Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Electrical System · reported Oct 8, 2026
Upon starting the car, all of a sudden, the IMID display area screen went white. I turned off the car and I restarted it, and it turned white and then immediately went black. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the incident. So now I do not get alerts for an open door or tire pressure or maintenance and other notifications. This is a concern, especially when have young children in the vehicle.
Unknown or Other · reported Oct 2, 2026

Many people here drive newer vehicles…
Air Bags · reported Jun 21, 2026
I bought a 2014 Honda Civic LX at a used car dealership. The day after I bought it, the passenger-side occupant position sensor came on. I returned the car, and they reset it. It came on again, was reset, and when it came on again, it was replaced. The new one came on again. This time I took it to my Honda dealer, and they reset it. It came on again, and I've been living with it since.I am concerned it might go off unexpectedly or worse, not go off in a crash. I see other years have this as a recall, but my car doesn't come up with a recall.

Vehicle has been inspected by independent service center and local Honda dealership. No warning lamps/messages or stores codes. 1. Vehicle shakes at idle; periodically jerks and lurches when driving (RPMs, current gear are not relevant, no correlation). 2. When letting off the gas to “coast,” vehicle drops in speed abruptly as if the brakes are being applied which results in a “jolt.” The consequence is the vehicle essentially braking without…
