The car stalls when driving in low speeds such as 5-6 mph. The happens at random points and the only clear indication that it will happen is when the car has a sudden jump. The car will run normally but once turned off and turned on after some time and driving it, it stalls completely. No warning light comes on and no codes have been successfully found. I have taken the car to the Honda mechanic about 5 times and in neither of those times have replaced parts fixed the issue. The car is a safety hazard for me and my family.
Vehicle experienced immediate severe engine stalling, power loss, and sudden total engine shut-off while moving in live traffic on the road following the execution of NHTSA Recall Campaign MGJ (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Replacement). The engine stall occurs when mechanical and electrical loads engage, such as the AC compressor or cabin heater at idle and while driving. Diagnostic scan confirms permanent active codes P2187 (System Too Lean at Idle) and P0451 (Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Performance), indicating fuel starvation from the recalled fuel pump assembly under the rear seat. When the engine sputters or shuts off, an immediate electrical warning cascade triggers across multiple safety systems, including Brake Hold System Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem. Authorized dealership (Joyce Honda) and American Honda Corporate (Case # 166-940-04) refuse to perform a zero-cost inspection and remediation without requiring out-of-pocket diagnostic fees, creating an extreme active road hazard. Video evidence of dashboard failure recorded on-road.
The steering wheel feels like it’s catching when I drive high at speeds, above 55. It also clicks and you can hear it when you turn it both ways.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 15 MPH, the vehicle independently accelerated. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle was uncontrollable. The contact's vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. A Police report was filed. The contact later sustained pain in the lower right leg. The contact stated that the dealer did not provide a diagnostic report. In addition, the contact was informed that the vehicle was repaired, and the contact was requested to pick up the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 100,500.
It was diagnosed by my mechanic as needing a new rack and pinion but my situation matches other safety reports made from what I've been reading about. The steering is very notchy, and jerky; especially, when I am steering to the left the wheel pulls and sticks. I have to jerk the wheel back a little bit to get it to go back to the 12:00 position. When I am driving on the highway I have to make little adjustments in order to keep the car where it's supposed to be, and although nothing has happened, thankfully, in terms of an accident, there have been a couple of moments where I really had to jerk the wheel in order to get it to stay in the lane and it was a really dangerous situation. The car has also been making horrible creaking noises that are similar to the other ones I have read about. No warning lights came on or have come on at all.
There is a problem with sticky steering that is a recall with newer models that seems to be the same with the 2019 models as well. However, they have not issued a recall with the 2019. Per searches on the internet, there a quite a few who have experienced this issue with the 2019 model as well. I have multiples of this vehicle in my family and 2 of them are having this issue currently.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 MPH into a parking lot on a hot day, a loud booming sound resembling a gunshot occurred upon depressing the brake pedal. No exterior damage was observed. Upon opening the trunk, the contact discovered plastic debris, screws, and springs from the trunk spring assembly. The dealer was contacted and advised that no recall coverage was available. The dealer stated that the failure might have been caused by hydraulic pressure. The required replacement parts were initially backordered but later became available. The contact found similar complaints regarding the issue and associated the failure with TSB Number: 22-013/A22-013. The manufacturer was notified by phone and filed a case; however, the manufacturer confirmed the repair was not covered under warranty or the TSB. The failure mileage was approximately 63,797.
I own a 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback LX that has experienced ongoing air conditioning system failures. Initially, the A/C would blow cold air at night or in cooler temperatures but struggled to provide adequate cooling during warmer weather. Over time, the problem became progressively worse until the A/C stopped producing cold air altogether. I brought my vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership, where the A/C system was inspected. The dealership identified issues involving components covered under Honda's extended A/C warranty and also diagnosed a leaking evaporator. Although Honda agreed to cover certain components under its warranty extension, the evaporator was excluded, leaving me with an estimated $3,000 repair expense. I also contacted Honda regarding goodwill assistance, but my request was denied. My concern is that multiple components within the same A/C system have experienced failures, and repairing the components covered under Honda's warranty does not fully resolve the problem when the evaporator is also leaking. After researching this issue, I found numerous reports from other Honda Civic owners experiencing similar A/C failures. Some owners have reported that even after having their A/C systems repaired, refrigerant leaks or other A/C failures return within approximately 3–4 years, resulting in repeated repairs and expenses. I am concerned that these repairs may only provide temporary relief rather than addressing the underlying causes of the failures. This creates a frustrating and potentially expensive cycle in which owners repeatedly repair or replace A/C components, only to experience similar problems again years later. I am particularly concerned that Honda has acknowledged problems with certain A/C components through warranty extensions while leaving the evaporator excluded, despite reports of similar failures. The loss of air conditioning significantly affects cabin cooling, especially during high temperatures. I am also concerned about th
SRS airbag failure
Steering wheel feels jerky at high speeds. There is a clicking noise and the steering wheel jerks slightly assess when I turn a hard right.
215/55R16 97H XL MI Defender 2 BW Tire replacement in December 2025. This is the first failure out of three for my car, second failure was a few days from the first. Third failure was on 9/24/2026.

215/55R16 97H XL MI Defender 2 BW Tire replacement in December 2025. This is the second failure for my car, first failure was less than a week ago. Back driver valve stem sheared from the base on 6/29/2026. The tire lost pressure while the vehicle was going 75mph for approx. 30min, TPMS warning showed up as the tire lost pressure. Vehicle vibrated violently after the quick loss of pressure.
215/55R16 97H XL MI Defender 2 BW Tire replacement in December 2025. Valve stem replacement in June 2026 due to pervious similar failure on different wheel. This is the third failure for my car in 3 month. Back driver valve stem sheared from the base on 9/24/26, Noticed after driving on the highway for two hours. The tire lost pressure while the vehicle was going 75mph. TPMS warning showed up as the tire lost pressure. Tire shop claimed no other failure reported to them.
Vehicle: 2019 Honda Civic (1.5L turbo), VIN [XXX] Mileage at failure: ~167,000 Component: Engine — head gasket Description: My 2019 Honda Civic with the 1.5L turbocharged engine suffered a blown head gasket, diagnosed by my Honda dealer. The car was purchased brand new from the same dealership. Symptoms were coolant loss with no visible external leak — coolant was leaking internally into the cylinders, causing misfires. This is a known defect with the 1.5L turbo engine affecting 2016–2021 Civics. Honda issued a warranty extension for this exact failure (10 years / 150,000 miles), which acknowledges the defect, but my vehicle was just over the mileage limit at 167,000 miles. The dealer denied any goodwill assistance. A federal class action lawsuit (XXX v. American Honda Motor Co., Case XXX) has been filed over this same engine defect. Safety concern: Coolant leaking into the cylinders causes engine misfires and can lead to sudden loss of power while driving. An engine misfire or stall at highway speed creates a clear crash risk. This is not normal wear — it is a documented design defect that Honda has attempted to correct with revised parts in later model years. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
There are several defective parts of the AC system that are well-known warranty covered parts that Honda has not replaced. I have taken the car to the dealership for Honda of Vacaville several times stating the issues of bad smells in vents and blowing hot air. They wanted to charge over $4,000 for repairs. I attempted to use my extended warranty and they scheduled me weeks in advance just to tell me the day of the appointment that they don’t have the part. It is an extreme health and safety issue since my [XXX] toddler son and I have had to drive without air conditioner for over 3 months now in over 100 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Children’s bodies cannot handle this heat and I should not have to pocket the costs of a bad AC system that was never fixed in the right time. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
1. Steering gearbox assembly failed. 2. Steering veers in lanes without assistance from driver and driver has to control vehicle with force to stay in center lane and release sticky steering. 3. Problem was reproduced and confirmed by two different independent NAPA certified service centers. 4. By manufacturer Honda dealer 5. No warning lights as the gearbox is mechanical, no warning lights prior or current to notify driver. Driver can only feel the sticky wheel symptoms while driving. At 74,000 miles on a 2019 Honda Civic Sport Sedan. Symptoms occurred driving at high speeds on highway. High safety risk to others and driver. I am filing a complaint due to excessive research on the symptoms of my steering gearbox. I have found that the 2022 and up models have the same symptoms as my 2019 is experiencing with sticky wheel. There needs to be a recall as it is negligent for Honda to not make sure people are safe when driving their cars. Steering is the main and most important component of a car and for Honda to not recognize this issue has been throughout their cars from 2017 due to a manufacturing flaw in the gearbox design. Consumers are paying 4-6000k to replace the gearbox assembly that Honda should have ultimately covered on 2017 models and up. Due to the high price out of pocket consumers are risking lives not getting it fixed because it is not affordable or recalled. Recall should be issued for 2017 civics and above not just 2022 and above. Please advise.
The air conditioner compressor failed on my car at about 85,000 miles. My mechanic told me that they are noticing many 2019-2022 Honda Civics with the exact same problem, with the A/C compressor failing at about the same mileage. My mechanic replaced the compressor with a new Honda compressor. The cost was about $2,700. I've attached the invoice. The failure of the A/C compressor is a threat to safety for the following reasons: Loss of Windshield Defrosting: If the windows fogged up and I could not clear them because the AC failed, this blocks my vision and is a direct safety hazard. Engine Stalling or Serpentine Belt Failure: If the compressor locked up (seized) and broke my car's belt, it could cause me to lose power steering, battery charging, or engine cooling while driving. Extreme Heat Risk: If the AC failed in extreme summer heat (which is exactly what happened to me - it failed in July and I was without A/C for more than 6 weeks in the summer) it would put vulnerable passengers (like children or elderly family members) at risk for their health. Given the testimony of my mechanic that this same failure is happening to many Civic owners (2019-2022) at about the same engine age, I'd like it considered whether a recall is appropriate.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after her daughter had shifted from reverse(R) to drive (D), the front passenger’s side air bag unexpectedly deployed without impact while the contact's boyfriend was in the front passenger’s seat. The failure caused the front driver’s side window to shatter. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact's daughter and her boyfriend both suffered from ringing in the ears, but no medical attention was received. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to call the insurance company for assistance. The insurance company was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered because the failure was caused by a manufacturing defect. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V332000 (Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 175,754.
This recall does not apply to this vehicle.
I was turning into a parking lot when the front passenger side airbag unexpectedly deployed. my entire windshield ended up cracking and my dash cam also broke bc it was on that side of the windshield. The car is still available to be inspected. My concern is that this happened when there was no impact and it could have happened when I was on the freeway and I also had a passenger in the passenger seat when it occurred so it could have severely hurt my passenger. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. It has not been inspected by anybody. There was no warning messages or symptoms prior to this occurring.
While I was driving my 2019 Honda Civic Sport in active traffic, I suddenly lost control of the vehicle. The car starting jerking violently left to reach right and in a circle , causing me to be pulled and swayed across the freeway. The steering wheel became extremely loose and was spinning freely, and I was unable to control the direction the vehicle was traveling. The vehicle eventually swayed and carried me into the right lane gutter lane I was blessed to put the vehicle in park and come to a stop. This was extremely dangerous because I was surrounded by moving traffic and could not steer the vehicle to avoid other cars. I genuinely believed I could be seriously injured or killed. I am extremely fortunate that another vehicle did not strike me and my coworker who was in the passenger seat while my vehicle was moving uncontrollablly. This also happened to me in 2023 and I immediately swayed to right lane. The interaction was quicker because I was able to park into safety fast. Honda said nothing was wrong and never believed me. I can't drive this car. It will cause death.
Honda Civics have a known Air Conditioning issues with an extended 10 year warranty on some parts including the A/C compressor seal and A/C Condenser. Other parts that may fail as a result of these two parts failing are no covered by the extended warranty. The A/C system on my Honda Civic failed in 2025 and additionally again in 2026. In 2025 the compressor was the issue and the system was repaired. Due to strain on the system while parts were failing, the A/C system failed a second time in 2026. The additional parts that may fail as a result to strain on the system while known parts are failing are not covered under Honda’s extended warranty or a recall. In 2026, I was told my compressor had failed. The compressor had failed from being overworked from leaked Freon in the system due to parts that failed that were covered under the warranty. This sort of repair should be covered by Honda and they should be held responsible for parts failing due to the known manufacturing issues. Failed A/C systems and downstream parts can pose safety risks during driving scenarios where windows need to be defogged or during heat waves that occur in warmer climates in the summer. If a part is failing due to strain from a part that has a known failure, it should be included in the warranty or a new recall by Honda.
The vehicle is experiencing an ongoing issue with the steering box. There appears to be a problem with the steering mechanism where a magnet gets stuck while driving, causing the steering to bind and requiring constant left-and-right steering input to keep the vehicle properly aligned. The issue is especially noticeable and concerning at highway speeds, where the steering becomes difficult to control and requires frequent corrections. This appears to be the same recurring steering problem and should be thoroughly inspected and repaired for safety. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because the steering issue causes the vehicle to require constant left-and-right corrections while driving. The problem is especially severe at highway speeds, when the steering can bind or feel as though it is getting stuck, making it difficult to maintain consistent control and stay safely within the lane. This creates a serious risk of losing control, drifting into another lane, or being unable to react quickly to traffic or road conditions, potentially putting myself, passengers, and other drivers at risk.
Binding and sticking in the steering rack Rack and pinion rack needs to be replaced
When driving the vehicle at high speed, the steering wheel feels sticky or stiff.
