2015 Honda Civic Complaint Log

PURCHASED CAR WITH 136 MILES ON IT. NOTICED THE BRAKES MADE A POPPING SOUND WHEN PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, ALSO A NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. MAYBE YOU ARE PRESSING TO HARD ON THE BRAKES.THIRD MONTH IN I WENT BACK AGAIN FOR THE GEAR SHIFT NOISE AND WAS TOLD THATS JUST HOW THESE CIVICS SOUND.

AIR BAG LIGHTS COMES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY! DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN I AM DRIVING ON MY CITY STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

THE TPMS KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE ASKED HONDA SINCE 2015 WHEN I PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW CAR TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ASKED 5 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THE SENSOR KEEPS COMING BACK EVERY COUPLE OF MILES. ALL HONDA DOES IS RESET IT AND THAT'S IT. THEY TELL ME ALL I HAVE TO DO IS RESET IT. WHAT IF SOMETHING REALLY IS WRONG WHEN I'M DRIVING? SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN BUT HONDA SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I DON'T THINK THAT IS TRUE. I CAN'T EVEN TRAVEL OR TAKE MY CAR ANY WHERE IN THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS BECAUSE THE SENSOR ALWAYS COMES ON. I HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I DO NOT EVEN TRUST HONDA AND IT'S CARS ANY MORE. WASTE OF MONEY AND DISAPPOINTED FOR MY FIRST CAR. HONDA LIES AND DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE HEAD-REST FORCES THE HEAD INTO AN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION CAUSING NECK PAIN.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH LESS THAN 3500 MILES ON IT FROM VANDERGRIFF HONDA IN ARLINGTON, TX; IT HAS NO FUNCTIONING TPMS , WHICH IS REQUIRED IN A 2015 VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT OF THE MALL MY SUNROOF JUST POPPED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. NOTHING HIT MY ROOF JUST POPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON, IN NEUTRAL OR WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY STRONG VIBRATION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERS, WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS TO SEND A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM THEIR COMPANY TO INSPECT THE FAILURE BUT THE CONTACT RECEIVED NO FOLLOW UP AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900. UPDATED 05/04/16*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED UPON START UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS DUE TO THE MATERIAL BEING MADE OF SOY BASED MATERIAL THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

MY REAR VIEW CAMERAS IS EXTREMELY DARK AND DANGEROUS TO USE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUN (I BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL THAT WAY) I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PORT CHARLOTTE FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWI TIMES AND AFTER 3 EMPLOYEES AGREED YOU CAN NOT SEE WELL ENOUGH OUT OF IT TO BE ABLE TO USE IT THEY HAD ME BRING IT BACK SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR MASTER TECH CALL A COMPANY MASTER TECH TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM AND IT WOULD TAKE 3 TO 4 HOURS. THE RESULT THEY GAVE ME IN WRITING WAS "WORKING AS DESIGNED". THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN AS MY 2012 HONDA CRV WORKED GREAT AND THE 2013 HONDA CIVICS WORKED GREAT. THEY CHANGED THE CAMERA IN THE CIVIC IN 2014, I THINK THEY ARE ALL BAD TOO.

I LEASED A NEW 2015 HONDA CIVIC FROM OURISMAN HONDA IN BETHESDA, MARYLAND IN JUNE 2015. SHORTLY AFTER THIS PURCHASE, I STARTED TO SEE SMALL PALE SPIDERS IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN A SPIDER IN ANY CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. I SEE ABOUT 1 SPIDER A WEEK AND MOST RECENTLY, THIS MORNING JULY 11TH INVOLVING A SPIDER ABOUT 1/2 AN INCH IN DIAMETER AND AN OFF-WHITE/PALE COLOR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND MY COMPLAINT WAS GREETED WITH BOTH INCREDULITY AND MIRTH. ONE OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THAT SPIDERS ARE PART OF NATURE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM FILING THIS REPORT WITH DOT AS WELL AS THE STATE OF MD AND OURISMAN IN HOPES THAT HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE (INCLUDING MYSELF) GETS INTO A CAR ACCIDENT.

VIBRATION ON THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE (THE CONSOLE)WHEN IN IDLE WITH OR WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THERE IS VIBRATION. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND TURNING A CORNER UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ UPDATED 09/17/15*LJ UPDATED 11/15/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE LOWER MOTOR MOUNTS AND SIDE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPOSITIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 896.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE STRUCK A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A CLIFF. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS HEAD AND ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT WAS REPAIRED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500. UPDATED 10/26/15. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE SUN REFLECTED STRONGLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DIRECTLY AT THE COMPUTER DIGITAL AREA, WHICH ABSTRACTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES ON THE ROAD SHOULDER TO REGAIN SIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT HE MAY CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER; THE DEALER ADVISED THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND TURNING THE AC VENTS BLOWER MOTOR MAKES LOUD WHINING NOISE. THERES TIMES WHERE IT COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING AT TIMES. THE UNIT WONT THROW ANY AIR THRU VENTS. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AC BLOWER MOTOR WAS CHANGED ONCE.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR ON APRIL 11, 2015. DON'T DRIVE THE CAR EVERYDAY. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME I AM IN THE CAR, EVEN FOR SHORT DISTANCES, I GET REALLY SICK--HEADACHE, NAUSEA, TIGHTNESS IN THE HEAD, AND EXTREME TIREDNESS. I AM NOT PRONE TO CAR SICKNESS, AND HAVE DRIVEN A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD PREVIOUSLY, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THESE SYMPTOMS BEFORE. A 2011 REPORT CITES HONDA CIVIC AS BEING THE 'HEALTHIEST' CAR TO DRIVE. HAS SOMETHING CHANGED IN THE MATERIALS THAT HONDA NOW USES? IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS? WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? HOW LONG BEFORE VENTILATION DISSIPATES THESE ISSUES?

I PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH A CVT. I CAN RELIABLY REPRODUCE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) STUTTERS OR JERKS WHEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATING AT IN-TOWN SPEEDS (E.G., 10-40 MPH). IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING FROM A SLOW SPEED (E.G., 10-20 MPH) AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING. A REAR END COLLUSION COULD TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE HESITATION OF ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DELLA HONDA DEALERSHIP IN NEW YORK STATE, BUT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSB); SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO TROUBLESHOOT OR DIAGNOSIS THE TROUBLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HOOKED UP MY CAR TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND NO SERVICE CODES OR OUT-OF-SPEC MESSAGES APPEARED, SO THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TROUBLE WITH THE CVT, BUT HONDA IS RESISTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TROUBLE. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 4,864 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARED TO RESOLVE THE TROUBLE.

UPON VIEWING AN ACCIDENT IN FRONT OF ME, I PARKED ON SIDE OF ROAD, APPLIED EMERGENCY FLASHERS, CALLED 911 (HAND HELD- NOT ATTACHED TO CAR) AND WAS REMOVING KEYS FROM IGNITION & TRYING TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR & EXIT CAR TO RENDER AID. CAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I UNLOCKED DOOR MANUALLY AT HANDLE. STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. I RE-INSERTED KEY, TURNED ENGINE ON, PUSHED DOOR OPEN BUTTON. DOOR NOT OPEN. (I WAS DIALING & TALKING WITH 911 OPERATOR DURING THIS TIME. I WAS GETTING EXCITED ABOUT NEED TO GET TO VICTIM(S) OF ACCIDENT, BUT COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY CAR. I EVENTUALLY CLIMBED OVER MIDDLE CONSOLE TO EXIT CAR FROM PASSENGER'S DOOR. NOW-- DRIVER'S DOOR STILL CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE, BUT WORKS AS USUAL FROM THE OUTSIDE.. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SCARED ME OF THE IMPLICATIONS, AFTERWARDS. IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN EMERGENCY AND NEEDED TO EXIT CAR QUICKLY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS IN CITY DRIVING, THE CAR TENDS TO LURCH FORWARD. CONCERNED ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAG- BEFORE I BOUGHT VEHICLE ASKED IF ONE WAS INSTALLED AND/ OR AIRBAG MANUFACTURER. COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER AND WAS TOLD TO BUY A 2015 "JUST TO BE SAFE". IN LIGHT OF THE 2015 VW TAKATA AIRBAG THAT JUST RUPTURED I WOULD LIKE ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AS I BOUGHT THE CAR . IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT TAKATA WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE PUTTING AIRBAGS IN WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE.

WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUTSIDE THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE IS SO DARK THAT THE CAMERA IS NOT A RELIABLE TOOL FOR USE BACKING THE CAR UP, THUS, IT IS NOT PERFORMING AS DESIGNED.

DEAR LAWYER, MY HONDA CIVIC EXL 2015 WAS REAR ENDED ON THE 9TH DAY. THEN THE CAR COLLIDED WITH THE ELECTRIC POLE. KINDLY FIND THE DETAILS- ?ACCIDENT: 5TH JAN 2015 (HTTP://GOO.GL/BHCPGH) THUS, I WOULD BE OBLIGED IF YOU COULD HELP ME TO MAKE THE CLAIM. LOOKING FORWARD TO TALK TO YOU SOON. WISHING YOU A GREAT DAY. REGARDS, [XXX] NOTE-GOOD THING ABOUT NEW AS HONDA CLAIMS- "THE HONDALINKTM ASSIST5,11,12,28 AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO GET YOU THE HELP YOU NEED WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST. IF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSOR IS TRIGGERED, THIS NEW COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM IS ENGINEERED TO AUTOMATICALLY USE YOUR COMPATIBLE BLUETOOTH - PAIRED PHONE TO NOTIFY AN OPERATOR, REPORT THE CAR?S CURRENT LOCATION AND ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE OPERATOR. IF YOU?RE UNABLE TO SPEAK, EMERGENCY SERVICES SHOULD BE DISPATCHED IMMEDIATELY. IT WORKS WITH ANY COMPATIBLE BLUETOOTHPAIRED PHONE, DOES NOT REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION AND HELPS GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND WHILE YOU?RE ON THE ROAD." BUT TO MY SURPRISE, AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. JAN 11- 2014, WHEN I CALLED THE HONDALINK ASSIST, REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT THEY GET CALLS ONCE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. ONLINE RESEARCH PROVES THAT HONDA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING FAULTY AIRBAGS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHEN GEARING DOWN, DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH DOES NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, SO WHEN YOU RELEASE THE CLUTCH, THE VEHICLE RESUMES THE ORIGINAL CRUISE SET SPEED WITHOUT PRESSING THE "RESUME" BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK THAT WAY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES FOR 30 YEARS, AND IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT DEPRESSING EITHER THE CLUTCH OR BRAKE SHOULD DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST MONTH AND IT HAS REMAINED IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I'M TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I KNOW ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUE AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN THIS CAR WILL APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST SO I CAN GET IT FIXED ASAP AND START DRIVING IT!
