2012 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

HELLO GOOD MORNING, YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING HOME AND I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WHEN I RELEASE THE PEDAL MY CAR WAS GETTING INTO MY PARKING SLOT AT A SPEED OF 5 MPH, SUDDENLY LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THE CARD ACCELERATED IT SELF HITTING A ROCK OR SOMETHING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I HAVE A LITTLE INJURED IN MY HAND BUT NOTHING I THINK SERIOUS. *TR

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY AND DANGEROUS INTERSECTION I LOST POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I MANAGED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER UNTIL THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN. I HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS INCIDENT AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS I TRADED THE CAR IN WITH MILEAGE AT LESS 2000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR COMPLETE A TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000.

WHENEVER THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT MOVES A LITTLE BIT, THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. AND I GET A BIG NOTICE SAYING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND IS VERY SCARY IN MOST SITUATIONS. I WOULD NEED THIS TO BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE. *TR

THERE IS NO ACCIDENT, HERE IS PROBLEM: I HAVE 6840 MILES ON A 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX 4DR. WHEN FUEL TANK FILLED TO ALL THE WAY, THE FUEL WAS SLAPPING ABOUT FRONT TO BACK WHILE HIT BRAKE OR PARKING. IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND FUEL SLAM INTO THE WALL OF FUEL TANK. I WENT TO HONDA LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL, YOU ARE NOT FIRST ONE TO COMPLAINT, BUT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN TO IT. THIS IS UNSAFE, 10 GAL GAS FLOW IN TANK WILL THROW OFF THE BALANCE WHILE YOU MAKE TURNS, OR CAUSE DAMAGE SENSORS IN THE TANK, OR CAUSE FUEL SYSTEM LEAK EVEN FIRE. *TR

HONDA CIVIC 2012 HAS A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR SYSTEM. MY SON WHO IS 14 YEARS OLD AND 102 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN HE MAKES ANY SHIFTS LIKE LEAN ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, THE AUTO WARNS THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE SEE THIS WARNING WITH BIG ILLUMINATION. WHEN THE PASSENGER CENTERS HIMSELF ON THE SEAT, THE WARNING GOES AWAY. THE LEAN CAN BE ON ANY SIDE. THE SLIGHTEST LEAN SUCH THAT HIS LEFT LEG IS NOT PUTTING ALL THE WEIGHT CAN TRIGGER THIS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND HE SAYS THIS IS BY DESIGN. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY ARE LOGGED A REPORT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS WITH TOYOTA, LEXUS, HYUNDAI. EVEN WITH A YOUNGER KID IT DOES NOT TRIGGER AIRBAG WARNING. SO THIS IS HONDA CIVIC DEFECT WHICH CAN BE CATASTROPHIC IN ACCIDENT SITUATION WHERE THE PASSENGER WILL BE SHIFTED BY COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 4 TO 5 MPH A CRASH OCCURRED. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF AN INJURY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR FOR THE AIR BAG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED AS THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE DRIVEWAY ON AN INCLINE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE IN REVERSE. THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN DRIVE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THERE WAS ALSO A CLANKING NOISE WHEN THE GEARS CHANGED AUTOMATICALLY AND WHENEVER THE CONTACT MADE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 994.

THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE CAR IS IT ACTS LIKE IT IS POSSESSED. FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, THE CAR (WHEN PARKED) WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASH LIKE CRAZY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND THEN IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IT WILL CONTINUE AND EVENTUALLY STOP. ONCE IT STOPS THE BATTERY IS THEN DEAD. THE CAR THEN NEEDS TO BE JUMPED AND WILL RUN FINE FOR AWHILE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CAR IS DRIVEN DAILY AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 4 TIMES. AS SUCH, THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE SINCE WHEN WE TAKE IT IN THE CAR IS FINE. THIS HAS US VERY CONCERNED WITH KIDS AND OURSELVES, AS THIS COULD OCCUR AT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE 2 DOOR COUPE THAT THEY SHOULD START SELLING WITH A SET OF FREE JUMPER CABLES AS AN ACCESSORY. *TR

GAS INSIDE GAS TANK NOT STABLE EVERY TIME HIT A BRAKE GAS WILL SLAM INTO INSIDE WALL OF GAS TANK AND CAN HEAR NOISE THAT LIKE SOME THING FELT INSIDE GAS TANK AND FLOATING IN THERE, AND KEEP HIT TO WALL OF GAS TANK EVERY TIME STOP AT SPEED FROM 1 TO 10 MPH. *TR
