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.
Last July I had to have my AC condenser and compressor replaced due to one side of the air conditioner working. Bad part was i had to pay to have a recall fixed after the fact and now im trying to get American Honda to reimburse me my money. After 1 year the problem came back and now they are saying it's my evaporate coil. Honda is not taking this seriously and expecting people to pay several thousands of dollars to fix an issue that is their problem.
This car's evaporator is defective. Evaporator failure left many individuals, including myself, without air conditioning. In California, where I live, the temperature can rise above 100 degrees. Due to the leak and the high flammability of the freon, it is a safety risk. Additionally, drivers who must commute in hot weather may have dehydration due to the lack of air conditioning. Whenever i'm traveling the heat makes me feel weak and dizzy. Honda dealerships charge between $1,500 and $2,000 for repairs. I believe a recall should be issued to repair the entire A/C system in Honda vehicles from 2017 to 2019.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle started to idle very rough. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was an engine cylinder misfire failure with DTC codes: P0302 and P0303. Additionally, the contact stated that there was a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. Fuel injectors were replaced by owner April 10, 2022. Upon oil change the same day, oil was very dark, despite only having 600 miles use since last changed and there was fuel noted in oil. Pictures were sent to NHTSA. Since changing injectors fuel mileage has improved greatly. The car has gone from averaging 37MPG to around 41MPG. Oil changed on 6/27/22, coloration was normal for routing change and did not note fuel in oil. No warning lights or issues with operation since injectors changed. The P0302 & P0303 codes were to be covered as part of a service bulletin relating to oil dilution but both Honda corp & dealership stated that injectors were not covered as part of the service bulletin. Even though the injectors could be directly responsible for the oil dilution issue if not properly functioning and throwing codes associated with the bulletin. Owner incurred the expense of rental car for a week, two lost days of onsite work with employer, and cost to purchase injectors. Will provide receipts.
There is fuel leaking into engine oil and thinning it out. My mechanic said there's a software issue causing it but a recall hasn't happened for it. It's hurting my car performance and making my car speed up faster even when breaking.
Water leakage from the engine bay that damages coil packs and spark plugs. Coil pack seal is not durable enough to repel water once its introduce from the hood scoop.
Driving on the highway and my check engine light starting to flash. I experienced loss of power and hesitation during acceleration. I got home and scanned my computer and it returned P0304. I then removed the #4 ignition coil and that's when I noticed rust. Seems like the seal on the ignition coil failed and water has been leaking into the #4 cylinder over time.
While driving at 50 mph on the right lane of the saw mill parkway the engine suddenly stopped running. The car came to a halt in the right lane. It was immovable. I put the flashers on, put the gear shift in park and pushed the start button. The car did start. I drove it home but am afraid to drive it again.
The A/C evaporator has apparently stopped working. The condensor had to be replaced because it was not manufactured to specifications, and a recall was generated. I am of the opinion that the same thing has happened to the evaporator, as this is a part that should not have failed.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact stated that when driving at 45 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle stalled and smoke emitted from under the hood. The vehicle was towed to service center at holman Honda located at 12 East sunrise blvd, fort lauderdale, fl 33304 phone (954) 607-6730. The dealer performed a diagnostic that found that the engine short block fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 36,000.
10/16/2020 I was driving my 2018 Honda Civic lease vehicle with 20,099 miles still under Honda bumper to bumper warranty. Car shut off while driving in the middle of the road without warning and will not start, it was tow in to Honda dealer & as of todays date 1/23/2021 its still sitting at Honda of downtown los angeles can not figured out and has Honda case # 11791655 - un safe defective internal engine possibly and they do not want other consumer's to know
Since shortly after I got my car, brand new, it started to stall a little bit as I went to turn, if I had to stop or slow down beforehand. It got worse as time went on. I told Honda before my first year was up and he told me to just take off eco. I did, but eventually it started doing that without eco. I'm afraid it's gonna do that when I have to turn left onto a busy road and not be able to get out of the way fast enough. Both eco and non eco should work efficiently. The date below is an estimate of when it started. It's been a couple years.
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.
Changed the oil for the second time ~12,300 miles on my 2018 Honda Civic ex hatchback with the cvt and drained 5 quarts of oil/fuel out of the engine. (only holds ~3.7qts. Had a very strong gas smell to the oil. Concerned with diluted oil not lubricating effectively as well as excess oil/fuel in the engine can cause overheating, frothing along with other concerns. This oil was driving all highway miles and during the summer.
My vehicle was in motion on the highway with 68,000 miles, and no signs of any leak or defects before driving home, 2 year old vehicle was abruptly show some warning lights on the dash so pulled over all happened in less than 2 minutes until I could pull over the side, the engine overheated, I maintain all schedule maintenance at dealer and was up to date on services, I believe this was a mechanical failure and not negligence on my part, my extend coverage won't accept my claim for repairs, currently with out car and still paying loan and facing a $9500 repair cost which I believe the extended coverage or Honda dealer inspect the engine for engineering defect in design of cooling of motor, car was never abused or driving negligence and I believe should be repair at no cost to me, portfolio elite protection plan is my extended warranty which is 5year/100,000 mile's coverage, dealer repair center is robertson palmdale Honda. All help well be welcome thank you
