Honda Civic power windows problems

Filed Nov 24, 2024 · Electrical, Visibility · VA

I purchased my 2024 Honda Civic Sedan Touring just over six months ago and have been dealing with an ongoing issue with the front driver-side window that remains unresolved despite multiple repair attempts. The first problem occurred when the car had only around 2,500 miles on it. The window began getting stuck while opening or closing, making it difficult or impossible to operate properly. I brought the car to the dealership, where they diagnosed the issue as a faulty window regulator. They replaced the part, assuring me that the problem was resolved. However, less than a week later, the same issue occurred again. This time, the front passenger-side window also malfunctioned on one occasion, displaying similar symptoms. I returned to the dealership, and the service team initially suggested swapping parts from a new Civic on the lot to troubleshoot the issue. Ultimately, they decided to replace the left front driver window switch instead, claiming the problem was caused by erroneous operation/"overuse." This explanation seemed implausible, as the vehicle was only a few months old, had been driven minimally, and the windows were operated under normal conditions. Unfortunately, just days after this second repair, the driver-side window failed again, marking the third time this issue has occurred. The car now has approximately 2,950 miles on it, and I have not yet returned to the dealership, as I am frustrated by the repeated failures and the lack of a permanent solution. During previous visits, the service department mentioned that the foreman would need to inspect the vehicle, but this is concerning because the car has already spent 13 days at the dealership over the last 24 days for this recurring problem. The persistent failure of the driver-side window, coupled with the passenger-side window showing similar symptoms, raises concerns about a potential defect in the vehicle’s window system or its associated components.

Honda reported a safety recall on this vehicle. Our situation is that the vehicle has been in our garage (in Texas) waiting for my grandson (who was on deployment) to return home and has not been driven. I called the local dealership only to be told that Parts are not available, I proceeded to call Honda and was told the parts were limited (so therefore there are parts available) for those that have experienced a problem. With the recall issue and the Safety Risk involved, I believe that Honda should make diagnostics available to the owners of this model. The issue is a manufacturing problem occurring in production, and it is not a window motor issue or a door/hatch back door problem, this is mechanical and as stated on your website, this has a POTENTIAL INCREASE IN THE RISK OF A CRASH OR INJURY. My grandson will be driving back from Texas to Yuma Arizona (1341 miles/19-hour drive) through a lot of baron highway. I am fearing that something could happen on his journey and could have been avoided if the vehicle was allowed to be diagnosed. I have contacted Honda and Dealership with not empathy from either one. I wish to file this complaint as a precaution if anything were to happen.

I purchased this vehicle 6 months ago from a dealer. In the short time I have had the car, there have been multiple issues presented. Bluetooth has been malfunctioning (connects the disconnects), window regulator has had to be replaced three times now (window kept disconnecting from the track and would cause the window to go down sideways and get stuck), more recently the AC condenser went out (it was reported as the condenser has small pieces of metal inside preventing the freon to get into the system and cool the inside of the vehicle).

Bought my 2020 Honda Civic si at 48 k miles. Noticed mild clutch slip and vibration on the shift knob. Dealership states I don't know how to drive manual transmission. I've driven manual transmission for 18 years. I'm not stupid. Dealership states it's wear and tear and not part of the warranty. My window motor auto feature does not work. Bluetooth connectivity issues. Collision braking system activated with no vehicle in front of me while I was going 40 miles an hour. Could have been rear ended. I'm at 50k miles not a good buy and bad service from the dealership. Mossy Honda lemon grove ca

Driver window won't go up or down and there is a very strong plastic type smell. The smell was so strong that we immediately became dizzy even with the passenger window down & sunroof wide open. We drove less than a mile. It has been over an hour and we are still feeling nauseous, dizzy and weak in the knees. I am afraid to drive it again because I believe we would have passed out if driven further. No check lights came on, no previous indication of a problem.

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.

An electrical burning smell while driving approx 45 MPH turned out to be the master power window regulator and the fuse. I have read several forums online stating the same issues, but no one knows the cause. Very scary.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda civic. The contact stated that the passenger's side front window, rear passenger's side window, and rear driver's side window seized in the open and closed positions on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger's side front window regulator needed to be replaced however, the cause of the failure on the rear windows was inconclusive. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

I have a 2008 honda civic ex and I take really good of my car, the paint on top is fading to the metal, I see this is a problem for a lot of honda civic's. Also I am having major electrical problems, awhile ago my horn randomly stopped working and then 5months later started working again, then my passenger window wont roll up or down half the time, the lights where my stereo is stopped working and now the buttons on the radio or on my steering wheel are working, when I turn my heat/AC up or down it messes with my headlights. I had all the fuses checked and they are just fine. Wondering if anyone else is having electrical problems and if there is a recall!!! I love honda but I am to the point where I want to get a different car and not go with honda.
