Honda Civic Reviews

2022 Civic is TRASH! 1st Honda I have ever owned and I have had so many issues with it. I actually have 2 thinking they were good cars. But I was dead wrong. My wife currently has the 2022 Civic "Sport" and it is already having issues. The issues my car has began with the electric gear box sticking, A/C went out, valve cover gasket leaking and now my back seat belts not functioning properly which is a safety issue that Honda doesn't want to be responsible for. Most of the issues just "happen" to start right as my vehicle warranty expired. And as for my wife's A/C Honda will not do anything about until it completely goes out because there are no lights or codes coming up as an issue. Even though it is beginning to do the same things mine did. So anyone who is looking to purchase a Honda Civic or Civic "Sport", DON'T! I hear the Pilots are TRASH ALSO.

This car cannot be unlocked if the battery dies. Do not buy It. I bought this car because Hondas are supposed to be the highest of quality. But when the battery dies, you cannot use your key to unlock this car because it has an electric lock only. I called the dealer and they told me. The only way to get the car unlocked is to call a locksmith or to get it towed to honda so they can unlock it for me.

I will never buy a Honda Vehicle in my life. Be careful of your vehicle's paint. My car is a 2015 Honda Civic Si and the paint is literally chipping off. Unfortunately it was "out of warranty". I don't even have 70,000 miles on it and they say nothing can be done. They say it's just the (13'-18') models but my mom has a 22' Honda Civic Sport and it's having the same problem. I recommend you purchase a Toyota or another brand.

As an owner of a 2017 Honda Civic, I have recently experienced a distressing issue with the air conditioning system in my vehicle. The AC malfunction started as a minor inconvenience but quickly escalated into a major problem affecting multiple components. Contacting Honda Motor Company for assistance, I was informed that they would only cover the replacement of the condenser, despite the issue being linked to the refrigerant.

Stay away from the Honda Civic Hatchbacks. The A/C no longer works and the dealership claims it's the evaporator, which conveniently isn't covered by the A/C recall. The dealership wants anywhere from $1,600-$1,700 to fix it. I have a 1 year old who can't tolerate the heat during my commute to and from his babysitter while I'm at work, so I have no choice but to get it fixed. I've read people get the evaporator fixed and then other parts of the A/C unit fail shortly after that. Honda needs to do the right thing and cover replacement of the entire A/C unit. There are too many negative reviews about it online to continue ignoring it. I grew up with all Hondas in my family. We are loyal to Honda, but I will avoid purchasing a Honda in the future if they don't make this right. An evaporator is supposed to last 10-15 years. This is ridiculous.

I have a 2017 Honda Civic hatch and have issues with the paint that peeled off of both mirrors, not to mention air bubbles in the rim of the windshield. I contacted a Honda dealership and they put a claim in for a warranty issue since all over the internet this is happening to other civic owners. My claim was denied, but others online have been filed and got theirs either painted or replaced. How can the paint be peeled and chipping after only 6 years and less than 80k miles?? HONDA, this is not a new issue, multiple owners are complaining about the paint peeling and not being right on their cars. How are you not helping your consumers?

I leased the brand new Honda Civic 2022 model in Jan 2022, since then I have had many issues with the car not starting and the alarm goes off while I am still in the car driving. The service center is also not experienced enough to resolve the issue. It has hardly crossed 9K miles and facing all these issues. Very unreliable brand and model. No proper care for the in warranty customers. Poor performance and service.

2016 Civic with 66,*** miles. AC compressor sounds like it’s going to explode if you idle with it on. Doesn’t connect to Bluetooth devices 75% of the time. USB connect only works when it feels like it. Back up camera doesn’t work half the time. Driver's side mirror has been loose for a year, was never knocked loose, it’s just loose from cheap parts. CVT transmission is a joke. Zero power, I could get more horsepower out of a horse and buggy. Not once have I ever gotten the MPG it claims to get, and I’m no leadfoot. All the seals are corroded and crumbling off around windows. Overall just a POS.

On May 31st 2018, I was not happy to buy my 2nd Honda Civic as I had a bad experience with my 1993 Honda Civic. The reason, I bought 2nd Honda Civic as my wife wanted this car badly. And the reason I did not want to buy the 2nd Honda Civic for the following reasons with my 1st Honda Civic.

I brought a 2018 Honda Civic, loved my car, happy and excited. Within 1 year my A/C started blowing hot air, took it to Honda dealership where I brought my car, I was first told, the technician needed to use some coolant to see if it's a leak, I took my car home. Rode it around like I was instructed to do, notice the next day, it started to blow semi cold air, I called the guy who assisted me and informed it's blowing hot air, I was then instructed to bring my car in. I was told I needed to pay $ 200 and something dollars to have a technician to evaluated my car to see if there were any leaks, Of course I paid, The guy then stated if it's the condenser it's covered under warranty. After a few hours later I was told, it's not my condenser, It's my evaporator, he stated which isn't covered. I asked do they work together and he stated yes, so please help me understand how is one covered and the other isn't ?

Very disappointed in Honda. Have owned Honda Civics for over 30 years so was shocked when my AC failed due to a faulty compressor on a vehicle with only 29,800 miles. I called Corporate Honda's customer service but they advised they will not repay what it cost me to fix the AC compressor.

The A/C system both the condenser and compressor failed in my 2018 Honda Civic with 13,000 miles. Honda acknowledges faulty part with their A/C condenser that could cause refrigerant to leak but failed to take responsibility of the compressor. The leak could cause other A/C components to fail such as the compressor, clutch and coil. These failures could further damage the car and cause the car to be unsafe to drive. Honda should take full responsibility of all the parts in their A/C system instead of charging owners $2300+ to fix the compressor.

I went to Honda on Friday to see if I can have my AC fix because it is not working (not blowing cold air). I spoke to this James (in the service department) and I told him specifically what was wrong with my car. I said, my car is blowing hot air... sometimes it blows cold air and then it will stop and continue to blow hot air. I said I wanted to get it fix since it is so hot right now I need it working. He said, the shop can’t get it done today and I have to leave my car overnight which I agreed.

I have a Honda Civic 2018 and my A/C failed completely after 49k miles. I took it to Honda for the Condenser Recall and apparently it’s not my condenser it’s my compressor that has a leakage. I had to pay $200 for the diagnostic test and if I want the compressor replaced it’s an additional $1,700 to fix. Even the service rep said that this is known problems for Hondas. How is this not a recall if so many people are experiencing the same issue? This will be the last Honda I ever purchase.

If you look at the other reviews you will notice a very common trend. AC compressor and condenser failures. Well, I am the most recent to experience this displeasure. I am at 34,000 miles and now have a non-functional AC. I paid $300 for a diagnostics and the Honda service center confirmed it was a leaky compressor. There are thousands of others with this same issue and at the same mileage. The issue seems to be a defective part in 2017 Civics and causes corrosion. Honda quoted me $3,000 to fix the issue. My warranty just expired and the issue is very well known.

I buy a Civic Ex on 2016 because the looks and gas efficiency but after 40k miles a/c start fail and blow hot air only....Try to fix myself because warranty expires. Went to a/c shop but they told me a/c condenser maybe or compressor about $2500 out of my pocket!! After I research for same problem found a thousands of civics with same issue, call American Honda company and they do not have any recall for the issue and I went crazy in summer. Is too hot in California....Seriously think not buy any more hondas....

My 2017 Honda civic had an ongoing beeping when turning on/off the car. Took it to the service department and they fixed it but did not documented. I was unaware they did not document issues if it does not make it to the back of the service department. Right when the warranty expired it started making the beeping noise and the air conditioning/heater was making a loud noise after the filters were changed.

Honda Civic that is less than 2 years old, under 35k, and still completely under warranty. Honda will not cover the $2000 repair bill. Spacing on front grill is too large which resulted in a rock getting in and damaging the AC condenser $750. Clearly a design flaw. All four brakes rusted, another $1,200. Honda takes no responsibility.

I own 2018 Honda Civic hatchback sport. I have power steering light, brake light, traction control light coming on. I took it into Honda. They said they fix it. But after a week the lights on my dash come on. I paid $293.00 to have them reset it. It didn't fix anything. I call 2 different shop. They said it could be a electrical issue. I look up recalls on my car. The power steering electrical pump causes the problem I'm having. I have no DTC codes when I hook my own scan tools up to it. Honda knows about these problem. They should just fix all the problem. Before they sell these cars.

Long gone are the days where Honda built great affordable cars that would last. Bought a brand new Civic. Not even a month later I could hear rattling on passenger side. 2 trips to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the issue. Drove me nuts so I started taking things apart where the sound was coming from. Turns out it was a loose screw inside passenger seat belt box. Took it back and they were like "oh, you're right, you should be a technician for Honda." At 8k miles, the ac started to blow warm. Turns out Honda has bad condensers and compressors. At 11k miles, the car's front looked like I blasted it with pellets because how weak the paint is. At 15k, window motor went out. Honda also now has a oil dilution problem on its Earth Dreams engine where gasoline ends up in your oil. At 20k miles, I cut my loses and moved on from this car. I always felt something would go wrong. I highly doubt this car makes it past 100k miles.

On 5/14/2020 my 2015 Civic Exl with 74k miles in it was totaled by an engine fire. That afternoon, I parked my 2015 Honda Civic EX L in my driveway and took groceries in the house. I came back out within a few minutes For the rest of the groceries and there was a fire starting in the front of the engine (battery area). The battery was installed less than 9 months ago at a Honda Dealership at a cost of 177.00. Car went up very fast and the firewall was inadequate, had I been driving when this happened I wouldn’t have survived. I live close to the fire station and the truck was there within minutes.

The single worst vehicle I've ever used. In three years...4 times the vehicle decided to lock me out. The 'mechanical' key that comes out of the fob is only for looks and only works with the electronic computer in the car. The battery is too small to handle the ' improvements' and you need to plan to buy a new battery every year. Galpin Honda will lie and come up with a myriad of excuses to not fulfill the warranty even if you buy the extended one. Stay away from new and used Civics (as far back as 2016). Honda is relying on a past good reputation and quit making quality or caring about customer service.

My 2018 Honda Civic Si has been in the shop three times since December 2019 with a fuel problem - first two trips covered under warranty now Honda wants me to pay even though the problem started while under warranty. First time - fuel pump replaced. Second time - relay's replaced. Third time - fuse box and wiring harness. Have purchased 9 Honda's since 2000 and was considering a new 2020 Pilot. Now over $500 Honda is willing to let me go to another auto company. $172 in parts and $332 in towing - this will be the last Honda product I purchase.

I bought a Honda Civic Sport, 6-speed, a year ago. When I went to the dealer, he did not have a sport, 6-speed on the lot; and, one was not ordered. I dealership 50 miles away was expecting one within the month. I asked to get the premium sound and navigation system. Was told it was not an option for the sport model, I had to get another model, but an automatic. Didn't want an automatic. I figured the sound couldn't be that bad. NOT. I had the speakers replaced and, wow, the speaker magnets that came with the car were very lightweight. During the buy, I was told the car came with Android Auto. Yep. It came... and then it goes. The navigation through Android does not stay connected. Was told by Honda Tech that I had to disconnect Bluetooth. I did. Nada. No difference. After about 20 minutes, the navigation might stay connected, but no guarantees.

I bought my 2019 Honda Civic Sedan (trim just right below touring). It’s been great on gas, runs good, safety features are nice but there are some issue that need to be fixed. When you turn on the right blinker and the camera shows the side of the vehicle (great feature) but it stays for quite a bit of time and cause an issue when you have a navigation system on and cannot see the directions. As far as the lane departure this is great until you are on roads that barely have lines or you are have to merge and it starts jerking you to a specific side causing a fight between you and your vehicle. When you press the brake hold for use during traffic.

Bought a 2006 Honda Civic in 2013 for our son. A month after buying, we received a warranty extension on engine block cracking. We were sick over it, and angry that Arrowhead Honda didn’t disclose; as it was an issue since 2010. Arrowhead Honda assured us that any issues would be taken care of. Fast forward December 18, 2019. Guess what? Cracked engine block on a 2006 with 129,000 miles! Since it’s conveniently out of warranty extension, American Honda will do nothing.

The car has 68000 miles on it yet it still drives like brand new. No rattles and haven't had any major problems or minor either. Easy to drive and Park. Great gas mileage. But I think the spring on the driver side door is weak because the door doesn't want to stay open. It will swing back on you.

The most beautiful, affordable car is the 2016 Honda Civic. The other models just are sub esthetically pleasing. My car consistantly gets 34mpg and is huge in comparison to most compact cars. I love the onboard computer that tells me the efficiency of my driving. I wish that the inside wasn't quite as tight around the front seats.

Bought it 2010, the only major repair I done is replace the brakes. Maybe because I drove mostly on highways, I only replaced the brakes twice and current mileage is just a little over 180,000. The seats are still comfortable (front and back). The only complaint I have is the inside noise. It's not loud but it is noticeable to be annoying. My next car is still a Civic but I read on your review they did not improve on the noise. Overall, I do enjoy driving it more than the 2015 Accord.

It is a good first car, reliable and, easy to maintain. It has a good fuel economy. It would definitely fit most people. However, after three years of driving it, I would like to drive something more luxurious.
