2025 Honda Civic Problems

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel felt unstable, causing a loss of vehicle control. The contact stated that the message "Steering Rack Failure" was displayed on two separate occasions. Additionally, the contact stated that the steering wheel was sticking while turning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with a steering failure; however, a comprehensive diagnostic test was not performed. The dealer declined to proceed with the repair. The failure mileage was 48,000.

Steering wheel is binding, pulling and getting stuck when turning left and making clicking noises. Car makes a burning smell when accelerating aggressively. Think the fuel pump is defective.

I am reporting a serious and recurring safety defect involving my 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid. This is the second occurrence of a serious vehicle malfunction, and the vehicle has experienced numerous other significant problems during my ownership. During the most recent incident, I was traveling approximately 45 MPH when the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power. I was unable to accelerate, the vehicle shut off while I was in the middle of the roadway, and the vehicle subsequently went into limp mode. At the same time, the vehicle displayed multiple warning lights and safety-system warnings, which I documented in a video. The ABS system is still not functioning, and the electronic parking brake is also not functioning. Other vehicle safety/driver-assistance features are also unavailable. Before and during this incident, the check-engine light was flashing. The vehicle was also shaking severely and making extremely abnormal engine noises. The check-engine light later became solid, but the vehicle continued to have serious problems. I had the vehicle scanned and received a diagnostic report showing confirmed and permanent diagnostic trouble codes P1659 and P2108. The diagnostic report recommends replacing power relay(s). P1659 concerns the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) control relay, and P2108 concerns Throttle Actuator Control Module performance. I am extremely concerned because this is not simply a check-engine-light issue. The vehicle lost power and shut off while traveling approximately 45 MPH, leaving me unable to accelerate while in traffic. The vehicle then entered limp mode, while critical safety systems, including ABS and the electronic parking brake, remained unavailable. This is the second occurrence of a serious malfunction involving this vehicle. I have also experienced several other significant problems with this vehicle during my ownership, including a substantial water leak that allowed water to enter the vehicle and ca

I was driving with the cruise set at 74mph as a lead car on a highway, overcast day. No vehicles, animals, trees or plastic bags had flown in front of me when the car slammed on the brakes causing the car following me to also slam and switch lanes to avoid rear ending me! Today is the third time I have taken this car back to dealership to look into. The previous two times they told me to shut off the adaptive cruise control which is not a fix! That is a feature I use because most of my driving is highway. Dealership of purchase is also dealership that I have taken care to previously. This event today actually scared me, thank goodness the driver behind me was paying attention.

Happened multiple times in multiple locations during city driving accelerating from a stop or low speed to a higher speed, especially when accelerating from a stop through an intersection at a stoplight. Vehicle surges and “won’t go”. Feels like a giant rubber band in the drive train stretching and recoiling. Eventually after about a half dozen “surges” the vehicle attains enough speed and the problem goes away. Only happens when accelerating from a stop or low speed to a higher speed.

The vehicles rear hatch collects rainwater inside the hatch. Water will remain in the hatch unless it is opened to drain, despite weep holes installed as part of a TSB. The rain water can cause internal fogging of the rear window which cannot be cleared by defrost as it is inside the vehicle. Additionally the retained water may cause mold, rust, and electrical issues to nearby electrical wiring such as the backup camera or brake lights. Honda does not seem to be able to fix the issue.

In icy driving conditions the wiper develop chunks of ice between the blade and the windshield which renders the wiper blade useless at clearing the windshield. They do not sell for a "winter" blade as the wiper fluid emits from the actual blade.

My 2025 civic presents the dangerous defect for sticky steering from the recall already placed on models 2022 to 2025 under recall 24V-744 but my VIN number is not listed so the dealer wants to charge me the full replacement cost . Please help me include my VIN to this well know and dangerous recall. I have kids and I can't drive them in this car with this problem and I don't have the means to pay the cost of replacing the parts of a well know manufacturer defect. PLEASE HELP ME!!

A complaint is being filed regarding a **2025 Honda Civic** involving failure to diagnose and repair a safety-related suspension defect during the warranty period. While under warranty (~20,000 miles), a **clunking noise from the rear suspension** was repeatedly reported to Tamaroff Honda [XXX] ). Despite multiple service visits and complaints to both the dealership and American Honda (Case #XXX and #XXX), no proper diagnosis or repair was performed. After continued inaction, another Honda dealership identified a **broken rear shock absorber with an active fluid leak**, a safety-critical defect affecting vehicle stability and control. This condition existed and was reported during the warranty period but was dismissed. There is also a pattern of complaint mishandling, including lack of follow-up and unresolved case activity. Requests for service records and complaint documentation have not been fulfilled. This complaint requests investigation into the safety risk and failure to diagnose and repair a known defect during warranty.

Warranty work has not been completed and I have had this issue for months.

Reported this to the dealer in June 2025 a month after I bought the car. Dealer checked the car & couldn't find a problem causing this. Problem continues & is getting worse. I believe problem with CVT - vehicle jerks, hesitates and shudders in low speeds upon deceleration and acceleration. Not a smooth ride at all. I had an older Civic with CVT and husband has a 2022 Civic with CVT and never had or have this issue. Will take to the dealer again.

I was driving merging onto the freeway and my sunroof completely shattered, no car was in front of me so, nor was I driving under a bridge, it just completely shattered. Looking as if someone grabbed a hammer or punched it, I know a rock wouldn’t shatter it, maybe crack but no it shattered. The glass looks like it lifted too , not caved in , so almost as if there was too much pressure as well. Have seen similar cases , not sure if any have reported but yes I have seen similar issues occurring. Thankfully I had my headliner closed , so the glass fell on there I had to pull over and figure it out, I did not touch the glass at all, as I’m currently having my Honda Dealership look at it. Just hope it doesn’t happen to others

Steering wheel coating is peeling off on my 2025 Honda Civic, VIN 2HGFE2F51SH537065. This appears to be a manufacturing defect. The dealership did not resolve the issue. Requesting investigation.

i was driving on the highway with lane assist on and i can feel it correcting me even though it wasn’t needing to be but i thought maybe i was driving a little bad but then i contirue to drive with it on and i instantly get jerked to the left like if it saw something and swerved and we spun out and almost went to another highway oncoming traffic , my passenger stated the wheel was shaking the same instant before hand but we crashed and the vehicle is waiting to be looked at currently

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 24V763000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and 24V744000 (Steering) however, the part to do the recall repairs was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while their son was driving approximately 20 MPH attempting to make a left turn when the steering wheel suddenly became difficult to move then immediately released. The vehicle went up on a nearby curve causing the vehicle to side-swipe a nearby object (contact was unsure of the object). There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no injuries, no medical attention was needed. The air bags did not deploy. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was willing to charge for a temporary repair regarding the steering failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. VIN tool confirms parts not available and parts distribution disconnect.

Accident happened while driving on a two-way county road without center lane markings. The driver was leaning to the right of the road. The lane keep assisting overcorrected to the left hitting a culvert. Upon the crash the seat unlocked from its position and slid towards the steering wheel. The seat belt did not lock in time to prevent the seat from considerable forward movement. The airbag located inside steering wheel seemed only partially inflated. No other airbags deployed. The combined malfunctions resulted in the driver's left foot being crushed (various fractures and joints dislodged), and right ankle fracture and dislocation. The driver was the only one involved in the cash. However, other drivers could have been affected by the sudden change of lanes - especially if driving the opposite direction. The issue has not been reproduced as far as known (unable to find any reports, images or videos online). There was no inspection following the accident. The car had previously shown unexplainable lane keeping assistance overcorrections before, but there were no system failure warning lights. The seat sometimes needed readjustment (the locking system would click, but the seat would not remain in place). Summary of issues: -Lane keep assisting - overcorrected leading to hitting a culvert on the opposite side of the road. -Driver's seat unlocked forward toward the steering wheel when car hit the culvert. -Seatbelt did not lock appropriately to prevent seat moving forward toward the steering wheel. I am unsure if the car is still available for inspection. It was totaled by the insurance company.

Continental ProContact RX 235/40 R18 91W DOT 1A3 OFBK7W 25 Honda Civic Touring Hybrid 4 mths old, 2300 miles brand new car On Sun Oct 19 approx 11:30am traveling on I95 N at SC/NC border this Conti tire mounted on LR blew out suddenly causing the 25 Honda to fishtail on the hwy. I gained control of vehicle and safely pulled to the side of I95. Honda Roadside refused to tow the vehicle because local Honda dealers were closed on Sunday. I called AAA and towed to car to local Walmart in Dillon SC who mounted a different brand but correct size tire. I completed my tiip to Arlington VA. The Walmart service manager showed me the tire where the inside sidewall had completely detached from the main tire tread but was in one piece separated from but but still on the rim. Based on this incident these tires are UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ---HONDA SHOULD BE SANCTIONED FOR ALLOWING THEM TO BE INSTALLED ON THEIR NEW CARS

The contact owns a 2025 Honda Civic. The contact purchased the vehicle with a manual transmission and stated that the vehicle came equipped with aluminum clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals. The contact stated that during inclement, wet weather, his foot was constantly slipping off the pedals due to the slick aluminum material on the pedals. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was acknowledged; however, the dealer could not offer any assistance because there were no replacement pedals for the vehicle model. Upon investigation, the contact discovered a private company that made rubber pedals for the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but offered no assistance. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The contact took the customized pedals to the dealer, and the pedals were installed for free. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
