2017 Honda Civic Complaint Log

VIBRATION IN ENGINE

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the local dealer for an oil change and the contact was informed by the service tech that there was a lubrication leak underneath the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The local dealer replaced the half-shaft to fix the failure. The contact stated that several months later the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and the half-shaft was replaced 4 more times however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage is approximately 5,877. Consumer stated the report from field engineer done on 11/12/21 stating that there is a leak in bearing for the half shaft but it’s not there problem no repair authorization, happened also again on 12/10/2021.

2017 Hatchbacks with the 1.5 liter engine 4 cylinder didn’t get an extended warranty yet all other Hondas with this engine did because of problems but not the hatchback when same parts and same problems I never want to buy a new Honda again . Had to get a coolant flush not soon after I bought it because car was over heating yet that’s all they did never looked by into why and then problem after problem . A night mare buying a new Honda . Seen many videos and read many threads of people with same year and sa b me complaints and I’ve contacted a lot of people and no place knows why the hatchbacks weren’t covered but other cars same engine same problem was. Had to rebuild engine and replace turbo at 103,00 miles after having to replace spark plugs every 7 thousand miles the whole time I owned it and adding coolant to it when dealership said it want a problem and did nothing about it and now at 130000 some miles car just keeps over heating and dealership just told me I need a new engine and wouldn’t tell me why and dealership never been helpful at all. Just look at my car and engine online and all the complaints. Then being told issue is fixed with an ECU update just don’t drive the car short distances with a lot of stop and goes only drive long distances and don’t drive in winter time . I lost it because how is that the problem being fixed . And all the carbon build up is insane. And the oil dilution problem still exists. All these defects and problems with a new car is insane . I figured a new car would be better but of course first new vehicle I buy is a Lemon and all these problems and Honda won’t do right by it . Car also going into what I call limo dick mode in middle of 4 lane high way is dangerous and doing that when car was under 20,000 miles and always has . Also parking brake still messes up even though it was recalled the problem still exists . Him screen occasionally freezes or goes blank or don’t work . Just non stop problems since bought new

SUN VISORS (WHEN STARTING FROM THE DOOR/WINDOW) SWING WHEN MAKING A TURN. THIS CAN STARTLE THE DRIVER IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MORE DETAILS: BOTH SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY FIXED WHEN TURNED TO BE NEXT TO THE DOOR WINDOW. EXAMPLE, WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS THE VISOR NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND MAKES A LEFT TURN THE VISOR HITS DRIVER IN THE HEAD. IT'S MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN THE VISOR IS EXTENDED. ONLINE FORUM WITH SIMILAR ISSUES: HTTPS://WWW.CIVICX.COM/THREADS/WEAK-SUN-VISORS.25794/

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.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE A/C FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK. TWO DAY AGO MY A/C STOP WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING 41K MILES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY (DEALERSHIP) DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES. THE REPAIR COST WAS $1,500. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL BUYER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE A/C TRIGGERED SOMETHING IN MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT LET IT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THE A/C IS ENTITLED.

VEHICLE HESITATING, FAILING TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN 25 MPH. VEHICLE HAS LOST DRIVEN GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND ABRUPTLY RETURNED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, VEHICLE EXHIBITING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. TRANSMISSION RELATED GRINDING NOISE ON WARM-START, ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD START. COLLISION MITIGATING BRAKING SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER. ENGINE CURRENTLY LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL FROM AROUND THE HEAD AND ONTO SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESSES, A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF FIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE.

FUEL (GASOLINE) IS SEEPING INTO THE MOTOR OIL CAUSING A OVERFILL MARK ON OIL DIPSTICK AND STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN CAR IS STARTED. OIL VISCOSITY SEEMS TO BE "THINNER" AFTER 2000 + MILES OF DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG ISLAND HONDA HILO (75-5608 KUAKINI HWY, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96720, 1-(808) 961-5505) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *BF *JB

SINCE WE GOT THE CAR, DECEMBER 2017, THE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE GOT IT AND TWICE IN OCTOBER, WHILE MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TWO DEALERS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND HONDA SAYS IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WON'T START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I CAN NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG FAIL IF WE WERE TO GET IN A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SUN ROOF OPENED AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN SPONTANEOUSLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

VEHICULE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH ALL WARNING LIGHTS POP UP, VEHICULE LOSS POWER UNTIL STALL. EVENT OCCURS 3 OCCATIONS IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH.

UPON DOING RESEARCH ON THE TECH THAT WENT INTO THE MOTOR OF THE 2017 SI. I FOUND THAT THE SAME MOTOR WAS IN THE 2017 CRV AND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON IT FOR A FULE PROBLEM. I DID NOT FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE HOWEVER I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN CHANGEING OIL THERE IS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. I'M AFRAID OF THERE BEING DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR DUE TO LOSS OF LUBRICATION. (THE DATE I'LL PUT FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED WILL BE THE LAST DATE OF AN OIL CHANGE.)

OIL SMELLS OF GASOLINE

FUEL IS MIXING WITH OIL. OIL DIPSTICK READS HIGHER WHEN CHECKED. ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS SLUGGISH. WHEN CHECKING OIL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. AS A RESULT, OIL IS SIGNIFICANTLY THINNER WHEN CHECKED.

THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN 2018. IT IS NOW BEING REPORTED ON CARFAX AS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO A $74 BRACKET THAT WAS REPLACED ON THE BACK. THE CAR IS NOW UNDERVALUED DUE TO THIS. THE CAR WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN AND COLLIDED WITH THE BACK LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT WAS AT A STAND STILL. *TR

MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK, WITH 13,015 MILES ON IT, WAS IN MY CARPORT AND HAD ONLY BEEN SITTING 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE. AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO SURPRISE HONDA (BIG MISTAKE) AND THEY SAW THAT MY HARNESS (PART NUMBER 53682-TSA-A01) WAS CHEWED BY RODENTS WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS AND KNOWS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. HONDA EVEN HAS A SPECIAL SPICY TAPE, WHICH THEY CHARGE FOR AS WELL, THAT THEY CAN USE TO WRAP THE WIRING TO DETER THE RODENTS (WHICH THE SERVICE MGR SAID REALLY DOESN'T WORK.) HONDA SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 370.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 20.00 DOLLARS. IT IS 108 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE RODENTS ARE NOT GOING INTO MY ENGINE TO KEEP WARM!! THE SOY BASE WIRING IS ATTRACTING THEM TO DO THE DAMAGE. HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIP WERE OF NO HELP WHATSOEVER EXCEPT TO MAKE MONEY OFF A POOR CHOICE IN THEIR SOY BASE WIRING.

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!

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THE CAR'S A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE VENTS EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING WAS SET TO LOWEST TEMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THROW UP FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE I'M DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN NOVEMBER 2017. IN AUGUST 2018 THE AC WENT OUT. (I KNOW IN AUGUST RIGHT!). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE O-RING. THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER MY CAR WARRANTY. NINE MONTHS LATER (MAY 2019) THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE A/C WENT OUT. THIS TIME THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE CONDENSER. IT IS EVEN NOTED IN THE PAPERWORK THAT THE AC IS BLOWING HOT "AGAIN". THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. 13 MONTHS LATER (JUNE 2020) WHILE SERVICING AN OIL CHANGE, THE HONDA SERVICE FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE COMPRESSOR. THIS TIME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY, HOWEVER THROUGH HONDA CARE I WAS CHARGED A DEDUCTIBLE ($100.00). *TR

I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT, APPROACHING A GATE WITH AN INDUCTIVE-LOOP TRAFFIC DETECTOR, WHICH CAN DETECT VEHICLES PASSING OR ARRIVING AT A CERTAIN POINT, ONCE A VEHICLE IS DETECTED THE GATE WOULD OPEN. I WAS APPROACHING, MAYBE 50 FEET FROM THE GATE, AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE OF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD TOWARDS THE GATE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS I WAS APPROACHING THE GATE WHICH WAS STILL CLOSED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE FLOOR BOARD OR ANYTHING OBSTRUCTING THE PEDALS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO ABRUPTLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID STRIKING THE GATE. MY HONDA IS EQUIPPED WITH HONDA SENSING AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED, MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR BECAUSE THE "BRAKE" WARNING WAS ON, IT OBSERVED THE GATE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A "POP," THERE WAS NO ALERT OR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COOPERATE. SO I WENT OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I FOUND OUT MY PASSENGER REAR RIGHT SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT COMPLETELY.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ON A POURING RAIN AND SUDDENLY MY WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED. THIS ALMOST CAUSE ME ACCIDENT. ALSO, WHEN I PRESS MY GAS ON A REALLY FAST HIGHWAY, I TRIED TO FLOOR THE GAS BUT IT WASN'T ACCELERATING, I HAD TO SWITCH GEAR FOR IT TO WORK.

IJULY 2017 IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY RE-SETTING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AT LEGAL SPEED OF 70 MILES AN HOUR! ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR'S DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED WITH EVERY COLORED WARNING LIGHT & A SPINNING-DOTED CIRCLE LIGHT AS IF CAR COMPUTER WAS SEARCHING FOR A SIGNAL OR BEING REMOTELY RESET! THE RADIO TURNED OFF, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK, THE COMPUTER DASHBOARD FLASHED UNTIL FINALLY THE 'H' HONDA LOGO APPEARED ON THE RADIO SCREEN RESETTING ITSELF. SCARING ME TO BELIEVE THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN OR ABOUT TO MALFUNCTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THREE MONTHS LATER THE RADIO, SATELLITE, SIDE MIRROR CAMERA, REAR BACKUP CAMERA EVERY THING ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPUTER BRAIN OF THIS CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT! NOTHING CAN BE RESET THROUGH THE RADIO AS IT'S JUST STUCK. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS NO EXPLANATION OTHER REPLACEMENT FOR SAFETY! DEALERSHIP REACHED OUT TO HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE AS I'VE EXCEEDED 36,000 MILE COMPLEMENTARY WARRANTY. HONDA ACTUALLY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MALFUNCTION AT FIRST, STATING THEY WOULD PAY/COVER MAJORITY OF COST LEAVING BALACE OF $300. I FOUND THIS TO BE CRAZY, AS THIS ELECTICAL MALFUNCTION WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN & SHOULD INITIATE RECALL! AS I NOW HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF ALL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ARE ERROR OR ACTUAL SAFETY WARNINGS! I HAVE NO REAR CAMERA OR SIDE MIRROR CAMERA DUE TO THIS RADIO/COMPUTER MALFUNCTION! THIS IS A DANGER DRIVING THIS CAR SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND EXPLAINED I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE $300 FOR REPLACEMENT. ONLY TO BE TOLD THEIR OFFER TO PAY/COVER MALFUNCTION ERRORS WAS NO LONGER ON THE TABLE, GIVING NO REASON WHY OFFER WAS REVOKED! THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER AND HER MANAGER THEN VERY RUDELY & DISRESPECTFULLY HUNG UP THE PHONE! I FEEL UNSAFE EVERYTIME BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR! PLEASE AID IN ESTABLISHING A RECALL

2017 HONDA CIVIC EX HATCHBACK. 22371 MILES. RT. FRT. PASS. AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT DUE TO " SMART DESIGN ". PER HONDA DEALER, SEAT SENSOR IS NOT DETECTING WEIGHT THRESHOLD WHEN ANYONE SITS WHO ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH. MY WIFE IS 5' 4" & APPROX. 117 LBS. I AM 5' 5" & APPROX. 115 LBS. NEITHER ONE OF US CAN SIT & TURN OFF SRS OFF WARNING. ALSO PER DEALER THIS IS A SAFETY DESIGN AS IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE FORCE CAN INJURE OR WORSE THE PERSON SITTING THERE IF NOT OF CORRECT WEIGHT. MY WIFE WILL NOT BE PROTECTED AT ANY TIME SHE SITS IN FRONT. DEALER ADVISED THAT SEAT BE MOVED FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE OR HAVE HER SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. ALSO, THE SEAT SIDE AIR BAG AND/OR SIDE CURTAIN SYSTEM SHOULD STILL PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION. OTHERWISE, NO TROUBLE CODE (S) ARE PRESENT & SYSTEM OPERATING NORMALLY & WITHIN DESIGN PARAMETERS. NOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY WIFE BEING UNPROTECTED IN EVENT OF INCIDENT & SHE IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING REQUIRED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT.

POTENTIAL TAKETA RECALL. JULY 14, 2018. I HAD MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE. TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 7 P.M.AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPOT, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE BUMPED THE CURB.THE DRIVERS SIDE CENTER AIRBAG, LOCATED IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. IT EXPLODED! I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD RAMMED INTO MY CAR. WHEN THE AIRBAG BLEW, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD FIRED A COUPLE OF 12 GUAGE SHOTGUNS IN THE VEHICLE.SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS ON FIRE. THE IMPACT FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG WAS NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE TO SAY THE LEAST. BY THE TIME I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT TO EXIT THE CAR, THE SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS SO THICK I COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. MY CHEST AND HAND ARE SORE, BUT NOTHING APPEARS TO BE BROKEN. I LEFT THE VEHICLE WHERE IT WAS PARKED AND HAVE MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIOP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, SO THAT A COMPLETE EVALUATION CAN BE DONE TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT RESULTED FROM THE EXPLODING AIRBAG. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN ON THIS WEBSITE, IT DID NOT COME UP AS BEING ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE ASAP. THANK GOODNESS I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THERE WERE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THAT AIRBAG BLEW!

STARTING ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR AND A HALF OLD AND ONLY HAS 18K MILES ON IT. IT FIRST STARTED AROUND THE FALL LAST YEAR WITH MY CAR REPEATEDLY POPPING THE TRUNK WHEN I WOULD NOT BE NEAR IT AND WOULD COME OUT TO IT IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND FIND MY TRUNK WIDE OPEN. LATER ON I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK POPPING OPEN WOULD FORCE THE CAR ALARM TO GO OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND OCCASIONALLY WOULD LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME THE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT SHOULDN'T CONTINUE (IT HAS CONTINUED AND IN FACT IS HAPPENING AS I TYPE THIS IN MY APARTMENT). THE NEXT ISSUE OCCURRED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE POURING RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. UPON HAVING THIS PROBLEM INSPECTED THE TECHNICIANS DETERMINED IT WAS "FAULTY" WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS AND HAD BOTH REPLACED. THE LATEST ISSUE THAT OCCURRED WAS AS I WAS DRIVING TO PENSACOLA FROM WASHINGTON AND STOPPED OFF AT A REST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE OREGON FOR SOME SLEEP. UPON WAKING UP (3HRS AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF) I DISCOVERED MY CAR WAS DOING SOME GLITCHY THING WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD WHERE IT WAS ACTING LIKE I WAS TURNING IT OFF AND ON. I HAD NOTHING TURNED ON OR PLUGGED IN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAD TOTALLY DISABLED THE CAR.

COMPLETE SAFETY SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE.

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.

AC LINE WAS NEVER CONNECTED FROM THE FACTORY WITH BUILT. CAUSED EXCESSIVE WATER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD AND CAUSED MOLD ON THE CARPET

WHILE DRIVING IN ANY CONDITION WARNING LIGHTS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, TIRE PRESSURE AND BRAKE HOLD ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS AT SPEEDS OVER 45MPH AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES.

2017 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH AND RADIATOR FANS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONER WOULD BLOW OUT HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON REFRIGERANT. THE DEALER TESTED THE VEHICLE FOR LEAKS AND NONE WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY; THEREFORE, WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,700. *TT CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WAS CONTACTED AFTER THIS REPORT WAS COMPLETED. THE SERVICE MANAGER WENT TO THE TOW YARD AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOT A COMPLETE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW PERFORMED TECH (SERVICE MANAGER) COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY CAR DIED/STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. UPDATED 9/26/18*JB

EVERY NOW AND THEN THERE WILL BE BRAKE PROBLE WHILE IM DRIVING CAR WILL STOP IN THE FOR NO REASON.LASTWEEK AS I WAS REVERSING THE CAR HAD AN ERROR STATING ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM AND IT WOULDNT MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF THWN TURN IT BACK ON IT WENT AWAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE ERROR APPEARS AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TURN IT OFF AND WAITED

STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKED AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A ?COLD START?, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNWEST HONDA-MAZDA (1030 NORTH COAST HIGHWAY, NEWPORT, OR 97365, (541) 265-8547) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. *TT UPDATED 9/21/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH MY WINDSHIELD WIPES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THEY STOPPED MID WINDOW AND WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.

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.

FRONT DRIVER WHEEL BEARING. MY CIVICS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 15,000 MILES. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE FACTORY WHEEL BEARING HAD NO GREESE OR LUBERCATION INSIDE OF IT CAUSING IT TO WEAR DOWN PREMATURELY. I HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES FOR HONDA TO ACTUALLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES IT WAS 'ROAD NOISE'. THE WHEEL BEARING WOULD MAKE A LOUD 'BUFFERING' SOUND BETWEEN 30-70MPH. THE NOISE WOULD ALSO GET WORSE WHEN GOING AROUND CORNERS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (GOING ON THE SAME LANE & SIMILAR SPEED AS ANY OTHER CAR) AND SUDDENLY MY BACK-RIGHT TIRE BURSTED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, CALLED TRIPLE A AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ENTIRE RIM OF THE RIMS WAS CRACKED AND TEARED FROM THE INSIDE, BUT THE TIRE ITSELF REMAINED INTACT AND UNPUNCTURED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC BUT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE CLAIMED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN IMPACT GOING OVER A POSSIBLE POTHOLE VS MATERIAL DEFECT OF THE WHEEL, THUS VOIDING THE WARRANTY. SINCE ITS A NEW CAR, I BELIEVE IT SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO CRACK AND BE COMPLETELY TEARED SO EASILY DUE TO A POTHOLE (WHICH IS A VERY COMMON THING TO ENCOUNTER). I FEEL AT RISK DUE TO THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I'M UNCERTAIN OF THE DURABILITY OF THE RIMS MODEL ITSELF. NOT ONLY WAS I DRIVING ON THE SAME LANE AS ANY OTHER CAR, BUT CARS THAT WERE IN FRONT OF ME & BEHIND ME DROVE BY JUST FINE. IF IT WAS SOLELY A POSSIBLE POTHOLE MISHAP, THEN A NEW CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCH A MINOR IMPACT FROM TYPICAL DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA SERVICES SAID THEY COULDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND COULD ONLY STAND BY THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK I'LL FEEL SAFE WITH A CLAIM LIKE THIS UNRESOLVED. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS A 2017 MODEL CAR, MY SAFETY FEELS MORE AT RISK NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DUE TO A COMMON POTHOLE INCIDENT TO COMPLETELY TEAR-APART THE METALLIC RIMS FROM THE INSIDE WHAT THEY CONCLUDED: "IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, THEN REPORT IT AGAIN FOR THIS TO BE ESCALATED". BUT TO ME, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WAIT FOR IT TO EVEN HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN ITS A DANGEROUS RISK TO MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE TO PREVENT IT THAN TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE THEY REPLACE ONE RIM, DOESN'T MEAN IT COULD PREVENT IT IF IT IS AN OVERALL DEFECTED MODEL.

THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL RANDOMLY AND TAKE UP TO A FEW HOURS TO RESTART. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN THE CENTER STACK HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BUTTONS BEING PUSHED BY THEMSELVES. LASTLY, EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE SIGN ON DASHBOARD BUT BRAKE WAS WORKING FINE.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2017 CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT MOVING WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HONDA AND THEY SAW THAT MY SUB WIRING HARNESS WAS CHEWED WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 268.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 28.00 DOLLARS. THIS THEN HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN EXACTLY 2 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND OUT THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. A SPICY TAPE THAT HONDA MAKES THAT CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE WIRING TO RESIST RODENTS I DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE THIS IS.THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE TAPE.. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN GOING ON THE 2ND DAY. THER IS A CLASS ACTION SUITE THAT WAS FILED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. THIS DATES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2010 I WAS TOLD.

"DELAYED SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE" WHEN IN PARK POSITION, I SHIFT THE CAR TO DRIVE, AND THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY IN THE ENGAGEMENT INTO DRIVE; OR WHEN I'M ON A RIDE AND NEED TO PARK AND GO IN REVERSE. I STEP ON THE BREAK AND SHIFT TO REVERSE AND NOTICE IT TAKES ABOUT A SECOND TO A SECOND AND A HALF TO FEEL THAT THE CAR HAS ENGAGED. THE DELAY HAPPENS IF IT'S EITHER COLD IN THE MORNING OR AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE.

2 TIMES STARTUP PROBLEM...BRAKE PROBLEM..PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM..EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM....BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM...POWER STEERING PROBLEM....VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM...HILL START ASSIST PROBLEM... COLLISIONS ASSIST PROBLEM...ALL SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND SYSTEM ERROR

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.

TAKATA RECALL SAFETY COMPONENTS RELATED TO DRIVER SAFETY WHICH IN RELATION RELATES TO DRIVER ASSISTANCE. WHILE DRIVING CARS IN FRONT SENSORS DO NOT PICK UP AND DON'T AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE LANE SHIFTING DOES NOT WORK.

THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING-HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, INCLUDING THE FREEWAY...YET HONDA SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES.

AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING.

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).
