2012 Honda Civic Complaint Log

So on 11/6/19 Silko Honda Raynham, MA worked on my car for recall {campaign recall 19-106 6bd00- 2012 civic cold emissions gas reduction) So ever since this update on my computer I had non stop tightening gas cap which has been replaced with dealer cap did not work, and when the gas cap light goes out then get check emissions light does this non stop between both lights throughout the day everyday, I've had every single thing fixed that says with the code I get from check engine light nothing works but it passes inspection all I can think of is computer update only thing makes since .Also had 3 smoke test to comes back no leaks. the code I get is this P0497,p145c it has 7 things to do to resolve code which are 1)reconnection of hoses 2)wiring replacement 3)vacuum 4)charcoal canister replacement 5)canister purge valve replacement 6)gas cap replacement 7)clearing of codes and retesting with scan tool to ensure the problem is fixed. IVE DONE ALL AND STILL HAPPENING!! VIN # [XXX] 2012 Honda civic LX Mileage is at -99,535 [XXX] Cell # [XXX] “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I HAVE A 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX, IT HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. IT OCCURRED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO URBAN AREA. JUST THIS MORNING, IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES AND SPEEDS UP WITHOUT STEPPING THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY THE BRAKES RESPONDED TO SLOW DOWN. I CAME OUT OF THE HIGHWAY, AND I HAD TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT BUT STILL IT WAS A CONSTANT FIGHT ACCELERATION BY ITSELF AND STEPPING ON THE BRAKE UNTIL THE CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY.

THE DISPLAY WHICH SHOWS ODOMETER, MPG, ETC FLASHES ON AND OFF. WHEN LOW ON GAS, THE DISPLAY CONTINUALLY BEEPS AND ADVISES YOU ARE LOW ON GAS, INSTEAD OF ONE TIME WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE. REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY, NOW BROKEN AGAIN, PART # 78260-TR2-A11RM

MY ELDERLY MOTHER HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON HER 2012 HONDA CIVIC 4-DOOR LX SEDAN. SHE KEEPS GETTING THE 'CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM' WARNING LAMP ON DASH. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS TWO NEW START BATTERIES HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND A CHECK OF THE ALTERNATOR CHARGING SYSTEM LAST TIME INDICATED THE ALTERNATOR WAS GOOD. HERE'S THE UNDERLYING ISSUE...THE CABLING FROM BATTERY TO MULTIPLE LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN NON-STOPPED CHEWED ON BY RODENTS! HAS HONDA PRODUCED THESE MODEL CARS WITH SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL CABLE INSULATION MATERIAL THAT RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TOO? HONDA SHOULD REPLACE ANY AND OR ALL DAMAGED ELECTRICAL CABLES! THIS IS TERRIBLE WHAT MY MOM IS GOING THROUGH AND THE DEALER (WALDORF MARYLAND HONDA) JUST WANTS TO STALL AND TRY TO 'PATCH' UP SOME OF THE CHEWED CABLES, ALL WHILE DOING A HORRIFIC JOB WITH SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL TAPE!!!! COME ON NOW HONDA IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT CUSTOMERS???? ELDERLY CUSTOMERS THAT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS? SHAME ON YOU!

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY IN A RURAL AREA, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION SUSTAINING FRONT IMPACT CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WITH SUCH IMPACT TO THE FRONT END, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE OR ARE INTENDED TO.

MY AIRBAG LIGHTS LITERALLY GO ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING. I AM NOT SURE WHAT BRAND AIR BAGS ARE IN MY CAR, THEY COULD BE THE TAKATA RECALLED PART, BUT NOT SURE. WHENEVER I HAVE SOMETHING IN THE FRONT SEAT, OR A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON. THEY WILL COME ON AND GO OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY, ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH SPORT HONDA (3110 AUTOMOBILE BLVD, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904, (301) 890-4700), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

JUST AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINS, DAUGHTER GOT INTO CAR AFTER CLASSES AND COULDN'T STEER CAR IN PARKING LOT. NOTICED CHECK POWER STEERING LIGHT ON. DAD CAME TO TAKE HER HOME SINCE NOT DRIVABLE. RESEARCHED ISSUE AND NOTICED TROUBLES WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WENT BACK TO CAR NEXT AM PREPARED TO HAVE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND PROBLEM WAS GONE. DROVE CAR HOME SINCE DIDN'T WANT DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT. TOOK TO LOCAL HI DA DEALER SERVICE AND SAID NO ISSUES WITH STEERING BUT NEEDED REPLACEMENT AIRBACN FOR $1200! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. WE ALSO HAVE A HONDA MINIVAN (SECOND ONE) THAT HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES RECENTLY.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2012 HONDA CIVIC WHICH SERIOUSLY IS A NIGHTMARE IN REPAIRS A LOT OF MAINTENANCE ISSUES INVOLVING ELECTRICAL AS WELL AS THE CAR LACKING POWER AND THE CAR NEEDING TO REPLACE ELECTRICAL HARNESS DUE TO THE WIRES BING WRAPPED IN SOME KIND OF SWEET TEXTURE THAT RODENTS SEEMED TO ENJOY TO MUCH. FURTHERMORE WITH THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WE HAD WITH HIS CAR AT 66100 MILES I WOULD MUCH RATHER GO BACK TO MY 95 HONDA CIVIC 92 HONDA CIVIC OR 93 HONDA CIVIC DEL SOL ANY OTHER DAY THAN THIS JUNG WHAT KIND OF CAR NEEDS AN UPDATE FOR ITS DIAGNOSTICS TO WORK SERIOUSLY. WHAT IS IT IRON MAN NEEDING A CHARGE THIS CAR IS JUNK THE BATTERY DON'T LAST THAT LONG AND FURTHERMORE WHEN THEY DECIDE TO RECALL THIS BATTERY WHAT IS VEHICLE YOU CAN GLADLY TAKE YOUR JALOPY BACK... DON'T BUY A HONDA UNLESS YOU WANT TO WISH TO BUY NEW LIKE WE DID AND THROW THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO YOUR VEHICLE TO HAVE IT RUN LIKE JUNK. TOYOTA CAMRY OR COROLLA HERE I COME... BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE RESALE VALUE SUCKS AND SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE VEHICLE THE GAS MILEAGE IS NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU SHOULD CLAIM IT TO BE ESPECIALLY FOR ECOBOOST MOTOR SO YEAH SAD THING IS MY FAMILY HAS BOUGHT THREE HONDAS AND THIS IS THE LAST TIME THEY SEE ANY OF OUR RETIREMENT THIS CAR IS SERIOUSLY JUNK YOU CAN GLADLY TAKE MY BACK EVEN IF YOU DON'T RECALL IT ALL RIGHTS CAN SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN CONFETTI US ARMY RANGER....

PASSENGER AIRBAG NEVER DETECTS WHEN MY SON OR ANOTHER PRETEEN CLOSE TO HIS AGE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IT ALWAYS TURNS OFF/ DEACTIVATES. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND PROVIDE SAFETY FOR MY CHILD OR HIS COUSINS WHEN INSIDE MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL LIGHT CAME ON AND BELLS WERE MAKING A NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE EPS INDICATOR ALERTED THE CONTACT TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING ABILITY WHEN MANEUVERING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CLINTON HONDA (1511 US-22, ANNANDALE, NJ 08801, 908-735-0800, (908) 238-3933) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO EPS RECALL TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE EPS CONTROL UNIT AND UPDATED THE DTC 33-01FET (A SWITCH WITHIN THE STEERING RACK). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V548000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,859.

LA LUZ DE :CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM,SE ESTA ENCENDIENDO CUANDO EL CARRO SE PRENDE Y NO SE APAGA.

ON JULY 7, 2019 I WENT OUT STARTED MY CAR AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY WHEEL TO GET OUT MY PARKING SPACE THE WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN IT WAS LOCKED THEN THE DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE SAYING CHECK POWER SYSTEM STEERING. THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WAS MONDAY I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP, THE TOW DRIVER HAD A VERY HARD TIME TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE DUE TO THE WHEELS LOCKING UP, YET BY THE TIME MY CAR ARRIVED AT THE SHOP THE STEERING WAS BACK. I NOW HAVE A CAR I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE, CAN'T IMAGINE DRIVING AND LOSING THE POWER TO STEER.

THE HONDA TECHNICIAN AT MANLY HONDA, SANTA ROSA, CA, SAID THAT THERE IS A FAULT IN THE ANTI-THEFT SECTION, CAUSING THE CHARGING SYSTEM TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, SUCH THAT THE CAR CANNOT START AFTER A FEW HOURS OF NOT DRIVING. HE SAID THEY WERE INCAPABLE OF FIXING IT. THIS ISSUE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD.

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON

PAINT IS PEELING WHERE THE REAR WINDOW MEETS THE ROOF. JUST NOTICED, NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING.

SHUTTER WHEN GOING 25 TO 35

EPS CONTROLLER UNIT NEED TO BE REPLACED. POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND STEERING IS HARD. IF TURN VEHICLE OFF THAN BACK ON AGAIN, LIGHT GOES AWAY AND STEERING IS BACK TO NORMAL

CHECK POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYS ON DASH, WOULD GO AWAY AND COME BACK, STEERING LOSS DURING DRIVING. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED $130 TO DIAGNOSE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO FAULTY SOFTWARE.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL CIVIC SHOULD RECEIVE THE SOFTWARE UPDATED AS A PART OF A RECALL AND NOT MAKE THE OWNER PAY TO FIX BUGGY SOFTWARE.

THERE IS A HOLE IN REAR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. BROUGHT THIS UP TO HONDA AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO THINK IT'S AN ISSUE I DON'T THINK I WANNA FIND OUT IF IT WILL BE AN ISSUE THIS HOLE WAS NOT THERE BEFORE AND IT JUST HAPPENED THRU NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. HONDA TELLING ME TO FIX IT ON MY OWN

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, GOING STRAIGHT AND SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS IMPACTED ON THE FRONT, HITTING THE OTHER DRIVER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I SUFFERED SEVERE BURNS TO MY WRISTS AND BICEPS.

MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 45 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE LOST STEERING CONTROL. SHE PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR AND SAT FOR 15 MINUTES. THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WORKED SHE DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER 5 MINUTES AND IT DID THE SAME THING TO HER AGAIN. IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A CURVE WHEN THIS HAPPEN SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TURN THE CAR AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURED

ON APRIL 1, 2019 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AT AN INTERSECTION ON CITY STREETS AND THE AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND I AM HA ING A LOT OF PAIN IN STERNUM AND RIBS. SHOULDN'T THE DRIVER AIRBAG HAVE DEPLOYED? THE CAR IS PROBABLY TOTALED. I AM WAITING FOR INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO INSPECT IT.

"CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" - PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NO LONGER WORKING, DISABLING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM

THERE IS A LEAK FROM MY GAS TANK. CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION. TOOK TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC RAN AND THERE IS NO RAMAGE, RUST, RODANT CHEWING, OR PUNCTURE. IT IS LEAK FROM THE TANK/ WHERE THE CONNECTOR VALVE IS. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY FROM THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL 3 PM ON FRIDAY IN MY PARKING SPOT BEHIND THE HOUSE. GOING OUT OT MY CAR I TURNED IT ON, FINISHED PUTTING MY THINGS IN THE TRUNK. PRECEDED TO GET INTO THE CAR AND I SMELLED GAS EVEN STRONGER. I ALMOST DROVE OFF BUT THE SMELL WAS OVERPOWERING I WAS AFRAID. I DECIDED TO TURN CAR OFF AND STEP AWAY 4 FEET WHERE I STILL COULD SMELL GAS. I SAW IT LEAKING. IT WAS TAKEN AWAY BY A TOW TRUCK.

ON 3/15/2019 I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE MALFUNCTION, IMA BATTERY, CHARGING MALFUNCTION). THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THERE, THEY DETERMINE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO RODENTS CHEWING FROM WIRES WHICH DAMAGED THE FUEL LINE AND IMA SYSTEM. AFTER THIS WAS REPAIRED, THE CAR STILL HAD FAILURE CODES DUE TO MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR'S SYSTEM. TROUBLESHOOTING LED THE TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THAT THE MOTOR POWER INVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS REQUIRED THEM TO ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE JUNCTION BOARD. AFTER THEY WERE INSTALLED, THE IMA LIGHT STAYED ON, THE BATTERY WOULD NOT CHARGE, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO RECODE. THEY HAD TO PUT IN A TEST MCM AND A SECOND MPI (SINCE THE FIRST ONE MALFUNCTIONED AS WELL). THIS OCCURRED OVER THE COURSE OF ALMOST TWO MONTHS. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE A SPECIFIC CAUSE THAT LED TO THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, SO IT APPEARED TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIRS AS WELL AS ALMOST TWO MONTHS OF RENTAL CAR FEES. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR TWO REPAIRS RELATED TO RODENTS CHEWING THROUGH ELECTRICAL WIRING. ONE WAS FOR CHEWING THROUGH FUEL HARNESS AND FUEL PUMP WIRES RESULTING IN REPAIRS THAT COST $915 AND OCCURRED ON 9/5/2018. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHEN MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I MADE IT HOME THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS FROM CHEWING THROUGH GAS LINE AND IMA INVERTER THAT COST $1701 AND OCCURRED ON 3/15/19. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE MALFUNCTION, IMA BATTERY, CHARGING MALFUNCTION). I DROVE HOME AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO HONDA, THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. I DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES AND GOT ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR AND THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. I GOT OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I BEGAN TO PULL OVER BUT THEN REGAINED THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND LUCKILY MADE IT HOME. FUEL WAS POURING FROM UNDER THE CAR SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW FUEL LINE, NEW IMA SYSTEM AS WELL AS JUNCTION BOX. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS, DURING WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS COMMON FOR CHEWING THROUGH WIRING OF THIS SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL HONDA BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WRAPPING AROUND THE WIRES WAS MADE FROM A SOYBEAN PRODUCT, WHICH RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO. *TR

CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE POPS UP WHILE CAR IS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD A SHORT SHORT DISTANCE. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND I AM AFRAID IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

THE ODOMETER (MILE COUNTER), THE MILES PER GALN COUNTER CEASED WORKING. LOOKS LIKE A SOFTWARE FAILURE.

FOR QUITE A FEW THOUSAND MILES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN A PERSON OR BAG IS IN TE SEAT. IT'S COMES ON AND OFF, IT IS VERY UNAETTLING

THE PROBLEM IS ON TOP OF THE CAR AROUND REAR WINDSHIELD. THE PAIN IS GONE DURING A COUPLE MONTHS. IT IS WHITE RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND SAID THE CONTROL UNIT WAS WORKING OKAY. THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY CAR AFTER IT BEING FIXED, I LOSE POWER STEERING AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND IT WAS FINE. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO BE CHECKED.

FADING PAINT ON HOOD, ROOF, AND TRUCK OF THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY HAVE I SEEN THE FADING OF PAINT ON MY CAR, BUT ON MANY MANY OTHER VEHICLES THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE HONDA DID A VERY POOR PAINT JOB ON THESE VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHECKERED FLAG HONDA (6541 E VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, NORFOLK, VA 23502 (757) 490-1111), BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE CAUSING ME TO STOP THE CAR ABRUBETLY. LUCKILY I WASN`T HIT AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR NEARLY 37 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. OTHER OWNERS OF 2012 HONDA CIVICS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND TAKING MY COMPLAINT.

CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GWINNETT PLACE HONDA (3325 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH, GA 30096, (678) 274-6206) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,312.

ON OCT. 24 AND 25, 2018, A MESSAGE "AIRBAG SYSTEM" SUDDENLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. ON OCT. 25, 2018, I TOOK THE CAR TO ROBERTSON HONDA WERE THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I WAS ASKED IF MY CAR WAS EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND I SAID NO. HE INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. WHEN I PROTESTED, HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK WITH HIS SUPERVISOR AND WHEN HE CAME BACK HE SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $90.00. I DIDN'T TAMPER WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SO HONDA SHOULD ABSORB THE COSTS,. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF RECALL, AND THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE SAID AMOUNT. ARE THEY RIGHT?

CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM

CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO START WITHOUT A JUMP FOR MONTHS. GOT 2 NEW BATTERIES. 3 NEW ALTERNATORS. KEPT HAPPENING. NOW I MUST KEEP HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL TIMES, EVEN IN THE BRIGHTEST DAYLIGHT, OR ELSE BATTERY WILL BEGIN TO LOSE CHARGE AGAIN.

CAR CLEAR COAT IS COMING OFF ON THE TRUNK AND ROOF IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. IN AREAS WHERE THE CLEAR COAT IS GONE, THE PAINT IS NOW COMING OFF. VEHICLE IS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC PURCHASED NEW IN 2011. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED IN 2018 APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY EXPIRED. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR COSTS AND SAID THERE WAS NO KNOWN PAINT DEFECT FOR MY VEHICLE YEAR/MODEL. THE PAINT IS DEGRADING AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 7 YEARS OLD. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER HONDA'S AND NEVER HAD A PAINT ISSUE. THE NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND FACEBOOK GROUPS DEDICATED TO HONDA PAINT PROBLEMS SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HONDA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ADDRESS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN FLORIDA AND WAS PREVIOUSLY IN ILLINOIS AND MARYLAND. THE CAR WAS TYPICALLY WASHED ONCE A MONTH AT A CAR WASH OR BY HAND AND WAXED AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED, I NO LONGER WASH THE EXTERIOR SINCE THAT EXACERBATES THE PAINT DEGRADATION.

I BELIEVE IT IS THE MOTOR MOUNT CAUSING THE VIBRATIONS WHEN I START THE CAR AND BACK UP. THE VIBRATIONS STOP WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. NO MORE VIBRATIONS UNTIL NEXT DAY AND PROBLEM RESUMES. CAR ONLY HAS 28808 MILES.

FUEL LINE FAILURE ABOVE THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL LINE HAS A CUT WHICH ALLOWED GAS TO POUR OUT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR PROBLEM INCLUDING FATALITIES.

OUT OF BLUE AIRBAG OF MY HONDA CIVIC DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR 25 MPH. AND AIRBAG SUDDENLY POPPED OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CARS OF AIKEN (550 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WARRENVILLE, SC 29851, (803) 663-3636) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING , OR ONCE I TURN THE CAR ON THE CHECK AIRBAG WORDS COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD, IT COMES UP OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE LAST HONDA CIVIC I OWNED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2012 IS HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM COVERED UNDER A "HONDA SERVICE BULLITIN 14-058". THE "CHECK POWER STEERING ALERT" APPEARS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND GOES OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE NOT LOSING POWER STEERING ASSIST, SO FAR). HONDA DEALER SUGGESTS SERVICING WHEN CAR ACTUALLY LOSES STEERING POWER.

AT 70,000 MILES MY "VSA ALERT" AND "CHECK STEERING ALERT" HAS BEEN FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. HONDA SERVICE "CLAIMS THEY NEVER SAW SUCH A COMPLAINT" BUT LAST WEEK HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON 130,000 HONDA VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE FIX COULD RUN OVER $2,000.00 . THIS ALERT FLASHES AND BEEPS, ANNOYINGLY, WHILE AUTO IS STATIONARY AND MOVING, IT FLASHES CONSTANTLY NOW FOR THE LAST 7,000.
