Owner Complaints (21)
Your front drive shaft has developed significant rust and broke in the middle section, which isn't the typical failure point. While there are recalls for this model year, your specific vehicle wasn't included, and the unusual break pattern suggests the shaft may have been defective from the factory or was previously replaced under a recall. This will require replacing the damaged drive shaft to restore your car's ability to transfer power to the wheels.

While attempting to pull into traffic, your car's engine remained running but wouldn't respond to the gas pedal, leaving you unable to accelerate. You were able to coast downhill to safety, where a mechanic found that your axle had broken due to a rotted rubber gasket with no prior warning signs. The repair involved replacing the axle assembly and gasket.

Vehicle is showing multiple codes for abs, hill assist, power steering , brakes etc.
My 2014 civic that i baby the CVT transmission stopped working and ive seen recalls about them why dosent mine have 1 when i lookup my vin
Brake System, Power Steering System, ABS System, VSA System, and Hill Start Assist System lights randomly turn on all at the same time. This causes the car to jerk and have problems accelerating. Turning the steering wheel makes noises below the car. I've taken it to an independent service (shop) three times and they can't find out what is wrong. They have already refreshed the codes and checked the sensors. I changed tires and took it to auto zone, but shows no signs of any problems. The fact that it randomly turns on and starts causing all these problems, makes it hard and risky to drive anywhere. I've already had to tow it once because the jerking got so bad that pressing on the gas would not even drive/accelerate. Luckily there were not many cars near me and I was able to get far enough to find a safe place to park. I've read my blogs with people having the same problems. All have not been able to diagnose the problems and that's why they've turned to the blogs. Not knowing when these system warning lights will turn on makes it unpredictable to drive, diagnose, and fix.
On March 31, 2023 while driving on I 10 from Gulfport, Ms towards Diamondhead, Ms the glass sunroof exploded for no expiable reason. I observed no discernible reason for the glass sunroof failure. Other than being startled at the loud noise, and spending $ 480 for a replacement glass sun roof, there is nothing else to add. The loud noise might cause some drivers to loose control, and traffic safely might be affected. I called a Honda dealer, explained my circumstance, they ran my vin, and there was no recall. The glass failure is in the comprehensive insurance bucket, and with my deductible, the loss was an out of pocket expense. I used Dunaway Glass in Gulfport, Ms for glass sunroof replacement. I think think they were replacing a Honda glass sunroof the day I called to make the appointment, and my sunroof glass was one of two glass sunroofs ordered together. Please verify my recollection with Dunaway. There was no warning, in any manner, at all. The glass exploded and caused me to become distracted, there was no subsequent accident.
In august 2022 I noticed a noise in my 2014 Honda Civic, I took it to my normal mechanic and was told the noise was coming from the transmission and it indicated that the transmission was failing. I took it to the local Honda dealership and was told they checked with Honda directly and there was no problem with my transmission and some vehicles just had that noise. At that time I had just over 52,000 miles on the car. In March 2023 I drove my car from IL to CO, about 200 miles from Denver the RPMs started fluttering and at one point the car accelerated without pressing on the gas. Shortly after the check transmission light came on. We got the car to a Honda dealer in Golden, CO and were told the transmission had an internal failure and had to be replaced. I paid a total of $8,600 to replace the transmission. I asked to have the old one back but was told that would cost $1,200. At this point my car had around 56,000 miles on it. Honda has refused to reimburse me at all for my transmission failing at such low mileage due to the car being 8 years old. I've researched and learned that Honda has a long term issue with their CVT transmissions yet did not take any responsibility for this failure.
Vehicle has been jerking and hard to steer at times so checked under the hood and noticed the Transmission fluid CVT Plugg was just laying there, on top of the transmission. I bought a new plug from Honda dealer, Bought CVT oil, filled up and a week later there it is again, laying ontop of the transmission. Filled it up once again and placed the CVTPLUG boot back! Reading through honda forums it seems this has been a problem. Hondas recalls for the transmission must of missed this one because the manufacture date was may of 2014. A concern for myself and family in the vehicle since this honda didnt give me a warning saying the fluid is low or plug is off, Major safety hazards considering the car can lock up on the highway and possibly life threatening. Can we please get some answers
Emergency break (break) button is unstable and easily broken. Ebrake has been stuck were it was unable to perform it's function because of broken button. Part is in back order and my car may not be able to use ebreak sometimes. It can roll of not on stable ground or in gear when parked.
The cvt transmission plug keeps popping out and fluid comes out causing it to be low on fluid I was driving and it suddenly stop and locked up .
While driving the car we had heard an explosion and glass shattering. We looked around and couldn’t see any damage. I had pulled back my sunroof and saw it was completely shattered outwards, not inwards. My sunroof was made out of tempered glass, which these types of sunroofs have a tendency of randomly combusting.
FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR, I REALIZED THAT THE FILL PLUG OR DIPSTICK OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION KEEPS POPPING OUT OF THE FLUID HOLE SPILLING OIL ALL OVER THE TRANSMISSION METAL CASE. THE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG OTHER HONDA CIVIC 2014 OWNERS. I NOTICE THAT THE ISSUES IS MORE COMMONLY AFTER TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY TO LONG DISTANCES. THE ISSUE ALSO CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN DRY AFTER SPILLING ALL THE FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE, AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL VEHICLES TO FIX THE ISSUE.
I HAVE A 2014 HONDA CIVIC WITH 136000 ON THE CAR THAT HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM STARTING. SOME 2014 HONDA CIVIC WERE RECALLED FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM YET MY VEHICLE, 2014 CIVIC MODEL MISS THE RECALL. ALL CIVICS HAVE A PRETTY SIMILAR SETUP AS FAR AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. AS FAR AS HONDA GOES THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THERE ENGINES LASTING A WHILE AND HAVING NO ISSUES YET I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT IS YET UNKNOWN AND WILL COST AT LEAST 5K TO FIX. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS THE CARS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DOWNSHIFT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS CAR HAS A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION YET WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUMPS GEARS, YOU GET THE FEELING AS IF YOU ARE ON A MOTORCYCLE AND IT STALLS AND JUMPS FORWARD. ALONG WITH THAT THERE'S A SLIGHT NOICE THAT IS WORKING OVERTIME. (INCIDENT OCCURS AROUND 2MPH-65)

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD, GUNSHOT LIKE SOUND AND GLASS STARTED FALLING ON ME. MY SUNROOF HAD JUST APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN HIT WITH SOMETHING OUT OF NOWHERE. I SAFELY PULLED OVER AND BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT APPEAR TO HAVE HIT IT BUT ONLY FOUND THE GLASS APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN HIT FROM THE INSIDE. THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED BUT LUCKILY DIDN'T FALL COMPLETELY APART.

MY SON HAD A CAR ACCIDENT ON 1/30/2016. A COUPLE OF CARS IN FRONT OF HIM HAD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE A SQUIRREL WAS CROSSING THE STREET. HIS VELOCITY WAS APROX. UNDER 30 MILES. WHEN HE HIT THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT RESPOND INMEDIATELY AND THIS RESULTED IN A CAR CRASH WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. THE AIRBAG ALSO DEPLOYED. THIS HAPPENED ON A STREET CLOSE TO OUR HOME.
