2012 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA CARS OF AIKEN (550 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WARRENVILLE, SC 29851, (803) 663-3636) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG 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 110,000.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2012 IS HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM COVERED UNDER A "HONDA SERVICE BULLITIN 14-058". THE "CHECK POWER STEERING ALERT" APPEARS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND GOES OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE NOT LOSING POWER STEERING ASSIST, SO FAR). HONDA DEALER SUGGESTS SERVICING WHEN CAR ACTUALLY LOSES STEERING POWER.

WHILE DRIVING , OR ONCE I TURN THE CAR ON THE CHECK AIRBAG WORDS COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD, IT COMES UP OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE LAST HONDA CIVIC I OWNED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS CHECK EMISSION AND CHECK TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ERROR. WHEN I RESTART THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES WHEN I PUT IT IN D POSITION. I TOOK THE CAR FOR REPAIR AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY IN MID-WAY AND ALSO THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION MIGHT GET EFFECTED.

THE AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS POPPING ON WHEN I AM DRIVING. THEN I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN LEAN TO THEIR LEFT AWAY FROM THE DOORS IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG SING TO GO OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE AIRBAG OFF SIGN WILL POP ON. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. THE SIGN WILL POP ON WHILE I'M AT A LIGHT, OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, OR TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CENTER SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL DEVELOPED A CRACK. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE AIR BAG DURING DEPLOYMENT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

FRONT END COLLISION. 30 MPH. RAN INTO STOPPED CAR AHEAD. AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY CAR (MANUAL) WAS PARKED IN FIRST GEAR ON AN INCLINE IN MY JOBSITE PARKING LOT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. WITHIN 1-2HRS IT ROLLED BACK NEARLY HITTING MY PLACE OF BUSINESS AND AN AC UNIT. IT IS ALL ON CAMERA. IT ROLLED SOME, THEN STOPPED, THEN AGAIN ROLLED AND STOPPED. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS IN THE PAST BUT I TYPICALLY HAVE THE E-BRAKE ENGAGED. DAYS BEFORE, I WAS SITTING IN MY SAME VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND IT JERKED SUDDENLY. IT DID NOT ROLL BACK AT THIS TIME.

I AM EXPERIENCING VERY RAPID REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR ON MY CIVIC. IT IS A 2012 MODEL, AND IS DRIVEN QUITE NORMALLY AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE TO AND FROM WORK DAILY. IN 2015 AT ABOUT 60K MILES, THE REAR PADS WERE WORN TO 0%. I WAS SURPRISED, BUT REPLACED THEM THEN. JUST RECENTLY, AT ABOUT 80K MILES, I AM JUST HAD MY MECHANIC REPORT THEY'RE BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 10% LIFE AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT SOON. THIS IS UNNATURALLY FAST, IS EXPENSIVE, AND UNSAFE AS MECHANICS AND CONSUMERS ARE USED TO REAR BRAKES WEARING MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN FRONT BRAKES. IN THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL PADS, AND ARE SHOWING ABOUT 35% LIFE REMAINING - THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. I'VE READ AROUND ON FORUMS ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR OTHER CIVIC OWNERS.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON 5/16/2017 @ 645 AM. TEMPERATURE WAS UPPER 60S WITH CALM WEATHER. THE GLASS COVERED THE FRONT SEATS OF THE VEHICLE.
