Hey r/hondacivic!

The previous moderator went inactive and let this sub go unmoderated for a while. I have added some new rules and changed a few content requirements in the sub (i.e. post flairs now required).

I'm open to requests and recommendations if anyone has any ideas to help improve the sub. May also be looking to grow the mod team here in the near future.

Please remember to report any spam posts to help keep the sub cleaned up.

Question Dashboard display not 100% showing

Hi! I have a 2012 Honda Civic EX, a while ago (maybe like a year ago) my little screen started displaying like this. It bothered me but not too much to care about it but honestly, it’s getting annoying now! Does anybody know what it could be exactly? I figured it’s like a little light bulb that needs to be replaced or something but I don’t really know anything about cars … does anyone know what it could be/what I need to do to fix this?

Back on Friday I ended up buying a 19 Civic because someone I thought I could trust badly damaged my paid off car at the time. I did not expect to get a Civic simply because I'm used to being in an SUV but I'm really enjoying it more than I thought.

A much-needed upgrade from my 2007 Civic with no ac, rust and 250k miles on it. This one was a one-owner vehicle and has only 80k miles on it and drives super solid. I’m still getting used to the new transmission though.

Mechanical Advice 2025 Hybrid Civic Battery

2 Upvotes

I have the opportunity to buy a civic that was a repaired car (bumper, radiator). The car has been sitting since it was repaired as it is not currently titled. It was driven by me 2 weeks ago to test it, but that's been it. I was going to be picking it up this weekend, but the owner said that the battery was dead, and it was a newer battery. My research leads me to believe that this is not that rare with hybrids where the 12v battery will die if it sits for an extended period due to parasitic draw.

The question I have is, should this concern me for some other electrical issue, or am I safe to assume this is simply due to an idle car?

My Honda recently had a red temperature warning come on. I went to the mechanic and. He said I had to change my radiator which I did but then the car also started backfiring. I had changed my spark plugs last year so the mechanic changed the coil plugs. But now, my dashboard shows power steering warning light and the VSA alert on top of that when I speed more than 120km/h the red temperature warning shows. I don’t know what to do please I need help

Question Is the drivers mat supposed to move this much?

1 Upvotes

2018 Civic, nothing fancy. The driver's mat keeps creeping forward after a few days of normal driving, mostly along the right edge near the gas pedal. I pulled it out, vacuumed the carpet, checked the anchor clips and it still slowly shifts. It isn't catching on anything but its annoying enough that i keep pushing it back with my heel. I’m not looking for a top rated list. I just want to understand what keeps a floor liner in place.

Is the anchor design the main factor or do the overall shape, raised edges, and backing grip matter just as much??

Question Love my civic. Don’t love corporate

1 Upvotes

I’m wondering how far into a buyback request anybody had gotten with severe liability issues? I have a 2025 Civic hatchback sport.

Long story short, my PCM and wiring harness were replaced due to a misfire in cylinder four at 6700 miles. I was left stranded with my kid and had to wait four hours on a tow truck. Warranty covered it.
At 12,000 miles I had to have the left strut replaced because it was popping. The dealer told me that it was safe to drive on and they didn’t have a loaner so my only option was to drive on a broken for two weeks. Then at 15,000 miles the right strut went out they replaced it and the dealer called me and said that it was still making a metal grinding noise so they had it an extra day to diagnose it when they found out that there was an extra nut left on the swaybar link from the factory. Somewhere between 8000 miles and the 15,000 I had told them that I was having an RPM surge at low speeds and then quoted the service bulletin 26-083. In which they told me to take it home and if it got worse or it threw a code to bring it back. I opened a case for a voluntary Goodwill buyback right after that.

The car isn’t quite at lemon law status for my state, but corporate has bounced me between them and Honda financial approximately 12 times. At this point, I don’t know what to do. Does anybody have advice on how to get them to take this seriously? Since this is clearly a safety liability issue for them and me.

Mechanical Advice Please help! Need to figure out what this annoying creaking noise is…

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The issue is on a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan with the 2.0L engine. I got 140,000 miles on it, and I had the brake pads replaced for front and rear at around 100,000 miles. I haven’t replaced the Rotors yet, also front CV axles were replaced at 100,000 miles as well. I would like to mention that I also have a dash cam hardwire and fuse taps running behind the driver airbags in the A pillar down to the fuse box. I zip tied all of the wires to make sure there was nothing loose or hanging. The video I attached is an audio file I converted to video to submit for this post. When I recorded this audio file I had my phone directly under my knees in the front driver side of the cabin right next to the wheel well. It happens at both low and high speeds going 20-80mph. I noticed it makes that creaking sound over any kind of bumps, even if it’s just the road being slightly uneven or the tiniest bumps. I made a stupid decision to replace my sway bar end link because of an assumption. The noise is still here after I replaced the end link. Before I replaced the sway bar end link I check on my cable management for my dash cam for any loose or hanging wires that might be tapping against the car whenever I drive but everything checks out. I’m at a loss right now and can’t seem to figure out what this annoying noise is. Could it be that my car is getting old now? Is it just the old plastics creaking against each other? I only hear this noise inside the cabin, even with the windows rolled down I can’t seem to pin point where it’s coming from outside. Any help would be appreciated! Im trying to see if anyone else on here has had this problem before I resort to going to the dealership…or a mechanic and unfortunately I don’t know of any trust worthy or reputable mechanics in my area.

Should I walk away from this or can 2013 civics at that age with those miles still have a healthy transmission?

Has only been owned by a grandpa that consistently took it in for maintenance. The engine is likely doing fine, just not sure about the transmission.

Any noises or movements I should feel for when test driving?

Question 2019 Honda Civic - Alarm / Seatbelt Sounds?

1 Upvotes

We have a 2019 Honda Civic Manual Transmission. For a while, the lock beep when locking via the keyfob has seemed really quiet. This week, we noticed it doesnt beep anymore at all. Today, my partner started to drive before realizing I did not have my seatbelt on, and I realized that the car also is not making the seatbelt alarm sound. We checked a dew fuses but they looked fine. We checked the keyless entry settings but those were all enabled / on. The car has (and has had) no other real issues over the years. It gets regular maintenance work and only probably has 100k miles on it. Anyone have any clue what might be causing these issues? Thank you.
