I HAVE A LEASED 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX, MY LEASE BEGAN 11/2014. IN 9/2016 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ON A SIDE ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT 45MPH WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL, I COULD FLOOR IT WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, AND NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (POWER STEERING, VSA, HILL START ASSIST, TPMS, EMISSION, TRANSMISSION, ETC). I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY AND WAIT FOR A TOW. UPON ARRIVAL AT HONDA, THE CAR WAS 'BACK TO NORMAL' AND THE TECHS COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY CALLED IT A FLUKE AND RETURNED IT TO ME. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS JUST LEAVING MY HOUSE, ABOUT 5 MPH OUT OF MY SPOT AND UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SAME HONDA AND WAITED. I WAS TOLD A WEEK LATER THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO KEEP LOOKING. NOT HAPPENING AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY OPENED A CLAIM WITH HONDA. THEY LOOKED FOR A WEEK MORE WITH NO LUCK AND WERE ABOUT TO RETURN MY DANGEROUS AND UNDIAGNOSED CAR TO ME WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THEM; I AM UNAWARE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY KEPT IT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS WHEN THEY GUESSED IT WAS A FAULTY COMPUTER AND PUT A NEW ONE IN IT. FAST FORWARD TO 2/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED YET AGAIN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 7 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND ABOUT TO TURN ONTO A 50 MPH, 5 LANE ROAD WHERE I FOR SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURRED THERE. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO HONDA AND I HAVE ZERO INTENTIONS TO TAKE THIS DEATH TRAP BACK, AND I HAVE EVEN LESS FAITH THAT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND YET AGAIN. THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE LIGHTS ON THIS MOST RECENT TIME, TAKEN WHILE IN PARK. YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS ON, D LIT UP WHILE IN PARK, AND THE NEEDLE AT 1 EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MOVING.

BEGINNING THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE CHECK TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE EACH TIME TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, WHICH HAS 98% OF THE TIME BEEN FINE. THEY HAVE DONE 2 COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPGRADES, THE FIRST OF WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON; THE 2ND TIME IT WAS UPGRADED, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. I RECENTLY LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 8 HOURS AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT SAID IT WAS A SMALL DISCREPANCY IN THE TREAD OF THE TIRES - ONE TIRE HAD 4/32 OF A TREAD AND THE OTHERS HAD 5/32. HOWEVER, SINCE THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE TIRES WERE THEN NEW, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAVE NO EXPLANATION AND NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

THE FRONT DOOR WAS OBVIOUSLY OPEN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN REVERSING! THE FRONT DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN SINCE I WAS SO STARTLED NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME LIKE THAT BEFORE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS. FORTUNATELY, I AM LIMBER SO IMMEDIATELY GOT UP, JUMPED BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER SO TURNED THE CAR INTO THE CLOSEST ROCKERY TO STOP IT BEFORE IT HIT ANOTHER CAR OR A HOUSE FURTHER DOWN THE HILL. OBVIOUSLY, MY REAR AND FRONT FENDERS ARE ALL BADLY SCRAPED BY THE ROCKS CLEARLY VISIBLE IN THE PICTURES I TOOK. THE ROCKERY IS FENDER HIGH SO NO QUESTION. NO OTHER SCRATCHES COULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

CLUTCH DISINTEGRATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CLUTCH FRICTION MATERIAL DISLODGED, TORE INTO LARGE CHUNKS, AND JAMMED BETWEEN THE PRESSURE PLATE AND FLYWHEEL. THIS CAUSED THE CLUTCH PETAL TO DROP TO THE FLOOR AND KEPT THE CLUTCH ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I HAD ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND SHIFTED INTO 6TH GEAR ABOUT 10 MILES BEFORE I NOTICED A PROBLEM. WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED IN FRONT OF ME, I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR, BUT COULDN'T FIND THE CLUTCH PETAL -- I FINALLY FOUND THE PETAL WAS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, AND COULDN'T GET IT OFF THE FLOOR. IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FIND THE PETAL, SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, AND STOP THE VEHICLE, I ALMOST RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. UP TO THIS TIME WHEN I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 5TH, EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE ACTING NORMALLY. CLUTCH HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED DURING ITS ENTIRE LIFE.

NHTSA ODI 10870074

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING COMES ON EVEN THROUGH THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT. WHEN ONE TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT, IT WAS TOTALLY SHREDDED, AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 1 MILE TO A SAFE LOCATION, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING DID NOT COME ON. BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCES TO DATE, THE LIGHT SEEMS TO COME ON AFTER ABOUT 50-100 MILES OF HIGHWAY SPEED DRIVING.
