At a glance
- Next to the 2023
- At 41 complaints for each year on the road, the 2024 runs below the 2023 (64). That's the only adjacent model year with enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- No problem dominates. The largest, sticky steering, covers 19 of the 124 complaints (15%), and driver assist is next with 10 (one complaint can fall under more than one problem, so these overlap). Too few of the sticky steering reports give a mileage to say when it starts.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 14 of the 124 complaints (11%) report a crash, a fire or an injury. The typical vehicle on this site sits at 6%, so this one runs well above it. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 12 reports mention a crash, 1 mentions a fire and 11 people were hurt.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- 3 recalls are on file, but no problem here has enough reports to set against them.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2024 at 62 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 41. So far in 2026, 17 more have come in.

How this compares
124 complaints is about the median for a 2024 model on this site and 1.6 times the median 2024 sedan. Among the 13 Civic model years here it ranks 11th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
