2015 Honda Civic Other / unspecified Problems

The salespeople are very unprofessional and don’t take the wellbeing and safety of their customers or the surrounding public seriously. My husband and I went to Stark to test drive a couple of their cars. The first car that we test drove the Honda Civic should have been properly repaired first before ever being placed on the lot. To even get the parking brake lowered, my husband had to disassemble the plastic manifold, second the car was lowered to the point where it scraped the road whenever we were turning on an incline, finally there was some mechanical issue with the gear shift where we weren’t able to reverse. When we got back from the test drive the salesperson explained to us that they knew of this issue and that there’s a trick to it. This trick wasn’t mentioned to us at the start of the test drive, nor did the salesperson go with us to explain it to us on the road. This is very dangerous, what if there was an emergency and we needed to reverse. Not knowing this trick not only puts our lives in danger but also all the other drivers in the area. I’m not a car person, but even I know that a car should be able to go forwards and backwards.

I was driving and my tires felt as if they were locking while I was driving. As I was driving up a hill my car slowed down and I couldn’t press on the gas pedal. I luckily was able to get it to a safe spot but I wasn’t able to reverse back or drive forward.

TPMS LIGHT WILL NOT RESET IF ALL FOUR TIRES ARE NOT THE SAME BRAND. TIRE PRESSURES HAVE BEEN NORMAL. MULTIPLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH NO AVAIL. THE TMPS SENSOR LIGHT IS ABLE TO BE TEMPORARILY RESET, BUT GOES OFF AGAIN AFTER DRIVING FOR A BRIEF TIME. ONLY WAY TO FIX IT PER TWO SEPARATE HONDA DEALERSHIPS IS TO GET ALL FOUR NEW TIRES. THE SAFETY AND WARNING LIGHT IS ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. IT ALSO MAKES PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE FEEL WEARY OF THE CAR'S SAFETY WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO USE TO TRANSPORT BUSINESS PARTNERS, ETC.

TWO OF MY FOUR MICHELIN PILOT SPORT TIRES HAVE BELT SEPARATION. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF IMPACT DAMAGE (BULGED SIDEWALLS) THE TIRES HAVE UNDER 28K MILES, AND THE REMAINING TREAD I ESTIMATE AT 6/32S. BOTH OF THESE TIRES HAVE SPENT MOST OF THEIR LIFE ON THE REAR OF MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN. BEING ON THE REAR (TO ME) MEANS NO WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION, NO STEERING FORCE, NO ACCELERATION FORCE, AND UNDER 50% OF BRAKING FORCE. THE FRONT TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN NOISE FROM THE REAR, AND I CANNOT PINPOINT THE EXACT START. THE DIAGNOSIS CAME FROM COSTCO TIRE CENTER #0328. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME AND HAD ME TOUCH/FEEL THE DEFECTS WITH MY HANDS. THE DEFECTS ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE TREAD, AND ARE NOT NEAR THE SIDES AT ALL. MY TIRE SIZE IS 215/55R16 I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OR FURTHER ATTACHMENTS. I CAN PROVIDE THE SERIAL NUMBERS IF REQUIRED. THE DATE BELOW REPRESENTS THE DIAGNOSIS DATE. THE ZERO SPEED REPRESENTS AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS WHILE THE CAR WAS ON THE LIFT.

IT WAS RAINING, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND IT WAS AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP, TCS BLINKING ON AND OFF, AND THE TIRES REMAINED PULLING AS IF POWER WAS STILL BEING SENT TO THE FRONT TWO, LOCKED UP, TIRES AND I HAD NO CONTROL AS THE CAR PULLED ME STRAIGHT FORWARD INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE RESULTING IN A COLLISION THAT HAD ME HIT A STOPPED CAR SO HARD IT SPUN THE OTHER CAR AROUND AND TOTALED MY CAR. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 500 FEET OF WHERE I INITIALLY PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD I WAS TRAVELING ON WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO MALFUNCTION TO THE ROAD WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO TO AVOID THE CRASH AND COULD NOT MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AT ALL.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD IT ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS. MY ISSUES STARTED WITH MY BATTERY FAILING TWICE WITHIN A YEAR OF EACH OTHER. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES WITH NEW ONES ONLY A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE SO WORN DOWN AS IF THEY WERE NOT NEW TO BEGIN WITH. THEN I HAD A SYSTEM FAILURE THAT REQUIRED MY CAR TO BE TAKEN IN TO SERVICE FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THEN MORE RECENTLY I HAD A TRANSMISSION PIECE FAILURE THAT EMPTIED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID TO THE POINT THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR SLOWLY STOPPED MOVING WHICH EVENTUALLY HAD ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A COUPLE HOURS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED. HONESTLY ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES IN MY LIFE. I WAS BY MYSELF ON THE SIDE OF A WOODED AREA WHILE IT WAS GETTING DARK. WHEN I HAD MY CAR NOT START IT WAS IN A STATIONARY POTION. WHEN MY CAR HAD A WEIRD SYSTEM MOLT DOWN I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP I WAS ALSO DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING I WAS ON A MAIN STREET AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AFEW DAYS AGO AND I'M ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE HOLDING.THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW ISSUED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT TODAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND TO EXPECT IT. THAT IS UNEXCEPTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! I'M WAS READING THE 2014 HONDA CIVIC HAS A RECAP FOR THIS PROBLEM.. WHY HAS THE 2015 NOT BEEN RECALLED? IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT I WILL SUE HONDA!!!

THE TPMS KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE ASKED HONDA SINCE 2015 WHEN I PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW CAR TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ASKED 5 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THE SENSOR KEEPS COMING BACK EVERY COUPLE OF MILES. ALL HONDA DOES IS RESET IT AND THAT'S IT. THEY TELL ME ALL I HAVE TO DO IS RESET IT. WHAT IF SOMETHING REALLY IS WRONG WHEN I'M DRIVING? SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN BUT HONDA SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG. I DON'T THINK THAT IS TRUE. I CAN'T EVEN TRAVEL OR TAKE MY CAR ANY WHERE IN THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS BECAUSE THE SENSOR ALWAYS COMES ON. I HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND I DO NOT EVEN TRUST HONDA AND IT'S CARS ANY MORE. WASTE OF MONEY AND DISAPPOINTED FOR MY FIRST CAR. HONDA LIES AND DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON EVERY SO OFTEN FOR NO REASON. I BOUGHT A TIRE PRESSURE CHECKER AND WHEN IT TURNED ON I CHECKED ALL FOUR TIRES PER THE PSI RECOMMENDATION ON THE DOOR PANEL STICKER AND THEY WERE IN THAT RANGE. IT SEEMS TO ME THE SYSTEM IS FAULTY. IT COULD BE A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.
