2019 HONDA CIVIC Forward Collision Avoidance Problems

Since April of 2024, my steering has been sticking when making the slightest of turns. It has progressively gotten worse. I initially thought that I needed power steering fluid but that did not correct the issue. This sticky causes my vehicle to veer to the left and right abruptly into other lanes. I am fighting to keep the vehicle straight. I can hear the sticking noise constantly due to the lack of lubrication in the steering gearbox. I am fearful that I may cause an accident and injure myself or others when driving and I would like assistance in having the dealership correct this issue. This issue also causes the sensors for my ABS, Adaptive Cruise control, lane departure etc to malfunction and alarm.

Sometimes whenI go to brake the brake pedal goes all the way up and I can’t press it down to stop the vehicle. This only lasts a few seconds then the brakes return to normal. I believe this may be due to a previous recall. “A common brake issue reported with the 2019 Honda Civic is a potential problem with the brake system due to a faulty tie rod fastener connecting the brake master cylinder and brake booster, which could result in improper braking and is currently subject to a recall by Honda” Not sure why my vehicle is showing 0 recalls under the VIN.

I was driving straight going 35mph on a 2 lane rd when my steering wheel starting making a weird noise & almost was shaking. The steering wheel then locked up to the left & wouldn’t move. This caused my driver side tire to go into the curb, & at this point my steering wheel was spinning in circles & all I could do was brake. After bumping off the curb I then was thrusted back over to the right lane (due to having no steering control) where I came to a stop grazing another vehicle. My insurance performed diagnostics on the vehicle & determined the steering rack housing assembly part failed, causing the accident. There was no damage at all to the vehicle that would indicate this part was damaged as result of the incident, therefore they are calling it “pre existing damage” even though Honda did a multipoint inspection on my car 08/03/2024 (not even a whole 3 months prior) that did not mention a single steering problem. It was ultimately determined this failure is what caused the incident. Upon further research I have found millions of Civics are recalled for this issue but not my year of the vehicle. However, I have found countless stories exactly like mine with steering failure all regarding the 2019 Honda Civic. I am now without a vehicle, insurance refused to pay for the failed part, and I have reached out to Honda over 10 times trying to get in contact with someone about this to no avail. I truly was terrified for my life and feel this needs to be addressed because as previously mentioned, there are countless other 2019 Honda Civic owners with the same horrifying stories. This puts not only owners at risk but all other drivers.

The Carr some times breaks self and the gasoline not passing through the engine

I was stopped at a red light in the left-hand turn lane, waiting to turn left. Light turned green and I accelerated turning left. The car suddenly braked with no car or obstruction in my path. No collision mitigation light warnings came on. The car just slammed on the breaks!! Dealer service manager told me over the phone that unless a code comes up, they really can’t diagnose the issue. I believe this is a design flaw and not an issue with my car that can be addressed by the dealer. I have done research online and found many people reporting this issue and several while turning left. I am very concerned with the safety of this car.

My emergency braking system goes off constantly without anything in front of me. I almost got rear ended on a highway because my car came to a dead stop with nothing in front of me or even on the sides of me. It does this daily. My car also has been having a delayed start. It sounds like it almost does not want to start but then starts. Both of these issues have been affecting other Hondas including regular civic sedans but excluding my model and have recalls issued.

While car in sport mode in center lane of a three lane road at 45mph traffic ahead by over 300ft began gently slowing down to +/- 25mph Extreme braking was automatically applied w/o driver input, "BRAKE" message was displayed flashing on instrument cluster. Car came to an immediate stop, nearly causing collision with another vehicle behind it.

The automatic emergency braking system has flashed across my dash on multiple occasions while actually braked on a handful of times. The system seems to work correctly when its needed, but the concern is it will brake while nothing has been infront of me. I have come to dead stop while going 15 through a empty parking lot. The vehicle is open for inspection at any time. The safety of myself and others is at risk due to faulty detection and can cause an accident with my child in the car. I have not taken it to be inspected or looked at. There has been no warning lights about faults in anything.

I have had the accident mitigation system trigger for no reason causing the vehicle to slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop or close to a complete stop on two separate occasions. The first time this happened the vehicle had relatively low miles. I was driving down the road on a sunny day and the vehicle slammed on the brakes. The second time this happened I was driving to work right before the sun rise. The vehicle again slammed on the brakes all by its self. Thankfully no one was behind me either time.

My vehicle has randomly had the emergency brake assist applied when there was nothing in front of me. Thankfully there were no vehicles behind me & the times that there were it was residential roads that are 25mph. If this continues to happen it could cause an accident, having my vehicle go from 45-55mph to a complete stop with zero warning & no ability to continue driving until the alert disappears from the dash is quite dangerous. I haven’t had my vehicle looked at yet as it’s not something I can easily replicate, but I’ve seen quite a few complaints about it happening so I figured I should report it as well.

On multiple occasions, at least 10, my automatic braking detector system has engaged when no other cars were in front of me or around me on the road. It has happened while driving in the city at slow speeds, on the highway at 70-80mph, and most recently while going up ramp to merge onto interstate. The automatic brakes will engage causing my car to slightly brake and I then have to accelerate, especially while on the interstate, to keep the car moving or else it could just stop in the middle of the road with a potential to cause a deadly accident. My cruise control no longer works either. I wonder if these issues are synonymous? My safety and the safety of others is definitely at risk with my car randomly braking with no cars in front of me or next to me. The vehicle routinely gets inspected at my Honda dealership every 6-8 months when I get my oil changed and they have not reported any issues. There have been no warnings on the car prior to these incidents happening. This car has no accidents and currently has 30,000 miles. I would estimate the car had about 28,000 miles when the last incident happened while going up the interstate ramp. The braking system malfunction started at the beginning of 2023 from my knowledge.

I was driving down the highway near where I live in Hanford California the highway is 198. I was going 68, 69 mph. No one was on the road my car literally slammed on its brakes and jerked to the right.this has happened 2times I have turned off the assist I’m to afraid it will happen again. I am bringing it into the dealership tomorrow and also have them check my airbags the light in the dashboard intermittently keeps coming on then after a bit it will turn off. The first time I brought it in for the airbag lights coming on they informed me that it was due to me pulling the seat back to far I am 5 foot four. I don’t normally pull the seat back. It would be more closer to the steering wheel for me, but there was a problem supposedly with the connection that is under the seat it doesn’t make me feel too safe to think that me moving. My seat is going to prevent my airbags from deploying God for bid if I get into an accident.

Several times, while driving, my car would randomly slam on the brakes when there were no other cars around. I feel this is a safety issue that could cause an accident to the tear end of the car.

I leased the Honda Civic from a dealer in Maryland and the first advertisement for this car was this car has lane departure warning and adaptive cruise etc. I report some incidents of inefficacy these systems in my car while it showed alarm and Honda maintenance team assured me that it works perfectly. i was driving on Fwy I-40 West in New Mexico. After wind blow my whole front shield became foggy and the system did not show any alarm that it is not working. I ended up deviated from the road and my car was totaled. I called Honda customer service they assigned an investigation ticket but after several follow up nothing happened. CA Attorney General office referred me to you.

Gas pedal broke off in a 20 mph collision- air bags exploded

I was pulling into a gas station when errors started scrolling on the dash, pretty much all of the driver assist options were failing then the power steering error came up and it was almost impossible for me to turn the wheel, luckily I was going slow. Had it towed to a service station and they could not even find out what the codes that were reported meant. So I had it towed to the Honda dealership, they expected rodent damage but found none and neither did the service station. Honda then said it was the battery, but the car started great without even a second of hesitation so I was not sure how it could be the battery. They replaced the battery and said it was fixed $385.00 later. Less than 24hrs later, only about 2 hours of drive time, same issue except this time I was driving on a main road at 50MPH.. I barely managed to slow down and pull over before the steering went out again. I am not confident that the dealership is even going to be able to fix the issue since they thought changing the battery was going to fix it! They are just guessing and to lose the ability to steer my car while driving is a severe safety hazard. I guess I will have to replace the car, only 3 yrs old but OOW, as I will not feel confident it will be safe to drive in the future even if the dealership says they fixed it again. It obviously was not fixed this time!

Blackstone Lab reports fuel in my oil (acceptable for city driving} however all my driving is highway driving. Car has 22,500 miles, that oil had 4,000 miles on it and had 1.3% fuel ALL highway! Back and forth between Columbus, Ohio and Wyandotte, Michigan. Emergency Breaking will alert and apply break with nothing is in the way, and will NOT assist when something is right in front of car.

I turned on my vehicle and randomly had multiple warning lights come on including power steering, ACC, VSA, Hill start assist, LKAS, ABS. The power steering completely went out completely randomly but the power steering fluid is full. Two weeks ago I had my fuel pump recalled and now I have these issues. Valley Hi Honda in Victorville CA has not returned my calls and has been absolutely no help. If I had been driving there would be a good chance I would have crashed as I would have been unable to navigate a turn.

I took my 2019 Honda Civic into the dealership because I got a warning signal that says, collision mitigation system problem. The dealership says it needs a part that is back ordered and told me I could drive vehicle until part comes in. It has been several weeks. I am not comfortable driving my vehicle with this warning light on plus whatever they did since I assume this is a vital safety component/system. Also0, I have no cruise which makes long trips uncomfortable.

The emergency braking system auto brakes when to close etc mines done it multiple times with car ahead of me by 2/3 car lengths and even while switching lanes it’s auto brakes for no reason

There have been 3 times that this has happened. The first time I was driving and no car was in front of me. There was a car parked off to the side and my car sensored the car off to the side and the emergency braking system came on. My car slammed on the brakes automatically and I was going 45 mph and the seat belts locked up, while my car dived forward. I had to slam on the gas to avoid someone rear ending me behind me on a busy road. The other two times this happened occurred within 2 days of each other. The first was in broad daylight and my car sensored a shadow on the road, setting off the emergency braking system, making my car automatically brake and locking up the seat belts again. I was going 65 mph on this road as it was an interstate. I had to also slam on the gas to avoid an accident. The third time was 2 days later driving at night with no one around me, and I was on an exit 3 minutes away from my apartment. I’m not sure what set off the emergency braking system this time, as I didn’t see a shadow since it was dark out, but once again, it came on, locking up the seat belts. This time I was going 35 mph. I’m lucky each time I was able to get out of it and avoided an accident but I am truly scared to drive my car as this happens out of the blue when the cruise is not on or whether the cruise control is on.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the Forward Collision Avoidance System would inadvertently activate intermittently without a vehicle nearby. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

Mileage: 10,000

1.The Automatic Breaking System malfunctioned, and is available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety was at risk because in March 2020, the car stopped itself on North Carolina route 70 in the middle of traffic without warning and without cause/reason. 3. Dealership inspected the system on April 1st, 2021 and found no issue. They told me to manually turn off the system every time I start the car. 4. No, the car was not inspected for the ABS by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or anyone else. 5.No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms were on. Finding this article has prompted me to pursue the problem again. https://myfox8.com/news/money-matters/over-1-7m-hondas-investigated-for-unexpected-automatic-braking/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR3h1YQ5WtFCpKL7VaZ4jB2gP4TmhAukrSG72UX_7pLXQF7XN4bMQIWITDc

The vehicle's automatic braking function activates for no reason. Should only function if it detects objects in it's path which driver not reacting to. It has happened multiple times at both freeway speed as well as city speed. Mostly happens quick, applying slight brake with "brake" light illuminating on dash then quits. Scared it will apply full braking at some point. I know you are claiming occurs on Accords and CR-V but mine being a Civic it is happening to me also. Please address this and require Honda to fix this FAST!

EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT LEAST 30-35 MILES I GET THE MITIGATION, COLLISION AND ACC PROBLEM IVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HONDA 3 TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I'VE PAID FOR THEM TO RECENTER THE RADAR SENSOR BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK NOW THEY ARE REQUESTING I REPLACE RADAR FOR $1,500. THIS CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT WHY AM I HAVING ISSUES ALREADY? ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE LEAVE BUT ONCE I GET TO THE 30-35 MILES IT COMES BACK UP.

MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING ALONG ON A SUNNY DAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD. NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN SIGHT. THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM BEEPED AND FLASHED THE WARNING ON THE DASH. AT THE SAME TIME THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY BEFORE DISENGAGING. THE BRAKING LOWERED MY SPEED TO ABOUT 30-35 MPH. THE ONLY CONCLUSION I COULD REACH WAS THAT THE SYSTEM MISTOOK THE SHADOW OF A TREE FOR AN OBJECT BUT I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN TAKING AN EXIT RAMP FROM A HIGHWAY WHEN THE COLLISION WARNING FLASHED AND THE SYSTEM ENGAGED THE BRAKES MOMENTARILY, DROPPING MY SPEED SOMEWHAT, BEFORE DISENGAGING. IN BOTH CASES, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE SYSTEM DISENGAGED, THOUGH I AM GLAD IT DID AS OTHER VEHICLES APPROACHED FROM BEHIND SOON AFTER.

ON FRIDAY, APRIL 2ND, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE 710 FWY ON THE FAR LEFT LANE. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75MPH AND THERE WAS AN OBJECT ON THE GROUND WHICH LOOKED LIKE AN EMPTY POTATO CHIP BAG, IT WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE DONE ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR BUT MY HONDA SENSE'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOR NO REASON AND ALERTED ME TO BRAKE AND STARTED APPLYING PRESSURE. I HAD NO REASON TO STOP SO I HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE SHOULDER LANE TO PREVENT MY CAR FROM BRAKING UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO A DEADLY COLLISION IF THERE WAS A CAR CLOSE BEHIND ME. I HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE VIDEO AND REQUESTED THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF THIS IS A FAULTY SENSORY ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE IT CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF MY OWN VEHICLE AND IT TRIED TO OVERRIDE MY COMMAND TO KEEP DRIVING STRAIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN EMPTY ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT 40 MPH. IT WAS 2:30 PM WITH SUNNY CONDITIONS. THE CAR STARTED BEEPING AND THEN THE CAR'S BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED VIOLENTLY. THERE WAS NO CAR, PEOPLE, ANIMAL, DEBRIS ANYWHERE IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDE OF ME. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE A CAR COULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME AND REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN BRAKING.
