2014 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX JUST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING NOTIFICATION GOING OFF SPORADICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AFTER RUNNING IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER. IT WENT OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND NOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WITH OR WITHOUT PEOPLE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIT. I HAPPEN ONLY ONCE I START DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT TO MOVING. I'VE NOTICED THAT OTHER HONDA'S HAVE HAD SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WHEN SEARCHING THE NET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL IMPACT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I BELIEVE IT'S A SEAT SENSOR GONE BAD BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE RESIDENCE. A DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. *BF CONSUMER WAS TOLD SOFTWARE WAS OUTDATED.*JB

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AT A STOP SIGN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AT 49K MILES. WAS DRIVING FROM MY PARENT'S DRIVEWAY TO SAID STOP SIGN, AROUND 100FT. STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN, TRIED TO MOVE AND GOT NO TRACTION. NEXT DAY HAD IT TOWED, INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. BROUGHT IT TO KRENZEN HONDA IN DULUTH, MN, THEY SAID TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. THERE WAS NO SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE FOR THE POWER TRAIN BEFOREHAND. HONDA OF AMERICA IS CLAIMING I DIDN'T PERFORM REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THAT MAINTENANCE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. HONDA OF AMERICA IS REFUSING TO FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND FOR THIS FAILURE MODE (CVT BEING DESTROYED) BUT ODDLY ENOUGH NOT MY CAR. THIS SHOWS THAT THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL LIABLE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. SERVICE TECH AT KRENZEN SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY.

AS I WAS DRIVING AND REACHED 40MPH, A NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON MY SCREEN THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK MY AIRBAG. NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF.

THE DISPLAY ON MY '14 CIVIC SHOWED "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CLEARED THE CODE TO SEE IF IT CAME BACK. IT DID ABOUT 8-DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE CABLE REEL IN THE STEERING COLUMN. PROBLEM SOLVED, WARNING MESSAGE WENT AWAY. 3 MONTHS LATER, "CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM" LIGHT COMES BACK ON. CARRYING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY(12/09/19) FOR INSPECTION.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND IT TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE I HAVE TO PUT THE GAS PUDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND VIBRATION ON THE SEAT IT'S A CVTS TRANSMISSION IT WAS THE PULLY THAT WAS FIXED ON THE LAST RECALL I'M DRIVING A LOANER CAR IS THERE ANY RECALL ON THE SLIPPING OR CVTS IN GENERAL THANKS

I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND PARKED CAR IN A LOT. UPON RETURN TO THE CAR, IT STARTED UP BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE WHEN I PLACED GEAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE DESPITE TURNING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT BACK UP. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED CAN RESULT IN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE HAD NEVER GOTTEN NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAD NOT MOVED ADDRESSES. CAR HAD LESS THAN 58K MILES UNDER THE 60K MILES POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OVER THE 5 YRS PERIOD. AMERICAN HONDA WAS ONLY WILLING TO PAY 50/50 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS LUCKY THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED AS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SOME MAJOR ACCIDENT LOSING POWER WITH NO ADVANCED NOTICE AND HAVING NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE FEEL IF THIS RECALL WAS SENT OUT AND IT WAS CORRECTED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT TO BEGIN WITH. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND SCARY TO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER CARS LIKE MINE OUT THERE WHICH AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND PUTTING HARM IN THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG TRIP AT 50 MPH AND TOWING AN APPROVED TRAILER, THE RPMS WENT UP AND DOWN. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED UP AND DOWN HILLS SLUGGISHLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES LATER AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AGAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO BORMAN HONDA (280 W BOUTZ RD, LAS CRUCES, NM 88005, (575) 525-4500). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PULLING THE TRAILER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS APPROVED BY U-HAUL TO PULL THE TRAILER AND THERE HAD BEEN NO ISSUES IN THE PAST. THE CONTACT PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,297.

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP IN WHICH I REAR ENDED A LARGE PASSENGER VAN AT 35+ MPH WHILE THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK THEY DID BECAUSE I HAVE AN AIRBAG NOTIFICATION TO "CHECK AIRBAG" THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY

MY CAR HAS 41K MILES ON IT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE A/C SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND HOT AIR WAS BLOWING. I ALSO HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC A DAY LATER, AND AFTER A FULL DAY OF DIAGNOSTICS, THEY DETERMINED THE ENTIRE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT NEEDS REPLACING. THEY COULD NOT FIND THIS PART FROM ANY DEALER, AND NONE OF THEM HAD A RELEASE DATE FOR THE PART COMING IN. THERE WERE ALSO NO AFTER MARKET MODELS OF THIS PART MADE. THEY CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY WHO SAID THEY ARE RELEASING SOME 9/29/19 AND YOU CAN PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN, BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE TO RECEIVE ONE BECAUSE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED THIS PART. SEVERAL PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IF NONE ARE IN STOCK, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, IT LIKELY MEANS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART, AND HONDA MAY BE HOLDING OFF ON RELEASING MORE. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR CURRENTLY BECAUSE IF THE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT LOCKS UP IT COULD AFFECT THE ENTIRE BELT WHICH CONNECTS ALL PARTS OF MY CAR, CAUSING IT TO BE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DRIVE. I ALSO LIVE IN TEXAS, AND IT IS IN THE 100S, AND I DON'T HAVE AC WHICH IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL.
