2019 Honda Civic Electrical System

My car started sounding its alarm at 2:30am on its own. After shutting the alarm off and letting it run, I turned it off and entered my house. It repeated five minutes later. I went to drive the car later that day and the battery was inoperable and the acid has neutralized or evaporated. I replaced the battery and the issues continued. Dealer said is was a fuse box issues. Due to cost, I brought the car home. Consulted another mechanic and it is an issue with the Body Control Module. It takes multiple tries to start the car, the fob doesn't lock the car, and it will go into accessory mode by itself.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the center console power independently disconnected. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring since June 2019. The contact stated that the vehicle had been taken to the dealer three times previously and the failure was diagnosed. The computer system and the center console were replaced. The contact was also advised not to connect the cellphone to the center console. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was informed that the failure was unresolvable. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,475.

Eventually the failure progressed, and the vehicle was not able to be started. The battery was replaced and the next day the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the starter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.

The Honda touchscreen doesn’t work (but the camera does). I can’t access the radio, A/C, maps, phone, air bags, tire pressure, etc. This makes me uncomfortable driving without vehicle safety access.

I have noticed steering wheel stiffness/notchiness when traveling at varying road speeds. The issue is present when turning the wheel left and it takes more force than usual to return the wheel back to the normal position with audible clicks/groans heard when turning/returning the wheel to neutral. During highway driving, it takes more effort than usual to maintain the vehicle within the lane, like the car is fighting against you. I brought the car into the dealership while still in warranty and the vehicle was misdiagnosed as a sway bar coupler link issue. Having completed their repair recommendations, the issue still persisted and I brought the car back for further evaluation. The car is now out of warranty, and the dealership is stating it is an electric issue with the EPS. The way the part is engineered, the entire EPS rack must be replaced which would cost me upwards of $4200. I will be in contact with corporate Honda in regards to this, as the issue was brought to their attention while the car was under warranty, misdiagnosed, and now I am expected to pay out of pocket for the repair out of warranty. This issue has only gotten worse as time progressed and I am becoming increasingly concerned about my safety and anyone who drives my vehicle due to a manufacturer defect. Research online through the NHTSA website as well as other Honda Civic Forums show hundreds, if not thousands of other Civic owners experiencing the same issue I am and being expected to pay out of pocket for this manufacturer defect. I urge the NHTSA to take action and demand Honda to recall this product as it clearly stems from an engineering fault, not the consumer, and poses a massive safety risk to anyone driving a 2016-2021 Honda Civic.
