Front brakes need replacing after 15k miles only to find out this is a common issue with Honda Civics, however the company does not want to fix the problem. Faulty brakes can be a safety issue.

First thing this morning I tried to set my cruise control at 65 mph, but it didn't work. The speed of the car kept decreasing, despite several attempts to set the cruise. I turned off the cruise and tried to press the gas pedal to drive, and the same problem occurred. In addition, as I tried to increase my speed, the car made a loud humming sound and the rpms on the dash began to increase. Then an indicator light turned on; after driving for a few minutes, more indicator lights came on, my brake stopped working completely, and my steering wheel locked. My gas pedal also stopped working completely. At this point, as I was going uphill I lost complete control of the car and put the car in park because that was the only way I could stop the car. Smoke began coming from the hood. I had the car towed to the midas in salt lake city at 875 east 2100 south. The service people told me the cars engine had heated so that it melted the equipment under the hood. Later, after a discussion with the Honda corporate office, I found out a recall had been issued in August 2010 for a problem with the engine blocks of 2006, 2008, and some 2009 Civics. The Honda representative said a letter had been sent to Civic owners. However, my experience today showed me the seriousness of this problem. I could have a life-threatening accident today, and when the issue is so grave Honda should call car owners to alert them to the recall. A letter sent out one time is not enough. The midas service representatives told me they had absolutely no information about this recall in their database, which proves how poorly this entire matter has been handled. There are many families out there driving these Civics. Get your cars checked out, and let Honda know that they must take better care and full responsibility for their customers!.

2008 Honda Civic repeatedly has failed to stop (3 separate incidents, 3 different drivers). Honda refuses to replace vehicle.

Brakes when car hits a hard bump while braking, the car doesn’t stop and keeps moving forward as if the brakes lift with a big vibration in the brake peddle. At the time it happens, the remedy is to lift the brake and pump once then reapply brake pressure. Took it to a Honda dealer and said it did not happen under test drive and noting can be found wrong.

Honda: when make tight turn, left or right would hear or feel a popping or clunking noise, after driving over bumps, coming from the front suspension.

I was pulling into a parking spot turning left and as I had my foot on the brake my car jolted foward and hit the an island the was next to the parking spot.

2008 Honda Civic's have a brake system problem. I had to replace my brakes all around at 12,935 miles, the front brakes had to be replaced again at 22,885, and then all around again at 37,417. I placed a complaint with Honda America, they are unwilling to admit that there is a brake system problem. I was told it is how I drive the car. There hasn't been a failure yet, I am trying to avoid a failure and would like to have this issue checked.

The brakes on my 2008 Honda Civic gave out while trying to make a left hand turn resulting in vehicle loss of control and the totaling of my car.

There has been no wreck or fire---this is a complaint for your TSB compilations. . . . We have an 08 Civic the transmission shifts roughly, and with delays. Slowing down and then re accelerating lightly causes a delay----as if the transmission/control module can't figure out which gear to get into--- and then a rough engagement. From d to reverse, there is a harder engagement than should be. It's as if there is a problem with the control module or the torque converter. My dealer says all these things are normal in a Civic auto transmission. We have an 07 accord exl and it has none of these problems, nor did any other vehicles I've had in the past with a. T. It seems there should be some control module reprogramming or software patch for this transmission. Also, as a safety problem, it is harder to see out of this windshield during rain, esp. At night, than any car I've driven. Possibly the extreme slant of the glass? as a safety problem, as well, the brakes have a soft pedal, as well, and require more force than our accord(much much more)or than any car I am used to, except one with air in the lines. . . . Dealer says this soft pedal is normal, as well.
