Takata recall i had an air bag recall back in 2016. I noticed the electrical system of the car is always giving me problems. For example the light inside in the middle of the vehicle works whenever it feels like working. Second the passenger side of the window motor i already changed it 3 times and it's still giving me trouble. I already spent too much money i gave up on trying to fix it. Also i already lost count…

Like i keep reading...i've had to replace my brakes on my civic multiple times too. This is my first honda, but i have had vw, toyota/scion and i never had an issue like this with my brakes, so i know it is not due to my driving abilities. If i knew about the additional brake expense that i would incur, i would have not purchased a honda product.

I bought my honda civic brand new in 2010 and i had to change both front and rear brakes three times already, and now i need to change my front disc and brakes again! I also have machine turned the rotors once and now i have to replace the front rotors because recently on highway driving, when i need to use my brakes, the car wobbles and shakes.

If you apply your brakes harder than gentle, the brakes will feel like they are skipping. You almost need to stop apply the brakes before it goes away. I've owned a honda accord 1993 for over 20 yrs and never experienced this. If i knew what i know today, i would have never bought another honda!

I have had many automobiles over my almost 60 years of driving. I do not remember having brakes replaced at less then 35,000 miles of use, & have gone as much as 60,000 before needing replacement. My current honda civic 2010 now needs brakes at 16, 000 miles something is radically wrong with my car as manufactured to make this early replacement necessary.

The breaks were changed in the front at about 30,000 miles and the car now has 65,000. A day after the breaks were changed, at a dealership, they began to squeal very load. I have taken the car back 4 times to complain about the noise. Each time they told me that they sanded the breaks lightly and put stop squeak on. Not more than a few days after each incident the problem continued. The breaks tend to make this ear…

Brakes need to changed around 10 k miles each time. Dealership said there is no issue on the brakes and couldn't tell me why i need too change it so often. Per other civic users, there may be something that made the brake wear so quickly. There is no reason why the brakes so wear quickly. I believe it should be recall.

Every 9,000 to 10,000 miles rear brake pads worn out prematurely causing rotors to lock up without warning. I believe this issue occurred on almost all 2010 honda civic. In normal driving condition brake pads should last at least 30,000 miles in compare to other major car manufactures. Please investigate this with honda and find a remedy for the fix. *tr

Today, 9/24/2014, i had to replace my front brakes for the second time and the car has only 46,147 miles on it. My wife and i drive the car very carefully and we don't live in a mountain area. First time we changed the brakes was at 10,000 miles. I chose honda civic because of previous hondas i had, and none of the previous honda had brakes issues like our 2010 civic. I had a 2008 civic which i leased at that time,…

Vehicle has grinding noise. Brought to honda (norm reeves honda/huntington beach) dealership. Found that left front sensor broke off . Issue: why would a brake pad early warning device (sensor break off). Left side broke completely, the right side was half broke. Is this a safety issue? My daughter was driving this vehicle and there was no indication that brakes are compromised. It also caused extra cost by causing…

Here we are again after 6 months with another couple hundred dollars in brakes. Have spend over 1800 dollars on pads, rotors and calipers. Car still wearing out brakes in under 10k. This issue needs to be addressed. Countless folks have had the same issue with this model year. Something is not right in the brake design or materials. *tr

Since purchasing my civic in 2013, i have had to replace the front brakes twice, once in january, 2014 and again in february 2016. The brakes began grinding and slowly stopped working over a very short amount of time. This vehicle is not driven in stop-and-go traffic very much, mostly highway travel and so twice in 3 years is at least once too much and if you figure that is it only 6 years old, even twice is too…

As a precaution, had brakes inspected 6 months ago when car had approximately 50,000 miles on odometer. Expecting some pad wear at this mileage but there was no indication of a problem. My very trusted mechanic saw no problems with the pads and sent me on my way. On next oil change 6 months later, same mechanic says that my pads have completely worn out and caused damage to the rotors - a $650 repair on both front…

The local dealership refused to look at this safety defect without a $105 diagnostic fee, which i cannot…

The brakes have completely worn out at less than 40,000 miles. I noticed a problem, and brought it in to be checked and they told me that not only that i need new pads but i need new rotors as well. There is no reason that these components wore out this fast, especially the rotors. *tr
