My husband hit a deer on the highway. The seatbelts locked up but the air bags did not physically engage. We took it into the repair shop today and they said that the airbag system DID in fact tell them to engage, but the air bags did not physically come out. The side by each seat belt opened up but the airbags did not come out, nor did the front air bags come out. If this would have been a worse accident, the occupants of the car would have been injured due to no airbags going off. An independent service center has confirmed that this is what happened. Insurance still has to go out an inspect the vehicle but it is planned to be done. There were no warning messages prior to the failure.

While driving a loud pop was heard. Smoke started coming out of the seatbelt retractor track. Seatbelt would then not retract. The local service shop said that a CO2 cartridge that locks the seatbelt had burst and there are substantial safety concerns with the vehicle now. Uploading the service quote below.

These cars have horrendous AC issues. A spotlight needs to be on put on it. Broken AC can subject drivers to dangerously high temperatures in the cabin, even if the windows are rolled down in some climates. Honda, the maker of these vehicles, is still answerable for the supplier of the compressor/ac system, Keihin's, failures. There are many of us, but we haven't been able to connect the dots to see how many have truly been affected. I nearly suffered heatstroke driving this car. Was dizzy the night of at home, with outdoor temperatures reaching triple digits (Fahrenheit).

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the rear door locks were making squeaking sounds and the alarm would inadvertently be engaged at night. The contact stated that the vehicle would fail turn off and would go into ACC mode. The contact was unable to lock the doors. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the BCM had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V771000 (Electrical System, Back Over Prevention, Visibility/Wiper, Visibility, Exterior Lighting) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 39,500.

Ac blowing hot out of driver side only. Repaired under extended warranty in 2020 due to faulty ac condenser that Honda now admits was a problem. Now that the car is out of extended warranty (by 4 months) the ac evaporator goes out and they want me to pay $2,000 to fix cause it wasn’t listed on the service bulletin. So ridiculous the entire system is faulty and There is no telling when it will go out again. Honda needs recall or extend the service bulletin to cover the entire system.. absolutely ridiculous!!!

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Steering, yes available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes, the steering gets "stuck" in position while driving and takes extra force to "break" it free and regain control. At first it was only noticeable ay highway speeds but now it is noticeable on regular road ways. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Has not been seen by dealer because out of warranty and I feel this should be a recalled item. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages appear.

AC evaporator core failure. It appears Honda Civic has AC problems. This is the second time the AC has stopped working.

This is a general concern, not a particular incident. My 2017 Civic SI (as well as my friend's nearly identical 2019 Civic SI and others I'm aware of) has backup camera issues at night. Daytime is fine, but at night the image is so "speckled" and unclear that it is often nearly useless. 2015 Civics did not have this problem (I had one and my wife currently still does).
