2024 Honda Civic

I originally notified my dealer of concerns with my vehicles behavior while using cruise control and they verified that the systems were 'calibrated and working properly'. On a regular basis, my car will automatically and erroneously engage the vehicles brakes while driving, especially while using the automatic cruise control function. This behavior is far worse at night but has happened to me during the day as well and under all weather conditions. Typically, the gauge cluster will show a motorcycle or car being 'detected' on the screen before or at the same time this happens even though there typically is nothing there. Additionally, this may or may not be related. The entire driver assist system and cruise control are constantly failing to function and often show as 'unavailable' - the cruise control, lane keep, and auto stop features will stop working at random while in use constantly; seemingly heavily influenced by even that slightest adverse conditions - driving in the cold? 'System unavailable'. A rain drop hit the windshield? 'System unavailable'. Road is wet? System unavailable'. While I am able to stay alert and correct these issues as they are constantly arising, they should not be available for use on public roads as they at random cause the vehicle to operate in an unpredictable manner and create a significant hazard for other drivers on the road who may not be paying attention - it's not if someone will collide with the back of the vehicle but rather when and how severe - this vehicle should not be hitting the brakes when there is nothing to stop for and a system like cruise control should not constantly and randomly stop working while in use.

The mechanics at the Honda dealership reported the following on a vehicle that has approximately 27,000 miles on it: 1. The clutch assembly failed and requires a complete clutch kit replacement. 2. The crankshaft oil seal is leaking, which causes oil to be splattered around the engine bay as the crankshaft spins. 3. Timing chain tensioner cover is seeping oil. Honda provided a video showing the exterior of the vehicle only. The video did not show video evidence the clutch was faulty, or that any leaks were present. The safety of the driver and surrounding traffic was put at risk because the vehicle became unreliable (degraded powertrain performance) due to premature failure of the clutch assembly. Leaky crankshaft oil seal and timing chain tensioner cover are leaking lubricants onto hot engine surfaces, causing noxious fumes. These fumes entered the cabin of the vehicle, putting the health of the driver at risk. The problems listed above were confirmed by a service technician at the Honda dealership. The vehicle/components listed above have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others at this time. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The problem first appeared when the driver was driving home from New Jersey to Virginia on 3/15/2026. She experienced shuddering when the vehicle shifted from first to second gear, then second to third gear. A noxious odor was detected inside the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealership on 3/16/2026.

I took my 2024 Honda Civic Sport to my local Honda dealership due to concerning issues with the steering. After diagnosing the problem, the dealership determined that the car needed a full steering rack replacement. They contacted Honda, who agreed to cover part of the repair, but I was told I would have to pay $600 out-of-pocket. Given the newness of the vehicle, I believe this is a safety defect that should be fully covered under a recall, as I should not have to pay for such a major issue on a nearly brand-new car.

The contact owned a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact's vehicle was involved in a six-vehicle crash on a major highway. The contact vehicle was crashed into twice on the front end and once on the rear. The contact stated that the contact's vehicle was the fifth vehicle involved in the six-vehicle crash. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The vehicle was condemned a total loss by the insurance company. The contact was later treated at a local medical center. The contact sustained injuries to the right side, upper and lower back, and the neck. A Police report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 37,082.

The cotter pin and washer nuts connecting the brake pedal to the brake booster are completely missing from my vehicle. Unsure if it was even installed when I purchased the vehicle in 2024. Noticed the issue last Friday the 13th of February, 2026. brought it into a dealership Tuesday the 17th of February, 2026. They diagnosed that the pin was completely gone, which if such was the case i am unsure as to how i’ve been driving the vehicle normally until Friday, but if its just not there then I have reason to suspect that it was never installed properly in the first place, and through normal wear and tear it finally decided to give? But that still wouldn’t explain why its completely missing, and not in the car.

At speeds 35+ MPH the steering has a “sticky” “notch” feeling making steering at high speed very difficult to do smoothly, especially when cornering. This has led to close-calls nearly resulting in accidents, but fortunately being avoided. I suspect it has to do with the steering rack issue that is a common complaint with this MY.

My Honda will randomly beep and slam the brakes but there is nothing in front of me, it has done this multiple times and getting to the point I’m scared it will cause an accident. When it happened the first time I thought maybe it was because it was slightly raining, but it will do it regardless of the weather conditions. It has happened probably 5+ times, and it’s starting to become more frequent.

The contact leased a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, and making a lane change, the steering wheel overcorrected the change due to the automatic lane corrector and swerved across two lanes inadvertently, and collided with a semitruck and then into a wall. The air bag deployed, and the driver's seat belt independently unlatched. The contact stated that the seat belt unbuckled at some point during the collision. The contact sustained face burns and lacerations, right arm/shoulder, and right side rib injuries. Medical attention was needed for the contact. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a lot where the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,083.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH on a rainy day and pulling into driveway at the residence, the steering wheel became very loose and then very firm. The contact stated that the LKAS feature activated and independently steered the vehicle over to the right. The contact attempted to turn the steering wheel to the left, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle made an abnormal sound before sliding like it was on ice and crashed into two other vehicles parked in the driveway which did minor damages to both vehicles. The contact lost consciousness from the impact with the first vehicle for approximately one second. The contact stated that after crashing into the second vehicle, the vehicle temporarily returned to normal operation and the brake pedal was depressed; however, the steering wheel was still firm and unresponsive. The contact stated that no air bags deployed during the crash. The contact then called 911 for assistance. No medical attention was required because the contact had not suffered any injuries. The contact stated that a Police Report was filed. The local dealer was contacted and provided the contact a number to call however, the number was inoperable. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (STEERING); for which the VIN was included. The contact stated that the local dealer was contacted several times over several months but was unable to provide the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was towed a collision center. There was no information if the vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

When using the backseat armrest and cup holders, if you have a hot coffee, to go, from let’s say Starbucks, no matter the size, it will come out of the cup holder in certain turns, when the car is moving. It’s spilled multiple times on my kids and a friend, who had scalding on their hands. This is very unsafe and the cup holders need to be deeper, they are very shallow, to hold to go cups, even sodas from McDonald’s will come out of the cup holders when the car is turning at medium speeds around corners, 30 MPH or so.

I was driving up a hill and all of a sudden, my transmission gave out, and I was rolling backwards on a hill. It was terrifying since the brakes barely worked as well. I was rolling down the hill and almost crashed, it was emotionally damaging and hope I never have to live through that again. I had AAA take the car to Honda, and they said that they needed to replace the transmission after only 10,000 miles. I could not believe it and they replaced the transmission since it was covered under warranty.

Cvt transmission unknown if can be inspected. Safety reason is I went to do a lane change on the interstate and pressed the throttle I hear the transmission make a loud noise and would not speed up even with me pressing more on the accelerator. Then 5 seconds later car finally started to speed up No I have brought car in prior to be looked at for the car jumping on slow acceleration they can’t get it to do it when I bring it in. Vehicle has been inspected was advised to change transmission fluid I did issue is still present. No there was no warning lights

The clutch system in my 2024 Honda Civic Sport Touring (VIN: [XXX]) failed completely at 8,126 miles, consisting of flywheel (#22100-5CD-018), friction disk (#22200-5CC-003), pressure plate (#22300-5CC-003), and release bearing (#22810-57A-006) - the exact parts Honda identified as defective in TSB 22-017 due to supplier production issues causing premature friction disc wear. The failure created immediate safety hazards including complete loss of power transmission in traffic, inability to accelerate or maintain speed, unpredictable gear engagement, and risk of being rear-ended when the vehicle suddenly lost power on busy San Diego roads, forcing an emergency roadside stop and towing. Mossy Honda Lemon Grove confirmed the failure (RO# [XXX]), documenting excessive heat causing excessive wear with hot spots all around pressure plate and clutch disc measuring only 5.24mm. Honda denied warranty coverage claiming user error without evidence, and Honda Customer Relations (Case #[XXX]) has provided no substantive response despite these being known defective components. Warning signs first appeared at approximately 4,000 miles with clutch slippage during uphill parking, progressively worsening to include burning smell, difficulty engaging gears, and slippage under normal acceleration before complete failure at 8,126 miles, though no warning lights appeared as manual transmissions lack clutch monitoring systems.

Numerous defects in my 2024 Honda Civic Sport. I leased this vehicle in January 2024 for 36 months (with a $4,675 down payment and $284.62 monthly payments). From early in the lease, the car has been plagued with serious problems. Below is a chronological list of the issues my vehicle has experienced: Gearbox replacement – Feb 3, 2025 (12,792 miles): The vehicle’s transmission/gearbox failed catastrophically and was replaced under warranty. Axle boots replacement – Feb 19, 2025 (13,384 miles): Soon after, the front axle boots were found to be defective (leaking) and were replaced. Climate control panel failure (moisture damage) – Mar 6, 2025 (13,892 miles): The climate control and infotainment panel stopped functioning due to moisture intrusion and had to be replaced. Refusal to diagnose vibration issue – June 27, 2025 (18,116 miles): I reported a persistent and concerning vibration during driving (which could indicate an unresolved powertrain or suspension issue), but the dealership refused to perform a diagnostic or address it, returning the car to me without resolution. Steering wheel damage & falsified report – June 30, 2025: During a service visit, dealership personnel damaged the steering wheel and then provided a false report that inaccurately stated the damage was pre-existing, instead of taking responsibility. Ongoing audio system malfunctions – (continuing issue): The car’s audio system suffers from frequent USB/Bluetooth disconnections, which have persisted despite multiple service visits. The car's lane assist is triggered at random during drives almost causing several auto accidents. Every one of these issues is documented through repair orders and correspondence. I have maintained a file with all relevant service records, emails with the dealer (Honda of Van Nuys), and photographic evidence (such as photos of the steering wheel after the damage on June 30, 2025). These docs are available
