2015 Honda Civic electrical system problems

“The vehicle experienced a sudden component failure while driving, triggering immediate warning lights for the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA), high-voltage battery system, and braking system. The failure of the Motor Power Inverter (MPI) causes an abrupt loss of hybrid electric propulsion, a loss of the high-voltage battery charging system, and poses an immediate risk of engine stalling or a sudden drop in vehicle power while traveling at highway speeds. This creates a severe, unpredictable safety hazard to the occupants and surrounding traffic. Honda is fully aware of this systemic manufacturing flaw. The company issued a 15-year / 150,000-mile warranty extension under Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 20- 030 to address defective internal solder joints within the intelligent inverter unit that cause electrical shorts. Despite my vehicle suffering from the exact component failure detailed in the TSB, and despite the vehicle being well under the 150,000-mile threshold, American Honda is refusing to cover the safety-critical repair based strictly on a narrow VIN list exclusion. Because this component defect causes unpredictable electrical and propulsion failure on…”

“Vehicle battery drains while vehicle not in use. Have replaced the battery twice, and replaced alternator. Problem persists. When this began, it coincided with the car's door lock feature unlocking the vehicle upon approach, within about five feet, without pressing the fob. Also, if locking the vehicle if not about five feet away, it will lock and immediately unlock itself. I've seen many owners posting about identical issues, and no one seems to know how to fix the problem.”

“Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2015 Honda Civic. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 63,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 248,000.”

“My steering computer is bad. The steering wheel goes the opposite way. I’ve taken it to the dealership and they’re saying that the computer software and the whole computer needs to be replaced and affects how the way the car steers and is aligned.”

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Honda Civic. The contact discovered a mileage discrepancy after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was approximately 76,000. It was later discovered that the mileage on the title was 193,000. The contact became aware of fraud after receiving a letter from the State that their records indicated that the mileage was 193,000 when the vehicle was registered in Kentucky. The vehicle was registered in Kentucky in February 2025.”

“On on my dashboard due to a faulty malfunction in my ABS module that can only be done at Honda dealership and has to be removed only by Honda and sent off for Honda to rebuild and then sent back for them only to replace Seems ridiculous to pay $3000 for this when it's all over the Internet that this is an issue this is a computer issue this is ridiculous that this isn't there is no recall for this for this for this Honda issue it's all over Youtube this is the number one issue that's going around”
