POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Clutch System/Transmission Failure 1st Occurrence: Driving on the highway one evening at 65 mph in July of 2021. The engine began revving and the clutch was no longer functional. The engine would rev and there was no ability for me to accelerate. The vehicle decelerated placing myself at risk of getting rear ended or side swiped by other vehicles on the highway until coming to an eventual stop on the side of the highway. The vehicle was no longer operational and was towed to the nearest Honda dealership which was John Eagle Honda. The inspection, service, and repair should be available for review at John Eagle Honda. 2nd Occurrence: May of 2023. As I was making a left turn, the clutch slipped significantly and the engine revved however, the clutch was still engaging but, acceleration was significantly hindered and increased the risk of getting into an accident as I was not able to pick up speed quick enough. The vehicle was serviced and repaired at David McDavid Honda of Irving in May of 2023. 3rd Occurrence: June of 2024. I was driving on the road when I noticed that the clutch was experiencing some slight slippage. Overall the vehicle was stable and it didn't cause much of an issue but, it was similar to what had happened previously. I still was not able to accelerate as I normally could. It still poses a risk of getting into an accident and hinders my ability to maneuver quickly if needed. The vehicle was service and repaired by David McDavid Honda. In either of these occurrences there was warning light indicators or other symptoms prior to the failures and slippage. John Eagle Honda of Dallas and David McDavid Honda of Irving are dealer centers. The vehicle was serviced by John Eagle 1 time and David McDavid Honda of Irving two times. In a span of 3 years. 3 clutch failures and the vehicle is under 43,000 miles. The dealers stated no recalls out on my vehicle and that everything is fine otherwise.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
I have a 2015 Honda Civic that I just came back from the dealer with because they warning light for my airbag came on. At the dealership the code was cleared and I was told that it could be a cable reel and then reading the report from the dealership, it states that it could be a faulty airbag I feel this is very unsafe, and told let’s see what happens. I feel this is unsafe for me to be driving a car with a faulty airbag and possibly a cable that doesn’t work. My vehicle has 71000 miles and is always maintained.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
braking system warnings and possibility of brake failure warning. Dealership thought it was sensor issue and replaced sensors but it happened again and I’m also experiencing a phenomenon referred to as “phantom braking” as my car will stop as if an object is directly in front of me while I’m driving, which has happened a few times on the interstate now and I’m afraid to drive. This is a serious safety risk for all involved.

STEERING
Steering wheel sticks noticeably above 40 miles per hour. Mostly sticks whenever the steering wheel is straight, but happens otherwise as well. Trying to make minor or major corrections results in needing to fight the steering wheel to do necessary movements. Is consistent at this point and has been reproduced by an independent service center. No warning lamps are on and no DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) either.

STEERING
Steering becomes “sticky” intermittently. Steering wheel requires additional force beyond what is normal to change direction and turn wheels. Issue seems most prevalent at highway speeds when navigating bends in the road that require 10-20 degrees of steering deflection in either direction of center. Once the steering wheel is held at such an angle for a few seconds consecutively it takes substantially more force than normal from the driver to move the steering wheel back towards center. This results in over correction and makes it difficult to control the vehicle and keep it in one lane. Issue is also observed occasionally when making minor corrections to keep the vehicle in its lane on straight stretches of highway. Issue occurs with VSA system on and off. Turning the LKAS on or off has no effect. Issue is intermittent but seems more prevalent during warmer weather.

STEERING
Power steering sticks making small lane maintaining adjustments difficult. Usually happens after the vehicle has been outside in warm weather. Often results in over-correcting, causing vehicle to veer too far within the lane resulting in another correction in the opposite direction. It makes maintaining safe distance from other vehicles or barriers difficult. There are no warning lamps, check engine light, or messages prior to or after the problem. The vehicle is in otherwise excellent condition and has not been inspected by a dealer or mechanic for this problem.

STEERING
After approximately 15 minutes of driving the steering becomes sticky. At highway speeds the steering does not self center. The slightest left/right movement will cause the vehicle to continue in that direction until driver input to counter the motion. Steering rack is making clicking/groaning noise when the steering wheel is turned more than 45 degrees either direction when the vehicle is sitting still. This has been an ongoing problem since approximately 2022.

STEERING
2022 Honda Civic Sport sedan has a sticky steering wheel. The steering will stick when turning on the highway or when accelerating to highway speeds. When I need to correct it, the steering wheel will jerk back and swerve the car often into the other lane or off the road. This is incredibly dangerous and should not be happening to a car this new. After research online I see thousands of other people having the same issue.

STEERING
Steering has a “sticky” feeling. Similar to recall on 22-24 civics. Steering wheel will get stuck in a long turn and require extra force to correct back to center, leading to swerving into other lanes of traffic leading to accident/injuries. Seal in Steering Rack and Pinion fails, creating suction in a turn and leads to stuck steering. Problem confirmed by dealer on car with 63k miles, denied as warranty or tsb. Over $4,000 quoted to replace. No warning lamps or messages displayed. Will lead to accidents and or injuries.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Gas door opens randomly and it’s happened more than a few times now which is becoming a safety hazard especially because I drive 80 miles daily for work. Also my automatic brake senor is a hazard because it’s going off when cars or objects are farther away; which leads to the 3rd issue with my seat belts which is either to tight on the chest area and possibly choking me when the car automatically brakes when objects aren’t near or in close distance to my car

When driving, especially at higher speeds the steering becomes sticky. It is hard to make minor adjustments and is incredibly unsafe as it at times snaps back when trying to turn in either direction.
