On halloween night 10/31/2015, after getting home from taking kids trick-or-treating I was leaving to go to store. While I was backing out of the drive-way I realized I forgot my wallet inside. So I opened the door & went to step out, then noticed I was sticking out in the street a little bit. So I left my left leg out & door open because I was only going to pull forward a couple feet. When I put the car in drive & barely pushed the gas pedal, the gas pedal forced itself to the floor & the car accelerated very quickly. I had no control of the car & tried everything I could to stop it! but it was too late. . . . The car shot us through the garage door where my leg & foot hit the rock siding entrance going into garage. It also twisted my leg all around & was pinned in between car and garage wall. The car came to a stop when it took my brand new motorcycle I had only owned for 3 weeks & smashed it into the wall!!! it completely totaled my motorcycle. But I was so badly messed up & hurt I couldn't even hardly walk or put any weight on my left leg. After months of physical therapy & lots of doctor bills I am healed, for the most part. I contacted Honda & they did an inspection of the vehicle but didn't find anything wrong with it & released it as a safe driveable vehicle. So I was left with about $15,000 worth of damage including my brand new motorcycle. My full coverage insurance only paid about 3/4 of what I paid for the bike. This was one of the most traumatic crazy things to ever happen to us! im just so lucky & glad that one of the kids wasn't in the garage playing or anyone else got hurt! this could've been sooo much worse than it already was!!!.
I was ready to leave for work and my car was parked out in front of my driveway. When I went to go start it up, it made a loud noise and didn't want to engage in "reverse. " after five minutes of trying I tried putting it back in "park" but again the same loud noise and it still didn't engage. It only stayed in "neutral" so I left it there and didn't drive it because it was out! really Honda?? this needs to be resolved because it's costing a lot of hard working americans a lot of money when it wasn't their fault! shame on you Honda!.
Went to the store, car started with no problem. Only in the store 20 minutes. When returned I was not able to start the ignition. The ignition is locked. Had to call a tow truck to have the car towed.
Transmission failed and car died while driving on highway at 55 mph with no warning. Was in slow lane and able to get onto shoulder without getting hit. Transmission had to be replaced.

The peeling metal plating on the interior door handles causes cuts to fingers and hands. They range from severe paper cuts to deep finger cuts. The chrome plating on the interior door handles peel and create sharp edges that cut and draw blood. This occurs when the door is opened. Our whole family had cuts especially my daughter.
On November 15, 2012, I took my Civic to don jacobs Honda in lexington, ky. They sent me to the body shop where [xxx] took pictures and documented the problem with a body shop estimate. I received an email with all of the pictures and estimate of over $4,000 to repaint the car and was told somebody would get back to me once they had talked to the district rep about the problem. January 15, 2013 I sent this email:hello all, this estimate was given to me two months ago. Since then, I have requested an update on the status of this issue: once December 4, and again on December 27. I received no communication in response to either of my requests. I realize there were multiple holidays in the past two months, but my car is only looking worse as time goes on. I look forward to hearing from at least one of the three of you before the end of the week. Two weeks later, when I still received no response, I sent another email January 29:it has been another two weeks, and I still have not heard an update on where we are with this issue. I have attached an updated picture of the hood of my car. As you can see, and I'm sure you know, the paint is rapidly deteriorating other areas are continuing to deteriorate as well. I feel I have been very patient for the last two and a half months, but I really need some answers before my entire vehicle is covered in this mess. I got this reply from [xxx]:I am so sorry that still haven't heard back. I left lance a voice mail as well to contact you today. February 1, 39 second voicemail: basically saying Honda wasn't going to help me so I called Honda in CA, expressed my frustration and tried to explain to them the horrible customer service I received. The customer service rep told me if the regional rep said they couldn't assist me with my car, then that was the decision Honda made. I can't take that for an answer. My Civic looks awful! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Issue 1) driver-side sun visor broke off while repositioning to block out obstructive glare; caused driver to pull off road as glare prevented safe driving; sun visor was replaced at consumers expense in 2012. Issue 2) during 2012, driver-side door lock became more difficult to unlock, initially intermittent issue. Honda dealership said not a problem. June 2013 the key would get stuck/unable to unlock or lock door consistently; therefore lock was replaced at consumers expense.
