   The rearview camera automatically projects onto the center display when applying the brake. On the morning of 2/16, the center display was showing the rearview camera view my entire morning commute to work. It is likely an electrical issue (short). This impacts my safety because if I need to access anything on my main display I cannot do it if the car is automatically displaying the rearview camera view. This is very distracting while driving and if others are dealing with a…

   I was driving on a very busy road and the car completely died and would not go into park. It was like the battery was not even there. The steering wheel locked up, hazards would not come on and all the doors locked and would not unlock. There was no power to the car whatsoever. The drivers side door had to be pried open from the outside so I could get out of the car. We had the battery tested and is tested completely fine. The car has done this three times now.

Since then, I took it in on May 2025 - they said since the car does it intermittently, they cannot fix it. Well, I just took the car…

   On six different occasions beginning at the end of June 2024, my daughter has been driving to work in above 100 degree temps, sometimes 110+, and her a/c stops blowing. She has stopped the vehicle to turn off the ignition and restart, but it does not work. Her commute to work then becomes extremely unsafe in the AZ heat and she has been completely soaked with sweat and dizzy upon arrival until she can get hydrated. I am deeply concerned and have an appointment with Honda…

It makes it hard to turn and it's dangerous when driving on freeway. I almost got into an accident on the freeway because the car in the front change lane last minute without signalling, and at the time my stiff steering acting up and cause the delay of turning.

    I recently purchased a 22' civic EX used less then a week ago and noticed the steering wheel acting almost as if its sticking/catching when driving 45-50mph+ and doesnt want to correct unless you pull/yank to get out of turn. Ive also noticed having to make many small corrections while driving even in a straight line like it wants to veer due to the constant jerkiness almost like an alignment issue but tighter. It is a safety concern especially with how hard it can be to…
