2011 Honda Civic owner complaints

Takata inflator. Honda sent recall notice one year ago but opportunity to repair/remedy is not yet available even though they proposed that it would be by 6-9 months. No incident has occurred.

Takata recall - my complaint is with the amount of time it is taking for parts to become available to repair a Honda civic I purchased for my daughter and her family. I received a letter in july 2016 indicating that the 'remedy parts needed to conduct passenger frontal airbag inflator recalls will become available in late summer/fall of 2016'. I also was advised I would receive another letter when the parts were available. Until such time as the vehicle is repaired I was advised: "Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed." as of today, december 30, 2016, I have not received the 2nd letter. It is extremely stressful for a mother to have her child sit in the front passenger seat when she knows this pose

The contact owned a 2011 Honda Civic.

The contact mentioned that the engine was revving high. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact was rendered unconscious by the impact. The contact sustained a cracked sternum, rib, right shoulder, back, and hip injuries, and also aggravated a prior spine injury. The contact stated that he observed coolant leaking from the radiator on the ground under the vehicle. Medical attention was required for these injuries. A police report was not filed.

The air bag warning light keeps coming on even after repair shop reset it. We are very worried about it's ability to operate correctly without injuring us !

I was informed of an airbag recall in july 2016 and was told parts needed would become available in late summer/fall of 2016. It has been 5 months and still no communication from manufacturer and no repair has been made.

I was involved in a crash friday, 12/2 and neither my airbag or seat belt did what they were supposed to do. I accidentally rear-ended someone on the highway in moderate traffic going approximately 20-25 MPH, and my airbag did not deploy, and my seat belt did not lock, which LED to me hitting my head on the steering wheel.

Car lost control on the road and moved outside of the road when the side air bags got deployed. When they got deployed the air bags did not inflate. This has caused the head to be hit on the windows of the car pretty hard. How could it happen that the air bags god deployed but no air got inflated into the airbags. They just fell as if a cloth \ curtain was coming out without inflating. Attached pictures should give you an idea.

On August 9 while grandson was in route on I20 toward Birmingham, Al. to attend grandparent funeral, driver air bag exploded. He struggled to take a close next exit. He pulled car to side of road and ran away from car. He said it was full of smoke and small pieces. He feared the car was going to catch fire. His phone was dead and there was nothing off the exit so after smoke cleared and he felt safer, he drove car to my home and parked under carport. I called Sunny King Honda on Monday and they said that I had to contact American Honda. I was told they would send someone to inspect, but after many times calling, they said insurance needed to inspect. On October 1, Insurance looked at car and did car fax and found no reason for air bag to explode. They had already given me case number but

I bought a 2011 Honda civic from a used car dealer. While the car is in motion or sitting at stop light with the heater on or a/c on you can smell raw gas smell. It comes and goes.most of the time you smell it. If you put climate control in reticulation there is no smell of raw fuel at all.dealer cannot find any leaks I can't either. Since they sold this to me and this is a health concern can I make them take car back?

The driver's side visor has split and just hangs down in the line of vision....I purchased a new genuine Honda visor and the same thing is happening to it. Now the passenger side visor is also beginning to split. Honda will not stand behind their defective visors. It is not overused or abused in any way. My vehicle is always well maintanined.

Have not been notified that air bags have been recalled. No phone call or email or stop by.

I love my Honda civic and this is the 2nd one I've had, however I have one safety issue with the 2011, visibility and blind spots while driving. Sitting in the drivers seat, the part between the front windshield and the passenger side window has nearly caused me several accidents. I pull up to stop sign, and road looks clear, but when I start to pull out, I just miss a car or truck that was caught in that one blind spot. Honda should look into this and fix the design of this area. *tr

Have had numerous encounters where I almost have car accidents because brakes will not grab. I have seen numerous posts about this issue. I stopped going to the dealer for service because every time I took it to get checked out they said it was functioning in perfect condition. I have changed my brakes and rotors at least 4 different times even after I bought ceramic brakes and heavy duty rotors, and tires on two separate occasions. Upon complaining to Honda's corporate office I was given a $200.00 gift card that pretty much went right back for repairs.just from 3 years of ownership have spent over $3,000.00 in repairs and maintenance fees. These cars might contain a factory defect that should be fixed before someone loses their life. If it wasn't for the 22 years experience of driving in

I bought this car with 10,000 miles. On a few occasions (months apart) while applying my brakes, the pedal collapses to the floorboard and I feel grinding coming from the pedal. This usually occurs at a low speed and on a decline/slope.. For example, leaving a convenience store parking lot. Up to this point, the car has always responded to the brakes, but it is as if I'm bleeding the brakes.. Brake pressure is good and in an instant, it is gone. *tr

My 2011 Honda civic has a blown engine after having the car less than 4 years. Unfortunately past 60,000 mile warranty on the engine, my car with 63,000 miles has a completely blown engine. I am very disappointed this is no longer covered and there is nothing Honda can do about. I am very disappointed that this Honda is such a lemon and have no faith in buying a Honda ever again. I am a single mother struggling to make ends meet and now I have no choice but to find the money to replace an engine on this car because I still have a five year loan to pay off on it. The last Honda I had went over 229,000 miles on the engine. What has happened to Honda quality? *js
