So, I have had my Civic now for over a year now and have had nothing but a plethora of problems with it. I have always wanted a Civic, and finally was able to save up , trade in my Mustang, and get one. Over the past year it has been nothing but disappointment, after disappointment, after disappointment.
I figured I may have had a little buyers remorse, but now after only having it for about 20k miles, I have had more problems with this car than I have had with my previous 5 other cars combined ( 88 Cavalier Z24, 93 Ford Escort GT, 97 Dodge Avenger, 99 Grand Am GT, and 2015 Mustang )
Sound system is terrible. Subwoofer rattle is just incredible and I am a middle aged guy that doesnt pump the bass up at all. Certain frequencys will rattle the hell out of the car even in low volume settings.
Infotainment system - Some times my phone works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes Bluetooth will pick up, sometimes it wont. Try to play spotify, again..sometimes works...other times it doesnt. Side view camera mirror...sometimes it works, sometimes it wont shut off at all. Just randomly driving down the road and the camera will turn on and not go off without shutting the car off.
Remote Start...once again. Sometimes works, sometimes it doesnt. Can have clear line of sight and only be 20 ft from the car and it wont work. Other times I can be inside my apartment building..stick my key fob out the door and start my car from 200 ft away. Ended up having to buy an aftermarket remote starter...for a car that already has remote start...just to get the damn thing to be reliable.
Windshield cracked. Didnt get hit by a damn thing. There is not one mark on my windshield that would show any damage to it. Right above the rearview mirror, to the left hand side....a magic crack started at the top of the windshield and is now half way down to the passenger side now. Quick call to get it repaired left me in awe that I was quoted around $900 from Safelight due to the "rain sensing windshield" ( which seems to work in un-opportune times ) and that they were on backorder and it would be 3-4 weeks before they could even get a windshield. Also told me numerous other Civic owners are having the same issues.
Honda Sensing. No clue what causes the huge flashing "Break Now" screen to light up and car start beeping when I am on interstate at 2am with no traffic around me, but makes me nervous when it happens.
15k miles and have had all these issues, completely unacceptable. Have over 200k in my other cars combined and never had this many problems.
