New Car Assessment Program
The 2024HONDACIVIC carries 155 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 16 crashes, 1 fire, 15 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2024 CIVIC is steering with 56 filings, followed by unknown or other (24) and forward collision avoidance: automatic emergency braking (10). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 3 investigation files overlapping the 2024 CIVIC. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration. Use the related-complaint feed below to read raw owner narratives before deciding whether any pattern here affects your specific use case.

The cotter pin and washer nuts connecting the brake pedal to the brake booster are completely missing from my vehicle. Unsure if it was even installed when I purchased the vehicle in 2024. Noticed the issue last Friday the 13th of February, 2026. brought it into a dealership Tuesday the 17th of February, 2026. They diagnosed that the pin was completely gone, which if such was the case i am unsure as to how iâve been driving the vehicle normally until Friday, but if its just not there then I have reason to suspect that it was never installed properly in the first place, and through normal wear and tear it finally decided to give? But that still wouldnât explain why its completely missing, and not in the car.
The contact leased a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, and making a lane change, the steering wheel overcorrected the change due to the automatic lane corrector and swerved across two lanes inadvertently, and collided with a semitruck and then into a wall. The air bag deployed, and the driver's seat belt independently unlatched. The contact stated that the seat belt unbuckled at some point during the collision. The contact sustained face burns and lacerations, right arm/shoulder, and right side rib injuries. Medical attention was needed for the contact. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a lot where the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,083.

At speeds 35+ MPH the steering has a âstickyâ ânotchâ feeling making steering at high speed very difficult to do smoothly, especially when cornering. This has led to close-calls nearly resulting in accidents, but fortunately being avoided. I suspect it has to do with the steering rack issue that is a common complaint with this MY.

Iâve taken my car to the dealer multiple times for an issue with steering and a loud clunk in my front end that wasnât there when I bought it. Iâve constantly been told itâs normal or nothing is wrong but itâs becoming a real concern for me to drive Iâve almost been veered into oncoming traffic because the car wanders and steering doesnât react very well. Iâve tried switching wheels and tires and still same issue. I need help because this car is unsafe to drive.

My Honda will randomly beep and slam the brakes but there is nothing in front of me, it has done this multiple times and getting to the point Iâm scared it will cause an accident. When it happened the first time I thought maybe it was because it was slightly raining, but it will do it regardless of the weather conditions. It has happened probably 5+ times, and itâs starting to become more frequent.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH on a rainy day and pulling into driveway at the residence, the steering wheel became very loose and then very firm. The contact stated that the LKAS feature activated and independently steered the vehicle over to the right. The contact attempted to turn the steering wheel to the left, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle made an abnormal sound before sliding like it was on ice and crashed into two other vehicles parked in the driveway which did minor damages to both vehicles. The contact lost consciousness from the impact with the first vehicle for approximately one second. The contact stated that after crashing into the second vehicle, the vehicle temporarily returned to normal operation and the brake pedal was depressed; however, the steering wheel was still firm and unresponsive. The contact stated that no air bags deplo
When using the backseat armrest and cup holders, if you have a hot coffee, to go, from letâs say Starbucks, no matter the size, it will come out of the cup holder in certain turns, when the car is moving. Itâs spilled multiple times on my kids and a friend, who had scalding on their hands. This is very unsafe and the cup holders need to be deeper, they are very shallow, to hold to go cups, even sodas from McDonaldâs will come out of the cup holders when the car is turning at medium speeds around corners, 30 MPH or so.
Numerous defects in my 2024 Honda Civic Sport. I leased this vehicle in January 2024 for 36 months (with a $4,675 down payment and $284.62 monthly payments). From early in the lease, the car has been plagued with serious problems. Below is a chronological list of the issues my vehicle has experienced: Gearbox replacement â Feb 3, 2025 (12,792 miles): The vehicleâs transmission/gearbox failed catastrophically and was replaced under warranty. Axle boots replacement â Feb 19, 2025 (13,384 miles): Soon after, the front axle boots were found to be defective (leaking) and were replaced. Climate control panel failure (moisture damage) â Mar 6, 2025 (13,892 miles): The climate control and infotainment panel stopped functioning due to moisture intrusion and had to be replaced. Refusal to diagnose vibration issue â June 27, 2025 (18,116 miles): I reported a persistent and concerning vibration during driving (which could indicate an unresolved powertrain or suspension issue), but the

I was driving up a hill and all of a sudden, my transmission gave out, and I was rolling backwards on a hill. It was terrifying since the brakes barely worked as well. I was rolling down the hill and almost crashed, it was emotionally damaging and hope I never have to live through that again. I had AAA take the car to Honda, and they said that they needed to replace the transmission after only 10,000 miles. I could not believe it and they replaced the transmission since it was covered under warranty.

The steering system of my vehicle frequently locks, sticks, and slips, creating a serious safety hazard and putting both myself and others on the road at risk of losing control. I have reported this issue to Honda multiple times, but no permanent solution has been provided, and Honda denies that the problem exists. Two independent service centers have confirmed the issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, but technicians at both Honda and the independent centers have observed the malfunction. The problem first occurred on 10/08/2024, and waiting for the lengthy arbitration process is unsafe. I request that NHTSA urgently investigate this issue.
