2015 honda civic-ex (VIN #: [xxx]) dear sir, our referenced car has had numerous defects and deficiencies and is currently inoperable. While we've had to repair the car on numerous occasions within the past couple of years, what has occurred within the past 6 months has been nothing short of a nightmare experience; starting in february and continuing to the present day.

Your car's battery drains even when the vehicle is parked and off, despite having replaced the battery twice and the alternator once. Around the same time this started, your door locks began unlocking automatically when you approach within five feet of the car, and they lock then immediately unlock themselves when you try to lock from a distance. The underlying electrical issue causing the battery drain and erratic door lock behavior will likely require diagnostic testing to identify a parasitic drain or faulty door lock module.

It took 4 tries before my car would start. I went to auto zone to have the battery & alternator & starter tested. Battery was dead so I had it replaced.

All light appeared on the dashboard and we took the vehicle in for inspection. We learned that the VSA Modulator had failed and was a safety risk as it controlled the brakes. This needs to be recalled as the soldering was not done correctly when originally manufactured and this particular part has failed on a high percentage of the hondas that come equipped with the modulator. Please look into recalling this as many drivers have experienced their brakes locking up while driving due to this modulator failing.

The car started exhibiting signs of electrical issues like unable to start, unable to turn on, faster draining batteries in 2022. These issues lead to numerous appointments and visits to dealer and specialty shops. The battery, Starter, Alternators have all been tested and replaced costing thousands of dollars. The problem and escalated unabated despite these costly interventions. The electrical issues became a safety issue this week when after being jumped started, the electrical systems became unstable when driven. The radio and display cut in and out and started shaking when slowing or stopping. The car seemed about to cut out and disabled in traffic. When I returned home, the car was again completely dead. Another visit to dealer after previous visits mandated an “Overnight Draw Diagnostic Test” costing $162.50 to throughly investigate this issue. This overnight test required me to rent a car while this diagnostic was being conducted. The Honda dealer reported the cause and remedy of their test as Replacement The Right Front Outside Door Handle due to a “Large Parasitic Draw caused by The RF OUTSIDE SMART HANDLE DRAINING THE BATTERY REC TO REPLACE HANDLE AD FIRST STEP IN REPAIRS”. “Replaced the Right Front Door Handle, Reinstalled Door Panel, Set Vehicle up for A Draw Test, ReChecked and found No Excessive Draw At this time. Confirmed Repairs. The total cost of this repair was $836.64 pretax. Additional cost included rental car $462.00 This repair is clearly attributed to the Manufacturer and should have been covered as such. Additionally, given the escalating problems this design and engineering cost, it could be attributed to accidents and deaths.

Car key remotes both failed within the 7 years. They had to replace the SOP Fuse Box and Imobi Unit. The parts should not have failed within this time. The remote would open the trunk when the open and close feature was lightly touched and created a safety issue for the driver to secure the car and the alarm feature was not working. It was very costly to repair. With the cooperation of the car dealership, they reduced the cost to about $1300. This occured in August 2022.

My 2015 Honda Civic has 69070 miles on it. My car will straight out just stop in the middle of the road. The breaks and gas will stop engaging.

Vehicle battery would discharge over night resulting in a dead battery. Took the vehicle to dealer to fix. The problem was a parasitic draw on fuse 29 which was traced to a faulty front passenger lock actuator.

The driver door actuator to unlock the door is not working and the front passenger door lock actuator is not working. I had the back left actuator replaced before. I think it is a safety issue that needs to recalled.
