2024 Honda Civic

The mechanics at the Honda dealership reported the following on a vehicle that has approximately 27,000 miles on it: 1. The clutch assembly failed and requires a complete clutch kit replacement. 2. The crankshaft oil seal is leaking, which causes oil to be splattered around the engine bay as the crankshaft spins. 3. Timing chain tensioner cover is seeping oil. Honda provided a video showing the exterior of the vehicle only. The video did not show video evidence the clutch was faulty, or that any leaks were present. The safety of the driver and surrounding traffic was put at risk because the vehicle became unreliable (degraded powertrain performance) due to premature failure of the clutch assembly. Leaky crankshaft oil seal and timing chain tensioner cover are leaking lubricants onto hot engine surfaces, causing noxious fumes. These fumes entered the cabin of the vehicle, putting the health of the driver at risk. The problems listed above were confirmed by a service technician at the Honda dealership. The vehicle/components listed above have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others at this time. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The problem first appeared when the driver was driving home from New Jersey to Virginia on 3/15/2026. She experienced shuddering when the vehicle shifted from first to second gear, then second to third gear. A noxious odor was detected inside the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealership on 3/16/2026.

The cotter pin and washer nuts connecting the brake pedal to the brake booster are completely missing from my vehicle. Unsure if it was even installed when I purchased the vehicle in 2024. Noticed the issue last Friday the 13th of February, 2026. brought it into a dealership Tuesday the 17th of February, 2026. They diagnosed that the pin was completely gone, which if such was the case i am unsure as to how i’ve been driving the vehicle normally until Friday, but if its just not there then I have reason to suspect that it was never installed properly in the first place, and through normal wear and tear it finally decided to give? But that still wouldn’t explain why its completely missing, and not in the car.

The contact leased a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, and making a lane change, the steering wheel overcorrected the change due to the automatic lane corrector and swerved across two lanes inadvertently, and collided with a semitruck and then into a wall.

I’ve taken my car to the dealer multiple times for an issue with steering and a loud clunk in my front end that wasn’t there when I bought it. I’ve constantly been told it’s normal or nothing is wrong but it’s becoming a real concern for me to drive I’ve almost been veered into oncoming traffic because the car wanders and steering doesn’t react very well. I’ve tried switching wheels and tires and still same issue. I need help because this car is unsafe to drive.

At speeds 35+ MPH the steering has a “sticky” “notch” feeling making steering at high speed very difficult to do smoothly, especially when cornering. This has led to close-calls nearly resulting in accidents, but fortunately being avoided. I suspect it has to do with the steering rack issue that is a common complaint with this MY.

My Honda will randomly beep and slam the brakes but there is nothing in front of me, it has done this multiple times and getting to the point I’m scared it will cause an accident. When it happened the first time I thought maybe it was because it was slightly raining, but it will do it regardless of the weather conditions. It has happened probably 5+ times, and it’s starting to become more frequent.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH on a rainy day and pulling into driveway at the residence, the steering wheel became very loose and then very firm. The contact stated that the LKAS feature activated and independently steered the vehicle over to the right. The contact attempted to turn the steering wheel to the left, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle made an abnormal sound before sliding like it was on ice and crashed into two other vehicles parked in the driveway which did minor damages to both vehicles. The contact lost consciousness from the impact with the first vehicle for approximately one second. The contact stated that after crashing into the second vehicle, the vehicle temporarily returned to normal operation and the brake pedal was depressed; however, the steering wheel was still firm and unresponsive. The contact stated that no air bags deployed during the crash. The contact then called 911 for assistance. No medical attention was required because the contact had not suffered any injuries. The contact stated that a Police Report was filed. The local dealer was contacted and provided the contact a number to call however, the number was inoperable. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (STEERING); for which the VIN was included. The contact stated that the local dealer was contacted several times over several months but was unable to provide the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the vehicle was towed a collision center. There was no information if the vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

When using the backseat armrest and cup holders, if you have a hot coffee, to go, from let’s say Starbucks, no matter the size, it will come out of the cup holder in certain turns, when the car is moving. It’s spilled multiple times on my kids and a friend, who had scalding on their hands. This is very unsafe and the cup holders need to be deeper, they are very shallow, to hold to go cups, even sodas from McDonald’s will come out of the cup holders when the car is turning at medium speeds around corners, 30 MPH or so.
