The air conditioning system failed due to recurring evaporator leaks in my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. The evaporator is available for inspection upon request.AC failure causes interior fogging in humid/rainy conditions, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk. In extreme heat (e.g., over 100°F), it leads to driver fatigue, discomfort, distraction, and potential heat-related health issues, endangering occupants and other road users.Yes, confirmed twice: First in 2021 by an Honda service center (evaporator leak at 41,000 miles, repaired for $2,000). Second in early 2026 by a Honda dealer (recurrent evaporator leak at 100,000 miles, repaired for $2,500).Inspected by Honda via Customer Service Case, which was denied. No inspections by police, insurance, or others. No warning lamps or messages. Symptoms included gradually weakening cold air output and unusual odors from vents. First appeared ~2 weeks before full failure in 2021; similar in 2026, starting ~1 month prior. This is a kn

The car stalls upon acceleration while driving. At times it will stall in the middle of the road; skipping repeatedly or simply not accelerating at all. There are often no warning signs at all, though when it skips repeatedly upon acceleration, the engine check light will appear. The car can be available for inspection upon request.

The electric power steering intermittently resists driver input during low-speed maneuvers and near full-lock turns. Steering effort suddenly increases and feels as if assist is being applied against driver input. This behavior matches the failure description in Honda EPS torque sensor magnet recall (2017–2018 Civic / CR-V, campaign C2N / P20). Honda confirmed my VIN is excluded, but the vehicle demonstrates identical safety symptoms. This condition reduces vehicle controllability and presents a crash risk

Have a 2017 Honda Civic and my fob has been having issues for months now. Randomly works for turning my car on not responding to remote ignition or when I walk up to my car, it doesn’t recognize my fob so my door won’t unlock. I have to keep pushing different buttons to make it register or I’ll hit my fob on my palm and kind of jar it and sometimes that will make it work. This is a common problem.

The paint is peeling from my Honda civic hatchback EXL. The color is sonic gray. The paint started to peel off slowly and hasn’t stopped. The side view mirror covers is where I noticed the peeling first. Then under the hood and door handles. Upon further inspection I noticed that rust had developed in the door jambs of the liftgate as well. Other areas that look like will start peeling are the fenders and hood. Dealer has inspected car but won’t address issue because this color hasn’t been recalled. Called Honda and they say the paint warranty has expired and this color hasn’t been recalled.

POWER STEERING (EPS) HAS OCCASIONAL STICKING ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONE HONDA DEALER CONFIRMED BUT NO SERVICE DOCUMENTATION COMPLETED AS VIN NOT ON MANUFACTURER RECALL. HONDA HAS SHOWN ZERO INTEREST NOR CONCERN OF VEHICLES NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR TSB OF STEERING RACK ISSUES. HONDA DEALERS PREFER NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY CUSTOMERS WHO SHOW CONCERN FOR A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE ON STEERING RACK ISSUES, YES, EVEN IN MY CASE EITHER REFUSING TO INSPECT VEHICLE OUTRIGHT OR REFUSING TO DOCUMENT IF A PROBLEM IS FOUND. ADD THIS, BECAUSE VIN IS NOT ON LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES, DEALERS LEAVE IT UP TO AMERICAN HONDA TO HANDLE, WHICH THEY DO NOT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO BRING MY VEHICLE BACK AS DEALERS WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT IN THEIR SERVICE DEPT.

In the middle of last year, at 44K miles, I noticed my steering was "twitchy". It feels like a magnet is sticking and results in constant steering inputs. This issue has gotten worse overtime and I took it to the dealer in September. They said there was a recall for steering malfunction on several Honda vehicles, but not mine. Reading information online, there are lots of complaints and concerns for multiple years and Honda models that EXACTLY match what I am experiencing. Why are some VIN's begin recalled but mine when I have the same symptoms??? This issue is dangerous at highway at speed. I just drove 500 miles this weekend and had to constantly move the wheel left/right, left/right to maintain my lane. It's exhausting, the steering feels heavy, twitchy and does not hold a straight line. Sometimes you can feel it twitch sitting at a stop light. My car is in MINT condition, garage kept, perfectly maintained and never abused. This is not a wear item. A steering rack should

When driving at any speed, there is noticeable jerking in the power steering whenever making minor movements on the steering wheel. Rather than smoothly adjust the direction for the vehicle, this jerking will forcibly redirect the vehicle to move in the direction the steering wheel was turned. This results in the inability to smoothly drive straight and results in unpredictable jerking movements, which is a huge safety issue at high speeds. Similar recalls for this problem have been issued for other years of Honda Civics, but not for the 2017 one.

Experiencing what is described as sticky steering. Driving the car on the highway the steering feels stuck and hard to maneuver, making correction tricky. This is dangerous and mostly occurs when driving on the highway at high speed.

I am experiencing what is described as STICKY STEERING. This has been a consistent problem over the last several months. The ONLY time it sticks is when minute inputs to maintain straight are necessary. There is initial resistance to any input of the steering wheel (from straight ahead center) at the time of correction, and then that resistance breaks, resulting in over correction. Left or Right inputs are identical. This only occurs while attempting to maintain straight. It is not evident while making turns, nor do I feel ANY resistance, or breaking while turning the steering wheel when the car is stationary.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was sticking. The steering wheel was pulling in one direction and jerking, causing the contact to make corrections to center the steering wheel. The contact stated that the failure had become more prevalent at highway speeds. Additionally, the TPMS warning light illuminated after the tires were replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
