2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

The AC on my vehicle has broken three times since I bought the car in 2018. The compressor and condenser have been replaced but this time it's likely the evaporator. I have been told that it will cost thousands of dollars since the entire dashboard will have to be removed. And I don't know if it's even worth fixing if this cycle of breakdowns is going to repeat itself every year. I am so disappointed because I am a long time Honda owner and there has been no support from corporate so far. The only thing they have done recently is that they continually hound me to invest in an extended warranty. But I believe that I shouldn't be forced to invest more money in order to pay for a defect on their end. Who knew that a Honda could be a lemon?

I am experiencing issues with my 2018 Honda Civic LX A/C. Here is the history of the A/C issues. December 2020 A/C stopped working and went in for maintenance for a check up. Told me condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and was covered under warranty. However the condenser was back ordered and I couldn't get it replaced at that time. April 2021 Condenser was in stock and went into the dealership to get it fixed on warranty. January 2022 A/C was blowing hot air again so I bought it back to the dealership. Was told the evaporator/compressor was leaking and was quoted $4,000 to get it fixed. Summary: Had constant A/C issues and was finally quoted $4,000 to fix the A/C on a car that is only 4 years old.

I got the car with free accident carfax at Toyota in Waldorf Md . A Honda Civic 2018 with 39000 . The radio wasn’t working and one speaker was broke , they promise me that they were going to fix it , when I tried to find the antena I realize that the back window wasn’t from the manufacture so I took the car to the dealer they sent me to Honda in Waldorf they didn’t want to fix it cuz I bough the car at Toyota after I left I was making a turn I can said I was like 5 or leas miles an hour and the airbag deployed on me with no accidents ( when I had the car not even a month ) when I took the car to the dealer the manager told me that they were goi g to check the car , after 2 weeks I kept passing by the dealer and the car wasn’t moving when I asked they said it was dangerous to drive but I have to move the car cuz the airbag was deployed cu of my fault I said why ? He didn’t have an answer and since then they ignore me and they don’t want to fix the car when they lie to me with a clean carfax and I found out too that the car has been in the coalition by Toyota . They said that I got the front of the car cuz the tag was bend but if u see the picture when I got the car it was already bent , the rims were different from the picts that they have for sale , paint don’t match .

There is fuel leaking into engine oil and thinning it out. My mechanic said there's a software issue causing it but a recall hasn't happened for it. It's hurting my car performance and making my car speed up faster even when breaking.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the power steering had failed and the vehicle was difficult to steer. The tire pressure monitoring, brake system, electronic power steering, and stability assist warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to drive to her residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to turn off the vehicle and turn it back on to correct the failure. The power steering was corrected after restarting the vehicle; however, the warning lights were still illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with lost communication with the steering angle sensor. The dealer calibrated the steering angle sensor and cleared the DTC, then test drove the vehicle. The failure recurred a week later with an additional unknown warning light. The vehicle was towed a second time back to the dealer, who diagnosed that rodents were chewing the steering column wires. The dealer replaced the steering column wires and wrapped them in a tape produced by the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the steering column wires were soy-insulated, which could attract rodents. The failure mileage was 31,879.

Traveling straight, I could not make small corrections in the steering. It would resist then over compensate. I took it to a dealer who told me the sensor problem was a recall covering other VINs but none covering my vehicle. The dealer also said they have had several other 2018 civics with same problem with VINs not included in recall. The dealer test drove my car and agreed it was the sensor, The dealer worked with Honda and got me a discount on parts and said it was the same problem other VINs have recall for but not mine. It was still an expensive repair after the discount that I should not have had to pay.

2018 Honda Civic 2.0L Sedan bought in July 2018, starts to blow warm air from A/C from on October 2021, with only 50k miles on the car. Went to a mechanic for diagnosis since it was just over warranty and Honda dealer would charge $399 for just diagnosis and the only thing would be under cover is the condenser. The mechanic told me it is either a compressor leak or evaporator leak. I have read the comments online and it says the compressors and evaporator fail at a high rate due to bad design of the 10th gen Honda Civic A/C. I’ve also read that the condenser issue can lead to a compressor and evaporator leak. It is not a safety issue but it is unacceptable that a car which is only over 3 years with about 50k needs to be replaced the compressor or evaporator for over $1000.

When putting the car in par with a foot firmlt on the break, the car will still move a foot back or forward after taking my foot off, the wheels stay in place but the body moves even when on a completely flat road

The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where he was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle.
