POWER TRAIN
The clutch system in my 2024 Honda Civic Sport Touring (VIN: [XXX]) failed completely at 8,126 miles, consisting of flywheel (#22100-5CD-018), friction disk (#22200-5CC-003), pressure plate (#22300-5CC-003), and release bearing (#22810-57A-006) - the exact parts Honda identified as defective in TSB 22-017 due to supplier production issues causing premature friction disc wear. The failure created immediate safety hazards including complete loss of power transmission in traffic, inability to accelerate or maintain speed, unpredictable gear engagement, and risk of being rear-ended when the vehicle suddenly lost power on busy San Diego roads, forcing an emergency roadside stop and towing. Mossy Honda Lemon Grove confirmed the failure (RO# [XXX]), documenting excessive heat causing excessive wear with hot spots all around pressure plate and clutch disc measuring only 5.24mm. Honda denied warranty coverage claiming user error without evidence, and Honda Customer Relations (Case #[XXX]) has provided no substantive response despite these being known defective components. Warning signs first appeared at approximately 4,000 miles with clutch slippage during uphill parking, progressively worsening to include burning smell, difficulty engaging gears, and slippage under normal acceleration before complete failure at 8,126 miles, though no warning lights appeared as manual transmissions lack clutch monitoring systems.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The adaptive cruise control is the safety issue. It creates danger for both me and for others. Traveling at speeds approximately 65-70 mph the car suddenly brakes very hard. Causes me and my passengers to be jolted extremely hard. Its happened 3 times, I was fortunate enough to not have anybody traveling behind me. If a car was to be traveling behind me at a safe distance the sudden braking would cause them to rear end me. I can only imagine how horrible the injuries could be. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by dealership. I have an appt. scheduled March 4.2025 at the local Honda dealership. There was no warning lamps that came on. There was no messages also no symptoms prior to these incident.happens for unknown reason. This issue has occurred on 3 separate occasions. The most recent one was on Feb.17, 2025.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Hello. My 2024 civic sport had an automatic brake system that failed to operate correctly. As a result of being blinded by the sun that brake system could have potentially prevented the accident in question. Instead, the system did not deploy and the car ended up totaled with both air bags deployed after just a 20 mph fender bender. If the intended systems worked as they were designed, the accident wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
