This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
If we don't drive my car for a couple of days, we have to keep charging the battery. We keep buying batteries. For instance, the last battery was bought in 10/2022 and we're in 6/2023 and it's doing it again. This time we know it's not the battery. And before we were told it was the battery.
https://electricvehicleforums.com/forums/honda-civic-hybrid-12/civic-hybrid-ima-failure-bad-power-inverter-32102/index6.html On this link, there is a form of several other individuals experiencing the same issue that I experienced with this vehicle. Randomly, while driving, ON THE HIGHWAY, all the engine dashboard lights came on at once. The car stopped working. It shut down in the most dangerous environment and it-??s a miracle that we didn-??t get into a car crash. Taking the car to hybrid auto repair in order have the codes read, there was a readout of P1440, B2993, and B2992. Doing research, I found the link which I included; it appears there is a consistent IGBT malfunction in the motor power inverter which is believed to happen after 100k miles but from different testimonials, can actually happen at any mileage. This electrical issue has been closely related to the air conditioner (which our car had issues with when purchased) with the summer months upon us, I can only imagine how many more of these hybrid vehicles will spontaneously lose power in the middle of traffic.
Honda wont fix hood latch that fails to open and now has asked for a copy of my normal state title so that they can have the state make it a salvaged titled in error. They are dirty. They have never honor any warranty on the car and have said it is a salvage title when I bought it not as such a vehicle the local Honda dealerships have ripped us off...please refer to consumer protection bureau too
The hood does not open. The latch has failed with only 80,000 miles and the official position of american Honda is go screw yourself the car is a 2012 and has a salvaged title but it never had a salvaged title and they lie and never provided us any warranty services ever. We have owned over 10 Honda and they are unloyal.
2012 Honda Civic ex. Seal coat failure, mostly on roof with some paint peelage on door handle and spoiler also. This started 2 1/2 years ago and is getting progressivley worse. Honda will not rectify the issue although they are aware of paint defects and have covered a few models but not all models affected.
Applied water from a garden hose to the roof of my car in an effort to remove leaves and other vegetative debris that was stuck to the body of the vehicle. When I applied water at regular pressure to the roof, large sections of paint came off of the roof. I have filed a case with american Honda but they are arguing this particular paint color does not fall under the current class action lawsuit. However, it is very obvious the paint that was applied to the roof of my car failed due to a defect.
My wife and I have a 2012 Honda Civic which seriously is a nightmare in repairs a lot of maintenance issues involving electrical as well as the car lacking power and the car needing to replace electrical harness due to the wires bing wrapped in some kind of sweet texture that rodents seemed to enjoy to much. Furthermore with the amount of problems we had with his car at 66100 miles I would much rather go back to my 95 Honda Civic 92 Honda Civic or 93 Honda Civic del sol any other day than this jung what kind of car needs an update for its diagnostics to work seriously. What is it iron man needing a charge this car is junk the battery don't last that long and furthermore when they decide to recall this battery what is vehicle you can gladly take your jalopy back... don't buy a Honda unless you want to wish to buy new like we did and throw thousands and thousands of dollars into your vehicle to have it run like junk. Toyota Camry or corolla here I come... because this vehicle resale value sucks and so does everything else about the vehicle the gas mileage is not at all what you should claim it to be especially for ecoboost motor so yeah sad thing is my family has bought three Honda and this is the last time they see any of our retirement this car is seriously junk you can gladly take my back even if you don't recall it all rights can send it back to you in confetti us army Ranger....
The Honda technician at manly Honda, santa rosa, ca, said that there is a fault in the anti-theft section, causing the charging system to not function properly, such that the car cannot start after a few hours of not driving. He said they were incapable of fixing it. This issue became progressively worse over a three year period.
I believe it is the motor mount causing the vibrations when I start the car and back up. The vibrations stop when the car is put in drive. No more vibrations until next day and problem resumes. Car only has 28808 miles.
The film on the back window apparently has come loose. I can no longer see out the back window. Which appears to be a safety hazzard to me. This is when I am driving the vehicle on any street or highway.
My car (manual) was parked in first gear on an incline in my jobsite parking lot. The emergency brake was not engaged. Within 1-2hrs it rolled back nearly hitting my place of business and an ac unit. It is all on camera. It rolled some, then stopped, then again rolled and stopped. It has never done this in the past but I typically have the E-brake engaged. Days before, I was sitting in my same vehicle after it was parked for several minutes and it jerked suddenly. It did not roll back at this time.
When the passenger side door arm rest is leaned on, the dashboard simulates "door open" and the interior light comes on. This happens when sitting still or moving.
The TPMS alert is always on even though the tires are inflated at the appropriate psi. I have taken my car to Honda numerous times to get the TPMS reset so that it would turn on only when necessary. Because the TPMS alert is always on, I never know when the tire is low on air pressure. I took it to Honda multiple times to correct this issue, but I was told that this has been a known issue with Honda Civics and that to get it fixed, it would cost $200-300 with the possibility that the TPMS can act up like this again. This is a big safety concern because I once drove for miles and miles without knowing that one of my tires was at 14 psi. I had no idea that my tires were so flat because as mentioned previously, the TPMS alert is always on. Honda needs to issue a safety recall on this if this is a known issue amongst Honda Civics and get this issue fixed.
My car literally stop working out if nonwhere while it was in motion driving through an avenue. I thought it was the battery, tried to charged it and I did not work. Towed it to the mechanic, they changed the battery and the alternator, spent about 600 and still did not work. I ended up towing my car home from the mechanic place. I waited about a week, turned my car on, and it started working perfect. I took it to Honda shop, the run some test and they said it does not have anything. A week ago it died again, tried to turned my car on again, and it work. I do not trust my car for driving anymore. I am afraid it will stop working out of non where. I
The check TPMS system warning light come on and off irregularly. Sometimes for a few days then off for a day, then on again. Tires and pressures are fine. No leaks.
I was driving home from work on a highway (though slowly, as there was traffic), when I noticed smoke from under the hood on the driver's side. I pulled over, got out of the car, and went to open the hood to see what was going on. As I went to open it, I saw flames, so I left it down, grabbed some belongings, got far away, and called 911. Within seconds, the flames engulfed the entire front end of the car. My car was well-maintained with regular service. There were no lights on the dashboard indicating that anything was amiss. I did not hear any unusual sounds preceding the flames, and the car had been handling the same as it always did.
