ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

While driving my Honda civic 2017, a loud static noise suddenly started coming from the vehicle’s audio system or speakers. The noise is persistent and does not stop unless I turn off the vehicle completely. This creates a significant distraction and could interfere with hearing emergency vehicles or other road sounds. This issue occurs randomly and is a serious safety concern.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The issue I’m having is that the break red light in the orange brake system just appears randomly without me activating the break. on one occasion I parked the car without seeing any of those signals, then upon me coming out of the store, both signals appeared on the dashboard. my car was stuck in break four hours. After continuously, activating the electronic brake and inactivating it I was able to drive home. I am currently driving day two with both signals flashing on my dashboard. The wheels are rolling and not dragging so I’m not sure what’s going on. This is a safety hazard for not only myself or family, but for other drivers on the road because if this decides to just stop in the middle of the road activating the brakes I’m going to be in trouble and hopefully not life threatening trouble.

Potential Consequences:

Came out to a dead battery, despite the battery being less than four months old. On one occasion, I came out to the vehicle with the windows rolled down. On another occasion, I was told there was an issue with the anti-theft system. There was even a time where I came out to my car in accessory mode, despite not turning the vehicle on. Reading online, all signs point to a failure of the BCM. This is a common enough issue where there are entire threads dedicated to the problem.

The issue I am having on my 2017 Honda Civic is steering issues. Especially when it is warmer, the steering sticks and is jerky when trying to keep it in a straight line. It feels very unsafe and unstable driving especially on a highway at a higher speed limit. When needing to make a slight merge, with the steering sticking, you feel it jerk when you have to merge. This has happened constantly since last summer.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

My AC started blowing hot air in 2023. I checked in with Honda and apparently they extended the warranty on the compressor shaft seal and condenser due to a class action lawsuit and other customer complaints. It turned out that both of those parts were affected in my vehicle and I got a free replacement. A year later my AC started blowing hot air again. This time the evaporator was the problem. Apparently it was not covered by warranty, and according to Honda the reason was that the compressor and condenser were separate from the evaporator, which meant the issues weren’t related. Upon research, the evaporator going bad is a common issue with Honda. I didn’t get the part replaced and paid $200 to Honda for the inspection.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The AC condenser, compressor, blower, & evapoartor core all broke down. After repair, I’m still receiving a “fog horn noise” audiable sound. This is dangerous as I have no A/C in the hot summer. The dealer inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. They will only fix the first two (condensor & compressor) under warranty, which I’m not under warranty. They say Honda won't fix the evaporator core even though this one breaking is almost certainly a result of the condesor & compressor breaking. We believe this should also be covered under warranty. There was no warning of the issue. The evaporator core costs $2k to repair and Honda refuses to help, even though the dealer let us know that this part breaking was almost certainly caused by the parts under warranty breaking down. We asked for second oppinions with other mechanics who told us the same thing. Ended up repairing at a 3rd party shop after spending 45 days within 2 years in the shop for this issue, and paying over $5k in diagnostic and recharged coolant. The lemon law statutes are on the horizon, and the prima facie negligence to avoid repair is on the face of this ongoing issue.

Corrective Action:

The AC condenser, compressor, blower, & evapoartor core all broke down. After repair, I’m still receiving a “fog horn noise” audiable sound. This is dangerous as I have no A/C in the hot summer. The dealer inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. They will only fix the first two (condensor & compressor) under warranty, which I’m not under warranty. They say Honda won't fix the evaporator core even though this one breaking is almost certainly a result of the condesor & compressor breaking. We believe this should also be covered under warranty.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I am experiencing the same issue described in bulletin 18-102 which covers my make, model and year but not my VIN. Honda dealership quoted the same repair as the bulletin, PS rack, at $4,471. Honda America refuses to cover any of the repair even though it is a known safety issue with both the 10th and 11th generation Honda Civics.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My 2017 Honda Civic has notchy/dead spot feeling in steering at wheel center at highway speeds. When this occurs, it causes the driver to overcorrect and loose lane position. It is worse on warmer days. Honda has a Recall already on later models but not early ones, they need to expand the recall. I called my closest dealer, and they said yes, they know of the problem, but my VIN is not affected. The Quote they gave me was $4200 that's crazy when they know of a problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

Paint is bubbling and peeling around rear window inlay. We noticed it in August 2024, but not sure when it actually started happening. Car was not in an accident, and is in an area where there was never any exterior damage. I contacted honda and they reviewed the case and did not consider it an issue or defect caused by manufacturer. I know honda has had issues with the white paint, but I believe my paint has the same defect due to the location and how the paint is coming off. I also contacted my local honda dealer and they advised normally, for this issue, they would do a courtesy warranty repair, but since we don't service our vehicles there they wouldn't honor that. I want this documented for honda paint issues because I am sure I am not the only one with the problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I drove home from work today like normal. Pushed the engine start/stop button before getting out of the car. The radio was still on, and the dash was still on, with Accessory Mode, push "start/stop" twice to turn off, or something similar to that. I pushed the button twice. It went to accessory mode. I started the engine, drove the car out of the drive way, came back, pushed the button to turn off the car... accessory mode. turned the car on, turned the car off.... accessory mode. Moved the keys all away from the car. Started the car (which i could do because it WAS STILL IN ACCESSORY MODE) and drove the car, meanwhile there was a big warning saying there was no key fob in the proximity. Parked the car, pushed the on/off button.... accessory mode. I have tried everything I can think of, the car wont lock. It wont exit accessory mode unless its in full on start. Someone could come along and steal my car because I cant turn it off. all i can do is disconnect the battery and after 2-3 days i connect it and it works just temporarily. This is not ok and unsafe especially when i have a new born and stranded in the middle of the wors place due to this issue.
