2010 Honda Civic Complaint Log

THE INTERIOR PASSENGER SIDE IS LEAKING RAIN WATER FROM THE ROOF OR SIDE AIR BAG AREA. *TR

THE SUN VISOR HAS SPLIT OPEN AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE UP AGAINST THE HEAD LINER CREATING A VISUAL OBSTRUCTION. I HAVE READ ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT RELATED TO VISORS THAT INCLUDES THE 2009 CIVIC, BUT NOT THE 2010 MODEL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR LIKE EVERY DAY. BUT EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE I HEARD THE SOUND (METALLIC). I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER. AFTER INSPECTION THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ROTOR WAS DETERIORATED AND THE FRONT PAD IS DAMAGED. I HAVE TO DO THE SERVICING AND ITS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. SO HONDA WILL NOT PAY ANYTHING! I PAID $289.26 FROM MY POCKET TO DO THE ROTOR RESURFACING AND REPLACE TWO FRONT BRAKE PAD OF MY NEW HONDA CIVIC. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? I HAVE THE RECEIPT WITH ME. AFTER SERVICING I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THIS TIME THE SERVICE ADVISER DID THE B*** S*** WITH ME. I TOLD HIM TO DRIVE MY CAR. AFTER DRIVING MY CAR HE UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. SO HE TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE CENTER AGAIN AND AFTER 10 MINUTES HE CAME BACK TO ME. HE TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE SCREW WAS BROKEN, THEY REPLACED IT. I WAS SHOCKED!!! I TOLD THEM THAT THEY MISGUIDED ME AND IT COST ME AROUND 300 BUCKS. BUT THE SERVICE ADVISER REFUSED TO AGREE THE TRUTH...THIS IS CRAZY. WHY DO THEY REPLACE MY NEW CIVIC BRAKE FRONT PAD AND ALSO DO THE RESURFACING OF THE ROTOR??...IS THIS CALLED SERVICE...I WANT MY MONEY BACK...FIRST QUESTION IS WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THE RESURFACING OF ROTOR FOR ONLY 18K MILEAGE CAR?? AND SECOND QUESTION IS..IF IT WAS DONE BY MISTAKE..THEN WHY THEY TOOK MY MONEY!!THIS IS ALL CRAZY. *JS

AT 18,000 MILES THE 2010 CIVIC EX BEGAN TO "GROWL" STARTING AT 57MPH. THE RIGHT REAL WHEEL WAS ALSO MUCH HOTTER THAN THE OTHER THREE WHEELS AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE EACH WEEK, TO THE POINT I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE STUCK, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE "SLIDES", AND THAT THEY "ADJUSTED" THEM. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT BOTH BACK TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE "CORDS WERE TORN". AFTER PAYING THE DEALER OVER $360 FOR TIRES AND ADJUSTMENTS, I M FINDING THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS RANDOMLY GET VERY HOT AND SMELL HOT, TO THE POINT OTHERS CAN SMELL IT AS WELL. WHILE THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA REP, THEY SAY THAT THERE ARE NO KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH HONDA CIVIC BRAKES. WHICH SEEMS ODD WHEN THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST HONDA FOR CIVIC BRAKE ISSUES. I AM WRITING THIS NOTE TO YOU SO OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS CAN BE MADE AWARE. I HAVE OWNED 3 CIVICS AND 1 PILOT AND NOT HAD ISSUES UNTIL PURCHASING THIS BRAND NEW 2010 CIVIC EX IN FEBRUARY OF 2010. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN WINTERS, AND ONLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE OF STICKING BRAKE CALIPERS, AND CORRECT IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS FLIPPED AND ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE LANDING ON A GRASSY FIELD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FURTHER ASSESS THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,004.

I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2010 CIVIC, ONLY 15,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD CARS PRIOR TO THIS ONE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS! *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES AFTER 17000 MILES, *TR

I HAVE REPLACED MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR 3 TIMES BECAUSE EACH TIME IT BREAKS. THE FIRST TIME IT BROKE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. THE THIRD TIME MY BROTHER BOUGHT THE VISOR AND INSTALLED IT FOR ME. I HAVE NOT REPLACED IT AGAIN AFTER SEEING THAT THESE VISORS SIMPLY WILL NOT LAST. I OBVIOUSLY TRIED BEING MORE CAREFUL AFTER SEEING THAT USING THE VISOR WOULD BREAK IT. THE SECOND AND THIRD IT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED USING IT AFTER I GOT IN THE CAR, THE FIRST TIME HOWEVER, IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HEAT, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH OTHER VEHICLES. THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IT IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT. *JS

THE VISOR HAS SPLIT APART AND WON'T STAY UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE SIMPLY BY PULLING IT DOWN TO SHIELD THE SUN. BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAD BEEN REPLACED ALREADY, SO THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. ONCE IT BROKE, IT JUST HANG THERE. SINCE IT DOES NOT STAY UP OR DOWN, IT PARTIALLY BLOCKS THE VIEW OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. YOU CAN NOT MOVE IT TO THE SIDE EITHER, ONCE IT BROKE OPEN. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS HONDA SIMPLY WILL REPLACE THE SAME POORLY-DESIGNED SUN VISOR WITH ANOTHER ONE, IT IS GOING TO BREAK AGAIN. THE REASON WHY I POINT THIS OUT BECAUSE THIS WILL BE MY THIRD ONE!!! *TR

NEED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS - TOTALLY DESTROYED WITH ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING AND LESS MILEAGE THAN ANY OTHER CAR EVER OWNED. $466.57 WITH NO WARRANTY. LUDICROUS THAT THIS WOULD OCCUR AT THIS MILEAGE. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH NO WARNING. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS WAITING IN LINE AT A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU LANE, STEAM WAS NOTICED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY PARKED. A QUICK INSPECTION SHOWED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO BE EXTREMELY CLEAN. A SMALL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WAS NOTICED ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOOD AND NEXT TO THE AC COMPRESSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE AGENCY AND LEFT OVERNIGHT. WHEN I CALLED THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS FAILING AND THAT THEY RECOMMENDED TO HAVE THE COMPRESSOR REPLACED FOR $995. AFTER STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THEN TWO YEARS OLD AND INQUIRING IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER CIVICS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I WAS TOLD THAT A 2006 MODEL WAS BROUGHT IN WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I CALLED SOME LOCAL PARTS STORES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT STOCKED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED BECAUSE THE MODEL YEAR WAS STILL NEW. THE FINAL REPAIR WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE AC COMPRESSOR AND AC RELAY FOR A DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $824.60 OUCH! *TR

SQUEALING NOISE COMES AND GOES. MONTHS LATER IT RETURNED AND LASTED FOR LONGER INTERVALS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. ALL DRIVING IS DONE LOCALLY. HAVE BEEN A LONG-TIME OWNER OF HONDAS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A "USUAL" ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY A POORLY MADE VEHICLE. *TR

HONDA CIVIC LX 2010. FEW DAYS AGO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THAT'S VERY STRANGE CONSIDERING MY CAR HAS ONLY 20,100 MILES. IN ADDITION, I AM A PERSON WHO TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR (OIL CHANGE, TIRES, FLUIDS, EVERYTHING) AND MOREOVER IF THE VEHICLE IS LEASED. UNFORTUNATELY BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAID FOR THEM. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM BRAMAN HONDA TO PROVE WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! EVERY 3 MONTHS I HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR TO THE DEALER WITH SOME NEW PROBLEMS AND PAY BETWEEN $150-350!! THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT WE (THE CONSUMERS) SHOULDN'T BEING PAYING FOR! DO SOMETHING!! *TR

PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR. FRONT BRAKES EXHIBITED SQUEALING AFTER 15,000 MILES. REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR BRAKE PADS WAS REQUIRED: APPROXIMATELY 1/16 TH INCH WAS REMAINING ON EACH OF THE OEM BRAKE PADS. *JS

I HEARD A SQUEALING METAL ON METAL NOISE ON MY HONDA CIVIC, AND SO TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT SERVICED - THE MECHANIC WHO HELPED ME TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY BE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DISCOVERED THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED REPLACING --- AT 19,800 MILES. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER THE "WEAR AND TEAR" CLAUSE OF THE WARRANTY --- BUT THE BRAKES FAILED AT 19,800 MILES. UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE COLD HEARTED, THE OPERATOR WAS CLEARLY IN INDIA AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE - I WILL NEVER OWN A HONDA AGAIN. *TR

THE WEIRDEST ACCIDENT I HAD JANUARY 8TH, 2012, AROUND 4:45 PM WITH MY HONDA CIVIC, I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS ADDRESSED TO HONDA DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. IT IS WHEN I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT, OUT FROM THE PARKING LOT OF A MEGA-STORE, ONE OF THE KEYS IN MY KEY CHAIN ACCIDENTALLY GOT TRAPPED IN A HOLE AT THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE WHOLE IS NOT COVERED. THE TRAPPED KEY CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE LOCKED IN THE RIGHT TURN POSITION, DESPITE MY EFFORTS TO TURN IT BACK TO THE LEFT. I... WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND FOR THOSE MOMENTS "WHAT IS GOING ON". THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, FORTUNATE ENOUGH, I HIT THE BRAKES AND MY FRONT BUMPER GOT SCRATCHED AND INDENTED HITTING THE SIDEWALK; FORTUNATE ENOUGH, NO ONE WAS ON THE SIDEWALK OF THE STREET AND NO CAR WAS BEHIND ME. FORTUNATE ENOUGH, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGH WAY, DRIVING 65 MILES/HOUR. MY LOSSES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED ARE THE CIVIC KEY AND THE TRAPPED KEY (IT WAS MY OTHER ODYSSEY KEY) BOTH ARE DAMAGED AND NEED REPLACEMENT, AND FIXING THE FRONT BUMPER. I WONDER, WHAT WOULD BE THE SITUATION IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE HIGH WAY? I THINK IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE WRITING THE CONCERNS OR FILING DAMAGE REPORT WITH PERFECTION HONDA AND MY LIFE INSURANCE. THE HONDA DEALER FEELS THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED, THE AMERICAN HONDA CASE ANALYST DOSE NOT HAVE ANY OPINION, AND FEELS SYMPATHY FOR ME!!! WHAT A WRONG RESPONSE, WHEN IT COMES TO A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH ARIZONIAN SILVER EDITION PLUS TIRES, SIZE: 205/55R16 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES HYDROPLANED AT ANY SPEED IN THE RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE HIGHLY RATED AGAINST HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, BUT NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

- PREMATURE BRAKE WARE 40 THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR AND THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE CHANGED THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME, CHECKED IN FEB 14, 2012 AND DEEMED FINE. - REAR WHEEL WOBBLE - PASSENGER WINDOW GLASS SHAKES WHEN WINDOW DOWN - DOOR UNLOCK MAKES SCREECHING NOISE WHEN UNLOCKED - CAR WHINES WHEN STARTED. *TR

TODAY, MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE - 26000 MILES. AT FIRST I WAS SHOCKED. NOW, I AM DEEPLY DISTURBED BECAUSE TODAY, I LEARNED OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA REGARDING BRAKE ISSUES IN 2008, 2009 AND 2010 HONDA CIVICS. SERVICE REP AT HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR INDICATED THAT BRAKES HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON HONDA ACCORDS IN THE PAST, SO MUCH SO, THAT HONDA DID COME OUT WITH AN IMPROVED BRAKE PAD FOR THE ACCORD. I UNDERSTAND THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAD BEEN INITIATED DUE TO THE ACCORD PROBLEM AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH RESPECT TO THE CIVIC. HONDA IS FACED WITH A VERY SERIOUS, WIDESPREAD SAFETY PROBLEM ON 2010 CIVICS DUE TO PROBLEMATIC BRAKES. LET'S HOPE THEY STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS. OUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THEIR INTEGRITY. *TR

THE PAST TWO MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCE HEAVY VIBRATION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE I ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE REAR. I WAS INFORMED THE TIRES ARE SEVERLY WORN, IN COMPARISON TO THE FRONT. THE TIRES WERE NEW WHEN WE PURCHASE THE CAR 6 MONTHS AGO. *TT

THE SUN VISOR ON MY 2010 CIVIC IS BROKEN. THE GLUE HOLDING TOGETHER THE PLASTIC MOLDING AND THE FABRIC WITHIN THE VISOR HAS DETERIORATED WHICH MAKES THE VISOR NOT ABLE TO CLOSE PROPERLY AND CONTINUOUSLY FALL DOWN. I HAVE FOUND INFO ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA IN 2011 FOR MOST CIVICS BETWEEN 2006-2009 HOWEVER SINCE MINE IS A 2010 IT DOES NOT FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY. YET IS DOES SEEM AS THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED PROPERLY. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE ATTORNEY WHO HANDLED THE SUIT AGAINST HONDA AND IT WAS SUGGESTED I FILE A COMPLAINT HERE TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN EXPAND THE CLASS WITHIN THE LAWSUIT. *TR

PURCHASED CAR NEW FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP. FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 15000 ALONG WITH A FAULTY CALIPER, THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN IN APPROXIMATELY 30000 MILES (6 MONTHS LATER). NOW THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS COMPLETELY OFF AT JUST AROUND JUST OVER 34000 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR VEHICLE AS WELL AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF CALIFORNIA. DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE VERY WELL COULD BE A LINK BETWEEN THE ALIGNMENT PROBLEM AND THE BRAKES. *JS

THERE HAVE BEEN THREE (3) FRONT END COLLISIONS ON THIS VEHICLE. 2 WERE DEER RELATED. THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS A DEER HIT, AT 60 MPH., BODY SHOP SAID BECAUSE THE DEER HIT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SECOND ACCIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING 69 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. SHE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET DOWN A DITCH AND BACK UP THE OTHER SIDE, STRIKING AN EMBANKMENT, COMING TO REST 2 FEET FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. THE VIRGINIA STATE POLICE OFFICER SAID AT THE TIME, HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DISENGAGED FROM THE CAR. THE LAST ACCIDENT, JUNE 2013, YOUNGER DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR ACCIDENT. SHE REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF HER WHO HAD REAR ENDED THE CAR AHEAD OF IT. WET ROADS WERE A FACTOR, HOWEVER, THIS WAS AGAIN A FRONT END COLLISION, WITH A SPEED OF 40+ MPH. WHILE WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED IN ANY OF THESE ACCIDENTS, IT'S CERTAIN THE AIRBAG IN THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST (IMA) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED BUT TO NO AVAIL.THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION BY THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BATTERY WAS ON THE VERGE OF FAILING AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY UNTIL IT HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY UNTIL THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE INDICATING THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED REPLACING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400.

THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK TO THE DEALER (MARY SUSSMAN HONDA, ABINGTON, PA) AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A FRONT END BRAKE JOB (PADS, ROTOR POLISHING ETC). TWO DAYS AGO (9/27/12) I HAD TO TAKE TO HAVE MY REAR BEARING REPLACED AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED FRONT BRAKES AGAIN. NOW MILEAGE IS 44,500, SO ONLY ~18,000 MILES FROM LAST REPAIR. I THINK TWO BRAKE JOBS AT 40K MILES IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

I DROVE MY CAR ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 70-79 BY ITSELF WITH MY ABS KICKING IN AT THE SAME TIME. NOT ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE. NEARLY CAUSING A PILE UP, I EXITED IMMEDIATELY TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TO PARK MY CAR. WITH TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME, I PROCEEDED INTO THE LOT, UP A HILL WHEN I COULD FEEL MY CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. WITH MY PASSENGERS IN DISBELIEF, I LIFTED MY RIGHT FOOT IN THE AIR SO THEY COULD SEE, MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 0-21 MPH BY ITSELF, UP A HILL. SCARED OUT OF MY MIND, I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND PARKED IT. I CONTACTED HONDA, TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY "HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE" AND THAT THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME LOOKING INTO SUCH A POSSIBILITY. A COUPLE DAYS LATER AFTER THEY BLAMED THIS ISSUE ON MY "THIRD PARTY FLOOR MATS" AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE THEM OUT OF MY CAR, I DID. I DROVE WITHOUT THE FLOOR MAT FOR TWO WEEKS, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS MY CAR ACTING UP AND NOT THE MATS. SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR ACTED UP 2 MORE TIMES IN THOSE TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNCH OF STOP LIGHTS. I WOULD BRAKE A LITTLE TOO EARLY & ATTEMPT TO COAST IN TRAFFIC TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I'D TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD FULLY ACCELERATE ALL BY ITSELF, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY BRAKES. SECOND OCCURRENCE, WAS WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR, TURNED IT ON, BUT NEVER PUT IT INTO GEAR OR EVEN SHUT MY DOOR, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING WITH RPMS UP IN THE "REDS". MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN A SECOND TIME, THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN BLAMING THESE PROBLEMS ON MY FLOOR MATS AND THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO SERVICE OR TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING AT ALL, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO FURTHER ENFORCE THAT THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE COMPUTERS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

BOUGHT 2010 HONDA CIVC IN THE EARLY PART OF 2010. AT THE END OF THE 2010I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES (OVER $ 200.00). IT IS NOW THE END OF 2011 AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AGAIN. MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 35000 MILES ON IT AND IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. I CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THE BRAKES I BOUGHT IN 2010 WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE BRAKES EMITTED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND ALL OF THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,600. UPDATED 10/11/12*LJ UPDATED 10/15/2012 *JS

BRAKES WEAR OUT TOO FAST: 1ST TIME WAS AT 15000 MILES AND NOT\W NEED AGAIN AT 32000 MILES. I GOOGLED WEBSITE AND FOUND MANY HAS SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR'S BRAKE SYSTEM. THE MAKER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEW, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES TWICE, FIRST AT 8,044 MILES AND JUST RECENTLY AGAIN AT 15,770 MILES. IT IS APPARENT THIS MODEL HAS A PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR THAT HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON MY HONDA A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. NO MATTER WHAT BREAKS I REPLACE THEM WITH THE BRAKES SEAM TO WEAR-OUT VERY FAST. SINCE MY PURCHASE IN 2010 I HAVE REPLACED THE BREAKS ON THE HONDA SEVERAL TIMES (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), IT ALMOST SEAMS TO BE NEEDING REPLACEMENT EVERY YEAR. ALSO SINCE 2013, THE PAINT ON THE CAR SEAMS TO BE PEALING, CRACKING, AND HAS BECAME VERY CLOUDY. I WILL NOT PURCHASE A HONDA AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC THAT I LEASED IN MAY OF 2010. IT IS NOW JANUARY 3, 2013 AND I HAVE CHANGED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES ALREADY. THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WEARING TOO IMMATURELY. *TR

THERE IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS FOR THIS MODEL OF HONDA CIVIC. THE VISOR FALLS APART IN THE MIDDLE, AND THEN WILL NOT STAY UP. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. EITHER THE VISOR IS DOWN BLOCKING SIGHT OF THE ROAD, OR IF YOU HAVE IT RIGGED TO STAY UP THEN YOU HESITATE TO PULL THE VISOR DOWN BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER GET IT TO STAY UP AGAIN SO YOU END UP DRIVING WITH SUN IN YOUR EYES. EACH TIME I GET A REPLACEMENT IT COSTS ME ABOUT $80 OR SO, SO I AVOID THAT TOO. HONDA, PLEASE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!!!! PROBLEM STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES TODAY. OTHER THAN THIS DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM, I LOVE MY CAR.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED. THE VISORS ARE MADE UP OF TWO HORIZONTAL PIECES OF PLASTIC SNAPPED TOGETHER. BOTH VISORS HAVE SEPARATED AND NO LONGER "GRIP" THE VISOR SWING ARM, THE METAL PIECE THAT ATTACHES THE VISOR TO THE CAR AND ALLOWS IT TO BE REPOSITIONED. ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE VISOR RESULTS IN THE TWO PIECES OF THE VISOR SEPARATING FROM EACH OTHER AND THE VISOR BECOMING DISENGAGED; MEANING, IT WILL NO LONGER ALLOW ITSELF TO BE ADJUSTED. IT WILL NO LONGER STAY IN ANY SET POSITION. ALL ATTEMPTS TO PUT IT BACK TO ITS RETRACTED POSITION AGAINST THE HEADLINER WILL RESULT IN IT JUST FALLING BACK DOWN TO THE NEUTRAL VERTICAL POSITION. MY HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE INITIAL FAILED DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR AFTER I COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES AND BEING THAT MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE SAME DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN IT FAILED EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 36 MONTH / 36000 MILE WARRANTY. AT ABOUT 52000 MILES, THE DRIVER'S VISOR THAT WAS REPLACED FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME $90 TO REPLACE EACH SIDE. CURRENTLY WE HAVE PLACARDED BOTH WITH "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL DOWN INOP." MY CIVIC HAS A THROUGH MAINTENANCE HISTORY RECORD AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED BY THE SAME HONDA DEALER. THE DATES AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED BUT WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE BOTH MILEAGE AND DATES WITHIN A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES OR A COUPLE MONTHS USING THE SERVICE RECORDS/NOTES. *TR

TECH AT HONDA SERVICE DEALER FOUND FRONT BRAKE-PAD WEAR AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT ($325 + TAX). I THINK IT IS PREMATURE FOR A 16K MILEAGE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE FOR A FEW MOMENTS WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD UNTIL CRASHING INTO A RAVINE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING YARD. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS CLASSIFIED AS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I LEASED OUR BRAND NEW 2010 HONDA CIVIC ON 05/31/2010. PRIMARILY I USED THE VEHICLE TO COMMUTE FROM/TO WORK. I AM A VERY RESPONSIBLE DRIVER AND TOOK A GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE CHANGING OIL REGULARLY, CHECK LIQUIDS, ETC. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DRY DAY ON 07/28/2011 IN THE LEFT LANE WITH AVERAGE SPEED 40 MPH, THE TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE BRAKES FAILED (DID NOT WORK). I HEARD A METAL SOUND AND PUSHED A PEDAL STRONGER. I THINK THE VEHICLE PROBABLY DID NOT SLOW AT ALL. I TURNED LEFT TO A SHOULDER IN ATTEMPT TO STOP A VEHICLE AND AVOID A DIRECT COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I BELIEVE I COULD GET MUCH WORSE INJURIES IF I HAD NOT DONE THIS TURN. DRIVING IN A SHOULDER I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN MY CAR'S TRAJECTORY AND STOP IT IN A SHOULDER, BUT MY CAR FISHTAILED OUT OF CONTROL, CONSISTENTLY DEVIATING TO THE LEFT WHERE CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER WAS AND DID NOT STOP. VERY LOUD NOISE WAS COMING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE TIME SINCE I APPLIED BRAKES, WHICH PROVE THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. I CONSTANTLY TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN IT UNTIL MY CAR COLLIDED IN TO THE VEHICLE IN THE LEFT LANE. A RESULT OF THIS WAS A FOUR CAR ACCIDENT AND EIGHT BODY INJURIES INCLUDING MYSELF. AND THE WORST PART WAS MY INSURANCE COMPANY CONSIDER IT TO BE MY FAULT!!! I CALLED HONDA SEVERAL TIMES ASKING THEM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR BRAKES INSPECTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. AND IT MOST LIKELY WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH CAN CAUSE MORE ACCIDENTS/INJURIES IN THE FUTURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT A CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THEY ADVISED ME TO HIRE A TOW TRUCK $150 ON MY OWN EXPENSE AND BRING A CAR THERE AND HAVE PAID CHECKUP, WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING BETWEEN $500 AND $2,000. MY CAR WAS 18K MILES WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. BE CAREFUL WITH THAT CAR!!! *JS

CAR WAS MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING BROUGHT CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY STATE AT 7400 MILES FRONT BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THEY SAY IT IS FROM AGGRESSIVE DRIVING THIS IS NUTS THEY WILL NO COVER REPLACEMENT OF PADS AND TELL ME IT IS FROM REAR BRAKES NOT BEING ADJUSTED. *TR

LEAVING NASHVILLE, TN, OUR NEW HONDA CIVIC 2010 REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED, COMPLETELY SHATTERING, BUT REMAINING INTACT. IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW DUE TO THIS. NO FOREIGN OBJECT CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. HONDA SUSPECTS FAULTY GLASS. *KB

MY FRIEND AND I PUT OUR PURSES IN THE TRUNK OF MY HONDA CIVIC 2010 AT A BUSY RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. HONDA HAS AN INTERIOR VALET KEY HOLE TO LOCK THE TRUNK; SO I FEEL SAFE TO LEAVE MY THINGS IN THE TRUNK. THIS KEY HOLE IS AT THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SOMEONE BROKE THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND OPENED THE TRUNK WITH THE VALET TRUNK LATCH LOCKED. I HAVE THE TRUNK ALWAYS VALET KEY LOCKED; SO I WAS SURPRISED SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO POP THE TRUNK. I TOOK MY CAR TO A BODY SHOP PLACE. HE EASILY DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC COVER THAT IS AROUND THE VALET TRUNK KEY LOCK CAN BE REMOVED AND A SMALL LATCH CAN BE MOVED TO THE LEFT AND THE TRUNK OPENS. HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. HE SAID. "I CAN'T TRUST MY THINGS IN THE TRUNK WITH A VALET PERSON, AFTER THIS DISCOVERY." I WAS SHOCKED. I BUY HONDA'S BECAUSE I LIKE THIS FEATURE. I HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS BECAUSE MY IDENTITY WAS STOLEN. THE VALET LOCK ISN'T BROKEN BUT IT IS UNSAFE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, LIKE ME, THAT IT'S NOT SAFE TO LEAVE YOUR BELONGS IN THE TRUNK OF THIS CAR. *TR

I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK JAN OF 2011 NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS AND 11,000 MILES MY BRAKE PADS WERE DONE. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD MY DRIVING WAS THE ISSUE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS NOTHING BUT BULL FROM HONDA. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ONCE AGAIN NOT EVEN ANOTHER 11,000 MY BRAKE PADS ARE DONE AGAIN, THIS TIME I REPLACE THEM MYSELF AND NOTICE THAT BOTH INSIDE BRAKE PADS ARE WORN OUT MORE THEN THE OUTSIDE. THE PADS ARE WEARING OUT UNEVEN THAT'S NOT NORMAL. HONDA SHOULD WARRANTY PADS AND PISTONS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS ARE IN THE DOWN POSITION AND HAVE LOST THEIR MECHANICAL ABILITY TO BE PLACED IN ITS RESTING POSITION AGAINST THE HEADLINER. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IN ITS DOWN POSITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS LIMITED. WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, THIS POSES A SERIOUS DANGER FOR THE DRIVER WHILE OPERATING THE MOTOR VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED THIS CIVIC IN JUNE 2010 AND JUST PUT THE SECOND SET OF PADS ON THIS WEEK. FIRST SET AT 21,000. 19,000 MILES AND ONLY 9 MONTHS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING BETWEEN REPLACEMENT PADS. UNEVEN PREMATURE WEAR ON THE LEFT INNER PAD INDICATING THAT THE PADS ARE REMAINING IN CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. ALSO EXPERIENCING A BURNING SMELL. RIGHT SIDE PADS ARE ALMOST NEW. PERSONAL MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CALIPER AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME. I DID AND IT "WAS NORMAL WEAR". HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SO MANY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS MY 5TH HONDA AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN AS DISAPPOINTED. THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

HONDA CIVIC 2010 WAS PURCHASED NEW. AT THE INITIAL SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE VEHICLE HAD 9,000 MILES. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE CHECKED AT THE REQUEST OF THE OWNER. THE ROTORS WERE FOUND TO BE IN VERY POOR CONDITION AS WERE THE PADS. THE ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND SERVICE APPOINTMENT, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FRONT BRAKES GRABBING, AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD 18,000 MILES. THIS WAS IN DECEMBER, 2011. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER AT WHICH TIME THE FRONT PADS WERE FOUND TO BE IN VERY POOR CONDITION, AND WERE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACE THE BRAKES TWICE AND AT MY OIL CHANGE TODAY THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME IN 2 1/2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AND HONDA HAS ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

PREMATURE WEAROUT OF FRONT BRAKING PADS AND DISCS ON 2010 HONDA CIVIC WITH 22,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS PRIMARILY DRIVEN HIGHWAY MILES AND IS ONLY 12 MONTHS OLD JUST COMING OUT OF IT'S FIRST WINTER. THE RIGHT FRONT HAD A FULLY WORN OUT PAD AND A HALF WORN OUT PAD ALONG WITH HEAT DISTRESS ON THE RF ROTOR INDICATING CALIPER STICKING AND PAD NOT RETRACTING FROM ROTOR. LEFT FRONT PADS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY UNEVEN WEAR ON THE SAME PAD FROM FRONT TO BACK AGAIN INDICATING SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS STICKING. TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY COULD ONLY REPEAT THE WORD "BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY". I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT BRAKE PADS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IF THEY ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND WEAR OUT. IF THEY DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND STICK, OVER HEAT AND DO NOT RETRACT IN THE FIRST YEAR, SOMETHING IS SIGNIFICANTLY WRONG IN THE DESIGN. GM AND FORD HAVE BEEN DESIGNING VERY GOOD BRAKE SYSTEMS THAT LAST 40K 50K OR MORE MILES. WITH THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC, BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT UNEVEN PAD WEAR, A "BRAKE JOB" HAS TO BE PERFORMED AT EVERY THIRD OLD CHANGE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN THAT INVOLVES SAFETY AND THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND GIVEN A FIX. *TR

THE NIGHT LIGHT NEEDS TO BE TURN ON AND IS SO DIM THAT YOU NEED THE HIGH BEAM LIGHT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHICH IS JUST PLAIN BLINDING FOR THE PERSON IN FRONT/ OR COMING TOWARDS ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC LX THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN AUG 2010. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES WHEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND. I CONTACTED HONDA METRO IN JERSEY CITY, NJ. THEY STATED THAT IT IS THE MANNER IN WHICH I DRIVE MY CAR. I DISPUTED THIS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL OVER THE PHONE BC TO CHANGE THE BRAKES AT ONLY 15K MILES IS COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF. I ENDED UP HAVING MY FATHER GO TO HAVE THE ISSUE CHECKED ANYWAY BY THEM. THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKES WERE DIRTY AND NEEDED A CLEANING. WELL SOON AFTER THAT MY BRAKES STARTED DOING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY SPRAYED IT WITH NOISE DAMPENING SPRAY. ANYWAY, I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. BEFORE SOMEONE DIES CAN YOU PLEASE PUSH THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY DO NOTHING!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *TR
