2012 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT, THERE IS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE. IT HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE POWER STEERING FLUID (EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO POWER STEERING FLUID AS THE 2012 MODEL HAS AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM). THE NOISE HAS CONTINUED AND GETS WORSE. THEY TOLD ME OTHER MODELS HAD A RECALL ON THE DRIVESHAFT WHICH MAY BE THE ISSUE BUT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL.

THE SEAT IS FAR FROM ERGONOMIC INCLUDING THE HEADREST. THERE IS MINIMAL TO NO LUMBAR SUPPORT. THE HEADREST IS ANGLED CAUSING THE OCCUPANTS HEAD TO BE FORCED FORWARD IN AN UNNATURAL POSITION. THIS HAS RESULTED IN PINS AND NEEDLE SENSATION IN BOTH ARMS AND LEGS AND MULTIPLE VISITS TO MY CHIROPRACTOR. THE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT LAST LONG AFTER I AM OUT OF THE CAR LEADING TO SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

THE VEHICLE HAD A DRAGGING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND THEN A WHOLE CHUNK OF METAL FELL OFF FROM UNDER THE CAR

INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WHERE HIT BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALL PANELS OF CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE WHERE HIT GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR RAN A RED LIGHT GOING 65 SIDESWIPED US INTO A WALL AND ELECTRICAL BOX....UPDATED 09/15/15 *BF UPDATED 11/13/2017*CN

CLIMBING UP HILL THE CAR LOST SPEED AND DID NOT SHIFT GEARS. THEN IT STALLED. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND NOT FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA AND WAS NOT. IT EXHIBITS THE SAME DRIVE SHAFT PROBLEMS AS RECALLED HONDA CIVICS. WHILE DRIVING YOU ONLY NEED TO TAP THE SHIFT BY MISTAKE WITH YOUR ELBOW AND THE CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL. IT IS A DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE.

ON SATURDAY JUNE 27 AT APPROXIMATELY 1PM I HEARD A BUBBLING SOUND FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH. ONCE THE SOUND ENDED MY PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON MESSAGE NOT ACTIVATED.THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

A/C CONDENSER DAMAGED BY A ROCK, ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALER, ON MY 2012 CIVIC.MY A/C BLOWS WARM HEAT, AND THE SUMMER HAS JUST STARTED! I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. (BOUT USED AT 30K MILES). NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. INSURANCE CHARGES DEDUCTIBLE, SO NO LUCK GOING THAT ROUTE FOR ME. HONDA QUOTED ME A REPAIR AT $630 + TAX. WILL FIND IT CHEAPER AND JUST DEAL WITH, WHILE STILL COMPLAINING FOR REIMBURSEMENT OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM HONDA THAT THEY GOT THIS WRONG ON SEVERAL CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 4,000. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO IDLE AT APPROXIMATELY 4,000 RPMS. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON A SECOND TIME, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WAS INTERMITTENT. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE RPMS WOULD ALSO ERRONEOUSLY INCREASE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,500.

MY SON USED THE CAR AND HAD A FENDER BENDER SINCE THEN THE AIR BAG WARNING COMES ON AND THE BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, QUITE A NUISANCE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND NO RECALL OR SATISFACTION FROM HONDA. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR 40MPH SOMETHING HAPPENED AND SUDDENLY POWER STEERING WENT OFF ALONG WITH A MESSAGE. IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO STEER. AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER. HOWEVER PROBLEM KEEPS GOING ON. I THINK IT HAS TO BE RECALLED, TOO. *TR
