POWER TRAIN
Transmission died at 128k miles on the highway. Steering wheel locked up. Meticulously maintained car with no prior issues. The problem has no been reproduced by a dealer as the car is undriveable but has been confirmed by a mechanic shop. There were no warning messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the transmission dying and no warning messages even after the transmission died to indicate that it was the problem.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was approaching a green light, and engaged the brakes to slow down. As I approached the light reaching approximate 10MPH. The car shuddered, and the alternator must have glitched again.The wheel cranked itself back and forth, causing the car to spin and turn into oncoming traffic. This issue has been recalled for this vehicle but not this VIN. I have notified 3 Honda repair shops of this issue, and have been turned away. The problem is with the electromagnet in the electric steering column. It is well documented, and I have video of several instances of thi issue occurring. Additional witnesses of the problem are available. And the incident itself resulting in property damage and bodily harm. Honda was made aware of this problem on multiple occasions, and did nothing to remedy the problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STEERING
Honda Civic 2014 - The right CV axle (drive shaft) was corroded and detached causing the vehicle to become immovable while in traffic. Fortunately, we were near a stop light and traffic was going slow and able to go around the vehicle without causing a crash. The vehicle had to be towed. This same issue is already a recall for the Honda Accord 2013-2015. We had this same thing happen to our 2013 Honda Accord at a major traffic intersection. Again, the vehicle had to be towed and repaired. The remaining side was replaced via Honda recall. We are asking that there be a mandatory recall of this issue for the 2014 Honda Civic as it is a safety risk. We are just lucky that both of these incidents occurred while near stop lights and no one was injured. However, there is one side remaining on our Civic that needs replaced and hopefully the recall will be issued before the car breaks down and causes a crash and possible deathly injury. We contacted Honda and they said we can take the car in for a diagnostic inspection at a personal cost to us of $100-$500 depending on the dealer. This is unacceptable.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden all the warning lights came on on the dash and the car started decelerating when I went to press on the gas pedal the engine revved but the car would not pick up speed it was in limp mode. I took it to the dealership and they said it's the transmission that needs to be replaced. Apparently this is a common. problem and should be a recall.

The contact's daughter owns a 2014 Honda Civic. The contact stated while her daughter was driving 25 MPH, she heard an abnormally loud sound coming from underneath the vehicle, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact's daughter was able to roll to the side of the road. The vehicle was then pushed to the driveway of the residence. The contact stated that she then noticed fluid, broken parts, and bolts on the ground, at the site of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to be restarted but failed to respond upon shifting into drive(D). The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V574000 (Power Train) because the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

STEERING
On August 30, while driving the power steering warning activated and the steering wheel become extremely hard to move. Stopped the car and followed the troubleshoot procedure; however, the failure persisted and had to request a tow truck. When the tow truck showed up several hours later, the steering operated normally and warning lights were gone. The car was towed to the Honda dealership Klein Honda 10611 Evergreen Way south, Everett, WA 98204. As the car was offloaded the tow truck, the steering operated normally and without any warnings. After few minutes at the dealership, I started the car and got the steering warning and the steering was extremely hard to move. The next day I got a call from the dealer and was told that the Electric Power Steering module was filled with water and was completely burned. The Service Manager provided the DTC fault codes 33-01 and 33-06. The dealership brought an expert to trace the water source on Friday Sept 8. The water expert investigated the water leak source. The water leak was caused by deteriorating insulation material on the right-hand side of the car and ended up in the Electric Power Steering module, causing the loss of steering. This raises significant concerns as a customer and as a person sharing the road with other Honda cars for the following facts: The car has low miles, less than 78000, The car is 9 years old, The car has been in mild climate/weather, Honda does not require inspection/removal and replacement of such components, There have been a significant number of events like this for this model. I'd like to request your department to open an investigation to this matter. This potentially impacts any vehicle sharing the road with Honda. In simple terms: Loss of steering = Loss of lives. Due to pure luck this did not ended in a fatal accident. 1/2 down the road it would have! Attached are pictures from the determination of the expert on how the water entered into the Electric Power Steering module.

AIR BAGS
While I was driving, a truck hit me from behind causing a 5 car accident. My car was unable to be driven from the scene. The radiator and front collision bar are very bent in, however my airbags did not deploy. The truck was going 60 mph when it hit me hard enough to cause another 3 cars to have damage. This is a potential issue for others and currently I have very bad neck and head pain from the accident. My car had a warning screen saying “check airbag system” after the accident.

Brake System, Power Steering System, ABS System, VSA System, and Hill Start Assist System lights randomly turn on all at the same time. This causes the car to jerk and have problems accelerating. Turning the steering wheel makes noises below the car. I've taken it to an independent service (shop) three times and they can't find out what is wrong. They have already refreshed the codes and checked the sensors. I changed tires and took it to auto zone, but shows no signs of any problems. The fact that it randomly turns on and starts causing all these problems, makes it hard and risky to drive anywhere. I've already had to tow it once because the jerking got so bad that pressing on the gas would not even drive/accelerate. Luckily there were not many cars near me and I was able to get far enough to find a safe place to park. I've read my blogs with people having the same problems. All have not been able to diagnose the problems and that's why they've turned to the blogs. Not knowing when these system warning lights will turn on makes it unpredictable to drive, diagnose, and fix.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
There is the second time we have a transmission failure for the 2014 Honda Civic . Even though my car vin is not shown in recall notice, there is a general recall for 2014-2015 honda civic/accord. Earlier I had another Honda which also had a transmission failure when my daughter was driving. Fortunately , there was no accident . I wrote to the American Honda to take back the car as we felt uncomfortable due to transmission failure However they took the CAR back and replaced the transmission system for that car. (I am searching my old record to get you the copy of the letter I sent to American Honda Corporation and needed time to provide the same)

AIR BAGS
The specific part is the driver side airbag inflater which is causing the airbag system to fail. The repair has not been done on the vehicle yet. According to the dealer, when the indicator light triggers, none of the airbags will inflate in an accident. After February 1, 2023 the airbag indicator is activated every time the car is driven. The car was taken to the local dealer at the end of March 2023. The service adviser said the resistance is out of tolerance for the air bag causing the entire airbag system to fail.

On March 31, 2023 while driving on I 10 from Gulfport, Ms towards Diamondhead, Ms the glass sunroof exploded for no expiable reason. I observed no discernible reason for the glass sunroof failure. Other than being startled at the loud noise, and spending $ 480 for a replacement glass sun roof, there is nothing else to add. The loud noise might cause some drivers to loose control, and traffic safely might be affected. I called a Honda dealer, explained my circumstance, they ran my vin, and there was no recall. The glass failure is in the comprehensive insurance bucket, and with my deductible, the loss was an out of pocket expense. I used Dunaway Glass in Gulfport, Ms for glass sunroof replacement. I think think they were replacing a Honda glass sunroof the day I called to make the appointment, and my sunroof glass was one of two glass sunroofs ordered together. Please verify my recollection with Dunaway. There was no warning, in any manner, at all. The glass exploded and caused me to become distracted, there was no subsequent accident.

In august 2022 I noticed a noise in my 2014 Honda Civic, I took it to my normal mechanic and was told the noise was coming from the transmission and it indicated that the transmission was failing. I took it to the local Honda dealership and was told they checked with Honda directly and there was no problem with my transmission and some vehicles just had that noise. At that time I had just over 52,000 miles on the car. In March 2023 I drove my car from IL to CO, about 200 miles from Denver the RPMs started fluttering and at one point the car accelerated without pressing on the gas. Shortly after the check transmission light came on. We got the car to a Honda dealer in Golden, CO and were told the transmission had an internal failure and had to be replaced. I paid a total of $8,600 to replace the transmission. I asked to have the old one back but was told that would cost $1,200. At this point my car had around 56,000 miles on it. Honda has refused to reimburse me at all for my transmission failing at such low mileage due to the car being 8 years old. I've researched and learned that Honda has a long term issue with their CVT transmissions yet did not take any responsibility for this failure.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This vehicle's VSA modulator is faulty. Lots of people have issues with this system. HONDA instead of helping, they have monopoly on parts and no other mechanic will fix it because honda is not allowing them so they can charge 2000$ to fix faulty VSA modulator. It's absurd that consumers doesn't have choice to fix their car from a faulty part that can only be fixed at Honda dealership. Please investigate this, I think they're doing this intentionally because it's making them money and they have no one to compete. Other similar Hondas have same faulty vsa modulator as well. Thank you
