MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THEY RAN TESTS ON IT AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WAS HAPPENING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY AIRBAG IS WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE AVOIDED HAVING PASSENGERS IN MY CAR WITH ME BECAUSE OF THIS, BUT CAN NOT COME TO A CONCLUSION WITH THE HELP OF HONDA ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS.

THE TPMS KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE ASKED HONDA SINCE 2015 WHEN I PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW CAR TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ASKED 5 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THE SENSOR KEEPS COMING BACK EVERY COUPLE OF MILES. ALL HONDA DOES IS RESET IT AND THAT'S IT. THEY TELL ME ALL I HAVE TO DO IS RESET IT. WHAT IF SOMETHING REALLY IS WRONG WHEN I'M DRIVING? SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN BUT HONDA SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I DON'T THINK THAT IS TRUE. I CAN'T EVEN TRAVEL OR TAKE MY CAR ANY WHERE IN THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS BECAUSE THE SENSOR ALWAYS COMES ON. I HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I DO NOT EVEN TRUST HONDA AND IT'S CARS ANY MORE. WASTE OF MONEY AND DISAPPOINTED FOR MY FIRST CAR. HONDA LIES AND DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

PUT THE GEAR IN PARK. LEFT CAR RUNNING, WHILE I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE GARAGE DOOR. CAR STARTED MOVING AND DAMAGED THE WOODEN BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. MY LANDLORD OWNS THE GARAGE AND THIS INCIDENT CAUSED $ 500 IN DAMAGES. THIS ISSUE COULD EASILY KILL A PERSON. WHY DOES HONDA NOT REPORT A SERIOUS ISSUE LIKE THAT. THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAVE HAD MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC COUPE SINCE OCTOBER OF 2015. FIRST ISSUE, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS ONCE WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, I WILL PUT OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY IN REVERSE, GO A COUPLE YARDS IN REVERSE, THEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SWITCH IT TO DRIVE. AFTER I SWITCH IT TO DRIVE AND THEN DRIVE A COUPLE YARDS FORWARD, A WEIRD CLICKING SOUND COMES UP, IT IS TOWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS AN AXLE OR HUB, OR KNUCKLE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS, MY IGNITION SWITCH. IT TENDS TO HEAT UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE REASON I SAY A FEW MINUTES IS BECAUSE, ILL PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THEN TURN IT AND DRIVE OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AROUND THE BLOCK. THEN ILL COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, AND THE KEY WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I PUT MY KEYS IN MY JEAN POCKET AND IT BURNT ME. IT WASNT A BAD BURN TO WHERE IT LEFT ME A SCAR OR ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS STILL A BURN THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

REAR VIEW CAMERA HAS VERY POOR IMAGE. IT IS TOO DARK TO BE RELIABLE AS A SAFETY FEATURE. CAMERA IS SO BAD IT COULD ACTUALLY PRESENT A HAZARD IF YOU RELY ON IT. ONLINE FORUMS CONFIRM THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 0 MILES HONDA CIVIC 2015 ON MAY 2015 IVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY SUSPENSION MOTOR MOUNTING HAD BEEN REPLACES AS WELL AS AXELS... I'M CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY I'M SCARED OF AN ACCIDENT FOR A SUSPENSION PROBLEM SINCE ITS FRONT SUSPENSION... ON THE DEALER THEY ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID ON TELLING ME THE CAUSE OF THIS MATTER... I WOULD LIKE THIS SUSPENSION PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATE... THE TRANSMISSION IS ANOTHER PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME YOU ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DOENST GO FAST AND FEELS LIKE SLIPS ON KICKS OUT... I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT LIKE ALWAYS THEY SAID THEY DON'T FIND THE PROBLEM... THE WORST THAT THE DEALER ALWAYS REQUEST ME TO GO ON A DRIVE TEST WITH THE MECHANIC THAT'S NOT PART OF MY JOB THEY SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED WORKERS
