STEERING
I bought the vehicle. Everything was cool and I have this issue with the steering that is on recall. I contacted the Honda dealer. They said that I have to contact Canada because it was manufactured in Canada and give me a runaround. My VIN number shows no recalls but the year make a model is on recall in both US and Canada having an issue because the car is in our title vehicle which is reconstructed but everything I guess that was done to the vehicle without my knowledge before everything has been bought at the Honda dealer where I don’t know.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:CONDENSOR/EVAPORATOR
Since I have purchased my vehicle back in 2017 everything was running smooth with the A/C until one day one side of my center air vents was blowing hot air when the A/C was turned on. Then I kept hearing a hissing sound (like gasses escaping or boiling water) coming from the bottom of my dash on the front passenger side. So I called Honda and informed them. I dropped off vehicle to Honda I spoke with the service manager and he stated that they would take a look at it. After my vehicle was serviced they stated it was the AC condenser and it was replaced. That I should be good now. A few weeks later I heard the same escaping gas noises coming from the same area again. I called Honda and told them that I continued to hear the same gasses escaping from inside my car. This time they said it was the fan blower motor and that was replaced. A few months later I heard the same sound again and took it back in and they said that my refrigerant was low and that they will fill it up. All seemed to be ok. Then just recently (about 2 weeks ago) I take my car in to Honda (I'm now living in [XXX]) to get the a/c checked because it was blowing warm air again and I was hearing the escaping gasses again and they said it was the compressor seal and that was replaced. They also mentioned that my Evaporator Core was leaking and needed to be replaced. That costs $2850 to be replaced. I was shocked by the price and I stated that I've been telling Honda Techs this for years and no one care to replace it during warranty and now that 84k warranty is up now they want to fix it and charge me $2850!! I called Honda Corp and expressed my frustration on how their techs never cared to check my evaporator core (Where all the refrigerant was always leaking from) and they said its not a recall so they won't fix it. I then informed them that there are hundreds of civics with the same evaporator core issues and this is creates a cabin visibility issues and extreme heat hazard. This needs to be checked INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF I

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic SI. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH with the cruise control activated, a semi-truck abruptly entered the lane the vehicle was driving in, and the brake pedal became firm. The contact stated that the cruise control failed to disengage while depressing the brake pedal. Due to the firmness of the brake pedal, the contact was forced to abruptly switch lanes. The contact stated that the vehicle almost crashed into a second semi-truck after switching lanes. The contact stated a patch of the road opened, and the contact avoided crashing into the second semi-truck. The braking functionality eventually returned after the initial failure, and the contact resumed normal driving. The contact and his wife suffered from severe mental trauma from the near crashes. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
No "incident" happened. When I purchased my vehicle, the body/fender/hood did not match up on either side. As soon as I purchased my car brand new, I started having multiple noises ( I am still hearing) when I turn my car, I got the steering gearbox recall over a year ago and the noise went away and came back. The sharper I turn, the squeakier the noise. My wastegate actuator makes a metal rattle noise when I drive, it is loose which I was told is normal but I can still hear the rattle at highway speeds..does not sound reassuring. I have taken it to 3 hondas...gave up last year. Its concerning seeing the gearbox recall keep coming out on other vehicles especially not seeing a recall come up for me...as they cannot just perform the remedy again. I do not plan on keeping this car past my warranty as I fear something terrible will happen and fall on me. Most dealership visits they have not been able to duplicate the concern, I reached out to american honda and they were of no assistance as they told me to deal with the dealership directly. The latest noise I am hearing...no longer the wastegate rattle but more of a constant clanking. Everyone says to buy Honda for ease of mind but in the first year alone the dealership saw it more for concerns than maintenance..

ENGINE
The engine in my Honda Civic Si failed prematurely at 28,677 miles while the vehicle was still within Honda’s 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Honda and the dealership denied warranty coverage based on a recorded engine overspeed event of 6,900 RPM that occurred earlier at 19,259 miles. The engine’s rev limiter is 6,600 RPM, meaning the recorded event exceeded the limiter by only 300 RPM. After this recorded event, the vehicle continued to operate normally for approximately 9,400 additional miles with no warning lights, drivability issues, or indication of engine damage. The engine failure occurred suddenly at low mileage without prior symptoms. Honda has not provided clear technical evidence demonstrating how a minor overspeed event of this magnitude, occurring thousands of miles earlier, directly caused the engine failure. This raises concerns about premature engine failure, possible engine defects, and the reliability and durability of the Honda Civic Si 1.5T engine. It also raises concerns about manufacturers denying warranty coverage for failures without clear causal evidence. This failure resulted in loss of vehicle function and significant financial burden. The vehicle has been properly maintained and was operated under normal driving conditions. I am submitting this complaint because premature engine failure at such low mileage may indicate a defect affecting engine durability, safety, and reliability

STEERING
While driving I'm having difficulting staying in the center of my lane because my steering wheel is not allowing minor steering adjustments without sticking in place temporarily. I need to apply more pressure than expected to turn the wheel before it unsticks. My local Honda dealer recently replicated this behavior on a test drive and is recommending I replace my EPS gearbox, outlined in a service bulletin issued by Honda related to this symptom (Service Bulletin/Manufacturer communication: 23-037). Honda has agreed to pay 50% of the repair since I am out of warranty - my mileage on my vehicle is a little over 41K. I am asking Honda to pay for the full repair given the related EPS saftey recall they have issued, but they have not agreed to do this yet. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to experiencing these steering problems.

STEERING
I bought my car brand new from Honda in 2023. When the car had about 20,000 miles on it I took it in to my dealer for a steering issue “sticky steering” they said they could not reproduce the issue. Fast forward about a year they finally came out with a recall for the issue. I took the car in for the recall the repaired it and it was fixed for about a year and now the issues with the steering have come back. The dealership told me they performed the recall again and it did not fix the issue this time and they said I need a new steering rack. Honda is not wanting to replace the steering rack they want me to pay part of the cost. How am I responsible for paying for repairs on something they have a recall on and they admitted that should not have to. But yet they are still wanting me to pay for 30% of the repair bill which is over $1,000.

STEERING
The steering on the vehicle exhibits unusual resistance when on center above 40mph - sort of a 'sticking' feeling. To properly correct the vehicles lane position at Hwy speeds, driver needs both hands. To move the steering in these situations requires significantly more torque than normal, and when you have applied enough torque, the steering will suddenly move, making it easy to overcorrect.
