Front seat ergonomics are bad! curves your back forward and head down. The headrest is tilted too far forward and down. It has ruined my back. Visibility front and back is minimal. Can't see hood or car corners. Distance to objects, other cars etc. Is a guessing game. When foot is resting on brake and you step on gas, engine drops to idle. Dealer says this is a safety feature. It's dangerous!!!!!

When turning the steering wheel right and left, there is a loud clanking noise. It happens 95% of the time. The dealer told me it was the power steering fluid (even though there is no power steering fluid as the 2012 model has an electronic system). The noise has continued and gets worse. They told me other models had a recall on the driveshaft which may be the issue but they cant do anything unless I pay out of pocket because my car was not under the recall.

A/C condenser damaged by a rock, according to Honda dealer, on my 2012 Civic.my A/C blows warm heat, and the summer has just started! I've only had the car about 7 months. (bout used at 30K miles). Not covered under extended warranty. Insurance charges deductible, so no luck going that route for me. Honda quoted me a repair at $630 + tax. Will find it cheaper and just deal with, while still complaining for reimbursement or acknowledgement from Honda that they got this wrong on several cars.

I was traveling on I-65 North at approx. 5:00 pm, there was no traffic around me at the time of the incident. Suddenly the driver-side glass exploded. To my knowledge nothing hit it, the glass just suddenly and literally exploded. Glass filled the car as well as hitting me. There are no other marks on the outside of the car that would explain something hitting the glass.

The sunlight reflection from the dashboard to the windshield makes some daylight driving difficult to see and reduce visibility.
