2017 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2017 HONDA CIVIC IN NOVEMBER 2017. IN AUGUST 2018 THE AC WENT OUT. (I KNOW IN AUGUST RIGHT!). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE O-RING. THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER MY CAR WARRANTY. NINE MONTHS LATER (MAY 2019) THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE A/C WENT OUT. THIS TIME THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE CONDENSER. IT IS EVEN NOTED IN THE PAPERWORK THAT THE AC IS BLOWING HOT "AGAIN". THE SERVICE WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. 13 MONTHS LATER (JUNE 2020) WHILE SERVICING AN OIL CHANGE, THE HONDA SERVICE FOUND A LEAK COMING FROM THE COMPRESSOR. THIS TIME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY, HOWEVER THROUGH HONDA CARE I WAS CHARGED A DEDUCTIBLE ($100.00). *TR

A/C CONDENSER IS DEFECTIVE BUT HONDA SAYS MY VIN NOT COVERED UNDER HONDA'S 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PART. IN ADDITION, TRIED TO GET THIS PART SERVICED UNDER THREE-YEAR WARRANTY BUT HONDA SERVICE WAS CLOSED DUE TO COVID 19 AND THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO EXTEND ITS WARRANTY PERIOD AS OTHER COMPANIES HAVE DONE. *TR

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THE CAR'S A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE VENTS EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING WAS SET TO LOWEST TEMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THROW UP FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE I'M DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT. CHECKED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT WAS A BIT COOLER. COOLER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE AT LEAST. I KIND OF IGNORED IT FOR A FEW DAYS SINCE IT HADN'T BEEN SO HOT BUT TODAY I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WARMER AIR COMPARED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STILL NOT VERY COLD. THEN I REALIZED SOME FOG LIKE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE MIDDLE VENTS AFTER LIKE 2 MINUTES OF IT BEING ON. I FELT LIGHT HEADED AND KIND OF OUT OF BREATH SO I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF AND PULLED OVER TO CATCH MY BREATH. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING IS BLOWING HOT AIR, POSSIBLY DUE TO REFRIGERANT LEAK. FINDING MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM NEW HONDA CIVIC OWNERS. *TR

THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN 2018. IT IS NOW BEING REPORTED ON CARFAX AS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO A $74 BRACKET THAT WAS REPLACED ON THE BACK. THE CAR IS NOW UNDERVALUED DUE TO THIS. THE CAR WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN SOMEONE RAN A STOP SIGN AND COLLIDED WITH THE BACK LEFT FENDER OF THE CAR. THE CAR THAT WAS HIT WAS AT A STAND STILL. *TR

I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM VERY CERIUM IN MY HONDA CIVIC 2017, IT IS ABOUT ACCELERATION, IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE GOING ON THE FREEWAY THROUGH THE CARPOOL AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVER IN FRONT STOPS IF YOU TRY TO BRAKE BUT ONCE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REACH TO BRAKE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE TRYING TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT BUT YOUR CAR AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATING DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND YOU AS YOU RELEASED THE BREAKERS YOU STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FOR 5 SECONDS WITH CARS GOING AT 70 MPH WELL THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY MANY ALMOST ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY, LUCKILY NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS ALTHOUGH BOTH OF US HAVE FELT THAT LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN YOU NEED IT AND THE WORST THING IS THAT THE MECHANICS AND AGENTS OF THE DEALER MAKE FUN OF ONE TELLING ME THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OR THAT MY MAT WAS POORLY ACCOMMODATED OR THAT THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE FELT THE FAULT BUT THE LAST ONE ON THE PAPER SAYS THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND JUST DO AN "UPDATE" WHEN MY LIFE AND MY WIFE'S LIFE HAVE BEEN AT RISK MORE THAN 1 TIME, I BRING MY CAR 10 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND I ALWAYS RECEIVE THE SAME ANSWER AND THIS LAST TIME MY WIFE BRING THE CAR AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS WAS TO DO GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON ALL FLUIDS WITH COSTS ABOVE $ 800 BECAUSE THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THAT EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, FOR MY PART I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND AFTER REVIEWING IT HE TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS NONSENSE, ALL THE FLUIDS WERE CLEAN. HE ALSO EXPLAINED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO RECOMMEND FLUID CHANGE OR MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN THINGS WITHOUT NO REASON AND EFFECTIVELY THE PAPER THAN THE DEALER GAVE ME HAS NO REASON WHY THEY WANTED TO SELL ALL THAT TO MY WIFE. *TR

THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THREE YEARS. SUDDENLY AN ERROR MESSAGE POPS UP SAYING "ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM". THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WENT AWAY AFTER I FIDDLED WITH ELECTRICAL PARKING AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WENT AWAY. THE THIRD TIME, COULDN'T START THE CAR AS THE BRAKE PAD DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. *TR

MY VEHICLE'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. WENT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO PAY $206 TO FLUSH THE AC AND REPLACE THE FREON WITH DYE. APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS LATER THE A/C STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. WENT BACK TO HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE LEAK THEY STATE IS DUE TO THE A/C COMPRESSOR LEAKING. HONDA PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CONDENSER BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WILL NOT COVER BECAUSE IT IS THE COMPRESSOR, NOT THE CONDENSER. IT APPEARS HONDA HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ALL COMPONENTS OF THE A/C OF THESE CARS. THEY WON'T COVER THIS AS I ONLY HAVE 46K MILES ON VEHICLE AND WANT TO CHARGE $2,049.00 TO REPLACE. IN MY OPINION, THE A/C SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND ALL PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT, AC CONDENSER UNIT WENT BAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA'S HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY MODEL/TRIM IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION EVEN THOUGH THE CONDENSER IS OBVIOUSLY BAD.
