I have a 2015 Honda Civic that I just came back from the dealer with because they warning light for my airbag came on. At the dealership the code was cleared and I was told that it could be a cable reel and then reading the report from the dealership, it states that it could be a faulty airbag I feel this is very unsafe, and told let-??s see what happens. I feel this is unsafe for me to be driving a car with a faulty airbag and possibly a cable that doesn-??t work. My vehicle has 71000 miles and is always maintained.

Transmission failed on the freeway December 2021. I was suddenly unable to speed up or accelerate my car. Placed me, my passengers and other people on the freeway at serious risk. Many cars braked suddenly behind me and swerved out the way to prevent a car accident. Dealer at the service center denied a problem and was inspected by them. No warming lamps or messages.

I was on a trip in my 2015 honda civic and going down the highway and all of a sudden the RPM went way up and then the vehicle lost power completely. It left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. Turns out the CVT belt came apart causing metal fragments to gather on the speed sensor and make it malfunction. This is a common know issue and well documented on online forums. The cause of failure is excessively high hydraulic pressure within the transmission due to a computer programming error. A Honda recall updated the software. Some Civics have an internal component that was not hardened as much as it should have been. Honda believed they identified, by manufacture date, the Civics that did not receive that weak part and therefore left those Civics out of the recall. However, many, many other Civic owners including me have still experienced catastrophic failure of our transmissions. The software update that the Oct. 2015 recall provided took 20 minutes and cost Honda $33.33 in labor. Those of us with failed transmissions are having to pay $5000-$6000. The cars have to be towed to a dealer for diagnosis for even the possibility of having Honda cover the repair. Generally Honda refuses. This is an extreme safety concern if it fails while traveling in traffic and a nightmare to try to replace. Prior to the transmission failure, I had noticed that the fill plug on the transmission had popped off which was weird. I replaced it and it kept popping off. Turns out after looking online that countless other 2014-15 owners have also experienced this problem caused by pressure buildup within the transmission. I recommended that at minimum Honda be required to issue a software update for all 2014-15 Honda civics regardless of whether they have the internal hardened parts! Really hoping something can be done about this to protect future drivers and keep our roads safe. Thank you!!

Hard to steer to the left and car pulls to the right if you let go of steering wheel. Yes it has been reproduced & confirmed by the local dealer, & i was told this case usually happen when car was involved in accident but my car has never had any accident, there is no warning light, i thought it has something to do with alignment, i had it aligned early this year and i was told to have the power steering rack be check.

I was driving in stop and go city traffic and came to a stop at a red light and noticed smoke or steam coming from the hood. Upon pulling away from the light once it turned green, I noticed I had reduced acceleration and pulled over quickly. I have yet to get it in to the Honda dealership but will shortly. Upon roadside inspection from a mechanic, it is confirmed the the cvt transmission plug has come off and the transmission has lost fluid. Additionally, when turning left, the car will jar around and rumble if you turn the steering wheel too much.

The steering wheel on my 2015 Honda Civic is defective. The steering wheel is disintegrating making the hand grip on the wheel unsafe. This issue has been known by Honda Corp for years and they refuse to replace this unsafe steering wheel due to vehicle warranty has expired. However they did not state that the steering wheel is operation is safe. Honda stated they would only replace if the NHTSA directed a recall for replacement. I have seen numerous 9th generation Honda Civic's with this same issue. My grandson's car is a 2013 Civic with the same issue disintegration and gummy sticky steering wheel. Why would this be considered a safe operation of a motor vehicle? a search online will show a number of Civic owners have replaced this model steering wheel at their own cost. I have owned a number of Honda's to include Civic, Pilot, Acura TL, Accord and I have never had this problem before. It should be a recall issue for all 9th generation Honda Civic's, especially with young people purchasing this affordable car.

I went out to move my car in the driveway this morning and was shocked that my power steering had suddenly failed out of nowhere while backing up. The car was extremely hard to maneuver in the driveway (certainly can't drive it anywhere), and the power steering warning appeared on the dash. 20 minutes later, it was back to normal, but now I am afraid to drive it.

I bought a brand new 0 miles Honda Civic 2015 on May 2015 ive been having a lot of problems with my suspension motor mounting had been replaces as well as axels... I'm concern about my family and my own safety I'm scared of an accident for a suspension problem since its front suspension... on the dealer they always try to avoid on telling me the cause of this matter... I would like this suspension problem to be investigate... the transmission is another problem most of the time you accelerate and the car doenst go fast and feels like slips on kicks out... I took the car to the dealer but like always they said they don't find the problem... the worst that the dealer always request me to go on a drive test with the mechanic that's not part of my job they should have qualified workers

Ever since I bought this car, the steering has been driving me crazy!! I cannot keep this vehicle straight while driving on the freeway. I thought it was because of the original cheap tires that came with the vehicle. I am on my 3rd set of tires and 3 alignments from the dealership with no fix!!! no matter what I do.... the car swerves all over the road. Especially when going highway speeds. Contacted Honda corporate and they basically said they can't do anything. Dear Honda...U are putting my life at risk with this 2015 Honda Civic. I am terrified to drive on the highway due to the instability of this car. It's seriously mentally​ and physically taxing to keep this vehicle from veering all over the road. I am not kidding when I say this...if I was driving behind my Civic...I would think the driver was drunk. Absolutely​ the most un planted vehicle I have ever driven. I am begging you Honda...please address the wandering steering in my 2015 Civic!!! it is dangerous!!!!

Around 8500 miles while drive 35 mph the car suddenly veered to the right hitting the curb causing $1200 plus damages to the wheel, etc. Around 12,250 miles while driving 45-50 mph the car suddenly veered to the right and ran off the road causing a broken back and $725 in damage to the wheel skirts. This happened 5/13/16. Subsequently this happened two more times around 40-45 mph but with no accidents as no cars were in the right lane. Reported to american Honda and the case was dismissed as they can't identify any problems. The steering wheel wobbles but not codes show up.

My daughter (17 years old) was driving at 35 miles in leona valley ca on last Friday 2015 her Honda Civic (7,000 miles on odometer). Her car low-pressure air light came on and then car started to swerve violently left to right. Within few minutes the car brakes stopped functioning (according to her, it felt she was pushing on air when she pressed the brake paddle) and then the steering wheel locked. The car ended up on its side and caught fire. It started a brush fire (25 acres) here in ca. When my daughter and her two friends tried to get out the door, the other door won't open. They had to jump out of the sun roof. The question I have is what caused the fire and why did the car's brakes and steering wheel locked" what do I need to do to find out what needs to happen in order to get to the bottom of root cause of the accident"

While traveling at slow speeds in city driving, the car tends to lurch forward. Concerned about takata airbag- before I bought vehicle asked if one was installed and/ or airbag manufacturer. Could not get an answer and was told to buy a 2015 "just to be safe". in light of the 2015 VW takata airbag that just ruptured I would like advice on what to do as I bought the car. It is hard to believe that takata would be allowed to continue putting airbags in without knowing the cause.
