2012 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THERE IS A LEAK FROM MY GAS TANK. CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION. TOOK TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC RAN AND THERE IS NO RAMAGE, RUST, RODANT CHEWING, OR PUNCTURE. IT IS LEAK FROM THE TANK/ WHERE THE CONNECTOR VALVE IS. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY FROM THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL 3 PM ON FRIDAY IN MY PARKING SPOT BEHIND THE HOUSE. GOING OUT OT MY CAR I TURNED IT ON, FINISHED PUTTING MY THINGS IN THE TRUNK. PRECEDED TO GET INTO THE CAR AND I SMELLED GAS EVEN STRONGER. I ALMOST DROVE OFF BUT THE SMELL WAS OVERPOWERING I WAS AFRAID. I DECIDED TO TURN CAR OFF AND STEP AWAY 4 FEET WHERE I STILL COULD SMELL GAS. I SAW IT LEAKING. IT WAS TAKEN AWAY BY A TOW TRUCK.

WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND I TAKE OFF THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE. CAR ONLY HAS 30,700 MILES

VEHICLE CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND I AM AFRAID IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

THE ODOMETER (MILE COUNTER), THE MILES PER GALN COUNTER CEASED WORKING. LOOKS LIKE A SOFTWARE FAILURE.

FOR QUITE A FEW THOUSAND MILES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN A PERSON OR BAG IS IN TE SEAT. IT'S COMES ON AND OFF, IT IS VERY UNAETTLING

I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND SAID THE CONTROL UNIT WAS WORKING OKAY. THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY CAR AFTER IT BEING FIXED, I LOSE POWER STEERING AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND IT WAS FINE. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO BE CHECKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHECKERED FLAG HONDA (6541 E VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, NORFOLK, VA 23502 (757) 490-1111), BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GWINNETT PLACE HONDA (3325 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH, GA 30096, (678) 274-6206) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,312.

I BELIEVE IT IS THE MOTOR MOUNT CAUSING THE VIBRATIONS WHEN I START THE CAR AND BACK UP. THE VIBRATIONS STOP WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. NO MORE VIBRATIONS UNTIL NEXT DAY AND PROBLEM RESUMES. CAR ONLY HAS 28808 MILES.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE CAUSING ME TO STOP THE CAR ABRUBETLY. LUCKILY I WASN`T HIT AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR NEARLY 37 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. OTHER OWNERS OF 2012 HONDA CIVICS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND TAKING MY COMPLAINT.
