2017 Honda Civic

THIS IS A 5-DOOR HATCHBACK IN EX TRIM BOUGHT NEW 12/2016. WITHIN 2 WEEKS ELECTRICAL ISSUES STARTED, FROM XM TUNER GOING OUT TO MAIN HEADUNIT GOING OUT ON A INTERMITTANT BASIS. THIS DISABLES ALL AUDIO, BLUETOOTH, CLIMATE CONTROLS, BACK-UP CAMERA, & LANEWATCH. "CHECK TUNER" SHOWS BRIEFLY OFTEN. OCCURS EVEN WHEN DRIVING. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA REFUSES REPAIR. TPMS ALERT DISPLAYS FREQUENTLY, AFTER A TIRE EVEN A WHEEL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. PER DEALER & HONDA TECH ALL 4 SHOULD BE MATCHING SET @ TIME OF SERVICE, OR DEALER CAN ATTEMPT HARD RESET. SOFTWARE UPDATE RECENTLY DONE FOR THIS. TOLD TO BRING BACK TO DEALER IF/WHEN TPMS LIGHTS UP AGAIN. KNOWN POOR ANDROID AUTO PERFORMANCE & APPLE CARPLAY NON-FUNCTION, NO REPAIR AT THIS TIME (SOFTWARE ISSUES). "CHRISTMAS TREE" DISPLAY - NO ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRIC STEERING, AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, ETC ETC. NO LONG-TERM RESOLUTION, PER DEALER "SOFTWARE ISSUES". GROANING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEELS LEFT OR RIGHT FROM STOP, PER DEALER & HONDA TECH "NORMAL OPERATION". SUNROOF GLASS BREAKAGE IS AT OWNER EXPENSE, NOT A WARRANTY COVERAGE ITEM. ENGINE SHAKES/SHUDDERS ON START, AGAIN "NORMAL OPERATION" PER DEALER & HONDA TECH. POOR HORN PERFORMANCE, PER DEALER ONLY A SINGLE LOW NOTE HORN INSTALLED. NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD EASILY. OWNER EXPENSE TO UPGRADE TO BETTER (LOUDER) UNIT. ELECTRICAL GLITCHES STILL ONGOING ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW, VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES. THIS 10TH GEN CIVIC NOT RELIABLE & MAY PROVE A SAFETY CONCERN LONG-TERM. AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPLACING THIS VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN LARGELY INDIFFERENT TOWARDS THESE ISSUES, CITING "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" EVEN "SOFTWARE ISSUES".

ELECTRONIC BRAKING FAILURE AND MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRIC GLITCHES. AUTOMATIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED IN PARK. I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT ELECTRIC GLITCHES. FIRST LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY 2017 CIVIC TURN SIGNAL WAS STUCK ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. SECOND 1 MONTH AFTER DASH SCREEN WOULD NOT LOAD. IT WAS "BUFFERING / THINKING" TOOK IT TO AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE BUT FIXED WITH A HARD RESET AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND CHECKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND IT WAS CURRENT. THIRD PROBLEM A 2 WEEKS LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND GOT BRAKE FAILURE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE PARKING BRAKES LOCKED UP. TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE HOLD AND PARKING BRAKE TO MANUALLY DISENGAGE BUT WOULDN'T. HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A SECOND HARD RESET. I QUESTION IF MY CIVIC WAS PART OF THE 2016 / PARTIAL 2017 RECALL FOR ELECTRIC GLITCH THAT INCLUDED THE PARKING BRAKE ISSUE.

SINCE THE FIRST DAY DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MILES HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL, A C AND DRIVE TRAIN OR WHEEL PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRANSFERRED.FROM A SANTA BARBARA CA DEALERSHIP TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN LUIS OBISPO CA. THEY CALLED ME ON A SUNDAY TO SAY THE CAR WAS THERE IT WAS RAINING AND DARK. CAR HAD 400+ MILES ONE IT AND SAFETY CHECK HAD NOT BEEN DONE SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY RECEIVED WHEN IS WAS 0. ON THE 7TH OF A 10 MILE RIDE HOME THE WHOLE.ENTIRE DASHBOARD FIRST SIZZLED OUT LIKE AN OLD COMPUTER.MONITOR GOING BAD THEN.COMPLETELY WENT BLANK. I COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. AT THAT POINT I HAD NOT YET HOOKED UP MY PHONE.TO APPLE.PLAY WHICH IS A WHOLE NOTHER SOFTWARE ENDLESS.GLITCH BAG OF ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IT POPPED THE HOOD AND ALMOST BURNED MY HANDS ON THE HOOD ARM. THE DIGITAL DASH TURNS BLACK AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH (NO MILES.PER HOUR, ETC). EVERY OTHER DAY MY IN DASH FACTORY SCREEN RADIO GOES BLACK. THE CAR UNLOCKS ITSELF OVERNIGHT EVERY FEW DAYS. MOST IF THIS INCREASES WITH FREQUENCY WHEN IT RAINS. AT LEAST ONE TIME A WEEK THE CAR WON'T UNLOCK BY TOUCH EVEN THO I HAVE THE KEY ON ME. SINCE DAY ONE THE CLIMATE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON FULL BLAST. SINCE DAY ONE RIGHT FRONT LOUD BEARING NOISE NEAR TIE ROD ARM AND LOUD KNOCK/BEARING/BUMP NOISR IN DRIVE TRAIN AREA; UNDER DASH AND IN AND INSIDE DOORS AND SUN ROOF RATTLE SO LOUD I HAVE TO TURN UP THE MUSIC NOT TO HEAR IT LIKE PARTS ARE LOOSE, AT 9 MONTHS HOT FULL BLAST 90+ DEGREE HEAT COMES ON WHEN THE A C IS TURNED ON (STUCK.IN HEAT MODE) EVENTUALLY AFTER BEING TURNED OFF WILL RESET ITSELF THEN WORK NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 4 TINES IN THE PAST WEEK. SINCE DAY ONE TURN SIGNALS GET STUCK AND DON'T DISENGAGE UNLESS FORCIBLY FORCED. NO CLEAR COAT ON DOOR JAMS. HOOD, TRUNK AND DOORS HAVE UNEVEN GAPS/MISALIGNED.CRACKED LIGHTS

FIRST TIME SPEEDOMETER READING 0 WHILE DRIVING. SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN HWY, ALL ERROR LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON, I HAVE 10 OR SO PHOTOS, OF THE INCIDENT, SPEEDOMETER READ 0 GOING UPWARD OF 50 MPH, POWER STEERING WAS GOING IN AND OUT AND VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BEING IN COLORADO. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING FREEDOM HONDA CO SPRINGS, CO. NOW ITS THE 3RD TIME A REPEAT OF THE SECOND TIME EVERY INDICATOR ERROR LIGHT ILLUMINATING, NO SPEEDOMETER, AND POWER STEERING INTERMITTENT AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF FRIDAY 9/8/2017 FOR DIAGNOSIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO FLASHED ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FLETCHER JONES HONDA LOCATED AT 1111 N CLARK ST SUITE 2, CHICAGO, IL 60610; 312-614-1948), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-999-1009 AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IF THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110.

I LEASED MY HONDA CIVIC FROM HERB CHAMBERS HONDA OF BOSTON IN NOV. 2016. IN MARCH 2017 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING, THEY TOLD ME THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED ON THE WIRES UNDER MY VEHICLE. AFTER I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND MY CAR RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE WIRING (UNDER MY CAR) DUE TO THE SOYBEAN COATING THAT HONDA IS USING ON THE WIRE COVERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR WARRANTY. REMIND YOU "THIS IS A LEASE." MY BRAND- NEW LEASED CAR WAS COMPLETED DEAD AND WOULDN'T EVEN TURN ON. I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T DIE ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAVE READ ONLINE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAD TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLES. I WAS QUOTED $2,600 IN REPAIRS. I ENDED UP PAYING A $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS IN PLACE IN CA AND OTHER STATES REGARDING THE "SOY-BASED WIRE COVERING." THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE BY HONDA.
