2010 Honda Civic Hybrid problems

“While driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle encountered a pothole in the roadway. Upon impact, the driver's side steering wheel airbag deployed. However, the airbag experienced a catastrophic structural failure. Instead of inflating normally to protect the driver, the airbag fabric immediately ruptured, tore open, and "fizzled out" without providing any restraint cushion. A loud pop was heard, and there was powdery chemical residue in the cabin”

“MY BRAKES WILL BE STUCK (I COULD NOT APPLY THE BRAKE) WHEN I SUDDENLY PRESS DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDLY. I HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA ONCE I DID ONLINE SURVEY. TODAY, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT APPLY BRAKE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE STREET. THE BRAKE WORKS FINE AFTER THE ACCIDENT IF I PRESS THE PEDAL SLOWLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY.”

“The paint on this blue Honda Civic 2010 has been wearing away for years. There’s chips of paint missing on the hood. There is paint wear on the roof in two wide strips, on the trunk all over and the fenders. Also, the roof, when washed by auto carwash, buckles in when being dried so you can tell metal is thin. There’s definitely a defect in these civics I see them all over the place and every blue one almost has worn paint just like mine! Honda had to have done something wrong with these paint jobs, they should repaint them for free!”

“I recently read about NHTSA ID Number: 11469938 It made me realize I have the same problem although not as bad. My driver side sun visor is split at the seam. This causes it to hang slightly lower but does not completely block my view of the road. I have never had it inspected/replaced, but after reading about the complaint case above, I am worried the same may happen to my visor in the future (i.e. visor will flop down and block my view of the road).”

“The contact owns a 2010 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at various speeds, the vehicle unexpectedly shut off. There was no warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was shipped back to the contact's home state, where the contact also experienced the failure while driving at undisclosed speeds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the failure was duplicated. The mechanic retrieved fault codes related to the ECM, fuel system, and electrical failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided with a case number. The dealer was also notified of the failure, and the contact was provided with an estimate for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.”

“PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO ENGAGES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO MOVE WHEN ONLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. IF YOU PRESS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T OCCUR HOWEVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC YOU ALWAYS DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY PRESSING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. *TR”
