WOKE UP AT 4:30 AM ON THIS DAY JULY 18,2019 SAW THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE (IT STARTED UNDER THE HOOD). IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY
Electrical system, Structure, Jul 18, 2019
CAR TRUNK OPENS WHILE DRIVING (MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES TO DATE); WINDOWS DESCEND WHILE LOCKING CAR FROM OUTSIDE; GAS CAP COVER UNLATCHES WHILE LOCKING CAR. CAR DOORS HAVE ALSO UNLOCKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND THIEVES RANSACKED CAR ON 2 OCCASIONS. I RAISED ISSUES TO DEALER (WHO SAID THEY WERE IMPOSSIBLE) AND WROTE MANUFACTURER APRIL 22; HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. RUST ON TIRE RIMS. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN RECURRING SINCE FIVE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR TO THE PRESENT DAY.

I DO OIL CHANGE BY MYSELF. HERE I AM REPORTING FUEL DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL ISSUE ON MY CAR. THE SECOND LAST TIME OF MY CAR'S OIL CHANGE WAS ON MARCH 16 2019. I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL STRICTLY TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AS WELL AS THE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT. I ADDED 3.7 QT OF NEW MOTOR OIL (MOBIL 1 ADVANCED FUEL ECONOMY FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20), WHICH IS THE VOLUME SPECIFIED ON THE MANUAL BOOK. LAST WEEKEND ON JULY 7 2019 I DID OIL CHANGE AGAIN, STILL FOLLOWING THE MANUAL BOOK STRICTLY. WHAT MADE ME CONCERNED WAS THAT THE VOLUME OF THAT USED MOTOR OIL WAS CLEARLY GREATER THAN WHAT I ADDED ON MARCH 16. THE MOTOR OIL I PURCHASED CAME WITH SEALED BOTTLES, EACH CONTAINING 1 QT VOLUME. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE USED OIL FULFILLED 4 BOTTLES, WHICH WAS 10% MORE THAN WHAT I ADDED 3 MONTHS BEFORE. THIS WAS THE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WENT INTO THE MOTOR OIL, WHICH I BELIEVED WAS GASOLINE, BECAUSE THE USED OIL HAD A GASOLINE SMELL. DURING THIS PERIOD, I ONLY CHOSE TOP TIER GASOLINE BRANDS AND ADDED REGULAR #87 WHICH WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA, THEREFORE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE I ADDED WAS NO PROBLEM; I DIDN'T SEE LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT, BRAKE FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID DURING THIS TIME.

I BROUGHT MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN FEB/2019. MY AC HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR UNTIL IT GOT REALLY HOT WHERE I LIVE THIS MONTH. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS DAMAGED BECAUSE ROCKS FROM THE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN HITTING AGAINST IT. I EXPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THE AC WAS WORKING FROM THE BEGINNING AND THAT THE CAR IS SO LOW TO THE GROUND THAT IT IS TO EXPECTED FOR ROCKS TO HIT UNDER THE CAR. THEY THEN TELL ME THAT IT WILL COST 1200 FOR ME TO GET IT FIXED. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND FAST BECAUSE IT IS VERY HOT.

HONDA CIVIC 2017 MODEL USES NEW COMPRESSOR TO GO WITH NEW REFRIGERANT AND SEEMS TO STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY REASON. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE DONE TO THE CAR TO STOP THE COMPRESSOR FROM WORKING, USUAL MAINTENANCE IS KEPT UP WITH THE CAR. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPRESSOR FOR NO REASON.

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AT 2 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, BUT AS I AM AT 41,000 MILES, IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I NOTICED IT WHEN DRIVING ON SATURDAY, 6/29/19 THAT THE A/C WAS NO LONGER BLOWING COLD AIR; THIS WAS ON A DAY WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 99 IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THE THERE ARE BAD SEALS ON THE COMPRESSOR. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $2,100 TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR AND ADD FREON TO IT. I HAVE SEEN MANY HONDA OWNERS (2016-2017) COMPLAIN OF THIS ISSUE AND AM WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO FORCE HONDA TO PAY FOR THESE BAD COMPRESSORS?
Structure, Jun 29, 2019
THERE IS A ROTTEN SMELL IN THE REAR TRUNK EVERY TIME WHEN/AFTER IT RAINS. FROM MY OBSERVATIONS, THE ODOR IS COMING FROM THE SPARE TIRE WELL, NOT THE TRUNK LINER. THE ODOR CAN BE REMOVED BY SPRAYING ODOR REMOVER AND HAVE IT VENTILATED. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME WHEN IT RAINS, THIS ODOR COMES BACK AGAIN. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS REPEATED ISSUE INDICATES WATER CLOGGED SOMEWHERE BENEATH THE SPARE TIME WELL.

PURCHASED 2017 HONDA CIVIC NEW FROM DEALERSHIP WITH STANDARD NEW CAR WARRANTY. AT 41,000 MILES AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. BROUGH VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NEW COMPRESSOR WAS NEEDED AND REPAIR WOULD COST $986 + TAX. BOUGHT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY. SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MAKE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING INTERNET FOR INFORMATION I CAME TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS TRUE AND WONDERED HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WERE FACED WITH THE SAME TYPE REPAIR COSTING OVER $1,000? FILING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT WORD GETS OUT AND SOMEONE CAN FINALLY HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING A PRODUCT WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE COMPONENT

WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 50 WHEN IT'S OVER 80 DEGREES. THE STEERING ACTS UP! WHEN TRY TO ADJUST A LITTLE BIT IT RESIST AND THEN LET'S GO SLIGHTLY. IT MAKES YOU OVER STEER A BIT. IT'S NOT A COMFORTING THING WHEN IT KEEPS DOING THAT! I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE IS SUPPOSED TO GET A RECALL FOR STEERING ASSIST. THE MAGNET HAS COME LOOSE AND OUT OF PLACE AND CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN! PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM!

NUMEROUS NHTSA REPORTS HAVE BEEN TO WASTE AS NOTHING IS DONE. THIS 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK CONTINUES TO HAVE ELECTRICAL GLITCHES SINCE BOUGHT NEW IN DEC. 2017. NO PROBLEM (S) FOUND. NO CODES. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. ETC. ETC. HONDA REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE & SERVICING HONDA DEALERS DO NOT WANT THIS PIECE OF CRAP HONDA IN THEIR SHOPS. HONDA CLAIMS THEY HAVE LEGAL RIGHT TO CANCEL ALL NEW VEHICLE WARRANTIES ON THIS VEHICLE & OWNER CANNOT DO ANYTHING LEGALLY ABOUT THIS. NO US FEDERAL AGENCY HAS ANY CONTROL WHAT HONDA DOES IN THE US. HONDA HAS BECOME ARROGANT & ABUSIVE TOWARDS HONDA CUSTOMERS & DOES NOT CARE.

10TH GENERATION 2017 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN: FIRST REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALER IN MAY 2018, THE TRUNK MYSTERIOUSLY OPENS WITHOUT ANY OWNER INTERACTION. HAVE GONE INSIDE OUR HOME ONLY TO COME OUT IN THE MORNING TO FIND THE TRUNK OPEN. JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST WEEK OF MARCH 2019, THE HONDA DEALER HAD THE CAR AGAIN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN ON SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 2019, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNDER-REPORTED PROBLEM AS SOME OWNERS MAY THINK THEY ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED THE REMOTE KEY FOB. THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN UP IN THE HONDA CIVIC OWNERS FORUM ON CIVICX.COM.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 27, 2019
WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE ENTERING A TUNNEL WITH NO CARS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF IT, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM(PART OF HONDA SENSING SUITE OF SAFETY FEATURES) ACTIVATED AND SIGNIFICANTLY BRAKED THE CAR, NEARLY TO A STOP, WITH CARS AT HIGHWAY SPEED BEHIND ME. THERE WERE PAVEMENT MARKINGS THAT APPEARED TO BE GROUND OFF AS A RESULT OF RECENT CONSTRUCTION THAT PERHAPS THE CAR'S SENSING SYSTEM MISTOOK FOR AN OBJECT THAT IT THOUGHT IT COULD HIT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE CAR'S PATH. NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS OPERATED ODDLY, BUT IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT HAS MISTOOK SHADOWS AND SUN GLARE AS BEING OBJECTS AND WARNED ME TO BRAKE (ALBEIT MOMENTARILY) BUT THE CAR DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY BRAKING IN THOSE SITUATIONS.
Air bags, Mar 22, 2019
PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BY DESIGN WHEN SOMEONE WHO DOES MEET WEIGHT CRITERIA IS SEATED. THIS IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC 5-DOOR PURCHASED NEW IN DEC. 2016 & HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE PURCHASE. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALERS THE SENSOR IS DESIGNED TO DEACTIVATE PASSENGER AIR BAG IF WEIGHT THRESHOLD NOT MET. MY WIFE IS 5 FT. 5 IN. & APPROX. 125 POUNDS, & WHENEVER SHE IS SEATED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS OFF. PER HONDA & HONDA SERVICING DEALER THE 4 WAYS TO DEAL WITH THIS ARE : 1. MOVE FRONT SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK ( NO AIR BAG FUNCTION ). 2. HAVE HER SIT IN BACK SEAT. 3. NOT HAVE HER IN CAR AT ALL. 4. GET ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAS FUNCTIONING PASSENGER AIR BAG. THESE ARE OFFICIAL REPAIR SOLUTIONS PER HONDA TECH SUPPORT & HONDA SERVICING DEALER.

I BOUGHT MY 2017 CIVIC BRAND NEW IN MAY 2017. EVER SINCE I HAD THIS CAR THE ELECTRONICS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. VOLUME DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE DIGITAL RADIO. I'LL HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO USE THE VOLUME. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES MY CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF WHILE IN PARK. I HAD TO SIT OVER 5 MINUTES IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OFF WITH PUSHING THE START BUTTON OVER AND OVER. THE RADIO GOES STATICKY EVERY TIME I USE THE DEFROST BUTTON. FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR NOW MAKES A BEEPING NOISE HERE AND THERE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE DASH/RADIO. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN DRIVE OR PARK. EVERY TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO HONDA THEY COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING SINCE THE CODES DIDN'T PULL UP WHEN THEY PLUGGED THEIR COMPUTER INTO MY CAR. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE NOISES THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING (BEEPING). SO YES I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND IN 2 MONTHS I WILL HAVE OWNED MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS.
