2017 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FINDLAY HONDA (7494 W AZURE DR. LAS VEGAS, NV 89130, (702) 982-4200) WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE AFTER SEVERAL TEST DRIVES. A VIDEO THAT SHOWED HOW THE FAILURE OCCURRED WAS SHOWN TO THE DEALER, BUT STILL NO DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE. IN ADDITION, WHILE CONNECTING THE BLUETOOTH TO THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IT FAILED TO CONNECT. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER FOR THE BLUETOOTH FUNCTION TO CONNECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A FIELD TECHNICIAN WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,500.

"DELAYED SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE" WHEN IN PARK POSITION, I SHIFT THE CAR TO DRIVE, AND THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY IN THE ENGAGEMENT INTO DRIVE; OR WHEN I'M ON A RIDE AND NEED TO PARK AND GO IN REVERSE. I STEP ON THE BREAK AND SHIFT TO REVERSE AND NOTICE IT TAKES ABOUT A SECOND TO A SECOND AND A HALF TO FEEL THAT THE CAR HAS ENGAGED. THE DELAY HAPPENS IF IT'S EITHER COLD IN THE MORNING OR AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR A WHILE.

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.

THIS IS A 5-DOOR HATCHBACK IN EX TRIM BOUGHT NEW 12/2016. WITHIN 2 WEEKS ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED, FROM XM TUNER GOING OUT TO MAIN HEADUNIT GOING OUT ON A INTERMITTANT BASIS. THIS DISABLES ALL AUDIO, BLUETOOTH, CLIMATE CONTROLS, BACK-UP CAMERA, & LANEWATCH. "CHECK TUNER" SHOWS BRIEFLY OFTEN. OCCURS EVEN WHEN DRIVING. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA REFUSES REPAIR. TPMS ALERT DISPLAYS FREQUENTLY, AFTER A TIRE EVEN A WHEEL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. PER DEALER & HONDA TECH ALL 4 SHOULD BE MATCHING SET @ TIME OF SERVICE, OR DEALER CAN ATTEMPT HARD RESET. SOFTWARE UPDATE RECENTLY DONE FOR THIS. TOLD TO BRING BACK TO DEALER IF/WHEN TPMS LIGHTS UP AGAIN. KNOWN POOR ANDROID AUTO PERFORMANCE & APPLE CARPLAY NON-FUNCTION, NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME (SOFTWARE ISSUES). "CHRISTMAS TREE" DISPLAY - NO ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRIC STEERING, AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, ETC ETC. NO LONG-TERM RESOLUTION, PER DEALER "SOFTWARE ISSUES". GROANING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEELS LEFT OR RIGHT FROM STOP, PER DEALER & HONDA TECH "NORMAL OPERATION". SUNROOF GLASS BREAKAGE IS AT OWNER EXPENSE, NOT A WARRANTY COVERAGE ITEM. ENGINE SHAKES/SHUDDERS ON START, AGAIN "NORMAL OPERATION" PER DEALER & HONDA TECH. POOR HORN PERFORMANCE, PER DEALER ONLY A SINGLE LOW NOTE HORN INSTALLED. NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD EASILY. OWNER EXPENSE TO UPGRADE TO BETTER (LOUDER) UNIT. ELECTRICAL GLITCHES STILL ONGOING ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES. THIS 10TH GEN CIVIC NOT RELIABLE & MAY PROVE A SAFETY CONCERN LONG-TERM. AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPLACING THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN LARGELY INDIFFERENT TOWARDS THESE ISSUES, CITING "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" EVEN "SOFTWARE ISSUES".

ELECTRONIC BRAKING FAILURE AND MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRIC GLITCHES. AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED IN PARK. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT ELECTRIC GLITCHES. FIRST LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY 2017 CIVIC TURN SIGNAL WAS STUCK ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. SECOND 1 MONTH AFTER DASH SCREEN WOULD NOT LOAD. IT WAS "BUFFERING / THINKING" TOOK IT TO AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE BUT FIXED WITH A HARD RESET AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND CHECKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND IT WAS CURRENT. THIRD PROBLEM A 2 WEEKS LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND GOT BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE PARKING BRAKES LOCKED UP. TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE HOLD AND PARKING BRAKE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE BUT WOULDN'T. HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A SECOND HARD RESET. I QUESTION IF MY CIVIC WAS PART OF THE 2016 / PARTIAL 2017 RECALL FOR ELECTRIC GLITCH THAT INCLUDED THE PARKING BRAKE ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2017 HONDA CIVIC WITH THE 1.5 LITER TURBO. I STARTED SEEING LOTS OF INFORMATION ON THE CIVIC FORUM ABOUT OIL DILUTION SO I DECIDED TO HAVE MY ENGINE OIL ANALYZED. THE REPORT CAME BACK SAYING THAT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN MY OIL WAS GREATER THAN 5% WHICH WAS DEEMED CRITICAL . THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT (THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING THERE ALL DAY), I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND AND NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ROOFTOP. I STOPPED RIGHT AWAY, GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE A BIG HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL. THE GLASS FELL ON THE ON THE INSIDE ROOF SLIDER (WHICH LUCKILY WAS CLOSED). THE MOONROOF GLASS PANEL WAS INTACT AND NOT DAMAGED FROM THE PRIOR DRIVE. IT JUST DISINTEGRATED ON ITS OWN AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND CLEARLY NOT THE RESULT OF A ROAD HAZARD/IMPACT AS HONDA/DEALERSHIP ASSERTED (EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THIS HAPPENED).
