2017 Honda Civic

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The vehicle stability assist (VSA), the electric power steering (EPS), the TPMS and the brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as needed. The warning lights were no longer illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 50-65 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact was able to continue driving by using physical force to steer the vehicle. The contact stated that he arrived at the residence, parked, and turned off the vehicle; however, upon restarting the vehicle approximately 6 hours later, the failure persisted. The vehicle stability assist (VSA), the electric power steering (EPS), and the TPMS warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

MY CAR RANDOMLY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FORCING ME TO TURN ON HAZARDS AND MAKE MY WAY FROM THE EXPRESS LANE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP GOING 20 MPH WHILE TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH RAPIDLY CAUSING FURTHER ANXIETY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY TO SAFETY AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY CAR DELIVERED TO THE NEAREST HONDA (WALNUT CREEK CA) HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AVAILABILITY FOR A FEW DAYS. THE CAR ALSO HAD LOTS OF SMOKE COMING OUT THE EXHAUST AND READ CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON AND OFF. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME TO REPAIR. ON TOP OF ALL THE WORK I'LL LOOSE BEING MY WORK RELIES ON MY CAR 100%. I'VE OWNED NOTHING BUT HONDAS HOWEVER THIS TIME I FEEL I MADE A BAD PURCHASE BUYING A NEW 2017 CIVIC. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, ONLY GOES TO DEALERSHIP, PUMPED NOTHING BUT PREMIUM GASOLINE. I AM SAD, UPSET, ANGRY, ANXIOUS AND VERY MUCH STILL IN DISBELIEF THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR AT ONLY 80,000 MILES . WHAT CAN I DO? IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SAME ISSUE? I GOT A CODE P0299 TURBO UNDERBOOST

LANE MONITORING SYSTEM PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNINGS. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE I DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAYS. IT SOMETIMES WITHOUT WARNING ADJUSTS THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE. BRAKE MONITORING SYSTEM, WHEN IT DOES PROVIDE WARNING, PROVIDES WARNINGS SO LATE THAT A COLLISION WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE INFORMATION TO ALLOW FOR AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE OF THE DRIVER. NO FEEDBACK FROM THE CALIBRATION MODE OF THE TPMS. ONCE THE SYSTEM PROVIDES ITS FIRST ALARM, DOESN'T RESPOND WELL TO CALIBRATION. MY SYSTEM NOW ALARMS ABOUT EVERY 60-100 MILES. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS SCARY. WHILE IT IS EXPECTED THAT IN ESPECIALLY HILLY TERRAIN THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD VARY A BIT (A COUPLE OF MPH EITHER DIRECTION), THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE, SOMETIMES TURNS ITSELF OFF WITHOUT WARNING, PROVIDES INCONSISTENT WARNING OF WHEN THE VEHICLE INTERVAL IS NOT MAINTAINED, BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN THE SET POINT. FOR EXAMPLE YESTERDAY, ACC SET AT 42 MPH. SPEED LIMIT WAS 40 MPH. I WAS DESCENDING A HILL AND MANUALLY DISENGAGED THE ACC WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED EXCEEDED 57 MPH. SAME TRIP -- ACC SET AT 67 MPH, SPEED LIMIT AT 65 MPH; ACC DISENGAGED MANUALLY WHEN VEHICLE SPEED APPROACHED 76 MPH. THIRD INSTANCE, ACC SET AT 56 MPH, SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 MPH, ACC MANUALLY DISENGAGED AT 63 MPH. WHEN ACC FIRST ENGAGED, SPEED IS AT THE SET POINT. THEN THE SYSTEM CAN'T MAINTAIN THE SPEED AND CONSISTENTLY RUNS 1-2 MPH BELOW THE SET POINT. HENCE, ME SETTING THE ACC 1-2 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT. BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL PART OF THE HONDA SENSING SYSTEM WHICH WAS PART OF THE TOURING PACKAGE, WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. THE 2017 CR-V MODELS WITH THE SAME SYSTEM HAVE A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HONDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO OUR INQUIRIES.

I WENT TO GO START MY VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AT 4 AM, 5/9/2019. UPON TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF. I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE. MY CAR'S LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, WITH A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE BEING MADE. ON THE DASHBOARD, THE SYSTEM STARTED STATING "ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM". "MANUAL BRAKE PROBLEM", "STABILITY PROBLEM", AND A COUPLE OTHER ERRORS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND UPON DOING RESEARCH, THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH 2016-2018 HONDA CIVICS. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON, AND I HAVE NEVER USED THAT FEATURE. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY WORK'S FULL PARKING LOT, AND I AM STRANDED.

MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK, WITH 13,015 MILES ON IT, WAS IN MY CARPORT AND HAD ONLY BEEN SITTING 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE CAR BEGAN THROWING WARNINGS OF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAVING PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE TPMS, ELECTRIC PARKING BREAK, BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, HILL START ASSIST AND MORE. AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO SURPRISE HONDA (BIG MISTAKE) AND THEY SAW THAT MY HARNESS (PART NUMBER 53682-TSA-A01) WAS CHEWED BY RODENTS WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS AND KNOWS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. HONDA EVEN HAS A SPECIAL SPICY TAPE, WHICH THEY CHARGE FOR AS WELL, THAT THEY CAN USE TO WRAP THE WIRING TO DETER THE RODENTS (WHICH THE SERVICE MGR SAID REALLY DOESN'T WORK.) HONDA SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 370.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 20.00 DOLLARS. IT IS 108 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE RODENTS ARE NOT GOING INTO MY ENGINE TO KEEP WARM!! THE SOY BASE WIRING IS ATTRACTING THEM TO DO THE DAMAGE. HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIP WERE OF NO HELP WHATSOEVER EXCEPT TO MAKE MONEY OFF A POOR CHOICE IN THEIR SOY BASE WIRING.

EVERY NOW AND THEN THERE WILL BE BRAKE PROBLE WHILE IM DRIVING CAR WILL STOP IN THE FOR NO REASON.LASTWEEK AS I WAS REVERSING THE CAR HAD AN ERROR STATING ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM AND IT WOULDNT MOVE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF THWN TURN IT BACK ON IT WENT AWAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE ERROR APPEARS AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TURN IT OFF AND WAITED

MY HONDA CIVIC 2017 CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT MOVING WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HONDA AND THEY SAW THAT MY SUB WIRING HARNESS WAS CHEWED WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS THIS WIRING IS MADE FROM SOY BASED MATERIAL WHICH ATTRACTS RODENTS. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING AND IT COST ME 268.00 DOLLARS. THE PART ITSELF WAS ONLY 28.00 DOLLARS. THIS THEN HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN EXACTLY 2 WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AGAIN. THIS TIME I FOUND OUT THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. A SPICY TAPE THAT HONDA MAKES THAT CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE WIRING TO RESIST RODENTS I DON'T KNOW HOW EFFECTIVE THIS IS.THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE TAPE.. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN GOING ON THE 2ND DAY. THER IS A CLASS ACTION SUITE THAT WAS FILED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON. THIS DATES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2010 I WAS TOLD.
