HI, AN EVENT HAPPENED WHERE THE CIVIC WAS NOT STARTED (KEYS WERE IN IGNITION BUT THE CAR WASN'T ACTUALLY STARTED UNBEKNOWNST TO THE DRIVER, AS IT WAS IN A LOUD ENVIRONMENT AND THE CAR IS QUIET WHEN IT IS RUNNING). IT WAS ON A VERY SLIGHT HILL. WHEN THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR REVERSED ALL THE WAY INTO THE STREET AND DIDN'T RESPOND TO BRAKING, NARROWLY MISSING A CAR THAT PASSED. ONCE IT WAS IN THE STREET; IT TOOK TRYING A FEW THINGS TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN OR RELEASE THE KEYS. SHOULDN'T THERE BE A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT WOULD PREVENT A CAR FROM REVERSING WHEN IT ISN'T ACTUALLY RUNNING? OR SOMETHING THAR WOULD ALLOW THE BRAKES TO STILL FUNCTION IN AN EVENT LIKE THAT? THANK YOU.

ONCE I TURN THE ENGINE ON I GET A CONTINUOUS NOTICE TO CHECK TIRE INFLATION; WHEN I CHECK IT THE REPAIRMAN FINDS NO TIRE PROBLEM.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT WITH 2013 HONDA CIVICS AND WHILE THERE IS NO RECALL YET, THERE SHOULD BE IN MY OPINION. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

MY ABS, VSA AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. HONDA DEALER TOLD ME IT COSTS $1,600 TO 'REPLACE' ABS CONTROL MODULE WHICH IS OBSCENE AS THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN MENTION A FIX FOR VSA OR POWER STEERING. I TESTED A HARD BRAKE AND ABS FAILED. WHAT IF MY POWER STEERING FAILS DURING A TURN AND I HIT SOMEONE? HONDA SERVICE TECH SAID SCANS COULD NOT INDICATE A FIX. GOOGLE / YOU TUBE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC AND ACORDS. A SIMPLE FUSE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE FUSE AND REPLACE THEM FOR VEHICLE OWNERS FREE OF CHARGE BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT.

I STARTED MY CAR AND NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN. WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING I STEPPED AROUND TO CHECK THE EXHAUST AND NOTICED LIQUID POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL. I REALIZED THIS WAS GASOLINE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE NEAR THE GAS TANK. IT ONLY POURED OUT WHEN IT THE CARS IGNITION WAS IN THE THE 2ND POSITION AND RUNNING - MEANING WHILE THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS UNDER PRESSURE. HAVING IT TOWED AT GREAT EXPENSE TO CARMAX. I COULD HAVE DIED HAD I NOT SEEN THIS HUGE LEAK!!!

"CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY FOR NO REASON.

NHTSA ODI 11173500

THE AIRBAG CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON PERIODICALLY I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A HONDA DEALER AND THREE WEEKS LATER IT CAME BACK ON BUT WENT AWAY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS OR RECALLS. BUT HONESTLY THIS HAS EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO DO WITH THE SRS SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE SOMETHING COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL POSSIBILITY? MY AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, YET I'VE READ TONS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IT SAYS "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW THERE'S NOT BEEN A RECALL YET WHEN THE AIRBAG THING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. PLEASE ADVISE.

ALSO WASN'T ABLE TO SELECT THE STEERING, THE SPEED CONTROL BRAKES AND THE WHEELS/TIRES. THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING GOING 60 ON THE HIGHWAY. SINCE I'VE GOT THIS CAR IT'S BEEN A HUGE PAIN AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NEARLY THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. I'M CURRENTLY MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON IT AND HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE 2017 AND HAVE PUT OVER $9,000 WORTH OF WORK INTO IT.. IT FINALLY HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTINUE TO DUMP MONEY INTO IT. THE ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE HAVE BEEN ON SINCE I'VE GOT IT AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON SINCE I'VE GOT IT THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY AND THE ELECTRICAL HAS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AS WELL ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY THIS HAPPENED THANK GOD BECAUSE HAD IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT I WOULDN'T OF BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED MANY TIMES AND THE TIRES CONSTANTLY LOOSE THREADING AND FEELS LIKE THE CAR STEERING IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. THE CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT LIGHTS BLINK AS WELL RANDOMLY AS WELL WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHTS. MY STERLING WHEEL HAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING UNABLE TO MOVE IT AT ALL. THIS CAR HAS COST ME LOADS OF MONEY AND PUT ME IN SUCH A BAD PLACE FINANCIALLY I WISH I NEVER GOT IT.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AFTER WARMING UP MY CAR I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGES: CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND CHECK VSA SYSTEM. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD SIMILAR ERROR MESSAGES. I DON'T THINK THIS RANDOM, A RECALL SHOULD HAPPEN TO FIND OUR THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. SEE ATTACHED TESTIMONIALS

WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE "CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM" ALERT WILL POP UP ON THE DISPLAY. IT WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY AND THEN TURNS BACK OFF. I HAVE HAD HONDA RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ALREADY AND NOTHING WAS FOUND, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR TWO YEARS

I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER USING MY VEHICLE'S HORN FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, WHILE IN MOTION, SINCE PURCHASING LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO, MY "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE DISPLAY MESSAGE. I PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. WARNING MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, THE LIGHT AND MESSAGE RETURNED. UNFORTUNATELY, I BOUGHT THE CAR AT A THIRD PARTY DEALER NOT HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR AT LEAST TRY TO HELP FIX MY ISSUE. THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH AUTOMOBILE.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY HONDA CIVIC SOMETIMES FEELS AS IF YOU WERE DRIVING STANDARD. YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDAL AND IT HESISTATES TO GO AND THEN GOES IMMEDIATELY WHICH MAKES IT FEEL AS IF YOU ARE SHIFTING GEARS. (USED TO DRIVE STANDARD). IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. I NOTICED THAT IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN WHEN THE ECON BUTTON IS ON AND LESS WHEN THE ECON BUTTON IS OFF BUT IT DOES DO IT ALL THE TIME. IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING ON REGULAR STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS. THE CAR SHAKES A LOT WHEN THE AC IS ON. YOU TURN THE AC OFF AND IT STOPS SHAKING. THE CARS ENGINE IS FULL OF RUST THANKS TO HONDA FOR USING CHEAP PARTS TO MAKE THIS CAR. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL HONDAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF SEVERAL ENGINE PARTS BEING RUSTED.

HONDA CIVIC 2013 WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION WHERE THE CAR WAS TOTALED. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. ACCIDENT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION. DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MILEAGE IS ESTIMATED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT LET ME USE THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY NOONE WAS NEXT TO ME SO I PUT HAZARAD LIGHT AND MANAGED TO PULL OVER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED FOR A COUPLE MINUTES ONLY TO TURN OFF AND NOT ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO WORK ANY LONGER.

THE HONDA HEAD RESTRAIN IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND CAUSING A DISC BULGE IN MY NECK AT C-5/C-6. BASICALLY, THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE HEAD FROM INJURY IN A READ-END COLLISION, HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN INJURED JUST BY SITTING IN THE SEAT. HONDA DOES NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT HEAD RESTRAIN OR ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE DRIVER THE OPTION TO HAVE A VERTICAL INSTEAD OF FORWARD TILTED HEAD RESTRAINT/HEAD REST.

PURCHASED HONDA CERTIFIED USED CIVIC IN 9/2016, CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT STARTED COMING ON RANDOMLY AROUND 2/2017 WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVING. LIGHT WOULD COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, OR SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS (INCLUDING THE ONE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM) MULTIPLE TIMES AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE ISSUE. CHARGING SYSTEM SENSOR AND CABLE REEL HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED, BUT LIGHT CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY COME ON. DEALER IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTINUES TO USE THEIR 'COMPUTER FLOW CHART' TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED!

NHTSA ODI 11115429

THE 'CHECK AIRBAG' LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I SEAT OR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE PAINT WAS BUBBLY AND HAD RUST SPOTS.

THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LED LIGHTS ON MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY ARE BLINDING, VERY DISTRACTING, AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, BUT IT HAPPENS REGULARLY - ALMOST DAILY.
