2012 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO A MINOR ACCIDENT WHERE I HIT SOMEONE FROM THE BACK WITH NO DAMAGE TO MY OR THEIR VEHICLE HOWEVER MY AIRBAG CAME OUT.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR,WE BEEN DRIVING IT NORMALLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR FOR THE PAST WEEK

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT TK HOLDINGS INC. FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET NEW AIR BAGS PLACED INTO MY VEHICLE. SINCE THIS NOTICE OF DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HONDA ABOUT REPLACING MY AIRBAGS,I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT PLEASE HELP. SINCERELY,[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THY FRONT OF THY CAR WAS CRUSHED. MY CAR IS DEEMED A LOSS AND TOTAL . THE AIRBAGS NEVER WENT OFF .I WAS DRIVING AN STRUCK A BUCK KILLING HIM INSTANTLY. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND HAVE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION FROM THE ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY WITH A SOFT TOUCH/CONTACT TO A TRASH BIN. CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 3 MILES PER HOUR! AT THE SAME TIME THE SEAT BELT IT LOCKED IN AN EXTENDED POSITION. THERE MOST DEFINITELY IS A DEFECT IN THIS AIR BAG AT NO EXPLAINABLE MANNER CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED AT A REASON TO HAVE AN AIRBAG DEPLOY AT LESS THAN 5 MILE PER HOUR!

RECENTLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING A SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, AND A TENDENCY TO OVER-REV, AS WELL AS SPOTTING IN MY PARKING SPACE. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, OCCURRING MAINLY IN THE MORNING. AFTER TWO DAYS, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK, AND AFTER CLEANING THE UNDERCARRIAGE, HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. UPON ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL DRIVING POWER. HE INSPECTED IT AGAIN, AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT LEFT DRIVE SHAFT HAD SLIPPED OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOUSING, ALLOWING ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT. WHILE SHOPPING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, I FOUND MENTION OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM BEING REPORTED IN THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLES, REQUIRING A RECALL.

I STARTED MY PACKED CAR BUT REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WAS SO STIFF/HARD THAT L COULD NOT STEER IT ,AFTER WHICH IT PRODUCED A SHARP SOUND AND L LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR .I PUMPED MY FOOT BREAKS BUT TO AVAIL ,I MANAGED AND GOT TO A NEIGHBOR DRIVEWAY WHERE I PUT IT ON PACK AND RAISE THE HAND BREAKS .I HAD A WARNING MESSAGE SAYING THAT L SHOULD CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM .I TOLLED THE CAR TO A MECHANICS AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT HE DIDNOT NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM .WHILE ON THE DRIVEWAY ,I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN BUT IT WILL MOVING ON IT OWN ,SO L HAD THREE PEOPLE WHO CAME AND PUSHED FROM BEHIND IN ORDER FOR ME TO PACK IT STRAIGHT. I ALMOST THE HIT THE LADY'S CAR ON HER DRIVEWAY .MY CAR IS STILL WITH THE MECHANIC.

RECENTLY THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INDICATOR STARTED TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREET, WHICH STAYED ON (INCLUDING IN HIGHWAY) UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHOUT NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL. LAST WEEK, THE INDICATOR TURNED ON AGAIN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE "CHECK THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM" WHILE DRIVING IN THE LOCAL WAY, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STIFF AND UNABLE TO MAKE ANY TURN. TO GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAD TO TURN OFF AND ON THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE. I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), WHICH LOOKED FINE. I CALLED SEVERAL AUTO SERVICE SHOPS AND THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM IS WEIRD AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE, I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT ITS SAFETY IN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN HIGH SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS AN USED ONE FROM A DEALER 3 YEARS AGO. ALL WARRANTIES HAVE EXPIRED. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO OPEN SAFETY RECALLS.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAY A MESSAGE STATING, "PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS OFF" BOTH AT REST AND IN MOTION. THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND REMAINS ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN DISAPPEARS. THE HONDA SERVICE TEAM IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A FAILURE AS THEY FEEL IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. IF A PERSON MOVES WHILE SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THIS MESSAGE APPEARS. PER A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THIS IS A USER ERROR AS THEY EXPECT A PERSON WILL SIT ENTIRELY STILL FOR THE WHOLE RIDE. ANY MOVEMENT CAN CAUSE THAT MESSAGE TO APPEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC GLASS COVER ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS MELTING AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO BECOME BLURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS BEGINNING TO FAIL IN THE SAME MANNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWAY OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.
