UPON STOPPING AND REMOVING THE DRIVER SEAT BELT, THE ELECTRONIC MONITORING SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PROHIBIT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING WHEN STOPPED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS NOT, REPEAT, HAS NOT ENGAGED MULTIPLE TIMES UPON PARKING MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED FORWARD OR BACKWARD, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

THIS PAST SUMMER (SUMMER OF 2019) MY WIFE'S 2018 HONDA CIVIC'S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BEGAN TO LOSE ITS ABILITY TO COOL AIR GRADUALLY, UNTIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOTTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR, IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. BECAUSE IT IS A LEASE, I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR HOME HONDA SERVICE CENTER .THEY REFUSED TO COVER COSTS ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE THE MALFUNCTION HAD BEEN CAUSED BY ROAD DEBRIS ON THE CONDENSER. FAST FORWARD TO NOVEMBER, I RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2018 CIVIC CONDENSERS. IT WAS CLEAR TO ME THEN, THAT THE MALFUNCTION WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND NOT DUE TO MY WIFE GOING OFF-ROADING (WHICH SHE DOESN'T DO LOL). I BECAME HOPEFUL THAT HONDA WOULD REIMBURSE ME (OVER $800). AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR TWO MONTHS, I JUST RECEIVED A CALL IN WHICH THEY ADVISED ME THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE MALFUNCTION (HAVING BEEN CAUSED BY "ROAD DEBRIS" SUPPOSEDLY), HONDA WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. I HAVE CLEARLY BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN, WHEN COLD OUT THE SCREEN WILL NOT COME ON, ONLY DISPLAYS A BLANK WHITE SCREEN. THIS REQUIRES SEVERAL RESTARTS, SCREEN GOES BLANK (BLACK) LOSE ALL CONTROLS AND RADIO. EVEN AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON FOR MILES AND THEN COMES IN AND OUT UNTIL IT FULLY REBOOTS. WILL MAKE A TONE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE SCREEN DURING NAVIGATION AND AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, WILL SOMETIMES NOT RE-ENGAGE NAVIGATION AT ALL, UNTIL NEXT DAY.

MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAS AROUND 5,000 MILES. I DROVE 25 MINUTES TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER. I PARKED ON A CITY STREET. IMMEDIATELY, AS I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK, PEOPLE ON THE STREET STARTED SCREAMING AT ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS ON FIRE. THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE. AS I WAITED FOR THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE FIRE SPREAD TO THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND ENGULFED IT. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY SOMETHING MECHANICAL. THERE IS A POLICE REPORT BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN A COPY YET. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES/PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR LEADING UP TO THE FIRE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I45 AT ABOUT 70MPH WHEN I HEARD A REALLY LOUD POP. CONFUSED, I WAS LOOKING IN ALL MY MIRRORS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED, AS I KNEW I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR FEEL ANYTHING. I HEAR LOUD WIND NOISES, AND OPEN MY SUNROOF SHADE TO FIND 90 % OF MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED UP AND OUT ONTO THE FREEWAY. NOTHING HIT MY SUNROOF. I WASN'T DRIVING BEHIND ANYONE FOR AT LEAST A 1/4 MILE. I DIDN'T DRIVE UNDER AN OVERPASS. I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT LATE, SO NOTHING CAME FROM THE OTHER SIDE. IT JUST EXPLODED. THE GLASS REMAINING WAS ANGLED OUTWARD, NOT INSIDE MY CAR. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE HONDA OF SPRING DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY. THIS IS A DEFECT/MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN TOLD ME THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME HE'S SEEN IT.... AND YOU DONT THINK ITS A PROBLEM?

I PURCHASED A 2018 BRAND NEW CIVIC. ONLY HAD 15 MILES ON IT. I ONLY HAVE HAD IT NOW FOR FOUR MONTHS AND I CAN VERY CONFIDENTLY SAY THIS CAR IS A LEMON. THE MOON ROOF QUIT WORKING. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO AIKEN HONDA AND AFTER FOUR HOURS AND TWO MEN WORKING ON IT THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS A ROCK IN IT AND THEY PRODUCED ME A ROCK BIGGER THAN A FIFTY CENT PIECE. THERE'S NO WAY THAT GIANT ROCK WAS IN MY MOON ROOF. I WOULD OF SEEN IT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT MYSELF. I THINK THEY JUST PICKED UP ONE OF THE RIVER ROCKS THAT ARE IN THEIR PARKING LOT PLANTERS. (THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE, IRONIC HUH? NOT TO ME BECAUSE THIS HONDA IS THE ONE WHO SOLD ME THIS LEMON ALONG WITH SCAMMING ME OUT OF 30,000. DO NOT SHOP HERE) SO THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE MOON ROOF. EVEN THO THEY MADE ME WITHOUT MY CONCENT PURCHASE 3 WARRANTYS (HAD NO CLUE)) ALSO THE MECHANICAL SEAT HAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT THAT IS KIND OF SCARY. IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY BACK AND LEAN ALL THE WAY BACK (AS TO NOT HIT THE AIRBAG AND NOT LAY DOWN) IT MAKES AN AWFUL DING NOISE IN THE SEAT THAT CAN BE FELT AS IF A GIANT SPRING IS POPPING UNDER THE SEAT CUSHION AND YOU CAN LITERALLY FEEL IT HIT HARD. AS IF IT MIGHT POP THRU THE SEAT INTO YOUR BUTT CHEEK... SCARED ME

WHILE WASHING MY 2 DAY OLD CAR A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF THE LOWER KICK PANEL. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR IT. I TOLD THEM THEY COULD HAVE THE CAR BACK. SUDDENLY THEY WERE GOING TO REPAIR IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE PANEL. 2 DAYS AGO ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR TO THE DAY,I WAS WASHING MY CAR AND IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE A CHUNK OF PAINT BLOWS OFF ( A BIT IRONIC). I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (CANT TRUST SUPERSTITION SPRINGS AFTER THEY LIED TO ME). I CALLED HONDA THEY SAID NO PROBLEM TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE HONDA SAID THEY HAD PAID FOR THE FIX ONCE. NO WAY THEY REPLACED THE PANEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF IT EVER BEING REPLACED AND THE PAPER WORK I HAVE DOES NOT STATE THE PANEL WAS REPLACED. THEY DIDNT CHANGE THE PANEL, THEY SLAPPED SOME TOUCH UP ON IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY.

ON JUNE 21, 2019, OWNER OF A 2018 HONDA CIVIC 5 DOOR HATCHBACK GRAND TOURING WAS DRIVING ALONG A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY IN A 45 M.P.H. ZONE. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 46 M.P.H. THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM (CMBS) SUDDENLY ACTIVATED WITHOUT THERE BEING A VEHICLE OR PERSON IN FRONT OR TO THE IMMEDIATE EITHER SIDE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE CMBS WENT DIRECTLY INTO STAGE 3 ACTIVATION OUT A POSSIBLE 3 CMBS STAGES. THESE ARE: STAGE 1: VISUAL AND AUDIBLE WARNING STAGE 2: VISUAL AND AUDIBLE WARNING AND LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION STAGE 3: VISUAL AND AUDIBLE WARNING AND STRONG BRAKE APPLICATION THIS ALMOST CAUSED OWNERS CAR TO BE REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE TRAVELING DIRECTLY BEHIND OWNERS CAR DUE TO THE VIOLENT AND STRONG APPLICATION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN OWNERS CAR. REMEMBER, NO CARS TO FRONT OR IMMEDIATE FRONT SIDES OR A PERSON IN THOSE POSITIONS EITHER. THE APPLICATION OF THE CMBS CAUSED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY TO THE OWNER OF THE 2018 HONDA CIVIC OR THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE REAR OF OWNERS' VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT. DEALER STATES COMPUTER GLITCH IN DATA SYSTEM. NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EVENT WERE FOUND. AND A VERBAL STATEMENT FROM TECHNICIAN OF 'THESE THINGS HAPPEN'. NOT VERY SATISFACTORY ANSWER WHEN THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO SHOP IN CONJUNCTION WITH A HOPEFULLY SEPARATE ISSUE THAT WILL BE REPORTED SEPARATELY. THE TECHNICIAN CLEARED ALL CODES AND TEST DROVE VEHICLE FOR 2 MILES. TECHNICIAN STATED SHE COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND RELEASED CAR. OWNER HAD TO RETURN TO SHOP TO HAVE TECHNICIAN SET THE SYSTEM SO THE CMBS COULD BE MANUALLY DEACTIVATED AGAIN AS WHEN VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO SHOP.
