Key-less start system problem.... Car has 55000 miles and has been serviced at local Honda dealer on time every time. Car will start up in accessory mode after being turned off and goes into alarm. To turn off alarm I have to use door key. Keyless Remote does not work during the alarm stage and will work after restarting car. I have to unhook battery to keep car from alarming. I have already had remote replaced and reprogrammed. I have to go through a new system reset every time I use the car. Honda could not find a code error. I am concerned this is a major and dangerous problem with the electrical system, possibly control module or push start button. I have read numerous complaints of this issue online from many different Honda models including mine.

Air conditioning started to blow hot and the Freon was low. Had to refill the Freon which is using the new R-1234yf fluid which is hard to find at autozone and is very expensive for a 1 pound can at $50. Still cheaper than a mechanic or dealership price. Problem is that the car has 27000 miles and has only been driven sparingly and was never abused. A month later and it’s starting to blow warmer only on 100 degree weather. I currently cannot afford to have full repairs done to the AC. Never had hit anything with my car. Paint and interior is in near excellent condition. So it’s obviously not my fault. Honda should be ashamed.

happens with out the key near the car. 2017 Honda Civic, Car will trigger itself to start to accessory mode, turning on headlights, wipers (if switch is on), and sometimes triggering the alarm system when locked and armed. just the electronics turn on by itself. It occurs both when I am in the vehicle, and when no keys are in the vehicle sometimes every error message shows. Several times I will go to my car and the system will be on, or the car will be dead and have to be jumped from being on without me knowing. I'm currently disconnecting the battery.

STARTED CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND, AND A BUNCH OF ERROR/PROBLEM CODES APPEARED ON DASH ONE BY ONE AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. ALL YELLOW LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH EVERY PROBLEM. HAD NO ISSUE TURNING ON, STAYING IN MOTION, SITTING IDLE FOR 30 MIN, OR BRAKING, YET EVERY ISSUE WAS STILL ON DISPLAY AFTER MULTIPLE STARTUPS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT IN BUT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS. HAD TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LATE AFTERNOON. SERVICE IS MAKING REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES AT THE APPROVAL OF AMERICAN HONDA (NOT EVEN INVOLVING EXTENDED WARRANTY.) FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT HONDA HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS.

MY CAR ALARM RANDOMLY STARTED GOING OFF WHILE PARKED FOR THREE DAYS, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BACK TO BACK AT 2AM WHILE PARKED. I TRIED TURNING IT OFF WITH MY KEY FOB AND IT WOULD NOT REGISTER. I OPENED THE CAR WITH THE KEY IN THE FOB AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE STARTED AND I REMAINED PARKED. THEN I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, INSTEAD THE LIGHTS FLICKERED ON THE DASH AND THE CAR STAYED ON. I TRIED IT 2 MORE TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE DASH. ALL THE WARNING SIGNS CAME ON THE CAR INCLUDING A BREAK SYSTEMS ERROR AND A TIRE PRESSURE ERROR. AFTER THIS, I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF MY FOB AND NOW THE CAR BATTERY IS DEAD. I POWERED UP THE BATTERY TODAY BUT THE CAR WON'T START. THE DASH TURNS ON BUT THEN IT JUST FLICKERS AND GIVES ME ALL THE SAME WARNING SIGNS. I FOUND THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 CIVICS AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2017 AND 2018 CIVIC AS WELL. MINE IS A 2017 CIVI AND IT'S HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES THAT COULD BE DEADLY IF THEY HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY.

MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC EX-T COUPE SHUTS DOWN MY DIGITAL SCREEN AND AUDIO SYSTEM WITH THE MESSAGE "AMP IS IN PROTECTION MODE" THIS THEN MAKES ANY HANDS FREE DEVICES TURN COMPLETELY OFF FROM THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN MY STATE, CELL PHONES AND ANY OTHER FORM OF ELECTRONICS ARE NOT PERMITTED. SO WHEN BEING ON THE PHONE OR USING GPS IT SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN AND THATS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I RECENTLY WENT TO MANY HONDA DEALERS AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA BUT THEY TOLD ME HONDA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE AND THAT THEY RECALLED THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT SINCE THEY DIDN'T RECALL THE 2017 HONDA CIVICS THEN THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS PROBLEM IS STRESSING ME OUT BECAUSE I CAN'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON MY GPS OR ANSWER IMPORTANT CALLS IF NEEDED. ALSO I WENT TO AUDIO TECHS WHO TOLD ME THIS IS THE MOST BIZARRE SITUATION THEY'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR FOR ME TO PAY ALL OF THIS MONEY ON MY NEW CAR (ONLY OWNED FOR 3 MONTHS). I AM ALSO A FIRST TIME BUYER AND THIS MAKES ME REGRET EVER BUYING A CAR! THE VEHICLE IS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE MESSAGE OCCURS AND THEN SHUTS OFF EVERYTHING. I EVEN GOT MY WHOLE AUDIO SYSTEM AND AMP TAKEN OUT FOR FURTHER TESTS AND NO-ONE SEEMS TO KNOW. IF YOU GUYS CAN HELP IN ANYWAY TO RECALL THE 2017 CIVICS WITH THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

MY SON AND I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2017 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN ON DEC 3RD FROM HONDA OF LISLE IL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 22,100 MILES. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON DEC 10TH AND STOPPED FOR GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP. HE NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE IMMEDIATELY CAM HOME AND CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. AS HE WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER HE GOT ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE CAR FROZE UP AND IMMEDIATELY BURST INTO FLAMES. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AS HE WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A LAW THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE IT BACK WITHIN 15 DAYS OR LESS THAN 500 MILES, THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I NEEDED TO GET MY INSURANCE INVOLVED. A FIRE INSPECTOR HIRED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY LOOKED AT THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND SUSPECTED THE FIRE STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE ENGINEER INSPECT IT AT A COST OF $5,000 THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT PURSUE FURTHER.

CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND THE ALARM SET ITSELF OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ANY KEY FOB COMMANDS AND THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY LIT WITH FLASHING SAFETY FEATURE WARNING LIGHTS, AND AIRBAGS WERE ALSO DISABLED. HAD TO OPEN THE CAR WITH THE MANUAL KEY, SINCE THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB. STARTED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT OFF AGAIN, IT REFUSED AND WOULDN'T TURN OFF. I PROCEEDED TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AFTER MULTIPLE FAILED ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR TO RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB AND THEY TURNED THE CAR OFF. TWO DAYS LATER I DROVE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE WHOLE WAY THERE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED AND NOT WORKING. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COOPERATE OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AT HAND. TOOK IT TWO TIMES JUST TO BE TURNED AWAY AND TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OUT, AS THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT WORKING. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER, ONLY HAS 14,600 MILES. DEALERSHIP MANAGER TOLD US THAT CORPORATE HONDA COMMANDED HIM NOT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND TO TELL US TO PICK IT UP. DROVE THE CAR BACK STILL BROKEN, WITH ALL SAFETY FEATURES NOT WORKING, WARNING LIGHTS ON, AND THE ALARM CONTINUES TO SET ITSELF OFF. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNUSABLE FOR TWO WEEKS NOW, FOR IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ATTEMPTED VARIOUS TIMES TO CONTACT CORPORATE HONDA FOR HELP WITH THIS ISSUE, YET THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IS GOING ON AND WILL NOT RESPOND. PLEASE HELP, THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND MUST BE RECALLED. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR HONDA TO OWN UP? IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN FOR THEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE CAR IS CONTROLLED BY UNRESPONSIVE ELECTRONICS.
