APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES HAS A "STICKY" OR "NOTCHY" FEEL TO THE STEERING DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE DRIFTS SLOWLY TO ONE SIDE OF THE LANE, THEN WHEN I TRY TO CORRECT BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE, THE STEERING FEELS STICKY AND WITH SLIGHTLY MORE EFFORT TO NUDGE IT TO THE MIDDLE, IT OVERCORRECTS SLIGHTLY AND IS THEN DRIFTING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LANE. THIS CONTINUES BACK AND FORTH FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. NOTE THAT THIS IS SUBTLE AND IT TAKES 5-10 SECONDS FOR EACH DRIFT SIDE TO SIDE. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR AT LEAST 30 OR 45 MINUTES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ELECTRONIC STEERING PROBLEM WILL CAUSE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHERE I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I NOTICED ALSO A POSSIBLE RELATED PROBLEM WHEN AT PARKING SPEED, IF I INCH THE CAR WHILE TURNING AND PRESSING THE BRAKE LIGHTLY I CAN FEEL THE STEERING "TWITCH" A LITTLE.

ENGINE
BRAND NEW 2019 CIVIC WITH A LEAKING CONDENSER. CAR HAS 4862MILES, WITH ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. HONDA REFUSED COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT DONE ALL THEY CAN TO PROTECT SUCH A FRAGILE COMPONENT. WAS TOLD A "SMALL PEBBLE" HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. IN 2012 HONDA SETTLED A 40MILLION DOLLAR CLASS ACTION FOR THIS VERY SAME THING ON THE CRV AND OTHER MODELS. ON THIS CLASS ACTION THEY AGREED TO HAVE DEALERSHIPS PUT A METAL SCREEN TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THIS WITH ALL VEHICLES!?!?! HONDA IS STRAIGHT UP RUNNING A SCAM ON IT'S CUSTOMERS. AT $1,000.00 A POP PER REPAIR, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO SEEING AT LEAST 5 OF THIS TYPE OR REPAIR COMING THROUGH EVERY WEEK!! IMAGINE HOW MUCH REFRIGERANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE!? 5 A WEEK AT ONE DEALERSHIP....WOW.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE WASHING MY 2 DAY OLD CAR A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF THE LOWER KICK PANEL. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR IT. I TOLD THEM THEY COULD HAVE THE CAR BACK. SUDDENLY THEY WERE GOING TO REPAIR IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE PANEL. 2 DAYS AGO ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR TO THE DAY,I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF ( A BIT IRONIC). I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (CANT TRUST SUPERSTITION SPRINGS AFTER THEY LIED TO ME). I CALLED HONDA THEY SAID NO PROBLEM TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE HONDA SAID THEY HAD PAID FOR THE FIX ONCE. NO WAY THEY REPLACED THE PANEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF IT EVER BEING REPLACED AND THE PAPER WORK I HAVE DOES NOT STATE THE PANEL WAS REPLACED. THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE PANEL, THEY SLAPPED SOME TOUCH UP ON IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY.

THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO A SET OF 4 COOPER GLS TOURING TIRES PURCHASED FROM NTB, CLOVER, SC. TIRE INFORMATION (COOPER GLS TOURING, 185/65R 14 86T, U96L1DR0917, 1 EACH AND U96L1DR1116, 3 EACH) WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE TIRES, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A SLOW LEAK TAKING SEVERAL DAYS TO DEFLATE. ON 12/16/2018, I WAS IN HAMPTON, VA WHEN THE TIRE DEVELOPED A MORE SERIOUS LEAK AND DEFLATED WITHIN A FEW HOURS. I WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO THE CLOVER, SC LOCATION ON THIS TIRE AND TOOK IT TO THE HAMPTON, VA LOCATION WHERE THE TIRE WAS PATCHED. HOWEVER, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS THE SLOW LEAK RETURNED WHICH PROGRESSED INTO A FASTER LEAK OVER TIME. I RETURNED THE TIRE TO THE CLOVER, SC LOCATION WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THE TIRE BALANCING WEIGHT HAD BROKEN THE BEAD AND THAT WAS THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK. AT THIS TIME IT SEEMED THAT THE TIRE PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESSED. HOWEVER, ON 6/16/2019 THIS TIRE SUFFERED A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC DEFLATION WHILE PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF WALMART IN OSAGE BEACH, MO. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND WALKED INSIDE THE TIRE CENTER OF WALMART WHERE IT WAS REPLACED. NOTE THAT THE TIRE WAS EXAMINED AND NO EXTERNAL PUNCTURE OR SIDE WALL DAMAGE WAS PRESENT. THIS TIRE SUFFERED SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC DEFLATION WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE TIRE. ON 7/11/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE SUFFERED A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC DEFLATION WHEN THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN NORTH ON I-77 NEAR ELKIN, NC. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY. NTB IN CHRISTIANSBURG, VA WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE TIRE AND I PURCHASED ANOTHER. DURING THIS VISIT THE NTB TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME A THIRD TIRE HAS AN INTERNAL DEFECT (BUSTED BELT). AT THIS TIME 3 OF THE 4 TIRES HAVE EITHER FAILED OR HAVE AN INTERNAL DEFECT.

STEERING
ON JULY 7, 2019 I WENT OUT STARTED MY CAR AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY WHEEL TO GET OUT MY PARKING SPACE THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN IT WAS LOCKED THEN THE DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE SAYING CHECK POWER SYSTEM STEERING. THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WAS MONDAY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP, THE TOW DRIVER HAD A VERY HARD TIME TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE DUE TO THE WHEELS LOCKING UP, YET BY THE TIME MY CAR ARRIVED AT THE SHOP THE STEERING WAS BACK. I NOW HAVE A CAR I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, CAN'T IMAGINE DRIVING AND LOSING THE POWER TO STEER.

THE AC COMPRESSOR IS NOT WORKING, AND LEAKING FLUIDS WHICH IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. PURCHASED VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP "CHARGED UP" THE COMPRESSOR, 3 DAYS LATER IT WAS NOT WORKING. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY FILLED IT UP AGAIN, 3 DAYS LATER IT STOPPED WORKING. THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE, BUT THERE IS AN AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE IN THIS MODEL, WHICH I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE.

TAKATA RECALL. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YRS. THE PROBLEM WITH IT IS THAT, WHEN I COME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING IT DOESN'T WANNA TAKE OFF. IT HESITATES FOR ABOUT 30 SEC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT ITS DANGEROUS WHEN I TURN LEFT IT STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ST AND I CAN GET HIT. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO PUT IT IN EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND TURN IT OFF AND ON. THEN IT WORKED. ITS BEEN DOING IT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. IT STARTED IN ABOUT APRIL. AT FIRST IT WASN'T THAT OFTEN THEN IT STARTED EVERYDAY. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE, ST HIGHWAY, FWY, CITY EVEN WHEN I WANNA REVERSE. IM NOT SURE WHY ITS DOING IT I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC ABOUT 4 TIMES. I DO ALL OIL CHANGES EVERYTHING , TIRE CHANGES, ROTATIONS, THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. HE EVEN CHANGED A SENSOR AND IT STILL DOES IT.
