ABS check light, VSA check light, Power Steering light comes on. They come on everytime the car is started. Sometimes it is immediately. Sometimes it is delayed. The lights come in that order. My car diagnostic scanning tool says ABS will fail at 30 mph. I lack the funds to get car looked at.
The electric power steering pump is failing while driving my vehicle. When driving the vehicle, if I make a turn any way, than my vehicle shuts off and locks up completely causing me to not be able to go or move without turning the vehicle off and on quickly to get out of the way. It has caused me to almost get rear ended as well. I have spoke to mechanics at multiple shops and even Spoke to honda world about it; who advised me to take the steps of looking into a recall or submitting an incident report to make a claim.
I was driving normal on a busy street (with gas in my tank) and suddenly my car airbag lights appeared on the screen and kept flashing. Then all of a sudden my ABS emergency break lights showed up on the screen and everything in my car started flashing and automatically took over. The car wouldn't break even when I was pressing on the break, it kept moving even when the electrical system took over! my car shut down in the middle of the busy street by itself. The emergerncy break lights also didnt turned off! it was a very scary moment because, I was able to do anything with the car locked and shut off. Right now I had to get aaa to tow it to a mechanic because, nothing is turning on. Please let me know if this is an manufacturing issue or not?!
Two lights on my dash came on, one light is for electronic power steering and the other is for vehicle stability assist. These lights came on randomly while driving at less than 15 miles per hour pulling away from a curb. As a result, my power steering became heavy, although it still functions. Vehicle stability control is no longer usable. Further inspection from a code reader shows that these lights came on as a result of a ground to body short.

My 2013 Honda Civic has 43,000 miles and the starter is already breaking. I read that the 2013 Accord was recalled for the starter but not the Civic. According to the Honda dealership the same starters were used in both cars, but the Civic was not recalled. The passenger airbag is defective as well, but Honda told me there is an extended warranty to replace them. However, they say I am responsible so replacing the starter.
The vsa stay on and my power steer turn on and off sometimes it's hard to turn I hard to pull over the freeway to shut the car off and then on in order to retain my power steering, my traction control doesn't work wich am guessing it's related with the vsa and my airbag light turns on my dash then turns off am a little terrified I might loose complete control off my car and my airbag will go off or not even pop off incase of an accident or I might cause an accident if I keep loosening my power steering (electronical power steering)
Vehicle was stationary after warming up my car I receive the following error messages: Check power steering system and check vsa system. I checked the internet and noticed that other owners had similar error messages. I don't think this random, a recall should happen to find our the cause of the problem. See attached testimonials
Honda Civic 2013 was in a front end collision where the car was totaled. Airbags never deployed. Accident was on the highway in motion. Driver or passenger airbags never deployed. Mileage is estimated.
There is no problem with my vehicle. I want to complain about the led lights on multiple other vehicles on the road. They are blinding, very distracting, and should be illegal. Something needs to be done. The date entered below is the most recent occurrence, but it happens regularly - almost daily.
Interior light's on the whole dash board flash while in motion driving, stopped at stop sign's or red light, stopped to make a turn and paint around windshield is peeling
Tacata recall I purchased the 1st and probably only new car that I will ever own. I went with Honda because I thought that they would be very reliable. Imagine my dismay when I.get notice re:auto air bag malfunction. I am now scared to Transport my grandson. I am scared for my own safety. Please consider the fact that I am now stuck with my defective auto, for the rest of my life. No comfort in taking my family anywhere.
Takata recall. The check airbag light is on. When I entered my VIN number, it says my vehicle is not part of the recall. However, my check airbag light is on which makes me think there is a defect.
Aloha, bought this Honda Civic, hybrid in 2013 brand new and love it overall. Had an issue when adjusting the inside mirror that it actually came off in my hand while I was drying !..... I didn't feel that I was that forceful in adjusting the mirror so was very surprised to see it pop off like that, and also very dangerous while on the highway in doing so. Had to pull over to the side of the road, and was able to pop the ball joint thingy back into place. Hmm...... I've never had a car do that before !!....... very dangerous and should be looked into. We had called the main Honda dealership on mainland, reported it, and have a case number on it, as well as taking the car to the hilo, Hawaii Honda dealership where we bought the car and reporting the issue ! thanks.
It was fine when I parked it in the garage the night before but the next morning none of the following were working and the dealer has no idea what's wrong (they want to try replacing whole console for $700 and if/when that doesn't work try replacing something else for $$$): - dash (and gear shift, etc.) doesn't light up when driving at night - windshield defoggers - speedometer (reads "0" whether in motion or stopped) - odometer - warning indicators (overheat, tire pressure, etc. Except "brake" which still works, and the little gas icon on the left continuously blinks whether full tank or not) - gas gauge - gas mileage - tachometer (a physical meter) - air conditioner - oil life left - cruise control - "econ" mode button doesn't work - not sure if air bags work - I may find out someday - radio works/displays fine I am not sure of the exact date when this happened, but it was sometime in August 2017.
The air conditioner motor and resistor in my car have been replaced 5 times now. Every four months, the air conditioner makes sounds, fluctuates in power, and then finally stops working altogther. The lights on the dash still work, but the air stops blowing. Once motor and resistor are replaced, it works fine again - but only for a few months. All new parts have been ordered directly through Honda. The defroster and heat will not work either when this part goes bad, which is dangerous if driving in the rain or in the cold.
Takata recall!!?! airbag indicator issues starting at 45 mi. Check airbag warning is now on always. It's taken over my lcd display screen completely making it useless I.e. maintenance info, mileage, handsfree equip. Options. Everything (aside from back up camera, still functioning while in reverse) airbag warning light indicator has disable all components on steering wheel I.e. horn, cruise control, volume ect.. still no recall? I'm scared for my families safety! do something Honda. Someone needs to make Honda address these issues asap!
