2017 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL RANDOMLY AND TAKE UP TO A FEW HOURS TO RESTART. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN THE CENTER STACK HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED DUE TO BUTTONS BEING PUSHED BY THEMSELVES. LASTLY, EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE SIGN ON DASHBOARD BUT BRAKE WAS WORKING FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO REGISTER AN OCCUPANT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. GUNN HONDA (14610 I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78249) WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, DISCONNECTED THE SENSOR CABLE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND RECONNECTED IT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500. *TT*JB

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE A/C FOR A COUPLE OF WEEK. TWO DAY AGO MY A/C STOP WORKING SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO MY CAR HAVING 41K MILES. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. THEY (DEALERSHIP) DID NOT WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES. THE REPAIR COST WAS $1,500. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL BUYER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO MENTION THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIVING A LOT OF CARS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE A/C TRIGGERED SOMETHING IN MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT LET IT START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I BELIEVE A RECALL ON THE A/C IS ENTITLED.

VEHICLE HESITATING, FAILING TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN 25 MPH. VEHICLE HAS LOST DRIVEN GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND ABRUPTLY RETURNED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, VEHICLE EXHIBITING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. TRANSMISSION RELATED GRINDING NOISE ON WARM-START, ENGINE RATTLES ON COLD START. COLLISION MITIGATING BRAKING SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM THAT WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER. ENGINE CURRENTLY LEAKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL FROM AROUND THE HEAD AND ONTO SURROUNDING WIRING HARNESSES, A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF FIRE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE SAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG ISLAND HONDA HILO (75-5608 KUAKINI HWY, KAILUA-KONA, HI 96720, 1-(808) 961-5505) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *BF *JB

PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED WHEN MY WIFE OR I SIT IN THE SEAT. PER HONDA DEALER NEITHER ONE OF US MEET SENSOR CRITERIA TO ACTIVATE AIR BAG. AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT ASSIST NOR RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. THE SERVICING DEALER RECOMMENDS HAVING WIFE MOVE SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK OR SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS ISSUE IS CONSIDERED NORMAL & WITHIN DESIGN CRITERIA. PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NEVER DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WHENEVER SOMEONE SITS & WEIGHT DOES NOT ACTIVATE AIRBAG.

VEHICULE STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH ALL WARNING LIGHTS POP UP, VEHICULE LOSS POWER UNTIL STALL. EVENT OCCURS 3 OCCATIONS IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH.

SINCE WE GOT THE CAR, DECEMBER 2017, THE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, ABOUT 8 TIMES SINCE WE GOT IT AND TWICE IN OCTOBER, WHILE MY WIFE IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TWO DEALERS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND HONDA SAYS IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WON'T START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I CAN NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG FAIL IF WE WERE TO GET IN A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE SUN ROOF OPENED AND ALL FOUR WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN SPONTANEOUSLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

FUEL IS MIXING WITH OIL. OIL DIPSTICK READS HIGHER WHEN CHECKED. ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS SLUGGISH. WHEN CHECKING OIL, THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. AS A RESULT, OIL IS SIGNIFICANTLY THINNER WHEN CHECKED.
