I have noticed that my honda civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. You press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). It does this all the time. I noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. It does this while…

The lights on the dash still work, but the air stops blowing. Once motor and resistor are replaced, it works fine again - but only for a few months. All new parts have been ordered directly through honda. The defroster and…

Rodents ate through wiring between alternator and battery. Determined that honda changed to soy based material to coat wiring on all 2012-2015 civic models. The soy based formula becomes heated and attracts the rodents when parked. The problem is pervasive and dangerous since electrical wiring and harnesses to all major engine components are affected.

Tpms indicator light on. Tires inflated at the proper pressure. I have taken this vehicle in to the dealer multiple times for the low tire pressure signal continually coming on even after new tires installed. There is something wrong with the sensor or indicator signal. Nhtsa should not allow it.

All 9th generation civics are equiped with stock under powered horns. Saftey issue, since other cars won't hear it to avoid a collision. Some dealers offer a horn upgrade, but the labor would be costly due to the fact that the bumper cover has to be removed and re installed.

This is my second 2013 civic within a year. My first one had an issue with the imid screen and radio. Basically, this becomes an electrical issue that affects the rest of the vehicle. I also learned that the hard reset that was done to the vehicle could've did more harm than good. The imid would freeze, lag, blackout, the backup camera would stop working occasionally, my phone wouldn't pair occasionally, i couldn't…
