2017 Honda Civic

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC ON JANUARY 7, 2017. PREVIOUSLY MY NEW CAR DID NOT WANT TO START ON 1/28/17. 21 DAYS AFTER MY NEW PURCHASE. I HAD THE SAME TROUBLE AGAIN WHEN MY NEW CAR DID NOT WANT TO START ON 4/29/17 AT 5:20PM. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AT 1-866-864-5211 AND THEY SAID A TOW TRUCK WOULD ARRIVE AT 6PM. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP AT 6PM. AT 6PM I RECEIVED A TEXT THAT A TOW TRUCK WOULD SHOW UP AT 6:45PM. IT WAS VERY HOT AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SUFFER FROM A HEAT STROKE. AFTER MANY TRIES, MY CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AT 6:15PM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/1/17 TO CLAWSON IN FRESNO, CA. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RENTALS AND THEY WOULD CALL ME ON 5/2/17. THEY DID NOT CALL ME ON 5/2/17. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/2/17 AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RENTAL CARS. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AT 1-800-999-1009 AND CLAWSON HONDA AUTHORIZED A RENTAL CAR FOR ONE DAY.

I LEASED MY HONDA CIVIC FROM HERB CHAMBERS HONDA OF BOSTON IN NOV. 2016. IN MARCH 2017 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING, THEY TOLD ME THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED ON THE WIRES UNDER MY VEHICLE. AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND MY CAR RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE WIRING (UNDER MY CAR) DUE TO THE SOYBEAN COATING THAT HONDA IS USING ON THE WIRE COVERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR WARRANTY. REMIND YOU "THIS IS A LEASE." MY BRAND- NEW LEASED CAR WAS COMPLETED DEAD AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T DIE ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAVE READ ONLINE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAD TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLES. I WAS QUOTED $2,600 IN REPAIRS. I ENDED UP PAYING A $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS IN PLACE IN CA AND OTHER STATES REGARDING THE "SOY-BASED WIRE COVERING." THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE BY HONDA.

MY NEW CAR WILL LET YOU TURN OFF (PUSH BUTTON) AND GET OUT AND WALK AWAY WHILE STILL BEING IN GEAR. I EXITED MY VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION AND IT ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE AND HIT A TREE. IT WAS 3 FEET FROM ROLLING INTO A HIGHWAY THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. OLDER CARS YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY. YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR WITHOUT SOME OTHER SAFETY FEATURE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE RPMS DECREASED TO ZERO. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT AFTER A FEW MINUTES, BUT THE ENGINE SHOOK. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. UPDATED 08/23/17*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILED. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE ON THE FREEWAY, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RE-ROUTED THEM AS THOUGH THEY WERE ON THE STREET. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S RADIO FAILED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE RADIO STILL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TUNER AND ANTENNA NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REARVIEW AND PASSENGER SIDE CAMERAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL CONSOLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,900.

I TOOK MY CAR IN DUE TO THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED AT MY RESIDENCE ADDRESSED TO ME ID# 14-034 STATING CLOUD PAINT ON ROOF AND TRUNK AND AN EXTENSION WAS GIVEN. I REMEMBER IT WAS A TUESDAY I TOOK IN BECAUSE THEY SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT IS WHEN PICTURES COULD BE TAKEN AT THE DEALER AND THEN SENT IN FOR APPROVALS. I HAD SOME OTHER THINGS DONE ON MY CAR AND THERE IS RECORD OF IT. HOWEVER THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL AND TOOK THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS ADDRESSED TO ME AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS OF THE CAR. AT THAT TIME THE CLOUDING ON MY CAR WAS MINIMAL HOWEVER NOW A FEW YEAR OUT IT LOOKS LIKE ACID SPILLED ON MY CAR. IT'S ALSO INTERESTING TO SEE SEVERAL OTHER SAME MODEL CARS OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUES. I DID FILE A CLAIM WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEN LATER TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER FOR ANY APPROVALS SINCE ITS WAY PAST THE DEADLINE. I DID AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MEET WITH A SPECFIC PERSON NAMED CASEY AND MADE ANOTHER VISIT AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO LONG STORY SHORT BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH AND FEEL THEY ARE DOING SOME SHADY BUSINESS. SO FRUSTRATED THAT I REFUSED TO BUY MY NEW CAR WITH HONDA AND DECIDED TO BUY A NISSAN ROGUE. I STILL OWN MY CIVIC BUT NOW I AM DETERRED TO EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN. I FEEL I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF WHEN I WENT IN DURING THE TIME FRAME AND I WAS THERE WITH MY ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2017 WITH 11 MILES ON 1/7/17. 21 DAYS LATER, ON 1/28/17 MY CAR DID NOT START AFTER WORK. THE TOW TRUCK HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR AND AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS IT STARTED. I WORK DOWNTOWN AND IT WAS DARK AND LATE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. I AM FEARFUL THAT MY "NEW" CAR MAY NOT START AGAIN.
