2014 Honda Civic Complaint Log

THE TPMS UNDER INFLATION WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE NOT A TIRE INFLATION PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING SENSOR AND SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH CIVICS. THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME OF THESE ONGOING PROBLEMS. THE J.L. FREED SERVICE MANAGER IS UNAWARE OF THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE NOW AVAILABLE, AND THE RECALL ON THE TIRES LEAKING FROM BAD BEADS. *TR

THERE SEEMS LITTLE TO NO CLEAR COAT ON THE CAR AND SCRATCHES EASILY APPEARS ON PAINT OF CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY ADEQUATELY AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS LEFT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PURCHASED NEW 09/2014 POHANKA HONDA OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA. WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR STOP, THIS CAR WILL OFTEN HESITATE, OR STALL, SOMETIMES WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL MOMENTARILY , WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER IT SURGES FORWARD SUDDENLY. ITHE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT I MUST GET ACCUSTOMED TO THIS NEW TYPE CRV TRANSMISSION. NEXT THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE GASOLINE. THEN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO FAULT WITH THIS CAR AND TO CONTINUE TO REPORT ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE PROBLEM AND NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT IT. WHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I AM VERY LEERY ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE ESPECIALLY THE SURGING. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR THIRTEEN MONTHS AND MY WIFE HAS ONLY DRIVEN IT TWO TIMES. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ASKED ME MANY TIMES WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY AFRAID THIS CAR WILL GET OUT OF CONTROL AND HURT SOMEONE.

DEAR HONDA AMERICAN, I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU A NUMBER OF TIMES REGARDING THE SAFETY NOTICES. EITHER YOU ARE UNABLE, OR UNWILLING, TO READ MY NOTES REGARDING THE HONDA CIVIC EX ([XXX]), DESTROYED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN SEPTEMBER 2014. THE AIR BAG - PASSENGER SIDE - EXPLODED IN A COLLISION AND TOOK OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. MY AIR BAG - DRIVE SIDE - NEVER DEPLOYED!! I WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY. I AM STILL IN PAIN FROM THE ACCIDENT. EVERY DAY. MY DOG, DAYZ, INSIDE A SAFETY-BELTED-INTO-PLACE DOG CARRIER, WAS INJURED. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE ACCIDENT, SHE BEGAN HAVING SEIZURES. AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT. WE HAD TO PUT HER TO SLEEP AT THE END OF OCTOBER 2014. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS WERE UNHELPFUL AND UNCOOPERATIVE. THEY ARE BY THE FAR AND AWAY THE ABSOLUTE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE WORD "PROACTIVE" HAS NEVER ENTERED INTO THEIR VOCABULARY. IN FACT, I WOULD NOT PURCHASE A SECOND HONDA BECAUSE THEY WERE SUCH MORONIC IDIOTS. YOUR CARS MAY BE THE CREAM OF THE CROP IN JAPAN, BUT HERE IN THE USA, WE EXPECT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ACCOMPANY THE PURCHASE OF A CAR. WHICH IS SEVERELY LACKING IN ANY OF YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF A HONDA TO ANYONE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE LITERATURE. ABOUT TRADING IN MY CAR. ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL. NOTHING. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE NEW HONDA CIVIC 2014 WAS PURCHASED FROM A DEALER THREE MONTHS AGO. CAR ONLY HAS 2600 MILES NOW. BIG CHIP ON OWNERS DOOR HANDLE, AND ONE OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHIP ON SIDE PANEL. ALSO MULTIPLE LITTLE CHIPS ON HOOD AND ON FRONT BUMPER ONCE I LOOKED CAREFULLY. SMALL NOW BUT WILL RUST AND PEEL AND UNFAIR TO SELL CAR LIKE THIS. SALESMAN SAID I JUST SELL THEM NOT FIX THEM. TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP THAT I PAID TO REPLACE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE. AND USED SILVER BOTTLE OF PAINT I BOUGHT FROM DEALER AND TRIED TO TOUCH UP SPOTS SO WON'T RUST BUT CAN SEE SPOTS AND DOESN'T MATCH. FEEL LIKE PAID NEW CAR PRICE FOR USED CAR. GOT RIPPED OFF. SALESMAN SAID ONCE YOU INSPECT CAR IT IS YOUR PROBLEM. NOW READ OTHERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM. LAST CIVIC. LAST HONDA. BAD DEALER AND SALESMAN TOO. ONCE YOU BUY CAR THEY NO LONGER CARE. NOTE-AUTO BODY SHOP ALSO SAW IMPERFECTIONS AND SAID THAT WAS NOT RIGHT FOR BRAND NEW CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE INDICATOR WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON FOURTEEN OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,317.

THIS CAR HAS HAD A CONTINUAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MECHANISM AND HAS BEEN SERVICED THREE TIMES WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. AND WHEN THE BRAND NEW TIRE BLEW OUT THE SENSOR FAILED. ALSO THE POWER TRAIN IS BAD, THE CAR DRIVES SLUGGISH AND LOSES POWER DURING TURNS AND ALSO IN JUST REGULAR DRIVING .. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. *TR

I HAD TURNED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER NEAR MY HOME AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HIT THE CURB. I WAS GOING ONLY ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH AS YOU CAN'T GO TOO FAST INTO A TURN WITH A MANUAL CAR WITHOUT STALLING. I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND CHECK THE AREA WHERE THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD. THE TIRE BLOWOUT ALSO CAUSED OTHER DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IS WAS A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I JUST PURCHASE APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AND THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 3500 MILES. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO THEIR BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRE AND THEY REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF A TIRE DEFECT. THEY TRIED TO BLAME ME FOR THE TIRE BLOW OUT CLAIMING THAT I HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE BLOWOUT. NOW, I AM FINDING OUT THAT OTHER CARS MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR WERE RECALLED DUE TO A FAULTY TIRE. I AM FRUSTRATED AND NOT SURE HOW TO GET SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE TIRE ISSUE. I NOW HAVE AN UNEXPECTED EXPENSE FOR REPAIRS ON A NEW CAR. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE OF THE REPAIRS OR THE IMPACT TO MY INSURANCE BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS BEING CONSIDERED AN "AT FAULT" ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL SPEEDS, MY VEHICLE ALERTED ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM. THE SRS LIGHT WAS RESET AND I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP IF THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I DID NOT MAKE IT HOME BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I AGAIN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND LEAVE IT ALL DAY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2014 ON 6/27/2014. ONE MONTH AND A HALF LATER DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE, EACH TIME I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO 50 MILES/HOUR, I STARTED FEELING SOME JERKINESS. SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR, I WAS NOT SURE THAT IT WAS NORMAL OR NOT. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PULLING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE CAR STOPPED AND THE ENGINE DIED. I TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON THE SAME DAY. NEXT DAY I CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND TOOK MY CAR FOR THE INSPECTION. THEY FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD A DEFECT AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEN ON 10/19/2014, WHEN I WAS DRIVING A STREET, I GOT A TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. MY HUSBAND HELPED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES, BUT THE WARNING SIGN DID NOT DISAPPEAR. ON 10/27/2014, WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE AFTERNOON, A SERIES OF WARNINGS APPEARED (VSA, TPMS, EPS, ABS). AFTER HE GOT HOME, HE CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK FOR TOWING SERVICE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AS HE DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR AND PERFORMED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE VSA SYSTEM. HOWEVER THE DEALER STATED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE RPMS INCREASED TO 2000, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

The taffeta white paint started peeling off the car within just three months after originally purchasing in 2014. The paint continues to peel off in various places and is causing the body to corrode and rust. Honda refuses to do anything about this. There is no reason for it to be peeling off at the rate it is. This has been happening since just after purchasing the car and will cost thousands to fix the rust and repaint. This is a major issue that Honda has not acknowledged and it’s happening to many people.

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON JULY 10, 2014. ALL TIRES MEASURED 33 PSI. ON JULY 16, SIX DAYS LATER AFTER THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. ALL TIRES MEASURED 33 PSI AND AGAIN THE DEALER RESET THE SYSTEM. HONDA AMERICA WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THEY WOULD HAVE A SOFTWARE FIX BY THE END OF JULY. ON OCTOBER 13, 2014 THE TP LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE TIRES MEASURED 33 PSI. THE DEALER WILL HAVE ANOTHER GO AT RESETTING THE SYSTEM ON 10/14/2014 FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CAR NOW HAS 2596 MILES ON IT. WHAT IS HONDAS PROBLEM? *TR

PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 5-28-14 FROM CRISWELL HONDA IN GERMANTOWN, MD. FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED 7-8-14 I NOTICED THERE WAS A WET SPOT ON THE SIDE PANEL BY THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WENT IN TO CRISWELL 7-11-14 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ISSUE. WENT BACK 7-14-14 TO COMPLAIN AGAIN. AFTER BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND, THE SALES MANAGER ALLOWED ME TO BRING IT IN ON A SATURDAY (7-19-14)AFTER THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I COULD NOT BRING IT IN ON A WEEKEND, SERVICE HAD TO BE DONE DURING THE WEEK. WAS NOT GOING TO BE PROVIDED A VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE CAUSED BY A BLOCK IN THE AC VALVE. SECOND PROBLEM OCCURRED 9-13-14, I HEARD A WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM MY SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS GOING 75 MPH. TOOK IT IN TO HERSONS HONDA 9-18-14 AND PICKED IT UP 9-19-14. THEY HAD TO REPLACE/ORDER A NEW WINDOW FOR MY SUNROOF BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WINDOW CAME UNGLUED FROM RUBBER SEALING. COMPLAINED TO AMERICAN HONDA FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR MY CAR, WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL. THIRD PROBLEM, WENT IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE 3-21-15 AT CRISWELL, SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME MY CAR HAD A FLUID LEAK. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD OR WOULD TELL ME WHAT TYPE OF FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM MY CAR OR WHERE THE LEAK WAS. SERVICE ADVISOR ASKED ME TO BRING CAR IN ON 4-4-15 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, ALLOWING ME TO LEAVE THEIR DEALERSHIP WITH A LEAKING VEHICLE. *TR

MY CAR IS 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX-L NAVI WITH PUSHBUTTON ENGINE START/STOP. I WAS APPROACHING AN INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ACTIVATE THE 4-WAY FLASHERS AS A WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON, I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON BY MISTAKE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS JUST BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE FLASHER BUTTON IS ABOUT SIX INCHES TO THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE START/STOP BUTTON. OF COURSE WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THANKFULLY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND I CONTINUED TO COAST SLIGHTLY LEFT. I ORDER TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS A DIFFICULT SEQUENCE TO PERFORM WHEN ONE'S VEHICLE IS DEAD AND COASTING WITH MINIMAL CONTROL. BY THE TIME I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND REGAINED CONTROL I WAS APPROACHING THE JERSEY BARRIERS IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BEING PASSED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS REAL EASY TO OPERATE. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FULLY DEPRESSED, JUST A SLIGHT TOUCH WILL ACTIVATE IT. MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE FLASHER BUTTON THAN THE START/STOP BUTTON. PLUS, THE START/STOP BUTTON PROTRUDES FROM THE SURFACE OF THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY PRESSED BY ACCIDENT. THE START/STOP SHOULD BE RECESSED INSIDE A SHROUD AND ACTIVATION SHOULD REQUIRE A FULL DEPRESSION AND BE HELD FOR AT LEAST TWO SECONDS. AND IDEALLY THE FLASHER BUTTON SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO THE TOP CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD. THE EVENT DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR

AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING FROM THE COMPUTER ON THE DASH "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE." I WENT TO WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWICE AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND THEY SHUT THE COMPUTER SYMBOL OFF. THEN 3 MONTHS GOES BY AND IT COMES ON AGAIN, I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY CLAIMED "THERE WAS A SMALL LEAK IN THE TIRE." MAJESTIC HONDA FIXED IT?? AND MADE ME PAY $100.00 FOR THIS. NOW IT IS JUNE 29TH, 2015 AND MY LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN AND IN ANOTHER TIRE IT WAS LOW. THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY LOW AND I HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO MAJESTIC BUT I THINK THAT #1 THE FIRST FEW MONTHS SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER, I DO NOT THINK THERE WAS ANY LEAK IN THE TIRE, I LOOKED AT THE TIRE AND I DID NOT FIND WHERE THEY "FIXED THE SMALL LEAK." NOW IN ANOTHER TIRE IT IS GOING FLAT. I HAVE READ THAT YOU HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. YOU HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS BUT NOT MINE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND YOUR ELECTRICAL WITH THE TIRES. PLEASE CALL ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE TIRES WHEN THEIR WAS A RECALL AND MAYBE YOU MISSED MINE. ALSO MY FRIEND BOUGHT THE EXACT CAR I DID AND HER LIGHT "CHECK TIRES" GOES ON CONSISTENTLY.

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AT DUSK AND TRIED TO PUT THE NIGHT-TIME HEADLIGHTS ON, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WENT OFF. WHEN I SWITCHED TO DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT BACK ON. TESTED A FEW TIMES, AND EVERY TIME THE NIGHT-TIME HEADLIGHTS WIPED OUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. *TR

SORRY -- THIS IS TO DELETE MY COMPLAINT FILED ON JUNE 9. NOTHING'S WRONG AFTER ALL. *TR

I WAS TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BARLEY HIT CURB, TIRE WENT FLAT, CALLED AUTO CLUB THEY CHANGED TO SPARE, WENT TO TIRE STORE, THEY SAID TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. I BOUGHT NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE ,DIFFERENT BRAND. VERY POOR QUALITY OE TIRES, TIRES SHOULD NOT FAIL THAT EASILY. ONLY 1700 MILES ON NEW CAR. *TR

THE CAR WAS TWO WEEKS OLD WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE SHOP ON 3 OCCASIONS FOR A TOTAL OF SIX AND ONE HALF DAYS AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. AS OF 6/4/14, HONDA INDICATES THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT READING THE TIRE PRESSURE CORRECTLY AND THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT.THEY SAY MAY HAVE A SOLUTION SOMETIME IN JULY 2014. THE WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS AND VARIOUS SPEEDS, MAKING THE WARNING SYSTEM USELESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE DESIRED SPEED. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO CHANGE GEARS TO D2 IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT FELT LIKE THE GEARS WERE SLIPPING AND THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD REVVING NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP FROM HIGH SPEEDS OR ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE OCEAN HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V574000 (POWER TRAIN); THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RECEIVE THE REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON ACCELERATOR I.E. TO MERGE OR CHANGE LANE FROM OBSTACLE THERE IS NO RESPONSE IT GOES FLAT / REPORTED TO HONDA FROM FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, 04/21/2014

THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (WHICH ALSO AFFECTS THE TRACTION) DOES NOT WORK. THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO COME ON EACH TIME YOU START THE CAR. IT CAN ONLY BE TURNED OFF MANUALLY. MY CAR SHOWS THE SYSTEM IS OFF AT ALL TIMES. I AM UNABLE TO TURN IT ON MANUALLY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WITH THE SYSTEM OFF. HONDA SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. THE OIL LIFE SCREEN HAS ALSO DISAPPEARED FROM THE INFORMATION SCREEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. AGAIN, HONDA HAS NO SOLUTION. THIS IS THE SAME VEHICLE REFERENCED IN COMPLAINT #10598540. *TR

HAD TO APPLY BRAKE WITH LEFT FOOT AND THEN APPLY GAS PEDDLE WITH RIGHT FOOT FOR IMMEDIATE ACCELERATION TO AVOID ACCIDENT. UPON APPLYING BRAKE AND THEN THE GAS CAR BOGGED AS IF TO STALL ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE INITIAL INCIDENT. I TOOK CAR TO FOX HONDA, MICHIGAN (DEALER WHERE CAR WAS LEASED FROM) AND THEY INDICATED THAT I SHOULDN'T BREAK WITH LEFT AND THEN GIVE IT GAS WITH RIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ONE SCENARIO WHERE THIS WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE AND IN EACH CASE IT BOGGED TO POINT OF STALL BEFORE ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

BEGINNING THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE CHECK TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE EACH TIME TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, WHICH HAS 98% OF THE TIME BEEN FINE. THEY HAVE DONE 2 COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADES, THE FIRST OF WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON; THE 2ND TIME IT WAS UPGRADED, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. I RECENTLY LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 8 HOURS AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT SAID IT WAS A SMALL DISCREPANCY IN THE TREAD OF THE TIRES - ONE TIRE HAD 4/32 OF A TREAD AND THE OTHERS HAD 5/32. HOWEVER, SINCE THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE TIRES WERE THEN NEW, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION AND NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED BACK INTO THE DRIVE POSITION WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CANAL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I LEASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC AND I CAN NOT DRIVE IT WITHOUT EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY NECK. THE HEADRESTS SHOVE MY HEAD FORWARD AND I CAN NOT FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION. I AM HEARTBROKEN, ANGRY AND IN PAIN. AFTER MY FIRST 30 MINUTE DRIVE IN THIS CAR, I RESEARCHED ONLINE THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO THE NEW HEAD RESTRAINT REGULATIONS. I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE SIGNED A 3 YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WAS AGREEING TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THREE YEARS OF PAIN. I'VE TRIED ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT, ADJUSTING THE TILT OF THE SEAT AND THE HEADREST HEIGHT IN EVERY COMBINATION I CAN THINK OF AND ALL I CAN ACHIEVE IS A BARELY TOLERABLE DRIVING POSITION WHERE I CAN BARELY SEE OVER THE DASHBOARD AND THE HEADREST IS RAISED HIGH ENOUGH THAT IT DOESN'T TOUCH MY HEAD - NOR PROTECT IT AS DESIGNED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS MAINLY AN ISSUE WITH PASSIVE HEADRESTS AND THAT THE ACTIVE HEADRESTS ARE A BETTER DESIGN THAT STAY OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SPACE. MY ONLY OPTION WILL BE TO REVERSE THE HEADREST FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND HOPE MY CAR ISN'T REAR ENDED. ALTHOUGH HAVING MY NEW CAR TOTALED WOULD BE A BLESSING BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND A VEHICLE TO DRIVE THAT DOESN'T HURT ME PHYSICALLY. I SEE THAT THESE FORWARD TILTING HEADREST COMPLAINTS ONLINE GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2008 WHEN THE NEW REGULATIONS CAME OUT THAT FORCED CAR MANUFACTURERS TO PRODUCE VEHICLES THAT TORTURE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF AMERICANS EVERY YEAR. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY PAID $200 OR $300 MORE FOR AN ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM THAT STAYED OUT OF MY WAY. THE NHTSA SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR THEIR DISGUSTING CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO SUFFER EVERY DAY DUE TO THESE GOVERNMENT-REQUIRED HEADRESTS FORCING THEIR NECKS AND SPINES INTO UNNATURAL AND PAINFUL POSITIONS. *JS

WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS ON AND ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD (ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP), I SMELL EXHAUST IN THE CABIN. I HAVE HAD THE SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR DRIVE IT TWICE AND THE MECHANICS CLAIM THEY DO NOT SMELL IT. I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND DO NOT WANT MY FAMILY BREATHING CO! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED!

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. CHECKED TIRES AND PRESSURE EVERYTHING IS OK HAVE TO RESET., THEN IS OK FOR AWHILE THIS IS VERY ANNOYING HAVE TO PULL OVER TO CHECK EVER TIME.THIS CAN BE UNSAFE AT TIMES. HONDA CALLS IT TPMS LIGHT. *TR

I, [XXX], ATTEST THAT THE EVENT DESCRIBED BELOW IS THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ACCIDENT ON 03/30/2014. SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED. ON SUNDAY MARCH 30, 2014 I HIT VERY BY ANOTHER CAR THAT RAN THE RED LIGHT. THE GALANT WAS GOING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH WHEN IT HIT ME, THE FORCE WAS GREAT THAT THE CARS THEN SMACKED TOGETHER AND SPRANG OUT AGAIN. I NOTICE THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY; SIDE OR EVEN FRONT. I CALLED MY PARENTS. THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED. FIVE MINUTES LATER MY PARENTS ARRIVED. THE JSO AND FHP THEN IGNORED ME FOR 20 MINUTES, WHILE THEY TALKED WITH THE OTHER DRIVER. DAMAGE WAS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS BENT SLIGHTLY IN-WARD AT AN ANGLE, AXLE ROD AND STRUT SHOT, WHEEL WELL HAD DE-WELDED FROM THE MAIN BODY. CRUMPLED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL, DRIVER SIDE DOORS WHERE NOT DENTED BUT A SLIGHT WARP WAS IN THE DOORS SO THEY DID NOT COMPLETE TOP CLOSURE. REAR DRIVER SIDE LAMP AND BUMPER CRACKED/DETACHED. IN THE INTERIOR, THE CENTER CONSOLE WHERE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS HAD POPPED THE PLASTIC. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEARL COLLISION CENTER, WHO ESTIMATED THAT THEY COULD FIX THE DAMAGE. WHEN I QUESTIONED THIS, THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT TOTALED DUE TO DAMAGE WAS DEEMED 30% OF THE ACTUAL COST OF THE VEHICLE VALUE. I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND IF THEY WOULD BE CHECKED. I WAS HIT PRETTY HARD AND WHY HAVE AIR BAGS FOR SAFETY IF THEY DON''T WORK. I ALSO QUESTIONED THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. STATE FARM WOULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR WOULD AMERICA HONDA ABOUT THOROUGHLY CHECKING THE AIR BAGS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

INFLATE TIRE LIGHT WENT ON IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF DRIVING. LEARNED FROM PARTS MANAGER THAT THIS IS COMMON AND A SOFTWARE ISSUE. NO FIX RIGHT NOW. HANDS FREE CALLING WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. NOT SAFE TO USE WHILE DRIVING AND FRUSTRATING THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME. HONDA CORP. SAYS THIS IS COMMON AND WE NEED TO GET USED TO IT ONLY WORKING SOMETIMES. MILEAGE ON STICKER SAID 30MPG CITY / 39MPG HIGHWAY. I GET 22-23 MPG ON SUBURBAN STREETS (NOT SHORT CITY BLOCKS). THIS IS WORSE THAN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD THAT I TRADED IN FOR THIS CIVIC. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THE CIVIC VS. THE ACCORD WAS DUE TO THE GREAT MILEAGE I WAS ASSURED I WOULD GET ON THE CIVIC. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA OWNER FOR THE LAST 25 YRS. THIS IS MY 4TH HONDA AND IT WILL BE MY LAST. I VIEW THIS CAR AS A LEMON. NO CAR (ESPECIALLY A HONDA) SHOULD NEED TO BE FIXED IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF OWNERSHIP. IT'S BEEN TO PAULY HONDA 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY DEFENSIVE. BEWARE. HONDA DOES NOT MAKE THE CARS THAT IT USED TO MAKE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE TRANSMISSION PULLEY IS UNDER RECALL NOTICING ISSUES

WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A DESIGN FLAW. THE RUBBER BLADE FLOATS BACK INTO A HOUSING, IN FREEZING CONDITIONS, ICE BUILDS UP IN THE HOUSING, THE RUBBER PART GETS STUCK IN THE HOUSING AND LOSES CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. CAN HAPPEN SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING. THIS SEVERELY IMPAIRS VISIBILITY AND CREATES A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. LIVED IN MICHIGAN MY WHOLE LIFE, THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY NORMAL WIPER PROBLEMS IN THE WINTER. WENT TO HONDA SERVICE CENTER, THEY DECLINED TO HELP. *TR
