What 360 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Honda Civic Cng

MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC HAS PAINT PEELING OFF IN SHEETS. THE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE ISN'T MY CAR BUT OTHER CARS AROUND ME WHEN DRIVING. IF A SHEET OF PAINT PEELS OFF AND LANDS ON A DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD CAUSING THEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THE PAINT DEFECT AND ISN'T WILLING TO THOROUGHLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2015 WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DOVER HONDA (NH) AROUND APRIL 2016 AND HAD ~83,400 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED (JAN 2019). BEFORE THAT TIME IT WORKED PERFECTLY WELL. NO ONE HAD DONE ANY WORK ON THE CAR TO THAT POINT ASIDE FROM TIRE REPLACEMENT AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE, BUT NOTHING RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING AN EXIT RAMP OFF OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (~40 MPH GRADUAL TURNING), THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, SO SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. A VARIETY OF WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DOVER HONDA (NH). THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION FILL CAP WAS NOT ATTACHED (BUT FOUND ON THE FRAME OF THE CAR) AND A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $400. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AFTERWARDS. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO DOVER HONDA. THEY SAID THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS DAMAGED AGAIN, THEY SURMISED THAT A NEARBY SHAFT WAS HITTING IT OCCASIONALLY CAUSING THE DAMAGE. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE OPTION OF NEW OR USED REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME ANOTHER ~$100 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW A TRANSMISSION FILL CAP BEING MISSING (ASSUMING THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS MISSING) COULD ALLOW THAT MUCH CONTAMINATION INTO A TRANSMISSION TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON ONLY PAVED ROADS IN A LOW DUST ENVIRONMENT LIKE NEW ENGLAND. WHEN OPENING THE TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO COMMENT BY THE DEALER ON THE FLUID BEING TERRIBLY DIRTY. THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE THAT APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, BUT THE FAILURE MODE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO NOTICE # 15V574000. AT THIS POINT I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AFEW DAYS AGO AND I'M ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE HOLDING.THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW ISSUED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT TODAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND TO EXPECT IT. THAT IS UNEXCEPTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I'M WAS READING THE 2014 HONDA CIVIC HAS A RECAP FOR THIS PROBLEM.. WHY HAS THE 2015 NOT BEEN RECALLED? IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE HONDA!!!

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG COME FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE MOONROOF HAD UNEXPECTEDLY SHATTERED. HEATER WAS ON, WEATHER WAS AROUND 60 FAHRENHEIT IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN THE MOONROOF SHATTERED, I WAS NO WHERE NEAR AN OVER PASS; I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE EXTERIOR CAUSED THE DAMAGE. GLASS SHATTERED OUTWARD, BUT BITS STILL FELL WITHIN THE VEHICLE. PHOTO CAN CORROBORATE OUTWARD TRAJECTORY.

WHILE DRIVING I FELT A VIBRATION. ABOUT 15 MILES LATER THE RPMS WERE HIGH AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR ROAD GOING UP HILL. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND KEEP INSISTING THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SWITCH, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BURNT AND THE CAR'S DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM STILL DOES NOT REGISTER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEIR ESTIMATE CLAIMS: "REPLACE TRANSMISSION (DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY, DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY)"

ABOUT 15 SECONDS ENTERING THE FREEWAY I DECIDED TO MERGE. AS I ACCELERATED I HEARD SOMETHING POP OR LIKE A CLUNK/THUMP SOUND, LIKE SOMETHING HAD SHIFTED, THEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS MY RPM WAS MOVING BUT MY CAUSE WAS NOT. GOOD THING I WAS STILL ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON. ENGINE WAS FINE, IT STARTED BUT I MY CAR WASN'T MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS ON DRIVE. I TRIED TO REVERSE MY CAR BUT IT MOVED VERY LITTLE AS WELL. SOUNDS LIKE MY PROBLEM REFLECTS THE RECALL ON 2014-2015 HONDA CIVIC CARS REGARDING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, ALTHOUGH A RECALL DOESN'T SHOW WHEN TYPING MY VIN.

THE CAR HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AS TOLD TO ME BY HONDA DEALER WITH THE PRESSAURE PLAYER SPRINGS FAILING CAUSING LOUD GRINDR NOISE. IT HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR ON THESE CARS. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVICS FORUMS LIST THE PROBLEM AS A PRESSURE PLATE. HONDA IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE 2800 TO FIX A PLROBLEM THEY KNOW IS WITH A FLAWED PART. WHEN SITTING IN FIRST GEAR AND YOU LET THE CLUTCH OUT THE CAR MEMAKES A GRINDR NOISE. ONE HONDA FORUM LIST OVER 52 PAGES OF PEOPLE ADDRESSING HAVING THIS ISSUE.

CAR WAS STATIONARY SITTING IN DRIVE-WAY. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD AS SOON AS CAR WAS TURNED ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT TWO ISSUES MIGHT BE THE CAUSE: FRONT RIGHT IMPACT SENSOR FAILURE ($300ISH TO REPLACE) OR SRS MOTHERBOARD FAILURE ($1400 TO REPLACE). HONDA IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR ANY SAFETY FAILURES ON THE CAR BECAUSE, "VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY". SO EVEN THOUGH THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY AT ANY MOMENT OR NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED (LIKE A CAR CRASH); IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE PAID FOR BY THE LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMER TO REPLACE. I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR SERVICED YET, MIGHT DECIDE TO GO WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN HONDA FOR SERVICING. SIDE NOTE: CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OF ANY NATURE AND HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE MILEAGE: 73,835 DESCRIPTION: OCTOBER 27TH, MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE EXPIRED AT 73,835 MILES. I WAS SITTING STILL IN THE TURN LANE OF A 4-LANE HIGHWAY WAITING TO TURN LEFT. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS I HEARD A THUMP. NOTHING LOUD OR SCARY, JUST A THUMP. NONE OF MY GEARS WOULD WORK BUT THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. SOME GOOD OLE BOYS PUSHED ME FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

LEAVING WORK THIS MORNING, I TURNED ON MY CAR AND ACTIVATED THE REAR DEFROSTER. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINTUES, MY REAR WINDOW LITERALLY EXPLODED SOUNDING LIKE A CANNON WENT OFF RIGHT BEHIND MY HEAD. I WAS DRIVING AT APROX. 15 MPH ON A EVEN ROAD SURFACE SO IVE RULED OUT VIBRATIONS AND ALSO IT WAS ABOUT 75 DEGREES F SO HEAT COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED IT FROM RAPID TEMP CHANGES. THE ONLY THING I HAVE LET TO WONDER IS IF IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER THAT CAUSED THE GLASS TO BECOME TOO HOT AND CAUSE THIS. MY DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN ANY MEASURES TO PULLING AMPS FROM THE DEFROSTER TO SEE IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER AND HAVE REFUSED TO SERVICE THIS UNDER A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IS THERE ANY RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDAS? IF SO, I MAY BE ABLE TO PROVE IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

A RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER 2015 FOR 2014 AND 2015 HONDA CIVICS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES. MY 2015 CIVIC WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND ON SEPT. 10, 2018 EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE SIMILAR TO CARS IN THE RECALL. I AM WRITING TO SEE IF THE RECALL IS BEING EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER CARS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. AMERICAN HONDA IS MAINTAINING NO RESPONSIBILITY AND REFERRED ME TO NHTSA, CLAIMING MY CAR WAS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. BUT THE TIME FRAME AND PROBLEM EXPERIENCED IS SUSPECT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, IT FELT LIKE I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN AND NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OUT THE TIRES AND THEY WERE OKAY. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR JUST JERKED WITH A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STRANDED WITH A DEAD CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL AND IT ONLY HAD 61,00 MILES ON IT!!
