What 454 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Honda Civic Type R

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WIPE THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS SMEAR THE WATER AND DECREASE THE VISIBILITY. AT NIGHT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR LIGHTS REFLECT AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVERS VISION. I HAVE HAD THE WIPERS REPLACED TWICE AND NO SOLUTION. THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP ? *TR

THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY CAN FIND NO HISTORY OF SUCH SITUATIONS IN THEIR DATABASE AND TOOK NO ACTION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY, PARTICULARLY AFTER IDLING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AT LONG STOP LIGHTS. *TR

I NEED HELP TO LET HONDA MANUFACTURER TO AWARE THIS PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG GO OFF EVEN SOME 1 IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE . *TR

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFF WARNING HAS HAPPENED ON AN IRREGULAR BASIS. WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (SHE WEIGHS 110 LBS), THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WILL TURN OFF AND WE RECEIVE A WARNING AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS OR MINUTES THE WARNING DISAPPEARS. THIS WILL HAPPEN SOMETIMES UP TO 2 DOZEN TIMES IN AN HOUR TRIP - OTHER TIMES WE CAN GO A FEW WEEKS WITH NO WARNING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REMAINING ON. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY - EVEN THOUGH IN MY OWNERS MANUAL TELLS ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IF THE WARNING OCCURS AND THE PERSON IN THE SEAT WEIGHS MORE THAN 29KGS. THE DEALER SAYS THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH "SMALL" PEOPLE (NOTE: WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT AT 165LBS - NO WARNINGS) AND SUGGESTED THAT MY GIRLFRIEND RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT. MY CONCERN IS THE SIDE AIRBAG WILL BE OFF WHEN NEEDED AND THE RANDOMNESS OF THE PROBLEM INDICATES A FAULT IN THE SYSTEM - WE HAVE TRIED TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS PATTERN TO THE WARNING SUCH IS SHE SITTING IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT IS SHE MOVING/NOT MOVING ETC. WITH NO HELP. HONDA OF AMERICA STATES THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM AS PER CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS - I DISAGREE AND NOW I AM DOWN TO SEEKING ARBITRATION THROUGH THE BBB WHERE HONDA WILL WIN BASED ON MY PAST EXPERIENCE WITH BBB. *TR

WHEN EXITING A SPEED RAMP OFF OF THE HIGHWAY THE RPM'S SPEED UP CAUSING A HORRIBLE SOUND IN THE ENGINE AND THE FEELING THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME TO EXIT THE RAMP. ADDITIONALLY, MORE THAN A NUMEROUS TIMES THE CAR IS VERY UNSTEADY GOING OVER 55MPH IF IT ENCOUNTERS ANY TYPE OF "BUMP" IN THE HIGHWAY UPON MERGING INTO ANOTHER LANE IT IS UNSTEADY AND THE WHOLE CAR "JERKS",(FEELS LIKE IT COULD ROLLOVER EASILY)YOU NEED TO HAVE A FIRM HOLD ON THE STEERING WHEEL OR YOU COULD LOSE CONTROL. GLARE ON WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH NIGHT DRIVING. THE HEADRESTS ARE A HINDER TO BEING ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY SEE YOUR BLIND SPOT AND THE CAR WITH ITS HORRIBLE STEERING CONTROL PRESENTS ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN, YOU WILL BE IN THE OTHER LANE TRYING TO LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER MORE THAN ONCE! *TR

WHEN I AM ABOUT TO GO DOWNHILL AND TAKE AN EXIT AT 40 MPH AFTER DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED OF 65 MPH FOR SOME TIME I SEE THIS PROBLEM. RPM IS SUDDENLY SPIKING UP FROM 1500 TO 2500 AND STAYS THERE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. HIT BRAKES OR GAS DOES NOT BRING IT DOWN. GOOD THING IS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOING UP. THAT'S THE GOOD SIGN BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM WITH ECON DRIVE BUT I TURNED IT OFF ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I TOOK MY 2012 HONDA CIVIC FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD MY REAR BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THEY REPLACED REAR BRAKE PADS, NEW SHIM PLATES, RESURFACED ROTORS. MY REAR BRAKES WERE AT 2MM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW COULD THE REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT BEFORE THE FRONT BRAKES THEY WERE AT 7MM. I THINK MY REAR BRAKING SYSTEM MUST BE DEFECTIVE. *TR

DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF MY DAUGHTER OWNING THE 2012 CIVIC SHE HAS ENCOUNTERED AIR BAG ISSUES. WHEN SHE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WITH HER HUSBAND DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON, INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHE MAY NOT BE PROTECTED WITH THE AIRBAG DURING AN ACCIDENT, THEY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THREE DOCUMENTED TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS EXCLUDES THE MULTIPLE TRIPS BACK WHEN PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED OR BEING SENT HOME WITHOUT SERVICE DUE TO TIME ISSUES. THE DEALER IS LARGO HONDA IN FLORIDA CITY, FLORIDA. EACH TIME SHE WENT, THEY CHANGED DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES ASKED HER TO STAY FOR A TEST DRIVE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE REPRODUCED AND TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE OF A MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT OF THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED. EACH TIME THE SAFETY PROBLEM SURFACED EITHER ON THE RIDE HOME OR WITHIN A DAY OR TWO OF BEING IN FOR THE REPAIR. IN FACT THE LAST TIME THEY RETURNED THE CAR FOR SERVICE TO LARGO THEY REPLACED THE FULL PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT RESOLVING THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ANYONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE QUESTION IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONAL OR NOT. *TR

I AM A FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVER, DRIVE WITH THE ECON BUTTON ON MOS OF THE TIME. I DRIVE 150 MILES 5 TIMES A WEEK. EVERY TIME I AM GOING DOWNHILL AND I PUSH THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THE RPM'S GO UP. I ALSO TRIED DRIVING WITHOUT THE ECON TO SEE IF IT WOULD CHANGE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. YOU WOULD THINK BY HITTING THE BRAKES A LITTLE HARDER WOULD DO THE TRICK TO DECREASE SPEED, BUT IT DOESN'T. AS YOU START HOLDING THE BREAKS FOR A LONG TIME, THEN THE RPS WOULD DECREASE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING. EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.CIVICFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/210-ENGINE/350659-2012-HONDA-CIVIC-EX-ENGINE-BRAKING-ECON-BUTTON.HTML. *TR

THE SEATS, PARTICULARLY THE FRONT SEATS, CAUSE EXTREME PAIN IN THE BUTTOCKS AND LEGS. THIS WAS NOT EVIDENT DURING MY TEST DRIVE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE (SAME MODEL). BUT AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN AFTER DRIVING ABOUT TEN MINUTES THAT I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING IT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST ME, BUT I NOW SEE ON LINE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED ADDING LUMBAR SUPPORTS AND VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS OF PILLOWS BUT THEY DO NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS TILTED SO FAR FORWARD THAT ONE'S NECK IS TILTED FORWARD CAUSING ANOTHER SET OF ISSUES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DRIVING IN THE NORMAL POSITION. *TR

I BOUGHT A FULLY LOADED 2012 HONDA CIVIC SI SEDAN, WITH NAVIGATION. CAR WAS WONDERFUL FIRST FEW WEEKS, THEN THE ISSUES STARTED. WHEN I ENGAGED THE CLUTCH INTO 1ST GEAR, ALSO REVERSE, WHEN I WOULD LEVEL THE CLUTCH WITH THE GAS PEDAL, I WOULD HEAR A HIGH PITCH NOISE. KIND OF LIKE A SQUEAL. IN ALL TYPES OF CONDITIONS. IT IS WORSE IN THE SNOW, RAIN, UP A HILL, AND WHAT NOT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, THE TECH TESTDROVE IT WITH ME. HE HEARD THE NOISE, HE SAID THAT HE HEARD IT. HE THINKS IT WAS SOMETHING HITTING THE CLUTCH-PLATE. HE SAID OH HONDA IS NOT GONG TO FIX THIS DUE TO YOUR STYLE OF DRIVING I SAID EXCUSE ME? HE SAID WELL THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE AN INTAKE, AND AN EXHAUST. BY THE MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT OF 1975 IT STATES: IF A VEHICLE IS BOUGHT NEW, AND YOU PUT AFTERMARKET PARTS ON IT, JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE AFTERMARKET PARTS, IT DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY. IF THE DEALERSHIP REALIZES THE ISSUE, AND JUST VERBALLY SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT DUE TO THE PARTS, WITHOUT EVEN LIFTING THE CAR UP, THAT IS ILLEGAL. THEY HAVE TO FIND THE ISSUE, AND SAY WHY THE AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE AFFECTING THE CLUTCH. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP OWNERS SON, HE SAID EMAIL ME THE ISSUES, AND THE VIN. I DID, HE FORWARDED IT TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER. WHEN HE RECEIVED THE EMAIL, THERE WAS A CORPORATE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE THERE. HE READ MY EMAIL, AND SAID THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT IT. THE MANAGER CALLED ME, SAID HE RECEIVED THE EMAIL THAT I SENT THE OWNER, HE SAID THEY HAVE TO RE-MAKE THE SOUND AGAIN, EVEN THO THEY HEARD IT, AND PUT ME THREW THE RINGER AGAIN. THERE ARE ALSO ALOT OF PARTS INSIDE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT NEXT TUESDAY, HOPEFULLY FOR THEM TO SEE THE ISSUES. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON FORUMS FOR THE 12 SI, 9TH GEN, THAT ARE COMPLAINING ALSO. THE HONDA REP SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL IN MANY CLUTCHES TO HEAR A HIGH PITCHED NOISE? *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS MAKING A TURN FROM COMING OFF A STOP LIGHT AND THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME WERE STOPPED TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND MY FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES NEVER KICKED IN. I SWERVED TO TRY AND MISS THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO MISS THE SUV AND REAR ENDED HIM. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY ICE OR ANY FLUID ON THE ROAD THAT WOULD CAUSE ME TO LOOSE TRACTION. I HIT MOSTLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH SAVED THE AIR BAGS FROM GOING OFF, HAD I HIT FRONT ON I AM POSITIVE THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE GONE OFF AS UPON IMPACT THE SCREENS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR TURNED RED AND READ "CHECK AIRBAGS" AND THEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND HAZARD LIGHTS TURNED ON. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED 2/1 AND AM WAITING TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS TO THE TOTAL DAMAGE AMOUNT IF MY CAR WILL BE TOTALED OUT OR NOT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON A VERY COLD MORNING, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, NO ONE WAS EVEN AROUND ME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOAD POP, I LOOKED OVER & MY PASSENGERS SIDE, 'VENT WINDOW' HAD SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES. IT DID STAY IN TACT BUT HONDA DEALER SAYS SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT IT. I PERSONALLY THINK THE VENT BLOWING THE WARM AIR ON THE COLD WINDOW EFFECTED IT. THIS MAY BE A LITTLE WINDOW BUT IT'S NOT CHEAP TO FIX. I AM WONDERING IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS... *TR

I'VE HAD MY 2012 CIVIC FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING ISSUE RIGHT AWAY: WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED AT 1500 RPMS, THEY SUDDENLY JUMP TO 2500 RPMS, PAUSE AT THE HIGHER RPM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK DOWN. I CANNOT RECREATE IT AT WILL, IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT AND STRAIGHT ROADS (AS THIS IS MY USUAL DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME), APPLYING THE BREAK DOES NOT BRING THE RPMS BACK DOWN EITHER. I HAVE DRIVEN A DECENT AMOUNT OF CARS IN MY LIFETIME INCLUDING A 2003 CIVIC IN THE SAME TRIM AS MY CURRENT CIVIC AND NONE HAVE ACTED THIS WAY. I REALIZE A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT '03 CIVIC MODEL, BUT NO CAR SHOULD ACT LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS AND LEAVES ME WITH A VERY UNSETTLING FEELING WHILE DRIVING IT. *TR

I HAVE A LITTLE INJURED IN MY HAND BUT NOTHING I THINK SERIOUS. *TR

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY AND DANGEROUS INTERSECTION I LOST POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I MANAGED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER UNTIL THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN. I HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS INCIDENT AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS I TRADED THE CAR IN WITH MILEAGE AT LESS 2000. *TR
