2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT OF THE MALL MY SUNROOF JUST POPPED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. NOTHING HIT MY ROOF JUST POPPED.

WHILE TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS IN CITY DRIVING, THE CAR TENDS TO LURCH FORWARD. CONCERNED ABOUT TAKATA AIRBAG- BEFORE I BOUGHT VEHICLE ASKED IF ONE WAS INSTALLED AND/ OR AIRBAG MANUFACTURER. COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER AND WAS TOLD TO BUY A 2015 "JUST TO BE SAFE". IN LIGHT OF THE 2015 VW TAKATA AIRBAG THAT JUST RUPTURED I WOULD LIKE ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO AS I BOUGHT THE CAR . IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT TAKATA WOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE PUTTING AIRBAGS IN WITHOUT KNOWING THE CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED UPON START UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS DUE TO THE MATERIAL BEING MADE OF SOY BASED MATERIAL THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

MY REAR VIEW CAMERAS IS EXTREMELY DARK AND DANGEROUS TO USE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUN (I BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL THAT WAY) I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PORT CHARLOTTE FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWI TIMES AND AFTER 3 EMPLOYEES AGREED YOU CAN NOT SEE WELL ENOUGH OUT OF IT TO BE ABLE TO USE IT THEY HAD ME BRING IT BACK SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR MASTER TECH CALL A COMPANY MASTER TECH TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM AND IT WOULD TAKE 3 TO 4 HOURS. THE RESULT THEY GAVE ME IN WRITING WAS "WORKING AS DESIGNED". THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN AS MY 2012 HONDA CRV WORKED GREAT AND THE 2013 HONDA CIVICS WORKED GREAT. THEY CHANGED THE CAMERA IN THE CIVIC IN 2014, I THINK THEY ARE ALL BAD TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE LOWER MOTOR MOUNTS AND SIDE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPOSITIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 896.

VIBRATION ON THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE (THE CONSOLE)WHEN IN IDLE WITH OR WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THERE IS VIBRATION. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND TURNING A CORNER UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ UPDATED 09/17/15*LJ UPDATED 11/15/2017*CN

I LEASED A NEW 2015 HONDA CIVIC FROM OURISMAN HONDA IN BETHESDA, MARYLAND IN JUNE 2015. SHORTLY AFTER THIS PURCHASE, I STARTED TO SEE SMALL PALE SPIDERS IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN A SPIDER IN ANY CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED. I SEE ABOUT 1 SPIDER A WEEK AND MOST RECENTLY, THIS MORNING JULY 11TH INVOLVING A SPIDER ABOUT 1/2 AN INCH IN DIAMETER AND AN OFF-WHITE/PALE COLOR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND MY COMPLAINT WAS GREETED WITH BOTH INCREDULITY AND MIRTH. ONE OF THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID THAT SPIDERS ARE PART OF NATURE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM FILING THIS REPORT WITH DOT AS WELL AS THE STATE OF MD AND OURISMAN IN HOPES THAT HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE (INCLUDING MYSELF) GETS INTO A CAR ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH A CVT. I CAN RELIABLY REPRODUCE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) STUTTERS OR JERKS WHEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATING AT IN-TOWN SPEEDS (E.G., 10-40 MPH). IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING FROM A SLOW SPEED (E.G., 10-20 MPH) AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING. A REAR END COLLUSION COULD TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE HESITATION OF ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DELLA HONDA DEALERSHIP IN NEW YORK STATE, BUT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSB); SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO TROUBLESHOOT OR DIAGNOSIS THE TROUBLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HOOKED UP MY CAR TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND NO SERVICE CODES OR OUT-OF-SPEC MESSAGES APPEARED, SO THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TROUBLE WITH THE CVT, BUT HONDA IS RESISTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TROUBLE. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 4,864 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARED TO RESOLVE THE TROUBLE.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR ON APRIL 11, 2015. DON'T DRIVE THE CAR EVERYDAY. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME I AM IN THE CAR, EVEN FOR SHORT DISTANCES, I GET REALLY SICK--HEADACHE, NAUSEA, TIGHTNESS IN THE HEAD, AND EXTREME TIREDNESS. I AM NOT PRONE TO CAR SICKNESS, AND HAVE DRIVEN A BRAND NEW HONDA ACCORD PREVIOUSLY, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THESE SYMPTOMS BEFORE. A 2011 REPORT CITES HONDA CIVIC AS BEING THE 'HEALTHIEST' CAR TO DRIVE. HAS SOMETHING CHANGED IN THE MATERIALS THAT HONDA NOW USES? IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS? WHAT CAN I DO NEXT? HOW LONG BEFORE VENTILATION DISSIPATES THESE ISSUES?

I PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST MONTH AND IT HAS REMAINED IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I'M TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I KNOW ABOUT THE AIR BAG ISSUE AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN THIS CAR WILL APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST SO I CAN GET IT FIXED ASAP AND START DRIVING IT!
