What 166 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Honda Civic Cng

A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM DEALER OWNED SINCE 10-24-2013 I EXPERIENCE POWER SURGES WHEN STOPPED AT STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE WHERE RPM'S RACE TO 3,500 RPM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND LEAVES NO ERROR CODE SO IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT. I HAD CAR AT SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. ON 1-27-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR RPM PROBLEM WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND SOME OTHER INCIDENTS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKS OVER CAR AND FINDS NOTHING WRONG. ON 3-20-14 I DROP OFF CAR, FOR SAME PROBLEM AS NOTED ABOVE. SERVICE DEPT. LOOKS AND FINDS 2 PCM UPDATES FROM HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN AND REPROGRAMMED PGM-FI ID: NAA740 AND A/T NAA670 FAILED P/N: 37820-RNA-A75 ON 5-21-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR SAME PROBLEM AS ABOVE AND FELT LIKE CAR ENGINE SPEED WAS ON EVEN ON HIGHWAY ONE MORNING. SERVICE DEPT. PREFORMED PCM/ECV RESET AND CKP RE-LEARN ON 7-21-14 I DROP OFF CAR FOR SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME CAR RACED TO 3,500 RPM FOR 7 SECONDS WHILE FOOT IS ON BRAKE. DANGEROUS (SAFTEY)? SERERICE DEPT. CLEARED PCM OF TP SENSOR READINGS. PERFORMED RELEARN FOR TP SENSOR. COMPLETED THE PCM RE-LEARN. COMPLETED IDLE RE-LEARN. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS CAN OR WILL LAST??? BEFORE NEXT POWER SURGE OR IS IT FIXED? IF THINGS STAY CONSISTANT THEN IT WOULD BE AROUND SEPTEMBER AND MY WARRANTY IS GETTING CLOSE TO EXPIRING. *JS

A/C BLOWING HOT AIR. MY MECHANIC ADVISED THAT "ROAD DEBRIS" PUNCTURED A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER COIL, WHICH IS THE VERY FIRST THING BEHIND THE FRONT BUMPER. NOTHING IS VISIBLE THAT WOULD PROTECT THE DELICATE COIL FROM NORMAL DRIVING. SINCE THERE IS NO RETROFIT AVAILABLE, NOTHING PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM THE DAMAGE HAPPENING AGAIN, AFTER A COSTLY REPAIR BILL. HONDA NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS DESIGN FLAW AND PAY FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THE SUNVISOR IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS BROKEN. AT FIRST, ONE SIDE SPLIT OPEN AND WASN'T KEEPING THE VISOR IN PLACE LETTING IT FALL IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S FACE. AFTER FEW DAYS, IT COMPLETELY FELT OFF. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAVE ABOUT 24,000 MILES, I DON'T DRIVE IT VERY MUCH AND I THINK IT IS BAD QUALITY IN THEIR SUNVISOR. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $110, THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOT IN RECALL BECAUSE IS THE 2011 MODEL. *TR

CONSISTENT PREMATURE AND UNEVEN TIRE WARE IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. THE REAR TIRES STARTED VIBRATING. I TOOK THEM CARE TO A TIRE PLACE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WENT BACK DUE TO NON-ROTATION OF THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AT 6,000 MILES, BUT WERE STILL DAMAGED. THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAD A 24,000 WARE LIFE. SUBSEQUENT TO REPLACING THE ORIGINAL TIRES, I HAVE PUT 90,000 MILE MICHELIN TIRES ON THE CARE. WITH CONSISTENT ROTATION, THE TIRES WARE OUT WITH THE WASHBOARD EFFECT BETWEEN 25,000 AND 30,000 MILES. AT 100,000 MILES, I HAVE REPLACE THE TIRE 3 TIMES WITH 90,000 MILE TIRES. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 10,000 MILES. ON A FEW OCCASIONS (MONTHS APART) WHILE APPLYING MY BRAKES, THE PEDAL COLLAPSES TO THE FLOORBOARD AND I FEEL GRINDING COMING FROM THE PEDAL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AT A LOW SPEED AND ON A DECLINE/SLOPE.. FOR EXAMPLE, LEAVING A CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT. UP TO THIS POINT, THE CAR HAS ALWAYS RESPONDED TO THE BRAKES, BUT IT IS AS IF I'M BLEEDING THE BRAKES.. BRAKE PRESSURE IS GOOD AND IN AN INSTANT, IT IS GONE. *TR

I LEASED THIS CIVIC ON FEBRUARY 2011 AND IN DECEMBER 2011 10 MONTHS LATER THE BREAKS AND ROTORS WERE GONE AND ONLY ONE SIDE. ODD AFTER HAVING HAD THEM SERVICED IN SEPTEMBER AND THE DEALER GIVING ME 100% LIFE ON THEM. HAD TO PAY TO FIX BRAKES AND ROTORS. TEN MONTHS LATER SEPTEMBER 2012 AGAIN BRAKES OUT HAS TO CHANGE AGAIN. NOW AGAIN SEPTEMBER 2013 BRAKES AND ROTORS. WITHOUT ANY SIGNALS THAT MY BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT. NOW MORE COSTS TO FIX THIS IN A 2011 HONDA CIVIC . RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME TO CHANGE BREAKS WITHIN A 2.5 YEARS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE. I USE MY CAR TO TRAVEL TO WORK EVERYDAY AND RUN ERRANDS AND ONCE IN A WHILE DRIVE A MAX OF 100 MILES AT ONE TIME TO LA. I HAVE HAD MY TUNDRA FOR THREE YEARS NEVER HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BRAKES. NOW I HEAR THE ROTORS AND ITS CRAZY TO THINK MY BRAKES ARE GONE WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. *JB

THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY HONDA CIVIC HAD TO BE REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AT 17,000 MILES. IT HAD FAILED RIGHT AT THE END OF THE HONDA 1 YEAR WARRANTY (THE FIRST DATE IS ESTIMATED BUT I CAN DIG IT OUT FROM THE HONDA DEALER IF THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE) I HAVE ONLY THE ESTIMATED FIRST DATE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FLUKE AND HONDA COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, MY NEXT SET OF BRAKES FAILED AT 15,000 MILES. THE ACTUAL DATE WAS 7/8/2013 ON THIS FAILURE. AGAIN THEY HAVE WARANTIED THE BRAKES. I AM ON MY 3RD SET OF BRAKES AND THE CAR HAS NOT EVEN HIT 40-50,000 MILES. THAT IS IF MY BRAKES WERE BEING RIDDEN HARD. AT SOME POINT I AM CONCERNED THAT HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO BE WELL KNOWN. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE HONDA CIVICS. IT APPEARS THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS AND ARE LEAVING PEOPLE TWISTING IN THE WIND. I DON'T KNOW OF A MORE CRITICAL COMPONENT TO A VEHICLES SAFETY THAN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT CAN HARM BOTH DRIVER, PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER MOTORISTS AND CAUSE A FINANCIAL CALAMITY TO BOTH DRIVER AND OTHER PARTIES. PLEASE MAKE HONDA FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION SO THAT WE CAN DRIVE A SAFE CAR. THERE IS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA, I PREFER NOT TO GET INVOLVED INTO THIS BUT RATHER HAVE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM. OTHER THAN THAT IT HAS BEEN A GOOD VEHICLE. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A FINANCIAL REWARD I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED AND PROPERLY ENGINEERED SO THAT THE BRAKES WON'T FAIL PREMATURELY. IT CAN BE COSTLY IF I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ONCE A YEAR. *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING GARAGE AND INTENDED TO PULL INTO AN OPEN SPACE ON MY LEFT. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT CRASHED INTO THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF THE OPEN SPACE AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, PUSHING THE OTHER CAR INTO THE CAR TO ITS RIGHT. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT BUT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL. MY CAR FINALLY PUSHED THE OTHER CAR OUT OF THE WAY AND MY CAR SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE OPEN SPACE AND STOPPED. HAD THE CONCRETE BLOCK NOT BEEN THERE, I WOULD HAVE FLOWN OVER THE SIDE OF THE THIRD LEVEL OF THIS PARKING GARAGE. MY FOOT WAS IN NO WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. ALSO, A NON-HONDA MECHANIC EXPERIENCED THE SAME REVVING ISSUE WHEN HE INSPECTED THE CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND WILL NOT REFUND US THE COST OF DAMAGES WE PAID OUT OF POCKET. BUT THEY DID BUY THE CAR BACK AND BUY OUT THE REMAINING 6 MONTHS OF MY LEASE, INDICATING THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT WERE NOT WILLING TO OWN UP TO IT. *TR

ON 03-16-2013 I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 FREEWAY NORTH THROUGH ORANGE COUNTY CA. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN, MY CAR`S BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AT ALL. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE AND THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY HITTING THE CURB. THERE WERE NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT AT ANY TIME INDICATING TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. I HAD CAR TOWED TO NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME I MUST HAVE DRIVEN OVER A PIECE OF RUBBER DEBRIS. THIS PIECE OF RUBBER DAMAGED RIGHT WHEEL EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE, CAUSING RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO DRAG AND BOIL THE BRAKE FLUID, THUS CAUSING TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL.I FOUND OUT BOTH REAR BRAKES WERE DAMAGED, EVEN THOUGH ONLY THE RIGHT EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS DAMAGED. I HAD TO PAY$1300 FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS UNDER FULL FACTORY WARRANTY. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO AND ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION HOW IS THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON 2011 HONDA CIVIC DESIGNED IF A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAN BE CAUSED BY A PIECE OF RUBBER DEBRIS. I ALSO WANTED TO KNOW, HOW A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY OTHER QUESTION WAS WHAT AMERICA HONDA MOTOR CO. WILL DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN ON MINE AND OTHER 2011 CIVIC MODELS. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY OF MY QUESTIONS.SHE STATED THAT SINCE THERE WAS NOT ANY ACCIDENT, EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THEM. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED TRAGICALLY AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOU TO INVESTIGATE AND FOLLOW UP ON IT. *TR

MAIN HEADLIGHTS FAILED FOR A TIME PERIOD (~15 MINUTES) AT VARIOUS TIMES. HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND PROBLEM OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS LAST WEEK WHEN THERE WAS A TERRIBLE STORM. FIRST TIME WHEN IT WAS SNOWING REALLY HARD. THE OTHER TWO TIMES THE WEATHER WAS JUST FINE, NO RAIN OR SNOW. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER TWICE, BUT BOTH TIMES THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER, UNDER MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD, BECAUSE THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT "ROAD DEBRIS" PUNCTURED A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER COIL, WHICH IS THE VERY FIRST THING BEHIND THE FRONT BUMPER. NOTHING IS VISIBLE THAT WOULD PROTECT THE DELICATE COIL FROM NORMAL DRIVING. INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CALLED SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERS, ALL OF WHICH ADMITTED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I CALLED HONDA, AND WAS ADVISED THEIR POSITION IS NOT TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AS THEY DO NOT FEEL THIS IS AN EQUIPMENT OR DESIGN FLAW. SINCE THERE IS NO RETROFIT AVAILABLE, NOTHING PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM THE DAMAGE HAPPENING AGAIN, AFTER A COSTLY REPAIR BILL. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE, AND FOUND A SETTLED CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BETWEEN HONDA AND HONDA OWNERS FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. "SPECIFICALLY, THE COMPLAINT ALLEGED THAT THE CONDENSER WAS PLACED IN A POSITION THAT WAS VULNERABLE TO CONTACT FROM ROCKS, PEBBLES AND OTHER ROAD DEBRIS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON PAVED ROADWAYS, AND THAT HONDA FAILED TO DESIGN THE VEHICLE EITHER TO WITHSTAND THIS IMPACT OR WITH A GUARD OR GRILL THAT WOULD PROTECT THE CONDENSER DESPITE THE 'CLEAR VULNERABILITY' OF THE CONDENSER TO THIS DEBRIS CONTACT." - ALIN V. HONDA MOTOR CO. LTD. ET AL., CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THE LAWSUIT SETTLED IN SEPTEMBER 2011. THIS LAWSUIT DID NOT INCLUDE CIVICS, BUT LOCAL DEALERS AND VEHICLE BLOGS SHOW THAT THIS IS, AND HAS BEEN, A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FROM BACK BEFORE THIS LAWSUIT . HONDA CLAIMED I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO CALL THEM WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM TRYING TO WORK THIS OUT WITHOUT PARTICIPATING IN A CURRENT CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT INVESTIGATION FOR THIS ISSUE, FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS VERY DISTRESSING THAT HONDA WAS WELL AWARE OF THE DESIGN FLAW AND FAULTY/FLIMSY MATERIAL CAUSING THIS ISSUE, AND DID EXACTLY NOTHING TO PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NEED NEW FRONT BRAKES AND ONLY 20,000 MILES; WAS TOLD IT'S MY IN-CITY DRIVING, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SAW THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR SAME PROBLEM FOR 2008, 2009 AND 2010 MODELS... *TR

VEHICLE ROLLOVER CRASH. FIRE SEEMS TO BE FROM A RECALLED FUEL VALVE. IF MY FAMILY BURNT ALIVE IN THAT VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE A SICK VENDETTA FOR THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NON REPORTING OF SAFETY CONCERNS TO ME AS AN INSURED DRIVER. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED OR RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A CHILD SAFETY CONCERN. CHILDREN CAN BE BURNED ALIVE DUE TO THIS HAZARD OF ENGINEERING DESIGNED TO CAUSE TOTAL DESTRUCTION FOR PROFITING PURPOSES. THE TECHNOLOGIES AT HAND ARE TOO GREAT FOR THIS TYPE OF ABSOLUTE INCOMPETENCE TO OCCUR. HONDA SHOULD BE BARRED FROM DOING BUSINESS IN THE US UNTIL SUCH ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC 2011, I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT MUCH. I ONLY HAVE 24800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I GOT IT NEW. I ALSO HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. NOW I'M TOLD I NEED FRONT BRAKES THEY ARE METAL TO METAL. I'M SORRY BUT I'VE HAD OTHER CARS, I'VE HAD TOYOTA'S ALL THE TIME AND IT WAS A 2008 COROLLA. I DIDN'T NEED BRAKES TILL IT HAD ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T DRIVE CRAZY DON'T DRIVE FAST NOR BRAKE ALL THE SUDDEN SO MY BRAKES WOULD BE METAL TO METAL THIS FAST. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OTHER THAN THEY ARE DEFECTIVE OR THEY ARE VERY CHEAP BRAKES. I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR LIKE THEY SAY. I WORK WITH MECHANICS AND THEY SAY IT'S NOT NORMAL UNLESS MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M DRIVING AND IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. I DON'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE LIKE THAT. I ALSO DON'T DRIVE FAST, I NORMALLY LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN FIRST BEFORE EVEN BRAKING. SO I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THIS. I'M HAVING THE DEALER IN GARDENA CA. DO THE BRAKES I NEED MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MYSELF. I WILL PAY BUT I DO NEED AN INVESTIGATION FOR IT. I DO WANT A REFUND ON THIS. *TR
