general problems of the 2013 Honda Civic

Intelligent inverter unit need replace, there was a recall on Honda Civics with this problem. "but our Civic was not on the recall list, which it should have been no reason was given why it was not, it fit all the recall criteria but was not recalled. Could have broken down on the highway in an unsafe area. Sterling Honda inspected the unit and said it needed to be replaced, which we did at a cost of $2500. Would like to know why it was not recalled. It fit all the recall criteras.

Abs (antilock brake system) failure which also affects the vsa (vehicle stability assist).

Abs check light, vsa check light, power steering light comes on. They come on everytime the car is started. Sometimes it is immediately. Sometimes it is delayed. The lights come in that order. My car diagnostic scanning tool says abs will fail at 30 mph. I lack the funds to get car looked at.

The electric power steering pump is failing while driving my vehicle. When driving the vehicle, if I make a turn any way, than my vehicle shuts off and locks up completely causing me to not be able to go or move without turning the vehicle off and on quickly to get out of the way. It has caused me to almost get rear ended as well. I have spoke to mechanics at multiple shops and even spoke to Honda world about it; who advised me to take the steps of looking into a recall or submitting an incident report to make a claim.

I was driving normal on a busy street (with gas in my tank) and suddenly my car airbag lights appeared on the screen and kept flashing. Then all of a sudden my abs emergency break lights showed up on the screen and everything in my car started flashing and automatically took over. The car wouldn't break even when I was pressing on the break, it kept moving even when the electrical system took over! my car shut down in the middle of the busy street by itself. The emergerncy break lights also didnt turned off! it was a very scary moment because, I was able to do anything with the car locked and shut off. Right now I had to get aaa to tow it to a mechanic because, nothing is turning on. Please let me know if this is an manufacturing issue or not?!.

My 2013 Honda Civic has 43,000 miles and the starter is already breaking. I read that the 2013 accord was recalled for the starter but not the Civic. According to the Honda dealership the same starters were used in both cars, but the Civic was not recalled. The passenger airbag is defective as well, but Honda told me there is an extended warranty to replace them. However, they say I am responsible so replacing the starter.

Two lights on my dash came on , one light is for electronic power steering and the other is for vehicle stability assist. These lights came on randomly while driving at less than 15 miles per hour pulling away from a curb. As a result, my power steering became heavy, although it still functions. Vehicle stability control is no longer usable. Further inspection from a code reader shows that these lights came on as a result of a ground to body short.

The vsa stay on and my power steer turn on and off sometimes it's hard to turn I hard to pull over the freeway to shut the car off and then on in order to retain my power steering, my traction control doesn't work wich am guessing it's related with the vsa and my airbag light turns on my dash then turns off am a little terrified I might loose complete control off my car and my airbag will go off or not even pop off incase of an accident or I might cause an accident if I keep loosening my power steering (electronical power steering).

Once I turn the engine on I get a continuous notice to check tire inflation; when I check it the repairman finds no tire problem.

Vehicle was stationary after warming up my car I receive the following error messages: check power steering system and check vsa system. I checked the internet and noticed that other owners had similar error messages. I don't think this random, a recall should happen to find our the cause of the problem. See attached testimonials.

Honda Civic 2013 was in a front end collision where the car was totaled. Airbags never deployed. Accident was on the highway in motion. Driver or passenger airbags never deployed. Mileage is estimated.

There is no problem with my vehicle. I want to complain about the led lights on multiple other vehicles on the road. They are blinding, very distracting, and should be illegal. Something needs to be done. The date entered below is the most recent occurrence, but it happens regularly - almost daily.

Takata recall. The check airbag light is on. When I entered my VIN number, it says my vehicle is not part of the recall. However, my check airbag light is on which makes me think there is a defect.

Interior light's on the whole dash board flash while in motion driving, stopped at stop sign's or red light, stopped to make a turn and paint around windshield is peeling.

Aloha, bought this Honda Civic, hybrid in 2013 brand new and love it overall. Had an issue when adjusting the inside mirror that it actually came off in my hand while I was drying ! . . . . . I didn't feel that I was that forceful in adjusting the mirror so was very surprised to see it pop off like that, and also very dangerous while on the highway in doing so. Had to pull over to the side of the road, and was able to pop the ball joint thingy back into place. Hmm. . . . . . I've never had a car do that before !! . . . . . . . Very dangerous and should be looked into. We had called the main Honda dealership on mainland, reported it, and have a case number on it, as well as taking the car to the hilo, hawaii Honda dealership where we bought the car and reporting the issue ! thanks.

Tacata recall I purchased the 1st and probably only new car that I will ever own. I went with Honda because I thought that they would be very reliable. Imagine my dismay when I. Get notice re:auto air bag malfunction. I am now scared to transport my grandson. I am scared for my own safety. Please consider the fact that I am now stuck with my defective auto, for the rest of my life. No comfort in taking my family anywhere.

Takata recall.

Tpms indicator light on. Tires inflated at the proper pressure. I had same problem with my 2011 Honda Civic, dealer wanted to charge $112 per tire to correct it. This is highway robbery NHTSA should not allow it. Otherwise car drives fine, it is just one more gimmick auto manufacturers inject w/federal blessing to rip-off consumers.

My 2013 Honda Civic hesitates when I attempt to accelerate suddenly. This is dangerous when trying to make a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic, or merge at a freeway entry and accelerate to highway speeds. The electronic fuel injection, computer control or the engine or cv transmission may be the cause. I suspect the computer control, as the car is equipped with "eco mode". But the problem occurs whether "eco mode" is on or off. This has happened repeatedly, but I will only list the most recent issue below.

Takata recall, I noticed yesterday when rolling my windows down that my back left window was not rolling down. When I was parked I tried pushing the button up and down to see if it would roll down and it wouldn't. It made a slight clicking sound and than stopped. Today, I called gary smith Honda to see what the issue may be and they said it was the motor inside the door. I called auto zone and they looked up the year and model of my car to find the correct part and than informed me that the part was sold out locally and the vendor online was also sold out for the year and make of my car. With that said, there's a strong indication I am not the only one having the problem. I find it out of the usual for a window that is rarely if ever rolled down to have a motor go out. The other windows roll up and down with no problem.

Tire sensor always going off service claims no problems with tires and next day tire goes flat happens over and again, owner gets tired of guessing if its low air or a flat is about to happen dangerous to drive not knowing sensors are never right.

Only 18 months old & had to replace the motor for the window on drivers side ~ wouldn't roll up. All the parts were sold out and had to get one from Honda dealer in phx. Apparently this is a common problem as the tech looked it up & found numerous issues. This was an expensive repair (on a tight budget) but was able to make payments. Very disappointed there was no compensation from Honda!.

We bought the car new and over the last 6 months you cannot see the road vary well at night head lights are not bright enough,also the tires that came on the car are horrible and cheap they did not last barley 1 year and are not rated for miles. The car is not safe on the road tires will hydro plane and slip all over the road with snow this should be a safety item and Honda said it is our problem not Hondas @ 1-800 999-1009 firestone has been more cooperative than Honda I hope no one gets hurt buy the tires on Honda Civic . Bill.

Driving home up 50 degree hill. Approximate speed 35 mph. I took my foot off accelerator because I like to coast the last 1/4 of the hill for safety, slowing down for any potential idiots who might sail around the corner from the flat cross street, cutting off the part of the street that, by law, should be left clear for the car coming uphill. In a split second, my car accelerates suddenly, as though I had stomped down on the accelerator again. Now what do I do? my 2012 Honda Civic had premature brake failure that is now the subject of a class action lawsuit. Do I get rid of this "new" Honda that turned one mid-October??? I don't know what to do, given the other stories about unintended acceleration in new Hondas.

The head restraint is uncomfortable enough to cause sever neck pain/injury for me. To protect from whip lash the design is done in way to cause injury to neck. This is really bad, many are going to end up in therapy or orthopedics due to poor design like me :-(.

On Thursday our ac started blowing hot air. I contacted a Honda service rep and they made an appointment for the upcoming Monday. On Monday we waited 2 hours so they could check the car and so they could just tell us that there is a leak and they are not able to find it. They filled our car with free-on and added a dye and asked up to come back in 2 weeks, they said out a/c should begin cooling. . . It did for 3 hours. I made an appointment for Thursday of the same week. The reps said I need my condenser replaced, that road debris damaged the condenser. I do not recall going over anything or hitting anything. How can a condenser be damaged on a new car. They gave me an estimate for $535. I began to read into it online and I am not alone. There are many complaints yet Honda has not made anything better.

Issue occurs with setting speed control. In this model, the customer can choose either choose res +, res –. I found out if I choose res -, the vehicle sets the speed correctly most of the time with +/-1 mile which is ok. During this mode, each time the customer press “-“, the vehicle speed decreases by one mile which is as designed. Sometimes, the vehicle does not hold the speed at the requested set speed and the vehicle speed continue decrease I found out if I choose res +, the vehicle sets the speed correctly most of the time with +/-1 mile which is ok. During this mode, each time the customer press “+“, the vehicle speed increases by one mile which is as designed. Sometimes, the vehicle does not hold the speed at the requested set speed and the vehicle speed continue decrease the main and the most serious issue is, if the customer choose res -, then apply/press the brake the cruise control will be cancelled which is ok then if the customer choose res + after that, the vehicle speed continue rising without limit. This could cause accident if the driver did not pay attentions especially because it is not the normal operation.

Tl -the contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated his horn is not loud enough. The contact took his vehicle to the dealership. The dealer stated recommend the contact go to an auto store and purchase a new horn because the factory horn was up to code. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure 5. Az.

Vehicle hesitates occasionally on start up. This is completely unpredictable and requires pushing hard on the accelerator, which results in a very fast takeoff. If you leave an even pressure on the pedal, the car will eventually move off, but this unpredictability can be quite dangerous if you are trying to pull out into a stream of moving traffic.

Takata recall!!?! airbag indicator issues starting at 45 mi. Check airbag warning is now on always. It's taken over my lcd display screen completely making it useless I. E. Maintenance info, mileage, handsfree equip. Options. Everything (aside from back up camera, still functioning while in reverse) airbag warning light indicator has disable all components on steering wheel I. E. Horn, cruise control, volume ect. . Still no recall? I'm scared for my families safety! do something Honda. Someone needs to make Honda address these issues ASAP!.

The paint on my vehical is been peeling since I brought the car. Its small amounts around the car that noticeable. On the roof,side doors,and truck.

Drivers side of door sticks won't close properly. Today had to open door from drivers side and then notice that the bottom of passenger side padding is comming off. Took it in to get fix. Honda of roanoke rapids called tech line. Tech line has no information on how to fix it. Door is sticking. They haven't got back to Honda yet. So what am I to do on a brand new car. Give me a new car or tell tech line to find out how to rectify it.

My 2013 Honda Civic exl the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration . The vehicle erroneously decelerated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer . The car was checked out they couldn t find the fault. The failure started @ 300 miles. And been doing this 12 times the mileage is now 7,500 miles, I wanted the dealer and Honda know that they have a problem . The last time I was turning left at a traffic light and almost was hit.
