Honda Civic in Massachusetts, United States Sep 2017 - Jan 2022
Nov 2017 1000 mi	The brakes squeak when coming to a stop. This is due to the racing nature of the really powerful and fade-free brakes. They also leave a good bit of brake dust on the wheel rims. After discussing it with some other Type R owners, I decided to leave them be for now at least. When they are worn out, I may switch over to less aggressive pads to quiet the squeaks. Otherwise the car drives fantastically well. Snow tires have made the handling predictably a little less responsive during cornering, but so far no problem at all with traction on snow.

Honda Civic in Ohio, United States May 2017 - Jun 2022
Aug 2018 48000 mi	Hope this is labeled correctly? Not exactly a repair, but at the time worrisome to me. Civic's very sensitive tire pressure sensors flashed "check tire pressure". I did. Less than 1 lb. difference. But prior to resetting the system, I used radio without motor on. Upon restarting vehicle, ALL the dashboard lights flashing "recheck ABS", "recheck TPNS", "Recheck Brakes", etc. over and over! Very startling display, frightening, as if car falling apart. Computer check at repair shop revealed no problems with vehicle. Internet reports this story with Honda Civics, perhaps other models? All systems reset, no charge. But I don't need my vehicle to be this sensitive!! Honestly.

Jan 2018 21700 mi	Battery has been sluggish to start in the cold weather, so I had the battery checked by Auto Zone, who said it was fine. When left more than a couple days without starting, it cranked even slower. After leaving town for a week, the car had to be jumped to start. Did self-diagnosis of parasitic draw using ammeter and checked voltage drop over each fuse using voltmeter. Couldn't identify source of draw so I had dealer check it while it was in for routine service. I'm not sure how much time they spent in diagnosing (they didn't charge me anything), but they said they would need at least 2 hours of time (at $115/hr) to do further troubleshooting. I decided to live with it for now, since it still starts in the morning, even with sub-zero temperatures.

Honda Civic in Alabama, United States Jun 2016 - Jul 2018
Jul 2016 19314 mi	AC expansion valve replaced under warranty
Feb 2018 35981 mi	An information warning came on that said "Tighten Fuel Cap." It had been at least a week since the last fill-up. I shut off the engine, removed the fuel cap and then put it back on, twisting it to hear the recommended three clicks. After starting and stopping the engine, and running a few errands, I brought it into the dealer with 19 miles left on the original warranty. The assistant service manager ran diagnostics which said Evaporative Leak and then cleared the warning. He said to drive it 100 miles and see if the warning returns. I asked for written verification that I had visited for the problem but he said running diagnostics and resetting the warning would not require a service department invoice. If this comes up after 19 miles, I'll be out of warranty.
