2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG COME FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE MOONROOF HAD UNEXPECTEDLY SHATTERED. HEATER WAS ON, WEATHER WAS AROUND 60 FAHRENHEIT IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN THE MOONROOF SHATTERED, I WAS NO WHERE NEAR AN OVER PASS; I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE EXTERIOR CAUSED THE DAMAGE. GLASS SHATTERED OUTWARD, BUT BITS STILL FELL WITHIN THE VEHICLE. PHOTO CAN CORROBORATE OUTWARD TRAJECTORY.

CAR ENTERED A PARKING SPOT WITH THE CLUCH PLACED IN PARK. SUDDENLY THE CAR ABRUPTLY STARTED WENT OVER THE CURB WAS STOPPED BY A CAR PARKED OPPOSITE SIDE. ABOUT 15 MIN. LATER THE LIGHTS WENT ON. THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT WHEN PLACED IN PARK.

WHILE DRIVING I FELT A VIBRATION. ABOUT 15 MILES LATER THE RPMS WERE HIGH AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR ROAD GOING UP HILL. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND KEEP INSISTING THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SWITCH, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BURNT AND THE CAR'S DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM STILL DOES NOT REGISTER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEIR ESTIMATE CLAIMS: "REPLACE TRANSMISSION (DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY, DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY)"

VEHICLE ( MILEAGE 70,511 ) WAS ABOUT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, WHEN I HEAR A NOISE IN THE POWER TRAIN LIKE A POP SOUND, THEN START LOOSING POWER AND STOP. I KNOW IS A RECALL ON 2014 -15 HONDA CIVIC BUT WHEN I USE THE VIN DOEN NOT SHOW ON THE SYSTEM HONDA DEALER IS NOT ACCEPTING MY CAR FOR REPLACING MY TRANSMITION AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER ...'''''CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON 2014 . I NEED HELP.

AS I STARTED TO DRIVE I NOTICED THAT WAS RUNNING REALLY SLOW AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE.AFTER 2 MILES I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO MY WORKPLACE.AS SOON IT REACHED UPHILL THE CAR WAS DRIVING BACKWARD.THIS IS 3 YR OLD CAR,THE AUTO REPAIR GUY SAID ITS THE TRANSMISSION. I FIND IT ODD FOR A 3 YR OLD CAR WITH 75,500 MILES ONLY.ALSO FIRST WEEK WHEN I HAD IT THE TIRE PRESSURE KEPT COMING ON. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A SENSOR PROBLEM OR MAYBE SOFTWARE BUT THE CAR COMPANY DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT KEPT TELLING ME IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WEATHER.THE LIGHT IS ON FOR 3 YRS NOW SO HOW DO I REALLY KNOW IF MY TIRES ARE OK OR NOT..MY CAR WENT TO HYDROPLANE ONE WHEN RAINSTORM AND COME TO FIND OUT MY TIRES WERE BAD AND BEC THE TIRE PRESSUE LIGHT WAS ON ALL THE TIME IT DIDN'T REALLY GAVE ME A REAL WARNING REGARDING MY TIRES.THE CAR DEALERSHIP COMPANY JUST IGNORED ME.DO THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I REALLY HAVE A BAD WRECK?? PLS. HELP ME,I REALLY WANT HONDA CARE TO KNOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.THANK YOU.

ABOUT 15 SECONDS ENTERING THE FREEWAY I DECIDED TO MERGE. AS I ACCELERATED I HEARD SOMETHING POP OR LIKE A CLUNK/THUMP SOUND, LIKE SOMETHING HAD SHIFTED, THEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS MY RPM WAS MOVING BUT MY CAUSE WAS NOT. GOOD THING I WAS STILL ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON. ENGINE WAS FINE, IT STARTED BUT I MY CAR WASN'T MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS ON DRIVE. I TRIED TO REVERSE MY CAR BUT IT MOVED VERY LITTLE AS WELL. SOUNDS LIKE MY PROBLEM REFLECTS THE RECALL ON 2014-2015 HONDA CIVIC CARS REGARDING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, ALTHOUGH A RECALL DOESN'T SHOW WHEN TYPING MY VIN.

THE CAR HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AS TOLD TO ME BY HONDA DEALER WITH THE PRESSAURE PLAYER SPRINGS FAILING CAUSING LOUD GRINDR NOISE. IT HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR ON THESE CARS. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVICS FORUMS LIST THE PROBLEM AS A PRESSURE PLATE. HONDA IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE 2800 TO FIX A PLROBLEM THEY KNOW IS WITH A FLAWED PART. WHEN SITTING IN FIRST GEAR AND YOU LET THE CLUTCH OUT THE CAR MEMAKES A GRINDR NOISE. ONE HONDA FORUM LIST OVER 52 PAGES OF PEOPLE ADDRESSING HAVING THIS ISSUE.

CAR WAS STATIONARY SITTING IN DRIVE-WAY. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD AS SOON AS CAR WAS TURNED ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT TWO ISSUES MIGHT BE THE CAUSE: FRONT RIGHT IMPACT SENSOR FAILURE ($300ISH TO REPLACE) OR SRS MOTHERBOARD FAILURE ($1400 TO REPLACE). HONDA IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR ANY SAFETY FAILURES ON THE CAR BECAUSE, "VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY". SO EVEN THOUGH THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANY MOMENT OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED (LIKE A CAR CRASH); IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE PAID FOR BY THE LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER TO REPLACE. I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR SERVICED YET, MIGHT DECIDE TO GO WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN HONDA FOR SERVICING. SIDE NOTE: CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OF ANY NATURE AND HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP.
