Went to my local dealer on January 11 to have my car checked due to a possible knock in my engine or transmission. They checked it but was not able to find a code or the actual cause after changing the oil of transmission and running it. It still continues to have issues They told me -??might need to leave your car overnight because their master technician is not here until Monday -?? To me I didn-??t like much that answer because I spend too much for a no fix or cause. Also they could not provide me a loaner as well which was not a good idea No codes in the system or lights in the dashboard, it started a day before I took it to the shop
All light are coming in off and on in my car, keys will lock my car but when I walk away it unlocks and rolls all my windows down on its own. Had to remove key batteries for it to stop and had a diagnostic ran and it shows the body control module is misfiring and having issues. Was told there was a recall on 10th gen Honda Civics but you sight doesnt show
Driving on highway to work when check engine light came on in addition to "Emissions System Problem", "Hill Start Assist", "Power Steering Issue", etc. When scanned for codes it showed misfire codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304. When spark plugs and coils were changed one set showed signs of rust. The misfires persisted after changing out these parts. When taken to the dealership they stated that the powertrain warranty had been extended to 6yrs from the original date of purchase because of an oil dilution issue. My car was outside of this warranty and the dealer did not offer to help with repairs. I called Honda of America and explained the situation - they also stated that it was outside of warranty. My mechanic has recommended an engine replacement and estimates repair costs over $4000+ for a used engine. Radiator fluid had been topped off 3-4 times this year but we did not realize it was leaking into the engine. A full recall should be issued for this, it is a known issue and Honda is aware of it. The warranty extension is not enough if the issue is going to keep occurring.
I have been experiencing engine and transmission issues for nearly 2 years. I have under 90k miles and am the 2nd owner since 2017. There is lack of power, speed inconsistencies, sputtering and hesitation upon acceleration. It feels unsafe. I have taken the vehicle in for a diagnosis and they stated it was an issue with the turbo and it has failed. This should not have occurred as the vehicle is under 120k miles. I have since paid to have it repaired at the cost of $5678
Over a several month period the car was losing radiator fluid. I figured it was probably a stuck thermostat and the fluid was coming from the overflow. But only once did I see a minimal amount of fluid. Not near the amount that had been lost in the cooling system. Fast forward a few months and I am driving home. Top speed starts out at the speed limit of 70 and slowly slips to 65 then 60. Giving it more gas would increase the rpms but no power or forward thrust was making to the tires. It was as if, it was falling into neutral. The next morning drive to work was much worse. starting with a top speed of 65 within 10 miles on the highway the top speed went to 55 then to 45 then 35. When the top speed was 45 mph I took the first exit and made it through a stop sign on the service road. With a crawling speed of 10 mph it limped into a strip-center parking lot. Once it was stopped, pushing the gas pedal would increase rpms but no forward movement. So, I assumed a new transmission (CTV) was in my future and had it towed to a local dependable, honest, five-star reviewed auto shop. They found it misfiring and upon investigation find radiator fluid in the oil. So, they tell me the engine died and they could not even check the transmission. In the end, a used engine with 40K miles was put in it, a newer used transmission, and a new turbo (it was bad too). $14,000 + dollars is what the shop charged in June of 24 and Dec of 23. I tried to no avail to have the turbo covered under a lifetime warranty of an autobody shop that had replaced it following a road hazard claim that damaged it.

The differential inside the transmission is making a knocking noise and shakes really badly check engine light came on and traction control light both are on and break system light and I have not even had it for a year
Alarm sounded, went outside with fob to shut off. Still alarm on. Tried to get in car with fob. Had to use key in door to get in. Stepped on brake and pushed start/stop button. Alarm now silent. Push start/stop button to shut off engine and message on dash read Keyless Start System Error. Engine still running. Pushed button again and AC shuts off, engine still running and dash still reading error. Put in driver, then reverse to park and pushed button again and engine shut off finally. Disconnect negative from battery and let sit overnight. Tried to start, but just kept cranking. Disconnect battery again, tried starting again and it started. This time it took me 10 minutes before I could shut off engine. Disconnect battery again and haven-??t tried again. I-??ve read about other people having the same issues. Most say start/stop switch. Mine is on order, will install asap and see what happens. Fingers crossed.
The air conditioner does not blow cold air. The heating and fan work just fine, but no cool air. I was told by Honda that if it-??s not because of the recall, that I would have to pay, and that just wasn-??t feasible at the time.
Lost Transmission fluid cap, don-??t turn on any sensor light. I realized only because a friend just replace his. He shared the information I check it was gone. I had to buy a new one at Honda. High risk since temperature is super high in California, potential risk to lose all the transmission oil and brake.
I bought my 2016 Honda Civic and never had issues with it besides the AC unit not working which was resolved because of the recalls and was repaired by my local dealership. Now I am having issues when it comes to accelerating. There is an accelerating delay/ stall when completing a stop and there-??s a delay to get the car to move after pressing on the gas pedal or when reversing when getting out of th driveway. The most dangerous event is when I-??m driving and i come to a stop to make a right turn and right after ensuring there is no upcoming traffic to make the right turn my car does not accelerate and it-??s very scary because I can get hit by another car. There-??s times where I-??m driving and the car can turn off. I feel like my life and other drivers life-??s are at risk. Honda has recalls for fuel pumps for other year/models but not for mine. I just want to make sure if this is something that can be recalled. Thank you
I bought my Honda new in 2016 from Space Coast Honda in Cocoa, Florida. It had 0 miles. Since 2016 I have had 5 separate issues with the air conditioner, and have had to repeatedly go back to Space Coast Honda. They released a warranty for the condenser, but refuse to acknowledge problems with the evaporator. There are many many people with a 2016-2018 Honda Civic who experience issues with the evaporator and Honda wants people to pay over $2000 to fix the issue. I find it hard to believe that these issues aren-??t all related. Honda needs to be held accountable for manufacturing faulty models of the 2016 Honda Civic.
This car has given me the same repeating issues. Winter time the screen blinks blank. AC issues because of the design. Feeling the car with my foot on the break at a red light makes me want to puke. And the big one the steering. After driving on the highway for a bit, I notice the steering has a sticky kind of groove it likes to be in. I have not found a solution to the problem. Safety-camera screen blinking but you're used to using it, could potentially hit something. Nausea in traffic not good for any one. Steering-trying to maintain a lane while the steering gets stuck to the left but the road is veering to the right, it's terrifying. The car has a mind of its own and only performs when it wants...no official dealer report. I don't believe there are any official reports in regards to my vehicle. There have been NO lights or any kind of warning or messages about this. AC was about a year into having the car. The screen happened first winter and every winter since. The sticky steering wheel has been like herpes for about the past 5 years. I just want to have nice things that work. Thank you for your time.
All engine lights flashed while driving, check engine light remained on after all others went off, emission system warning keeps prompting attention, and car just slowed to only 8 mph as I was driving down the road. Available for inspection any day. I had my 7 month old child in the backseat and almost got slammed in the back while going down the road as my car slowed abruptly as I was driving. Nothing was wrong prior, and I took it to a service department when I went for my oil change, but it was going to be very costly to just hook up for diagnostic testing. Car ran at normal speed after this incident, but engine sounds louder and rougher and check engine light and warnings are still present.
I love my Civic and I debated if reporting the issue, but in the interest of safety here it is: When you have to brake hard and suddenly (someone cuts you off) the car loses power (will not accelerate just coasts) for a second or two, but it seems like an eternity if you are in an intersection trying to get out of the way of aggresive traffic. After that power is back and the car is as excellent as it always has been. Incident has happened 3 or 4 times since I got the car in 2016.

No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure, and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

Received recall notice on my vehicle per cylinder 2 & 3 misfiring. I brought my vehicle into service and I was told this recall did not apply to my vehicle as it was specific civics that had this problem (with my VIN on this recall) Honda then took this notice and disposed of it. I received another recall for drivability of my vehicle, still nothing done. About a year later my car was in and out of Honda due to my check engine light being illuminated. This was the trend from at least October 30, 2021 to present time. When my vehicle was brought in due to the check engine light being illuminated and the vehicle juddering, Honda replaced the solenoid purge valve as it was misfiring ($147). October 29, 2021 preformed a transmission fluid service ($159.95) and brake system fluid flush ($129.87) which I never approved of as I have never done any flush on any of my vehicles. December 10, 2021 my car was loosing power while car had only been running for less than 5 minutes, then died out in the middle of the road. Had car towed to Honda for diagnostic once again.. they performed a valve adjustment and replaced the gasket cover ($408.10). Which did not fix the problem but I was still responsible for the bill. Resulting in a -??cracked engine-?? block per Honda-??s diagnosis after all this extra work was put into my vehicle. I was giving a diagnosis of cylinders 2 and 3 being below specification (exact recall on vehicle, cylinders 2 and 2 under specification) resulting in the car needing a new engine, priced out to about $10,000 for a used engine and labor. Honda refuses to do anything about this problem.
Transmission replaced twice within 2 months. Vehicle makes loud noises. Vehicle not safe to drive. Transmission is defective. Parking brake has technical issues.
