THE TPMS HAS CAME ON WARNING OF A LOW TIRE. THE TIRES WERE CHECKED AND NONE WERE LOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. TODAY WHILE DRIVING SOMETHING PUNCTURED THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE AND IT WENT FLAT THE TPMS DID NOT INDICATE A LOW TIRE. I PULLED TO A SAFE PLACE AND CHANGED THE FLAT TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING AND THE TPMS FINALLY CAME ON WHEN I DROPPED THE FLAT TIRE INTO THE TRUNK. THE TMPS ON MY SONS 2019 CIVIC HAS INDICATED A LOW TIRE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE TIRES ARE AT CORRECT PSI.

TODAY, I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC SPORT TO PERFORMANCE HONDA IN FAIRFIELD, OH FOR A WARRANTY-RELATED PROBLEM REGARDING TPMS AND A FAULTY TIRE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE DID NOT HOLD AIR. EVERY FEW DAYS, I HAD TO ADD AIR TO MY TIRES/RESET THE TPMS SYSTEM, AS DESCRIBED BY OWNERS.HONDA.COM. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, MY FRONT, LEFT, TIRE LOST AIR SO QUICKLY THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE HAS 4,000.00 MILES (EXACT). DURING THE TRIP THERE, THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE BLEW OUT AND JERKED ME TO THE LEFT (60 MPH). WHILE EASING INTO THE BRAKE (NOT PUMPING), I STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER LANE. UPON STOPPING, I SHIFTED INTO, "P," AND THEN ACTIVATED THE PARKING BRAKE. THEN, I TOOK MY MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. I CALLED AAA AND GOT TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY THERE. TPMS NEEDS TO TELL THE DRIVER WHAT THE PRESSURE IS IN EACH TIRE; MY GRANDFATHER HAS A 2019 VEHICLE THAT DOES. AT LEAST I WAS NOT INJURED TODAY!

THE STEERING WHEEL REEL ASSEMBLY MAKES A CLICK SOUND WHICH IS AN IN DICTATION OF INADEQUATE LUBRICATION. THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF CAN NOT BE RELUBRICATED AS THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS SEALED. HONDA WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASTY THE INCORPORATES THE ASSEMBLY. HOWEVER, TECHNICIANS ARE STATING THAT THIS IS UNNEEDED AND NORMAL PART OF THE CAR. THIS IS IN ACTUALITY, UNTRUE AND CAN BE ULTIMATELY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER.

BRAND NEW 2019 CIVIC WITH A LEAKING CONDENSER. CAR HAS 4862MILES, WITH ALL THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. HONDA REFUSED COVERAGE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT DONE ALL THEY CAN TO PROTECT SUCH A FRAGILE COMPONENT. WAS TOLD A "SMALL PEBBLE" HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. IN 2012 HONDA SETTLED A 40MILLION DOLLAR CLASS ACTION FOR THIS VERY SAME THING ON THE CRV AND OTHER MODELS. ON THIS CLASS ACTION THEY AGREED TO HAVE DEALERSHIPS PUT A METAL SCREEN TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER. WHY AREN'T THEY DOING THIS WITH ALL VEHICLES!?!?! HONDA IS STRAIGHT UP RUNNING A SCAM ON IT'S CUSTOMERS. AT $1,000.00 A POP PER REPAIR, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO SEEING AT LEAST 5 OF THIS TYPE OR REPAIR COMING THROUGH EVERY WEEK!! IMAGINE HOW MUCH REFRIGERANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE!? 5 A WEEK AT ONE DEALERSHIP....WOW.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHEN NOTHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MERGING FROM AN ON RAMP.

WHILE DRIVING (50+/- MPH) ON A TWO LANE STATE ROAD, MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED, BRINGING MY VEHICLE VERY CLOSE TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO REASON I COULD SEE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME IN EITHER DIRECTION AND FORTUNATELY NO VEHICLE FOLLOWING OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. CLEAR MORNING, NOTHING ON THE ROADWAY, NO WILDLIFE I SAW. DRY AND SUNNY, NO LEAVES, NO BREEZE, BARE PAVEMENT. A SWEET JUNE MORNING IN DUTCHESS COUNTY, NY. OUT OF THE BLUE THE CMBS ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES SO HARD I COULD FEEL THE ABS KICKING ON AND IN MOMENTS I WAS AT A CRAWL, THEN THE CAR SIMPLY BEHAVED NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN A WEEK. THERE IS NO MEANS PROVIDED TO SHUT THIS FEATURE OFF PERMANENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE CMBS IS TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF EVERY TIME I RESTART THE CAR. IT RESETS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS FEATURE MAY WIND UP CAUSING MORE REAR END COLLISIONS AS IT AVOIDS FRONT END COLLISIONS. WHAT WOULD THE CONSEQUENCES BE IF THAT SCENARIO HAPPENED WHILE ON A CURVE, DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE RAIN? OR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH (OR FASTER) WHERE COMMUTERS TYPICALLY TAILGATE ACROSS THREE OR FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC? THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH CMBS IN ANY VEHICLE AND I CONSIDER IT A TOTAL FAILURE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT CAN ENGAGE WITH SUCH FORCE WHILE IT'S A FALSE ALARM.

I WAS ON A STATE ROAD EXITING ON A RAMP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING 40 MILES PER HOUR APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS AGO. THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION AND ACCELERATING STOPPED. THE CAR THREW ME BACK AND FORTH CAUSING ME TO GO THE ER THE FOLLOWING DAY. RESTON HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA. I TOOK THE CAR RIGHT AFTER AND DROPPED OFF AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP IS NOT GIVING ME ANY CONCRETE ANSWERS IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I READ ONLINE A OWNER OF A HONDA 2019 CIVIC SAME AS MINE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF STOPPING WHILE IN MOTION WHILE ON A HIGHWAY SUDDENLY. I DO HAVE PRODUCT UPDATE: FUEL LEVEL SENSOR DTC SPACE P0461 SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTICE FROM HONDA I JUST RECEIVED. DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS INVOLVED WITH MY CURRENT INCIDENT? I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR AND NOW IN PAIN MEDICINE , MUSCLE RELAXER MEDICINE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED A PLAN TO GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FROM THE DOCTOR ON CALL AT THE ER.

I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY HONDA CIVIC 2019 ON WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2019 IN THE EVENING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MESSAGE SAID "EMISSIONS SYSTEM PROBLEM". WHEN I GOT TO MY HOME, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESEARCHED WHAT THE ERROR MESSAGE MIGHT MEAN. I CALLED HONDA THE NEXT DAY AND THEY INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL OCCURRING WITH HONDA CIVICS AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE. I HAD AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE IN REGARD TO A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO SEARCH MY VIN AND THERE WAS NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
