FOUND A PLUG SITTING ON TOP OF MY TRANSMISSION WHILE CHECKING MY ENGINE OIL, WIPER FLUID, ETC. THE HOLE IT CAME OUT OF IS SURROUNDED IN FLUID. I WAS PARKED IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN MIDDAY WHEN I FOUND IT. DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN OUT.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND PAINT HAS BEEN CHIPPING AND PEELING AFTER THE 3RD YEAR WE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND IT'S GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE ALSO TRIED HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE.

COMPLAINT TO NHTSA REF. 2015 HONDA CIVIC-EX (VIN: [XXX]) PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR REFERENCED VEHICLE CONTAINS A DESIGN FLAW AND PRODUCT DEFECT. THE CAR WAS NOT STARTING DUE TO A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIANS AT A HONDA CERTIFIED DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A PRODUCT DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR HANDLE TOUCH SENSOR. ACCORDING TO AN ADVISOR AT HONDA OF ESCONDIDO (CALIFORNIA), THE DOOR HANDLE SENSOR FAILURE CONSTITUTED BOTH A HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION. THE ADVISOR INDICATED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT HE HAS NOT SEEN THIS PHENOMENON OCCUR WITH RESPECT TO A HONDA CIVIC DURING HIS MANY YEARS AT HONDA OF ESCONDIDO. IT APPEARS THAT THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT (AMP) DRAW WAS THE MAIN CULPRIT IN DEPLETING THE BATTERY?S POWER CAPACITY AND DEGRADING IT TO A POINT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AS A RESULT OF THE PRODUCT DEFECT. IT ALSO CAUSED THE VSA (I.E., THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION AND BEHAVE ERRATICALLY AS WELL. IN OUR ASSESSMENT, THIS SITUATION CONSTITUTES A PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATION AS THE SAFETY, WELL-BEING AND WELFARE OF EVERY OWNER IS AT RISK WHEN DRIVING THE SAME 2015 HONDA CIVIC MODEL. IN OUR JUDGMENT, A RECALL IS REQUIRED TO PREVENT SEVERE ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING AND TO PRECLUDE THIS HIGHLY RISKY AND DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION FROM RECURRING. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE NECESSARY CORRECTION ACTION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NHTSA ODI 11382692

SINCE THE SUMMER OF 2020, MY AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT HAD BEEN SPORADICALLY COMING ON AS I WAS DRIVING. I ATTRIBUTED SIMPLY TO PUTTING A HEAVY ITEM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, I.E., A PURSE. THEN, WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEK, STARTING AROUND NOVEMBER, IT CAME ON MORE OFTEN, EVERYTIME I DROVE. G DEALER DIAGNOSED IT TODAY AS NEEDING AN AIRBAG ASSEMBLY KIT DUE TO CODE B0001 13. THE DEALER INDICATES IT WILL COST $1,433.86. PLUS, I WASCHARGES $120.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. AMERICAN HONDA CO. REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THE COST. I HAVE NO OTHER TRANSPORTATION AND AM A RETIRED SENIOR CITIZEN. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY AND HAD SLOWED DOWN WITH HAZARDS ON WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED MOVING ABOUT 7 MPH. I SUFFERED SEVERE INJURIES INCLUDING A GRAND MAL SEIZURE AND 2 BRAIN BLEEDS BECAUSE I BOUNCED MY HEAD OFF THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER HITTING HER HEAD ON THE DASH AND CAUSING HER TO BLACKOUT BECAUSE THE CAR AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF WHEN WE GOT HIT BY SOMEONE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE CAR HAD BEEN HIT SO HARD IT GOT HIT INTO A BUSH CAUSING FRONTAL DAMAGE TO AND SEVERE REAR DRIVER DAMAGE.

RE. 2015 HONDA CIVIC-EX (VIN #: [XXX]) DEAR SIR, OUR REFERENCED CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS DEFECTS AND DEFICIENCIES AND IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. WHILE WE'VE HAD TO REPAIR THE CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WHAT HAS OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF A NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE; STARTING IN FEBRUARY AND CONTINUING TO THE PRESENT DAY. THERE IS SOMETHING STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH THE HONDA CIVIC AS THERE APPEARS TO BE OEM SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS RELATED DEFECTS AND MALFUNCTIONS THAT ARE UNUSUAL, ANOMALOUS AND TOTALLY ABNORMAL. IN ONE INSTANCE, THE CAR BECAME VERY ERRATIC AND WAS SHAKING AND AERODYNAMICALLY UNSTABLE AND IT ALMOST LOST CONTROL, AS THE STEERING COLUMN BECAME VERY RIGID/STIFF AND WAS NOT ABLE TO INITIALLY ROTATE/TORQUE THE STEERING WHEEL TO NEGOTIATE CERTAIN CORNER TURNS. NUMEROUS DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED SIMULTANEOUSLY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CHECK ENGINE SIGN, VSA, TPMS, HSAS, POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION, EXCLAMATION SIGN, ETC. WE'VE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR II) REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES; AND III) CONDUCTED THE REQUISITE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENTS AND TIRE PRESSURE AND ROTATION APPLICATIONS AND OTHER RELATED REPAIRS, ETC. NONE OF THE ABOVE REPAIRS FIXED THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM. WE'RE NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOORS AT THE PRESENT TIME AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN AN OPERATIONAL MODE. THIS CAR IS POTENTIALLY A "LEMON" AND FRANKLY WHATEVER TURNS-OUT TO BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM(S), THIS MODEL VEHICLE SHOULD BE A CANDIDATE FOR A RECALL. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND TAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO HAVE HONDA SATISFACTORILY RESOLVE THIS MATTER ASAP AND WE REQUEST NHTSA TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT SO THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANOTHER DRIVER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT AND PROFESSIONAL COOPERATION. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, THE ENGINE RPM RAPIDLY INCREASED WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CROSS 4 LANES AND GET TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON TO INCLUDE: CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, HILL START, AND TPMS. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS OTHER THAN PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WOULD RESPOND NORMALLY WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED BUT WAS NOT ENGAGED BY THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER THAT FOUND THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE PULLEY HAD BROKEN REQUIRING A TOTALLY NEW TRANSMISSION. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 15V574000 WAS REFERENCED BUT HONDA WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT FOR COVERAGE OR AS A CAUSAL ISSUE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS AT THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THAT RECALLED ISSUE WAS AT FAULT FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE. HONDA RECALL STILL REFUSED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE ISSUE LISTED IN 15V574000 AS IT WAS NOT TIED TO THE VIN IN THE HONDA DATABASE. CAR INDICATIONS AND MAINTENANCE REPORTS LIST THE SAME INDICATIONS AND PROBLEMS LISTED IN THE RECALL.

FULL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST TRACTION AND THE ENGINE REVVED TO THE REDLINE. NEARLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. DRIVER MADE HIS WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION REFUSED TO TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. $3500. VEHICLE HAS 75,000 MILES AND IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

CAR STOPPED PROPELLING FORWARD AS IF TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 29 JUST BEFORE THE ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE 80 AT STEADY SPEED (NOT SPEEDING, NOT ACCELERATING...JUST WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING). NO CLUNKS, JOLTS, LOUD NOISES...THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS JUST GONE. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO GEARS WOULD ENGAGE WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN GEAR. THE HANDLE MOVED, BUT ENGAGED WITH NOTHING. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED IN JUNE 2020. THIS HAPPENED ON SEPT 28, 2020. LIGHT NOISE AT PARKING LOT BEFORE THAT ON ACCELERATION. I STOPPED AND LOOKED AT IT, BUT NOTHING OBVIOUS. IT WAS DANGEROUS IN THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO EXCEPT COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION THERE, BUT FORTUNATELY I COULD PULL OVER BEFORE THE ACTUAL ON RAMP, BUT THAT PARTICULAR CURVE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT'S VERY BUSY WHERE TWO INTERSTATES CROSS SO I WAS STALLED IN A BAD PLACE. DON'T KNOW THE PARTS OR INVOICES YET. (THIS BOX IS SO SMALL I CAN'T SEE THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH. I CAN ONLY SEE TWO LINES AT A TIME.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STOPPING AND ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OFF, THE VEHICLE HESITATED UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SERRA HONDA O'FALLON (1268 CENTRAL PARK DR, O'FALLON, IL 62269) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND THE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT EACH TIME. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER :15V574000 (POWER TRAIN) WAS LINKED TO HER FAILURE. THE MECHANIC THEN REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC IS DEFECTIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS DISINTEGRATING MAKING THE HAND GRIP ON THE WHEEL UNSAFE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN BY HONDA CORP FOR YEARS AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THIS UNSAFE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO VEHICLE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT STATE THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS OPERATION IS SAFE. HONDA STATED THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE IF THE NHTSA DIRECTED A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. MY GRANDSON'S CAR IS A 2013 CIVIC WITH THE SAME ISSUE DISINTEGRATION AND GUMMY STICKY STEERING WHEEL. WHY WOULD THIS BE CONSIDERED A SAFE OPERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE? A SEARCH ONLINE WILL SHOW A NUMBER OF CIVIC OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THIS MODEL STEERING WHEEL AT THEIR OWN COST. I HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF HONDA'S TO INCLUDE CIVIC, PILOT, ACURA TL, ACCORDS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR ALL 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVIC'S, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE PURCHASING THIS AFFORDABLE CAR.

I HAVE 89000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS MY JUNE CONSUMPTION HAS DECREASED 12-25 MILES PER GALLON. UNDER SIMILAR DRIVING CONDITIONS MY MILEAGE DROPPED FROM AVG OF 50MPG TO 42 MPG.

II HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. TO ALLOW AN ONCOMING CAR TO PASS, I STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY, AND HIT MY REAR BUMPER. UPON IMPACT, MY CAR SUDDENLY REVVED AND ACCELERATED TO PERHAPS 20-30 MPH. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE, AND MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE DRIVEWAY OF A FACING BUSINESS. FORTUNATELY, NO HUMAN OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER, WHO THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE APPLICABLE COMPONENTS; THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS, SO THEY CONTACTED HONDA, WHO SUBSEQUENTLY CAME OUT BUT AGAIN COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT I MIGHT HAVE ERRONEOUSLY APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE MANY YEARS OF EXCELLENT DRIVING EXPERIENCE, AND QUICK REACTION TIME. I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, AND THAT MY CAR EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WITH A SUPPOSED CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, THIS CAR CONTINUES TO BE MY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. HOWEVER, I ALWAYS HAVE AN UNDERLYING FEAR THAT THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MIGHT OCCUR AGAIN.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW ON 06/01/2015 FROM HONDA. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT IN THAT TIME. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE PAINT IS LITERALLY PEALING OFF THE CAR AROUND THE REAR WINDSHIELD. I WENT TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MANY HONDA, TOYOTA, KIA PRODUCTS WERE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE PAINT ESPECIALLY IN WHITE.I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND APPARENTLY THE RECALL FOR THE PAINT ISSUE DOESN'T COVE MY PARTICULAR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. SO NOW AM LEFT WITH AN ONLY 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH PEALING PAINT. SO I HAVE TO INCUR THE REPAIR COSTS AND HOPE THAT MORE OF THE PAINT DOESN'T END UP COMING OFF. *TR

ON 5/14/2020 IN THE AFTERNOON, I PARKED MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC EX L IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TOOK GROCERIES IN THE HOUSE. I CAME BACK OUT WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND THERE WAS A FIRE STARTING IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE (BATTERY AREA). THE BATTERY WAS INSTALLED LESS THAN 9 MONTHS AGO AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. I NOW FIND OUT ACCORDS WERE RECALLED FOR BATTERY FIRES, WHY NOT CIVICS ? *TR

WHILE DRIVING THIS CIVIC AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, IT SUDDENLY STARTED SURGING AND DECELERATING. ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. HAD TO CUT OFF TRAFFIC TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY CALLED A DAY LATER AND SAID: "THE DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT NO GOOD. NEED NEW TRANSMISSION, WANT TO REPLACE?" I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE RECALL FOR MANY HONDAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST SINCE ITS NOT A RECALL CAR. I GET IT BUT: ITS THE SAME PART! FURTHER, THE CAR IS MANAGED BY A 'MAINTENANCE REMINDER'. IT TELLS YOU WHEN TO CHANGE FLUIDS/PERFORM MAINTENANCE BASED ON DRIVING HABITS. NOT ONCE DID THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT LIGHT UP. THE DEALER SAID ITS OUR FAULT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T COMPLETE A SERVICE AT 30K INTERVALS. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. WHO HAS 7K FOR A TRANSMISSION ON A 15K CAR??? *TR
