Honda Civic Electrical System Safety Report | Aug 13, 2012
Reported on Aug 13, 2012
| THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE CAR IS IT ACTS LIKE IT IS POSSESSED. FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, THE CAR (WHEN PARKED) WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE ALL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLASH LIKE CRAZY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND THEN IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION IT WILL CONTINUE AND EVENTUALLY STOP. ONCE IT STOPS THE BATTERY IS THEN DEAD. THE CAR THEN NEEDS TO BE JUMPED AND WILL RUN FINE FOR AWHILE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CAR IS DRIVEN DAILY AND THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 4 TIMES. AS SUCH, THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE SINCE WHEN WE TAKE IT IN THE CAR IS FINE. THIS HAS US VERY CONCERNED WITH KIDS AND OURSELVES, AS THIS COULD OCCUR AT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE 2 DOOR COUPE THAT THEY SHOULD START SELLING WITH A SET OF FREE JUMPER CABLES AS AN ACCESSORY. *TR | |
