FROM PURCHASE DATE 10-24-14 THRU TODAY, WHEN VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER FOR @ 1.5 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATION RESUMES. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, NEVER STRAIGHT FORWARD. THESE EPISODES HAPPEN 3-5 TIMES PER WEEK. THE HONDA TRANSMISSION IS THE "CVT/ DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM". I DRIVE @ 20 MILES PER DAY. IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED 3 TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN LONGMONT, COLORADO AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A PROBLEM SAYING EVERYTHING IS OK. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT OK FOR A NEW CAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE CURRENTLY LODGED MORE THAN SIX COMPLAINTS WITH THIS AGENCY IN REGARD TO A 2014 HONDA CIVIC I PURCHASED NEW FROM FRANK FLETCHER HONDA IN BENTONVILLE, AR. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUES ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS INCLUDES STALLING, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, JERKING AND AN OVERALL ROUGH RIDE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS SERVED ON FEBRUARY 3, 2015 WITH A CERTIFIED LETTER MAKING A WRITTEN DEMAND UNDER THE ARKANSAS NEW MOTOR VEHICLE QUALITY ASSURANCE ACT (ACT 297 OF 1993) TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION UNDER SAID LAW. HONDA AMERICA WAS ALSO SERVED WITH THE SAME LETTER. THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA AMERICA HAVE HAD AMPLE TIME TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DATE. BOTH ENTITIES HAVE PLACED ME AND MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY BY CHOOSING TO ANSWER MY REQUEST FOR A SAFE VEHICLE. MY ATTORNEY, WHO DREW UP THE LETTER, STATED THE CAR FALLS UNDER THE "LEMON LAW" AND I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING "HALF A VEHICLE." *TR

AS MY HUSBAND WAS TURNING A CORNER, THE CLUTCH DROPPED, AND THE SERVICE CENTER REPORTED THAT THE CLUTCH FIBERS ARE TORN UP. COST OF REPAIR = $1700. WE HAVE BEEN LIFELONG MANUAL TRANSMISSION DRIVERS. WE DO NOT MISUSE VEHICLES, AND THE CLUTCH GOING OUT SO SOON FOR US IN PARTICULAR IS INDICATIVE OF A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM RATHER THAN OPERATOR ERROR. *TR

AIR PRESSURE ON MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAS BEEN LOW SINCE A MONTH INTO THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR. THE ALERT ONLY WENT OFF ONCE, BUT WHEN I GOT THE TIRES REFILLED, THE TIRE STILL SEEMED FLAT. I JUST LET IT BE BECAUSE NO FURTHER ALERTS CAME ON. BUT I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND SLIPPED ON SNOW THE OTHER DAY AND HIT A CURB, WHICH DEPLOYED MY AIRBAGS. I DO NOT THINK THAT IF THIS TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO THIS ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING AROUND 10MPH, AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. *TR

I WAS PARKING MY CAR ON AN UPWARD INCLINE AND TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN I SUDDENLY HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND IT JUST KEPT LURCHING/MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR STOPPED ONLY BECAUSE THE FRONT WHEELS WENT UP AND OVER A CONCRETE CURB.,,,THERE WAS A LINK FENCE AND THEN A DEEP EMBANKMENT BEYOND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK UP OVER THE CURB TO PARK THE CAR I DO NOT FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS PRESENTLY AT A HONDA DEALER WHO SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING COMING ON AND WHEN CHECKED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE BUT THE WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. *TR

THIS IS THE SEVENTH (7) COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED IN REGARD TO A NEW HONDA CIVIC I PURCHASED FROM FRANK FLETCHER HONDA IN BENTONVILLE, AR. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVEN TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM STILL BEING FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHICH IS NOT SAFE. AT APPROXIMATELY 1:45 P.M. MY HUSBAND PICKED ME UP FROM WORK FOR LUNCH. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE RODE, WE FELT A "SLIPPING" MOVEMENT AND THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL OUT. FOLLOWING THIS WAS A SERIES OF SMALL JERKING MOVEMENTS AS WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE. A WEEK AGO MY ATTORNEY FILED LEGAL DOCUMENTS UNDER THE ARKANSAS AUTO LEMON LAW AGAINST HONDA AMERICA. THE VEHICLE HAS MET ALL REQUIREMENTS UNDER THIS LAW. I AM HOPING NHTSA WILL TAKE MY COMPLAINTS SERIOUSLY AND MONITOR HONDA AMERICA'S ACTIONS TOWARDS CONSUMERS AND THE VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING SOLD WHICH HAVE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

MY CAR IS 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX-L NAVI WITH PUSHBUTTON ENGINE START/STOP. I WAS APPROACHING AN INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ACTIVATE THE 4-WAY FLASHERS AS A WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON, I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON BY MISTAKE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS JUST BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE FLASHER BUTTON IS ABOUT SIX INCHES TO THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE START/STOP BUTTON. OF COURSE WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THANKFULLY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND I CONTINUED TO COAST SLIGHTLY LEFT. I ORDER TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS A DIFFICULT SEQUENCE TO PERFORM WHEN ONE'S VEHICLE IS DEAD AND COASTING WITH MINIMAL CONTROL. BY THE TIME I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND REGAINED CONTROL I WAS APPROACHING THE JERSEY BARRIERS IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BEING PASSED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS REAL EASY TO OPERATE. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FULLY DEPRESSED, JUST A SLIGHT TOUCH WILL ACTIVATE IT. MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE FLASHER BUTTON THAN THE START/STOP BUTTON. PLUS, THE START/STOP BUTTON PROTRUDES FROM THE SURFACE OF THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY PRESSED BY ACCIDENT. THE START/STOP SHOULD BE RECESSED INSIDE A SHROUD AND ACTIVATION SHOULD REQUIRE A FULL DEPRESSION AND BE HELD FOR AT LEAST TWO SECONDS. AND IDEALLY THE FLASHER BUTTON SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO THE TOP CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD. THE EVENT DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA CIVIC 2014 ON 6/27/2014. ONE MONTH AND A HALF LATER DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE, EACH TIME I TRIED TO SPEED UP TO 50 MILES/HOUR, I STARTED FEELING SOME JERKINESS. SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR, I WAS NOT SURE THAT IT WAS NORMAL OR NOT. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS VERY SLOWLY PULLING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE CAR STOPPED AND THE ENGINE DIED. I TURNED ON THE ENGINE AND TRIED TO MOVE THE CAR AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON THE SAME DAY. NEXT DAY I CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND TOOK MY CAR FOR THE INSPECTION. THEY FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD A DEFECT AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEN ON 10/19/2014, WHEN I WAS DRIVING A STREET, I GOT A TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. MY HUSBAND HELPED TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRES, BUT THE WARNING SIGN DID NOT DISAPPEAR. ON 10/27/2014, WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE AFTERNOON, A SERIES OF WARNINGS APPEARED (VSA, TPMS, EPS, ABS). AFTER HE GOT HOME, HE CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK FOR TOWING SERVICE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AS HE DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER NEXT MORNING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR AND PERFORMED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE VSA SYSTEM. HOWEVER THE DEALER STATED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
