2026 Honda civic hybrid

After 3 months owning it brand new and a couple minutes driving it, it started to beep (as in to put your seatbelt on) and displayed my rear right seat to having an unbuckled person detected there..

When I got home I just slammed the door shut and it worked for a bit but it comes back maybe once a week or more.

But now, it’s detecting that the ‘person’ in my back seat is actually buckled in, which isn’t possible because I’ve never even buckled that seat before

I never use the back seats, only driver and front passenger. my car is clean I don’t have anything heavy in the back.

TLDR: 2026 Honda Civic Hybrid every once in a while (weekly or biweekly) detects a person in rear right seat, either unbuckled or buckled. Opening and shutting door stops it for a couple days but returns again. Also shows up after a while driving.

Is this a cause for concern? What could be the issue?

I cant find this part anywhere and/or Im not looking for the right name

Thinking of buyingg this car

Hey fellas, finally joining the Honda fan club!

I'd like to hear your opinions about my new baby!

Edit: just wanted to give a huge thanks to the community for all the feedback you gave, you really made me feel special and at home 💖

Anybody know how to take out the sunroof cover? I’m re doing my headliner right now and obviously would like for the headliner to match to the cover. Thank you in advance

I can’t play music I tried with USB and Aux it picks up on the screen whatever is connected but it won’t play music in the car but will play on my phone. I tried different cables still the same thing. When the USB is connected it’ll show IPod No Music. IPHONE 12 PRO MAX.

If I remember right, I think it was in Guatemala and yes, I was whooping that ass.

This started happening about a week ago. There is a tint on my windows as well. Some are actual scratches while others are just to the tint. A friend said it could be the motor for the door, but those would likely be vertical scratches. Any guidance helps.

EDIT: these scratches are on the inside

sorry if this is a really stupid question i don’t have anyone in my life who can help me with my car problems :( i don’t know what to do

here’s what happened: so i was driving back, had my headlights on cause it was dark. i then noticed my car’s red battery signal turned on while driving. when i parked my car and turned it off, it didn’t start again. so i was panicking but after 15 mins i tried again, it did start, though made a funny start up noise. then i turned it off to try starting it up again, and it wouldn’t start right after.

so i let it sit overnight, and this morning i tried starting it again and it started again, but again made a funny noise [video of this morning’s attempt is linked]. i drove my car around for a little too and all was fine? i haven’t touched it since, it’s been an hour but i want to check again?

some extra context: i’ve had a lot of battery issues with this car, have changed the battery like 3 times but i haven’t had any issues for 7 months until last night, and right after i turned on my headlights. any advice on what this could be?

thank you!! :)

I think we’re losing the plot here. Yeah, this car is beautifully kept, and the EK hatch looks great, but this is a DX automatic. I really don’t see how even the biggest EK enthusiast would want to come close to this price. I don’t want to hear it’s a good modding platform or whatever, again, automatic, and if you were trying to make some type of EK9 CTR, just go buy one, it will be cheaper! If the dealer was hoping to get someone just looking for reliable transportation from the golden age of reliable honda, well that’s insane because for this price that’s a terrible value proposition. These cars got popular as reliable used cars because they were like $3,000.

Am i completely off-base? is this the value we’re putting on these cars now?

edit: thought it might show up on that paper, but it’s covered, this is Canton Ohio, so not any place where prices are insane or whatever

Hey everybody so earlier today my check engine light came on so I scanned my car to see I have a P0172 code. I went to autozone and grabbed some MAF cleaner. Once I cleaned it and reinstalled it my check engine light turned off but this is still present when I scan. Any ideas on what I can check for next? I checked for any air-leaks and was not able to find any. Thanks in advance

Just got the car. Was driving down the highway in a semi- pulled out in front of me and threw a rock and now I got this right my vision whenever I'm driving 😭

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster, here.

I bought my Civic brand new in the fall of 2017. Like so many other 10th generation Civics, mine is starting to fall victim to an endless loop of A/C issues. I had the compressor replaced in 2021 and had the compressor shaft seals replaced last year. Recently, the A/C has been blowing hot out of the drivers side vents, but cool on the passenger side.

I took it to the dealership today hoping that it was just the shaft seals again and that it would be covered under warranty. Unfortunately, they said that the evaporator expansion valve is leaking and the evaporator’s fins are starting to become plugged. Of course, this is not covered under warranty and I was given an estimate of $2,500 for labor and parts.

Does anyone else have experience with this issue/diagnosis? What did you end up doing? I’m not a super experienced mechanic and am curious about what the community knows about this issue.
