What owners wrote

I am reporting a structural manufacturing issue on my 2018 Honda Civic. The vehicle is currently grounded at Caliber Collision in Ceres, CA. A certified structural facility (Caliber Collision) has documented that the factory sheet metal seams are splitting open in both front wheel wells and the center floor area directly under the driver’s seat. The vehicle was involved in a minor right-side accident on [XXX] (fully repaired), and a minor left-side accident on [XXX].

August 2026 CrashInjury

While vehicle is stationary for a few days, the back windshield shattered out of nowhere. The fuel system has been getting error codes. Air conditioning also runs hot instead of cold sometimes. Engine light comes on a lot.
