2017 Honda Civic

WE DRIVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCH AND WE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH RODENT ISSUE CHEWING THRU WIRE. WE NOW HAVE TO FIX IT AND REPLACE WIRE AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL PUT A TAKE TO DETERS RODENTS. WE HAVE TO PAY $500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIS POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID WE HAVE TO PAY FOR DAMAGE BUT THEY DID SAY MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE CALLED HONDA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ISSUE. SO IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HONDA DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. HELP

SOMETIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT CRANK AND START. THE ELECTRIC POWER WILL COME ON (DASH BOARD ICONS, HEADLIGHTS, ETC.), BUT IT WILL NOT CRANK. IT TAKES FROM 2 TO 7 TURNS OF THE KEY, BEFORE IT CRANKS AND STARTS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SOMETIMES ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES 2 OR 3 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, ON THE DAY I TOOK IT IN, OF COURSE, IT WAS WORKING FINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEIR COMPUTER COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS IT, UNLESS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, OR THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE DEALER YET. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES ON IT.

DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WILL FAIL AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THIS INCLUDES ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, BRAKE ASSIST AND MORE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE. WHILE THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE IT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY RESULT IN A MAJOR CRASH AND INJURY.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM GOES FROM COLD TO HOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. DURING VERY HOT DAYS CABIN BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT EVEN WITH FAN TURNED TO HIGH AND A/C TURNED TO THE ON POSITION. HAVE HEARD THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS AS WELL. BECOMES VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TRYING TO DRIVE WHILE CABIN IS HOT. HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR AT IDLE

THE HEAD UNIT/DISPLAY STOPPED WORKING ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AT FIRST, NOTHING WOULD COME ON. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FUSE, OR IT NEEDED REBOOTED. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO ACT UP. THE BACK-UP AND PASSENGER SIDE CAMERAS WON'T WORK PROPERLY, THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK AS I CAN'T CHANGE THE AIR FLOW OR TEMPERATURE, THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK OR CONNECT, AND THE AUDIO CONTROLS WON'T WORK OR ARE SEVERELY DELAYED. THIS CREATES MULTIPLE SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING: 1. THE AUDIO WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON, AND AT HIGH VOLUMES DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT CONTROL THE VOLUME OR TURN IT ON OR OFF. 2. THE BACK-UP AND/OR SIDE CAMERAS WILL GET STUCK ON THE SCREEN, WHICH CREATES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. 3. THE BLUETOOTH WON'T WORK, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO 'HANDS-FREE' LAWS IN MOST STATES. 4. THE CLIMATE CONTROLS WON'T WORK CORRECTLY AND, THEREFORE, I CANNOT USE THE FRONT DEFROST. WHEN TAKEN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIM THAT IT WILL COST $4,000 TO REPLACE. $4,000 ON A 3-YEAR OLD VEHICLE, WITH NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES.

ON JUNE 13TH, LESS THEN A MONTH AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED/SERVICED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 21ST, MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR BUSTS UP IN FLAMES. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD ON A CLEAR DAY GOING ABOUT 65, A SPARK FLEW FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY WE PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO WATCH THE CAR GO UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODE. I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THEIR SERVICE TEAM, HONDA FINANCIAL, HONDA GENERAL, AND THE HONDA PLANT IN INDIANA. EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS SHOWN NO COMPASSION OR INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS? AND MY INSURANCE IS TAKING THEIR TIME SINCE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.

THE A/C STOPPED WORKING ONLY ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. THE CAR'S A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE VENTS EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTING WAS SET TO LOWEST TEMP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE OFTEN TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THROW UP FROM HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE I'M DRIVING DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, I HAVE REVIEWED MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

CAR WOULD EITHER START ENGINE ON ITS OWN OR TURN ON STANDBY/ACCESSORY MODE ON ITS OWN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT, THIS AFTER IT RUINED THE PREVIOUS BATTERY BY CONSTANTLY DRAWING POWER BY THE CAR STARTING ITSELF. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY BODY CONTROL MODULE.
