2018 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY CIVIC 2018 LAST YR AND THE AC WAS FINE UNTIL NOW THAT IT STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE STILL BLOWS COOL AIR. BUT THE DRIVER SIDE IS SUPER HOT! IT NOT WORKING PROPERLY WITH THIS WEATHER OF 100 DEGREES AND MORE! *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON JUNE 16 2020. A TRAILER HIT MY CAR IN THE BACK AND PULL ME OUT OF THE ROAD. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, WHEN WARM AIR WAS ENTERING THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF VALLEY STREAM SERVICE LOCATED AT 396 W MERRICK RD, VALLEY STREAM, NY 11580, (516) 285-6655, AND WAS INFORMED WITH NEEDING AC COMPRESSOR TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,948.

AFTER ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE CAR STARTS TO PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN GOING STRAIGHT ON THE ROADWAY. THE STEERING CHANGES FROM ALLOWING SMOOTH, SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS, TO BEING STICKY AND JERKY. THEN THE CAR OVERCORRECTS TO THE RIGHT, AND THE STICKY STEERING OVERCORRECTS TO THE LEFT. IT BECOMES A CONSTANT STRUGGLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. ONCE THIS ISSUE STARTS, IT HAPPENS WHETHER TRAVELING AT LOW OR HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT IS MUCH MORE OBVIOUS AND DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO HOLLER HONDA WINTER PARK FL, AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE IN MARCH 2020.THEY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE THE ISSUE AND THE ISSUE BECAME WORSE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO HOLLER HONDA ON 6-12-20 AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I ASKED FOR A ROAD TEST. THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THEY MADE A 'FEW ADJUSTMENTS." I TOLD THEM I WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AND THAT I KNOW THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER. I AM STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS YEARS OF THE HONDA CIVICS ON THE INTERNET. A RARE FEW APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE EPS RACK. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT MY DISSATISFACTION, AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALL. THE NATIONAL HONDA PHONE LINE HAS BEEN DOWN FOR TWO DAYS NOW. MY SON AND I ARE BOTH AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAIN ROADWAYS AND HIGHWAYS NOW. THE STEERING STICKS, REQUIRES AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO ADJUST, THEN 'JUMPS' TOO FAR, MAGNIFYING THE ADJUSTMENT AND MAKING AN OVERCORRECTION. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE WHILE HAVING TO ADJUST STEERING LEFT, THEN RIGHT, THEN LEFT CONSTANTLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STEER THE CAR INTO ANOTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROADWAY! *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2018. NOW IT HAS 7,000 MILES. MY A/C UNIT DOESN'T WORK. BLOWS HOT AIR. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ONLINE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING MY SON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. AS MAKES CRACKLING NOISE AS I TURNED ON THE A/C. PLEASE HELP.

AC STARTED MAKING NOISE ONE YEAR FROM PURCHASE. KEPT COMPLAINING TO DEALER ABOUT NOISE AND THEY WOULD TELL ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THEY FINALLY HEARD IT, FIXED THE NOISE (COMPRESSOR ISSUE), BUT NOW AC IS NOT COOLING. HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO DEALER AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED (THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS). I'M PAYING FOR A DEFECTIVE CAR THAT HONDA'S OWN DEALERS CANNOT FIX!

ON MARCH 27, 2020, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR'S ABS LIGHTS, BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS, AND ANOTHER LIGHT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE ALL LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME. MY CAR BEGAN TO SWERVE AND SUDDENLY MY CAR'S STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND WASN'T ABLE TO CORRECT ANYTHING BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS WERE BOTH LOCKED. I HIT A FARM FENCE WITH THE LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR, AND SLID ACROSS THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE THE SUDDEN IMPACT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CAR WHEELS WERE SO LOCKED UP THAT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVERS HAD DIFFICULTY LOADING THE CAR ON/OFF THE TOW TRUCK. THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS STAYED ON, EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS, MY CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT I WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY TURNING THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF MY DASHBOARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT TO SHOW WHAT EMERGENCY LIGHTS WERE LIT UP. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING THIS CLAIM, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THIS IS A RECALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SENT OUT.

I HAVE HAD MY 2018 HONDA CIVIC FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND MY PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF ON MY HOOD AND DOORS FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

WITHOUT WARNING OR WHEN I COME OUT TO MY CALL, ALL THE WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN, AND THE SUNROOF IS OPEN. I HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS AN OPERATOR ERROR AND THAT THE FUNCTION ON MY KEY FOB MUST HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTLY PRESSED. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE KEY FOB IS NOWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES AT HOME WHERE I KEEP THE KEY FOB AT LEAST 30 YARDS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE AT WORK WHERE THE VEHICLE IS OVER 50 YARDS AWAY AND MUST PASS THROUGH 1.5 FEET OF CONCRETE TO SEND A SIGNAL TO THE CAR. IN ADDITION, THE NUMEROUS TIMES (I HAVE LOST COUNT) THE TRUNK WILL OPEN WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE KEY FOB OF DEPRESSING THE KNOB IN THE CAR. AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERS THAT IT IS OPERATOR ERROR. HOWEVER, EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, THE KEY FOB IS IN MY HAND ON THE WAY TO THE CAR OR IN THE CONSOLE AREA WHERE IT IS NOT BEING TOUCHED BY ME OR BY ANYTHING ELSE. IT HAS OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION'CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY PULL OVER SO THE CONTENTS OF THE TRUNK DO NOT FLY OUT AND HIT SOMEONE. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUE, THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND MAY HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VIA THE HANDS-FREE SYSTEM IN THE CONSOLE AND THE USB PORT IN THE CENTER COMPARTMENT'BOTH OF WHICH WERE COVERED IN WATER DURING THIS PAST INCIDENT WHEN IT WAS HEAVILY RAINING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THESE ARE FLUKES, AND HONDA HAS NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE. THE 200+ COMPLAINTS/REPORTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE INDICATES TO ME THAT IT IS NOT A FLUKE. AS THE OWNER, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE DISABLE THIS FEATURE SO FURTHER DAMAGES, SAFETY, AND SECURITY ARE NOT AN ISSUE. THE HONDA CIVIC IN QUESTION IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD.

MAKING A LEFT TURN AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH WHEN OTHER CAR TRYING BEAT THE LIGHT DOING ABOUT 50 MPH RESULTING ME HITTING HIM BROADSIDE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED PROPERLY BUT THE SEAT BELT FAILED. THE SEAT BELT RIPPED OUT OF FLOOR OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE BOLT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. AS ARESULR I WAS INJURED WITH A FRACTURED STERNUM AND RIB.
