2013 Honda Civic Complaint Log

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A CARD IN SNAIL MAIL THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THIS CARD ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE WEBSITE TO FIND OUT IF MY HONDA CIVIC WAS PART OF THIS SETTLEMENT. AND WHETHER I SHOULD GO TO THE HONDA DEALER TO CHECK IF I NEEDED MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. WHEN I WENT TO THIS WEBSITE IT DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. IT DIDN'T TELL ME IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE SETTLEMENT OR IF I NEEDED TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPAIRED. THIS WEBSITE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE INFORMING ME IF I NEED TO TAKE MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC TO MY DEALER AND HAVE THIS REPAIRED?

FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS

FLASHING AIR BAG LIGHT WITH NO KNOWN ISSUE(S).

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A CITY STREET IN BOCA RATON, FL AT ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR HAD DEPLOYED. MY 15 YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A TURN LANE TO CHECK MY SON FOR INJURIES AND ASSESS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE WAS NO KNOWN CAUSE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT.

TAKATA RECALL CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR WHEN SUDDENLY THE VSA WARMING LIGHT HAS COME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WARNING LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR MY CIVIC FOR ANY INFORMATION. IT SUGGESTED THAT I WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES AND THE RESTART THE CAR. I WAITED FOR 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED MY CAR. BOTH LIGHTS HAD GONE OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE LOCAL CARMAX DEALER, WHERE I'D PURCHASED THIS CAR. THE SERVICE CENTER COULD NOT LOOK AT MY CAR THEN, BUT THE TECHNICIAN SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME FOR THE NEXT MONDAY AND REASSURED ME THAT I WOULD "PROBABLY" BE FINE UNTIL THEN. WHEN THAT DAY CAME I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WOULD NEED TO BE LOOKED AT BY AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER, AUTONATION HONDA, BUT THAT CARMAX WOULD COVER THE COST BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THEIR LIMITED WARRANTY. DAYS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTONATION AND THEY UPDATED THE VEHICLE'S SOFTWARE FOR THE VSA. TODAY, OCTOBER 22, 2017, I WAS DRIVING TO VISIT FAMILY WHEN THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WARNING LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN, I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR 10 MINUTES. DURING THAT TIME I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR BOTH MY CARMAX AND AUTONATION CONTACTS AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, BOTH LIGHTS WERE OFF. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA APPEARS TO HAVE IGNORED THIS ISSUE IN LATER MODEL CARS AND I FEEL THIS IS SEVERELY DANGEROUS!

INTERIOR LIGHT'S ON THE WHOLE DASH BOARD FLASH WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING, STOPPED AT STOP SIGN'S OR RED LIGHT, STOPPED TO MAKE A TURN AND PAINT AROUND WINDSHIELD IS PEELING

'TAKATA RECALL' I RECEIVED A LETTER BY MAIL SAYING THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE 'CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM' WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY IN MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG OR GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE PROVIDED, ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER BUT IT SAID MY CAR WAS NOT EFFECTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MORE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2013 CIVIC MODEL FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS!! SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF IT!!

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION CHECK AIR BAG SENSOR WILL GO OFF. SENSOR WILL STAY ON UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND CAR IS IN PARK. THE SENSOR WILL PERIODICALLY TURN ON AND OFF OVER THE LAST 8MONTHS. WHEN CONTACTING HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR THEY STATED IT NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. I DISAGREE IF MY SENSOR ARE READING CHECK AIRBAGS SOMETHING MUST BE GOING ON.

ALOHA, BOUGHT THIS HONDA CIVIC, HYBRID IN 2013 BRAND NEW AND LOVE IT OVERALL. HAD AN ISSUE WHEN ADJUSTING THE INSIDE MIRROR THAT IT ACTUALLY CAME OFF IN MY HAND WHILE I WAS DRYING ! ..... I DIDN'T FEEL THAT I WAS THAT FORCEFUL IN ADJUSTING THE MIRROR SO WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE IT POP OFF LIKE THAT, AND ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN DOING SO. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WAS ABLE TO POP THE BALL JOINT THINGY BACK INTO PLACE. HMM...... I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THAT BEFORE !! ....... VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WE HAD CALLED THE MAIN HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAINLAND, REPORTED IT, AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER ON IT, AS WELL AS TAKING THE CAR TO THE HILO, HAWAII HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND REPORTING THE ISSUE ! THANKS.

THE OVERHEAD MATERIAL ON THE CEILING IS COMING DOWN AFTER ONLY 4.5 YEARS, AT THE BACK WINDOW AREA,

THE AIR CONDITIONER MOTOR AND RESISTOR IN MY CAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES NOW. EVERY FOUR MONTHS, THE AIR CONDITIONER MAKES SOUNDS, FLUCTUATES IN POWER, AND THEN FINALLY STOPS WORKING ALTOGTHER. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STILL WORK, BUT THE AIR STOPS BLOWING. ONCE MOTOR AND RESISTOR ARE REPLACED, IT WORKS FINE AGAIN - BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS. ALL NEW PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED DIRECTLY THROUGH HONDA. THE DEFROSTER AND HEAT WILL NOT WORK EITHER WHEN THIS PART GOES BAD, WHICH IS DANGEROUS IF DRIVING IN THE RAIN OR IN THE COLD.

CV JOINT NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT - A CLICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHICH MATCHES THE SPEED OF THE WHEELS. THIS CAR IS FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS 12000 MILES ON IT.

IT WAS FINE WHEN I PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE THE NIGHT BEFORE BUT THE NEXT MORNING NONE OF THE FOLLOWING WERE WORKING AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG (THEY WANT TO TRY REPLACING WHOLE CONSOLE FOR $700 AND IF/WHEN THAT DOESN'T WORK TRY REPLACING SOMETHING ELSE FOR $$$): - DASH (AND GEAR SHIFT, ETC.) DOESN'T LIGHT UP WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT - WINDSHIELD DEFOGGERS - SPEEDOMETER (READS "0" WHETHER IN MOTION OR STOPPED) - ODOMETER - WARNING INDICATORS (OVERHEAT, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. EXCEPT "BRAKE" WHICH STILL WORKS, AND THE LITTLE GAS ICON ON THE LEFT CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS WHETHER FULL TANK OR NOT) - GAS GAUGE - GAS MILEAGE - TACHOMETER (A PHYSICAL METER) - AIR CONDITIONER - OIL LIFE LEFT - CRUISE CONTROL - "ECON" MODE BUTTON DOESN'T WORK - NOT SURE IF AIR BAGS WORK - I MAY FIND OUT SOMEDAY - RADIO WORKS/DISPLAYS FINE I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS SOMETIME IN AUGUST 2017.

ON 7/18/17, AT AROUND 8PM ON HIGHWAY 280 SB BY LAWRENCE EXPWY IN SANTA CLARA, CA, I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I HEARD A HUGE BANG. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO REALIZE MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO ROCK OR ANY OTHER PIECE OF MATERIAL IN SIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT THE GLASS EXPLODED BECAUSE OF THE HEAT SINCE IT HAS BEEN HOT AND I RARELY OPEN MY MOONROOF. HAD MY MOONROOF BEEN OPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY GLASS AND INJURED, POSSIBLY CRASHED. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE HOLE IS QUITE BIG, ABOUT 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER, AND THE WHOLE SECTION SEEMS TO BE INCLINED UPWARDS, MAKING ME BELIEVE THAT IT EXPLODED ON IT'S OWN FROM HEAT PRESSURE.

LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 14,000 MILES. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILED AT 53,000 MILES. FAILURES WERE DETERMINED WHILE TRAVEL AT SPEEDS FROM 30 MPH TO 70 MPH AND TURNING RIGHT AND LEFT.

TACATA RECALL I PURCHASED THE 1ST AND PROBABLY ONLY NEW CAR THAT I WILL EVER OWN. I WENT WITH HONDA BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD BE VERY RELIABLE. IMAGINE MY DISMAY WHEN I.GET NOTICE RE:AUTO AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. I AM NOW SCARED TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDSON. I AM SCARED FOR MY OWN SAFETY. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I AM NOW STUCK WITH MY DEFECTIVE AUTO, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. NO COMFORT IN TAKING MY FAMILY ANYWHERE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY THE CAR AUTO-ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT NOR THE HAND-BRAKE. IT ONLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT AGAINST ANOTHER CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS A CERTIFIED HONDA VEHICLE.

DRIVING SOUTH THROUGH SALT LAKE CITY FREEWAY, THE CAB FILLED WITH NOXIOUS RAW GAS FUMES, NO WARNING LAMPS ON THE DASH. PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND INSPECTED ENGINE, TRUNK, INTERIOR AND UNDER THE CAR FOR A GAS LEAK AND FOUND NOTHING. CONTINUED ON OUR WAY AND RETURNED TO CALIFORNIA, HEADING FOR 29 PALMS VIA KELSO, CALIF. WHEN WE GOT FUMES AGAIN ONLY HEAVIER, COMBINED WITH TIGHTEN FUEL CAP WARNING SCREEN ON DASH. AGAIN INSPECTED CAR, REINSTALLED FUEL CAP SEVERAL TIMES. NO LEAKS DETECTED, AIRED OUT CAR AND GOT THE SAME CONDITION EVERY TIME WE GAINED SIGNIFICANT ALTITUDE. THE NEXT DAY WE REPLACED THE FUEL CAP AND SO FAR NO FLAMMABLE FUMES. THANK GOD NEITHER OF US SMOKE.

RODENTS ATE THROUGH WIRING BETWEEN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY. DETERMINED THAT HONDA CHANGED TO SOY BASED MATERIAL TO COAT WIRING ON ALL 2012-2015 CIVIC MODELS. THE SOY BASED FORMULA BECOMES HEATED AND ATTRACTS THE RODENTS WHEN PARKED. THE PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE AND DANGEROUS SINCE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND HARNESSES TO ALL MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS ARE AFFECTED.

I HAVE A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. I BOUGHT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM BROADWAY HONDA, GREENVILLE, SC. IT WENT WELL FOR A YEAR THOUGHT THE ONE YEAR WARRANTY WITH ZERO PROBLEMS. BUT ONCE THE WARRANTY WAS OVER PROBLEMS STARTED TO SHOW UP EVERY OTHER MONTH. DURING THE HARSH WINTER OF MARCH ONE DAY THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AT A WALMART PARKING. I CALLED MY FRIEND AND JUMP STARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THE BATTERY IS ONLY 30%. IN 4 YEARS WITH 53K MILES THE BATTERY WENT BAD AND I REPLACED IT. AND DID A OIL CHANGE AND NYS INSPECTION. 15 DAYS WENT WELL. SUDDENLY ONE DAY MY AIR BAG INDICATOR STARTED TO BLINK WITH A MESSAGE "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM" ON THE SCREEN. I TOOK IT TO A FRIEND'S GARAGE AND HE SUSPECTED IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR THAT HAS AN ERROR. VERY TROUBLED I WENT TO HONDA SERVICE AGAIN. THEY CHARGED $130 JUST FOR SCANNING AND DIAGNOSTICS. THEY CAME BACK SAID THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WENT BAD. I ASKED THEM HOW CAN SOMETHING LIKE A SENSOR GO BAD. BELIEVE ME I ONLY USE MY CAR TO GO TO OFFICE AND ERRANDS. MY WIFE SITS AT THE BACK WITH MY BABY(INFANT). VERY RARELY THE SEAT IS USED. I ASKED THEM HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST AND THEY SAID IT WILL COST ANOTHER $880 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I ALSO WANT HONDA TO KNOW THE PROBLEM AS ONE CAN'T PAY SO MUCH TO REPLACE ONE SENSOR.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 55 IN SOUTH JERSEY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX. 55 MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ENGINE POWER WAS DIMINISHED. WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GET OFF NEARBY EXIT AND DRIVE TO PARKING LOT. VEHICLE ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT UP EXIT RAMP. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS #2 CYLINDER HAD FAILED. CAR ONLY HAD JUST OVER 63,000 MILES ON IT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HONDA EVENTUALLY COVERED 50% ($2,545.30). CAR WAS GARAGED KEPT AND ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH DANGEROUS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE IT ON RECORD IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES WHICH MAY INDICATE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT OCCURRED ON A WELL-MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT CAR AT ONLY 63,000 MILES. I HAVE UPLOADED A COPY OF THE REPAIR ORDER INDICATING WHAT COMPONENTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WARNING INDICATOR RANDOMLY KEPT FLASHING TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT FELT AS IF THEY MISDIAGNOSED PROVIDING A SOLUTION AND REQUIRED THAT BRAKE REPAIRS BE COMPLETED BEFORE SERVICING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE FIRST REPAIR FROM THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR. THE DEALER CLEANED THE REAR BRAKES AND ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES DURING THE FIRST REPAIR. DURING THE SECOND REPAIR, THE DEALER REPLACED AND RESURFACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THE BRAKE FLUID EXCHANGE WAS SERVICED AS WELL. TWO DAYS AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE SERVICE AIR BAGS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE A THIRD TIME AND INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP, BUT THE CONTACT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSE BACK AND NECK PAIN. NO WAY TO ADJUST THE SEAT OF RESTRAINTS ENOUGH TO ALLEVIATE THE DISCOMFORT.

PURCHASED HONDA CERTIFIED USED CIVIC IN 9/2016, CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT STARTED COMING ON RANDOMLY AROUND 2/2017 WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVING. LIGHT WOULD COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, OR SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS (INCLUDING THE ONE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM) MULTIPLE TIMES AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE ISSUE. CHARGING SYSTEM SENSOR AND CABLE REEL HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED, BUT LIGHT CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY COME ON. DEALER IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTINUES TO USE THEIR 'COMPUTER FLOW CHART' TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED!

CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. DEALERSHIP TECH UNABLE TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY EXACT PROBLEM OR COMPONENT UNLESS ALARM STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THEY COULD ONLY PROVIDE BEST EDUCATED GUESS. THEY SUSPECT CABLE REEL IS BAD. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, AIR BAGS APPARENTLY WILL NOT WORK. UNACCEPTABLE. HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED 3 OTHER CIVIC 'S, NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. HONDA SHOULD HAVE A BETTER WAY TO TROUBLESHOOT THE SYSTEM TO DEFINITIVELY IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC DEFECTIVE COMPONENT IN THE SYSTEM. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON CONSTANTLY YESTERDAY AFTER APPROX. A MONTH, BUT RESIDENCE IS 400 MILES FROM PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT SO IT WILL BE A COUPLE DAYS TO GET VEHICLE IN TO DEALERSHIP TO EFFECT REPAIRS. IF THE GOVERNMENT IS REQUIRING THESE SYSTEMS FOR SAFETY, THEN AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THEY SHOULD NEVER FAIL. PERIOD. ANY DEFECT OR PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT ZERO EXPENSE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. I DEFINITELY DO NOT FEEL AS SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT, AND HOPE I DON'T GET INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS SYSTEM NOT WORKING. JUST WANTED TO INFORM IN CASE OTHERS MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE.

THE CHECK TOMS SYSTEM (TPMS) 'DUMMY LIGHT' HAS BEEN MY ON NAV DASH SINCE 1 MONTH AFTER I GOT THIS 2013 CIVIC LX. MY HUBBY, A 32 YR MASTER TECH FOR CADILLAC/GM COULDN'T EVEN FIX IT WITH SCHEMATICS FROM HONDA. HONDA TECHS COULDN'T FIX IT NUMEROUS TIMES. TIRES HAVE BEEN FILLED W/AIR. AIR LET OUT. ALL 4 TIRES ROTATED. ALL NEW 4 TIRES..BALANCED/MOUNTED. IN OTHER WORDS....NOTHING WORKS! NO UPDATES ON THE CAR& EVEN IF YOU DRIVE THE CAR 100MILES AT CERTAIN SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A TIME-DONT GO OUT. BEEN OVER 3 YRS!! SHORT OF COVERING IT, WHAT THE HELL DO I DO? I'D BE COVERING UP MY STEREO, BLUETOOTH & CARPLAY. PLEASE HELP! IT'S VERY DISTRACTING. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE? (IT'S ON YEAR ROUND 365 A YR)

IMA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP WHILE ON HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO DEALERHIP WITH FLASHING HAZZARD LIGHTS GOING 20 MPH. HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND SAYS CODE POAE1. TROUBLEHOT CODE AND TELLING ME NOT IMA BATTERY PROBLEM THAT WOUDL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANYT, BUT MOTHERBOARD PROBLEM WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MOTHERBOARD PART IS BACKORDERED AND MAY TAKE MONTHS. I ASKED FOR DOCUMENTATION THAT IT IS NOT A COVERED UNDER ELECTRICAL WARRANTY BECAUSE IMA AND THEY SAY NO. SAYS THEY WILL GIVE ME PAPERWORK AFTER IF IS FIXED. $2000

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE 'CHECK AIRBAG' LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I SEAT OR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE PAINT WAS BUBBLY AND HAD RUST SPOTS.

THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK ON THE 2013 HONDA CIVIC. ~ 33000 MILES ARE ON THE HONDA CIVIC. MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES OF IGNITION COULD CAUSE A FIRE, OR POTENTIALLY AN EXPLOSION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DETERMINED THERE WAS A LEAK. CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALER: CURRY HONDA, CHAMBLEE, GA 30341

VEHICLE HESITATES UNDER ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES ALMOST STALLING. I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MY SON AT TIMES. MERGING ETC. I CALLED HONDA SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE COME UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ECON MODE. I DROVE THE CAR WITH IT OFF AND STILL DOES IT AT TIMES. VERY CONCERNED. I AM TAKING IT IN TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. NOT GOOD!

MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBER CAN BE DISREGARDED: 10864804 THE PROBLEM IN THE 2013 CIVIC TURNED OUT TO BE THE WHEEL BEARING AND NOT THE TRANSMISSION AS I FIRST THOUGHT.

I HAD A TOTAL HUB FAILURE. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 9MPH IN A PARKING LOT MAKING A SLIGHT TURN WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAD TO HAVE THE MECHANIC REPLACE THE KNUCKLE, HUB, BEARING, CALIPER AND BRACKET ALONG WITH ABS SENSOR. IF I WOULD'VE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IT WOULD'VE BEEN REALLY BAD. THE CAR HAS 95K MILES AND MAINTENANCES REGULARLY.

TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT ON. TIRES INFLATED AT THE PROPER PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL CONTINUALLY COMING ON EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SENSOR OR INDICATOR SIGNAL. NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW IT.

THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2016 AS A FEW PATCHES OF SLIGHT DISCOLORATION, WHERE THE PAINT APPEARED LIGHTER OR DULLER THAN THE SURROUNDING AREA. EVENTUALLY THE CLEAR COAT STARTED TO PULL BACK FROM THE CAR AND CHIP THE PAINT. THIS CONTINUED TO GROW INTO A FULL-FLEDGED PEEL-A-THON. THE AFFECTED AREAS ARE THE HOOD, FENDERS, AROUND THE GAS TANK, THE TRUNK AND THE ROOF. THE PEELING IS NOTICEABLE, GROWING, AND NOT A FUNCTION OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE. IT'S LIKE THE PAINT WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED OR THERE IS SOME MANUFACTURER ERROR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. STAYED ON FOR MAJORITY OF TIME. DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND CODE B0001-13 REPLACE CABLE REEL. NOTES IN REPAIR SHOWED "INCREASED TENSION IN REEL" REEL WAS REPLACED CAR WAS RETURNED WITHOUT WORKING HORN OR CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL WORKING. LATTER MAY BE TECHNICIAN FAULT.

CVT - ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION - MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN THE SAME RECENTLY AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE CV TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS (SUCH AS 50MPH OR MORE, THE CAR SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN A LOWER GEAR). THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A LOWER GEAR WHEN IT DRIVES. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (AVENTURA HONDA IN FLORIDA) AND THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH JUST TO BE SAFE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I SAW THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2014 AND 2015 HONDA CIVIC MODELS. I CAN ONLY BEGIN TO WONDER IF THE 2013 MODEL ALSO HAS DEFECTS. I HAVE ABOUT 47,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE 2013 HONDA CIVIC MODEL FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS IN THE CVT. I SPENT $149 FOR A FLUSH THAT DID NOTING TO ALLEVIATE THE NOISY AND ROUGH TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR $65 WHILE I WAITED FOR THE SERVICE TO BE DONE.

TPMS INDICATOR LIGHT ON. TIRES INFLATED AT THE PROPER PRESSURE. I HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 HONDA CIVIC, DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE $112 PER TIRE TO CORRECT IT. THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW IT. OTHERWISE CAR DRIVES FINE, IT IS JUST ONE MORE GIMMICK AUTO MANUFACTURERS INJECT W/FEDERAL BLESSING TO RIP-OFF CONSUMERS.

MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC HESITATES WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR MERGE AT A FREEWAY ENTRY AND ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION, COMPUTER CONTROL OR THE ENGINE OR CV TRANSMISSION MAY BE THE CAUSE. I SUSPECT THE COMPUTER CONTROL, AS THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH "ECO MODE". BUT THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER "ECO MODE" IS ON OR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, BUT I WILL ONLY LIST THE MOST RECENT ISSUE BELOW.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE LIGHT WOULD GENERALLY GO OFF AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. I BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THROWING THE CODE DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE???? FAST FORWARD TO 12 MONTHS LATER AND THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF ABOUT 10+ TIMES PER DAY. SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THAT THERE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL.

ALL 9TH GENERATION CIVICS ARE EQUIPED WITH STOCK UNDER POWERED HORNS. SAFTEY ISSUE, SINCE OTHER CARS WON'T HEAR IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. SOME DEALERS OFFER A HORN UPGRADE, BUT THE LABOR WOULD BE COSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BUMPER COVER HAS TO BE REMOVED AND RE INSTALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS INCORRECTLY REPLACED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER CHECK UP. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE WHETHER THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED SOME RUSTING ON THE SUN ROOF, BUT DID NOT NOTIFY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL

WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE "CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM" ALERT WILL POP UP ON THE DISPLAY. IT WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY AND THEN TURNS BACK OFF. I HAVE HAD HONDA RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ALREADY AND NOTHING WAS FOUND, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR TWO YEARS
