Electronic Stability Control Problems of Honda Civic - part 1

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The vehicle stability assist (vsa), the electric power steering (eps), the tpms and the brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as needed. The warning lights were no longer illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 50-65 mph, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact was able to continue driving by using physical force to steer the vehicle. The contact stated that he arrived at the residence, parked, and turned off the vehicle; however, upon restarting the vehicle approximately 6 hours later, the failure persisted. The vehicle stability assist (vsa), the electric power steering (eps), and the tpms warning lights were illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the power steering had failed and the vehicle was difficult to steer. The tire pressure monitoring, brake system, electronic power steering, and stability assist warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to drive to her residence. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to turn off the vehicle and turn it back on to correct the failure. The power steering was corrected after restarting the vehicle; however, the warning lights were still illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with lost communication with the steering angle sensor. The dealer calibrated the steering angle sensor and cleared the dtc, then test drove the vehicle. The failure recurred a week later with an additional unknown warning light. The vehicle was towed a second time back to the dealer, who diagnosed that rodents were chewing the steering column wires. The dealer replaced the steering column wires and wrapped them in a tape produced by the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the steering column wires were soy-insulated, which could attract rodents. The failure mileage was 31,879.

Re. 2015 Honda Civic-ex (VIN #: 19xfb2f85fe251724) dear sir, our referenced car has had numerous defects and deficiencies and is currently inoperable. While we've had to repair the car on numerous occasions within the past couple of years, what has occurred within the past 6 months has been nothing short of a nightmare experience; starting in February and continuing to the present day. There is something structurally wrong with the Honda Civic as there appears to be oem systems and components related defects and malfunctions that are unusual, anomalous and totally abnormal. In one instance, the car became very erratic and was shaking and aerodynamically unstable and it almost lost control, as the steering column became very rigid/stiff and was not able to initially rotate/torque the steering wheel to negotiate certain corner turns. Numerous dashboard lights flashed simultaneously including, but not limited to, check engine sign, vsa, tpms, hsas, power steering malfunction, exclamation sign, etc. We've replaced the alternator ii) replaced the battery five times; and iii) conducted the requisite alignment adjustments and tire pressure and rotation applications and other related repairs, etc. None of the above repairs fixed the root causes of the problem. We're not able to open the car doors at the present time as the vehicle is not in an operational mode. This car is potentially a "lemon" and frankly whatever turns-out to be the root cause of the problem(s), this model vehicle should be a candidate for a recall. Please do the right thing and take the necessary corrective actions to have Honda satisfactorily resolve this matter ASAP and we request NHTSA to report this incident so that it doesn't happen to another driver as this is a safety issue. Thank you for your prompt and professional cooperation. Sincerely, john daiza.

My car randomly lost power in the middle of the freeway forcing me to turn on hazards and make my way from the express lane to the nearest off ramp going 20 mph while trying to avoid an accident. My check engine light began to flash rapidly causing further anxiety. Fortunately I was able to make my way to safety and call a tow truck. I attempted to have my car delivered to the nearest Honda (walnut creek CA) however they did not have any availability for a few days. The car also had lots of smoke coming out the exhaust and read check engine oil level on and off. It was a nightmare and who knows what it's going to cost me to repair. On top of all the work I'll loose being my work relies on my car 100%. I've owned nothing but Hondas however this time I feel I made a bad purchase buying a new 2017 Civic. I've kept up with maintenance, only goes to dealership, pumped nothing but premium gasoline. I am sad, upset, angry, anxious and very much still in disbelief that this is happening to my 3 year old car at only 80,000 miles . What can I do? is anyone else having same issue? I got a code p0299 turbo underboost.

Was recently tboned at a red light, driver door, passenger door and frame dented in. I was spun around three times before coming to a stop. Front driver airbag and passenger airbag failed to deploy. Window won't roll fully down, driver and passenger stick and hard to open, lock makes a buzzing sound, seatbelt now stuck and seatbelt indicator dings even when fastened.

Sometimes the car will start by itself and then the alarm goes off . Ann this happens when the car is sitting in the driveway.

My 2002 Honda Civic is having an electrical problem to where my bran new just bought battery is draining withing 10 minutes of driving and all of a sudden my car just turns off while driving in traffic and cause it to where it is hard to stear and even to where I cant get out of the middle of dead traffic. The whole car just shuts off and won't let me start it again. This has now happend to me on the freeway and on a 55mph street as well.

Lane monitoring system provides inconsistent warnings. This has been noted when the vehicle is in motion while I drive through the city and also on the highways. It sometimes without warning adjusts the steering of the vehicle. Brake monitoring system, when it does provide warning, provides warnings so late that a collision would be unavoidable. Tire pressure monitoring system does not provide adequate information to allow for an appropriate response of the driver. No feedback from the calibration mode of the tpms. Once the system provides its first alarm, doesn't respond well to calibration. My system now alarms about every 60-100 miles. The adaptive cruise control is scary. While it is expected that in especially hilly terrain that the cruise control would vary a bit (a couple of mph either direction), the system sometimes does not engage, sometimes turns itself off without warning, provides inconsistent warning of when the vehicle interval is not maintained, but the biggest problem is that it does not maintain the set point. For example yesterday, acc set at 42 mph. Speed limit was 40 mph. I was descending a hill and manually disengaged the acc when the vehicle speed exceeded 57 mph. Same trip -- acc set at 67 mph, speed limit at 65 mph; acc disengaged manually when vehicle speed approached 76 mph. Third instance, acc set at 56 mph, speed limit was 55 mph, acc manually disengaged at 63 mph. When acc first engaged, speed is at the set point. Then the system can't maintain the speed and consistently runs 1-2 mph below the set point. Hence, me setting the acc 1-2 mph above the speed limit. Believe that these are all part of the Honda sensing system which was part of the touring package, which is what I have. The 2017 cr-v models with the same system have a pending class action lawsuit. Honda will not respond to our inquiries.

When I turn our hit a bump it pops and feels like it's going to fall apart when I drive as well as makes the car hard to steer and the car trys to turn off.

The stability braking system suddenly fail. Parking brake does not work. The brake warning lights on the dash are on. The dealer claimed they had already fixed the recall but obviously not because the problem is still there.

It has a kill switch and caught fire.

The front driver side door is the only door that does not unlock or lock with keyless entry. The only way to unlock the vehicle is to manually pull out the key from the key fop and insert it into the door or open it up from the passenger side seat. There's nothing wrong with the current key fops because this was taken to the dealership for the same problem and was given 2 new key fops, but the problem still exists. This can be a huge issue when I'm trying to access the vehicle in case of an emergency and can't even get into the vehicle promptly.

My eps system it doesn't register that my car is fine but it keeps making my battery die and I have to keep getting it jump I seen there was a recall for us Nov, 10, 2016 I haven't even had my car a year yet and this problem has been going on. Since I have gotten the car.

Over 4 weeks ago, 2 weeks after leasing the 2020 car, the dashboard started to display numerous error messages. The car was evaluated at the dealer, Honda of freehold, NJ, and I was told that a certain module failed. Soon thereafter a tire warning light also started to display and once again the dealer told us not to be concerned as it is likely as a result of the same module. Not taking their word for it, I brought the car to a costco repair shop and a large nail was discovered in the tire. I've been in touch with the dealer and have also called many times to the corporate offices. The same answer was given � the part is on back order and �we will call you when we get it�. No additional information or suggestion was given to us. In the meantime, over 4 weeks later, although the car is drivable none of the safety features are operational and I am not sure what warning lights to trust or ignore.

While driving my car will put the brakes on if another care passes me on drivers side. This did it for a few weeks, then the collision mitigation system light came on and will not clear. Cruise will not work. This has happened before, but never with light staying on.

I parked my car in the driveway and put the brake on and the car in park. I sat in my car while off for a minute while calling my son to ask him a question. About 30 seconds after I got out of the car and shut the door (there was no noise indication there was an issue), the car rolled out of my driveway and hit my neighbors car. When I went to check my car, the car was still in park and the red brake light was still glowing. I had brought my car in 2 times before this happened to complain that the electrical system with the stability control wasn't working properly. The car was braking on its on and lane assist kept coming on when it shouldn't have. Honda said all was good. The last time I brought it in, for the tire lights coming on, they said the tire sticker was too close to the rim and that's why there was an issue. This was after bringing it in for this problem 2 times to be told it was ok and they only addressed it after my flat. But within 30 minutes of driving away the lights came on again. For sure there is a problem with this car and I don't feel safe driving it.

When I turn on the car all of the electrical lights turn on and the car locks, I can't move it from the p (park) shift. This has happened to me in the last 2 1/2 months, 3 times.

The vehicle experienced an intermittent but sudden and complete loss of braking power while driving on the highway moving at around 40mph. In part due to the low speed, the vehicle was safely maneuvered off the road once braking power was regained. The car dealership was able pin the issue to an electrical circuit failure in the brake control unit (Honda error codes v300-49 and v3003-68) and recommended changing the vsa modulator unit. Regular scheduled maintenance done on the vehicle just a month prior to the incident at the same dealership indicated no observed issues with braking. Attached is the invoice of the vsa unit replacement work performed as recommended.

My airbag was replaced last year. And now it will not pass mandatory state inspections due to a abs light that will not go off. I've had many people try and figure it out? yet the air bag has something to do with it. I need this fixed immediately the state of virginia will not pass the air bag light being on unknown. .

After numerous visits to ocean Honda of burlingame to discuss that the car I purchased was never actually completely "properly certified" as was discussed; and the fact that I brought it in numerous times. - I have had no cooperation. Please verify with lisa mendez who just verified to sales mgr van that the car has been probelematic since purchase and should be traded out. I do not feel and have not felt I'm driving a completely safe or dependable car. Most recent visit to discuss issues was 09/06/19 and I had been there already 3 times within the previous 2 weeks for continuing issues with lights coming on after I had service and after I had asked if there was anything needed . I was told I was all good !!. . . Now just spent $460 to find out that I need $1700 work and there are recalls I wasn't notified about. There is previous documented complaint I filed on this car a long while back. I have been trying to get them to take it back since I got it due to one thing or another. Just doesn't feel stable or secure. They should take it back and deal with it themselves. Initial complaint logged was due to a replaced seal of some sort that they broke and replaced again, I was driving and it started making a burning smell. They replaced again, but still seems not right and engine hazard lights come on -- and they clear them and tell me its ok. . . . Does not feel ok, and was not ok. I am not waiting for an accident to happen however my numerous visits and pleas to exchange and take back the car have gone upon deaf ears and they (sales) have now become rude. I feel like dropping off the car to them and giving them the keys and they can deal with it however I'm so upset that I "must have a car" so I am trying to find a new car now and having no lock since my credit is ruined.

Tl- the contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated the admission error warning light was illuminated. The contact called local dealer and were made aware of the failure. The vehicle was taken to independent mechanic, where he was informed the failure was associated to unknown software issue. The vehicle has not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 3,000. Dp.

Every single dashboard warning light and system control lights come on. Get message that system is initializing. Says problem with tire pressure system, stability, brake system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, hill start assist problem, etc. Despite numerous attempts, these lights will not go off. Steering is loose and feels out of control.

To verify my defective actuator claims. . All of my repair history is located at boch Honda,279 providence highway, norwood MA. 02062 781-619-6776 I purchased new a 2003 Honda Civic ex (7/2003) . Since I purchased it, I have had numerous documented issues with drivers side door lock . I had the door actuator replaced twice first 7/20/13 my milage being 44,129 and again now 8/19/19 with only 71,718 miles. On 1/25/14 I was unable to open drivers side door and I had to have tumblers replace and lock cylinder replaced. The past 3 years I have commented and had them check the drivers side door several times because of lock noise and alignment. I have all my repairs done at the dealership where I purchased the car so they can provide my complete vehicle repair history if needed. My car is in a garage so it is less exposed to the elements and I never wait to have any concerned checked and take great care to keep my car safe. My car has always been stationary when the problem arose in park or when I am opening and closing the door. I have a recorded video of the actual noise the lock made from 8/19/19 before the repair was made. I had my vehicle in 4 times in the last month for a airbag recall and a routine maintenance and a gas door issues that had been previously repaired am mented each time the noise of the lock was getting louder.

All systems warning lights pop up on starting the car. I came home parked the car and started it 10 minutes later and all systems warning lights came on. Power steering, parking brake, brake failure, collision mitigation system, tpms, lane departure system, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system . All these warnings show up on the dash.

Repeatedly stopping. With no warnings. When driving, engine quit in January, would not move or even turn over. The manual transmission would not move. Door locks, electric as well as with the key could not be used at. Called aaa to be able to open the door. Jumped the battery to move the car. Still frozen in gear. Had it towed to two dealers. Said the clutch was destroyed. Prior to this issue, not one problem. I had to pay 250. 00 for diagnostics to tell me clutch was burned out. I have driven over 34 years and always had a manual transmission. After clutch was replaced, it did it again and again. At this point, we bought a new battery. Once again, I called aaa and they jumped the battery. I am requesting an investigation into the constant electrical freeze. I would like a refund of the diagnostic. Charges and repairs. Clutch was installed for 1500. 00. Battery was120. 00. Please call andrea mcintosh. 5132936906. As soon as possible. Alt number is 5132386842. Power train problem.

While driving (50+/- mph) on a two lane state road, my 2019 Honda Civic hatchback sport cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) automatically engaged, bringing my vehicle very close to a complete stop for no reason I could see. There were no vehicles in front of me in either direction and fortunately no vehicle following or I would have been rear-ended. Clear morning, nothing on the roadway, no wildlife I saw. Dry and sunny, no leaves, no breeze, bare pavement. A sweet June morning in dutchess county, NY. Out of the blue the cmbs engaged automatically applying the brakes so hard I could feel the abs kicking on and in moments I was at a crawl, then the car simply behaved normally again. I've owned this car less than a week. There is no means provided to shut this feature off permanently. The only way to override the cmbs is to manually turn it off every time I restart the car. It resets every time the car is turned off. This feature may wind up causing more rear end collisions as it avoids front end collisions. What would the consequences be if that scenario happened while on a curve, driving 50 mph in the rain? or in rush hour traffic on a highway at 60 mph (or faster) where commuters typically tailgate across three or four lanes of traffic? this was my very first experience with cmbs in any vehicle and I consider it a total failure and extremely dangerous when it can engage with such force while it's a false alarm.

I was on a state road exiting on a ramp while the vehicle was in motion driving 40 miles per hour approximately two days ago. The vehicle while in motion and accelerating stopped. The car threw me back and forth causing me to go the er the following day. Reston hospital in northern virginia. I took the car right after and dropped off at dealership for repair. Dealership is not giving me any concrete answers if the car is safe to drive again. I read online a owner of a Honda 2019 Civic same as mine had the same problem of stopping while in motion while on a highway suddenly. I do have product update: fuel level sensor dtc space p0461 software update notice from Honda I just received. Do not know if this is involved with my current incident? I'm scared to drive my new car and now in pain medicine , muscle relaxer medicine and have been issued a plan to go to physical therapy from the doctor on call at the er.

I went to go start my vehicle after leaving work at 4 am, 5/9/2019. Upon trying to start my vehicle, the brake pedal was stiff. I could not start the vehicle. My car's lights started flashing, with a weird clicking noise being made. On the dashboard, the system started stating "electric parking brake problem". "manual brake problem", "stability problem", and a couple other errors. The vehicle was stationary, and upon doing research, this has been an issue with 2016-2018 Honda Civics. The emergency brake was not on, and I have never used that feature. At the time of this complaint, my vehicle is sitting in my work's full parking lot, and I am stranded.

Estoy teniendo problemas con mi carro cuando el carro esta en modo parkin esta bien pero no mas lo muevo a modo DE manejo. Empiesa a temblar cuando paro en una luz. Lo rpm bajan y empiesa a temblar lugo lo muevo a parking otra vez y se pone normal. El carro est gastanfo mucha gasolina casi no lo uso. Apenas tengo ni un mes que lo compre.

While driving my 2016 Honda ex-t dashboard lights started lighting up -emmision, eps, brake hold, etc the car immediately went into" limp mode" while traveling at 70 on the highway. I am told this caused a turbo problem and the turbo will have to be replaced. While researching on the internet this seems to be a common and reoccurring problem that is not being addressed. Since it is a common problem it seems with out Honda addressing the problem this will occur again with a new turbo. I am unsure if the multiple warning lights for problems that did not exist caused the turbo problems but it seems likely. Since when these lights come on the car is designed to go into limp mode. This needs to be addressed. Luckily I am an experienced driver and was able to handle the automatic drastic decline with out breaking while driving and coming to an almost complete stop. Had the highway been busy this certainly would of resulted in an accident.

Electric steering locked while making a left turn. As I was turning the wheel seemed to lock and then all of a sudden it went the opposite direction I was turning and I almost skidded off the road. Most of the time especially when I'm getting on the freeway, it feels like I have a little control over the steering and it feels loose. The steering also gives me problems when I pull into a parking space I can't estimate how much I have to turn the wheel.

When I pulled into my driveway last night after work, my car dash lit up with alerts, one after another. I tried turning the vehicle off and on, and the lights did not go away. They are still on today. They were emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, and hill start assist problem. I took a video of the alerts. I will try to upload a picture.

I have started to get a "check air bag system" warning light on my dashboard. It doesn't happen when I start the car, but occurs at some point while driving. The diagnosis is a bad steering wheel position sensor. The car has never been in an accident; there's no problem with the rack and pinion; and the air bag has never deployed.

Couple of weeks ago I was driving and the car kept going with full speed flying with no control to stop it . I did get to make the full stop of avoiding hitting the car in front of me . But I did get rear ended .

Air tire pressure gauge comes off and on even though tire pressure is alright. Back windows randomly stop working. Air conditioning comes and goes. Not related to any specific reason.
