36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2019

Traveling on the highway at around 65 mph when I heard a loud bang come from the top of the car. The moonroof had unexpectedly shattered. Heater was on, weather was around 60 fahrenheit in California. When the moonroof shattered, I was no where near an over pass; I have no reason to believe something from the exterior caused the damage. Glass shattered outward, but bits still fell within the vehicle. Photo can corroborate outward trajectory.

There is a buzz/vibrating sound when the air blower is on. There is a current service bulletin out there for Honda Civic 2012 service bulletin 13-041. This should be amended to include all Honda Civic 2015.

38 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2018

About 15 seconds entering the freeway I decided to merge. As I accelerated I heard something pop or like a clunk/thump sound, like something had shifted, then my car began to slow down. Then when I stepped on the gas my rpm was moving but my cause was not. Good thing I was still on the far right hand side and was able to pull to the shoulder without causing any accidents. I turned the engine off then back on. Engine was fine, it started but I my car wasn't moving when I pressed the gas on drive. I tried to reverse my car but it moved very little as well. Sounds like my problem reflects the recall on 2014-2015 Honda Civic cars regarding about the transmission, although a recall doesn't show when typing my VIN.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2018

As I started to drive I noticed that was running really slow and making a loud noise. After 2 miles I turned around and went back to my workplace. As soon it reached uphill the car was driving backward. This is 3 yr old car,the auto repair guy said its the transmission. I find it odd for a 3 yr old car with 75,500 miles only. Also first week when I had it the tire pressure kept coming on. I thought it might be a sensor problem or maybe software but the car company dealer where I bought it kept telling me it's something to do with the weather. The light is on for 3 yrs now so how do I really know if my tires are ok or not. . My car went to hydroplane one when rainstorm and come to find out my tires were bad and bec the tire pressue light was on all the time it didn't really gave me a real warning regarding my tires. The car dealership company just ignored me. Do they have to wait until I really have a bad wreck?? pls. Help me,I really want Honda care to know before its too late. Thank you.

Takata recall; airbag light has come on twice for no reason over the past 3 months for a few days at a time and will go off. Has come on only when stationary and shows until it decides to go off after I've started the vehicle after a period of time, as if it never was on. Transmission issue; transmission pulling/slipping. When putting vehicle into reverse or drive it stalls and jerks back. When accelerating from a stop vehicle stalls/jerks. When slowing to a stop vehicle jerks consistently. Less than 100,000 miles.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2017

Rear view camera has very poor image. It is too dark to be reliable as a safety feature. Camera is so bad it could actually present a hazard if you rely on it. Online forums confirm this is a common complaint.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2016

My mother leases a Honda Civic 2015 and was parking the car at a slow speed , foot on break the engine surged and the car sped forward. The car hit the car in front of me. I immediately put the car in park and shut it off. After a few minutes I restarted the car to back it up --as soon as I put it in reverse (with my foot covering the break) it surged again and the car sped backwards. I filed a case with Honda America 05128777 - they inspected the car and say they can not find any reason for this. I am posting this because it was really frightening and I do not want this to happen to anyone else.

I first purchased a 2015 Honda Civic and started hearing this "grinding/creaky" when I pushed down on my brakes, coming from my rear. Don't get me wrong, I am able to use my brakes as I wanted, but when I pushed down on the brakes to put in gear or just pushed down a little too hard, I would hear this noise. Also I noticed, whenever I had a full tank of gas (took me a while to figure this out), I would hear this "thumping" noise. If I do not have gas in my car, I do not hear the noise. I went back to the dealership a total of 3 times. The mechanics told me these were not normal noises, they tried to diagnose my car, if kept my car the last time for 5 days but was unable to get the sound to really go away. I even tired to take it to another Honda dealership to get my car looked at, but I was told, "to take my car back where I bought it from because its clear there is a problem, and they didn't want their techs name on it". I was shocked. I went back to the original dealer and they even called the american Honda technicians who were of no help. I was fed up and felt unsafe in my car, since I was being told these were not "normal" noises, I asked to trade in my car (same exact year/model). Despite test driving the second car (on an empty gas tank), I didn't hear any noises initially. But now its been a few days and I hear the exact same noises in this car, as I did the first one. I have no idea what to do. I just want a car that does not make any of these noises. I just traded in my car to receive this one I am currently driving on 2/5/16. I have yet to go back to the dealership to let them know of these noises on the 2nd car, because I fear being jerked around again. I reached out to corporate and received a case manager named robin who has yet to get back to me and never returns phone calls. I am desperate to find out these noises.

While driving in parking lot of the mall my sunroof just popped. Sounded like a gun shot. Nothing hit my roof just popped.

50 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2015

My rear view cameras is extremely dark and dangerous to use, especially in the sun (I believe they are all that way) I went to the dealer in port charlotte florida where I bought the car twi times and after 3 employees agreed you can not see well enough out of it to be able to use it they had me bring it back so they can have their master tech call a company master tech to trouble shoot the problem and it would take 3 to 4 hours. The result they gave me in writing was "working as designed". There is obviously something wrong with the design as my 2012 Honda crv worked great and the 2013 Honda Civics worked great. They changed the camera in the Civic in 2014, I think they are all bad too.

51 Equipment problem

I leased a new 2015 Honda Civic from ourisman Honda in bethesda, maryland in June 2015. Shortly after this purchase, I started to see small pale spiders in the car. This is the first time I have ever seen a spider in any car that I have owned. I see about 1 spider a week and most recently, this morning July 11th involving a spider about 1/2 an inch in diameter and an off-white/pale color. I took the car into the dealership this morning and my complaint was greeted with both incredulity and mirth. One of the service people said that spiders are part of nature and that there is nothing they could do. I am filing this report with dot as well as the state of MD and ourisman in hopes that Honda will do something about this before someone (including myself) gets into a car accident.

53 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2015

We purchased this car on April 11, 2015. Don't drive the car everyday. However, every time I am in the car, even for short distances, I get really sick--headache, nausea, tightness in the head, and extreme tiredness. I am not prone to car sickness, and have driven a brand new Honda accord previously, and have never experienced these symptoms before. A 2011 report cites Honda Civic as being the 'healthiest' car to drive. Has something changed in the materials that Honda now uses? is anyone else experiencing these problems? what can I do next? how long before ventilation dissipates these issues?.

54 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

While traveling at slow speeds in city driving, the car tends to lurch forward. Concerned about takata airbag- before I bought vehicle asked if one was installed and/ or airbag manufacturer. Could not get an answer and was told to buy a 2015 "just to be safe". In light of the 2015 vw takata airbag that just ruptured I would like advice on what to do as I bought the car . It is hard to believe that takata would be allowed to continue putting airbags in without knowing the cause.

55 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/18/2015

When it is sunny outside the rear view camera image is so dark that the camera is not a reliable tool for use backing the car up, thus, it is not performing as designed.
