general problems of the 2012 Honda Civic

Last year, in our state we have some snow and when I on my way to work I feel everything shaking starting from the wheel. When I check under the car there was nothing but ice under the car. After snow clears out my steering wheel is not right anymore. It kept pulling to the side while I was driving even at low speed. So I don't know what the problem is.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Civic. While driving 40 mph, the power steering, vsa, and esc indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (barber Honda parts, located at 4500 wible rd, bakersfield, California, 93313) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stability assist modulator failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.

Three different time, the car was parked overnight and would not start the next morning. It had to be towed. I was told that rodents had chewed through the soy based wiring insulation in multiple areas, including the fuel tank pressure sensor, the fuel hose. The mechanic could not offer me any concrete solution to prevent this from happening again and I fear a problem might occur while I am actually driving.

While I was driving my car 40mph something happened and suddenly power steering went off along with a message. It is so difficult to steer. And the dealer stated that there is nothing wrong. It's still at the dealer. However problem keeps going on. I think it has to be recalled, too.

While driving on hilly city streets during a snow storm, the vehicle stability control and abs systems engaged, followed shortly by warning lights and messages that these systems needed attention. Despite parking the car and turning off the engine, a small motor within the "abs modulator control unit" continued to operate and would not stop until I disconnected the battery. The modulator/control unit had to be replaced with a used unit costing $280, not counting diagnostic and labor charges. (total repair cost: $602. ) a new unit would have cost over $1000. The used part came with a "lifetime warrantee. " it seems that the original device should have been warranteed beyond the standard 3yr/30,000 mile limit as it is an important safety feature. Despite similar complaints posted on various websites, this problem has not been addressed with a recall.

When exiting a speed ramp off of the highway the rpm's speed up causing a horrible sound in the engine and the feeling that you may not be able to slow down in time to exit the ramp. Additionally, more than a numerous times the car is very unsteady going over 55mph if it encounters any type of "bump" in the highway upon merging into another lane it is unsteady and the whole car "jerks",(feels like it could rollover easily)you need to have a firm hold on the steering wheel or you could lose control. Glare on windshield at night presents a safety concern with night driving. The headrests are a hinder to being able to effectively see your blind spot and the car with its horrbile steering control presents another area of concern, you will be in the other lane trying to look over your shoulder more than once!.

Since I have had my vehicle I been having problems with my tpms light and Honda have failed on fixing it and will not fix it. When I start to go from a stop there is a time delay when I step on the gas pedal and the car sensor receiving information to increase gas. I been in a lot of close calls in being in a vehicle accident, I also have 2 children under the age of 3 with me at all time putting their life in danger as well. Now there is a complete electrical failure.

While going up a hill on my driveway the vsa (vehicle stability assistant) was activated on my 2012 Honda Civic due to slippage in snow. The vsa modulator got stuck and the vsa, abs and power steering warning lights instantly turned on. Upon turning the car off the vsa modulator remained on producing a low frequency hum/vibration. I had to disconnect the battery terminal last night to turn the modulator off so that it does not drain the battery. This type of failure on critical safety components should not be occurring on a 5 month old car. Luckily the failure occurred at low speed (5 mph). Had this failure occurred on the highway at 65 mph it could have resulted in a major accident.
