2017 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

SUDDEN BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE, FALSE WARNINGS (WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY) TO LIGHT UP SUCH AS BRAKE SYSTEM, STEERING, OIL, BATTERY, KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM. DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW IF SHE/HE SHOULD HEED THESE WARNINGS. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. CAR ACCESSORY MODE WOULD TURN ON BY ITSELF (WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND KEY IS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE) AND DRAIN OUT BATTERY. HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND BCM FAULTY. PLEASE REFER TO RECALL #: 20V-771 ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA VEHICLES. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE HONDA CIVICS.

AIR CONDITIONER IN VEHICLE STOPPED COOLING CAUSING EXCESS BUILD UP OF MOISTURE ON INTERIOR WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOWS IMPAIRING VISIBILITY AND SAFE OPERATION OF VEHICLE. RAINING PREVENTED THE ABILITY TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS. HAD TO MANUALLY WIPE THE INTERIOR OF WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD TO SEE CONSTANTLY UNTIL I MADE IT BACK TO MY HOME.

STEERING FEELS LIKE IT STICKS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAY OR FAST CITY STREET, REQUIRING EXTRA FORCE TO CORRECT STEERING, RESULTING IN DANGEROUS OVERCORRECTIONS. NOT NOTICEABLE WHEN NAVIGATING A CURVE OR CORNER.

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPS BLOWING COLD AIR AT IDLE AND OCCASIONALLY EVEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS MAY POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN HOTTER CLIMATES IF THERE ARE CHILDREN, ELDERLY PEOPLE, SPECIAL NEEDS PERSONS, OR PETS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED.

AIR CONDITIONER FAILS TO COOL AND INSTEAD BLOWS HOT AIR. HONDA AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS CONFIRMED THAT A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAS CAUSED FREEON LEAKAGE FROM THE COMPRESSOR'S MAIN SHAFT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

AT COLD START, THE IDLING ENGINE SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL, DASHBOARD, AND MUCH OF THE CABIN. IT FEELS LIKE A POORLY SEATED MOTOR MOUNT. I'VE DRIVEN CIVICS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE NEVER FELT A SHAKE LIKE THIS ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT IN HOPES OF REPLICATING THE COLD START. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BUT I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY.

2020 I HAVEN'T USED THE CAR MUCH DO TO COVID-19. MAYBE 1000 MILES. FEBRUARY 2021 I NOTICED THE COLD AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. SEEMS THAT THE AIR ONLY BLOWS. I JUST DISCOVERED TODAY THAT HONDA SEEMS TO HAVE ISSUES WITH AC CONDENSERS. I SENT AN EMAIL TO HONDA TO SEE IF MY VIN HAS THE WARRANTY FOR THE CONDENSER. I WILL INSPECT IT AND SEE IF THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON. CAR HAS 40K MILES. 2017 SEDAN EX 2.0L NEED AC TO DEFOG WINDSHIELD FOR VISIBILITY! AND KEEP ME COOL SO I CAN OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY! I'M NOT SURE IF IT FAILED AT SOME POINT IN 2020. BUT I JUST NOTICED IT NOW DURING SOME VERY HOT DAYS. AUTOMATIC BREAKING SHOULD HAVE RECALL. WHEN I DRIVE AND SOMEONE IN FRONT JUMPS ACROSS MY LANE TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE, THE CAR WILL SLAM THE BRAKES AFTER THE CAR IN FRONT IS ALREADY LEFT THE LANE AND IT'S INSIDE ANOTHER LANE. THAT'S A VERY DELAYED RESPONSE AND UNNECESSARY BECAUSE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME NEED TO GET ON THE BRAKE HARD TO AVOID HITTING ME. I TRY TO FLOOR IT IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T LET ME. THE ONLY THING THIS LEAVES ME TO DO IS DISABLED THE SYSTEM BY HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTON. BUT THAT REMOVES THE SAFETY FEATURES. SOMETIMES SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME BRAKES FAST SUDDENLY. I JUMP TO ANOTHER LANE AND THE SYSTEM APPLIES THE BRAKES ONCE I ALREADY JUMPED INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH NOBODY IN IT. HOWEVER IF THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND, THEN THE PERSON HONKS BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES! I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF THIS. IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN

JUST THE OTHER DAY I FLOORED IT TO PASS SOMEONE AND MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AS I PRESSED THE GAS THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP BUT I HAD 0 ACCELERATION. I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY WHEN I TURNED IT, MY CAR STAR SHUTTLE BEFORE STOP THE ACCELERATION AND HAPPEND EVERY TIME WHEN I TRY ACCELERATE THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE AND THEN STALL. THERE WERE SEVERAL CODES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS RESET BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES OR REMOVING AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH A DEALER. THE CONTACT LEARNED OF SERVICE BULLETIN: 10142655 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,300.

I WAS ON AN ERRAND TRIP FROM ALHAMBRA TO SANTA ANA. AIR CONDITIONER IS WORKING FINE UNTIL I STOPPED TO DROP OFF DOCUMENTS IN ALHAMBRA. THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING WHEN I RETURN AND STARTUP MY CAR. MY VEHICLE WAS AT 66700 MILES. NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. NORM REEVES HONDA AT WEST COVINA DIAGNOSED BOTH A/C COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE LEAKING. REQUEST GOODWILL REPAIR FROM AMERICA HONDA BUT WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED.
