thanks, in advance.
Nobody can figure out what's wrong. There's talk it must be a design problem but I can't find many others with the problem.
Sounds like only the front brakes are working and not the rears. Without looking at it, I would suggest it's either the master cylinder or metering/proportioning valve not providing the correct pressure to the rear brakes. On occasion, I've seen rear wheel cylinders (and adjustment mechanisms) sieze up but not on a vehicle only 3 years old and I'm pretty sure you have 4 wheel discs so no mechanical "adjustment mechanisms". So, I'm guessing it's a hydraulic malfunction. If your front brake rotors aren't warped yet, they will be because of the heat. You should approach a dealer or better yet, Honda directly and provide them with receipts etc.
Rgds,

I almost certain that the bulk wiriing harness and even the IP read out pin connector head are all the same and the EX-L just has the temp sensor/harness that somewhere connects to main wiring harness.
It is too bad that Honda keeps this important feature to their cars with leather seats, when everone else offers it in their base models.

Any help with this matter would be helpful. Plan to take it into my mechanic on Monday morning.

2023 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD (wife) / 2015 Golf TSI (me) / 2019 Chevrolet Cruze Premier RS (daughter #1) / 2020 Hyundai Accent SE (daughter #2) / 2023 Subaru Impreza Base (son)
My 2013 Civic is doing the exact same thing to my husband and I. It's awful. The car is five months old and began making us increasingly ill over the past two months. It first began with headaches and then became much worse over the months, and now includes a metallic taste and the inability to drive the car for longer than five minutes or so--with the windows rolled down, even!--without getting seriously spaced out. That spacey/dizzy/headache feeling does not go away for a while; sometimes symptoms persist for 12 hours or more. Very scary.
We've brought it to two different Honda service areas now, and my husband was in the emergency room hours later with high blood pressure and bad neurological symptoms after driving the car 15 minutes to the last dealership while I followed behind in a rental car. It was very scary. He, too, was in perfect health before this car came into our lives.
I realize this is an old thread, but hopefully you still keep an eye on it... If so, can you share what ever became of your car? Was the problem able to be diagnosed?
We're not sure how to proceed beyond environmental testing of the car both while the car is off and on, to hopefully determine what is leaking into the cabin while driving that has a faint exhaust smell and metallic taste/sensation in the mouth and lungs. As it stands now, we can not drive the car because it makes us very sick. From Google searches, it looks like it could be engine refrigerant (R134a) possibly, but I'm just guessing from what I've read. Hopefully an environmental test can pull that up.
We had all services done properly at a dealership, and this is our third new Honda purchase since 2003, and the only one with a major defect. Not sure what to do from here, but know we can't get in the car without hurting ourselves and potentially others on the road (because it makes us so spacey/dumb after only a few minutes on the road that it's challenging to drive properly--afraid of causing an accident).
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

[Edit: Also, forgot to add: This happens regardless of whether the A/C or heater is on, and whether on recycle setting or not. It even makes you sick with the windows down and A/C and heat off, too, though with windows up it becomes very dangerous to be in there within mere minutes. That said, the "metallic taste" is much stronger with the AC on, and whatever is coming into the car from its faulty mechanics has soaked itself into the seats because now even before you start the car, you can smell that metallic exhaust-type smell faintly. I've never experienced anything like it.]
here is what I want you to do:
Contact the office of Glenn Thibeault Canada, speak with his assistant Noah tell him your issue.
pass on my name if you like. that office wrote Honda on my behalf. it was not successful. even the politicians cannot control the corporations who cheat and put the onus on the customer.
ask for a Canadian lemon law which is what I did .
this is called strength in numbers.
my car was tested for mould, metallic sounds chemical to me may be impossible to test for.
they are slapped together, therefore they leak simple
Good luck email me if you need me
front licence plateholder. But it is not. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
Also, there may be splash guards on the inner part of the fenders, or to the left and right of the engine oil pan--check all that as well. Often they are held on by rather flimsy fasteners that just pop off.
