FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The vehicle will randomly say these warnings: Brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Brake hold system problem. Apply brake when stopped. See your dealer. Anti-lock brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Vehicle stability system assist problem. Reduced traction and handling. See your dealer. Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. I have shut the vehicle down and checked the VSA with no leaks and full fluid in reservoir. I checked the harness and the wires are great. I checked the the brake unit to make sure they were not loose. I also checked the parking button and observed it to be clean from debris. This is happening to multiple people with the new Honda Civics and has now became a safety as it will make the vehicle brake slower and not be available for forward collision. Is anyone else dealing with this and what was the fix. Thanks.

STEERING
The vehicles electrical power steering , gearbox worm wheel and improperly set work gear spring caused a car accident where me and my daughter where thankfully only left with bruises and a concussion. Shortly after my accident a recall was sent out for the steering wheel upon further inspection it was determined the cause of the accident where it was replaced and I had to cover damages done to the car out of pocket. Dealership did not disclose any malfunctions.

STEERING
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My steering rack is damaged and needs replacement (confirmed by Honda Dealership). This causes the steering wheel to get stuck into place (mainly left side). To dislodge it you need to jerk it to the other side which causes the vehicle to become unstable. I first noticed this problem on March 20, 2025. I ignored it at first, but the problem got worse with time until last week my steering wheel locked into place and sent me into the left lane. Luckily there were no cars on the road, as this would have caused a major accident. This issue is life threatening to both myself and other drivers on the road. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, attached scan below. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, by Honda Dealership Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, no warnings, the problem just began. This problem was documented in NHTSA campaign #23V704000.

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING
I took my vehicle to the dealer after receiving the first recall notice. They inspected it and informed me that my car was not part of the recall, so they returned it to me. However, I continued to receive recall letters and communications from attorneys regarding the issue. According to the dealer, my car was in good condition. Despite this, I recently noticed unusual movement in the steering wheel, which ultimately caused me to crash into a concrete pole.

STEERING
There are 2 recalls on this car. A gearbox and power steering rack, the dealer has not replaced either one of them. They greased the power steering rack, and that's it. When steering to the right or left, there's a very large grinding sound and they are stating that it did not come from a power steering rack, faulty, they didn't even check the power steering rack or the gearbox, all they did was grease the power steering rack. I want this remedied, my daughter drives this car and there's something going on with the power steering rack, and it is starting to affect other issues in the car, tie rods, bearings etc and that's not fair. The manufacturer should be replacing these items. Steering components are a huge safety issue in this car and the manufacturer at the dealership will not replace these items.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am not sure if you would consider this as safety issue but with the amount of drivers using phones while driving I see it as a major safety issue. When asking the vehicle to read a text message aloud via CarPlay it starts off extremely loud for half a second then goes so quiet it cannot be heard making it useless. Obviously it would be advise for the driver to not pick up their phone while driving to check the text message but that is not reality these days. This has been a problem since the day I bought the car and was told by the dealer they couldn’t do anything to fix it until Honda did a software update. Three years later and still nothing. It seems there are tons of drivers who have reported the same issues but still no fix 3 years later. It’s a major safety issue in my opinion for both the drivers of 2022 civics and innocent drivers who probably have gotten hit or could get hit from a distracted driver because they are picking up their phone and taking their eyes off the road to read a text because the read out loud function doesn’t work. I ask the dealer every time I take the car in if there has been a fix yet and the answer is always no. Thanks for taking this into consideration! Honda has known of this potential safety issues for three years and has done nothing to fix it.

POWER TRAIN
Clutch failed at 45000 miles due to early wear. Clutch failed on interstate and resulted in full power loss of vehicle requiring a tow. Honda had previously identified a manufacturing defect with the friction plate as noted in SB-22017 issued in Sept 2022 covering MY 2020 and 2021 vehicles. My vehicle was built in late 2021 and was equipped with the same part as identited as failing in SB-22017. Per Honda dealer, repair of my vehicle is not currently covered by SB and therefore all costs are responsibility of owner. As the SB was issued months after my vehicle and transmission were built, the failed part is likely in MY 2022 vehicles as well.

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPT 2024 THROUGH CARVANA RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS STICKY SO I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN JAN 2025 AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG W/ MY STEERING THAT IT WOULD KIND OF STICK WHEN TURNING HE SAID IT WAS A RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE SO THEY 'FIXED' IT AND AFTER I PICKED IT UP IT WAS STILL DOING IT, WELL NOW I BRING IT BACK AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, ON A 2022 HONDA CIVIC SPORT, ARE YOU SERIOUS? AND THAT IT WILL COST $3700.00. SO THE DEALERSHIP DID CONFIRM I NEED A NEW STEERING RACK, THE STEERING ALWAYS STUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT I DIDNT NOTICE IT WHEN I FIRST DROVE IT BECAUSE IT STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP LIKE THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MILES ITS OK THEN IT STARTS STICKING. I HAD JUST READ ON A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM THAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY FILED A COMPLAINT W/NHTSA AND YOU GUYS WERE DOING AN INVESTIGATION SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL

STEERING, WHEELS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Found out the my car has a recall last december 2024. I drove to my dealership and told them about it. they said they dont have available parts for the recall in my car and the service advisor I talked to was told me that they have the parts for the recall but they prioritize the newer car so that they can sell it. then I called the manufacturer and let them know what the dealership was told me. 2 days later the manufacturer called me and said that they contacted my dealership and letting me know that they were be able to fix my car about the safety recall. but after I drove my car to my dealership and got it fixed and its all good as they said, but when I drove my car nothing change and its gets more difficult to control the steering wheel until now. most drivers thinks I'm drunk and keep their distance away from my car. then I brought my car back to the dealership and told them about it and they said they already done the repaired and got it fix but the repaired seems unsuccessful.

STEERING
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was pulling to the left or the right independently. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); however, the recall repair failed to prevent the failure. Shortly after the recall repair was completed, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer however, the vehicle could not be repaired under the recall again, because the recall repair was a one-time free repair. The vehicle was taken to several local dealers to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the EPS steering rack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Upon attempting to use my air conditioner for the 1st time this year I found that it would only blow out hot air. Contacted the dealer who said they would charge me $160 to look at it. I ended up contacting another car repair shop who took it in and did a full check and found that the compressor had no damage but was leaking freon that they had to add because my car had NONE. The car is only 2 years old. Upon further research I found that several hundred thousand 10th gen Hondas were given extended warranties to 100,000 miles because of the same exact issue. I called the dealer back about this and they said that my car is 11th gen so not part of this extended warranty. It appears obvious to me that this problem continues with this new 11th gen. People should be warned. This is a huge expense and it's simply unacceptable for a 2 year old car.
