AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
AT APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES LATELY DUE TO TRAFFIC SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL. THE PEDAL WENT IMMEDIATELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE HAD FAILED TO SLOW OR STOP. TO AVOID ACCIDENT I VEERED TO THE DIRT SHOULDER AND BEGIN TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ENDING UP BACK ON THE ROAD AND CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SEATBELTS HAD FAILED TO LOCK AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NEVER DEPRESSED AND IT APPEARED THAT AS SOON AS THE TIRES HIT THE DIRT SHOULDER THE VEHICLE GAIN SPEED. IN ADDITION AIRBAGS WERE NEVER DEFLATED.

STEERING
STEERING ISSUE- ONCE WARMED UP AND AT HIGHER SPEEDS (NOTICED ON HIGHWAY) CAR PULL LEFT AND RIGHT. MUST USE FORCE TO CORRECT MERGING OF THE CAR. RESPONSE TIME IS LOW WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT THE CAR BACK INTO YOUR LANE. ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE WHEEL IS STICKING. CAR ONLY HAS 34K MILES- NO REPORTED ACCIDENTS. NO DAMAGE TO STEERING THAT I CAN SEE. MANY SITES HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT WERE FOUND BY A SEARCH

ENGINE
MY AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND LEAKING THE NEW VERY FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT R1234YF GAS OUT FROM THE COMPRESSOR ITSELF. THE SHAFT SEAL SEEMS TO BE WHERE IT IS LEAKING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE COMPRESSORS THEY INSTALLED IN THEIR CARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MERGING FROM AN ON RAMP. THE CAR SUDDENLY DEAD STOPPED, BRAKES FULLY ENGAGED. THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO ME, BUT NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME TO CAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD. THERE WAS NOTHING ANYWHERE AROUND ME. I APPROACHED A GREEN LIGHT, AND AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE CARS BRAKING SYSTEM FULLY ENGAGED. IT SCREECHED THE CAR TO A HALT. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT OF MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN FAILED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER HAVING WORKED PROFITABLY AT THE START OF THIS SUMMER SEASON. REPLACING THE FUSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER'S FUNCTION DID NOT YIELD IN A CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE. AFTER HAVING TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CONDENSER OF THE CIVIC WAS FAULTY. NEITHER TRAUMA NOR DAMAGE WAS FOUND BY THE SERVICE PERSONNEL. FURTHERMORE, THEY HAD INDICATED THAT THIS IS QUITE A COMMON COMPLAINT OF THIS YEAR'S MODEL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

ENGINE
I DO OIL CHANGE BY MYSELF. HERE I AM REPORTING FUEL DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL ISSUE ON MY CAR. THE SECOND LAST TIME OF MY CAR'S OIL CHANGE WAS ON MARCH 16 2019. I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL STRICTLY TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AS WELL AS THE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT. I ADDED 3.7 QT OF NEW MOTOR OIL (MOBIL 1 ADVANCED FUEL ECONOMY FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20), WHICH IS THE VOLUME SPECIFIED ON THE MANUAL BOOK. LAST WEEKEND ON JULY 7 2019 I DID OIL CHANGE AGAIN, STILL FOLLOWING THE MANUAL BOOK STRICTLY. WHAT MADE ME CONCERNED WAS THAT THE VOLUME OF THAT USED MOTOR OIL WAS CLEARLY GREATER THAN WHAT I ADDED ON MARCH 16. THE MOTOR OIL I PURCHASED CAME WITH SEALED BOTTLES, EACH CONTAINING 1 QT VOLUME. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE USED OIL FULFILLED 4 BOTTLES, WHICH WAS 10% MORE THAN WHAT I ADDED 3 MONTHS BEFORE. THIS WAS THE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WENT INTO THE MOTOR OIL, WHICH I BELIEVED WAS GASOLINE, BECAUSE THE USED OIL HAD A GASOLINE SMELL. DURING THIS PERIOD, I ONLY CHOSE TOP TIER GASOLINE BRANDS AND ADDED REGULAR #87 WHICH WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA, THEREFORE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE I ADDED WAS NO PROBLEM; I DIDN'T SEE LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT, BRAKE FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID DURING THIS TIME.

STEERING
STEERING BECOMES VERY RESISTANT TO INPUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED (60MPH +) REQUIRING CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO OVERCOME OFTEN RESULTING IN OVER CORRECTION. HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITANTLY SINCE PASSING THE 50000 MILE MARKER.

STEERING
STICKING STERING WHEEL. MY STEERING "STICKS" AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20-30 MINS AT AROUND 40/45+ MPH WHEN TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 70F. TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE WHEEL ON A SLIGHT CURVE AND IT STAYS WITH THE CURVE. TRYING TO DO A SLIGHT CORRECTION WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS AND IT LITERALLY STICKING IN PLACE FOR A SEC THEN ALLOWS THE WHEEL TO TURN MORE FREELY.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2016 HONDA CIVIC AND ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MOSTLY ON THE INTERSTATE, THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD GET "STICKY". I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE MECHANIC. WHEN I CAME BACK HE TOLD ME HIM AND ALL OF HIS TECHNICIANS DROVE THE CAR AND NO ONE HAD A CLUE AS TO WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. OVER TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. ONLY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS POSITIONED 100% STRAIGHT. WHEN YOU PULL TO ONE SIDE, AND IT NEVER MATTERS LEFT OR RIGHT BECAUSE IT'S BOTH SIDES, IT'S LIKE ITS STUCK OR PULLING AGAINST YOU, LIKE A RESISTANCE. THEN IT SUDDENLY LET'S GO AND IT JERKS. AND THEN IT'S BACK THE OTHER WAY. SO YOU'RE FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL THE WHOLE TIME DRIVING WHILE YOU'RE JERKING BACK AND FORTH SIDE TO SIDE ALL OVER THE LANE. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE JUST INTERSTATE. DUE TO BEING A SINGLE MOM AND NOT HAVING THE "TIME OFF WORK" AS WELL AS NO ONE BELIEVING ME, HERE I AM ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER AND IT'S SO MUCH WORSE. IT'S ALSO SUMMER NOW WHICH I NOTICE IT'S ALSO AT ITS WORST WHEN ITS BLAZING TEMPERATURES. IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR A NOISE NOW WHEN IT DOES IT. I'VE LOOKED THIS UP BECAUSE I FELT LIKE PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I CAN'T FIGURE HOW THIS HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THINGS ON VEHICLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER A WHILE. THEY NEED MAINTENANCE AND THEY COST MONEY. BUT FOR THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THE SAME CAR AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE?! I BOUGHT A HONDA FOR THE NAME, FOR THE QUALITY, AND FOR THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT AT THIS POINT, THAT IT'S BEING LOOKED OVER, I'M ON THE VERGE OF TRADING IT IN FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN A HONDA.

ENGINE
A COUPLE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A 2007 HONDA CIVIC WITH 150,000 MILES, IT SUDDENLY OVERHEATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND BEGAN SMOKING AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. UPON EXAMINING THE CAR, THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR (DESPITE ADDING COOLANT, THE COOLANT LEVELS CONSISTENTLY DROP BUT THERE IS NO EXTERNAL LEAK). FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. HONDA RECOGNIZED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCKS FOR 2007 HONDA CIVICS WERE DEFECTIVE (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 10-048) BUT NO LONGER COVERS REPAIRS FOR THE SAFETY RISK THAT THEIR DEFECTIVE ENGINE BLOCKS POSE TO DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WHEN THEIR CARS OVERHEAT.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL JULY 06, 2019 ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT NEVER CAME BACK ON UNTIL RECENTLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS LIT ON THE DASH. MY VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE AIRBAG CODE I GET WHEN I SCAN THE VEHICLE IS A "CODE 33-10 OPEN IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR." AIRBAGS IN VEHICLES SHOULD NOT GO BAD FOR NO REASON ESPECIALLY CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THIS AIRBAG WENT BAD (DEFECTIVE). I WENT ONLINE AND I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO ON HONDA VEHICLES. I WAS ABOUT TO SELL MY CAR AND NOW THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME, THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE. MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC HAD 115,000 MILES WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON IN THE DASH. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU.
