“I have started to get a check air bag system warning light on my dashboard. It doesn't happen when I start the car, but occurs at some point while driving. The diagnosis is a bad steering wheel position sensor. The car has never been in an accident; there's no problem with the rack and pinion; and the air bag has never deployed.”

“Honda Civic 2014 lx brake and steering problem I was pulling out our Honda Civic lx 2014 from the parking lot. After reversing I changed to drive gear and was moving forward at 5 to 8 MPH. There was a left turn and when I tried to make the turn, suddenly the steering and brake got stuck and the car hit a building, airbags got exploded and my wife who was pregnant for 6 months was severely injured. The car got totaled. Request an investigation so that this should not happen to anyone else in the future. Thank you”

“On al sr149 green springs highway, southbound, less than 500 feet from the oxmoor rd intersection, in the right lane, I hit a pothole with my front passenger tire. I did not notice the pothole while driving, but that didn't stop it from knocking the wheel out of allignment and bursting the tire. I had to use the emergency tools to change the tire on the side of I-65 after my TPMS sensor went off. If I had not decided to buy a spare tire months ago, I would be set back at least $150 dollars. Please be more vigilant in ensuring safe driving conditions in the future.”

“Honda Civic 2014 - The right CV axle (drive shaft) was corroded and detached causing the vehicle to become immovable while in traffic. Fortunately, we were near a stop light and traffic was going slow and able to go around the vehicle without causing a crash. The vehicle had to be towed. This same issue is already a recall for the Honda Accord 2013-2015. We had this same thing happen to our 2013 Honda Accord at a major traffic intersection. Again, the vehicle had to be towed and repaired. The remaining side was replaced via Honda recall. …”

“I was approaching a green light, and engaged the brakes to slow down. As I approached the light reaching approximate 10MPH. The car shuddered, and the alternator must have glitched again.The wheel cranked itself back and forth, causing the car to spin and turn into oncoming traffic. This issue has been recalled for this vehicle but not this VIN. I have notified 3 Honda repair shops of this issue, and have been turned away. The problem is with the electromagnet in the electric steering column. It is well documented, and I have video of several instances of thi issue occurring. …”
