Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Civic vehicles manufactured January 16, 2014, to November 6, 2014 and 2015 Fit vehicles manufactured March 12, 2014, to May 12, 2015. The software settings that control the transmission operation may result in damage to the transmission drive pulley shaft.
If the transmission drive pulley shaft is damaged, it may break, and the vehicle may lose acceleration or the front wheels may lock up while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the transmission, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 30, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are JU2 (Civic) and JU3(Fit).

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 0 MILES HONDA CIVIC 2015 ON MAY 2015 IVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY SUSPENSION MOTOR MOUNTING HAD BEEN REPLACES AS WELL AS AXELS... I'M CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY I'M SCARED OF AN ACCIDENT FOR A SUSPENSION PROBLEM SINCE ITS FRONT SUSPENSION... ON THE DEALER THEY ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID ON TELLING ME THE CAUSE OF THIS MATTER... I WOULD LIKE THIS SUSPENSION PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATE... THE TRANSMISSION IS ANOTHER PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME YOU ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DOENST GO FAST AND FEELS LIKE SLIPS ON KICKS OUT... I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT LIKE ALWAYS THEY SAID THEY DON'T FIND THE PROBLEM... THE WORST THAT THE DEALER ALWAYS REQUEST ME TO GO ON A DRIVE TEST WITH THE MECHANIC THAT'S NOT PART OF MY JOB THEY SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED WORKERS

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, THE STEERING HAS BEEN DRIVING ME CRAZY!! I CANNOT KEEP THIS VEHICLE STRAIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE ORIGINAL CHEAP TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES AND 3 ALIGNMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO FIX!!! NO MATTER WHAT I DO.... THE CAR SWERVES ALL OVER THE ROAD. ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. DEAR HONDA...U ARE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK WITH THIS 2015 HONDA CIVIC. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE INSTABILITY OF THIS CAR. IT'S SERIOUSLY MENTALLY​ AND PHYSICALLY TAXING TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FROM VEERING ALL OVER THE ROAD. I AM NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY THIS...IF I WAS DRIVING BEHIND MY CIVIC...I WOULD THINK THE DRIVER WAS DRUNK. ABSOLUTELY​ THE MOST UN PLANTED VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. I AM BEGGING YOU HONDA...PLEASE ADDRESS THE WANDERING STEERING IN MY 2015 CIVIC!!! IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!

RADIO AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM WILL FREEZE AND BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AFTER USING THE HANDS-FREE PHONE OPTION TO TERMINATE A CALL, OR ACCESS SIRI WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE SYSTEM WILL DISPLAY AN ACTIVE CALL, EVEN AFTER THE CALL HAS BEEN TERMINATED ON THE PHONE. ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE AUDIO INPUT THROUGH THE DASH INTERFACE OR STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS WILL NOT CHANGE THE SOURCE. ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THE SYSTEM TO ACCEPT INPUT FROM AN ATTACHED PHONE BY PLUGGING IN THROUGH THE USB PORT WILL NOT LOAD THE DEVICE. A DEVICE ATTACHED VIA USB HAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND WILL NOT RESET IF THE DEVICE IS UNPLUGGED. THIS WILL RESET ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING AFTER A FEW MINUTES. SO FAR, ONLY THE AUDIO INTERFACE IS AFFECTED.

ONGOING ISSUE. HEADREST ANGLE IS NONADJUSTABLE (ONLY HEIGHT IS) AND THUS ISN'T SAFE FOR EVERYONE. IT PUSHES THE HEAD DOWN AND COMPROMISES SPINAL ALIGNMENT. PEOPLE WITH THINNER TORSOS OR WHO SIT MORE UPRIGHT ARE AT THE MOST RISK. OPTIONS TO FIX THIS INVOLVE USING PADDING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT OR BENDING THE BARS IN THE HEADREST, BOTH OF WHICH WOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DAILY COMFORT, BUT COULD RESULT IN INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION WOULD BE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT FOR PROPER POSITIONING AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUCTIONS IN THE SAFETY SECTION OF THE CAR'S MANUAL.

MY MOTHER LEASES A HONDA CIVIC 2015 AND WAS PARKING THE CAR AT A SLOW SPEED , FOOT ON BREAK THE ENGINE SURGED AND THE CAR SPED FORWARD. THE CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR TO BACK IT UP --AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE (WITH MY FOOT COVERING THE BREAK) IT SURGED AGAIN AND THE CAR SPED BACKWARDS. I FILED A CASE WITH HONDA AMERICA 05128777 - THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS. I AM POSTING THIS BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY FRIGHTENING AND I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

TAKATA THIS MORNING WHEN I DID START THE CAR, THERE WAS A WARNING SIGN " CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM" AND THE STEERING WHEEL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I DID CALL THE DEALER AND LEFT THE CAR TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY 10 MONTHS AND MILLAGE AROUND 9000. DEALER TOLD ME SOME PART NEEDED TO REPLACE (HARNESS) AND WILL COST AROUND $450. IS THIS MANUFACTURED PROBLEM ? RECALL?
Air bags, Seat belts, Sep 5, 2016, crash
THE VEHICLE (V-2) WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AT THE 1-5 NB CYPRESS OFF RAMP IN REDDING CALIFORNIA IN EVENING PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (AT 1810). V-2 WAS STRUCK BY V-1, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED V-2 INTO V-3. BOTH V-1 AND V-2 WERE STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF COLLISION. V-1, A ISUZA TROOPER SUSTAINED MINOR FRONT END DAMAGE. V-2 RECEIVED MINOR FRONT END DAMAGE, AND MAJOR REAR END DAMAGE. V-3, A KIA SOUL RECEIVED MINOR REAR END DAMAGE. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE V-2 AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY OR THE SEAT-BELT RESTRAIN THE DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL RECEIVING A MAJOR BRAIN CONCUSSION AND BROKEN NOSE UPON BEING PUSHED BY V-1 INTO V-3. SEVERAL ON THE SCENE QUESTIONED THE LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR THE SEAT-BELT NOT PROVIDING THE RESTRAINT NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE INJURY. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS A FAILURE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS NECESSARY TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. REPORTING PARTY IS THE FATHER OF THE DRIVER OF V-2, A TEEN DRIVER.

MY DAUGHTER (17 YEARS OLD) WAS DRIVING AT 35 MILES IN LEONA VALLEY CA ON LAST FRIDAY 2015 HER HONDA CIVIC (7,000 MILES ON ODOMETER). HER CAR LOW-PRESSURE AIR LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN CAR STARTED TO SWERVE VIOLENTLY LEFT TO RIGHT. WITHIN FEW MINUTES THE CAR BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING (ACCORDING TO HER, IT FELT SHE WAS PUSHING ON AIR WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE PADDLE) AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CAR ENDED UP ON ITS SIDE AND CAUGHT FIRE. IT STARTED A BRUSH FIRE (25 ACRES) HERE IN CA. WHEN MY DAUGHTER AND HER TWO FRIENDS TRIED TO GET OUT THE DOOR, THE OTHER DOOR WON'T OPEN. THEY HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE SUN ROOF. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND WHY DID THE CAR'S BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIND OUT WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ORDER TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF ROOT CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT?

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WE USUALLY DO NOT DRIVE IT MUCH SINCE IT IS FOR MY WIFE WHO TAKES THE BUS TO WORK. ONR DAY WR GOT A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. SO I CHECKED TIRED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THEM. THE WARNING WE WERE RECEIVING ACCORDING TO HONDA IS TPMS. AND IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO ALOT OF THERE CARS. FIESTA AND FOREMOST THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. BECAUSE WHEN THE REAL DAY COMES WHEN I DO NEED AIR I WILL NEVER KNOW. IT IS ALSO SAD THAT HONDA WAD AWARE OF THIS AND NEGLECTED TO MENTION IT TO US. THE OTHER THIN IS MY OLD CAR HAD FOR 15 PLUS YE AS DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THESE HIGH TECH GADGETS,AND THESE NEW ONES I KEEP READING HAVE THIS ISSUE OR THAT. I'M STARTING TO BECOME EXTREMELY WORRY AND WONDER IF IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM CALLING THEM TODAY TO SET AN APPOINTMENT TO GT IT FIX

THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON EVERY SO OFTEN FOR NO REASON. I BOUGHT A TIRE PRESSURE CHECKER AND WHEN IT TURNED ON I CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES PER THE PSI RECOMMENDATION ON THE DOOR PANEL STICKER AND THEY WERE IN THAT RANGE. IT SEEMS TO ME THE SYSTEM IS FAULTY. IT COULD BE A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIE ROD HAD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I REPORTED DURING THE LAST OIL CHANGE THAT THE CAR WAS STALLING SPECIFICALLY WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 10 MPH & 30 MPH. THE CAR STALLS, AND HAS EVEN COMPLETELY STOPPED FOR A FULL 60 SECONDS WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE LANES IN TRAFFIC EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETED DEPRESSED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE TECH SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE ECON BUTTON AND THE ENGINE TRYING TO CONSERVE ENERGY. I WAS TOLD TO NOT USE THE ECON BUTTON (ALTHOUGH THIS IS SUPPOSE TO SAVE ME MONEY ON GAS AND FUEL EFFICIENCY AND PART OF THE ALLURE OF THE VEHICLE.) DESPITE THAT I HAVE HAD THE ECON BUTTON OFF AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AND NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. AGAIN THIS IS USUALLY BETWEEN 10 MPG TO 30 MPH. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR PART OF THE PISTOL PIN SNAP RING PROBLEM OR EVEN POSSIBLY A FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. MY HUSBAND HAS THE SAME TYPE AND YEAR VEHICLE AND HIS DOES NOT BEHAVE THE SAME WAY. HIS ACCELERATION APPEARS TO BE FINE AND DOES NOT STALL AS MINE DOES. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE HAS COME ON TWICE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE WAS 8-15-15 DURING A 4 HOUR ROAD TRIP WHICH OCCURRED AFTER WE ARRIVED. THE 2ND TIME WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER I RETURNED HOME FROM MY LAST OIL CHANGE IN 4-2016. THIS IS THE (3RD) REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. PROBLEM (1) WAS THE STAINED HEADLINER (6/2015)WHICH WAS REPLACED AND HAS NOT HAD ANY FURTHER ISSUES (2) WAS THE CENTER CONSOLE PIN COMING LOOSE AND POPPING UP (4-2016) WHICH HAS CURRENTLY REMAINED INTACT AND NOW THE ACCELERATION IS GETTING WORSE. (CONTINUOUSLY).

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS TO SEND A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM THEIR COMPANY TO INSPECT THE FAILURE BUT THE CONTACT RECEIVED NO FOLLOW UP AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900. UPDATED 05/04/16*LJ *TR

I FIRST PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CIVIC AND STARTED HEARING THIS "GRINDING/CREAKY" WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON MY BRAKES, COMING FROM MY REAR. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM ABLE TO USE MY BRAKES AS I WANTED, BUT WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO PUT IN GEAR OR JUST PUSHED DOWN A LITTLE TOO HARD, I WOULD HEAR THIS NOISE. ALSO I NOTICED, WHENEVER I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS (TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE THIS OUT), I WOULD HEAR THIS "THUMPING" NOISE. IF I DO NOT HAVE GAS IN MY CAR, I DO NOT HEAR THE NOISE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THESE WERE NOT NORMAL NOISES, THEY TRIED TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR, IF KEPT MY CAR THE LAST TIME FOR 5 DAYS BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE SOUND TO REALLY GO AWAY. I EVEN TIRED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT, BUT I WAS TOLD, "TO TAKE MY CAR BACK WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM BECAUSE ITS CLEAR THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT THEIR TECHS NAME ON IT". I WAS SHOCKED. I WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY EVEN CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA TECHNICIANS WHO WERE OF NO HELP. I WAS FED UP AND FELT UNSAFE IN MY CAR, SINCE I WAS BEING TOLD THESE WERE NOT "NORMAL" NOISES, I ASKED TO TRADE IN MY CAR (SAME EXACT YEAR/MODEL). DESPITE TEST DRIVING THE SECOND CAR (ON AN EMPTY GAS TANK), I DIDN'T HEAR ANY NOISES INITIALLY. BUT NOW ITS BEEN A FEW DAYS AND I HEAR THE EXACT SAME NOISES IN THIS CAR, AS I DID THE FIRST ONE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I JUST WANT A CAR THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE NOISES. I JUST TRADED IN MY CAR TO RECEIVE THIS ONE I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING ON 2/5/16. I HAVE YET TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW OF THESE NOISES ON THE 2ND CAR, BECAUSE I FEAR BEING JERKED AROUND AGAIN. I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE AND RECEIVED A CASE MANAGER NAMED ROBIN WHO HAS YET TO GET BACK TO ME AND NEVER RETURNS PHONE CALLS. I AM DESPERATE TO FIND OUT THESE NOISES.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON 01/27/2016 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE RIGHT TURN ON AN INTERSECTION WITH THE RIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT ON. SUDDENLY IT ACCELERATED AT ABOUT 60MILES AND HOUR. ALL MY EFFORT TO STOP IT BY APPLYING THE BREAKS FAILED TEMPORARILY. THE ODOMETER READING ON THE CAR IS ABOUT 13,400 MILES. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AND NOT TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL HONDA CORPORATION TELLS ME WHAT TO DO. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED OR DRIVEN OVER THE PAST 22 YEARS.
