HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN LARGELY INDIFFERENT TOWARDS THESE ISSUES, CITING "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" EVEN "SOFTWARE ISSUES".
Electrical system, Service brakes, Apr 11, 2018
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FAILURE AND MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRIC GLITCHES. AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED IN PARK. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT ELECTRIC GLITCHES. FIRST LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY 2017 CIVIC TURN SIGNAL WAS STUCK ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. SECOND 1 MONTH AFTER DASH SCREEN WOULD NOT LOAD. IT WAS "BUFFERING / THINKING" TOOK IT TO AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE BUT FIXED WITH A HARD RESET AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND CHECKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND IT WAS CURRENT. THIRD PROBLEM A 2 WEEKS LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND GOT BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE PARKING BRAKES LOCKED UP. TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE HOLD AND PARKING BRAKE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE BUT WOULDN'T. HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A SECOND HARD RESET. I QUESTION IF MY CIVIC WAS PART OF THE 2016 / PARTIAL 2017 RECALL FOR ELECTRIC GLITCH THAT INCLUDED THE PARKING BRAKE ISSUE.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 6, 2018
I HAVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO. I STARTED SEEING LOTS OF INFORMATION ON THE CIVIC FORUM ABOUT OIL DILUTION SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MY ENGINE OIL ANALYZED. THE REPORT CAME BACK SAYING THAT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN MY OIL WAS GREATER THAN 5% WHICH WAS DEEMED CRITICAL . THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT (THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING THERE ALL DAY), I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND AND NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ROOFTOP. I STOPPED RIGHT AWAY, GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE A BIG HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL. THE GLASS FELL ON THE ON THE INSIDE ROOF SLIDER (WHICH LUCKILY WAS CLOSED). THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL WAS INTACT AND NOT DAMAGED FROM THE PRIOR DRIVE. IT JUST DISINTEGRATED ON ITS OWN AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND CLEARLY NOT THE RESULT OF A ROAD HAZARD/IMPACT AS HONDA/DEALERSHIP ASSERTED (EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THIS HAPPENED).
Structure, Service brakes, Mar 23, 2018, crash
THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK, UNOCCUPIED. VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY DESPITE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK POSITION AND STRUCK A GARAGE DOOR. OWNER STATES HE CONFIRMED VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN HE CAME TO THE VEHICLE IN ITS FINAL RESTING POSITION. FOR ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS OCCURANCE, A BRAKE ERROR MESSAGE HAD COME ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A WEEKEND, SO THE OWNER DID NOT NOTIFY A SERVICE PROVIDER BUT WAS INTENDING TO SCHEDULE SERVICE ON THE MONDAY FOLLOWING. A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED WITH HIS AUTO INSURANCE PROVIDER, ERIE INSURANCE, TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE. UNDERLYING ISSUE NEEDS INVESTIGATION AS THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VIN, BUT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER MAKES/MODELS.

SOY BASED WIRING ATTRACTING RODENTS TO CHEW MY WIRING OF VEHICLE. HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I FOUND.
Structure, Visibility/wiper, Mar 1, 2018
I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T AND MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS USED FOR THE WINDSHIELD. CURRENTLY, I HAVE SEVERAL CHIPS AND GASHES IN IT. THIS IS JUST CITY DRIVING AS WELL. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER POSTS ONLINE OF OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS THE WINDSHIELD EASILY CRACKING. HECK, I WAS READING A REVIEW ON THE CAR FROM A VERY PROMINENT COMPANY AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED DURING THE REVIEW. ANYWAYS, IT SEEMS LIKE THE QUALITY OR MAYBE THE DESIGN IS VERY MUCH AN ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED AN AUTOMOBILE WHOSE GLASS WAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Feb 26, 2018, crash
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A CURB, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED: P180531234. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000.

THE CAPLESS FUEL DESIGN FREEZES SHUT PREVENTING REFUELING UNTIL ICE DAM IS DEFROSTED. THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAVE SOMEONE STRANDED AS I AM.
Service brakes, Jan 29, 2018
I WAS LEFT STRANDED THREE TIMES TODAY IN MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T DUE TO THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND I COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I WASN'T CLOSE TO HOME. I WAS IN ANOTHER STATE.

I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CIVIC 5/16. IT NEEDED A TIRE REPLACEMENT 2 WEEKS LATER. A REPLACEMENT TIRE WAS PUT ON BY A TIRE SHOP. THEY REPLACED A CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT WITH A CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT OF THE SAME SIZE. SINCE THEN THE TPMS ERROR MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE RESET. AFTER 7 MONTHS I WAS FINALLY TOLD THE "NEWLY" DESIGNED 2017 TPMS REQUIRED ALL 4 TIRES TO BE OF THE EXACT TIRE MODEL AND TREAD WEAR FOR IT TO BE RESET. MEANING WE HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES NOW WITH ONLY 12,000 ON THEM. OR DRIVE WITH A THE TPMS WARNING ON UNTIL THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR ISSUE, AND I SHOULD HAVE READ THE MANUAL VERY CLOSELY TO SEE ONE CANNOT JUST REPLACE 1 TIRE.......THE HONDA SERVICE SHOP DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS NEW ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT EITHER AS THEY HAVEN'T HAD TO REPLACE 2017 TIRES YET. I FEEL THIS IS A UNFAIR AND UNSAFE ISSUE. THE ORIGINAL TIRE SHOP WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS "HONDA" ISSUE WHEN THEY REPLACED THE TIRE 7 MONTHS AGO. THE TIRES "LOOK" EXACTLY THE SAME. DRIVING WITH THE CAR AS IT IS NOW, WITH THE TPMS ALWAYS ON DESPITE ADEQUATE TIRE PRESSURE, DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A "SAFE" OPTION EITHER. IF ONE OF THE OTHER 3 TIRES HAS A FAILURE, WITH THE TPMS ALREADY ACTIVATED, HOW WILL WE BE WARNED.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS BURNED ON MY LEFT ARM AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AFTER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROPRIATELY 10-15 MPH WHILE TURING LEFT ONTO A HWY WHEN IT WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE (IN NOVEMBER, IT WAS A DECENT DAY AND BEFORE THE COLD WEATHER HIT), NO TRAFFIC AROUND HIM AND HE WAS NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS, WHEN HIS SUNROOF EXPLODED. HE SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. HIS EARS WERE RINGING FOR DAYS. HE TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA THAT VERY DAY AND THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS A ROCK AND HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOT AND INSISTED THAT THEY REPAIR IT. THEY DID NOT ARGUE AND WERE VERY GOOD TO US AND REPAIRED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND IS REALLY AFRAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 7, 2018
MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED! THE SKY WAS MOSTLY BLUE, THE SUN WAS SHINING, AND THE WEATHER FELT IN THE HIGH 60S FAHRENHEIT. I HAD DEPARTED MY HOME IN RIVERSIDE, CA AROUND 9AM TODAY (SUNDAY, JANUARY 7TH) AND DECIDED TO OPEN THE SUNROOF DUE TO THE NICE WEATHER. I PUT THE SUNROOF IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION PRIOR TO ENTERING THE FREEWAY. NOTE THAT THE SUNROOF WAS FULLY INTACT AND WITHOUT DAMAGE AT THAT TIME. ASI WAS DRIVING EAST ON THE CA-91 FREEWAY,I HEARD A LOUD POP AND CRACKLING NOISE ‪AT ABOUT 9:20AM‬. I ALSO FELT VERY SMALL PARTICLES FALL ON MYARMS AND FACEAFTER THE NOISE. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT, SO THERE WERE NOT ANY NEARBY VEHICLES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.CONFUSED AND CAUTIOUS, I TRIED TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF. WHEN THE SUNROOF CAME OUT FROM THE ROOF ENCLOSURE, I COULD SEE IT WAS SHATTERED AND A LARGE HOLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GLASS. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY AND STOPPING IN A NEARBY PARKING LOT I EXAMINED MY CAR. I LOOKED AROUND AND SAW THERE WAS SMALL PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NEAR MY GEAR SELECTOR, AS WELL AS A FEW SLIGHTLY BIGGER PIECES IN THE FLOOR OF MY BACKSEAT OF MY CAR. I VISITED A NEAR BY HONDA DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED IT MUST HAVE BEEN HIT BY A ROCK OR SOME OTHER KIND OF DEBRIS. I FIND HONDA'S EXPLANATION NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE SUNROOF WAS IN THE ROOF ENCLOSURE WITH ONLY THE FRONT LIP OF THE GLASS EXPOSED, HOWEVER, THE MIDDLE OF THE SUNROOF IS WHERE THE DAMAGE IS CENTERED, WHICH WAS INSIDE OF THE ROOF ENCLOSURE AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT, AND THEREFORE SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY ROAD DEBRIS COULD HIT THE GLASS INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AS WELL. I PURCHASED MY HONDA CIVIC CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2016, AND IT DID NOT HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE TO THE TIME OF THIS EVENT.
Steering, Jan 6, 2018
WHILE TURNING STEERING WHEEL AT 180 DEGREES, GRINDING NOISES WERE HEARD. I RETURNED THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT MY LEFT AXLE WAS FAILING. ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS BRAND NEW. ABOUT 2 AND HALF WEEKS LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL FELT STIFF AND THE GRINDING NOISE RETURNED WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT 180 DEGREES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN AND NOW I WAS BEING TOLD THAT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AXELS NEED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, HONDA WARRANTY ONLY COVERS ONE AXEL TO REPLACED AT A TIME. NOW, I HAVE TO GO BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO HAVE MY LEFT AXEL REPLACED AGAIN AS IT IS 'PRE-FAILING' NOW.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR "NEW" FROM COGGIN HONDA IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA AT 11003 ATLANTIC BOULEVARD ON 10/17/17, IT'S PRODUCTION DATE IN THE DRIVERS-SIDE DOOR JAMB IS 02/17, IT WAS ORIGINALLY DEALER PREPPED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON 2/21/17, THE DATE CODE ON ALL FOUR TIRES ARE 50/16, INDICATING THE 50TH WEEK OF 2016, OR MANUFACTURED BETWEEN THE DATES OF 12/11/16 - 12/17/16. UPON DRIVING IT HOME ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, THE (TPMS) TIRE-PRESSURE-MONITORING-SYSTEM LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON. SIXTY MILES LATER, AFTER ARRIVING IN MY TOWN OF RESIDENCE, I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL TIRE KINGDOM TIRE STORE TO HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURES CHECKED, TWO TIRES INDICATED 21-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE, THE OTHER TWO TIRES INDICATED 22-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURER STICKER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR-JAMB INDICATES THE TIRES SHOULD BE AT 32-POUNDS OF AIR-PRESSURE. AFTERWARDS, UPON DRIVING IT AT NO-MORE THAN THE NATIONAL POSTED SPEED-LIMIT OF 70-MPH, THE TIRES HAVE EXCESSIVE ROAD-NOISE, WITH A SLIGHT VIBRATION. MEANWHILE, I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TPMS RECALIBRATED, SO THE TPMS WOULD GO OUT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION OF ALL FOUR TIRES YESTERDAY, THEY ALL HAVE SMALL BULGES ON EACH TIRE, AND THIS CAUSED ME TO CHECK SEVERAL ONLINE WEBSITES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS OF THESE TIRES. THEY ARE CONTINENTAL PRO-CONTACT TX GRAND TOURING ALL-SEASON, IN 215/50-17 TIRE SIZE. AFTER CHECKING NUMEROUS ONLINE WEBSITES AND READING ALL-KINDS OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS FOR VIBRATION, EXCESSIVE ROAD-NOISE, BUBBLES AND CRACKING IN THE SIDEWALLS, AND READING THEY ARE FILLED WITH FOAM FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO KEEP THE ROAD-NOISE DOWN TO A MINIMUM, WHICH APPARENTLY PREVENTS THE TIRES FROM BEING PATCHED FROM THE INSIDE FOR PUNCTURES, AND ALSO COMING APART FROM THE SIDEWALL AFTER BEING REMOUNTED ON A TIRE MOUNTING MACHINE, I AM SCARED OF THEM.

HONDA CIVICS FROM 2015 ON APPEAR TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL, IN PARTICULAR THE SENSOR FOR THE TRUNK. THE PARTICULAR CAR IN QUESTION IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. EXTREME SENSITIVITY RESULTS IN THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE, WITHOUT THE OWNER BEING AWARE, ACTIVATING THE CAR TRUNK, AND THE TRUNK WILL OPEN AND REMAIN OPEN UNTIL THE OWNER OR SOMEONE CLOSES IT. A TRUNK THAT OPENS RANDOMLY AND NOT BY DELIBERATE ACTION IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY FACTOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. DEALERS, SERVICE PEOPLE, AND THE AUTO MAKER ITSELF HAVE ALL DENIED THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND THAT IF IT DOES EXIST IT CANNOT BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IT IS THE OWNER'S ACTION THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN A SUGGESTION OR ADVICE AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH AN OVERLY SENSITIVE REMOTE OR A RANDOMLY OPENING TRUNK. A CAR REMOTE CONTROL WHICH WILL ACTIVATE AN ACTION JUST BY A MERE ACCIDENTAL TOUCH, IS AN INCONVENIENCE AT BEST, AND AT WORST, A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. A CAR WITH AN OPEN TRUNK CAN LEAD TO SITUATIONS WHICH CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, AND NOT ACCEPTABLE IN ANY WAY. I AM HOPING FOR SOME ACTION ON THE PART OF THE CARMAKER AND THE AUTO COMPANY, AS I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO AND HAVE FAILED TO RECEIVE ANY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE FROM THOSE WHOM I HAVE CONTACTED. ALTHOUGH ONE PARTICULAR DATE HAS BEEN PROVIDED BELOW FOR THIS EVENT HAPPENING, IT HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE AND CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY AT ANY TIME.

THIS IS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK. I CANNOT START THE CAR SUDDENLY. BATTERY IS OK. AAA REMOVED THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLED IT, THEN THE CAR CAN START. HOWEVER, THE HONDA DEALER SAID WITH THE BATTERY REMOVING, THE ERROR CODE WAS REMOVED SO CANNOT FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. THE DEALER SAID MOST PROBABLY IT WAS RELATED WITH A SOFTWARE ERROR.

NOW ITS THE 3RD TIME A REPEAT OF THE SECOND TIME EVERY INDICATOR ERROR LIGHT ILLUMINATING, NO SPEEDOMETER, AND POWER STEERING INTERMITTENT AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
