Defect Description:
VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
Windshield wipers do not fully clean/clear driver side of windshield. This is a MAJOR safety risk as wet roads can impair driver vision from salt and sand trucks. Windshield wiper fluid does not clean/clear drivers vision from this and creates a direct block of vision of the road. What I experienced was minor due to minimal snow. This was very impactful in loss of visibility even on this experience. I am genuinely afraid for my safety as this winger season ensues. This is incredibly dangerous and could cause an accident or possibly death.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I have less than 2000 miles on a new Honda Civic Ex and the emission systems problem warning light has come on and it says power may be reduced and see your dealer. Took to dealer and they think it is with the fuel cap but cannot get parts since it is too new. Everything I read indicates it is serious and needs immediate attention. Do not know what to do.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Steering is sticking when making normal minor corrections while driving. This causes the driver to have to over-correct to get past the sticking point. When driving on the highway, this makes driving dangerous, as an over-correction moves the vehicle closer to other vehicles or barriers. Note that this problem started around middle of November 2022. Prior to that the vehicle drove fine, no issues.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering of the car is hard to control starting at 30 mph and getting progressively worse as you increase the speed. The steering wheel seems to lock in a position and when you try to correct your path of travel it causes an over correction due to the additional force necessary to try and keep the car in the intended path. I had 2 close calls where I almost had an accident on the high way because of this. along with my hand being damaged as a result of a service connected disability I fear that I wont have enough strength to keep the car from veering into a tragedy.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel "sticks" a little when driving at highway speeds. This is when lane keep assist is turned OFF. As far as I can tell this mostly happens when I'm going in a straight line. It can be unstuck fairly easily by applying pressure to turn, but something is clearly off.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
When driving at higher speeds on the freeway my steering becomes resistant. Causing over correcting. One day when it was very windy driving to work after over correction I blew into the other lane, luckily no one was close enough. Driving on the freeway for long periods of time causes hand cramps from the amount of grip it requires to keep it center lane. This is a safety issue. I have taken it to Honda on 3 separate occasions for the same issue and every time they say there is nothing wrong.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
At highway speeds, the steering wheel will stick a few degrees from center on either side when allowing the wheel to return to its neutral position. When making minor adjustments while travelling straight, the wheel will give increased resistance at the points mentioned above. This can be possibly dangerous if a driver assumes the wheel will behave normally when completing a turn or overcompensating during minor adjustments. This can be especially true during inclement weather conditions where minor adjustments or wheel sticking may affect the driver's ability to correct an otherwise avoidable traction related incident.
