2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

VEHICLE MILEAGE: 73,835 DESCRIPTION: OCTOBER 27TH, MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE EXPIRED AT 73,835 MILES. I WAS SITTING STILL IN THE TURN LANE OF A 4-LANE HIGHWAY WAITING TO TURN LEFT. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS I HEARD A THUMP. NOTHING LOUD OR SCARY, JUST A THUMP. NONE OF MY GEARS WOULD WORK BUT THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. SOME GOOD OLE BOYS PUSHED ME FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

LEAVING WORK THIS MORNING, I TURNED ON MY CAR AND ACTIVATED THE REAR DEFROSTER. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINTUES, MY REAR WINDOW LITERALLY EXPLODED SOUNDING LIKE A CANNON WENT OFF RIGHT BEHIND MY HEAD. I WAS DRIVING AT APROX. 15 MPH ON A EVEN ROAD SURFACE SO IVE RULED OUT VIBRATIONS AND ALSO IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES F SO HEAT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED IT FROM RAPID TEMP CHANGES. THE ONLY THING I HAVE LET TO WONDER IS IF IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER THAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO BECOME TOO HOT AND CAUSE THIS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN ANY MEASURES TO PULLING AMPS FROM THE DEFROSTER TO SEE IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER AND HAVE REFUSED TO SERVICE THIS UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IS THERE ANY RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDAS? IF SO, I MAY BE ABLE TO PROVE IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION ON 9/27/2018 IN HER 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SHE HIT HER HEAD, CHEST, AND PELVIS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW. SHE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH WHEN A CAR STARTED TO TURN IN FRONT OF HER, AND THEY COLLIDED NEARLY HEAD-ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TOWED TO OPEN ROAD HONDA (50 US-1, EDISON, NJ 08817, (732)-234-9716) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

A RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER 2015 FOR 2014 AND 2015 HONDA CIVICS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES. MY 2015 CIVIC WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND ON SEPT. 10, 2018 EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE SIMILAR TO CARS IN THE RECALL. I AM WRITING TO SEE IF THE RECALL IS BEING EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER CARS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. AMERICAN HONDA IS MAINTAINING NO RESPONSIBILITY AND REFERRED ME TO NHTSA, CLAIMING MY CAR WAS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. BUT THE TIME FRAME AND PROBLEM EXPERIENCED IS SUSPECT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, IT FELT LIKE I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN AND NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OUT THE TIRES AND THEY WERE OKAY. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR JUST JERKED WITH A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STRANDED WITH A DEAD CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL AND IT ONLY HAD 61,00 MILES ON IT!!

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT KEEP THE CAR FROM MOVING, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE AFTER YOU APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (SAM LINDER HONDA, 300 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA 93907, (831)-424-1500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I WAS SLOWLY TURNING MY VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE IN THE PARKING LOT OF A RESTAURANT. THE CAR WAS FACING THE BUILDING WITH A SIDEWALK BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE BUILDING. THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN.PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DID NOT SLOW IT DOWN AT ALL. THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPING THE CURBED SIDEWALK AND STOPPED WHEN IT CRASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF THE BUILDING. I WAS ABLE TO STEER AWAY FROM THE LARGE WINDOW THAT WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS NOON AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CUSTOMERS ON THE SIDEWALK. THE VEHICLE SUFFERED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE COSTING $7773 IN REPAIRS. I WAS EVALUATED AT THE SCENE BY AMBULANCE CREW. I HAD AN ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE AND A SORE SHOULDER/NECK. THE DEALER'S STAFF AND THE REGIONAL MANAGER INSISTED THAT THIS WAS NOT A FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT HUMAN ERROR. I KNOW I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS. THE REGIONAL MANAGER ASKED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CRASH SITE TO DEMONSTRATE FOR HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AS IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE CLEAR TO HIM THAN READING ABOUT IT. I DECLINED THIS LUDICROUS REQUEST! A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE AS WELL AS INSURANCE CLAIMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.

THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT IS DAMAGED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR LOCKED UP AND BRAKED AND THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP. THIS IS BAD LUCKILY I WAS ON A DESERTED FREEWAY AND NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS.
