2022 HONDA CIVIC Unknown Or Other Problems

The vehicle experiences an intermittent engine and/or electrical system failure causing the car to losing acceleration while driving. The exact component has not been identified because the failure is intermittent. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The problem has not been duplicated by the dealership, and they have declined to repair the vehicle on that basis. However, the issue continues to occur intermittently despite being reported. The vehicle has been presented to an authorized Honda dealership for inspection. The manufacturer has not identified the cause due to the intermittent nature of the failure. No inspection has been performed by police or insurance representatives. There are no consistent warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The vehicle looses acceleration suddenly and without warning. The problem first started about a month ago and most recently happened today when our car was almost rear ended due to the car loosing acceleration drastically on its own.

I was driving on a very busy road and the car completely died and would not go into park. It was like the battery was not even there. The steering wheel locked up, hazards would not come on and all the doors locked and would not unlock. There was no power to the car whatsoever. The drivers side door had to be pried open from the outside so I could get out of the car. We had the battery tested and is tested completely fine. The car has done this three times now.

I have reported this to American Honda - My driver car lock has been not working properly since 2024. It will intermittently not work to unlock the driver's door. Also, it will intermittently not lock my car automatically when I leave the vehicle with the key fob. The first time I took the vehicle in - they replaced the front door power latch. Since then, I took it in on May 2025 - they said since the car does it intermittently, they cannot fix it. Well, I just took the car back today, 12/09/25 - and I am leaving it there until they can find out what is the problem. In a emergency, if I needed to open my driver's door, to avoid a dangerous situation, and could not, I would be harmed. I have taken videos, and showed the dealer to help identify the issue. American Honda said to take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. I would like my vehicle fixed or bought back from me.

The vehicle will randomly say these warnings: Brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Brake hold system problem. Apply brake when stopped. See your dealer. Anti-lock brake system problem. Brake performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Vehicle stability system assist problem. Reduced traction and handling. See your dealer. Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. I have shut the vehicle down and checked the VSA with no leaks and full fluid in reservoir. I checked the harness and the wires are great. I checked the the brake unit to make sure they were not loose. I also checked the parking button and observed it to be clean from debris. This is happening to multiple people with the new Honda Civics and has now became a safety as it will make the vehicle brake slower and not be available for forward collision. Is anyone else dealing with this and what was the fix. Thanks.

I am not sure if you would consider this as safety issue but with the amount of drivers using phones while driving I see it as a major safety issue. When asking the vehicle to read a text message aloud via CarPlay it starts off extremely loud for half a second then goes so quiet it cannot be heard making it useless. Obviously it would be advise for the driver to not pick up their phone while driving to check the text message but that is not reality these days. This has been a problem since the day I bought the car and was told by the dealer they couldn’t do anything to fix it until Honda did a software update. Three years later and still nothing. It seems there are tons of drivers who have reported the same issues but still no fix 3 years later. It’s a major safety issue in my opinion for both the drivers of 2022 civics and innocent drivers who probably have gotten hit or could get hit from a distracted driver because they are picking up their phone and taking their eyes off the road to read a text because the read out loud function doesn’t work. I ask the dealer every time I take the car in if there has been a fix yet and the answer is always no. Thanks for taking this into consideration! Honda has known of this potential safety issues for three years and has done nothing to fix it.

Upon attempting to use my air conditioner for the 1st time this year I found that it would only blow out hot air. Contacted the dealer who said they would charge me $160 to look at it. I ended up contacting another car repair shop who took it in and did a full check and found that the compressor had no damage but was leaking freon that they had to add because my car had NONE. The car is only 2 years old. Upon further research I found that several hundred thousand 10th gen Hondas were given extended warranties to 100,000 miles because of the same exact issue. I called the dealer back about this and they said that my car is 11th gen so not part of this extended warranty. It appears obvious to me that this problem continues with this new 11th gen. People should be warned. This is a huge expense and it's simply unacceptable for a 2 year old car.

American Honda has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle, without charge and within a reasonable period of time (60 days from the date I first contacted the dealer for a repair appointment). Therefore, I am submitting this complaint as the original safety recall notice suggested. I called them on November 26, 2024 for an appointment. They told me they could not schedule an appointment until the part arrived. It has been 60 days and I still do not have an appointment scheduled.

When scheduling the appointment for recall # 24V-744, was told they would put me on waiting list for the replacement part. Was informed it could take several months to receive the call that the part was even sent.

Due to a faulty malfunctioning manufactured back up camera and front dashboard display, my sister backed into another car while parallel parking, resulting in a damages on the paint of the back bumper and further indentation. Additionally this issue happens all of sudden no matter what the weather condition or temperature outside is which increases the risk of a crash with vehicle behind or injury to a pedestrian. I have proof of this happening and it seems forums online have reported this issue to

[XXX] The power steering column locked up while driving down [XXX] causing an incident that caused the car to become a total loss. A police report was generated where II stated the power steering column locked which caused the incident, I informed my insurance company immediately and throughout the dealings with my insurance company and Honda Collision center I kept stating the steering column locking as the issue. I even reached out to Honda Automobile Customer spoke to Danielle and Casey at 1-888-234-2138 on 10/4/2024 at 3:36 pm in which I was advised of the recall inspect EPS part 23089. Honda Collision center advisor drove the car around the parking lot and made an assumption it was not the power steering column. I have since 8/31/2024 have been looking for an attorney to sue Honda and now I have the recall letter sent by Honda I hopefully will be able to retain one.

My children fell asleep in the car, I put the car in park but left it running with ac running while I was right outside of the car doing some things. After a certain amount of time (a few minutes) the car automatically shut everything off including the air conditioning. I hadn’t left the car unattended so I knew as soon as it turned off and my children were never in danger but I’m worried the same could happen if someone left their animals (or worse case scenario children) unattended with the car running to go inside somewhere. I feel strongly that if I leave my car running with the air conditioning on it should stay running with the air conditioning on until I personally turn it off.

My 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback started making a noise while turning left or right. Car was taking to Honda of Owings Mills dealership for an inspection, where the diagnosis was my EPS Rack.

Steering wheel locks up and trunk hatchback leaks every time it rains.

Usually in the mornings there is a loud sound that comes out of the vents. I have it recorded. It sounds somewhat like crackling. One time when my car was in the shop I was given a loner of the same type of car and I heard it in that car as well. Today was the most recent occurence. 6/12/24.

The car has never been crashed

When driving, I feel like I have to fight the wheel to steer. It feels "sticky" and must constantly be corrected, particularly when driving on a straight road at interstate speeds. This has been confirmed by a dealer. I originally took it to the dealer because it began squeaking when hitting uneven spots in the road. This has been reproduced by the mechanics. The steering problem began shortly afterwards. I also took it in for the steering rack recall, but they did not replace it. They have replaced a strut and lubed the car, which helped temporarily, but the problems began again soon afterwards. The squeakiness began in late September followed by the steering problems around December or January. The steering seems worse when the weather is cold.

I got my recall done already, however, the problem is getting worst after 2 weeks of regular driving. The steering will suddenly gets hard/stiff when driving. It makes it hard to turn and it's dangerous when driving on freeway. I almost got into an accident on the freeway because the car in the front change lane last minute without signalling, and at the time my stiff steering acting up and cause the delay of turning.

* Steering wheel binds while turning left, usually around 3 degrees. Breaks free with very light touch. * Steering wheel can kick to the left while returning to neutral from a right turn * Steering wheel was strongly kicked to the left about 6 degrees while going up hill. * Going up or downhill greatly increases the incident rate. The vehicle was taken in several times for this issue. It was taken in for a recall notice, and they said they checked the parts to find nothing wrong. I'm - very - certain they did nothing. My car has since been removed from the recall notice on Honda's website. They were only to recreate the issue once since then with zero resolution.

The steering wheel sticks about 70% of the time I drive the car. I have to use more pressure to make minor adjustments than normal. I'm guessing it's the steering rack or something similar. It takes my focus away from other things I should be paying attention to while driving. I need this fixed ASAP.

My went to the Honda dealership and i advised them that the paint on my brand new Honda Civic was peeling. They said they can't do anything and to report it to muy insurance. I have pictures of how horrible my car is getting

The steering wheel feels sticky at speeds over 15 mph. It is not easy to make a small correction when driving on the highway.

After sitting outside for 9 hours during a heavy rain storm and then driving for 30 minutes in the same storm, water is somehow entering the trim of the rear hatch, then draining into the trunk space via inside trim panel seams near the taillights. Water is entering the vehicle cabin trunk.

Unknown I wasn’t in an accident

When Turning or in a lane and your slighting adjusting the steering feels sticky very sticky sometimes almost like it’s the power steering rack

When driving the 22 civic sport the steering wheel seems to get stuck in a position and you have to fight it to get unstuck which is severely unsafe I have brought the vehicle to the dealer months back and they told me nothing is wrong I became very frustrated because my wife drives this vehicle to work and brings our boys to school and there safety is at jeopardy daily it’s a brand new vehicle now there is a steering rack recall as of December 2023 I am her today for the diagnosis I don’t have high hopes because they will tell me it’s fine again something needs to be done these cars are not safe to drive it’s a constant battle trying to drive this car and keep it going straight in your lane and the highway feels like a death trap today is December 27th 7:00am est I am waiting to pull into dealer service bay this needs to be addressed asap it’s a lease I have always leased never had issues this is my fourth one with Honda and the most trouble I have had now they told me they don’t even check anything about recall they scan the vin if it matches an issue they will fix it if not it’s fine be on your way I’m like what!!! I said the steering is really bad and was brought in before and they told me I’m feeling things it’s fine I need help from higher up this vehicle needs to be replaced asap it’s going to take a severe crash or death for this to become serious really I’m not the only one having this issue

The steering system has failed and also the brake system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The Steering wheel appears to be sticky, so I personally have encountered a few near miss incidents where I end up over turning because I have to use excessive force to turn. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer or inspected by anyone but myself. Yes, there were warning lights as stated earlier. The brake system light and a few other lights came on after the incident.

On a recent outing, I began to smell smoke and assumed it was from a nearby brush fire. In less than a minute after I first smelled smoke my vehicle began to shake. Suddenly my warning lights flashed and a puff of smoke came out from my hood near my windshield. I lost power in my vehicle as well as my steering and braking ability. Fortunately I was able to pull to the side of the road, at which point flames began to shoot out from the hood. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames and is now a total loss.

Less than 5,000 miles on car. Brake pedal, when pushing it down, began to vibrate / not go down smoothly. After a couple days of this, my brakes made a loud grinding sound when stopping or releasing the brake. Normally brakes will start to squeak before you reach a grinding sound. Again, less than 5,000 miles on this car, so way too soon to be dealing with this issue. Wiper fluid for the front has NEVER worked, even when full. It works for the back. I asked the techs who changed my oil to check it out and they could not find the issue; they recommended I take it to the dealership and suggested it may be a recall. I am getting it serviced tomorrow at a Honda service repair location near me. They said they will cover it since it is under the 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty. I hope that is true.

Steering wheel has a sticking feeling, more noticeable at higher speeds. Seems to require more force to make small corrections, which results in over correction.

The vehicle steering wheel locked up and several error warnings were displayed on the dashboard. We had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership.

I started the car and had multiple system warning lights come on. They are electric power steering, tpms, vehicle stability assistance, low speed assist, lane keep assistance. I took to dealer and was told they don't know what problem is and was not covered under warranty. Car has less than 5000 miles on it. The car is available for inspection and the problems have not been fixed to date

There are issues with steering possible lane assist. I took it to Honda to be accessed, initially the rep tried to tell me there was nothing wrong/ didn’t understand the issues I was having. Then I was told it was a small hose that was constantly triggering lane assist feature and that they needed to take the dash apart and install this part they claim they special ordered. I left my car at the service center for several days. They reported they had replaced defective part And the issue had been resolved however, It’s been 2 weeks and the car is worse than before. The steering wheel is stiffer than before and makes a clicking sound when turning any direction. I’m afraid of an accident because the issue forces the driver to constantly. The service guy claimed it’s not dangerous just something annoying. I feel frustrated because this shouldn’t be happening with a car that I just 1 year old

While driving on the freeway at 75 mph, the Adaptive Cruise Control was engaged, and when commnig up behind a slower moving truck in the slow lane, our car decelerated to match it's speed. I then went to pass the truck after several vehicles passed us on the left. As soon as I started to change lanes, the cruise control shut itself off and the car started to slow down with several more cars now right behind us in the fast lane. Once we were past the truck and back in the slow lane, I tried to re-engage the ACC, which refused to turn back on. It only gave a beep and showed an icon on the display that said ACC was off. (it was not off). The ACC would only start working again after we had gotten off the freeway and stoped the car. On this same trip, the ACC turned itself off, on about 6 or 7 different occasions. There was also a time when I was following a vehicle with ACC on, following at medium distance, and another vehicle sped past me on the left, and darted between our car and the one we had been following, and continued past that vehicle on the right side. As this other car passed between us and through, our car suddenly sped way up, forcing me to slam on the brakes so we wouldn't rear-end the vehicle in front of us. At this point, I do not trust the ACC, or any of the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in this car, and will NOT be using them unless Honda makes some fixes. (and even then, I will be wary) Prior to this trip, my wife was in the car, parked, with engine off, using the radio to listen to a pod-cast via her phone (plugged into the usb) and the car suddenly gave her a warning message that all of the Driver Assist functions were disabled, and to please see the dealer. We took it in, and they said there were known issues with some of the cameras and they would replace ours when they get one in. They still haven't got one in, however, everything started working again on it's own after the dealer had looked at it.

While driving on a freeway, the cruise control will beep and then automatically and abruptly turn off and it will not turn back on. To turn it back on I have to pull the car over and, sometimes, turn it off and turn it back on to get the cruise control working again. This has happened multiple times and the frequency is about 2 times a week.
