2014 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

Automatic steering keeps going off (warning light is coming on the dash) and he has to steer manually; unable to do so in a safe manner; steering essentially locked

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY I STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STARTED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL I PUSHED ON THE GAS A LITTLE MORE AND IT CONTINUED TO JERK AT EACH STOP LIGHT WHEN I ACCELERATED. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON NO CODES AND IT JUST HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITH OUT WARNING . I PARKED IT AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE FOLLOWING MORNING

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREETS WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE THE CAR ACT ERRATIC STOP AND GO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD CONTROL IT AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS SO GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PURCHASE THE CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2015. I ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SERVICE WAS DUE. AND TWO YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD WENT OVER 100K MILES SO I HAD TO PAY $2000 TO REPLACE IT. AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO BE PAYING $2000 AGAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CTV TRANSMISSION, UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I PURCHASE THE CAR USED I WANTED TO SEE IF THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS THE COMPLETE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. SOME WITH LOW MILEAGE LIKE MY SECOND TRANSMISSION AND MOST OF THEM FAIL AROUND 100K. I KNOW NOTHING LAST FOR EVER, AND I WILL PAY $2000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IF I CAN BE SURE THAT IT WILL NOT JUST ALL OUT OF THE BLUE LOCKUP OR BRAKE PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER

DRIVING ON 95 NORTH AROUND 4PM MONDAY 03/29/2021 WHEN TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE WERE NO LOUD NOISES, NO SERVICE WARNINGS OR LIGHTS. CAR HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS LAST SERVICED IN 2018 AT 60,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE RECORDS. THE RECALL (NHTSA ID: 15V574000) WAS PERFORMED IN 2016 WHICH WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO A MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, CAR DEVELOPS A ELECTRICAL DRAIN TO BATTERY. BATTERY WILL SLOWLY DISCHARGE UNTIL DEAD OVER 2-4 DAYS. NOTHING ABOUT THIS OR HOW TO PREVENT THIS IN MANUAL. NOTHING IN MANUAL ON HOW TO CORRECT.

TRANSMISSION FILL PLUG POPPED OUT OF ITS POSITION ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION FILL PORT. CAUSING LEAKING TRANS FLUID AND NOW TRANSMISSION FAILED.

TRANSMISSION FILL PLUG POPPING OUT OF ITS POSITION ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION FILL PORT. CAUSING LEAKING TRANS FLUID AND POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. DEALERSHIP HAS CHECKED THIS ISSUE 1 TIME AND STATES THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. LESS THAN 3 DAYS LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED.

YESTERDAY THE CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON MY 2014 HONDA. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC CHECK THE ERROR CODE, HE CONFIRMED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY AIRBAG INFLATOR. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY ONCE A WEEK. THE ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON AND STARTED DRIVING.

ON JANUARY 17,2021, I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF MY CARS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR REVED BUT DIDN'T PICK UP SPEED. I PULLED OVER OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CAR WOULD START BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AN HOUR AWAY AND THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO BE $6000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID MY SPECIFIC CAR HAD NO RECALLS ON IT AND THAT SOMETIMES THINGS JUST BREAK. THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OTHERWISE.

AT 87,200 OR SO MILES, THE SYSTEM FAIL ALERT FOR AIRBAG CAME ON AND WE TOOK TO MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE, THEN WE TOOK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. SYSTEM CHECK SAID IT WAS DRIVER AIRBAG ISSUE, MECHANIC CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE . AT THE DIAGNOSTIC INDICTED TO REPLACE CABLE REEL (379.00) REPLACED AND LIGHT STAYED OFF AT DEALERSHIP AT 87,588. LIGHT CAME BACK ON NEXT DAY. IS THE AIRBAG DEFECTIVE AND HONDA IS NOT ADMITTING IT? DOES THIS AIRBAG NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED? I AM FOLLOWING UP WITH DEALERSHIP TODAY. CAR SERVICED THE 18TH, LIGHT CAME BACK ON 19TH OF JANUARY 2021, I AM FOLLOWING UP TODAY WITH DEALERSHIP. IS THIS UNSAFE TO DRIVE? WILL DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOY?
