Problems with 2013 Honda Civic ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The audio unit back light flickers. upper display is blank at startup. vol/selector knob or hard keys do not work. multiple sources appear on the informatio

I have noticed that my honda civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. you press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). it does this all the time. i noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. it does this while driving on regular streets and on highways. the car shakes a lot when the ac is on. you turn the ac off and it stops shaking. the cars engine is full of rust thanks to honda for using cheap parts to make this car. i have searched this and there are several hondas with the same issue of several engine parts being rusted.

Takata recall. i have been the original owner of my 2013 civic coupe, and have loved it since. however, within the past month, check airbag system light has come on, first time during the middle of me driving going straight forward and stayed on until i turned the car off. it continued to come on while driving, and eventually started coming on when i first started the car, stationary. it does not come on every single time, but comes on very very frequently. this is a huge safety concern and they need to recall the problem. i called to see how much honda would charge to fix it, and they said $140 just to diagnose, and multiple reports of the parts costing up to $1300 to repair. this is ridiculous for someone to have to pay this amount for a car and a company that is supposed to be one of the most reliable and trusted brands on the market. the reason i chose a honda civic was because of the low rate of problems, and this is the hugest problem that can occur, a life threatening problem, very disappointed. there have been multiple reports of people getting in crashes and the airbag not going off, huge safety concern, and life threatening, even if the light does not come on. this should be a major red flag to anyone who owns a 2013 honda civic if the light has come on or not!! atleast 4 people have died from 2011 hyundai sonata and 2013 kia forte takata airbag problems reported earlier this week. this should be taken seriously immediately by honda and nhtsa and looked into asap. please share this information if you have a similar problem, know someone with a honda civic, or has occurred to someone you know. by writing complaints on here, and contacting honda, we can help raise awareness to the nhtsa and honda to issue a recall, so no more people have to stress, worry, or be in a life threatening situation from the airbag system!!!!

The car would not start after a short 12 mile trip . after the car battery was jumped i went straight to the dealer and the battery was checked and according to them they could not find anything wrong. the battery test find as did all the electrical components.that incident was my first on ---12/09/2017------ today 2/8/2018 was the second incident the same thing happened and again it tested find after a jump. what is going on here i can not count this car as reliable if it is going to leave me stranded! the vehicle was parked in the university parking lot and the engine was off. but when i got ready to go nothing, no start. we had to call the campus police for help with a boost.

I was driving and my power steering locked up and would not let me use the steering wheel. i turned off the car and the light went off and the power steering returned for a couple minutes only to turn off and not allow the steering wheel to work any longer

'takata recall' hi so recently i got in accident it was my fault in accident i hit car from behind iwas at 50mph speed while other car was stopped at red light ihit his car super hard my front of car was all bad have to put everything new and im surprised ihit car that hard and airbags didn't come outside. and second issue while my car is off it still keeps electronic function on inside system which keep draining my battery ovwr and over

'takata recall' i received a letter by mail saying there is a class action settlement for the takata airbags. the 'check airbag system' warning light comes on randomly in my 2013 honda civic while stationary and in motion. took to dealer and they can't figure out what is wrong or give me a straight answer. i went to the website provided, entered my vin number but it said my car was not effected. there have been many more complaints for the 2013 civic model for faulty airbags!! something is not right, this is a major safety issue and honda needs to take care of it!!

The air conditioner motor and resistor in my car have been replaced 5 times now. every four months, the air conditioner makes sounds, fluctuates in power, and then finally stops working altogther. the lights on the dash still work, but the air stops blowing. once motor and resistor are replaced, it works fine again - but only for a few months. all new parts have been ordered directly through honda. the defroster and heat will not work either when this part goes bad, which is dangerous if driving in the rain or in the cold.

It was fine when i parked it in the garage the night before but the next morning none of the following were working and the dealer has no idea what's wrong (they want to try replacing whole console for $700 and if/when that doesn't work try replacing something else for $$$): - dash (and gear shift, etc.) doesn't light up when driving at night - windshield defoggers - speedometer (reads "0" whether in motion or stopped) - odometer - warning indicators (overheat, tire pressure, etc. except "brake" which still works, and the little gas icon on the left continuously blinks whether full tank or not) - gas gauge - gas mileage - tachometer (a physical meter) - air conditioner - oil life left - cruise control - "econ" mode button doesn't work - not sure if air bags work - i may find out someday - radio works/displays fine i am not sure of the exact date when this happened, but it was sometime in august 2017.

Rodents ate through wiring between alternator and battery. determined that honda changed to soy based material to coat wiring on all 2012-2015 civic models. the soy based formula becomes heated and attracts the rodents when parked. the problem is pervasive and dangerous since electrical wiring and harnesses to all major engine components are affected.

Ima warning light came on and lost power. slowed almost to a stop while on highway. i was able to make it to dealerhip with flashing hazzard lights going 20 mph. honda dealership ran diagnostic and says code poae1. troublehot code and telling me not ima battery problem that woudl be covered under warranyt, but motherboard problem which is not covered under warranty. motherboard part is backordered and may take months. i asked for documentation that it is not a covered under electrical warranty because ima and they say no. says they will give me paperwork after if is fixed. $2000

Tpms indicator light on. tires inflated at the proper pressure. i have taken this vehicle in to the dealer multiple times for the low tire pressure signal continually coming on even after new tires installed. there is something wrong with the sensor or indicator signal. nhtsa should not allow it.

All 9th generation civics are equiped with stock under powered horns. saftey issue, since other cars won't hear it to avoid a collision. some dealers offer a horn upgrade, but the labor would be costly due to the fact that the bumper cover has to be removed and re installed.

Went out to start car, warning light for airbags went on. took to dealership and was told wiring harness was eaten through by rodents. then was told there is soy in the harness and this is a common problem. why is this not a recall? cost $1400 to fix. *tr

While driving on the freeway at 72 miles an hour my car all of a sudden lost power. the dash went completely black and my engine shut off. my steering was extremely stiff with limited range of movement, i feel the power steering shut down. i was able to drift into the open lane next to me and brake to a stop on the shoulder of the road. i attempted to restart my car and it started on the first attempt. continued to drive to my destination with no further trouble. i took it to the closest dealership a few hours later, they were unable to find any reason for the car shutting off while i was traveling down the freeway. they checked the cars computer and found no codes stored. they test drove were unable to duplicate the problem i had. they checked the battery and battery cables he noted they checked "ok". the tech noted he placed the "board on snapshot to stall". noting in case this problem occurs again they will have data to aid in diagnosis. they performed a software update hoping it helps to fix the problem. im not very comfortable driving my car now! very frightening experience!! i would hope honda can find a resolution to this problem before someone's loved one is injured or injures another in an accident due to the danger of the situation! *tr

Started vehicle and no radio station appear on led could not change channels or volume. after about 20 minutes channel appeared and i could change station and volume now. this has occurred 3 times within the last year. also the volume control knob flickers most of the time

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda civic. the contact stated that the volume of the horn was abnormally low. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who stated that the factory horn was performing as designed. the dealer recommended that the contact try purchasing an aftermarket horn from an auto parts retailer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 5.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda civic. the contact stated that while starting the ignition, the instrument panel cluster failed to illuminate. the malfunction recurred whenever the contact was driving at various speeds. the failure recurred in extremely hot or frigid weather. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to provide a remedy to perform a repair. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 35. the vin was unavailable.

This is my second 2013 civic within a year. my first one had an issue with the imid screen and radio. basically, this becomes an electrical issue that affects the rest of the vehicle. i also learned that the hard reset that was done to the vehicle could've did more harm than good. the imid would freeze, lag, blackout, the backup camera would stop working occasionally, my phone wouldn't pair occasionally, i couldn't use any of the steering wheel controls or the buttons on the radio sometimes either. eventually, my engine shut off while driving on the highway, my door locks would either lock really hard, not lock as programmed by the imid, or lock and unlock by themselves. i thought the dealer was going to do something about the situation and they treated the car as a trade after the car had been to the dealer 8 times for tests, the hard reset, and three fixes the corporation and dealer completely avoided me towards the end. i went ahead and got another 2013 civic and 2 days later, i had an issue with the rear-window defroster. after i had the car about a month, i was using the handsfree link, when i noticed my call info was not at the top of the screen when you have the gas mileage and range on the screen. the following month, i had an issue with the blower in the car fading in and out as i was parking. then another 2 months go by, the issues with the radio backlighting flickering and the imid start to occur again with this car. so far, i've had to wait for my car to start because it wouldn't start right away. occasionally, i have to start it twice, sometimes i can use the radio or the handsfree link just like with the last vehicle. i had an issue with the trunk, door locks, and the security acknowledgement system in this car as well. i have a weird noise while driving coming from the front and my doors aren't lined up on the body of the vehicle. *tr
