Noticed when braking, car veered to the right. The day before I dropped it off to the dealership to have it checked, the brakes felt weird a bit hard, and suddenly would not brake for few seconds (functioned again after) as I was approaching a roundabout. I dropped it off to the dealership and they confirmed an issue with the abs modulator. I am currently waiting for parts for it.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2025

Sometimes wheni go to brake the brake pedal goes all the way up and I can’t press it down to stop the vehicle. This only lasts a few seconds then the brakes return to normal. I believe this may be due to a previous recall. “a common brake issue reported with the 2019 Honda Civic is a potential problem with the brake system due to a faulty tie rod fastener connecting the brake master cylinder and brake booster, which could result in improper braking and is currently subject to a recall by Honda” not sure why my vehicle is showing 0 recalls under the VIN.

6 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2024

I was stopped at a red light in the left-hand turn lane, waiting to turn left. Light turned green and I accelerated turning left. The car suddenly braked with no car or obstruction in my path. No collision mitigation light warnings came on. The car just slammed on the breaks!! dealer service manager told me over the phone that unless a code comes up, they really can’t diagnose the issue. I believe this is a design flaw and not an issue with my car that can be addressed by the dealer. I have done research online and found many people reporting this issue and several while turning left. I am very concerned with the safety of this car.

8 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2024

When I'm driving on the highway, the car sometimes loses its grip, the brakes slip, and it's hard to control the steering wheel. The brakes are a big issue. I'm scared of driving this vehicle. Plus, I have had ac problems ever since I bought the vehicle; the air is warm.

10 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2024

The automatic emergency braking system has flashed across my dash on multiple occasions while actually braked on a handful of times. The system seems to work correctly when its needed, but the concern is it will brake while nothing has been infront of me. I have come to dead stop while going 15 through a empty parking lot. The vehicle is open for inspection at any time. The safety of myself and others is at risk due to faulty detection and can cause an accident with my child in the car. I have not taken it to be inspected or looked at. There has been no warning lights about faults in anything.

11 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 01/06/2024

On multiple occasions, at least 10, my automatic braking detector system has engaged when no other cars were in front of me or around me on the road. It has happened while driving in the city at slow speeds, on the highway at 70-80mph, and most recently while going up ramp to merge onto interstate. The automatic brakes will engage causing my car to slightly brake and I then have to accelerate, especially while on the interstate, to keep the car moving or else it could just stop in the middle of the road with a potential to cause a deadly accident. My cruise control no longer works either. I wonder if these issues are synonymous? my safety and the safety of others is definitely at risk with my car randomly braking with no cars in front of me or next to me. The vehicle routinely gets inspected at my Honda dealership every 6-8 months when I get my oil changed and they have not reported any issues. There have been no warnings on the car prior to these incidents happening. This car has no accidents and currently has 30,000 miles. I would estimate the car had about 28,000 miles when the last incident happened while going up the interstate ramp. The braking system malfunction started at the beginning of 2023 from my knowledge.

12 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2023

I was driving down the highway near where I live in hanford California the highway is 198. I was going 68, 69 mph. No one was on the road my car literally slammed on its brakes and jerked to the right. This has happened 2times I have turned off the assist I’m to afraid it will happen again. I am bringing it into the dealership tomorrow and also have them check my airbags the light in the dashboard intermittently keeps coming on then after a bit it will turn off. The first time I brought it in for the airbag lights coming on they informed me that it was due to me pulling the seat back to far I am 5 foot four. I don’t normally pull the seat back. It would be more closer to the steering wheel for me, but there was a problem supposedly with the connection that is under the seat it doesn’t make me feel too safe to think that me moving. My seat is going to prevent my airbags from deploying god for bid if I get into an accident.

13 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2023

The vehicle's automatic braking function activates for no reason. Should only function if it detects objects in it's path which driver not reacting to.

Scared it will apply full braking at some point. I know you are claiming occurs on accords and cr-v but mine being a Civic it is happening to me also. Please address this and require Honda to fix this fast!.

24 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2019

Driving my car today and had a huge issue with my brakes. When backing out of parking space and noticed someone walking behind me and hit the brakes, it was like they were stuck. After a couple of seconds they finally gave and stopped, so I just thought maybe it was a fluke. This happened while I was 2 hours away from home. Then on drive back home, I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic because of an accident on the interstate. Traffic came to a complete stop, so I hit my brakes and same thing, they were stuck (would not move). After about 3 seconds of pushing them as hard as I could, they finally gave and just barely missed hitting the car in front of me. I finally searched the internet to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. I was very shocked to see this is a known problem! this is a huge security risk! I was almost in 2 separate accidents today because of a known problem! shouldn't someone be notifying tahoe owners of this issue to keep the public safe?.

On December 20, I bought the car, Honda Civic type r 2019 red. Approximately the day I bought it, I noticed that when I put the second change to a strange noise, I told the seller emmanuel berrios and he told me that maybe it is me who is throwing the wrong changes. Time passes and I keep going more often I call America Honda the following month, which was in January about 3 weeks after buying the vehicle and I tell them that I am having problems with the transmission that every time I put the second change it makes me an strange noise, all the information is pointed out, the case number they give me is # 09236240 and in that case number is all the information previously mentioned. When I make the first change of oil and filter of the auto I communicate what of said failure and they tell me the car is well maybe they are theirs. On March 24 I noticed that when I put the car in second place the change after several days took the car to the dealer yesterday March 25, 2019 and today March 26 the manager calls me if he authorized it to lower the transmission since the codes that the car gave him did not say anything accurate and the technician tells him that there may have been a bad handling or a bad change and there is the communication to the service manager (xxxx) the car is new and since he bought it had a failure of transmission so mismanagement can not be and he tells me that the technician confirm that there was a mishandling or Honda guarantee or the extended that I put additional to the car would cover the damage and at that time I communicate from the beginning communicate problems of transmission.
