STEERING

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle exhibits difficulty when applying steering input at highway speeds. Even when Lane Keep Assist, and other Honda Sensing features are disabled, the vehicle's steering wheel doesn't automatically center itself, and instead will maintain steering angle through corners. It also has a sticky or notchy feeling when driving straight on a straight highway. When this is occurring, fine steering inputs are hard to make, and keeping the vehicle centered in the lane becomes difficult.

Corrective Action:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I just purchased my used 2019 Honda Civic LX a few weeks ago. Online forums warned me of a "sticking" steering wheel and I've noticed they're right. It occurs most often (or is most noticeable) when traveling straight at highway speeds. It seems that the steering wheel "sticks" when no turning input is given for a short time. Eventually, when a steering correction to the left or right is needed by the driver, it is met with a wheel that doesn't want to turn and requires a little extra effort to move the steering wheel off center. The result of the sticking causes the car to over-respond slightly to the left or right input and needs to be re-corrected. This appears to be a known issue for the 10th generation (2016-2021) Civics according to online user forums. I could see where a vehicle having a more severe case of this than my vehicle could pose a serious safety concern. My wife noticed it and it took her by surprise. Recently I saw a similar issue getting attention for the 11th generation (2022-present) Civics and wanted to report mine as having similar symptoms, but in the previous generation body style. Thank you! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I was driving on a relatively hot day around 85F and the car AC was working fine but in the course of 30 min the ac started blowing hot air on my face while I was driving on freeway. The temperature was set to 69F but it still kept blowing hot air. After a while it started giving me a headache and I had to turn it off. I got it checked by Honda dealership and there is an Evaporator leak in the car confirming why I got a headache. This is a safety risk to the passengers of the vehicle as high concentrations of the ac refrigerant can leak in the car potential poisoning or making the driver loose consciousness and loose control of the car causing an accident. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership as there is an extended warranty for the condenser due to the high pressures of the newer refrigerant causing holes in condenser and evaporator but there is NO extended warranty for the evaporator which poses a greater risk to the drivers than the condenser since the part is inside of the cabin.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

2019 Honda Civic Si (1.5L turbo engine with 6-speed manual transmission) purchased in September 2019 at CPO with 7,000 miles — current mileage 26,638. Honda factory CPO powertrain warranty valid until 11 June 2026 or 100K miles. If the vehicle is parked in gear (either 1st or Rerverse) without applying parking brake on even the slightest grade (uphill or downhill), the vehicle will slowly creep — on a couple of occurrences, the vehicle moved more than 6 feet. This has happened on multiple occasions as I do not always remember to manually apply the parking brake. Once while waiting for a friend to pick up a prescription at a pharmacy, I actually witnessed a "ratchet" effect movement of the vehicle in the parking lot while sitting in the driver's seat. I took the vehicle to Mohawk Honda (Scotia NY) for assessment. My answer was to always set parking brake as documented in owner manual — interestingly, it states the same for vehicles with CVT (automatic) transmissions as opposed to simply putting them in Park. I have owned literally dozens of manual transmission vehicles since 1981, and I have never before experienced this. Service manager (via phone) later blamed low compression engine as incapable of holding vehicle when in gear. Call to Honda Customer Service at the time referred me back to a dealer. I decided to pursue this once again after reading of another manufacturer's recall of a car that would not hold in place while parked.

Potential Consequences:

I was driving down the highway near where I live in Hanford California the highway is 198. I was going 68, 69 mph. No one was on the road my car literally slammed on its brakes and jerked to the right.this has happened 2times I have turned off the assist I’m to afraid it will happen again. I am bringing it into the dealership tomorrow and also have them check my airbags the light in the dashboard intermittently keeps coming on then after a bit it will turn off. The first time I brought it in for the airbag lights coming on they informed me that it was due to me pulling the seat back to far I am 5 foot four. I don’t normally pull the seat back. It would be more closer to the steering wheel for me, but there was a problem supposedly with the connection that is under the seat it doesn’t make me feel too safe to think that me moving. My seat is going to prevent my airbags from deploying God for bid if I get into an accident.

Defect Description:

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

My 2019 Honda Civic is experiencing paint chipping on the mirrors and door handles. I've noticed others reporting similar problems. The paint is literally bubbling off. When I contacted Honda of America, they acknowledged that it's atypical and indicative of a product defect, but stated they couldn't assist as it's out of warranty and no recalls have been issued at this time. It’s crazy to me a car that spends the majority of the time in a garage has this type of issue. Keep in mind that I live in Southern California where we don’t experience much in the realm of harsh weather.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

On Sunday morning, 8/27/2023, I entered my car after having driven it an hour prior for around 30 minutes to and from a sandwich shop. I entered the vehicle and turned the engine on without issue, and attempted to accelerate. After making it about ten feet, the acceleration on the gas pedal suddenly stopped working. I would push the gas pedal and the car would not move, nor the engine even rev. Confused, I parked and turned the car off and on again. Upon turning the car on, the engine stalled for a brief moment before slowly engaging. It was at that moment that I felt the entire car shifting back and forth, shaking. I immediately shut the car off out of fear and waited for a few moments before making a second attempt, being met with the exact same result. The next day, I entered the vehicle and attempted to turn it on again. This time, it started up and the engine engaged without any issue. However, I was now bombarded by dozens of error messages on my dashboard with systems such as emergency break, ABS, power steering, etc. giving me warnings. This morning, I had a mechanic come out and attempt diagnose the issue. He was confused when running the diagnostic tool through the systems, as he received "permanent codes" regarding several issues with the car. Taking some time to research, his opinion was that there may be an issue with the fuel pump motor. There is an open recall on 2019 Honda Civics for the fuel pump, however my specific vehicle does not seem to show up as needing this fix when I search with my VIN. After taking some time to check things, the Mechanic and myself proceeded to test drive and ensure that the car seemed safe to operate, where the mechanic approved my vehicle and encouraged me to send a report.
