I am reporting a serious and recurring safety defect involving my 2025 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid. This is the second occurrence of a serious vehicle malfunction, and the vehicle has experienced numerous other significant problems during my ownership. During the most recent incident, I was traveling approximately 45 MPH when the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power. I was unable to accelerate, the vehicle shut off while I was in the middle of the roadway, and the vehicle subsequently went into limp mode. At the same time, the vehicle displayed multiple warning lights and safety-system warnings, which I documented in a video. The ABS system is still not functioning, and the…

On a two way lane highway, vehicle detects on coming traffic and causes sudden deceleration of vehicle and braking which can cause being rear ended by another vehicle. This also occurs on multi lane freeways when going in the same direction the vehicle will detect a vehicle in the lane next to me braking and again cause the vehicle to decelerate and brake which could cause an accident. Occurs at least once or twice a week. I have a video of the issue which might be better
Sep 25, 2025Forward collision avoidance › Automatic emergency braking
Driving about 40 mph on a rural road, coming up to a curve in the road (or already in the curve when suddenly the 2025 Honda civic hybrid sedan sport touring beeped fast and then immediately braked hard. There was no car in front of me but there was a car coming towards me in the opposite direction. There was no fog or rain, it was daytime. Believe the CMBS caused this. If a car would have been close behind me, I may have been rear ended. Also, if this happened on snow or ice, would have lost control. Did not take it to the dealer as others have stated, they could not find the problem. I believe the dash showed â Brakeâ just as it happened but nothing before.

While driving down the highway, my sunroof suddenly and unexpectedly shattered without any external impact with no warning. My safety was put at risk because the glass exploded all over me and couldâve caused an accident had I been around other drivers. The dealer told me it was hard to determine if this was a defect or something hit my car and stated I need to bring it into them specifically for inspection, I havenât done so yet expecting that this will result as my fault so Iâm taking precaution before going there.

2025 honda civic hybrid just over 3000 miles has developed a ticking noise when I turn the steering. Took it to the dealership was told it was normal. If this is normal for Honda they just lost a future customer

Sunroof spontaneously exploded on the highway. Was maintaining a good distance between my car and the car in front of me, so I doubt it was a rock that was kicked up that broke my sunroof. Glass looks like it broke from inside out.

The vehicle unexpectedly began accelerating from a creep with no accelerator input. Acceleration ceased immediately as soon a the brake pedal was touched. No actual braking was required--simply a touch on the pedal. Acceleration was as if the accelerator pedal had been pressed about 1/4 down. It lasted about 1.5 seconds from initiation to touching the brake pedal. The pavement was not on a grade but was substantially level. This is the 3rd or 4th such incident in the last few months. In the other incidents I was unsure if it was my imagination or some unrelated factor like grade. In previous incidents I had been about to accelerate in any case, and pressing the accelerator overtook it. In…
Jul 3, 2025Electrical system
On [XXX], at about 3,500 miles, the subwoofer speakers in my 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring began rattling persistently at moderate volume (14-15), disrupting the entire audio system. The component malfunctioned, no âfailureâ in the traditional sense, but it renders the sound distorted and unusable, far from the advertised premium sound quality on Hondaâs website. Itâs still in the vehicle, available for inspection if requested. This doesnât directly risk physical safety, no crash or injury, but it severely impairs the driving experience, as the audio system is a key feature I rely on, now reduced to a constant, irritating rattle. The problem has been reproduced and…
