• 12/30/2015· SEATS

  THE DRIVERS SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. IT CAUSES PAIN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO FIND A POSITION THAT IS NOT AGONIZING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT LENGTH OF TIME I HAVE SEVERE LOWER BACK PAIN THAT INTERFERES WITH MY ACTIVITY. *JS

  WHEN RAINS, WATER LEAKS INTO INTERIOR. BOTH BACK SEATS GET WET & IN A TRUCK GETS PUDDLES OF WATER. THE WIRING GETS WET, WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES. PLEASE, LET ME KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. WE HAVE THIS ISSUE SINCE 2013, THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE CAR WAS CERTIFIED BUT DEALERSHIPS REJECTED TO FIX IT.

• 12/26/2016· AIR BAGS

  I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016, STATING THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS WERE BEING RECALLED AND THE PARTS WOULD BE READY IN LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL 2016. THE LETTER STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN MY PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED AS SHRAPNEL COULD BE DISLODGED IN AN ACCIDENT. ITHE IS NOW THE END OF DECEMBER 2016 AND I HAVE STILL NOT HEARD BACK FROM HONDA WITH A SOLUTION. I ALSO DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS ETHICAL TO ASSUME THAT SHOULD SHRAPNEL FLY FROM MY AIRBAGS DURING AN ACCIDENT, NO ONE ELSE IN THE CAR NOT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL BE AFFECTED.

• 12/26/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  TODAY, MY 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE - 26000 MILES. AT FIRST I WAS SHOCKED. NOW, I AM DEEPLY DISTURBED BECAUSE TODAY, I LEARNED OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA REGARDING BRAKE ISSUES IN 2008, 2009 AND 2010 HONDA CIVICS. SERVICE REP AT HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR INDICATED THAT BRAKES HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ON HONDA ACCORDS IN THE PAST, SO MUCH SO, THAT HONDA DID COME OUT WITH AN IMPROVED BRAKE PAD FOR THE ACCORD. I UNDERSTAND THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT HAD BEEN INITIATED DUE TO THE ACCORD PROBLEM AS WELL. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH RESPECT TO THE CIVIC. HONDA IS FACED WITH A VERY SERIOUS, WIDESPREAD SAFETY PROBLEM ON 2010 CIVICS DUE TO PROBLEMATIC BRAKES. LET'S HOPE THEY STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS. OUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON THEIR INTEGRITY. *TR

• 12/25/2017· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 21, 2017 AND ON DECEMBER 25, 2017 (AT APPROXIMATELY 5:20 PM EASTERN TIME), THE ENGINE OF MY 2010 HONDA FIT ACCELERATED RAPIDLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY OR SUBURBAN STREET. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS NOT TRYING TO INCREASE THE CAR'S SPEED BY PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE CAR'S CLUTCH AND PUTTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE AT A HIGH SPEED AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL.

• 12/24/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE POOR LIGHTING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. CONSISTENTLY I HAVE TO DAB THE SWITCH TO DOUBLE CHECK AND CONFIRM THEY ARE ON AT NIGHT WHEN I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AND OR ANY SIGN THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY WORKING. I ALSO REGULARLY TOOK A LOOK AT THE ACTUAL LIGHTS TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T HAVE ONE BURNT OUT OR SOMETHING. NOW I AM SELLING THE CAR AND HAD IT DETAILED, SO THE HEADLIGHTS WERE POLISHED AND IT WAS MIND-BLOWING TO REALIZE THAT THE LOW QUALITY OF THE PLASTIC COVER LENSES WAS ALWAYS THE CULPRIT. I GUESS THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY MAKE AND MODEL OUT IN THE ROAD, SO IN FACT HOW MANY OF ALL THE ACCIDENTS OCCURRING EVERY SINGLE DAY COULD BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY BLAMED ON THIS PROBLEM? ESPECIALLY THOSE CAUSE BY RUNNING OVER OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD OR EVEN PEOPLE... I ALWAYS KEPT MY CAR CLEAN, BUT THIS IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM, AND IT'S DUE TO THE LOW QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED, JUST AS THE KILLER AIR BAG INFLATORS... THIS CAR HAS ALL THE EXTERIOR TRIMS AND MOLDINGS MELTED, CRACKED AND MOST GONE, AND THIS HAPPENED IN JUST A FEW YEARS, BUT OR COURSE THIS IS NOT CAUSE FOR ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS SO NOBODY CARES (ARGUABLY THE SUNVISOR EXPLODING IN FRONT OF YOU COULD BE)... BUT THE HEADLIGHTS IN EVERY SINGLE CAR OUT THERE IN THE ROAD I BELIEVE IS SOMETHING MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF, AND IT IS NOT THE OWNERS/DRIVERS RESPONSIBILITY, OR THERE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF MANDATED DISCLOSURE ABOUT IT. SOMETHING LIKE: "THIS CAR IS BUILT TO LAST ONLY ONE LEASING PERIOD OF 36 TO 48 MONTHS IN A DECENT SHAPE. DO NOT BUY IT OR GET RID OF IT SOONER, OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. GOOD LUCK!"

• 12/24/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND RECENTLY QUIT DRIVING. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE ANY MORE WAS POOR VISIBILITY, WHICH I ALWAYS BLAMED ON MY POOR EYESIGHT, INCLUDING CATARACTS. THE PROBLEM, AS IT SEEMED REASONABLE, WAS WHEN IT WAS DARK. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME OTHERWISE: ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH CATARACTS ACTUALLY ARE ABLE TO SEE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER IN THE DARK, WHEN PUPILS ARE DILATED. SOMEONE RECENTLY EXPLAINED TO ME THE REAL REASON: MY CAR'S HEADLIGHTS! I AM NOT PLANNING TO DRIVE AGAIN, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TRY, BUT I KNOW NOW THAT IF THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING AS THEY SHOULD I WOULD PROBABLY BE STILL DRIVING. THE POOR QUALITY OF THE LENSES IN THIS AND PROBABLY EVERY 2 TO 3 YEAR OLD CAR IN THE ROAD TODAY REDUCES THE VISIBILITY SO MUCH AND I'M SURE IT'S THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS AND NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING. I NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT I HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS, AND IT MAKES ME REALLY ANGRY TO KNOW IT WAS THE BLURRY BAD HEADLIGHTS TO BLAME, AND THAT THEY ARE PROBABLY HURTING AND KILLING PEOPLE EVERY DAY. NOT TO MENTION THOSE LIKE ME WHO TAKE THE BLAME FOR SOMETHING SO CHEAP. MY SON HAS A CAR LIKE THIS AND HE HAD THE HEADLAMPS POLISHED RECENTLY BECAUSE I INSISTED HIM TO DO SO. NOW WHEN HE DRIVES ME I CAN TELL THE HUMONGOUS DIFFERENCE AND UNDERSTAND IT WASN'T ME AND MY "POOR EYESIGHT" TO BLAME. I CAN'T TELL HOW MANY TIMES I WENT BACK TO THE EYE DOCTOR TO LOOK FOR A SOLUTION, AND THE REAL SOLUTION IS IN PEOPLE LIKE YOU, IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WILL CONTACT A TV CHANNEL/REPORTER TO SEE IF THEY CAN START A CAMPAIGN ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE AUTOMAKERS ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS LIKE WITH SO MANY OTHER THINGS. IT'S A SHAME!

  TAKATA RECALL I HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL BACK IN 2016. I NOTICED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE CAR IS ALWAYS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE THE LIGHT INSIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE WORKS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE WORKING. SECOND THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDOW MOTOR I ALREADY CHANGED IT 3 TIMES AND IT'S STILL GIVING ME TROUBLE. I ALREADY SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY I GAVE UP ON TRYING TO FIX IT. ALSO I ALREADY LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CHANGED MY BRAKES MINDING THAT I HARDLY DRIVE MY CAR. IN ADDITION MY GAS NEVER LAST EITHER NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF GAS I PUT. TRIED ALL OF THEM AND IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY PROMISED ME I WOULD SPEND LESS GAS BUT THAT WAS NOT TRUE.

THE ROTORS WERE FOUND TO BE IN VERY POOR CONDITION AS WERE THE PADS. THE ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED. SHORTLY AFTER THE SECOND SERVICE APPOINTMENT, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FRONT BRAKES GRABBING, AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD 18,000 MILES. THIS WAS IN DECEMBER, 2011.

NOW VANN YORK IS SAYING THAT I HAVE TO PAY 30% TOWARDS REPAIRS, I OFFERED FOR THEM TO WAIVE MY 30% OF REPAIR COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM WITH PAINT PEELING FROM MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER RESOLVED.

• 12/07/2017· AIR BAGS

  GOOD EVENING, AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE AIR BAG RECALL SINCE AUGUST 2016. I'VE CONTACTED AND VISITED THE FOLLOWING DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL: BRYAN HONDA 4104 RAEFORD RD. FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28304 EVERY TIME I VISITED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED. THE FIRST TIME, THE EXCUSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AFTER THEY RECEIVED IT. THE SECOND TIME, THE EXCUSE WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO ORDER THE PART, SO THE PART DIDN'T GET THERE. THE THIRD TIME, THE EXCUSE WAS THAT THEY NEVER GOT THE APPOINTMENT OR THE NOTIFICATION TO ORDER PARTS, AND THEY NEVER PERFORMED THE REPAIR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LAWS ARE REGARDING RECALL ACTIONS, BUT AREN'T DEALERSHIPS REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS SO THAT THE VEHICLES ARE SAFE TO OPERATE? THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED IS BECAUSE I'M IN THE ARMY AND WAS DEPLOYED TO A COMBAT ZONE, AND COULDN'T GET MY CAR SERVICED. NOW THAT I'M BACK STATE SIDE, I WOULD REALLY LIKE THIS REPAIR TO HAPPEN, BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT COOPERATING. I'VE ALSO CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUCK IN SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT. I NEED TO SHIP MY CAR TO HAWAII, BECAUSE I AM ON ASSIGNMENT TO THAT STATE. I CAN'T SHIP MY CAR UNTIL ALL OPEN RECALLS ARE RESOLVED ON MY VEHICLE, BUT I CAN'T GET IT DONE. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

HAD NO CONSISTENCY WITH SPEED OR BRAKING - SOMETIMES IT WHISTLED WHILE GOING FAST, SOMETIMES WHILE SLOW, SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING, SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING.

HONDA SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR THIS. I ONLY DO CITY DRIVING AND MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE UP UNTIL LATE 2018 AND THEN RIGHT AFTER I STARTED NOTICING THE PAINT IS GETTING FADED.

  AS A PRECAUTION, HAD BRAKES INSPECTED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXPECTING SOME PAD WEAR AT THIS MILEAGE BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. MY VERY TRUSTED MECHANIC SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PADS AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON NEXT OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS LATER, SAME MECHANIC SAYS THAT MY PADS HAVE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS - A $650 REPAIR ON BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. THE MOST TROUBLING THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO "CRICKETING" OF THE BRAKE PADS AT ANY TIME! AND NO OTHER TYPICAL BREAK WEAR FUNCTION ISSUES. NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES AND NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW, ASIDE FROM A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE.

  WIPER BLADES MAKES LOUD RUBBING NOISE, BECAUSE WIPER ARMS ARE PRESSED VERY HARD AGAINST WINDSHIELD CAUSING FRICTION BETWEEN THE BLADES AND WINDSHIELD. I INSTALLED NEW WIPERS FROM SAM'S CLUB, STILL LOUD NOISE IS NOT GOING AWAY. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW CIVIC IN 2010, BUT DUE TO LIGHT USAGE MOSTLY IN DRY DAYS, I IGNORED THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO POORLY DESIGNED WIPER ARMS OR WIPER ASSEMBLY. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 54,000 MILES SINCE 2010.

  THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL INDICATOR, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, AND THE AUDIO SYSTEM ARE MALFUNCTIONING. ON A ROAD TRIP IN JULY, THE AIR CONDITIONER (AC) STOPPED BLOWING OUT COLD AIR WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, IF WE PUT IT ON AUTO OR FAN, WE WOULD GET COLD AIR AS THOUGH THE AC IS WORKING. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE RADIO TURNED ON BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT TURN IT ON OR DID I HIT A BUMP, WHICH COULD REASONABLY EXPLAIN IT COMING ON. THE RADIO WAS A ONE TIME EVENT. AND LASTLY, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN RANDOMLY AND CONTINUOUSLY CAME ON AND OFF ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL WHILE I'M DRIVING AS THOUGH I HAD LEFT THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THIS USED TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN I'M MAKING A TURN OR ACCELERATING ON CITY STREETS, BUT LATELY, THE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON/OFF NO MATTER IF I'M TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT OR ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. I PLAN ON BRINGING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN A FEW WEEKS TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. P.S. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THIS CAR DO NOT ADEQUATELY WORK FAST ENOUGH IN HEAVY RAIN AS MY OTHER VEHICLES, MAKING VISIBILITY A REAL ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT SO I'M GUESSING IT'S THE CAR DESIGN AND NOT A DEFECT, BUT FYI WHILE I'M REPORTING ISSUES.

  I DROVE MY CAR ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 70-79 BY ITSELF WITH MY ABS KICKING IN AT THE SAME TIME. NOT ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE. NEARLY CAUSING A PILE UP, I EXITED IMMEDIATELY TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TO PARK MY CAR. WITH TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME, I PROCEEDED INTO THE LOT, UP A HILL WHEN I COULD FEEL MY CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. WITH MY PASSENGERS IN DISBELIEF, I LIFTED MY RIGHT FOOT IN THE AIR SO THEY COULD SEE, MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 0-21 MPH BY ITSELF, UP A HILL. SCARED OUT OF MY MIND, I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND PARKED IT. I CONTACTED HONDA, TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY "HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE" AND THAT THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME LOOKING INTO SUCH A POSSIBILITY. A COUPLE DAYS LATER AFTER THEY BLAMED THIS ISSUE ON MY "THIRD PARTY FLOOR MATS" AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE THEM OUT OF MY CAR, I DID. I DROVE WITHOUT THE FLOOR MAT FOR TWO WEEKS, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS MY CAR ACTING UP AND NOT THE MATS. SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR ACTED UP 2 MORE TIMES IN THOSE TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNCH OF STOP LIGHTS. I WOULD BRAKE A LITTLE TOO EARLY & ATTEMPT TO COAST IN TRAFFIC TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I'D TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD FULLY ACCELERATE ALL BY ITSELF, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY BRAKES. SECOND OCCURRENCE, WAS WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR, TURNED IT ON, BUT NEVER PUT IT INTO GEAR OR EVEN SHUT MY DOOR, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING WITH RPMS UP IN THE "REDS". MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN A SECOND TIME, THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN BLAMING THESE PROBLEMS ON MY FLOOR MATS AND THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO SERVICE OR TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING AT ALL, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO FURTHER ENFORCE THAT THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

  When I first bought the car and or around 07/22/2019 I brought it home parked it in front of my house in Santa rosa CA. As I was walking to my house I took a look at the car I just bought and notice a small drip of oil or fluid . didnt pay attention to it . Do to the fact it came straight off the lot . As time went on power steering fluid would get low I was driving from santa rosa to sausalito ca every day on a very strict disiplinary probation by my Employer Heath Ceramics LTD. I had to be on time and figured I had a safe car to get me to work and back. Months after I bought the car and kept an eye on the fluids . I was at a stop light before work in Santa Rosa . The light turned green as I excelerated the train axle snaped . Took it to car max were I bought it and let them know it was leaking the day I brought it home until the day the train axle snapped . They repaird it no charge . I drove home and it was leaking more this time I took it back and said I want a new car it was sold to me leaking and still after carmax repaird it its still leaking . They repaird it again no charge and refused to let me get a new car . Turns out the seal in the train axel wasnt replaced and sold to me. I could have wrecked on that comute .On the contract check list it marked train axle replaced or repaird I showed dan the auto repair manager at car max santa rosa ca and his manager When I first took the car in to be repaired .
