NHTSA Complaint #10995630 — 2015 HONDA CIVIC

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAVE HAD MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC COUPE SINCE OCTOBER OF 2015. FIRST ISSUE, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED A STRANGE CLICKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS ONCE WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, I WILL PUT OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY IN REVERSE, GO A COUPLE YARDS IN REVERSE, THEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SWITCH IT TO DRIVE. AFTER I SWITCH IT TO DRIVE AND THEN DRIVE A COUPLE YARDS FORWARD, A WEIRD CLICKING SOUND COMES UP, IT IS TOWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS AN AXLE OR HUB, OR KNUCKLE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS, MY IGNITION SWITCH. IT TENDS TO HEAT UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE REASON I SAY A FEW MINUTES IS BECAUSE, ILL PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION SWITCH, THEN TURN IT AND DRIVE OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AROUND THE BLOCK. THEN ILL COME TO A STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, AND THE KEY WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I PUT MY KEYS IN MY JEAN POCKET AND IT BURNT ME. IT WASNT A BAD BURN TO WHERE IT LEFT ME A SCAR OR ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS STILL A BURN THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
