Some how my steering wheel is crooked, so while going straight, my wheel is around 2 or 3 inches to the left. If I turn it all the way, in either direction the wheel will click, click, click back, moving back the opposite direction with every click. I've changed both front CV axles, sway bar links, brakes, all 4 tires, bought 2 rims so far. Still having issues. Also makes a cluck sound while braking. stalls while stopping and going a lot. Had fuel recalls done already. When a car is coming have to hit the gas pedal to the floor to get it to go. Almost killed me once while automatically braking while switching lanes. There was an 18 Wheeler in front of me to start off with, I turned my signal on to get over in the lane beside of me, which had another 18 wheeler coming a way back. Once I got over the brakes automatically locked down due to sensing the the truck in the other lane. Every since then I keep that feature off. I wouldn't trade her for anything, it's been a wild ride and she keeps me on my toes. Literally. 120,000, 1 owner, 6 years March 2025!

Headgasket failure at extremely low miles due to poor or flawed design. Vehicle has a valley between the cylinders where the gasket sits begging to be blown out. The low mileage failure rate is tremendous causing numberous drivability issues while on the road. You loose entire throttle control every light on the dash comes on. Every advance system shuts down. You loose every assist feature. It’s all of a sudden and random as well. Pulled out on to the main highway 52 and my car just fell on its face. If I wouldn’t have been in an area safely and quickly to hurry and get out of the way of traffic. It could’ve seriously caused a big accident. Pulling out on a highway or interstate with everything being normal then bam you have no control of the vehicle is a very horrifying situation to have to be subjected to.

2019 Honda Civic Si (1.5L turbo engine with 6-speed manual transmission) purchased in September 2019 at CPO with 7,000 miles — current mileage 26,638. Honda factory CPO powertrain warranty valid until 11 June 2026 or 100K miles. If the vehicle is parked in gear (either 1st or Rerverse) without applying parking brake on even the slightest grade (uphill or downhill), the vehicle will slowly creep — on a couple of occurrences, the vehicle moved more than 6 feet. This has happened on multiple occasions as I do not always remember to manually apply the parking brake. Once while waiting for a friend to pick up a prescription at a pharmacy, I actually witnessed a "ratchet" effect movement of the vehicle in the parking lot while sitting in the driver's seat. I took the vehicle to Mohawk Honda (Scotia NY) for assessment. My answer was to always set parking brake as documented in owner manual — interestingly, it states the same for vehicles with CVT (automatic) transmissions as opposed to simply putting them in Park. I have owned literally dozens of manual transmission vehicles since 1981, and I have never before experienced this. Service manager (via phone) later blamed low compression engine as incapable of holding vehicle when in gear. Call to Honda Customer Service at the time referred me back to a dealer. I decided to pursue this once again after reading of another manufacturer's recall of a car that would not hold in place while parked.
2019 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO KEYLESS CVT TRANSMISSION. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE POWERED OFF WHILE IN REVERSE. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT, DID NOT OFFER A SOLUTION.
I had purchased this vehicle on may 27th 2021. On june 10th 2021 the transmission blew out (the car only has 11,992 miles). Even though i was able to purchase an extended warranty it appears that due to a code stored from the previous owner on november 2020 (P0219 engine overrev). The factory warranty is voided.

I had purchased this vehicle on may 27th 2021. On june 10th 2021 the transmission blew out (the car only has 11,992 miles). Even though i was able to purchase an extended warranty it appears that due to a code stored from the previous owner on november 2020 (P0219 engine overrev). The factory warranty is voided. This is unsafe to the consumer as the actual code is a private honda dealership secret, and i had zero way of seeing this code. It was not on carfax and dealerships won’t share information about a vehicle if you were not the owner at the time.
