Problems with 2012 Honda Civic STRUCTURE

Paint is peeling where the rear window meets the roof. just noticed, not sure how long it has been happening.

The problem is on top of the car around rear windshield. the pain is gone during a couple months. it is white right now.

Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving on highway on 5/16/2017 @ 645 am. temperature was upper 60s with calm weather. the glass covered the front seats of the vehicle.

Driving on a rural highway and hit a deer. impact bent the bracket that holds the airbag sensor completely backwards and into the sensor itself, which cracked. airbag never deployed. now, post repair, airbag warning and light are on constantly.

The sunroof on my 2012 honda civic sunroof won't close. it gets stuck and it does a clicking sound. based on previous forum pages this issues is ongoing with many other cars with the same model and year. honda refuses to fix the issue. this issue can lead to water getting in the vehicle and other debris.

I don't know what a takata recall is, but per honda's website i have no recalls. i was in an accident on 5/21 around 2pm. i was driving on a straight city road close to getting on the highway going about 25mph. the woman who was driving next to me "didn't see me" as she turned into my lane. she scraped the whole passenger side door then her car lodged into my car near where the door & front part of the car meet on the passenger side. the car hit right neat the side airbag, but none of the airbags went off. that is what i'm worried about. why did none of the airbags go off?

involved in a hit and run accident where the airbag sensors where hit but the airbags did not deploy. all panels of car had to be replaced. we where hit going thru an intersection and the car ran a red light going 65 sideswiped us into a wall and electrical box....updated 09/15/15 *bf updated 11/13/2017*cn

During a mild rain event today i drove my car for no more than 35 minutes at no more than 60 mph. when i arrived at my destination, i noticed a wet spot where the driver's side curtain airbag cover meets the interior roof cover along the a pillar. i suspect that water is leaking in near the junction of the windshield and roof rail seal as they appear to have deteriorated. i am concerned that this leak will cause a malfunction in my driver side curtain airbag, a major safety concern. the following youtube video demonstrates the issue perfectly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiyznf6igbe). *tr

I was driving a 2012 honda civic when the car in front of me slammed on their brakes and came to a complete stop due to something in the road. i slammed on my brakes and tried to avoid the car in front of me by swerving to the right. the driver side of the front of my car hit the back of the car in front of me. my car was completely smashed in the front. air bags did not deploy. after i came to a complete stop, my car lit on fire. the car was burned and completely destroyed. *js

Upon impact the airbag deployed and i had 3 rib fractures and a fractured sternum. i am currently having bursar knee pain. i was taken by ambulance to an emergency room and was later sent to a trauma center er. i had one overnight hospitalization. *tr

While driving on i5 headed south to medford, or on june 6, 2014, at around 9:30 pm i struck what appeared to be a small refrigerator which was laying on the highway. there was what appeared to be minor damage to the bumper of the 2012 honda civic that i was driving. the sensors for the airbag system were triggered, but the air bags did not deploy. upon taking the vehicle to the honda dealership to get repairs, we learned that the harness for the air bag system had been severed. *tr

I came upon stop and go traffic and came to my stop behind the car in front of me. the driver behind me failed to stop and hit the rear of my car. my brake pedal went all the way to the floor as all the electrical parts turned off and on. this included my motor, gauges, and radio. this pushed me into the driver in front of me. i was shocked to see my airbag didn't deploy and that my cars i-mid display showed to check my airbag system. also my seatbelt didn't lock up fast enough to keep my head from hitting my steering wheel. this caused me to have a strain in my upper lumbar of the right side of my back. updated 11/24/2014 *js

I recently had my honda civic detailed and the gentleman pointed out small lines in my paint that looked like pine needles or a bird had landed on the car while it was wet. this paint issue was not present when i purchased the car, but the issue is under the clear-coat so there was nothing the detailer could do. as previously pointed out by another complaint, these marks are growing larger and will hurt the future resell value of the car as well as possibly damage the hood if not fixed properly. this occurred through no fault of my own (driver). my vehicle is still under warranty, but am unsure what to do. *js

Honda released a notice acknowledging cracks or "crow's feet" that develop on the paint of older model honda civic's ('06-'11). i recently began seeing these paint defects on the hood and roof of my 2012 honda civic coupe ex that is black in color (crystal black pearl). i was told that this cracking was a problem with the earlier, canadian-built, blue, black, and grey civic's, but because the 2012's+ are not included in the statement, it will not be covered. being my vehicle only has around 20,000 miles, it genuinely worries me how well the paint will hold up over time. the honda factory warranty, as well as the extended warranty i purchased, will also not cover this defect. from my research, these cracks are caused by an improper painting process at the factory and will grow worse over time. i ask that honda look into this and expand the recall to include certain 2012+ honda civic models. *tr

As i was driving to work at 4:30 am in heavy fog i hit a deer that was standing in the road. i noticed as i got out of the vehicle the car said something about the airbag sensor, well i didn't think nothing of it as i was worried about the condition my car was in at the time. well the body shop that fixed my car stated the airbag should have 100% deployed due to the fact the sensor was busted and the wire was completely into. my concern is why in the world did the airbag not deploy? i am glad it didn't but what if it had been a collision with a car. would the airbags not deploy and i take a chance on dying because of faulty airbags? i am really upset about this situation. i do not feel safe driving this car now...and i loved this car and one reason i bought this was because of safety..but now i do not know if i made the right choice. now the car is "fixed" the check airbag and emission system light is on. i am taking it to honda as soon as i can, but i am driving this car without seat belt working and the airbags not working...can someone please help me with this? thank you... *tr

We had the honda civic almost 6 months,all the driving like 99% has been fwy driving-anyway,happened to be in la for an appt and had a good 40 ft between me and the car infront of me.. car infront applied brake so did i , i just kept going- brake went to floor.. i was totally stunned.- happened so fast, i had no other option but to hit car infront.. it kind of felt like sliding- it was a sunny day, dry outside, nothing to slide on but that is the only way to describe nothing to stop me but the other car.. if i went left to avoid car, i would ve been hit by oncoming traffic so stunned the brakes were not there..so i rear ended the car that stopped us.. she had a laredo cherokee- after the impact we wondered why the air bags didn't come out, it was pretty direct.. i can only guess that her car was higher so the sensors didn't go off?? car is at body shop for last two weeks.. i told our insurance, i told the body shop, i told the hubby and everyone else that asked that i pushed the brake in and not a [xxx] thing happened.. i talked to the service guys at the honda that it has seen for regular maintenance going by computer menu thingy.. i ve been early or on time getting it serviced.. they said "the brakes are suppose to work that way" really? i'd be devastated if there was an animal, a person, infront of me i would have hit them and gone over them.. i ve never ever had a car respond that way.. after the hit, i moved to the side.. automatically used e brake. i then drove it a mile further at a crawl to a parking garage to make calls.. i drove at a snails pace.. you could've walked next to us.. 2 hrs later, i drove it two more miles at the same speed to body shop.. i have asked them to look at it.. they haven't yet.. the car is in pieces as they fix but they promised too. the guy was surprised we weren't injured.. i don't want to drive it again.. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Sense the date of purchase the noise level from the road surface inside the car has been vary loud. i down loaded a db app in our iphone and have measured sound levels above 90db. on our recent vacation on highway 197 between the dalles and bend or which had been just tar&graveled the noise level was in the 90db+ range for close to 4 hours. this noise level is hazardous for adults but extremely dangerous for infants and young children. i complained to the dealer and they blamed the tires (which are the originals), but they did not replace them. it's illegal for the driver to wear head phones or ear plugs in ca. the car should not really on special tires to maintain an except-able noise level in the passenger compartment. *tr

At approximately 7:45 a.m. i arrived at work and turned left into parking space to park. i was driving a 2012 honda civic, which was less than one month old. the car lunged forward when i took my foot off of the accelerator, jumped the parking bumper and struck a concrete wall. the driver's air bag deployed and the front bumper was scraped and knocked out of place. american honda has inspected the car and claims that nothing is wrong with it but refuses to release its report to me. *tr

I am just documenting that this vehicle has a real glare problem due to size and slant of windshield. the entire image of the dash appears on the windshield and the glare is very distracting while driving. i'm sure honda has tried to deal with this issue due to the matte finish on the dash,but it isn't working. i feel like i've made one of the biggest mistakes in buying this vehicle. i hope i don't run someone over, lost in the glare. *js

We bought the honda civic in feb 2012. drove about 1000 miles. one day i feel little hesitation in third gear. i open the hood to just check, and found the water all over the engine compartment and hood liner was wet and soggy. i was surprize and worryed thought cooling system busted or loose hose clamp. but after tharough checkup found that rain water seep thru between front hood lip and grill. i told my wife not to drive the car, it's not safe, because water can damage the electric component and may cause fire. so i dry the engine area as much as i could. setup the appointment with honda dealer. first of all the service suppervisor did not belive, and then she check couple of other cars same model and year,and found that all the cars are the same design nothing missing. she suggest to call the honda manufacture. i asked for the work order, she said there is no problem so no work order need to fillup. i talk to sale person about all this; he said the same. i was very disappointed. i ask for the service manager; and show him the car and problem; he said the same to call manufacture. but atleast he agreed to write the work order. that consumer complaint this, and we could not find any problem. as per consumer the rain water get in to engine compartment and wet the hood liner and other electric equipment and plugs. *tr

2012 honda civic. consumer states vehicle stalled when pulling away from a stop. *tgw the consumer stated the motor would still run, but there would be no acceleration; just a significant pause. the vehicle was inspected by the dealer and they stated there was nothing wrong and the pause was caused by a safety feature, triggered by the consumers driving style; two feet and the inadvertent pressure on the brake pedal while accelerating from a stop. the dealer stated any pressure, even the slightest, would cause the vehicle to pause. *jb
