2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I HAVE A 2015 HONDA CIVIC WITH THE LX TRIM PACKAGE. THE SCREEN FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SMALL AND BACK ABOUT 3 INCHES UNDER THE DASH OVERHANG. IN BRIGHT DAYLIGHT THIS SCREEN IS UNREADABLE DURING BACKUP DUE TO LIGHT WASHOUT AND GLARE. IT WORKS WELL AT NIGHT, BUT ALMOST NOT AT ALL IN SUNLIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MOUNTED REAR WINDOW THERE IS NO VISIBILITY FOR SEVERAL FEET BEHIND THE CAR WHEN BACKING UP WITHOUT THE BACKUP CAMERA. I HAVE BACKED INTO SEVERAL THINGS THAT DID NOT STICK UP ABOVE THE TRUNK LINE THAT COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN A SMALL CHILD. THIS CAR HAS THE WORST DAYLIGHT BACKUP VISIBILITY OF ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I BELIEVE IT IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE SUN REFLECTED STRONGLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DIRECTLY AT THE COMPUTER DIGITAL AREA, WHICH ABSTRACTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES ON THE ROAD SHOULDER TO REGAIN SIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT HE MAY CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER; THE DEALER ADVISED THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

NOTICED A SHUDDER WITH VEHICLE DURING 1ST WEEK OF PURCHASE. THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD SINCE BEING A NEW CAR. ASSUMED THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH REGARDS TO BREAK IN OF VEHICLE. 2ND WEEK OF OWNERSHIP ON MY WAY TO WORK, NOTICED THE SHUDDER MULTIPLE TIMES DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS SHUDDER LATER TRANSITIONED INTO A KNOCK OR PINGING OF SOME SORT WHILE JERKING AND ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT. VERY SCARY AT THIS POINT...GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND PARKED THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. UPON START UP, VEHICLE STILL IDLING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO GET TO WORK SO JUST BRAKED MOST OF THE WAY AND DROVE WITH ADDED CAUTION. AFTER WORK, CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY ON MY WAY HOME WITH ECON AND AIR CON BOTH OFF. SHUDDER IS STILL PRESENT TO THIS DAY DURING LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCELERATION AT 30 - 40 MPH. I AM FEARFUL OF USING THE ECON AND AIR CON TOGETHER AS THIS WORSENS THE PROBLEM. HONDA AND THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

DRIVING UNDER 30 MPH IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA A CAT CROSSED MY PATH. I SWIVERD TO THE RIGHT SCRAPPED A PARKED CAR AND HIT MY BREAKS HARD AND MY FRONT AXLE WENT OUT. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE PRACTICALLY CAME OUT LEAVING THE CAR WRECKED

VEHICLE VIBRATES WITH NOISE WHEN IN REVERSE MODE. DEALER AND HONDA CLAIM IT IS NORMAL. IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ALREADY WIDELY KNOWN TO MANY HONDA OWNERS. THE VIBRATION HAPPENS MORE WITH ECON MODE IS SWITCHED ON. THIS CREATES THE FEELING THAT THIS CAR ENGINE IS NOT MOUNTED WELL AND IT COULD LEAD TO MAJOR ACCIDENT DURING DRIVING. THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ALREADY CHANGED THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS ONLY WHEN CAR HAS LOW MILEGE.

9/22/2015 APPROXIMATELY AROUND 3:30PM I WENT TO START MY CAR TO LEAVE MY HOME TO DO AN ERRAND. I SMELL GASOLINE. I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ABOUT THE SMELL. I PROCEED TO DRIVING TO MY DESTINATION. I WAS ABOUT MILE FROM MY HOME, ANOTHER CAR PULLED UP BESIDE ME AND HONKED HORN INFORMED ME THAT CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND SAW CAR WAS LEAKING CAR. I OPEN GAS DOOR TO SEE IF GAS CAP WAS OFF CHAMBERS. IT WAS NOT. I TURN CAR AROUND AND PROCEED BACK HOME. WHILE HEADING BACK HOME OTHER CARS HONKED AT ME AND INFORMED ME OF LEAKAGE. AFTER I GOT I HAD MY HUSBAND TO CHECK THE CAR. THE WHEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF THE CAR STOP LEAKING FUEL. WHEN TURNED BACK ON IT START LEAKING AGAIN. HE SAW THE LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL LINE. I CALLED DEALERSHIP (CREST HONDA) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR TOW TO DEALERSHIP. 9/23/15 RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT A RODENT HAD EATEN THROUGH MY FUEL LINE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE 9/22/15. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR DAILY. I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR ON 9/21/15 DOING ERRANDS AND THERE WERE NOT ANY SIGNS OF SMELLING GAS OR FUEL LEAKAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A RODENT COULD HAVE EATEN THROUGH MY FUEL OVERNIGHT. THERE WERE 3 OTHER CARS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. I HAVE BEEN AT MY RESIDENCE FOR 20 YEARS NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A CAR OF A RODENT EATING THROUGH A FUEL LINE OR ANY OTHER ITEMS ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY HOME. I PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW 2/2015 ONLY OWNER.

WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUTSIDE THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IMAGE IS SO DARK THAT THE CAMERA IS NOT A RELIABLE TOOL FOR USE BACKING THE CAR UP, THUS, IT IS NOT PERFORMING AS DESIGNED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500. UPDATED 10/26/15. *JB
