There's an electrical issue that is affecting the A/C connection. The compressor belt won't turn and it's due to the electrical issue. The fuse box over heats and turns on the "Check engine" light. Most Hondas have this same A/C issue but the problem is the faulty fusebox and fuses that are causing electrical issues to the rest of the car making it dangerous to drive.

The paint on this blue Honda Civic 2010 has been wearing away for years. There’s chips of paint missing on the hood. There is paint wear on the roof in two wide strips, on the trunk all over and the fenders. Also, the roof, when washed by auto carwash, buckles in when being dried so you can tell metal is thin. There’s definitely a defect in these civics I see them all over the place and every blue one almost has worn paint just like mine! Honda had to have done something wrong with these paint jobs, they should repaint them for free!

Air BagsOct 2022 · ODI 11488784Details +Close −
I purchased a used Honda Civic last summer. This year I started receiving recall notices. I did not respond until the notice told me that they could provide a loaner because I don't have a ride to drop off and pick up the vehicle. I have made at least 4 attempts over the last couple of months to remedy the airbag situation, but the Honda representatives were not willing to set up a loaner vehicle. Then when they finally seemed like it would happen, I was told that I don't have the right insurance and they won't do it for that reason. I know the company needs to fix millions of these air bags and are trying to save money but, I need them to fix mine too. Now they say they can't accommodate my situation. I am asking Honda to please fix my airbag. The attached flyer states that it is dangerous and deadly and that they would do it. Thank you

Air BagsAug 2022 · ODI 11481606Details +Close −
Airbag deployed unexpectedly while I was driving through a construction zone - I think it was right when I drove onto a metal construction plate. This would have been very bad if a car was right behind me. I do not have the car for inspection, since due to the cost of replacing the airbag system my insurance declared it a total loss and picked it up for salvage although the car was otherwise in great working condition with no other damage. However I have many pictures of my car from all angles that were taken for insurance purposes. No one else inspected the car in person before it was picked up since my insurance wanted to do a virtual inspection. There were zero warnings of the problem before it happened.

I recently read about NHTSA ID Number: 11469938 It made me realize I have the same problem although not as bad. My driver side sun visor is split at the seam. This causes it to hang slightly lower but does not completely block my view of the road. I have never had it inspected/replaced, but after reading about the complaint case above, I am worried the same may happen to my visor in the future (i.e. visor will flop down and block my view of the road).

The sun visor keeps splitting at the seam. When that happens it'll no longer hold itself in place and it will flop down blocking my view. At this point I've replaced both sun visors 3 times since I bought the car, about once every 3 years in the summer. This started happening at about 80,000 miles. Whatever adhesive Honda is using to put these together don't hold up in the heat. You can feel the visors getting soft and bending in the heat until it inevitably breaks. It can't be usage either since both the driver and passenger side fail at about the same rate and the passenger sun visor rarely gets used.

While driving to work on December 20th, all of my curtain air bags and driver side air bags deployed without cause or warning. I brought it in to a Honda dealership to be inspected and I was told I was at fault even though it was an equipment error. There were no lights on my dash indicating the sensors on my 2010 Honda civic were not functioning properly. Thankfully I was not on any highway during the the incident or more serious trouble could have occurred. There was a ringing in my left ear for days after the incident.

MY 2010 MODEL YEAR HONDA CIVIC WITH THE 1.8L R18A1 4-CYL ENGINE WILL NOT MAINTAIN ITS NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE DURING THE COLD WINTER MONTHS. THE ENGINE TAKES A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WARM UP, WHETHER IT IS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY OR BEING DRIVEN IN THE CITY/HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN USING THE HEAT TO WARM UP THE CAR. IF I TRY TO USE THE DEFROST SETTING, THE CAR WILL NOT REACH ITS NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE AIR BEING BLOW OUT IS LUKEWARM. EVEN IF I WAIT UNTIL THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP, IF I ATTEMPT TO USE THE DEFROST, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE ENGINE'S TEMPERATURE, I MUST KEEP THE DEFROST SET BETWEEN THE HOT AND COLD INDICATORS ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL KNOB. THIS POSES AS A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE AIR BEING BLOWN OUT DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY DEFROST MY WINDOWS. I ALSO DO NOT WANT TO DAMAGE MY ENGINE AND HAVE IT RUN TOO COLD. ANY OUTSIDE TEMPERATE BELOW 30 F IS WHEN THE ENGINE SEEMS TO STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING A NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATE.

WIPER BLADES MAKES LOUD RUBBING NOISE, BECAUSE WIPER ARMS ARE PRESSED VERY HARD AGAINST WINDSHIELD CAUSING FRICTION BETWEEN THE BLADES AND WINDSHIELD. I INSTALLED NEW WIPERS FROM SAM'S CLUB, STILL LOUD NOISE IS NOT GOING AWAY. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW CIVIC IN 2010, BUT DUE TO LIGHT USAGE MOSTLY IN DRY DAYS, I IGNORED THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN RAIN OR SNOW DUE TO POORLY DESIGNED WIPER ARMS OR WIPER ASSEMBLY. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 54,000 MILES SINCE 2010.

IN 2012 I PURCHASED A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SUN VISORS BREAKING. AT FIRST MY WARRANTY COVERED THE COST AND THEN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $150.00 EACH TIME I HAD TO REPLACE. THE ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IN THE SUN LIGHT OR THE EVENING, DUE TO THE BROKEN SUN VISORS DANGLING IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. ENCLOSED ARE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN SUN VISORS PASS AND PRESENT. I WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE ONCE AGAIN FOR MY SAFETY, DUE TO THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT BY MY HEAD WHERE THE SUN VISOR WAS ATTACHED TO. I DID CALL HONDA CORP AND REPORT THE ISSUE ONLY AGAIN AND THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THE POINT OBJECT BY MY HEAD. I TOOK MY HONDA TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SUN VISOR. BOTH THE SERVICE PERSON AND MECHANIC HAD TO CAREFUL PLACE THEMSELVES IN MY HONDA TO ENSURE THEY DID NOT POKE THE HEAD ON THE SHARP POINTY OBJECT.
