2025 Honda Civic HybridRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“I am reporting a serious and recurring safety defect involving my 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid. This is the second occurrence of a serious vehicle malfunction, and the vehicle has experienced numerous other significant problems during my ownership. During the most recent incident, I was traveling approximately 45 MPH when the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power. I was unable to accelerate, the vehicle shut off while I was in the middle of the roadway, and the vehicle subsequently went into limp mode. At the same time, the vehicle displayed multiple warning lights and safety-system warnings, which I documented in a video. The ABS system is still not functioning, and the electronic parking brake is also not functioning. Other vehicle safety/driver-assistance features are also unavailable. Before and during this incident, the check-engine light was flashing. The vehicle was also shaking severely and making extremely abnormal engine noises. The check-engine light later became solid, but the vehicle continued to have serious problems. I had the vehicle scanned and received a diagnostic report showing confirmed and permanent diagnostic trouble codes…”

“On 5/20/25 while pulling out of my house's driveway I saw a warning on my dashboard that the brakes were malfunctioning, that it was unsafe to continue driving, and to stop as soon as possible. The brakes were soft and I could feel and hear a grinding noise when I stepped on the brake. I returned the car to the driveway. The vehicle was towed the same day to the dealer for service. The car was repaired on 5/23/25. The repair invoice states: "Electric brake control internal circuit malfunction...brake hold simulator not pluging...replaced simulator set (part#:01469-T61-A02). Car was tested after repairs." (Purchased on 4/4/25.)”

“On a two way lane highway, vehicle detects on coming traffic and causes sudden deceleration of vehicle and braking which can cause being rear ended by another vehicle. This also occurs on multi lane freeways when going in the same direction the vehicle will detect a vehicle in the lane next to me braking and again cause the vehicle to decelerate and brake which could cause an accident. Occurs at least once or twice a week. I have a video of the issue which might be better”
