THE DRIVERS SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT CAUSES PAIN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO FIND A POSITION THAT IS NOT AGONIZING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT LENGTH OF TIME I HAVE SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN THAT INTERFERES WITH MY ACTIVITY. *JS
Service brakes, Nov 16, 2015
I HAVE HAD MANY AUTOMOBILES OVER MY ALMOST 60 YEARS OF DRIVING. I DO NOT REMEMBER HAVING BRAKES REPLACED AT LESS THEN 35,000 MILES OF USE, & HAVE GONE AS MUCH AS 60,000 BEFORE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. MY CURRENT HONDA CIVIC 2010 NOW NEEDS BRAKES AT 16, 000 MILES SOMETHING IS RADICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR AS MANUFACTURED TO MAKE THIS EARLY REPLACEMENT NECESSARY.
Other or unspecified, Nov 5, 2015
DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T STAY UP. THE SEAM IS SPLIT AND THE VISOR JUST HANGS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. MOVING OR STATIONARY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT WON'T STAY UP IN EITHER SITUATION. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT UP WHILE I DRIVE.
Visibility/wiper, Nov 5, 2015
THERE IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS FOR THIS MODEL OF HONDA CIVIC. THE VISOR FALLS APART IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. EITHER THE VISOR IS DOWN BLOCKING SIGHT OF THE ROAD, OR IF YOU HAVE IT RIGGED TO STAY UP THEN YOU HESITATE TO PULL THE VISOR DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT TO STAY UP AGAIN SO YOU END UP DRIVING WITH SUN IN YOUR EYES. EACH TIME I GET A REPLACEMENT IT COSTS ME ABOUT $80 OR SO, SO I AVOID THAT TOO. HONDA, PLEASE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!!!! PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES TODAY. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM, I LOVE MY CAR.

REPLACED FRONT CONTROL ARM IN MAY 2012 AT COST OF $1000 AT DEALERSHIP. WENT BACK FOR NEW TIRES IN AUGUST 2015 ( APPROX. 15 K MILES DRIVEN IN BETWEEN) AND THEY TELL ME ITS BROKEN AGAIN
Visibility/wiper, Oct 23, 2015
THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE LOCK POSITION. IT WILL FALL DOWN AT ANY MOMENT AND NOT FULLY LOCK INTO UP POSITION. THIS WAS ADDRESSED WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE CALLED BACK TWICE AND WAS TOLD HIS REP HAS NOT GOT BACK TO HIM AND I NEED TO WAIT. TIRED OF WAITING BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE VISOR CAN SUDDENLY FALL DOWN IN THE STRAIGHT DOWN POSITION AND BLOCK VIEW. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAY I WILL NEED TO WAIT 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR SOMEONE TO GET BACK WITH ME. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, JUST LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AND THEY HAVE A PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO FIX IT. BASED ON MY FACTUAL PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SO FAR.
Visibility/wiper, Oct 21, 2015
SUNVISOR ON DRIVER SIDE IS COMING APART AT THE SEAM AND WILL NOT STAY COMPLETELY IN THE UP POSITION (AGAINST THE ROOF LINER). I HAVE NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED THIS YET AND DREAD IT AS THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I ONLY RECENTLY SURPASSED 36000 MILES, BUT HAVE HAD THE CAR NEARLY 5 YEARS. I HATE HAVING TO PAY A DEALER TO FIX PIDDLY LITTLE THINGS LIKE THIS AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THIS KIND OF ISSUE ON A HONDA. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, AS I HAD JUST GOTTEN IN THE CAR TO GO HOME FROM WORK. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT WAS DURING THIS PAST SUMMER, I WOULD GUESS MID TO LATE AUGUST, WHEN IT WAS VERY HOT IN NORTH ALABAMA. THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN TODAY, IN MID-OCTOBER.

VEHICLE SUN VISORS FAIL AND HANG DOWN BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW. IT CAN HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY AND CAN ONLY BE CLEARED BY QUICKLY MOVING VISOR TO SIDE OR HOLDING UP. BOTH ACTIONS EFFECT THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE AUTOMOBILE.
Other or unspecified, Oct 11, 2015
DRIVERS SIDE VISOR MECHANISM TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE HAS FAILED. THE VISOR CANNOT BE SET IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION WHICH IMPAIRS VISION. THIS HAPPENS IN STATIONARY AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

WHEN I START THE CAR IT RUMBLES AND THE RPMS REV UP. I KNOW IT IS THE WIRES THAT GO FROM THE IGNITION COILS TO THE ENGINE THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS BUT.. YOU CANT BUY THAT PART AT AN AUTO PART STORE BC THE WIRE HARNESS IS NOT PATENTED.. TO GO TO HONDA ITS $793. SINCE IVE ONLY HAD THE CAR I HAVE ONLY PUT 50K MLES ON IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT IM HAVING THIS MAJOR OF AN ISSUE THIS SOON.

THE MOTOR MOUNT ON MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE HONDA FORUMS REVEALED MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SOME OF WHOM HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR MOTOR MOUNT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE A KNOWN WEAKNESS IN THE DESIGN WHICH HONDA IS NOT ADDRESSING FOR OWNERS.

I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CANNOT USE THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR FEAR THAT I CAN'T GET IT TO STAY UP.

I AM A FIRST TIME BUYER SO I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT BUYING A CAR . I RECENTLY BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS FLASHING NON STOP, CALL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MEANS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS . ALSO, IT SHOWS THAT ALL SIDE AIRBAGS ARE OFF . THEREFORE , I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS REQUIRED TO SHOW ME THE CAR FAX OF THE CAR SO I AM NOT SURE IF THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR SALVAGE . I CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY CAN CHECK THE AIR BAG FOR ME THEY STATED TO GO IN THE NEXT DAY, THEREFORE I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS WITHIN THAT SHORT OF TIME BEING . NOW , I AM WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY THEREFORE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN SEEK ANY HELP OR ADVICE UPON THIS ISSUE.

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT OR VEERING LEFT OR RIGHT THE REAR TIRES (MAINLY THE LEFT ONE) SCREECHES AND SOUNDS LIKE METAL IS GRINDING ON METAL. IT IS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE TIRE TO MIDDLE OF THE SUSPENSION. BUT WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OR STOPPING THERE IS NO NOISE.

BRAKES NEED TO CHANGED AROUND 10 K MILES EACH TIME. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE ON THE BRAKES AND COULDN'T TELL ME WHY I NEED TOO CHANGE IT SO OFTEN. PER OTHER CIVIC USERS, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT MADE THE BRAKE WEAR SO QUICKLY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE BRAKES SO WEAR QUICKLY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALL.

Service brakes, May 14, 2015
THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED IN THE FRONT AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE CAR NOW HAS 65,000. A DAY AFTER THE BREAKS WERE CHANGED, AT A DEALERSHIP, THEY BEGAN TO SQUEAL VERY LOAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK 4 TIMES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NOISE. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY SANDED THE BREAKS LIGHTLY AND PUT STOP SQUEAK ON. NOT MORE THAN A FEW DAYS AFTER EACH INCIDENT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE BREAKS TEND TO MAKE THIS EAR SPLITTING SOUND ON DECLINE AND AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. HOT OR COLD DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME WHEN BREAKING. THE CAR IS USED 50%/50% FOR CITY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. 40% OF WHICH IS TRAFFIC. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM TO STOP. ALSO SUN VISOR NO LONGER WILL STAY UP. ANNOYING.
