Battery Dead Problems of Honda Civic

My car alarm randomly started going off while parked for three days, three different times of the day. The last time it happened back to back at 2am while parked. I tried turning it off with my key fob and it would not register. I opened the car with the key in the fob and pushed the start button, the engine started and I remained parked. Then I tried turning the car off but it would not turn off, instead the lights flickered on the dash and the car stayed on. I tried it 2 more times and it finally turned off the engine but not the dash. All the warning signs came on the car including a break systems error and a tire pressure error. After this, I took the battery out of my fob and now the car battery is dead. I powered up the battery today but the car won't start. The dash turns on but then it just flickers and gives me all the same warning signs. I found there were recalls for this issue on 2016 Civics and that the recall should be extended to 2017 and 2018 Civic as well. Mine is a 2017 civi and it's having all these issues that could be deadly if they happen on the freeway.

Vehicle will not start. The vehicle was sitting in my office parking lot the first time this happened and went to leave and the inside lights flashed and then seemed as if the battery died. Got car jumped off, took to economy Honda in chattanooga, TN they checked it and said nothing was wrong and the battery was fine. Left and now about a month later it is doing the exact same thing. Went to start it, lights flash and it wont come on and now it's not doing anything.

Went to start my car after 8 hours of work and the battery is dead. Car is only 4 years old and has chalky corrosion. I don't live near a beach for it to have this much corrosion nor do I know if that's why the battery is actually dying. Car has done this to me 4 times since purchasing it brand new.

I've had my car for less than a year and on three separate occasions it has failed to start. The first time it happened, I did a google search and saw that this was a common problem with the car. I found a youtube video that gave instructions on a possible remedy -- which included going under the hood of the car and finagling with the battery, etc. My husband tried this remedy and once my car started, I immediately took it to the dealership. At the dealership I was told that my battery was dead; they replaced the battery. Months later, with my new battery, this happened again. My husband tried the remedy again but when I took it to the dealership I told him that they should look further into this issue because it is not just the battery. To me, it was some kind of electrical glitch. The dealership informed me that because they could not replicate the problem of the 'no-start', there was nothing they could do. At 6 months pregnant I told them that I was being left in a vulnerable position with a very unreliable vehicle. I told them that a google search would show that this was happening with many Honda Civics and that this must be a known issue. They said they would have a Honda representative contact me and that never happened. I told myself that if this happened again, I would do nothing myself. I would get my car towed to the dealership. Well, of course, it has happened again at 9 months pregnant. I had my car towed to the dealership because it again has not started. The car remains in accessory mode and the brakes and shift gear is locked. I truly think I have a lemon vehicle because this company is refusing to look further into this issue. To note, each time the car hasn't started, it has been after I've turned the car off and returned to it a short time later, either at home on the street or at work in the parking lot.

I purchased a brand new 2016 Honda Civic in March 2016. Within the first 6-8 months I began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. I had to call Honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. Then came the electrical issues. I would lock the car and all windows would be up when leaving the car but I'd return to all windows down and the sunroof open! this happened twice within the first two years of owning the car! last but certainly not least is the battery issue. The battery won't last 10 months without issues! if you try to charge your car in accessory mode, the car battery will die and you will need a jump. I had aaa and used up all but one of my calls up on the battery issues this car has. My car insurance has roadside assistance and I had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that I was told in June that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!.

I bought my car new and have had it only 3 1/2 years. My issues started with my battery failing twice within a year of each other. I had to replace all 4 tires with new ones only a year after buying it because the tires were so worn down as if they were not new to begin with. Then I had a system failure that required my car to be taken in to service for a couple days. Then more recently I had a transmission piece failure that emptied my transmission fluid to the point that I was driving on the road and my car slowly stopped moving which eventually had me stranded on the side of the road for a couple hours until I was able to get towed. Honestly one of the worst experiences in my life. I was by myself on the side of a wooded area while it was getting dark. When I had my car not start it was in a stationary potion. When my car had a weird system molt down I was driving and when the transmission started acting up I was also driving. When driving I was on a main street and had to pull over to the side of the road.

Three times over one year, the car battery has died and the car will not start. Often this has been after the car has not been driven for two days. Numerous complaints have appeared online of the same problem. Honda service has simply refused to do a diagnostic beyond offering a new battery.

Please look into this as I did a web search and there are numerous, numerous complaints for the same issue. My concern is my wife drives alone and she has had to be jump started by strangers several times. Here is the issue, which again is all over the internet. The car battery will die for no apparent reason. The answer has been to get a new battery. However, it only solves the problem for a short while.

The battery dies without warning after the vehicle sits for only a few days. Dealership replaced the battery with a new oem battery. Problem still exists. There are many complaints across many forums about this phenomenon on Civics.

The best way to describe the car is it acts like it is possessed. For further explanation, the car (when parked) will all of a sudden have all instrument panel lights flash like crazy. This happens when turning on the ignition and then if you take the key out of the ignition it will continue and eventually stop. Once it stops the battery is then dead. The car then needs to be jumped and will run fine for awhile until it happens again. Car is driven daily and this has only happened 4 times. As such, the dealer has never been able to find out the issue since when we take it in the car is fine. This has us very concerned with kids and ourselves, as this could occur at anytime, anywhere. This is the 2 door coupe that they should start selling with a set of free jumper cables as an accessory.

There are so many electrical problems with my Honda that it just seems to underscore a much greater problem - Honda using subpar components - that I find this one also important to note. There is a problem with one of the interior lights in the car. When in the "on" position, the light may not turn on. However, it will eventually turn on (sometimes immediately, sometimes hours later), but when illuminated, the light will just cut out (sometimes immediately, sometimes minutes later). The issue is that the "on" and "off" position for the light is the same position; the only difference being whether there's light. Basically, someone can't tell what position the light is in if there is no light to begin with. This could cause the battery to die if someone leaves it in the "on" position, not realizing that it would most likely turn on later.

Bought used June 2011 with about 169,000ish, was assured that everything was checked out. Drove back home with no problems, and then the problems began. Within two months the battery died, had to replace. In Jan of 2012 car began to overheat and I noticed a 2" crack on the top of the radiator, replaced. Now transmission hesitates and rpms go way up when shifting into fourth gear. I drained and changed the fluid with the recommended Honda fluid, and now the high rpms and slipping are occurring in all forward gears. I feel like a voice in a freaking tornado when it come to any reasonable solution to my problem. This has been a major blow to Honda's reputation for me. This seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed and an immediate safety recall needs to be taken out.

Our 2006 Honda Civic ex automatic had the battery die on us while the key was still in the ignition and apparently this combo is a sure fire way of destroying the abs modulator which Honda charges $900 to repair. This is a wide spread Honda problem which was revealed once I started searching for what the lights on our dash meant. More people with the same problem can be found here. . Read more...

Premature sudden battery failure. Shorts out. I've have to get a new battery every year.

Twice now our 2009 Honda Civic lx has failed to start when we turn the key. The battery light comes on as if the battery is dead. Both times, I tapped the gas and the car started with no problems. Also both occurrences happened when our weather was very cold. This is our first winter with this new car and it would be really horrible if this were to be an on-going issue. We have an appointment to take it to the dealership under warranty to check the battery but like the above complaints, I have a feeling they will find nothing wrong. The car runs fine once it finally starts. My husband stated that tapping the gas on a fuel injection car is not good but it seems like this is the only way to start the car. We have had this car maybe 6 months and we don't drive constantly. I drive to work which is about 3 miles away and only part time.

I purchased my brand new 2009 Honda Civic ex less than 4 months ago. For the first 2 months the car seemed to be running fine then unexpectedly the battery started to randomly die. This happened 4 times in 2 days which prompted me to bring the car back to the Honda dealership for a service check up. They ran a diagnosis on the battery and on the charging system. Everything seemed to check out ok so for a temporary fix they gave me a new battery. Less than a month later the problem happened again, the battery randomly died. I took the car back to the dealership and explained to them that I didn't think it was an issue with the battery since this had already happened once. Once again they ran a battery and charging test, which tested out fine. The mechanic told me that he thought it was happening because I do not drive my car enough. This should not be the case since this is a brand new car.

H2007 Honda Civic hybrid. Battery has failed and car does not have enough power to merge onto freeway.

I have had three incidents of complete battery failure on my Honda civc hybrid 2007. With the last incident, on oct. 26, 2007. I felt very shaken because I was pulling onto a highway and an 18 wheeler was coming - the battery failed and I only had the power of a small gas engine. I was forced to pull onto the shoulder of the road to avoid a collision. I have had my car at the dealership three times for the same problem and currently it remains at the dealership since Nov. 1. I am being told that they cannot fix the problem because they do not know the cause and they are unable to get the car to repeat the problem. All three times that my battery failed, I was driving in the city. The temperature outside was probably high 80s to mid 90s. The Honda dealership has re-worked the electronics twice without success.

This is a notification of a defect before it becomes a failure which causes accident or loss of life. I have repeatedly returned my 2007 Honda Civic si sedan for service (4 times) for a defect in the front suspension which could cause strut failure. The problem is unresolved. Internet research indicates many other owners (2006-07 model year) with the same problem. The consumer stated battery is dead if vehicle is not run for 5 or more days updated 12/12/07.

The consumer was involved in an accident while driving his 2001 Honda Civic. The battery died and lasted for 3 months, the airbag did not deploy and the pollen filter was unadaptable to human breathing.
