2017 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

The steering tends to stick when driving at highway speeds. This issue makes small steering movements jerky and causes over corrections

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated that while driving at certain speeds, the steering wheel would seize and become inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty or recall. The failure mileage was approximately 89,681.

The paint on my Honda Civic 2017 began peeling off the back window of my vehicle starting in 2022. I've since then paid to have it repaired, but now peeling is starting to occur on other places of the vehicle, such as the front hood, the fender, and the bumper. Honda has already admitted that a manufacturing issue involving the paint on the back window has been reported. This peeling problem is becoming too expensive to handle and Honda will not extend the paint warranty beyond the 3-year time frame. This is a serious issue as having too much of the car body exposed with lead to rusting.

AC system is manufactured poorly and fails on me, starts blowing hot air, every single summer for the past 3+ years i have bought the car from a honda dealer. When i have to drive to my job to afford to buy food and an apartment the hot air makes me light headed and impairs my ability to focus clearly on driving. The problem has been reproduced by countless other civic owners within a set manufactured model years. Yes it has been inspected by a Honda dealership. No, never any warning, messages, or alerts before or during the AC failure. Also no warnings of the faulty AC system when i purchased the car from a certified Honda Dealer.

Steering wheel gets sticky after driving over 50mph. There is already a recall on a certain 2017 Honda civic models but it doesn’t cover my car but the steering wheel issue is still there. This is a safety issue.

Fuel pump failed like other civic type rs but my vin wasn’t included caused a stall in traffic and was almost hit

The abs speed sensor on honda vehicles are placed in such a way that is breaks often. And when it breaks, it leads to multiple sensors going off which may cause the abs to lock up while braking normally, car accelerating unexpectedly.For me the speed sensor on the right wheel was broken. This lead the car to accelerate unexpectedly and then the sensors would go off. Car accelerating and braking in a weird way would definitely lead to some issues. And when you go to the dealership for this issue, first they won't be able to diagnose it. They will simple reset the codes and say uts an intermittent failure and charge you 100 dollars for nothing. Then you have to go again the other day with the same issue and then they tell you its speed sensor. I think that's a bad service and since honda knows of this beong common issue with how they have placed the sensor it should be recalled.

A/C Evaporator went bad. Dealership already replaced other A/C components as part of extended warranty/recalls. However, the evaporator is not covered by the extended warranty. Could lead to incredibly high temperatures within the car or other components failing/overheating. Dealership quoted $2400 to fix the evaporator.

Steering sticks and requires a jerky response to correct. Most noticeable when driving on highway but does occur during all types of driving.

While driving straight there is slippage in the steering that causes the driver to over compensate. Steering feels loose. I think I need to trade this vehicle in before something bad happens. Honda has very poor customer service. The dealerships are aweful and theives.
