I am seriously considering a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback EX and I am comparing among the hatchback rivals, such as Mazda3, VW Golf, Hyndai Elantra, Ford Focus
When I compared the complaints among these cars for the 2017 model at below website, although it does not specify hatchback/sedan models, I am surprised that Honda Civic has the second highest complaints and way more than Golf, Mazda, and Ford! (Elantra 14 vs Civic 12 vs Golf 4 vs Mazda3 1 vs Ford 1)

I think all of them have similar popularity, so I don't think it is because more people got a Civic and so more complaints.
Another worrying point is that some of the complaints are quite serious:
1. Transmission problem - One reported an accident as the Civic Hatchback slipped out of Park (with photos there), and one complained the CVT transmission not working properly.
2. Brake Failure
3. Engine Problem - sudden acceleration
4. Head-rest angle causing neck pain and not sufficient support to lumbar
I just want to ask 2017 Civic folks (especially Hatchback), have you ever encounter similar issues? The first three complaints are quite serious as they are related to the safety for my family directly. And for the fourth type...I guess we all want a comfortable road trip, right?
Any comments? Thank you for your sharing in advance!!
