Since the first day driving less than 10 miles home from the dealership I have had numerous electrical, a C and drive train or wheel problems. The vehicle had been transferred.from a santa barbara ca dealership to a Honda dealership in san luis obispo ca. They called me on a Sunday to say the car was there it was raining and dark. Car had 400+ miles one it and safety check had not been done since it was originally received when is was 0. on the 7th of a 10 mile ride home the whole.entire dashboard first sizzled out like an old computer.monitor going bad then.completely went blank. I could not tell how fast I was going. At that point I had not yet hooked up my phone.to apple.play which is a whole nother software endless.glitch bag of issues. I have had the car for about a year. It popped the hood and almost burned my hands on the hood arm. The digital dash turns black at least 2-3 times a month (no miles.per hour, etc). Every other day my in dash factory screen radio goes black. The car unlocks itself overnight every few days. Most if this increases with frequency when it rains. At least one time a week the car won't unlock by touch even tho I have the key on me. Since day one the climate control will randomly turn on full blast. Since day one right front loud bearing noise near tie rod arm and loud knock/bearing/bump noisr in drive train area; under dash and in and inside doors and sun roof rattle so loud I have to turn up the music not to hear it like parts are loose, at 9 months hot full blast 90+ degree heat comes on when the a C is turned on (stuck.in heat mode) eventually after being turned off will reset itself then work normal. This has happened again 4 tines in the past week. Since day one turn signals get stuck and don't disengage unless forcibly forced. No clear coat on door jams. Hood, trunk and doors have uneven gaps/misaligned.cracked lights

First time speedometer reading 0 while driving. Second time while driving down hwy, all error lights on dash came on, I have 10 or so photos, of the incident, speedometer read 0 going upward of 50 mph, power steering was going in and out and vehicle was very difficult to control. This is a huge issue being in Colorado. Took to dealer and they found nothing freedom Honda co springs, co. Now its the 3rd time a repeat of the second time every indicator error light illuminating, no speedometer, and power steering intermittent again. This is going to cause an accident. I am dropping the vehicle off Friday 9/8/2017 for diagnosis.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. While driving various speeds, the touch screen radio flashed on and off without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (fletcher jones Honda located at 1111 N clark St suite 2, Chicago, il 60610; 312-614-1948), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-999-1009 and stated that they would not assist if the dealer was not able to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110.

I leased my Honda Civic from herb chambers Honda of boston in Nov. 2016. In March 2017 my check engine light came on. When I took my car to the dealership for servicing, they told me that rodents had chewed on the wires under my vehicle. After I did some research on my own, I found out that many other people were having this same issue and my car received damage to the wiring (under my car) due to the soybean coating that Honda is using on the wire covers. I was told that this is not covered by the dealership or warranty. Remind you "this is a lease." My brand- new leased car was completed dead and wouldn't even turn on. I am lucky it didn't die on me while I was driving it. I have read online complaints that this has had to other people with this damage to their vehicles. I was quoted $2,600 in repairs. I ended up paying a $500 deductible to my insurance company. There are class action law suits in place in ca and other states regarding the "soy-based wire covering." This is a serious safety issue and a recall needs to be made by Honda.

The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. Updated 08/23/17

Just picked up brand new car from dealership (sunset Honda I. san luis obispo ca) transferred by them from another dealership. Car is an ex and has previously test driven a 2017 Civic hatchback sport the day before. Drove off with my mew car that was given to me with 450miles. Right after I left dealership with my brand new car and was driving home for first time got about 6 miles from dealership and dashboard lights with digital speedometer displayed flashed and went dead (completely blank a.K.a. black screen of earth). I was driving approx. 30-35 mph. Drove another's another mile (approx) with no digital speed display at all- completely black instrument cluster (main display which normally shows digital miles per hour, temp gauge, etc) and turned on right hand signal to make right turn and about five seconds later right side camera turned on media display to right and eventually digital dashboard speedometer behind the steering wheel turned back on. Everything on the car is computer controlled. This is really dangerous. Not sure how F car has a bad cpu or ECU. Called dealership immediately as I has just driven away 15 minutes before and they didn't think it was a big deal. I am very concerned.
