TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE WERE NOT EMITTING ENOUGH LIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED WITH BRIGHTER BULBS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF MY HONDA CIVIC IS PEELING OFF. THIS FIRST HAPPENED FAIRLY EARLY ON AFTER I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT REGULAR OXIDATION, FROM HOW I SEE IT, AS I DO NOT TREAT MY CAR ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE, WHO ARE NOT EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THERE WAS A PAINT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR DARK BLUE 2003-2005 ODYSSEY'S BACK IN MAY OF 2008--THIS WARRANTY SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO HONDA CIVIC 2009 VEHICLES AS WELL. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO PULL INTO AN ISLE OF A PARKING LOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINDING A PARKING SPACE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND OUT OF CONTROL SPINNING AROUND, JUMPING A CURB AND CRASHING INTO A TREE, AND FOUR OTHER AUTOMOBILES PARKED ON THE PARKING LOT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE TO FIVE AUTOMOBILES INCLUDING MY AUTOMOBILE. *TR

STOPPED AT AN STOP LIGHT IN TOWN WHEN VEHICLE RPM SUDDENLY WENT TO 5900 RPM AND VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. HAD FOOT ON BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK BUT RPM STAYED AROUND 5900-6000. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTED. VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THERE ARE OVER 50 CASES OF THIS SAME BEHAVIOR REPORTED ONLINE, IN ALL CASES THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY AT ABUT 65 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ,I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO REDUCE SPEED TO EXIT, BUT THE BRAKE DIDN'T WORK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T DISENGAGE, COULDN'T EXIT AND KEPT ON GOING AND KEPT ON HITTING ON THE CRUISE BUTTON TILL IT FINALLY DISENGAGE AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT. THE CRUISE BUTTON STOPPED WORKING SINCE THEN. *TR

I WAS ACCELERATING TO THE POSTED SPEED OF 55 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE SUDDENLY CHANGED LANE AND PULLED IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES COULD NOT BE APPLIED. I HAD TO PUMP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND TRIED DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF FORCE. I BARELY ESCAPED ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM BECOMES MUCH WORSE IN COLD WEATHER AND ON SNOW AND ICE. I ENCOUNTERED STIFF BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM AT LEAST 100 TIMES BETWEEN DECEMBER 2012 & MARCH 2013 ON RT 83 BETWEEN OAKBROOK AND WILLOWBROOK (SUBURBS OF CHICAGO, IL). THE TRAFFIC AT RUSH HOUR CAN BE STOP AND GO, AND BRAKES NEED TO BE APPLIED AT LEAST DOZENS OF TIME IN A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 7 MILES. I USED ALL OF MY SAFE DRIVING SKILLS, AND STARTED KEEPING MUCH GREATER DISTANCE FROM THE CARS AHEAD. IT WAS SCARY. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS & HAVE ROTORS MACHINED AT A HONDA DEALER. THE NEXT DAY, IN JULY 2014, ON A CLEAR DAY AND DRY ROAD SURFACE, WITH THE NORMAL BRAKING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP, BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING WINTER. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INFORMED BY HONDA TO BRING IN MY CAR FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT THIS CAR IN CALIFORNIA IN JUNE 2009 (I WAS A CO-BORROWER). SHE DROVE ABOUT 12000 MILES IN 3 YEARS. MY DAUGHTER ALSO HAD ENCOUNTERED THIS STIFF BRAKE PEDAL PROBLEM, RIGHT FROM DAY ONE. IN JUNE 2012, THE CAR WAS SHIPPED BY TRUCK TO MY PLACE, AND I BECAME THE OWNER/DRIVER OF THE CAR. *TR
