2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

NOTICED MY VIN NUMBER LOOKS DIFFERENT AND MY SETTINGS FOR RADIO, WALLPAPER, USB AND PHONE DASH BOARD HAS CHANGED AFTER MY EX-HUSBAND TOOK CAR SUPPOSELY TO GET OIL CHANGE

TAKATA RECALL; AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE FOR NO REASON OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS FOR A FEW DAYS AT A TIME AND WILL GO OFF. HAS COME ON ONLY WHEN STATIONARY AND SHOWS UNTIL IT DECIDES TO GO OFF AFTER I'VE STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, AS IF IT NEVER WAS ON. TRANSMISSION ISSUE; TRANSMISSION PULLING/SLIPPING. WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT STALLS AND JERKS BACK. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP VEHICLE STALLS/JERKS. WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP VEHICLE JERKS CONSISTENTLY. LESS THAN 100,000 MILES.

MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC HAS PAINT PEELING OFF IN SHEETS. THE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE ISN'T MY CAR BUT OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN DRIVING. IF A SHEET OF PAINT PEELS OFF AND LANDS ON A DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD CAUSING THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THE PAINT DEFECT AND ISN'T WILLING TO THOROUGHLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY "CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT" IS ON CONSTANTLY SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG THAT IS AFFECTED. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX MY AIR BAG, BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE NEVER, EVER, EVER HEARD OF A CAR THAT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 43,000 MILES THAT NEEDS A NEW AIR BAG? THIS CAR HAS NEVER, EVER, EVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HOW DOES AN AIR BAG GO BAD THAT HAS NEVER DEPLOYED??? I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. IF I DID HAVE THE MONEY, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW AIR BAG ON A NEW CAR. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN IN USE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY NIECE WHO IS A SENIOR TO VISIT COLLEGES IN FLORIDA FOR SPRING BREAK ALL THE WAY FROM CONNECTICUT. I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR 4 FULL DAYS AND DRIVE AROUND FLORIDA AND BACK RISKING MY LIFE, HER LIFE AND HER BEST FRIEND'S LIFE. THAT IS NOT FAIR. IF I DIE, OR THE KIDS DIE, BECAUSE THEIR AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK, THAT IS NOT FAIR AND CRUEL. I PAID FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THAT ADVERTISED WORKING AIR BAGS, NOT A "LEMON". THE CAR MANUFACTURER AND TAKATA, IS BEING SHIELDED FROM HAVING TO PAY TO FIX ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS, WHILE HUMAN BEINGS WILL DIE TO SAVE THEM MONEY. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE! I DO NOT WANT TO DIE, OR KILL MY PASSENGERS BY KNOWINGLY LET THEM RIDE IN MY VEHICLE THAT HAS DEFECTIVE, NON-FUNCTIONING, DEADLY AIR BAGS. MY CAR SUPPOSEDLY IS FINE. HOW COULD THAT BE? MY AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THIS IS ALL JUST A BIG COINCIDENCE? HOW COULD A NEW CAR HAVE BROKEN TAKATA AIR BAGS? THAT DOES NOT SEEM UNUSUAL TO YOU? THIS IS COLD-BLOODED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF MONEY MY LIFE IS EXPENDABLE. WHY ISN'T MY VIN NUMBER INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW AIR BAG(S) AND PAY FOR MANY HOURS OF LABOR AT HONDA. PLEASE HELP ME!!

NOTICING RIGHT NOW JUST THE INTERMITTENT STAGE OF THIS NEW CLUTCH NOISE ON AN UPHILL/INCLINE ALSO THE INCREDIBLY COMMON VTC ACTUATOR COLD START NOISE ON BASICALLY ALL K24 VARIATIONS, STILL RESEARCHING IF THESE TWO ARE CORRELATED WHICH I BELIEVE SO AT THIS MOMENT I WRITE THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS 15' CIVIC SI 9 MONTHS AGO, 06 OF 18' WITH JUST OVER 20K. HAD THE COLD START NOISE PROBABLY 5 OR 6 MONTHS IN AS IT BECOMES WINTER AND NOW I'M GETTING CLUTCH NOISES PLUS I FEEL SLIGHT DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ AND I'VE DONE WAY TOO MUCH RESEARCH, IT STARTS OUT AS A TYPICAL NOISE EVEN HONDA CANADA THEMSELVES CLAIM AS NOTHING BUT HAD LEAD TO CASES OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO COMPLETE HEAD REPLACEMENTS TO COMPLETE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AND SOME CASES SOUNDS RETURNING DUE TO DEFECTIVE OEM DESIGN. CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE: 2015 CIVIC SI HAVE YET TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN, ONCE AGAIN BEGUN NOTICING THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE AT ONLY 27K MILES. PATHETIC

MY HONDA CIVIC 2015 WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DOVER HONDA (NH) AROUND APRIL 2016 AND HAD ~83,400 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED (JAN 2019). BEFORE THAT TIME IT WORKED PERFECTLY WELL. NO ONE HAD DONE ANY WORK ON THE CAR TO THAT POINT ASIDE FROM TIRE REPLACEMENT AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE, BUT NOTHING RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING AN EXIT RAMP OFF OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (~40 MPH GRADUAL TURNING), THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, SO SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. A VARIETY OF WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DOVER HONDA (NH). THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION FILL CAP WAS NOT ATTACHED (BUT FOUND ON THE FRAME OF THE CAR) AND A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $400. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AFTERWARDS. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO DOVER HONDA. THEY SAID THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS DAMAGED AGAIN, THEY SURMISED THAT A NEARBY SHAFT WAS HITTING IT OCCASIONALLY CAUSING THE DAMAGE. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE OPTION OF NEW OR USED REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME ANOTHER ~$100 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW A TRANSMISSION FILL CAP BEING MISSING (ASSUMING THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS MISSING) COULD ALLOW THAT MUCH CONTAMINATION INTO A TRANSMISSION TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON ONLY PAVED ROADS IN A LOW DUST ENVIRONMENT LIKE NEW ENGLAND. WHEN OPENING THE TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO COMMENT BY THE DEALER ON THE FLUID BEING TERRIBLY DIRTY. THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE THAT APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, BUT THE FAILURE MODE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO NOTICE # 15V574000. AT THIS POINT I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AFEW DAYS AGO AND I'M ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE HOLDING.THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW ISSUED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT TODAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND TO EXPECT IT. THAT IS UNEXCEPTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I'M WAS READING THE 2014 HONDA CIVIC HAS A RECAP FOR THIS PROBLEM.. WHY HAS THE 2015 NOT BEEN RECALLED? IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE HONDA!!!

OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR. INTERMITTENT FAILURE AT THIS TIME.

THERE IS A BUZZ/VIBRATING SOUND WHEN THE AIR BLOWER IS ON. THERE IS A CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THERE FOR HONDA CIVIC 2012 SERVICE BULLETIN 13-041. THIS SHOULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ALL HONDA CIVIC 2015.

THE WELDS AND THE FRAME ON THE SUBWOOFER HAS STARTED TO FAIL AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE THAT I ATTACHED...
