2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

The computer board is out and on back order. I have to boost my care EVERYTIME I attempt to drive it. It has been out since January and won't be in until March 8th. They won't give me a loaner car at all. Nothing showed on the dash. The car automatically stays on but won't crank up but that is why the battery is being ran down.

The steering gearbox automatically drifts and swerves (Notching) when at high speeds (>45mph) and after 30 minutes of running time. The problem does not occur on low speeds and within the 1st 30mins of starting the car. The Notching is very dangerous as the steering veers automatically driving in the highway and the driver has to make over compensating control to bring it back which can result in high speed collisions and RISK OF LIFE. The safety of the vehicle is compromised. We had the vehicle inspected by a dealer/mechanic who confirmed our assumption and suggested that the Steering gearbox assembly need to be replaced. No warning messages on the vehicle. WE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND all they said that it has passed warranty (36k miles) and they cannot help. We noticed the problem during 35700 miles and currently it has 36200 miles..

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and making a slight turn, the steering wheel became stiff. Additionally, there were abnormal sounds coming from the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that the steering wheel system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 44,000.

Steering is sticky at highway speeds while making minor adjustments to stay in the lane. I see multiple other reports online and with the NHTSA about this with 2016-2018 Civics. It happens mostly on warmer days after driving a few miles. It causes overcompensation when making adjustments left or right in the lane, which could cause the car to come out of the lane into another lane. I do not feel safe driving my car on long trips anymore. Honda thinks it is the electric power steering rack, and it will cost over $3000 to replace! Please investigate this and all the other reports of this! It is very unsafe! Make Honda do a recall on this please! Look at all the other reports on it!

Fuel injectors are fouled up at 25k miles, and cause misfires. Problem had been noted on other Honda vehicles and recall had been issued for the 6 cylinder cars, but not for Civics or 4 cylinder cars. Check engine light, and emissions system warning.

When I drive down the road at certain times the steering sticks which does not allow me to make the minor adjustments needed to stay in the center of a lane. This causes a jerkiness and overcorrection when driving at higher speeds. This has occurred on long trips and short drives, but sometimes the steering seems fine. I have confirmed that it is not the lane assist kicking in. It is a problem with the steering wheel sticking.

Car suddenly lost power steering and resulted in the car swerving and losing control causing the car to turn in opposite direction of travel. The car crashed into the wire guard rail on interstate 40. No waring lamps were on the dash at the time of incident. Allstate reported to me 4 recalls with the car.

The paint on both of the side mirrors have began peeling. The paint on one of the door handles have began peeling. After research, I have found that Honda has been known for this same issue on prior vehicles due to improper paint laying technique. I contacted Honda Automotives and they told me they wouldn't help me due to my vehicle not being apart of the prior "campaigns" to fix the paint on the recorded vehicles.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that when attempting to make a right turn at approximately 25 -30 mph, the vehicle failed to successfully turn right. The vehicle continued in a forward motion until it crashed into a nearby sign. The air bag did not deploy. There were no injuries. Medical attention was received and confirmed that no injuries occurred. The sign was damaged. There was no police report. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that there was an electrical failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,128.

I was driving through an intersection when my car suddenly applied the brakes even though the vehicle in front was way ahead of me and in motion. Thankfully the driver behind me was not close enough to have collided with the rear of my vehicle. Prior to this happening as i was driving on the highway, the vehicle did mark the brake warning sign even though I was at a safe distance from the vehicle in front. This is the first time i have encountered this problem, howevever i am very scared that this could cause an accident in the future if it were to happen again.
