The salespeople are very unprofessional and don’t take the wellbeing and safety of their customers or the surrounding public seriously. My husband and I went to stark to test drive a couple of their cars. The first car that we test drove the Honda Civic should have been properly repaired first before ever being placed on the lot. To even get the parking brake lowered, my husband had to disassemble the plastic manifold, second the car was lowered to the point where it scraped the road whenever we were turning on an incline, finally there was some mechanical issue with the gear shift where we weren’t able to reverse. When we got back from the test drive the salesperson explained to us that they knew of this issue and that there’s a trick to it. This trick wasn’t mentioned to us at the start of the test drive, nor did the salesperson go with us to explain it to us on the road. This is very dangerous, what if there was an emergency and we needed to reverse. Not knowing this trick not only puts our lives in danger but also all the other drivers in the area. I’m not a car person, but even I know that a car should be able to go forwards and backwards.
On on my dashboard due to a faulty malfunction in my abs module that can only be done at Honda dealership and has to be removed only by Honda and sent off for Honda to rebuild and then sent back for them only to replace seems ridiculous to pay $3000 for this when it's all over the internet that this is an issue this is a computer issue this is ridiculous that this isn't there is no recall for this for this for this Honda issue it's all over youtube this is the number one issue that's going around.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal and brake pedal felt stiff and the vehicle had jolted while depressing the brake pedal before losing automotive power. The check engine, brake, transmission, and several other warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that after accelerating from a stop, the vehicle had jolted a day prior. The contact stated that an aaa service representative attempted to jump-start the vehicle however, the vehicle would lose automotive power once disconnected. The vehicle was towed to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with codes: p1440 and p0ae1. The contact was advised by the independent mechanic that the failure was related to service bulletin: 20-030. The local dealer was contacted however advised that contact that the VIN was not included in the service bulletin. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
All light appeared on the dashboard and we took the vehicle in for inspection. We learned that the vsa modulator had failed and was a safety risk as it controlled the brakes. This needs to be recalled as the soldering was not done correctly when originally manufactured and this particular part has failed on a high percentage of the Hondas that come equipped with the modulator. Please look into recalling this as many drivers have experienced their brakes locking up while driving due to this modulator failing.
It was raining, I went to slow down and it was as if the front wheels locked up, tcs blinking on and off, and the tires remained pulling as if power was still being sent to the front two, locked up, tires and I had no control as the car pulled me straight forward into the side of another vehicle resulting in a collision that had me hit a stopped car so hard it spun the other car around and totaled my car. This all happened within 500 feet of where I initially pulled out onto the road I was traveling on when the car started to malfunction to the road where I attempted to turn onto to avoid the crash and could not maneuver the vehicle at all.
The transmission drive pulley shaft is damaged, I was driving on the freeway and the car locked up and braked and the front wheels locked up. This is bad luckily I was on a deserted freeway and no one was behind me. This is dangerous.
The emergency brake on this vehicle does not keep the car from moving, the vehicle continues to move after you apply the emergency brake to stop the car.
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.
Driving under 30 mph in a residential area a cat crossed my path. I swiverd to the right scrapped a parked car and hit my breaks hard and my front axle went out. The front right tire practically came out leaving the car wrecked.
Purchased car with 136 miles on it. Noticed the brakes made a popping sound when pedal was depressed, also a noise was heard when the car was put into different gears. Took it in several times and was told nothing is wrong. Maybe you are pressing to hard on the brakes. Third month in I went back again for the gear shift noise and was told thats just how these Civics sound.
