THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST IF YOU STAND NEXT TO THE CAR WHILE IT'S IDLING & PARKED OR STATIONARY. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2014 OR 15 AND NOTICED IT SOON AFTER. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED FOR EXHAUST LEAKS A FEW TIMES, BUT NO ONE HAS FOUND ONE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH EMISSIONS, AND LET FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IF A DOOR OR WINDOW WAS OPEN LONG ENOUGH.

I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WAS GONE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND SAID THE CONTROL UNIT WAS WORKING OKAY. THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE MY CAR AFTER IT BEING FIXED, I LOSE POWER STEERING AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN, THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND IT WAS FINE. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO BE CHECKED.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE CAUSING ME TO STOP THE CAR ABRUBETLY. LUCKILY I WASN`T HIT AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR NEARLY 37 YEARS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. OTHER OWNERS OF 2012 HONDA CIVICS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND TAKING MY COMPLAINT.

ON OCT. 24 AND 25, 2018, A MESSAGE "AIRBAG SYSTEM" SUDDENLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. ON OCT. 25, 2018, I TOOK THE CAR TO ROBERTSON HONDA WERE THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I WAS ASKED IF MY CAR WAS EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND I SAID NO. HE INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. WHEN I PROTESTED, HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK WITH HIS SUPERVISOR AND WHEN HE CAME BACK HE SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $90.00. I DIDN'T TAMPER WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SO HONDA SHOULD ABSORB THE COSTS,. I CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF RECALL, AND THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE SAID AMOUNT. ARE THEY RIGHT?

THE SUNROOF ON MY 2012 HONDA CIVIC SUNROOF WON'T CLOSE. IT GETS STUCK AND IT DOES A CLICKING SOUND. BASED ON PREVIOUS FORUM PAGES THIS ISSUES IS ONGOING WITH MANY OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO WATER GETTING IN THE VEHICLE AND OTHER DEBRIS.
