2019 Honda Civic

BRAND NEW 2019 CIVIC WITH A LEAKING CONDENSER. CAR HAS 4862MILES, WITH ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. HONDA REFUSED COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT DONE ALL THEY CAN TO PROTECT SUCH A FRAGILE COMPONENT. WAS TOLD A "SMALL PEBBLE" HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. IN 2012 HONDA SETTLED A 40MILLION DOLLAR CLASS ACTION FOR THIS VERY SAME THING ON THE CRV AND OTHER MODELS. ON THIS CLASS ACTION THEY AGREED TO HAVE DEALERSHIPS PUT A METAL SCREEN TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THIS WITH ALL VEHICLES!?!?! HONDA IS STRAIGHT UP RUNNING A SCAM ON IT'S CUSTOMERS. AT $1,000.00 A POP PER REPAIR, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO SEEING AT LEAST 5 OF THIS TYPE OR REPAIR COMING THROUGH EVERY WEEK!! IMAGINE HOW MUCH REFRIGERANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE!? 5 A WEEK AT ONE DEALERSHIP....WOW.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MERGING FROM AN ON RAMP. THE CAR SUDDENLY DEAD STOPPED, BRAKES FULLY ENGAGED. THERE WAS A CAR NEXT TO ME, BUT NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME TO CAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD. THERE WAS NOTHING ANYWHERE AROUND ME. I APPROACHED A GREEN LIGHT, AND AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE CARS BRAKING SYSTEM FULLY ENGAGED. IT SCREECHED THE CAR TO A HALT. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE CRUISE CONTROL DROPPED OUT FOR NO REASON. I HAVE LOW PRESSURE ALARMS FOR NO REASON. THESE WERE ALWAYS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD 6 IN MAY AND JUNE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON JULY 3, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THAT AFTERNOON I HAD THE LOW PRESSURE ALARM COME ON FOR NO REASON TIRES AT AT NORMAL PRESSURE.

TRAVELING UPHILL ON HIGHWAY 17 SANTA CRUZ COUNTY CALIFORNIA THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE FAST AND THE CAR SLOWLY STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. STRONG SMELL FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR AND THE CAR COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ANY LONGER. THE CLUTCH APPEARED TO BE SLIPPING CONSTANTLY AND WOULD NOT HOLD. 12,000 MIKECWARRENTRR AND WERE AT 13000 MILES. A VERY COSTLY REPAIR GLIDE TO $5,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON FAILED TO OPERATE. WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED, THE BRAKES DID NOT HOLD. ON ONE OCCASION, THE CONTACT PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,627.

MONDAY 6.10.19 MY DAUGHTER MADE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM WARD ROAD TO 44TH AVE. AN F150 CAME TO A STOP AND SHE APPLIED BRAKES ACCORDINGLY. SHE GOT ERRORS COLLISION MITIGATION AND SHE LOST THE ABILITY TO BRAKE. SHE READ ENDED THE F150. IN HER WORDS IT WAS LIKE SLIDING ON ICE. CRASH WAS UNDER 20 MPH AND HER PHONE PICKED UP SOFTWARE ERRORS. CAR IS WITH USAA AS OF 6/13/19 WHEAT RIDGE PD WAS ON SCENE BUT NO TICKETS ISSUES DUE TO CAR FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING (50+/- MPH) ON A TWO LANE STATE ROAD, MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED, BRINGING MY VEHICLE VERY CLOSE TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO REASON I COULD SEE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME IN EITHER DIRECTION AND FORTUNATELY NO VEHICLE FOLLOWING OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. CLEAR MORNING, NOTHING ON THE ROADWAY, NO WILDLIFE I SAW. DRY AND SUNNY, NO LEAVES, NO BREEZE, BARE PAVEMENT. A SWEET JUNE MORNING IN DUTCHESS COUNTY, NY. OUT OF THE BLUE THE CMBS ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES SO HARD I COULD FEEL THE ABS KICKING ON AND IN MOMENTS I WAS AT A CRAWL, THEN THE CAR SIMPLY BEHAVED NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN A WEEK. THERE IS NO MEANS PROVIDED TO SHUT THIS FEATURE OFF PERMANENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE CMBS IS TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF EVERY TIME I RESTART THE CAR. IT RESETS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS FEATURE MAY WIND UP CAUSING MORE REAR END COLLISIONS AS IT AVOIDS FRONT END COLLISIONS. WHAT WOULD THE CONSEQUENCES BE IF THAT SCENARIO HAPPENED WHILE ON A CURVE, DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE RAIN? OR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH (OR FASTER) WHERE COMMUTERS TYPICALLY TAILGATE ACROSS THREE OR FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC? THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH CMBS IN ANY VEHICLE AND I CONSIDER IT A TOTAL FAILURE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT CAN ENGAGE WITH SUCH FORCE WHILE IT'S A FALSE ALARM.

I WAS ON A STATE ROAD EXITING ON A RAMP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING 40 MILES PER HOUR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS AGO. THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION AND ACCELERATING STOPPED. THE CAR THREW ME BACK AND FORTH CAUSING ME TO GO THE ER THE FOLLOWING DAY. RESTON HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA. I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT AFTER AND DROPPED OFF AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP IS NOT GIVING ME ANY CONCRETE ANSWERS IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I READ ONLINE A OWNER OF A HONDA 2019 CIVIC SAME AS MINE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF STOPPING WHILE IN MOTION WHILE ON A HIGHWAY SUDDENLY. I DO HAVE PRODUCT UPDATE: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DTC SPACE P0461 SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE FROM HONDA I JUST RECEIVED. DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS INVOLVED WITH MY CURRENT INCIDENT? I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR AND NOW IN PAIN MEDICINE , MUSCLE RELAXER MEDICINE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED A PLAN TO GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FROM THE DOCTOR ON CALL AT THE ER.

I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY HONDA CIVIC 2019 ON WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2019 IN THE EVENING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MESSAGE SAID "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM". WHEN I GOT TO MY HOME, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESEARCHED WHAT THE ERROR MESSAGE MIGHT MEAN. I CALLED HONDA THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL OCCURRING WITH HONDA CIVICS AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE. I HAD AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE IN REGARD TO A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO SEARCH MY VIN AND THERE WAS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO OCEAN HONDA IN WEYMOUTH TODAY AND REQUESTED WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE RECALL. I RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN DATED MARCH 21, 2019, HOWEVER I HAD LEASED MY CAR AFTER THIS DATE. I SPOKE WITH JOSH IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WHY THE SERVICE WAS NOT PERFORMED PRIOR TO MY LEASE AGREEMENT. JOSH INFORMED THAT THE RECALL IS NOT SAFETY RELATED AND IS CURRENTLY PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
