2018 Honda Civic

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle started to idle very rough. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was an engine cylinder misfire failure with DTC codes: P0302 and P0303. Additionally, the contact stated that there was a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. Fuel injectors were replaced by owner April 10, 2022. Upon oil change the same day, oil was very dark, despite only having 600 miles use since last changed and there was fuel noted in oil. Pictures were sent to NHTSA. Since changing injectors fuel mileage has improved greatly. The car has gone from averaging 37MPG to around 41MPG. Oil changed on 6/27/22, coloration was normal for routing change and did not note fuel in oil. No warning lights or issues with operation since injectors changed. The P0302 & P0303 codes were to be covered as part of a service bulletin relating to oil dilution but both Honda corp & dealership stated that injectors were not covered as part of the service bulletin. Even though the injectors could be directly responsible for the oil dilution issue if not properly functioning and throwing codes associated with the bulletin. Owner incurred the expense of rental car for a week, two lost days of onsite work with employer, and cost to purchase injectors. Will provide receipts.

Failed component: electronic steering gearbox and Steering Electric Power Assist System Safety: The steering wheel maneuverability is compromised by continuously pulling to the left and requiring the driver to pull the wheel to the right for correction or vehicle will drift into the left lane, increasing the risk of a crash. This back and forth movement to correct the steering wheel pull requires the driver to constantly move the steering wheel back and forth to keep the vehicle in the current lane. Problem brought to Slidell Honda dealer 3/9/2022. Dealer did a sensor relearn but unsuccessful. Dealer recommends replacement of electronic steering gearbox, for which there is a current Honda recall C2N, P20 but does not include my VIN#. Reported to Honda, case no. [XXX]. Honda offers to pay 75% of my repair cost which is unacceptable for a defective part that is under a recall. NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 18V663000 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

The steering wheel sticks, so if traveling at highway speeds and you need to do a subtle course correction to stay centered in your lane, the force necessary to 'unstick' the steering wheel causes an oversteer condition and can cause you to exit your lane unintentionally. This is apparently a known issue but Honda is not addressing.

2018 Civic Hatchback with less than 18,000 miles on it - noticed A/C was not blowing cool air, so took it into dealership for evaluation. Was told the freon was low but the issue was not due to the condenser and would not be covered under the 2016-19 Civic A/C Condenser Warranty extension. Dealership said they looked at everything possible without disassembling through the dash and so gave me the option to either perform a diagnostic leak test/Freon recharge ($400, with the caveat that the leak may still be there and this would be a temporary fix) or to replace the evaporator entirely ($1800). Unfortunately the car is no longer covered under factory warranty since it’s over 3yrs old. Does not make sense that for a vehicle that’s <4 years old with <18K miles this is an issue.

The AC on my vehicle has broken three times since I bought the car in 2018. The compressor and condenser have been replaced but this time it's likely the evaporator. I have been told that it will cost thousands of dollars since the entire dashboard will have to be removed. And I don't know if it's even worth fixing if this cycle of breakdowns is going to repeat itself every year. I am so disappointed because I am a long time Honda owner and there has been no support from corporate so far. The only thing they have done recently is that they continually hound me to invest in an extended warranty. But I believe that I shouldn't be forced to invest more money in order to pay for a defect on their end. Who knew that a Honda could be a lemon?

I am experiencing issues with my 2018 Honda Civic LX A/C. Here is the history of the A/C issues. December 2020 A/C stopped working and went in for maintenance for a check up. Told me condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and was covered under warranty. However the condenser was back ordered and I couldn't get it replaced at that time. April 2021 Condenser was in stock and went into the dealership to get it fixed on warranty. January 2022 A/C was blowing hot air again so I bought it back to the dealership. Was told the evaporator/compressor was leaking and was quoted $4,000 to get it fixed. Summary: Had constant A/C issues and was finally quoted $4,000 to fix the A/C on a car that is only 4 years old.

I got the car with free accident carfax at Toyota in Waldorf Md . A Honda Civic 2018 with 39000 . The radio wasn’t working and one speaker was broke , they promise me that they were going to fix it , when I tried to find the antena I realize that the back window wasn’t from the manufacture so I took the car to the dealer they sent me to Honda in Waldorf they didn’t want to fix it cuz I bough the car at Toyota after I left I was making a turn I can said I was like 5 or leas miles an hour and the airbag deployed on me with no accidents ( when I had the car not even a month ) when I took the car to the dealer the manager told me that they were goi g to check the car , after 2 weeks I kept passing by the dealer and the car wasn’t moving when I asked they said it was dangerous to drive but I have to move the car cuz the airbag was deployed cu of my fault I said why ? He didn’t have an answer and since then they ignore me and they don’t want to fix the car when they lie to me with a clean carfax and I found out too that the car has been in the coalition by Toyota . They said that I got the front of the car cuz the tag was bend but if u see the picture when I got the car it was already bent , the rims were different from the picts that they have for sale , paint don’t match .
