2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I WENT OUT TO MOVE MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING AND WAS SHOCKED THAT MY POWER STEERING HAD SUDDENLY FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE BACKING UP. THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER IN THE DRIVEWAY (CERTAINLY CAN'T DRIVE IT ANYWHERE), AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH. 20 MINUTES LATER, IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL, BUT NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2015 HONDA CIVIC, WHICH NOW HAS 109,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WELL UNTIL RECENTLY MY ACCELERATION IS WHEN TURNING CORNERS IS VERY LOW AND THE TIRES STOP MOVING, I LOOKED UP SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE AND SAW A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, THE ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE TIRES TO STALL AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND I FEEL THIS ISNT COINCIDENCE. HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE FIXED. I DRIVE TO WORK EVERY DAY AND I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY CAR MADE A NOISE ALMOST LIKE A FLAPPING SOUND AND SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOWED CAR TO SERVICE STATION. THE CAR STARTED AND RAN - THE CAR WENT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE AND PARK BUT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS SUCH AS LEAKAGE, LIGHTS OR SLIPPING OF TRANSMISSION. JUST COMPLETEL MALFUNCTION ON A HIGHWAY 200 MILES FROM HOME. HAD THE EXPENSE OF TRANSMISSION, CAR RENTAL AND HOTEL. YOU BUY A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY AND NEVER THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON I-77 AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW. I COULD HAVE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT PULLED OFF ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO ASSESSED THE CAR SAID THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THERE IS ONLY 100,364 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD JUST STOP WORKING. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (RECALL) WITH THE 2015 HONDA CIVIC BUT MY VIN ISNT INCLUDED. HONDA KNOWS THEY NEED TO EXTENDED OR OPEN RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VINS. THIS IS HONDAS MESS UP BUY PUTTING IN A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

MY SON JUST RETURNED BACK TO COLLEGE .. .. SO GRATEFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THEN.. BUT THE NEXT DAY HE WAS DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE .. CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT.. DIDN'T DRIVE 10 FT WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELLERATION AND FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP....SO HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE WHEN IT STARTED TO GO IN REVERSE ON ITS OWN SO HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED FOR A TOW. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEB /2015. THIS HAS BEEN A DEPENDABLE CAR UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 2014/2015 RECALL BUT WASN'T FOR WHATEVER REASON. IT CLEARLY IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL IS CLAIMING. I AM SO GRATEFUL THIS DID NOT CAUSE MY SON TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT... SO FAR FROM HOME.

MY VEHICLE WAS SHOWING NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ISSUES WHEN PURCHASED AT ABOUT 28,000 MILES 11/1/18 UPON MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 39,000 MILES IT WAS NOTED THAT THOUGH TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS AT SAFE LEVELS THERE APPEARED TO BE A LEAK AS CONDENSATION WAS NOTICED BY THE THIRD PARTY OIL SERVICE TECHNICIAN. I WAS TOLD TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANY ISSUES. I DROVE MY VEHICLE WITH NO OBVIOUS ISSUES OF DRIVEWAY LEAKS OR SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE INDICATING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE IT ALSO SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. AT 43,900MILES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THE DRIVE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND MY CAR WAS MAKING A NOISE I NEVER HEARD BEFORE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION AS MY CAR JUST STOPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALL HAPPENED PRETTY QUICKLY AS THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED DUE TO NEGLIGENCE BY THE THIRD PARTY OIL TECHNICIAN REMOVING THE CAP FROM MY VEHICLE AND NOT PUTTING IT BACK. I CAN SAY THAT THE CAP WAS NOT REMOVED AS I WAS IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ONLY. THE THIRD PARTY COMPANY HAS EXPLAINED THAT THEY ALSO WOULD NOT HAVE REMOVED THE CAP AS TRANSMISSION LEVELS A DIGITALLY CHECKED FOR MY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL. ALSO THIS INCIDENT WAS 8 MONTHS AFTER THEY LAST SERVICED MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE CAP WAS REMOVED FOUND UNHINGED BY THE DEALERSHIP. BELOW ARE PHOTOS PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS TAKING MY MOM TO WORK AT AROUND 4AM. ON MY WAY BACK MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE RAN FINE, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR REVERSE. MY CAR ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS LEFT ON NEUTRAL. ONCE I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION PRETTY MUCH BLEW OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I HAD A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING. ANYWAYS I GOT A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SHORTLY AFTER (NOVEMBER 2019) I COULD FEEL MY CAR JOLTING IF I CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP OR EVEN ACCELERATED. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BINDING. THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR FEELS SOMEWHAT BETTER, BUT STILL JERKS WITH SOME STOPS. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING HAS COME UP, BUT THIS IS MY 3RD ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND USED IT FOR DAILY COMMUTES. ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 97,000-100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE SO I'M UNSURE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

VEHICLE STALL DAILY AFTER A STOP. I RETURNED IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME , "THAT WAS NORMAL!" I UNDERSTAND THE 2016 THRU 2019 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY 2015 STALLS DAILY WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP! WHAT DO I DO NEXT???

THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE IT WANTED TO STOP BUT IT WAS STILL MOVING AND THEN IT SHOOK HARD AND THEN THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING AND IT LOST ACCELERATION AND STOPPED IN THE ROAD.

MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED WITH MY SEATBELT ON WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT ON A BUSY SUBURBAN STREET. MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON AT TIMES. I WAS TOLD FIXING THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED. WHY IS THAT WHEN TAKATA B BAGS WERE REPORTEDLY RECALLED FOR THE 2015 HONDA CIVIC.
