2020 I haven't used the car much do to covid-19. Maybe 1000 miles. February 2021 I noticed the cold air conditioning doesn't work properly. Seems that the air only blows. I just discovered today that honda seems to have issues with AC condensers. I sent an email to honda to see if my VIN has the warranty for the condenser. I will inspect it and see if that's what is going on. Car has 40k miles. 2017 sedan ex 2.0l need AC to defog windshield for visibility! And keep me cool so I can operate the vehicle safely! I'm not sure if it failed at some point in 2020. But I just noticed it now during some very hot days. Automatic breaking should have recall. When I drive and someone in front jumps across my lane to get into another lane, the car will slam the brakes after the car in front is already left the lane and it's inside another lane. That's a very delayed response and unnecessary because other cars behind me need to get on the brake hard to avoid hitting me. I try to floor it in situations like this but the system won't let me. The only thing this leaves me to do is disabled the system by holding down the button. But that removes the safety features. Sometimes someone in front of me brakes fast suddenly. I jump to another lane and the system applies the brakes once I already jumped into another lane with nobody in it. However if there is someone behind, then the person honks because the car just slammed on the brakes! I have video proof of this. It's an accident waiting to happen

Car was parked in my garage and the alarm set itself off multiple times, when I approached the car it was unresponsive to any key fob commands and the dashboard was completely lit with flashing safety feature warning lights, and airbags were also disabled. Had to open the car with the manual key, since the car would not respond to the key fob. Started the car to see what was going on, when I went to turn it off again, it refused and wouldn't turn off. I proceeded to call roadside assistance after multiple failed attempts to get the car to respond to the key fob and they turned the car off. Two days later I drove car to the dealership, the whole way there all the warning lights were on and all the safety features were disabled and not working. Dealership refused to cooperate or even acknowledge the issue at hand. Took it two times just to be turned away and told they would not help me out, as they claimed they did not find anything wrong with the car, even though when we went to pick it up the vehicle was still not working. The car was bought new, I'm the original owner, only has 14,600 miles. Dealership manager told us that corporate honda commanded him not to touch the vehicle and to tell us to pick it up. Drove the car back still broken, with all safety features not working, warning lights on, and the alarm continues to set itself off. Had to disconnect battery and it has been sitting in my garage unusable for two weeks now, for it is not safe to drive. Attempted various times to contact corporate honda for help with this issue, yet they refuse to acknowledge what is going on and will not respond. Please help, this car is unsafe and must be recalled. What would it take for honda to own up? It seems safety is not a concern for them. It is a safety concern for the car is controlled by unresponsive electronics.

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

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.

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 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.

My 2017 honda civic hatchback, with 13,015 miles on it, was in my carport and had only been sitting 2 days without being driven when I turned the car on and the car began throwing warnings of all electrical systems having problems. For example the TPMS, electric parking break, brake system, electric power steering, hill start assist and more. And I had no power steering. I had my car towed to surprise honda (big mistake) and they saw that my harness (part number 53682-tsa-a01) was chewed by rodents which caused the problem. Honda says and knows this wiring is made from soy based material which attracts rodents. Honda even has a special spicy tape, which they charge for as well, that they can use to wrap the wiring to deter the rodents (which the service mgr said really doesn't work.) honda says it is not covered under their warranty. They replaced the wiring and it cost me 370.00 dollars. The part itself was only 20.00 dollars. It is 108 degrees outside the rodents are not going into my engine to keep warm!! The soy base wiring is attracting them to do the damage. Honda and their dealership were of no help whatsoever except to make money off a poor choice in their soy base wiring.

My honda civic 2017 car was in my driveway not moving when I turned the car on and all my warning lights came on and I had no power steering. I had my car towed to honda and they saw that my sub wiring harness was chewed which caused the problem. Honda says this wiring is made from soy based material which attracts rodents. They replaced the wiring and it cost me 268.00 dollars. The part itself was only 28.00 dollars. This then happened to me again exactly 2 weeks later with the same problem. I had to have the car towed again. This time I found out there is a fix for this. A spicy tape that honda makes that can be wrapped around the wiring to resist rodents I don't know how effective this is.they said they don't have the tape.. I am currently waiting to see what they are going to do since they know about this problem and my car is in the shop again going on the 2nd day. Ther is a class action suite that was filed for this very same reason. This dates all the way back to 2010 I was told.
