| Feb 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I received a notice from Honda dated "February 2024." The notice states that "the fuel pump module may have an improperly molded impeller. Over time the impeller can deform and cause the fuel pump to become inoperable . . . an inoperable fuel pump could prevent an engine from starting, cause a vehicle to lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." Honda acknowledges the fact that there COULD be an issue with certain of their vehicles, but later states that "[t]he replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle are not currently available but are expected to become available in the fall of 2024." Knowing that Honda wants me to drive a possibly defective vehicle for at least 6 more months while KNOWINGLY allowing me to do so with the "increas[ed] . . . risk of a crash or injury," is extremely concerning. I contacted American Honda Motor Co., Inc. customer service and the representative informed me that she has "made a case" for me and that, "if anything happens, just bring it to a dealer." She could not provide me adequate answers to my follow-up questions. Specifically, I am concerned that, if it does happen, why bring it to a dealer? Honda has explicitly stated in their recall notice that the "parts needed to repair [my] vehicle are not currently available." Additionally, suppose, as Honda cautions, the "risk of a crash or injury" occurs and I do not have the opportunity to make it to a dealership? I, any passengers, or any other driver on the road, Honda operator or not, could become deceased as a result of an "inoperable fuel pump." I also drive a Kia Stinger and, as your agency might be aware, this issue was front and center with Kia a few months ago. Unfortunately, my Stinger fell victim and thankfully, I was in my driveway when it occurred. I am not comfortable driving this 2019 Honda Civic given this information and my past experience. This behavior and "notice" from Honda is evidence of their negligence. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2024 | STEERING | Over the past month or so, I've noticed the steering started to feel "off," a bit sticky in the sense that it was a little jerky to maneuver even within the same lane or when making a slight turn of the wheel, like coming off a highway ramp. The car was taken to be checked and it was found to have an issue with the rack & pinion. A warranty inspector confirmed it qualifies for the rack & pinion replacement, so as of today (January 22, 2024), my car is in the dealership waiting for the part, which is on critical back order with an unknown ETA. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Received notification through my Honda link app that there is recall on my 2019" Honda civic hatchback. Honda Fuel pump motor recall expansion stop sale " Information provided states the danger of this recall.. risk of crash or injury. I contacted my local Honda dealership on 1/10/2024. I actually purchased this vehicle new there in 2019. I was told no Solution has been decided yet. I mentioned the seriousness of the information provided about the recall. All she could say is that she would make a notation that I called & I would receive updated information about this recall when it becomes available. Scary!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | TIRES | In April 2021, I hit went over a large pothole that caused me to get an immediate flat tire on my driver's left front tire (the TPMS system alerted me of low tire pressure). I had the tire replaced. Had no issues until 9/2021 when my TPMS system alerted me that my tire pressure was low. Front left tire was at 26, had problem diagnosed at same tire repair place and they sealed my rim on driver's front left tire. Did not have any more issues until 2022 (unsure of date) but frequently my TPMS system light comes on indicating low tire pressure. I always check tire pressure with gauge at home and my tires are never lower than 29 when I check (front two are supposed to be at 32 and back two are supposed to be at 33). I also live in a warm climate year round. In 2023, my TPMS system alerts me of low tire pressure approximately every 2-3 months when my tires in fact do not have low tire pressure. In the month of December, every time I turn my car on, my TPMS system alerts me of low tire pressure, but they are all normal. I always recalibrate the TPMS system when I get that system alert, but it does not seem to help. My car currently has 30,000 miles and no accidents. I am concerned for the safety of this vehicle in regards to when I may actually have low tire pressure, but because of these frequent and unreliable TPMS alerts I get, I may not recognize if it the tire were actually low while driving. I get my car inspected routinely every 6-8 months when I got my oil changed by the Honda dealership and they have not reported any issues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | On multiple occasions, at least 10, my automatic braking detector system has engaged when no other cars were in front of me or around me on the road. It has happened while driving in the city at slow speeds, on the highway at 70-80mph, and most recently while going up ramp to merge onto interstate. The automatic brakes will engage causing my car to slightly brake and I then have to accelerate, especially while on the interstate, to keep the car moving or else it could just stop in the middle of the road with a potential to cause a deadly accident. My cruise control no longer works either. I wonder if these issues are synonymous? My safety and the safety of others is definitely at risk with my car randomly braking with no cars in front of me or next to me. The vehicle routinely gets inspected at my Honda dealership every 6-8 months when I get my oil changed and they have not reported any issues. There have been no warnings on the car prior to these incidents happening. This car has no accidents and currently has 30,000 miles. I would estimate the car had about 28,000 miles when the last incident happened while going up the interstate ramp. The braking system malfunction started at the beginning of 2023 from my knowledge. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I called on the dealer to do the repair but the dealer don’t have the part, I asked to pay from my pocket to try to move forward but they still saying that is not available repair/parts and they don’t know when it will be available, the way that I use the car requires the car with all recalls updated, the dealer I contacted was in westford in Massachusetts If the recall is not related to something safe, I just would like a letter saying that I can keep using the car while I wait for the part, and as I said, if I need to pay for that, I’ll pay, but I have to bring the car back to work | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2024 | STEERING | Vehicle exhibits difficulty when applying steering input at highway speeds. Even when Lane Keep Assist, and other Honda Sensing features are disabled, the vehicle's steering wheel doesn't automatically center itself, and instead will maintain steering angle through corners. It also has a sticky or notchy feeling when driving straight on a straight highway. When this is occurring, fine steering inputs are hard to make, and keeping the vehicle centered in the lane becomes difficult. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Vehicle fails to start randomly in the morning Everything powers up and the screen lights up, but the car doesn't power up fully Maybe fuel pump issue | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the center console power independently disconnected. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring since June 2019. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer three times previously and the failure was diagnosed. The computer system and the center console were replaced. The contact was also advised not to connect the cellphone to the center console. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that the failure was unresolvable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,475. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,475 |
| Dec 2023 | STEERING | I just purchased my used 2019 Honda Civic LX a few weeks ago. Online forums warned me of a "sticking" steering wheel and I've noticed they're right. It occurs most often (or is most noticeable) when traveling straight at highway speeds. It seems that the steering wheel "sticks" when no turning input is given for a short time. Eventually, when a steering correction to the left or right is needed by the driver, it is met with a wheel that doesn't want to turn and requires a little extra effort to move the steering wheel off center. The result of the sticking causes the car to over-respond slightly to the left or right input and needs to be re-corrected. This appears to be a known issue for the 10th generation (2016-2021) Civics according to online user forums. I could see where a vehicle having a more severe case of this than my vehicle could pose a serious safety concern. My wife noticed it and it took her by surprise. Recently I saw a similar issue getting attention for the 11th generation (2022-present) Civics and wanted to report mine as having similar symptoms, but in the previous generation body style.

| Dec 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The fuel pump gave out . The Honda dealership tried to fix the car multiple times ande fuel pump they fixed is steal leaking fuel. I was in the street driving home and the car auto stalled on me. I spent almost 2 grand to get it fixed and the dealership charged me and it got worse. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2023 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 30,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND MY A/C COMPRESSOR IS ON-OP, THEREFORE I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD AND KEEP THE FOG OFF IT IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZZARD. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I was driving on a relatively hot day around 85F and the car AC was working fine but in the course of 30 min the ac started blowing hot air on my face while I was driving on freeway. The temperature was set to 69F but it still kept blowing hot air. After a while it started giving me a headache and I had to turn it off. I got it checked by Honda dealership and there is an Evaporator leak in the car confirming why I got a headache. This is a safety risk to the passengers of the vehicle as high concentrations of the ac refrigerant can leak in the car potential poisoning or making the driver loose consciousness and loose control of the car causing an accident. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership as there is an extended warranty for the condenser due to the high pressures of the newer refrigerant causing holes in condenser and evaporator but there is NO extended warranty for the evaporator which poses a greater risk to the drivers than the condenser since the part is inside of the cabin. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while using the ignition key, the vehicle would not immediately start. Eventually the failure progressed, and the vehicle was not able to be started. The battery was replaced and the next day the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 29,000 |
| Oct 2023 | POWER TRAIN | 2019 Honda Civic Si (1.5L turbo engine with 6-speed manual transmission) purchased in September 2019 at CPO with 7,000 miles — current mileage 26,638. Honda factory CPO powertrain warranty valid until 11 June 2026 or 100K miles. If the vehicle is parked in gear (either 1st or Rerverse) without applying parking brake on even the slightest grade (uphill or downhill), the vehicle will slowly creep — on a couple of occurrences, the vehicle moved more than 6 feet. This has happened on multiple occasions as I do not always remember to manually apply the parking brake. Once while waiting for a friend to pick up a prescription at a pharmacy, I actually witnessed a "ratchet" effect movement of the vehicle in the parking lot while sitting in the driver's seat. I took the vehicle to Mohawk Honda (Scotia NY) for assessment. My answer was to always set parking brake as documented in owner manual — interestingly, it states the same for vehicles with CVT (automatic) transmissions as opposed to simply putting them in Park. I have owned literally dozens of manual transmission vehicles since 1981, and I have never before experienced this. Service manager (via phone) later blamed low compression engine as incapable of holding vehicle when in gear. Call to Honda Customer Service at the time referred me back to a dealer. I decided to pursue this once again after reading of another manufacturer's recall of a car that would not hold in place while parked. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2023 | AIR BAGS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving down the highway near where I live in Hanford California the highway is 198. I was going 68, 69 mph. No one was on the road my car literally slammed on its brakes and jerked to the right.this has happened 2times I have turned off the assist I’m to afraid it will happen again. I am bringing it into the dealership tomorrow and also have them check my airbags the light in the dashboard intermittently keeps coming on then after a bit it will turn off. The first time I brought it in for the airbag lights coming on they informed me that it was due to me pulling the seat back to far I am 5 foot four. I don’t normally pull the seat back. It would be more closer to the steering wheel for me, but there was a problem supposedly with the connection that is under the seat it doesn’t make me feel too safe to think that me moving. My seat is going to prevent my airbags from deploying God for bid if I get into an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
