NHTSA Complaint #10564836 — 2014 HONDA CIVIC

INFLATE TIRE LIGHT WENT ON IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF DRIVING. LEARNED FROM PARTS MANAGER THAT THIS IS COMMON AND A SOFTWARE ISSUE. NO FIX RIGHT NOW. HANDS FREE CALLING WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. NOT SAFE TO USE WHILE DRIVING AND FRUSTRATING THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME. HONDA CORP. SAYS THIS IS COMMON AND WE NEED TO GET USED TO IT ONLY WORKING SOMETIMES. MILEAGE ON STICKER SAID 30MPG CITY / 39MPG HIGHWAY. I GET 22-23 MPG ON SUBURBAN STREETS (NOT SHORT CITY BLOCKS). THIS IS WORSE THAN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD THAT I TRADED IN FOR THIS CIVIC. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THE CIVIC VS. THE ACCORD WAS DUE TO THE GREAT MILEAGE I WAS ASSURED I WOULD GET ON THE CIVIC. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I AM A LOYAL HONDA OWNER FOR THE LAST 25 YRS. THIS IS MY 4TH HONDA AND IT WILL BE MY LAST. I VIEW THIS CAR AS A LEMON. NO CAR (ESPECIALLY A HONDA) SHOULD NEED TO BE FIXED IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF OWNERSHIP. IT'S BEEN TO PAULY HONDA 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY DEFENSIVE. BEWARE. HONDA DOES NOT MAKE THE CARS THAT IT USED TO MAKE. *TR
