2016 HONDA Civic

Date above was repaired by replacing the power steering gear box 53650-TBC-A22 after returning it to the dealer twice previously and try found no problem. Now again on 02/20/23 mileage 98850 I have the same problem and the dealer say they can replace that same part with a part number 248360 for $3822. Upon asking if it was safe to drive I was told they could not say.

Fuel is leaking into the oil. The dealer just suggested changing the oil more often. I know this is a defect but what can I do?

The electrical system is not reliable….one day my passenger window would not work from my control on the driver\'s side. Finally it did.

They replaced once and then \"updated\" the infotainment system once because of very disruptive things that happen on the screen. Once it totally locked up my iPhone so that I could not use it even after I shut the car off and rebooted my phone! Once I got locked out of my car after opening the trunk and closing it…my Fob would not work and when I used the key, it set off the alarm, flashed the lights and reset all my personal settings. Many times the radio screen goes black when I am driving and not touching it. One time it started beeping and would not stop….very dangerous as I try to drive. And, my windshield wipers are VERY sporadic….does not matter if I try resetting them to auto….when it is not raining they go crazy, when it IS raining they stop….sometimes they work, sometimes they don\'t. I have to spend too much time trying to get the car systems to work while driving that this is as dangerous as can be. The electrical system of this car is a lemon…and has been from the start. I have at most about 9,000 miles on this car but started noticing glitches long before 6,000. This is the TOP of the LINE car in this model.

I have had many issues with this car since I bought it, now my car is out of warranty and I am stuck with the AC not working. I took my car to Sussex Honda in Newton, NJ for an oil change and asked them to check the AC unit. They told me that it seemed as though a rock hit the AC condenser and it leaked out the freon. It would cost approximately $600 to fix. I researched online and saw multiple complaints of the AC not working, or that it was leaking. I had my Dad take apart the front of my car and we checked to see where the road hazard damage was. We couldnt find the damage so I called Sussex Honda back to see if I could take my car back in and have them show me the road hazard damage or the hole caused by the rock or where it was leaking. They told me it would cost $325 to bring the car back in and have it be diagnosed. Something didnt seem right so I contacted Honda corporate and was told to go to Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains, NJ. The assistant service manager I dealt with was already aware of the issues with the AC leaking on these models and was willing to take a look at my car. Upon getting a second opinion from Route 23 Honda, they found that my car had a leaking AC condenser AND compressor, and that all of the freon was leaked out. They found there was NO road hazard damage, but that it was apparently a manufacturers defect. They were trying to help me as best they could, but because my car was out of warranty, the cost to repair it would not be covered. They filed a claim through a Honda Good Will program. The program came back and said they would pay 50/50 to help with the costs. The amount I would owe would be $842, and I believe that was before taxes. I spent so much money on a Honda because I thought it would be a reliable car, but I was wrong. I can barely afford my payments as it is, let alone spend another almost $900 to have an AC unit fixed when it has known issues. I have just contacted the EPA, about this issue because this is a known problem. There must be thousands of Hondas on the road that are leaking this refrigerant which is not good for the environment. I called the lady back from Honda corporate, her name was Amber and phone number is 1-800-999-1009 extension 87030 and she basically said that the Good Will offer stands and there isnt much she can do. I told her that I was going to contact the EPA, and she responded that Honda does not put out their own recalls, and these products have not been recalled. I need some sort of help with this issue because I want a working AC unit and I dont think its fair that there are thousands of these cars that are being effected and some people may not even know their AC has a problem, until its out of warranty. I really dont think its right that I should have to pay anything at all to have this issue fixed when its apparently a manufacturers defect, regardless of my car being out of warranty or not. Even if I did pay to have this issue fixed, will I have the same problem 2 years down the road again? Also, Sussex Honda should not be telling people that there is road hazard damage to these products from rocks hitting the units and causing these problems. That is wrong and they are scamming people out of money. I am thankful for all the help I received from Route 23 Honda, although I cannot afford to have this problem fixed, and I should not have to pay to fix Honda\'s known issues. The major major problem with the AC not working is that it is unsafe to drive like that. The kind of weather we have been having recently has been muggy, humid, hot weather. Then it rains and fogs up the windshield. I was driving on a major highway in the rain and couldn\'t see out of my windshield because i didn\'t have a working defogger in my car due to the AC not working. This is extremely unsafe as I could not pull over on a major highway and risk having another car slam into me on the highway, and I really couldn\'t see anything out of my windshield. I couldn\'t open my windows either because the rain was coming down so heavy. If this problem is not recalled, it is going to cause major problems, it is a safety issue that needs to be addressed, these products need to be recalled. Any help that you could offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Tire Pressure Monitor Problem. After replacing (2) flat tires over a 3 month period with the same brand, model, size and style of tire as the OEM, I now get a Tire Pressure Monitor warning constantly illuminated, even after checking tire pressures and recalibrating the TPMS. According to Honda dealership this is a known issue with Honda TPMS systems since the system uses wheel speed not sensors to detect differences in tire pressures. As a result there is no known solution other than to replace multiple tires at once. What is supposed to be a safety feature / convenience is now a nuisance

Fuel dilution of engine oil. Halfway through oil life at 7700 km on engine oil, the oil was found to be 9.7% fuel dilution by volume. The sample was taken by the Honda dealer and I submitted it to Wear Check for analysis. This Civic averages 40km/day and is operated in the Cowichan Valley which has the highest mean temperature in Canada. The outside air temperature rarely goes below zero in winter. The Wear Check report noted the fuel dilution was Severe and the oil viscosity was Abnormal.

Paint peeling on bottom of left front bumper. Car is garaged. Am bringing car in to Honda store where I bought it on 3/12/18 for problem to be photographed and sent to whatever Honda department is appropriate for review. No repair attempt has been made yet. This is definitely a manufacturing deficit!

A rodent crawled up into the engine compartment and chewed up the wires to coil connector. It made all of the dashboard warning lights to come on and the engine was shaking due to the mis-firing coil. It is Honda fault because they covered/made the wires with SOY, which attracts rodents. My 2016 Civic is less than 2 years old with 9,500 miles, Honda claims it is not covered under the warranty. Honda then, wanted to sell me a $500 engine wiring harness, this is ridicules, because it doesn\'t resolve the problem, the rodents will be attracted to the new wire harness too. They also wanted to sell me Spicy Rodent Tape for $48, this is a scam, Honda needs to fix this problem, they will be losing loyal customers.

soybean wiring attracting animals. All electrical, abs system locked due to animals, first incident 3 months into owning the car. Over 6k in the last year in repairs.

Engine eaten by rats due to the soy coils and wiring; when car was in for repairs the car came back with more problems then it went in with; car has had to have 4 alignments still won\'t hold an alignment; shakes so bad the rear view mirror shakes; it rocks; swerves; dealer tells me its the groves in the road; car feels like its going to die when first turned on until car is warmed up dealer tells me all this is normal; I can\'t keep control of this vehicle the stability is horrible; I don\'t feel safe in this vehicle; have taken it in numerous times to dealers to rectify the situations and they tell me the car is fine.

Honda use soy on wires because is cheaper than plastic ,but it attract rats and rodents that love to chew on it .witch result in car crash and expensive repairs .I have a new 2016 honda car 6 months old witch I had to pay 1481 $ even though I have a 5 years engine warranty.
Honda makes money out of those repair an average of 100 cars come to every dealership every year :

Car stops responding to the remote control. Cannot unlock doors or trunk. Must use manual key.

See video: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=NNbiWHk2tbg

It\'s difficult to repro, but here are the steps:
1. Open the trunk.
2. Close the trunk
3. Observe that both turn signals are solidly lit
4. Observe that the car no longer responds to the remote.

At this point, the only way to unlock the door is to take out the emergency key – which will then trigger the theft alarm.

Lots of other people who have experienced this:

Transmission dies. Mechanic says $3,000 to repair. Not worth it.

2016 honda civic ex-t after getting brakes and rotors replaced the “brake system” light stays on with alerts for: electric parking brake problem, brake system problem, & brake hold system problem. however, the electric parking brake engages and holds and disengages when i flip the switch fine, the car drives and brakes fine, the only thing that doesn’t seem to work is the brake hold button. car drives fine and brakes work fine, alerts won’t go away and are only on the dash not in the notifications in the center console.

Traveling at highway speeds with the vehicle heading in a fairly straight trajectory, attempts to adjust the steering slightly in either direction (to correct for any drifting) are met with resistance in the form of the steering "sticking" to its' current position. abnormal effort is required to "unstick" the steering, at which point there is a jerking result that causes an oversteer in the direction of the attempted correction.

When i bought the car 7 months ago from elite motors in sacramento i also nought a warranty for power train. immediately the a/c was blowing hot air. they fixed it. now it’s blowing hot air again. i went to a shop to fill freon they said there is still pressure in it and tgat they need a diagnosis first because it could be a condenser. i do not have $260 to diagnose this car. can honda be forced to repair this?

At highway speeds (50 mph or more), the car struggles to stay straight. this results in having to constantly adjust the steering wheel, which feels very tight, almost as if it's stuck. this requires using more force which can lead to an overcorrection as the wheel loosens up.

Vehicle is lightly driven for 5 years with only 40k miles. all recommended services were performed on schedule. suddenly, the a/c started to blow only hot air and did not seem to have any cooling capacity. the system is likely leaking refrigerant as honda has officially accepted that some a/c parts are improperly manufactured for 16' honda civics. a recall should be created for all 16' honda civic a/c systems.

A/c blowing warm on driver side at all times

Steering sticks at 40 plus mph. overcompensation is sometimes required and makes it hard to sterer straight. i've noticed that 2017 and newer honda civices are being recalled but not the 2016's. this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled . lots of complainmts with the same issue.

In less than 5 years of ownership, the paint on the diver side in the crevice between the rear window and the body of our 2016 civic started peeling in chunks of greater than 1". because it was out of the 3/36000 warranty, we were offered to have the area repainted and we consumed half the cost. less than 8 months later, and still less than 5 years of ownership, the paint is now peeling on the passenger side in the same exact fashion. they have had multiple recalls on many cars in this year and extended the warranty for those cars as well. i'm not sure what to do here.

Purchased 2016 honda civc 4/2021 - the lane assist feature tries to take the car into on coming traffic. it seems to detect the right lines sometimes but completely ignores the left lines. this is traveling at any speed above 45 mph on dry straight highway.

I bought my civic new on 2016. the car starts to have steering become jerky and tends to stick in the center position after driving on the highway more than 20 minutes on 03/15/2020. when that happens the car drifts to the left side and i have to use a extra force to pull it out of that sticking point back to the center steering . i did researched this problem on carcomplaints.com and found 107 complaints on honda civic 2016 eps jerky problems. i also found honda recall 18v663000 ( power steering assist fails ) on civic and crv 2017-2018 but not included 2016 while civic 2016-2018 use same eps assembly part no.53650-tba-a01 that fix the eps fails. i brought my car to honda dealer to diagnostics the problem on 05/2020 was 52k miles but they can't confirmed it because it appears after at least 20min drives so they don't want to spend that much time to drive on highway! i noticed the problem intermittently relative to the weather temperatures and the problem appears few month after i brought my car to dealer for honda recall vsa and parking brake software updated. it's challenging to drive a straight line when the problem appears . today 04/28/2021 my car has 57k miles and still have same problem but can't afford to pay over $2500 to replace the eps assembly due to out of manufacture warranty. i am deeply disappointed to own a car has less than 60k miles with major safety issues on eps unpleasure to drive.

Steering is very uncontrollable at 40 plus mph. overcompensation is required and makes it hard to steer car. appears that 2017 and newer honda civics are being recalled but not 2016’s. this is dangerous and needs to be recalled, tons of complaints on 2016.

My main display is unusable after different type of colors appear on the display. i can listen to the music but main display is not responsive and colors on it go from blue lines to completely black. tried reseting by removing the battery, replacing the fuse but not luck. once in a while screen will start working again but as soon as i turn off the car screen goes dark again with lines in it. i am unable to use the rear back camera, unable to reset service maintenance minders. it is a distraction.

Air conditioning is blowing hot air. i think it might be a known issue for this year, make, and model.

The ac system on these models have a factory defect. i was driving on the surface streets the windshield became foggy, i could not see traffic in front of me and suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. i got out of the car and cleaned the windshield with the piece of towel. because the car's ac was not working it could not defogg the windshield. i have contacted honda, but honda doesn't repair it. it is a safety issue.

At highway speeds after driving a long distance (when engine is hot), power steering sticks, making it difficult to drive straight and stay within the lane. smooth steering is not possible. more likely to occur when ambient temperatures are high, and not likely to occur when the weather is cold. this has been happening for years.

2016 honda civic touring. consumer writes regarding loud grinding noise coming from vehicle. *ld the consumer stated the air conditioner failed causing the loud grinding noise. the manufacturer was contacted. the consumer requested to have to reimbursed for the cost of repairs. *js

This issue seems to occur at highway speeds. the steering system seems to have a slight “sticking” point that requires a slight, additional pressure to correct. type of road surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.) seems to have some affect on this issue. it is somewhat disconcerting to have this occur while driving...not a good feeling!!!

At highway speeds vehicle steering sticks causing driver to apply excessive force to turn the steering wheel causing over correction

My car ac wont work and honda dealers want me to pay for diagnosis when they know there is an existing issue with the a/c condenser, compressor and evaporator.

Air compressor went bad.

Steering sticks. it is impossible to drive straight on the freeway forcing you to zig zag continuously in a lane. problem is most notable at speeds over 40mph. problem started was first noted in summer of 2017 (while driving on the freeway) and continues to today.

Ac compressor went out after 37,000 miles. without the ac, it hurts visibility (could not defog the car windows) when raining or living in a high humidity area. this is also a safety issue in hotter climates. also had problems with rear backup camera not working upon startup intermittently.

Transmission replaced twice within 2 months. vehicle makes loud noises. vehicle not safe to drive. transmission is defective. parking brake has technical issues.

I have been experiencing multiple electrical issues since about 6 months after purchase with brake light bulbs repeatedly burning out along with every system icon on the dash flashing off and on while driving the car it will not start always and at times it will not open with the key or the remote fob all being taken in to shops for repairs and within weeks i can be back to the shop with yet another so called fix this recurring problem is a big safety issue

Steering wheel sticks or catches when driving on the highway at speeds greater than 40 mph. steering wheel will not move without extra force from driver. driver has to yank on the steering wheel to get the vehicle to move. steering is not fluid as it should be and can cause the driver to overcorrect if issue is not fixed. this is a safety concern.

At highway speeds the steering sticks when making minor adjustments to stay in lane, in other words, the steering sticks hard and the vehicle stays in the turn. because the steering can't return to center without additional opposite force, breaking the steering free often causes an overcorrect. both scenarios (stuck in the turn, and overcorrecting) represent a serious hazard to drivers and road users. these are not road crown or alignment issues: these are physically stuck steering issues related to honda eps rack 53650-tbc-a01/02. please investigate this before someone gets hurt. there are over 115 complaints about this exact issue on the nhtsa database for the 2016 civic alone, that's without the thousands that almost certainly go unreported.

I was driving on the road and my windshield became foggy to the point i couldn’t see the road ahead of me. tried to defog it, it didn’t work because of the defective ac system on these particular vehicles. although had received a recall notice letter about this issue, the local dealer denied my request to fix the issue. this is a safety issue and must be fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while turning the steering wheel in both direction, the steering wheel failed to return to center, without warning. the contact took the vehicle to norm reeves honda superstore port charlotte (1252 tamiami trail, port charlotte, fl 33953) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a sticky steering wheel. the contact was unable to reach the manufacturer. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 73,000.

Steering sticks while driving and sometimes causes driver to overcorrect. this is dangerous and could lead to a major accident. this issue is happening to many civic owners and for some reason isn't being recalled. has been happening for months, but it seems to be getting worse.

When the fuel door actuator is activated (locking the doors on remote control), the motor makes a loud noise as it locks the fuel door. unlocking does not make a noise. also, when getting into car (unlocking doors) and then driving away, as the door auto-lock the actuator is engaged and it makes a loud noise. sound only happens when the actuator is engaged. sounds like the internal motor is struggling to close/lock the fuel door. it began 2 weeks ago, and the sound is getting worse and annoying.

After being on the road for 30-40 minutes the steering becomes jerky and sticky. feels like the car is trying to over correct when it shouldn’t. i have my car in the dealer since last week where the service guys drove my car and and felt the problem, they submitted a claim under my extended warranty and now the warranty guy can’t find a problem with my car and denied my claim. this is really unprofessional on honda’s part for not addressing this issue that we are all having. i swear i used to love driving my car, now i’m so scared to drive it that i can’t enjoy it. please investigate this because it is really unsafe. i think they want us to crash our cars rather fixing a simple issue and change the eps rack and pinion.

Steering sticks after driving for 20-30mins. usually wheels forward/straight. tends to occur more often on highways, less often on curvy roads. when making slight adjustments to maintain lane position, it takes an unusual and uncomfortable amount of force to get it out of its stuck position. once it breaks free, it is a slight over adjustment. does not seem to stick while in turns. i have replaced factory tires with another brand and performed an alignment, still have the same issue. vehicle has no aftermarket parts. the issue seems to come and go, and i have not noticed a specific pattern.

2016 honda civic fuel door actuator makes a loud buzzing noise when locking. i am told by the honda dealer that the problem is common on civics 2016 thru 2019 and on accords of the same years. this happens when the car starts to move forward and hits 10 mph and when the lock button on the keyfob is pushed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving various speeds, the brake warning indicator flashed intermittently on the instrument panel. the contact also mentioned that the check engine, power steering, and traction control warning indicators also illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that something under the vehicle was chewing the wires and they would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

The cover on the third brake light has fallen off. the honda dealership has tried to fix it four times and now says there is nothing they can do because this is a known issue at honda and there is no fix. this is a serious safety issue. there is no way to see out the back window in the dark or when condensation is on the window, if the brake is engaged. all you see is a reflection of the brake light. without the backup camera, the car would not be drivable. this occurs when stationary or in motion. it

The third brake light cover (inside top center of rear window) on my 2016 honda civic coupe is loose/drooping/falling off on the back passenger side with right-rear of cover separated by about 1/4" gap from inside of rear window. this condition has existed since i purchased the car on september 30, 2016. this allows distracting light leak while driving at night and impairs visibility through the rear window. based upon information online honda does not yet have a fix for this even though it has been widely reported occurring on the 2016 civic coupes since june 2016..

Takata recall hey, my car honda civic coupe broke down in september reason was tire and brake i think. i was driving in regular speed and my tire blowoff and brake didn't work in same time. i run over the hill and broke my both excel.

The cover for the reverse light, rear window, of the 2016 civic has dropped and after repeated attempts trying to get american honda to correct, still has not been fixed. the cover can't be removed as the reverse light is too bright and makes it impossible to see out the rear window at night. during the day, the cover obscures objects/cars in the rear view window.

The 3rd brake light that's on the inside of the rear window (i have the coupe) has a cover which keeps the light directed outside of the car and attaches to the window. the glue holding it to the window isn't strong enough, so the cover hangs down, blocking some of the rear window, reducing visibility. also, at night the light itself washes out the rear window, making it difficult to see out the back at all. this problem is affecting 100% of the 2016 coupes that have ever been out on a warm day (heat melts the glue), and honda isn't fixing it. they've been stringing us along for 5 months now, promising a fix in "a month" or "a couple weeks", with no resolution. last i heard, they said on november 7th that it would be released in 8-12 weeks. it feels like their plan is to just keep this up until people super glue the casing to the window themselves or decide badgering honda about it isn't worth it anymore. please make them fix their problem.

Repeated issues with faulty dashboard electronic warning system which alerts brake failure and experience with acceleration problem and other related issues. these issues occurred while driving on city streets.

Brand new 2016 honda civic - my family has purchased 2 of these vehicles same exact ex-l model in the last month just different colors. both tpms sensor lights have come on within the first few hundred miles of driving the cars! *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda civic. while stationary, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. the seat belt did not restrain the contact and the air bags failed to deploy. the contact struck the windshield and received medical attention. the contact was undergoing physical therapy. the other driver was not injured. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. honda would not replace the vehicle. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 13,000.

Cover for center brake light keeps coming loose, obscuring rear window and flooding interior with red light when brake is applied at night. known issue, but dealers do not have guidance on how to permanently fix it.

The electric emergency brake failed. the car was parked, ignition turned off, emergency brake applied, and left the vehicle. when i returned, the car had rolled backwards down a road and slammed into another parked car causing damage to both vehicles. no injuries related to the accident. police report is not available yet. we found about the recall that was issued in mid-october but we have not been notified/contacted yet.

The high-mounted brake light cover, mounted on the rear window, has detached itself from the window. this has resulted in a loss of visibility due to the plastic cover blocking important visual information from outside the car. in addition, red light from the brake light illuminates the rear window, making it almost impossible to see outside at night. i report this to the dealer (roberts honda in downingtown, pa) who said that "all civic coupes have had this problem, honda america is aware, but has not provided a fix"

Me an my boyfriend almost got into an accident when the engine of our vehicle stopped working in the middle of the highway. luckily we were able to pull over at the last second when the engine actually stopped. we were still in a dangerous area and i couldn't even describe to aaa where were. fortunately a tow truck driver was passing by and saw us on the side of the road and stopped to help us. just to give some back story my boyfriend was reading an article about a recall for the piston ring/clip affecting the engine on the 2016 honda civics and we immediately went to our dealership and had the car inspected. we were told that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and that there was not a recall on the vehicle. later on warning lights in the car started to turn on included the brake and engine light. we had a worker at autozone check the lights with one of their tools and were told the lights may have been turned off in the initial inspection of the vehicle prior to our purchase. we went back twice speaking to the manager and service team and were turned away with a list of all of the lights on in the vehicle with no remedy to fix any of the issues. when we brought up the recall again we were told our car did not fall under it. because of their negligence i and my boyfriend could ave lost our lives in an accident on the highway. we bought the car may 2016 and the recall was issued february 2016 and was still open at the time of purchase considering the parts to fix the piston problem would not be available until summer. so we were sold a car with an open recall and the issue was not fixed prior to purchase. now i am stranded without a car because the engine has sustained damage due to this issue. i want my money back and i no longer want this faulty and unsafe vehicle, and i do not trust honda to fix the issue. we need your help nhtsa!

The housing that surrounds the third brake light is not fully affixed to the rear interior window. the housing just bouces up and down and red light floods the back window when the brake is applied. this situation makes it difficult to see out of the back window at night.

Upon startup vsa, tpms, cmbs, brake warning illuminated at 4400 miles. power steering failed. delivered to dealer for repair.

I parked my 2016 honda civic in my garage and set the parking brake. i exited the vehicle and walked into the house. the vehicle must have rolled out of the garage (garage surface is rather flat, probably why i didn't see this happen) down my sloped driveway ended up in the neighbors yard. vehicle sustained damage to the exhaust, bumper, underside of trunk and right rear tire. thank goodness that nobody was injured. at the time i thought maybe i made a mistake but now that honda has issued a recall on the parking brake i understand what really happened. i did set the parking brake but it appears that it did not ever set. i have since seen this happen again when i have parked on other somewhat flat surfaces and returned to my vehicle and it appears as though it had moved a small amount. with the release of details in the safety recall (nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 ) i now understand more about what happened.

Its been 4 months now that the 3rd light brake in my car still pending resolution. it blocks my rear view as it is hanging 3 inches down with this black square 5 x 5 x 5 to cover th light. i can't driver this car in the night because its dangerous to driver it due to the size of the box. i am still waiting for for honda to resolve this problem

1. vehicle about 10 days after purchase while in motion on a city street suddenly stopped and all the lights came on. towed back to dealership, found abs modulator leaking. 2. about 3 months later car was stationary in a parking lot would not start. towed back to dealership and transmission control module was faulty.

Today i purchased a new (demo/4,900+ miles) 2016 honda civic. while the salesman was demonstrating how to use the phone/connectivity features it was discovered the phone system was malfunctioning. i was advised to try it again when i drove off the lot to take my brand new car home and it may work when i got away from the lot. it did not. the phone is non working and the voice recognition is useless.

Car stalls; with no warning just turns off this happens with no rhyme or reason and has happened multiple times many of which is not documented because it was not taken into a dealer; i could not afford a tow. i have now signed up for aaa and had it towed into a dealer this last occurrence. documented with dealerships on 5/12/16 car had 396 miles on it; 6/3/16 car had 2722 miles on it; 10/13/16 car had 10745 miles on it and this is the time the service department had it happen to them nine times before it suddenly stopped happening. happened going 75 mph going down the interstate. happens when pulling out of a parking lot. happens driving down a city street. have contacted honda corp (case#05150093) and asked for help but have not had a resolution. the honda service department has recreated the issue (copy of service ticket attached) then all of a sudden they could not get it to happen again so they told my son to come get it and drive it until it happens again then call them to tow it back in. this car is unsafe and he could lose his life and potentially many others. please help. i don't want to lose my son or any other life be taken because honda will not stand behind their product. *tr

Rear high mount brake light coming off windshield the evening i took delivery of vehicle. took it back to dealer where they tried to reattach it. the repair lasted a day. they ordered a new assembly and tried to attach it. the assembly was unglued before i got home. it has not yet come fully off, but it is a distraction and, when using the brakes at night, obscures my vision through the rear windshield. dealer said this is a known defect an are waiting on honda of america to come up with a repair. very poor engineering on honda's part and i don't know what i'm going to do if/when the thing comes fully off. i was driving home the first time i took notice of the problem. the car was stationary when i noticed it the second time. i don't think movement was a factor, just poor design and adhesion. *tr

Driving on i-5. all of the sudden, i heard a pop and the glass from my sunroof was falling on me. i did not see any rocks or objects hit my vehicle. traffic was moving fairly slow. no semi trucks in front of me. dealership said a rock must of hit my sunroof but nothing found.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the third brake light detached from the vehicle, which caused a red glare that impaired the contact's vision. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 500. the vin was not available.

Driving the car home at 7 pm and heard a loud pop noise like a gunshot. no other vehicles in site and on a road where there are no homes just open fields. pulled over to find the sunroof had a huge hole in the middle of it and the rest of the glass that was still tact was in tiny pieces like and looked like a spider web. the glass was protruding upward like it had pressure from the inside. had the the visor for the sunroof been open in the car while it was being driven this glass would have fallen directly into our eyes possibly causing vision problems. i called honda care and they would not cover the repair because they said by the time the car got to the dealer ship to be repaired it had very little glass left in it. this car has under 2500 miles on it and i have not even paid the first note.

The radio or said infotainment system does not work as advertised, not allowing you to use your google navigation or bluetooth which are 2 big safety concerns, the internet is flooded with complaints and all say honda is ignoring the problem and refusing a fix.

Third brake light cover, on rear window, keeps falling down allowing a red glare at night when the brakes are applied.

My steering wheel sticks. when i am driving straight while maintianing a straight path you have to make steering adjustments. it stick and then causes me to over compensate. when driving around a curve i can let go of the steering wheel and it hold the curve and doesn't roll back tot he center position like it should. i have taken it to the dealership and they cant recreate it so nothing gets fix. it happens about 40 percent of the time. it happens while in motion. my car is still under warranty

Letter from congressman king on behalf of constituent re 2016 honda civic defective car. *ld the consumer stated the bluetooth would freeze during an incoming call. this can only be corrected by shutting the vehicle off. when the vehicle was idle the air conditioner would blow hot air. the steering wheel melted black particles onto the drivers hands. the consumer requested to have the vehicle replaced. *js

After parking and locking my vehicle, when i later returned to my car all four windows were open approximately 3/4 of the way. this has happened 3 times. in one instance, the car had been parked prior to a rainstorm and after the rain had ended, i went out to the car to go on an errand and again all four windows were 3/4 of the way open.

Engine eaten by rats 2 times; engine harness destroyed first time; car hasn't been the same since this; found more rat droppings in the engine; car shakes so bad the rear view mirror is hard to see out of car is not stable on any road; alignment has been done 4 times on vehicle still not aligned; have taken to dealer multiple times they tell me its the road; car does not shift properly; when turn on car it shakes for about 5 minutes until warmed up. i don't feel safe in this vehicle.

On two occasions, my civic has "locked up". upon starting the vehicle, all of the warning light illuminate and the car won't go into gear. i was stuck where i was and had to get the car moving so i forcefully engaged the vehicle by inserting the key into the shift knob area. when driving the car, all of the warning lights were still on and the steering wheel was difficult to move, the vehicle was very hard to maneuver, the brakes did not work well, and the problem persisted. i eventually disconnected the battery and "reset" the computer that way. the problem went away for a few months, then came back again same exact way. the next time, i did the same thing, disconnected the battery and it reset. i do not know if this problem is with the electrical system, transmission, braking, or whatever. all i know is it was very dangerous to drive after i was finally able to engage the transmission. one other point to make, i already had the "parking brake recall" software update completed by honda. the dealership said they did not have a recall for this type of problem and all they could do would be restart the car until they were able to recreate the problem. i did no think this was a good use of time (theirs or mine) so i am hoping for a recall soon!

Upon starting vehicle, center console screen was black. when i tapped the power button, the screen flashed green and went black. no radio function, no camera function, nothing. i drove on city streets to the gas station and in a few minutes, the computer suddenly woke up by itself and has been fine since. just called the service dept. woman said no one has called about a problem like this, but they'd be happy to run a diagnostic for $100. i've been down this road before with my old prius. they'll run the diagnostic and tell me they can't find anything wrong because they can't recreate the problem. meanwhile i'll be out $100 and my time. and looking at forums on the internet, this is a problem for other honda owners, so honda needs to do something about this. it can be a safety issue. drive by wire is dangerous if manufacturers can't get reliable software. we'll see if i hear back from the service department or not about tsb or software updates. i doubt it.

The windshield wipers are too weak to handle a medium to hard rain storm. i was caught in a bad storm while on the freeway and had my windshield wipers on full setting but still not strong enough to allow safe visibility. it was a very dangerous and frightening experience.

Driving down the highway and sunroof exploded. not going under any overpass or bridge. glass rained down on me at highway speeds. no cars near me. and not driving under an overpass or bridge at the time.

March 2017 - two instances while putting gas, nozzle got stuck in the capless system causing owner panic, left with no instructions to prevent such occurrence or solve the problem. opened ticket with honda april 2, 2017 case # 05919498 - no response as of today june 27, 2017. not sure prevalence, observed some complaints online.

Rear wheels lock intermittently. excessive rear rotor wear, with normal wear on pads. appears as if pads have worn out allowing for grinding against rotors. however, pads exhibit normal wear. honda offers no explanation for corrosion. for comparison have attached photos of rear rotor and front rotor. rear rotors exhibit significant wear/corrosion with pad life around 60%. this is equal on both rear wheels of the vehicle. front rotors have normal wear @70% pad remaining. california based vehicle, but exposed to snow and winter driving. rear wheels lock on an intermittent basis, as if rear parking brake is being applied. potentially very dangerous, especially in cold weather driving.

Sir/ma'am, i would like to address somewhat safety problem that many civic have. honda civic has a center touch screen that controls radio, temperature and importantly shows rear view camera and right side camera. today the center screen didn't even turn on and wasn't able to see an object rear and underneath of my car due to the screen not turned on. it is known issue for civic community. i wish that nhtsa take a look into this issues.

I pressed my automatic start key from the window of the building , while i was getting ready ,(washing my face, brushing teeth) after a couple seconds later i heard the sound of the alarm , which would usually turn on if there is a hit or impact or loud sound . when i came downstairs, about 5-10 minutes later . i noticed the front window was shattered , i figured maybe one the neighbors was playing ball and hit my window, when i opened my door i realized there was a fire inside coming directly from the dashboard, everything was melted and my dashboard was also sunk in. i checked if there was an outlet connected or usb ports and did not find an answer. i contacted the dealership and they said they were unable to help and only advice that was given was to contact my insurance , they also added they would not be taking care of any damages in the vehicle and that they were not responsible for this and also did not know why, nor were even interested in investigating. the car was in complete park mode, and off overnight. no one deserves to take their siblings to school and instead be welcomed by a malfunctioning defective 2016 year vehicle.

On may 09, 2017 i was rear ended while sitting still by a car traveling approximately 45 mph and pushed into the car in front of me. i was wearing my seatbelt and my face was projected into the steering wheel. during the impact my seatbelt didn't seem to activate and not one airbag deployed. my vehicle has not been inspected yet but i would guess it to be totaled due to the front and rear impact damage. everyone i've spoke to including the police officer and wrecker service was very surprised that the airbags didn't deploy. i feel very lucky but do not trust this vehicle and it's safety features.

This car's horn really can not be heard by another driver. i really feel this is a safety hazard. i can't imagine a complaint has not been filed. it really is dangerous.

The ac has went out on two occasions. the first occasion was due to the system needing to be recharged. the second being a hose was not connected correctly. the back tweeter speakers went out and had to be replaced. 3 audio updates needed to be done. while driving the car stopped accelerating and the car started shaking. there was no brakes or power steering at this time. different codes started lighting up the dash. i was able to get the car stopped and off the road into the ditch area. it is currently at honda.

When refueling my civic there is a 50/50 chance it will over fule and not stop the gas pump. sometimes gasoline will overfill enough to make it to the ground. i have been to the dealer about this twice, both times being told honda is aware and investigating. this is a major safety hazard. what would happen if someone were to discard a cigarette, and catch that gasoline that overfilled and spilled out of the car on fire?

The electric parking brake continues to generate error codes. i've had it in service at honda dealers multiple times for the same problem. honda even issued a recall however, i've had the software update for this problem twice and is still messing up. it has engaged the parking brake on its own.

At a certain freeway speed 60+ mph with the combination of a particular incline of the roadway the back end of the vehicle starts to slightly fishtail which leads to instability in controlling the vehicle. this fishtailing action takes place at the downward travel on the inclining road. we have tested this phenomenon several times and each time when the vehicle reaches that certain speed and certain roadway incline it has done this fishtailing motion. it's been on several different freeways with the same degree of incline. we have owned several honda civics and acuras in our family and have never experienced this driving instability in any of these vehicles. the tires have been rotated, thinking this might be the issue? no change at all. we mentioned to the honda service department and they look at you like your crazy and say they have never heard of this. so we decided to fill this complaint in fear of the safety factor. we have 3 different people that drive this vehicle and everyone has experienced the same fishtailing sensation. as you increase the vehicles speed and these particular inclines, the worse the fishtailing gets!!! we feel it must be some kind of design flaw relating to the aerodynamics of the vehicle? or it's not weighted down properly? we would very much appreciate a response and plan of action to see what exactly is causing this fishtailing issue. like i mentioned never have we felt this in any other of our honda civics or acuras driving that exact freeway at those speeds. something is definitely wrong and it is a safety concern for our family and other owners that might be experience this same driving instability. this has happened since the day we bought the vehicle new from the dealer.

The cover on the third brake light at top center of the rear window on the coupe version of this car does not stay adhered to the window. this causes a safety issue i visibility in the rear view mirror. besides reducing visual sight area. at night the red light upon brake application is both distracting obliterates any other viewing out of the read window. dealer attempt to fix was unsuccessful. part needs to be redesigned for better installation method than double sided tape on the edge of the part. many other coupe owners have complained online about this issue.

The sunroof spontaneously shattered. no rock, no object. exploded itself.

Purchased a new 2016 civic touring in may 2016. within a couple of weeks i was having small electrical issues such as screens going black, rebooting, and stereo not working. i would get a failure warning on the dash once in awhile (different each time). car failed to start on july 26th 2016. all screens were flashing error messages. car would not start. i called the dealer and had the car towed. dealer claimed they have never seem this problem. they kept the car for a couple of days and stated there was nothing wrong, and they couldn't replicate the problem. i would continue to have the same small problems with the car every so often. until, the car slammed on the brakes coming to a complete stop by itself and computer took 100% control of the car. i couldn't steer, accelerate, or control the car at all. i nearly got rear ended in an intersection. there was not a car directly in front of me that would have caused the collision avoidance to brake in order to avoid an accident. after the car came to a complete stop i regained control again and the car operated normal. soon after, while attempting to start the car i received the all the error codes again and it the car wouldn't start. i again called the dealer and had it towed. dealer cannot tell me why the car self braked and cannot replicate it. i have an open case# with honda of america. i have told both the dealership and honda of america the car is unsafe to drive. my wife and daughter are both scared for their safety to drive it. no one from my family including myself will be driving the car ever again, nor can i sell it to someone else. they need to purchase the car back from me and find out what is causing this to ensure no one gets seriously injured from this happening again.

I purchased my 2016 civic ex in november 2015. very soon after i noticed 4 notifications on the touchscreen regarding brake system failure. i brought the vehicle in to the service department and was told those notifications were from manufacturing and were most likely not cleared during intake walkthrough. in june i started noticing a relay clicking noise coming from under the steering column that persisted while driving. it happens while the vehicle is in motion, or when i remove my foot from the brake pedal while at a stop. as soon as i depress the brake petal the click stops. as of today i have had my vehicle in for service 4 times to correct the issue and it continues. first they replaced the brake light switch and as soon as i left the parking lot the vehicle began clicking. they replaced the vsa modulator and insisted the clicking had ceased. the clicking began as soon as i left the dealership. the third time the service techs were unable to duplicate and therefore not able to investigate or repair. clicking began as soon as i left the dealership and continued there after. again the 4 brake failure notifications appeared on the touchscreen so i returned to the dealership with the vehicle. every repair attempt has been something to do with the braking system and i continue to have brake failure notifications and an issue the techs are unable to repair. i do not feel safe continuing to drive myself and my children in this vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic equipped with four hankook tires, size: 215/50r/17 91h (na). while driving approximately 50 mph, the front driver's side tire suddenly experienced a blow out, which damaged the front end of the vehicle. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the dot number was not availiable. the tire and vehicle failure mileage was 3,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the electric parking brake, brake hold system, and air bag srs warning indicators flashed, and the lane keep assist warning indicator deactivated. the vehicle lost power and various warning indicators and gauges flickered. the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. the vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed to a dealer. the dealer was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure, but test drove the vehicle. the vehicle was left at the dealer. the contact placed two calls to the manufacturer, left a voice message, and was waiting for a response. the vin and failure mileage were not available.

Bought this car brand new off the lot. when car is started, it randomly makes a mechanical grinding noise. it is getting worse with time and beginning to happen more often. i've taken it to honda multiple times and they have even replaced the starter with no solution. they tell me they have no idea how to fix it and to wait for a recall. car is beginning to idle high and jerk back and forth while accelerating in traffic.

I leased the honda civic 2016 at woodland hills honda. it was after leasing date, within 24-48 hours time, i returned to the car dealership to explain that i did not have an understanding that the honda civic 2016 did not come with a cd player and only offered an auxiliary cord outlet to work the entire sound system by my cell phone. the car dealership explained that they were unwilling to help me with a new car unless i wanted to pay more money but i could not get a new car at the same price. i argued for months with the dealership that being forced to work the audio system and run my maps for navigation through my cell phone posed a serious threat of distracted driving. the car is built in such a way, that the driver is only given an option to use the cell phone to operate audio and navigation. the way that the car is built, without the cd player, and only an auxiliary cord to plug into my phone to work the sound system interface conflicts with the california anti-texting law vc 23123.5. being forced to work my sound system and maps for navigation on my cell phone is the same spirit as to what and why this is against the law. it is distracted driving. salesmen are not clearly explaining that you are buying a car with no cd player and you need to work your music from your cell phone. there is also more confusion at the point of sale because there are other cars that come with both the aux cord and also the cd player such as the honda accord 2016 pilot for example. when i purchased the vehicle, i believed i was buying a car with both the aux cord and the cd player. later, is when i learned, i leased the vehicle with only the aux cord option. i requested to end my contract on numerous occasions as i believed the car was a police magnet. i don't want to drive a car that makes me do something to attract officers. this is a safety and legal concern. ticketed on 8/31/16.

Third brake light housing feel off the same day that i purchased the vehicle. at night, the entire rear window lights up when i brake. this is a blinding and distracting light that prevents me from seeing out of my back window. this is a safety concern. dealer refuses to fix this as per instructions from honda.

Honda civic 2016 x 4s a pebble cracked windshield 60mph zone durham freeway 147 (4300 miles) july 17, 2016. replaced with honda windshield solar glass acoustic e4 dot 865asim7845. 43r-10979 on july 20, 2016. this windshield lasted 5 weeks. pebble in 45 mph zone nc state 87 with no vehicle in front of me on august 27, 2016. honda parts has a web page thread. this problem with cracked windshields is happening across the country with this model honda civic x. i am concerned about having an accident in this vehicle; since the windshields have not held up in a 45 mph and 60 mph posted speeds in both situations. these windshields are also in short supply. had to wait five weeks for the second one. have ordered my third windshield today. have photographs of both windshields but had some difficulty in uploading them to this page.

3rd rear brake light cover on 2016 civic coupe came loose and when brakes are used 3rd brake light reflects on rear widow causing visibility problem at night. also cover flaps against window when windows of car are open.dealer tried to glue cover it lasted 15 minutes. they said the currently have no fix. honda needs to fix this design flaw problem especially since this is a safety issue.

Third brake light cover will not stay up. this causes a visibility issue when driving at night or in rain, as the reflection from the red light covers the entire back window and reflects in the side mirrors. you cannot see. it does not matter if the temp is hot or not. leased in ohio end of june and was like that then, as were all coupes on lot. dealer said they could glue in ohio. called another dealer he said not to do that, would void warranty. car now with son at college in florida. called dealer there, knew nothing. this is a hazard driving and i want it documented, as pretty much all other 2016 honda coupe owners do, that if this causes an accident, there have been plenty of complaints at honda service departments about. there is a forum that has pages of the same complaint and attempted fixes, but none work. it even states that since july 2016 honda is working on a fix. this is a danger and needs fixed asap.

The 3rd brake light on my new civic has been repaired and replaced twice and it will not stay covering the brake light , poses a safety hazard while driving as it hangs down and at night the brake light shines thru the windshield will be taking back to dealer for third time to try and rectify.

Car purchased in may , with 3700 k has had 3 issues: getting ready to back up out of driveway - the backup screen was diminished to a small sliver across the top of entire screen with the balance of screen black. took it to dealer to be fixed. when i drove away, error messages, "tire pressure low, brake system problem, charging system problem and anti lock brake system problem." tok it right back to the dealer, they said the technician failed to forgot to allow the computer to run thru the entire cycle before returning the car to me. just had problem with the a/c. car would blow hot air after 15 mins of driving - was told hose was collasping keeping cold air from coming out. hose was replaced- did not fix the problem, same issue after 15 mins of driving. had to completely turn off air and leave it off for 1/2 hour or more to get a/c to work. dealer has now replaced the a/c compressor.

The cover for the third brake light on the rear window does not stay attached to my 2016 civic coupe. i believe it's going to cause a safety issue when it limits my visibility in rear view mirror. i bring my new car back to the dealer four time so far for the same problem and still not fix. their service department replace the third brake light cover but the new part does not stay attached either. i strongly believe that this part needs to be redesigned for a better attachment to the rear window . i do hope at this point that honda will fix this problem soon

Electronic brake failure - turned vehicle on in driveway, brakes locked. car towed. honda has a work around process to avoid this. i read posts that this occurred to people while driving on highway. i do not feel safe in this car. honda does not have a fix for this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while operating the vehicle, the tire pressure monitoring system light erroneously illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 600.

Unbelievable weaken windshield!!!

Third brake light housing came undone. i've researched several honda civic forums and this seems to be a wide spread problem. one complaint even read that when they contacted their dealer they said that every single 2016 civic coupe they had in the lot is having this issue. mind you those vehicles haven't even been driven yet. while for me this is mildly annoying i can see how this can cause real visibility issues. so far there are no permanent fixes by honda for this. i fully expect a recall once a permanent fix is made by honda and there should be one. not only is this annoying but it is a safety issue as well.

Within a month of purchasing my car in july the third brake light cover has fallen down. when it is dark the red light from the brake light reflects on the rear window making it difficult to see out the rear window. the vehicle was stationary when the fault was initially noticed. honda has not come up with any fix to this problem. the adhesive used for the third brake light cover is not strong enough to with stand the heat absorbed by the back windshield.

Tire pressure monitoring system light erroneously illuminated at about 750 miles while travelling on interstate... car brand new... checked all pressures at 65f cold and all at pressures specified on door jamb... did not find any punctures or objects in tire... haven't taken it to dealer but i manually reset system by "calibrating..." light is now back at about 825 miles...

Third brake light cover will not stay affixed to window causing light to flood the back glass when braking.

3rd light brake cover on coupe falls off. fell off with 17 miles on the vehicle. numerous repair attempts have failed. result rear window floods with red light at night causing a serious safety issue *blinding*. no known recalls or fix attempts by honda have repaired issue. unable to drive the car at night!!! serious safety issue and design flaw

Third brake light came came loose shortly after driving the car off the dealer lot and persisted after attempting a fix. dealer replaced the adhesive and it did not fix the issue. third brake light housing loose severely affects visibility through rear windshield. braking at night illuminates the entire rear windshield and severely obstructs the view. definite safety issue that requires a recall.

2016 honda civic. consumer writes in regards to parking brake system failure. *smd the consumer stated the parking brakes had a software update performed them twice and the computer u3000-49 was replaced. the power windows also failed. updated 06/06/2017*js

My wife gets 'sick' after riding in said car. we suspect that the car is emitting volatile organic compounds (vocs) to which she is sensitive. this has been an ongoing phenomenon since we purchased the car in august 2016 (it is now february 2017).

Battery died in normal weather condition in austin tx on 2/20/17. evey electrical operation was disabled. by jump starting the car, the battery was tested at auto parts shop autozone. the austzone technician reported that the battery was not holding the charge.

Breaking system recall not performed by honda dealership, even when asked and talked about. asked service member and the general manager, both took a "do not care" approach. i feel this should be investigated. this is roper honda in joplin, mo.

There are three issues with this 2016 honda civic. however one of these issues must be addressed "immediately". when you go to park your car,(having it in a stationary position) you push the push button to turn it off. however if your vehicle is still in drive when you turn it off, it "turns off" and gives you a warning tone. but!!!! if your hard of hearing, and you don't hear this tone, you go to get out of your vehicle and it either rolls backwards (knocking you down with the door) as it rolls away from you (and hopefully not over you), "or" it rolls forward, running completely away from you. there is no safety feature, such as the acura. the acura automatically locks your cars position so it doesn't roll away from you or over you... my boyfriend has been hurt twice due to this unsafe feature. and i myself have been surprised by it once. this car only has 5,000 miles on it. question is? how many more miles will it be able to accumulate before killing one of us, or someone else? if there was a way for me to send you a video of this i would. but i do not know how to upload from my phone.

Trunk spontaneously opens. it hasn't happened while driving. i have taken it to the dealer, contacted honda's headquarters. they are unable to reproduce the issue so cannot fix it. there are others on the civic online forum who are experiencing this issue. this is a security issue where i cannot keep anything in my trunk. this is not right. one night after i got home, i went back out to my car and the trunk was opened. on numerous occasions, i go out to my car in the morning or after work and my trunk is open. i keep the keys as far away from the car as i can, i hang them up, but them in the bedroom and it does not good--so it is not the sensitivity of the key. i also noticed my gas tank hatch opens after i fill the tank. see the attached correspondence to honda dated today.

I was driving down the highway and a small rock hit my windshield and cracked it right where the rear view mirror is attached. there is no impacted point in the glass just the splintering of the glass. safelite had to make a small hole just to do the repair. is this windshield defective? it happen to my son's girlfriend's 2017 honda civic as well. we both just purchased the vehicles. there are numerous complaints online as well. i am concerned that the windshield is inferior or defective and is a safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. upon changing gears from park to any other gear, the gears were slow to change over. the vehicle jerked and later accelerated to change gears. the vehicle was taken to the dealer more than three times, but the cause of the failures could not be replicated and diagnosed. a service center manager indicated that the condition was experienced more than twice from a test drive, but provided no recommended solution. the dealer kept the vehicle for weeks. the manufacturer did not provide the dealer with a remedy. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v574000 (power train). the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

While driving the vehicle on city streets the (brake hold) light turns on then it brakes the vehicle on its own in the middle of the road and turns on the (hold) light . in order to continue driving i need to restart the engine back on. this has 3 times already. *tr

When fueling the vehicle it leaks this has been happening since i leased the vehicle and has progressively gotten worse it now pours out and down the side of the vehicle when fueling is complete. i have a video

Paint flaking. paint not adhered to primer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that after driving approximately 30 minutes, the steering wheel became stiff and jerky and did not operate as designed. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer russell honda located at 6100 landers rd, north little rock, ar 72117 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 20,000.

While driving on the highway steering wheel sticks when changing lanes very dangerous also because i have an extended warranty the cost was not $3,000 or more this should be a recall

Paint peeling along upper edge of roof adjacent to rear window. console display for backup/right turn camera only displays colored lines while stationary or moving. mileage 33,340, oct. 2020

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle windshield defrost system failed, and caused the contact to be unable to defrost the windshield when driving in inclement weather. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to ide honda 875 panorama trl s, rochester, ny 14625 phone number (585) 586-2820 where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor failed due to a defective condenser that was allowing the freon to escape. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure mileage was 65,000.

I was driving on the freeway and had to come to a complete stop immediately from 60 mph, but could not stop in time. a collision occurred with the stopped car in front of me and the car was extremely damaged, to the point of not starting, but the air bags did not deploy.

Our civic's steering became very 'sticky' around 6 months ago and the problem develops at speed. the steering gets jerky and momentarily gets locked in a position that we need to fight against. we had a service scheduled at honda and asked them to inspect the issue and they are not able to diagnose the problem correctly. they are deflecting and are suggesting it could be caused by us running over something that could have damaged the steering setup. there is no alignment issue and the car has only been driven 16k miles in 4.5 years (it's our second car).

Had ac condenser replaced in vehicle. one year later and the ac is not working again. took vehicle into dealership and they told me it was the compressor. quoted $1500 to fix. i declined and contacted corporate. dealer called and asked me to come back in because they wanted to check it further. inserted dye in ac system. told me there was no leak, but when i asked them to check again they stated there was a leak in the evaporator. submitted claim to honda and they denied my claim based on the fact i have only had one honda, i don’t go to the dealership for regular service, and because it’s not under warranty. confirmed that nothing was ever wrong with compressor and they admitted this mistake. want $2000 to replace evaporator.

The air conditioning no longer works on the drivers side only blows hot air;the passenger side blow cool air,honda has known a/c issues with the corrosive 1234yf refrigerant that impacts the entire cooling system. service bulletin 19-091 covers the condenser however does not cover the compressor, clutch or coil and those parts are a costly fix.the air conditioning compressor is a known issue with the 2016 honda civic. the compressors are known to leak and costed me $1687.47 in a 4 years automobile with only 27062 miles for replacing the compressor. honda has ignored the problem and they should recall or issue a service bulletin extending a warranty for those defective a/c parts.

Brand new honda civic sedan touring has had navigation system/gps problems from day two: - does not acquire satellite data / does not connect to satellite - navigation system showing the car location completely wrong, sometimes by a mile - navigation system rebooting itself while driving - car symbol is wiggling all over the map while driving this happens almost every time car is driven, on a two-lane street or on a highway, day or night. more than 10 instances caught on video and pictures. there have been times when it endangered car passengers' safety by showing wrong information and giving wrong directions in unfamiliar surroundings where gps/navigation system were needed. it has been taken back to the selling dealership three times for repair: first time a navigation software "reset" was performed, second time was kept for 9 days and the hmi head was replaced, third time was kept for 6 days and the antenna was replaced. it continues to have the same problems. after more than 21 days of dragging their feet the selling dealership has agreed to look at the car again, monday jan. 16th. the car right now has less than 4,500 miles.

If you have to brake suddenly, vehicle will not reaccelerate when pressing accelerator. you have to pump accelerator several times before it starts working properly again and vehicle resumes acceleration. this has almost caused me several accidents already. very dangerous! especially for an inexperienced driver. also, seatbelt locks up tightly and you cannot move upon sudden braking. you have to play with it for a while before it loosens up. this is also dangerous because you cannot look around to see your surroundings.

The honda civic was in the driveway with the emergency brake set when it was parked. the vehicle has a manual transmission. a few hours later the car alarm was going off and when i went to look to see what was going on i discovered that the car had rolled down the drive and into a telephone pole. the police in my jurisdiction do not take accident reports for accidents on private property therefore a police report was not taken. after the incident i found that there was a active recall involving the emergency brake. when i bought the car on october 8, 2016 i was told there was a "do not sell" note in the computer system due to the recall. the dealer said they could do the download while we did the paperwork. after this incident involving the wreck the car was taken to a local dealer who checked the download and confirmed that the download was up to date. the car was taken back to the dealer two days later to have the brake system inspected which the dealer stated that there were no codes found in the system. this was done at the advice of honda customer service. honda customer service contacted me today and stated that at this time they recommend proceeding with an insurance claim. i stated that i thought that since there was an active recall and the recall had been performed on the vehicle and the emergency brake still failed that they would want to take the car to look at. i was told that they would look at the dealer reports and if they found something they would contact me back which seems dangerous to me. what's to say the brake won't fail again and next time there may be someone behind it or in front of it. *tr

Steering wheel controls stopped working.

I am still having brake system issues and not allowing me to gear and drive! since letter for recall in november, which already set appointment with dealership to reprogram or reboot system they stated would take care of,i have been back twice after that. i also have issues with the warning exclamation light flashing and was told all's fine the new cars are sensitive when take. my bluetooth connect acts up all time where not even being able to use amenities paying for with car.i'm pissed because now outside movie theater with kids and stuck again break locked. beyond a little inconvenience now. i have never had a bad experience with honda until got this 2016 honda civic *tr

Takata recall i received postal mail about a recall pending on my vehicle that was to be completed in fall 2016. it is now january/winter 2017 and there has been no update. i am concerned about driving my car when it has a potential grenade embedded in the steering wheel in front of my face and chest. *tr

Car allowed itself to be turned off while still in drive. upon leaving car it rolled down incline into another car. my husbands honda (2011 crv) does not allow the car to turned off in drive nor does it allow the key to be removed from the ignition while still in gear/drive. *tr

Driving into a small town at approximately 45 mph sounded like a gunshot went off inside the car. the sunroof had exploded. no traffic was around. nothing hit the roof. only a small amount of glass fell into the car. it had blown outward leaving a hole in the middle with the edges sticking up. drove directly to dealership about 15 minutes away where the car was purchased new 6 months earlier. they said they had never heard of anything like that occurring and it was a insurance claim and not hondas responsibility since we couldn't prove it wasn't a rock. nothing hit the car and the glass blew out which scratched the paint on the trunk lid. *tr

Our 2016 honda civic touring car emergency braking system from time to time would not work properly when operating under normal circumstances. took the car into the dealership in scottsdale, arizona called right honda. they took the car twice to help fix the problem with the auto braking system. nevertheless, right honda drove the car around 81 miles an hour. we have a gps tracking device on the car that alerts us when someone is driving unprofessional. the right honda was shown and asked why they drove our car so fast at an unprofessional speed on a public street in arizona. the service manager just told me it was for testing purposes, to get the car to react. we told them that it was very unprofessional to drive our car at such high speeds and they added that if we do not like it we can take our car somewhere else in the future. we also let honda america know about the problem and they just told us that they are not responsible for right honda?s actions for their unprofessional actions. the good note is that we think right honda might have finally fixed the emergency braking system problems we were having, when our 2016 honda civic touring car would stop by itself from time to time without an object in front of our car. but do not like how honda america and right honda dealership handled the situation. feel they need a lot of help in the customer service category. including, no dealership should drive anyone?s car criminally ever. *tr

I filed just moments ago but entered the wrong photos. these are more clear. the lights were on the entire time. they just don't show.

Following my wife after a recall on her car, it began to rain lightly. knowing we were entering a 75mph turnpike, i phoned her to advise her to turn on her lights. she did. at the stop light before getting on the turnpike, all i could see were 2 tiny led bulb types on both sides. as she began to reach speed, she got 10-15 car lengths ahead of me. we knew the factory spoiler causes a vortex behind her car as we wipe off black powder that builds on the back of her car each day when she comes home from work. i've never driven behind her let alone in the rain. with the vortex creating a boiling spray, and the tiny led bulbs, i could not see her at all. just a spray. no lights. at our exit close to home, as she took off, i could not see her tail lights even 5 car lengths back. it was day time i forgot to mention but cloudy and as stated, light rain. i could see her brake as the brake lights use a common bulb. again, with the lights in the on position, the only time i saw her tail light was in the garage. the vehicle has two issues. the spoilers create a spray of water reducing visibility of the backbof her car in the rain or fog to zero. honda even shows photos with their lights on. tiny angled led's pointing up and in. and not nearly bright enough to be seen in rain. heavy rain or dense fog, could be catastrophic. my wife drives i-40 & i-44 to and from work daily. 13 miles. she's had the car just a few months. i am concerned each morning. she currently leaves when it's dark. i'm worried about the spring rains and dawns early light wheather she will be seen. as stated earlier, the spoilers cause the turbulence or vortex behind the car. the lights are too small and lumens not strong enough to be seen. photos below will show on city streets and in our driveway. the photos i took from my phone the last few blocks home and into the garage. this is bad! she loves this car

I was driving the freeway at 70mph when suddenly all the indicators went berserk with 6 different problems appearing all at the same time. i went from 70 to 40mph without doing anything. i went to the shoulder to stop and these problems appeared: power steering system (eps), vehicle stability assist (vsa), hill start assist, emissions system, brake system and brake hold system. it scared the hell out of me coz the cars behind me started honking at because of the sudden reduced speed. it could've cost me my life! it was only at 1195miles when that happened and did nothing that may have caused the defects. i am on a three year lease and it has only been less than 2months since i had the car. i don't want that car anymore so if you cant give me another one (without additional costs), then i would want a full refund and cancel my lease. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 35 mph, the contact rear ended another vehicle. the brakes failed and the vehicle would not stop when the brakes were applied. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. there were no injuries. the vehicle was towed. the manufacturer was made aware of the crash. the failure mileage was 3,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while the vehicle was parked with the parking brake applied, it rolled away and crashed into a handicap parking pole. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the application of the electrical control unit failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 (parking brake). the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 4,050. updated 01/25/17*lj updated 7/16/18*jb

Airbag system (srs) problem indicator light came on at 101,597 miles. got into car and started it, then light came on.

While driving down a smooth, straight road at about 50mph, i heard a loud sound, similar to a gunshot. when i looked up, the glass sunroof was shattered and had a roughly 7" x 12" hole. only one or two small pieces of glass fell into the car. the rest blew up and out of the car. the fabric sunroof door was open (pushed back into the car so that the sun was coming in through the sunroof), and the glass sunroof was closed (closed so that no wind was coming into the car). there were no cars ahead of or behind me that may have kicked up a rock. there were also no trees or anything else above me from which something may have fallen. i did not find any evidence of anything that has fallen into the car after coming through the glass, and the glass was bulged up and away from the car rather than down and into it. it was about 75 degrees and sunny.

The steering wheel sticks when over 40mph. the car pulls to one side and happens over 40mph. the car will not drive straight and the steering wheel sticks

The air conditioning no longer works on the drivers side. the passenger side blow cool air, but the driver side only blows hot air like the a/c isn’t on. this causes the windshield to steam while driving due to the temperature variance, along with creating an extremely uncomfortable driving experience that is hazardous in hot weather.

At highway speeds the steering wheel sticks so when you are trying to make small adjustments to keep the car centered within your lane you end up over correcting. when driving long distances it seems to get progressively worse. the dealership has told me that i meed to spend $3800 for a new steering rack but considering the number of complaints for other owners with the same issue, this should be a recall and honda should pay for this mistake.

Frequent ac problems. ac blows warm, honda has replaced the compressor twice under warranty within 1 year, both times issues have only been solved temporary and eventually ac the will blow warm air again. now the ac is blowing warm air again. the ac system takes around 15-20mins to start blowing cold air, specially during summer hot days, which is not normal for any car ac system. this time the honda dealer said the evaporator is leaking and car is not out of warranty. dealer said they would have to order the evaporator since it is back ordered. from what other owners are reporting online, these cars appear to have defective ac parts including condensers, compressors and evaporators in honda civics ranging from 2016-2019.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light and attempting to drive through the light, the vehicle started to vibrate abnormally. the contact coasted into a parking lot, looked under the hood and became aware of fluid leak. the contact reached out to hendrick honda bradenton (5515 14th st w, bradenton, fl 34207) and informed the dealer of the failure. the contact was informed that a tow truck was sent to tow the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission reservoir top detached under pressure. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 197,001.

While doing normal city driving in early morning, i drove over metal plates on the street which had occasionally in the past caused my automatic braking system (cmbs) to warn me to brake as if it sensed a hazard, but never applied the brakes for me. today when going over these plates, the cmbs applied full brakes to the car without my touching the brake pedal myself, bringing my car to an abrupt stop. the car behind me understandably rear-ended me. luckily just very minor damage since the car behind me mostly stopped, but this is obviously a very serious problem. will take to dealership in a couple days for inspection. i was under the impression this system could not be disabled, but after looking online i found it could be, so i disabled it today. will likely not use it in the future as i see the harm from it to greatly outweigh the potential benefits. here are the weather conditions at the time of the incident: it was about 6:00 am, before sunrise. there was slight sleet/snow, but it was very minimal. road conditions were normal aside from the metal plates from construction on the street.

The steering is sticky. when i try to make minor adjustments to direction, it sticks. when it finally let’s go, the car overcorrects causing dangerous conditions.

My 2016 honda civic exl a/c system no longer working. for the year of the vehicle i would think the a/c system would not have any problems yet. i got a notice in the mail that there was a recall on the condenser system due to leaks, so i took it in thinking this was going to be the issue. i find out i'm out $100 for the inspection even though it wasn't the condenser and that the issue is instead the compressor that is leaking! these parts are so closely related that honda should be doing a complete recall on the whole ac system! i looked online for others to see if they were experiencing similar problems and of course they are! what a surprise, it seems as if honda is also aware of the problem but are doing nothing to resolve or fix their faulty ac systems. there compressors are on back order 3-4 weeks out. i believe honda should recall their complete honda civic's 16-18 for faulty ac systems!

Went to start my car after 8 hours of work and the battery is dead. car is only 4 years old and has chalky corrosion. i don't live near a beach for it to have this much corrosion nor do i know if that's why the battery is actually dying. car has done this to me 4 times since purchasing it brand new.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the instrument cluster went blank and became inoperable. the speedometer was spinning. additionally, the air conditioner was blowing hot air. the vehicle was taken to carbone honda of yorkville (5009 commercial dr, yorkville, ny 13495, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 36,000.

During a recent road trip we were driving on the freeway for extended periods. during this time, there were times when the steering became very difficult. this car has lane keep assist and other safety mechanisms, but those were turned off. however, it is as if it was trying to steer for me, but in the wrong direction. for example during a turn, it would become difficult to straighten the wheel - it wouldn't click, but it would offer strong resistance. i don't know if the power steering assist is just stopping working in one direction? in general it becomes overly difficult to steer as if it is "fighting" against the driver. the steering becomes "sticky" particularly on turns. i've researched this in different car forums and it is a common complaint. it is generally at highway speeds, it is intermittent, and it is usually after driving the car for a while. because it is making the car difficult to stay in the proper lane this could cause an accident. the car only has 44k miles and has been well maintained. during a recent inspection for this problem at the dealer they found nothing obvious but we could not recreate the problem. some people have reported replacing the power steering rack has resolved the problem. this should be investigated as it is a dangerous condition when it occurs.

The air conditioning stopped working on our 2016 honda civic in early summer of 2020. we were told by the dealer that it was the compressor and would cost in excess of $2000.00 to fix. we opted out of the repair at that time. i have since discovered that honda has now extended the warranty for 10 years.

Transmission fill plug came out and leaked fluid all over my transmission. the fluid was changed at my local honda dealership about 2 years ago. only noticed while i was changing my oil on 9/6/2020. i have no idea to when the plug came out and started leaking. i looked it up in online forums and it seems to be a common problem. i'm afraid it will get dirt or other materials in my transmission and mess it up. luckily i was able to get to it by taking the air-intake off and putting the plug back in place. will be reporting this to my dealership as well.

Stearing wheel is sticking after it is held in one position. the sticking can be noticed at all speeds even when stopped. when thestearing sticks it causes the driver to over compensate when trying to make small adjustments at highway speeds.

Honda has known a/c issues with the corrosive 1234yf refrigerant that impacts the entire cooling system. service bulletin covers the condenser however does not cover the compressor, clutch or coil that is a costly fix. honda has ignored the problem and should recall however they went the easy way out and put out a service bulletin.

2016 honda civic; a/c just stopped working in aug of 2019 (car 3 yrs old) with less than 25k miles. paid $240 to get repaired. now 6 months later a/c has quit working again. honda knows there is a problem with the compressor. why is this not a recall and why is honda not fixing a car that is 4 years old?

Ac stop cooling about one year after purchase , check for leaks ( no leaks found).

Primary display failed, removing ability to see backup camera and right turn or right side blindspot camera. secondary impact to climate control and other vehicle functions but safety issue with an inability to see the backup camera on the display is primary concern. vehicle was stationary when the problem was noticed, but it affects safe operation when backing or making right turns or lane changes to the right.

At approx 36k miles, the vehicle began exhibiting a behavior where, at highway speeds, the steering sticks while driving straight. to make a minor steering adjustment, the amount of force required to initiate a steering change would cause steering to become unstuck and then over steer. minor steering adjustments are not possible and the vehicle is difficult to control and maintain within the driving lane. this issue initially would occur randomly but has progressed and is occurring more often.

2016 civic with 23500 miles on the odometer. the a/c compressor has failed and blew smoke into the cabin of the car. there is an extended replacement warranty for the condenser due to known defects in the part, but the compressor is not covered though it too is failing at an abnormal rate for many owners. honda dealer is charging me $1800 for the repair and not replacing the condenser. many owners are reporting recurring failures of the condenser, compressor, and/or evaporator units. the a/c system in these vehicles has a design defect and should be recalled.

Over 40 mph and especially on highway, the steering wheel is very jerky. a slight adjustment causes the steering wheel to jerk in the hands right or left depending on which way it is being turned. it feels like the steering wheel is stuck and breaking loose.

Ac slowly stopped putting out so much cold air. and suddenly one day jsut stopped blowing cold air all together. nothing is coming out but alittle air.

The air conditioning compressor is a known issue with the 2016 honda. they are known to leak and cause the owner $2,500+ in the first 5 years, replacing the compressor.

First, the new "no fuel cap" fuel pump sucks.. it always get stucked when i'm pumping gas at any gas station. oil will spill out. btw (this is a known problem) second, ac parts! yes, i know that honda had a lawsuit for their ac and did a recall on their ac condenser. there are so many other parts that have design errors but honda refused to acknowldegged their mistakes. for example, ac evaportator? ac compressor? please help all the honda civic buyers! this is totally unacceptable!

Upon starting vehicle, multiple warning lights appeared on dashboard. lights indicated brake system issue, power steering issue, hill start assist issue, abs system issue. power steering does not work. car is not safe to drive.

When i steer on the highway going over 40 mph the cars steering wheel would feel stuck and when i applied more pressure it jerks the whole car.

The car’s air compressor went out. i have to pay $1400 to fix. i have seen the part be on back order for many people having the same problem. my car is a 2016 honda civic, (only 4 years old). i believe this should be a recalled part since the condenser is already recalled and many people are having the same problem.

There's a "catch" in the steering. while driving, if slight turn, can feel a catch and slight "tick" not very loud.

Air conditioning condenser was replaced under recall jan. 2019. ac stopped working by june, 2020. condenser needed to be replaced again, but was on back-order. over 5 weeks later, condenser was replaced in august 2020, but dealer reported compressor was leaking and needed to be replaced, for about $1,200. honda refuses to cover more than 30% of that cost, according to both a regional representative and a honda of america representative. the compressor is on back-order, indicating that a high number of compressors are failing. all the above work and diagnosis were performed by honda dealer the automaster, shelburne, vt. the car has under 33,000 miles and is less than 4 years old. i'm the original owner. there appears to be a class action for this issue, initiated in california, case 2:19-cv-10537, filed dec. 2019, us district court for central district of california. having no ac is a safety issue in at least two ways: it's dangerous to drive in a hot car, and a fogged windshield obstructing driver's vision can't be cleared without ac. honda should cover the full cost of correcting these safety issues.

One day after purchasing my car i had to take it back to the dealer for 2 reasons; it was making a loud screeching sound and it was blowing hot air from the ac. they gave it back to me ac blowing cold. exactly 1 year later same problem. ac blowing hot air. its disruptive while driving and extremely uncomfortable. to the point that i can not stand it. i wont drive it unless it i absolutely have to and that is a huge problem.

When driving at speeds 40mph+ the steering wheel feels stuck. making minor adjustments when the wheel is centered will have a resistance to them and sometimes makes a clicking sound like the steering is catching on something.

Air conditioning compressor failure was diagnosed by honda dealer. took car to my auto shop and the auto shop cannot order part from the honda. he also mentioned there are quite few failure of ac compressor on this model. is there a problem with compressor and if honda have a recall?

I have a honda civic sedan 2016 ex-l. my vehicle has 36,943 miles on it. i took my car in for service 11/29/19. i asked them to check the air conditioning since it was not feeling as cool and there is a recall for the air conditioning condenser. i was told it was fine. again i had my car serviced on 2/14/20 as i would be driving a distance. i left and while on the road the air conditioning went out on the drivers side. because of covid i took the car in on 08/18/20. that is when i was charged a $150. 00 diagnosis fee. adam came back 2 hours later and told me that it was my a/c compressor, clutch and coil. it would cost $1794.97 to fix it. only they didn’t have the part and didn’t know when they would. i called a local honda mechanic to get his opinion. they told me they would check to see if the compressor was on recall because they fix several of them. “ if it’s not it should be.” the honda mechanic said that they could order the part that day. i bought this car because prior owners stated honda was reliable. this car has been anything but reliable. the protective plate dropped down and got twisted while driving on the freeway. had the car in at least 7-8 for the problems with the radio as it is the brain of car. replaced the battery early on in my ownership. this car is a big disappointment. every thing that has gone wrong with my car i had met someone at the dealership with the same problem. as well as reading many complaints online. especially with the air conditioning in the 32,000- 36,000 mile range!

Like so many others, my 2016 civic has the sticky steering problem. at highway speeds the steering wheel "sticks" and does not allow small steering adjustments. trying to move the car a little left or right, to change lanes for example, is dangerous -- applying enough pressure to get the wheel to move makes the car jerk. i see stories in forums about this getting covered under warranty. seems unfair i have to pay $3k to fix a safety issue because my car has 40,000 miles on it.

Ac system needs a new condensor and compressor due to leaking....car is not even 4 years old...this issue is ongoing and honda has done nothing....not living up to reputation...this is my first and last honda. i had to replace the battery in this car less than 3 years old and nothing was draining it....this has been a pain in the butt experience....i'm going back to toyoya. honda refuses to deal with this ac issue that many of us are having when they are fully aware of it.

Air conditioning blowing warm air - not cooling when it is turned on

The ac does not work. has not worked since i bought it in 2016.

This vehicle has repeatedly been dying and having all of the error codes pop up while the car is running. we have had the car diagnosed and have been told there is nothing wrong by two different dealerships. however even when we are driving the car the car starts freaking out and losing power. we have verified that nothing is draining the battery and have had the battery tested twice. the battery must not be the problem but the electrical system is messing up so much that we are scared to drive it. i’m hoping by visiting the dealerships so many times that i will be able to file a lemon law vehicle and return the vehicle that was only purchased a few months ago.

When the a/c is turned on, the passenger side blows cool air, and the driver side blows room temperature/warm air. dealer stated this is because of a leak from the compressor due to the front seal failing. honda extended the warranty for the a/c condenser for a similar issue, but the compressor is not covered under it and costs $1,800 to repair.

The air condition is not properly working. even if you put on high it takes 30-35 minutes to cool the car....and it is not that cold.

While driving at high way speeds, the car's steering feels stiff when adjusting to keep the car straight. it doesn't pull as if the alignment is off. the steering feels stuck when i am trying to keep the car straight and i have to over compensate which makes the car jerk. i have checked on civic forums and it seems to be a common problem my model civic. many others have identified the problem as the power steering rack.. honda has issued a recall for 2017 and above make civics but my 2016 is not covered.

When driving highway speeds, the steering becomes sticky and feels as if there are notches or clicks that the steering gets to stuck in. when moving the wheel left or right to "unstick" the steering, the car feels like it's over correcting. the steering is not smooth and it is hard to keep the car moving in a steady straight line. this happens more noticeably in warmer weather, later in the day and on the highway at speeds over 5 mph. the transmission is manual and happens in any gear over 45-50 mph.

Small rock hit lower driver side of windshield and made a very small nick about 6 months ago. i drove home from work friday and upon getting my car ready sunday evening for work the next day we noticed a crack. i can only assume this initiated where that rock hit and after googling the issue i realize i’m not alone in this. the windshield of the honda 2016 and newer is garbage. it is weak and unsafe. that small crack from sunday has now reached halfway across the windshield and i cannot drive my car until it is fixed on wednesday afternoon for fear of it caving in. why hasn’t honda addressed this issue? it’s been four years of numerous complaints! the crack is growing at an incredibly and terrifying rate that it is completely unsafe. the first picture was at 7am, the second at 5pm, and the third at 9:30pm

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph and attempting to turn, the steering wheel ceased, causing the vehicle to over steer. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the holler honda dealer located at 2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807, where a diagnostic test was performed. the contact would be contacted with the result of the test. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for a diagnostic test. the contact was informed that the failure was a known issue and referenced nhtsa campaign number: 18v663000 (steering). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 32,239.

At speeds over about 45mph the steering sticks briefly and correction causes a sudden jerk in the needed direction. this is constant and always occurs. it seems to have become worse with time and is annoying and disconcerting, especially to passengers and anyone who drives the car rarely or has not driven the car before.

I noticed that the steering wheel would start being sticky or knotchy. the electronic steering worked fine but for subtle movements you feel resistance. the resistance makes it difficult to change lanes, as it feels like a force is acting in opposite direction and it takes more strength then necessary to make subtle movements. the issue happens while vehicle is in motion. does not feel safe in my opinion i have read forums where dealers have covered this issue under warranty, so it should be a known issue .

The air conditioner stopped working on my 2016 honda civic ex. i bought the car used in december 2018. the ac worked fine in 2019, but has not worked at all in 2020. it blows hot air on the left side and barely cooler air on the right.

Since purchasing my 2016 civic new, i have had issues with the front lower under-end of the car being too low. it constantly scrapes when i go over speed bumps or small curbs. on 7/27/20, i was parking at a restaurant and slight drove up on a small curb, i stopped and backed up and parked. about 15 seconds later as i was about to exit my car, suddently the airbag deployed hitting me in the face, shoulder and chest. i was dazed, fortunately, two co-workers who were following me to the restaurant, saw that i needed help and opened the door to help me get out. i have had a headache over the last couple of days - my doctor told me it is probably a slight concussion. i would like to know if honda has had any similar issues with this car and i would like to have my repairs paid. it is not fair for me to have the repairs done under my insurance because i have a $1,000 deductible and they are likely to raise my premiums. this was not my fault. let me know

After about 30-40min of driving on the highway, usually higher speeds, the steering wheel gets sticky and stiff at times. feel really dangerous when changing lanes and or making slight corrections in movement. currently my vehicle has 16k miles on it.

Paint is chipping near rear window on drivers side. after some quick research this appears to be a common problem. bought it certified only 3 months ago.

The air conditioner stops blowing cold air at idle and occasionally even when driving. this may pose a safety issue in hotter climates if there are children, elderly people, special needs persons, or pets in the vehicle when parked. reading through the internet, there are hundreds if not thousands of owners with this same issue due to a faulty ac condenser from the factory. honda has extended the warranty on the condenser alone but has not issued a full recall or warranty on the other parts/labor involved. this car has only 53k miles on it and this is the second time being serviced for this same problem.

The steering wheel sticks when initially making minor turns or adjustments while driving causing jerking movements which magnifies at higher speeds causing the vehicle to swerve. this can be felt at all speeds including while still.

I took my 2016 honda civic to the dealer after the air conditioning stopped working in june of 2020 to have it inspected for a leaking a/c condenser, which was covered under an extended warranty per a letter i received in november of 2019. the dealer inspected the vehicle and found the condenser is leaking and would be covered, but also stated the compressor is leaking and the repair would cost $1583.00. when i asked if a leaking condenser could cause damage to the compressor they said they weren't sure. i then asked if they were seeing a number of condenser and compressor failures at the same time and they said yes. there have been a number of customers with simultaneous leaks in their condensers and compressors. i believe these need to be investigated and honda should extend the warranty on both

Steering starts to stick above speeds of 45 mph. when trying to correct from center within the lane, the steering wheel seems to stick and then jumps and over-corrects. i then have to compensate and shift the steering wheel to the opposite side and it sticks and jumps again. it makes the car harder to control/unstable and you feel like the car is bopping within the lane from the many adjustments required to center the car within the lane. i don’t have confidence in it’s safety any longer.

I bought my 2016 honda civic new and every year during the summer i experience issues with the a/c not working properly. this summer since it's no longer under warranty, i took it to my local mechanic to see if he could figure out wha the honda dealers never could while my car was under warranty. it's blowing hot air. he quickly uncovered i have a leak and that it's an issue with the condenser. he did a quick check and informed me that honda had a recall on this component and to take it back to the dealer. i just got off the phone with the dealer who explained that my car is not covered in said recall. even though it's a known problem with the model and year i own, honda is refusing to cover it. again, my a/c has been on ongoing issue since i purchased the car and i've always struggled to have honda fix it. they did change out the compressor last year which stopped my vents from smoking but sure as can be, as it does every year, it's blowing hot air again.

A/c blowing warm air on driver side and getting gradually cooler towards passenger side. replaced condenser 13 months ago and paid out of pocket as this was before extended warranty. took car to dealership this time and they charged $80 for diagnosis to say it needs a new hose which would cost $875. took it for second opinion, was told that hose was fine but needed new valve but they did not have the freon equipment. went to new place that had right equipment and they are saying it's the evaporator and going to be $1300. now i have no idea what is actually wrong all i know is the car is 3.5 years old and the ac should not have broken.

When driving on the highway at high speed (60 - 70 mph) my steering began to "stick". it was difficult to make the normal small steering adjustments to the right or left that are needed on the highway to go straight and stay in your lane. the sticking required me to use more force, which makes it more difficult to stay in the lane and more likely to accidentally hit someone. the problem has occurred on 4 occasions. it happens on hot days (85 - 90 f degrees) after about 30 minutes of highway driving. once it starts, it continues as long as the driving continues.

I bought the car used with only 20,000 miles after driving the car on the highway for at least 15 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go. i have been reading many complaints of this being a recall on the car in the 2017 / 2018 model year. why not in 2016?

A couple of times while im stopped at a red light my car stalls, i took it to a honda dealer but they didnt find anything wrong with it. i'm worried that i get in to a car accident if my car suddenly stops while im driving.

Ac does not blow cold air

The steering feels "sticky". most notable at highway speeds but i suspect it is occurring otherwise, just not as noticeable when you have to turn the wheel completely vs just staying in lane. when this occurs, it is a constant wrestling match to keep the car going in the direction you'd like. what would typically be a gradual and easy constant course correction is transformed into a struggle to get the steering wheel out of the stuck (might be the wrong word, but it's easy movement is greatly hindered) position. this results in an over-correction because once you overcome the "stuck" the wheel is jerked further than intended. the steering wheel sticking causes the car to careen all over the lane and road.

The stability braking system suddenly fail. parking brake does not work. the brake warning lights on the dash are on. the dealer claimed they had already fixed the recall but obviously not because the problem is still there.

In 2018, i purchased a used 2016 honda civic and several months later when the hot weather set in, we discovered the ac is not working. took into honda dealer and they told us the ac compressor was leaking and it would cost $2000. i had it fixed when i was able to save enough money. now a year after i fixed it, my ac compressor and my ac condensor are both leaking. i purchased a honda for reliability but its been a horrible and expensive experience. honda will only replace the condensor due to recall but i can't fix it without fixing the compressor as well. i called american honda but they won't do anything about it.

After driving the car on the highway for at least 15 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go this seems to be more noticeable when temperatures are higher around 80+ degrees f.

When driving on a warm day on the highway, the steering becomes very notchy when going straight. when driving, there is constant minor adjustments needed to be made to go straight, however, each time i try to make these adjustments, the steering wheel is stuck so i am slightly drifting left or right. to realign myself, i have to jar the steering wheel left or right to get it out of this stuck position which causes me to go too far and towards other lanes. essentially i am driving zig zag the entire time trying to stay in a lane. this link has the same exact complaints from many other customers: https://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2016/steering/steering.shtml. *tr

About 3 weeks ago my a/c stopped working. it only blows out lukewarm or hot air on both the driver and passenger side. i have one much research being as the car is barely 4 years old and this should not be happening. it seems that honda has faulty condenser and/or compressor. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss power steering assist and became difficult to steer in either direction. the vehicle was taken to braman honda of palm beach located at 6200 lake worth rd, green acres, fl 33463, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering rack was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 30,217.

Air conditioning and cooling, other civics of this year and model were recalled, my vehicle has the same symptoms yet honda is not honoring recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle was in park with the ignition off and keys removed, when the vehicle rolled backwards down a hill. the contact stated that he believed the vehicle was in parked and the parking brake was engaged. the contact stated the vehicle ended up hitting and running over a tree stump and guardrail. there were no injuries. no police report was filed. the contact had the vehicle towed to an auto body shop where the underneath of the vehicle was severely damaged causing the vehicle to be totaled. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 (parking brake) as the cause of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 47,173.

2016 honda civic ex steering wheel sticky , stiff & jerky. my vehicle does not have lane keeping assist. the power steering works fine for large movements but for subtle movements, it would cause resistance and jerk when you add more force to turn. this issue does not matter with vehicle speed, stopped or moving produces the same result and only requires the engine to be running. this issue causes jerky lane position and potentially dangerous over correction at highway speeds. the resistance makes it difficult to change lanes, as it feels like a force is acting in opposite direction and it takes more to make subtle movements. please look at a video i found from a fellow civic owner. this is exactly the same problem i am trying to describe. find the video at https://youtu.be/w5x_cavhxmm. the individual who made the video was able to get warranted work done and the dealer replaced the entire steering rack. *tr

A/c unit and all components of ac has stopped working, previous owner replaced components at dealership, i had the components replaced at a different dealership! parts are faulty and don't last!

2016 honda civic. problem with air conditioning blowing hot air both when vehicle is in motion and stationary. i took to the car to the dealership and was told both condenser and compressor had leaks. condenser is covered under extended warranty but the compressor was not costing in excess of $1100 to repair. was informed by dealership they are receiving 3-4 vehicles per week with this issue. it is clearly a defect in the manufacture of the vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the windshield defroster was inoperable due to the air conditioner being inoperable. the contact stated that the windshield and windows fogged up while driving. the vehicle was taken to penske honda (4140 e 96th st, indianapolis, in 46240 317-399-9890, but was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Honda civic, model year 2016 has defective a/c system. in shop 3x since 2017 to repair a/c, on 3x the compressor and condenser needed to be replaced. system does not blow cold air. honda replaced the condenser at no charge, but charged $599.00 for new compressor. i believe honda is aware of their defective a/c system.

My 2016 honda civic ex-t a/c recently started blowing hot air. i took the car to the dealership and they want nearly $500 for the diagnostic. then they said the compressor needs to be replace and it’ll cost over 2 grand. my car nearly has 60k miles and there’s no way the compressor should have leakage. i took good care of my car. if i known honda i’d problems with a/c i would have never bought honda. this issue needs to be recall. it is not a pleasant ride to drive in the hot summer without a/c and my mother is old. this is not good. *tr

At highway speeds, and driving straight, the steering gets "stuck" and requires extra effort to turn causing abrupt movements. it is especially noticeable when making small adjustments. this issue starts after the car is warmed up and driven for about 20 minutes. *tr

Ac blowing hot on driver's side and some cool on passenger side. vehicle has 39,000 miles. *tr

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments. driving at highway speeds to make a minor adjustment to stay in my lane requires a bit of extra force to free up the "stuck" steering wheel before i make the minor adjustment, but to make the minor adjustment the extra force required to free up the stuck steering wheel sometimes causes a major adjustment like drifting into another lane. i've determined that this normally occurs after the car has been driven for 20-30 minutes. happens at highway speeds as well as just driving around town. purchased car nov 2019 this issue has been happening shortly after i got the car i realized it while traveling from texas to arkansas.had an alignment bought new tires thinking that was the problem. still did help. *tr

Ac compressor leaking. dealership admits ongoing issue. estimate repair at $2300. class action lawsuit in california already in motion for this issue. honda only offering partial assistance with this repair. admitted it’s deign/manufacturing flaw. honda needs to be compelled to recall 2016-2018 civics to fix this flaw. *tr

Tried to start car (in walmart parking lot) after shopping. wouldn't start. instead, all systems warning lights came on: power steering, parking brake, brake failure, tpms, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system, etc. all these warnings kept cycling through on the dashboard when i tried to start car. tow company came and jump started battery just to see if that would start car. it did! but warnings continued to cycle through all previously mentioned items while i drove car to mechanic. did not turn car off till i got there for fear it would not start again. *tr

I have a 2016 civic lx 2 door. recently i have noticed when driving on the highway my steering feels very strange. it feels almost notchy or sticky like there is some sort of bind or something. i'll be driving straight and go to adjust for a curve in the road and feel resistance at the steering wheel and have to use slight force to overcome it resulting in the car to overcorrect and jerk sideways. i've looked into it some and it seems others with the same vehicle are having the same problem ( https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/steering-is-stiff-and-notchy-feeling.14767/ ) ( https://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2016/steering/steering.shtml ). feels dangerous to me, especially if it gets any worse. *tr

A/c quit working at 30,000 miles one year out of warranty. dealer diagnosed compressor bearing failure - not covered under extended warranty for defective condensers. cost to repair: $2,000 + this is both dangerous due to inoperative defrost/defogging as well as risking passenger overheating in extreme weather - especially those of us who are seniors. *tr

As described by many other listed complaints, my car's steering sticks occasionally while operating at highway speeds. when it is stuck it requires extra effort to do minor adjustments to maintain a straight heading. the extra efforts causes the car to jerk left and right when making minor steering corrections. this issue starts after the car is warmed up and driven for about 10-20 minutes. this has been happening since i bought the car in 2016 and i've complained a few times during routine maintenance at the honda dealerships but always receive the response that they can't recreate the issue. by the amount of filed complaints and listed comments online it obviously is an issue. we love our honda civic but this problem and the amount of others with the same issue alone has convinced me to never buy a civic again. we just returned from a road trip of over 3100 miles and it nearly drove me nuts since it caused jerky recoveries during probably well more than 2500 miles of the trip. the date provided below is the first day of our road trip. again, this isn't a new issue with this car...it's been going on nearly non-stop with driving over 35-40 mph since 2016. *tr

Car has only 33k miles and needs a new compressor at a cost of $1700. there are numerous reports of compressor issues with the 2016 honda civic. they need to recall it. *tr

Started to notice slight stiffness with no veering in steering on short commutes to work going hwy speed. once i started to drive longer trips and higher speeds, i knew there was an issue with steering significantly! the steering is no longer have the gliding control like normal. now it seems more stiff like sticking while controlling the steering wheel. went from a glide steer to forcefully having to jerk steering back to control it (similar to a sticky button) but it’s the darn steering wheel. something like this to start happening out of the blue with no electrical issues and all maintenance kept up to date is a big issue! this really sucks and i have seen how much this type of issue cost. since this is a known “electrical issue” on a broad scale (fewer miles and higher miles honda) this should be a recall issue. not a consumer out of pocket expense!

A/c blows warm air on driver's side. a/c blows slightly cool air on passenger's side. a/c does not reach set cooling temperatures. vehicle was purchased from honda dealership on 4/25/20. a/c began going out on 6/7/20. vehicle has ~35,000 miles. *tr

Ac stopped blowing cold air. i bought this car in oct 2016 and haven’t even finished paying it and the ac is already having problems. *tr

The front driver side door is the only door that does not unlock or lock with keyless entry. the only way to unlock the vehicle is to manually pull out the key from the key fop and insert it into the door or open it up from the passenger side seat. there's nothing wrong with the current key fops because this was taken to the dealership for the same problem and was given 2 new key fops, but the problem still exists. this can be a huge issue when i'm trying to access the vehicle in case of an emergency and can't even get into the vehicle promptly. *tr

Air conditioner in 2016 civic failed in november of 2019. honda covered the condenser but charge full rack to replace a connecting hose, $450. now june of 2020 same issue where a/c is blowing hot air. honda dealer tells me that the condenser and compressor need to replaced. condenser is under extended warranty. compressor was replaced at a cost of $1600. these parts are all faulty need to be covered. car was purchased in 2018 as a cpo from honda dealer. car has under 63k miles. *tr

This car has the infamous 1.5 liter turbocharged earth dreams engine from honda. even after the product update applied to the car on jan 2019 while it was owned by the previous owner, it still has a high amount of oil dilution issue which will severely impact the car in the long run. parking this car in a garage after a drive makes the whole garage smell like gas. and a point to note is that it's summer here in ohio now. after a fresh oil change right after i bought it and driving a mere distance of 50 miles already had dumped so much of gas into the engine that the dipstick had high oil level. taking it to the dealership resulted no resolution as they insisted that it's normal. it's not normal to have that amount of gas in the engine so i strongly believe that honda should make a recall on this car.

Ac does not work they say it is the compressor. that it is a known problem with this year and the 2017. *tr

Ac was blowing out hot air. dealer charged $280 to recharge ac with dye. after a month, they inspected the ac and found the evaporator and condenser leaking. condenser is under the extended warranty but the evaporator is not, and they quoted me $1960 to replace it. it gets very hot in southern california and is a safety hazard when ac does not work properly. *tr

Air conditioner on driver's side not cooling/blowing warm air. honda dealer performed diagnosis and found system slightly low, and found ac compressor is leaking. cost to repair is $1900.00. our 2016 honda civic had 33k miles and is garage kept and well maintained. i searched the internet and found the compressor leaking is a common problem! this should not be happening on a car with 33k miles on it!!! i have been a honda owner for over 20 years and expect honda to issue a recall or extend the warranty on the compressor/cooling system for this known defect. this system has not lived up to the reasonable expectation of reliability of honda cars, and that an ac compressor should last more than just a few years with low mileage. this is well beyond what would be considered as normal wear and tear! i am disappointed and upset that honda so far has not done the right thing in addressing a known defect and doing right by their customers for a very expensive repair in the middle of pandemic when many have been unemployed or financially impacted. do the right thing honda!! cover this repair under an extended warranty!!! *tr

My 2016 honda has began to blown hot air through my air conditioning unit while i'm driving making it very difficult to breath.this begun on 4/2020 while driving on the highway. i took my car to norm reeves honda in the city of cerritos, ca and they said that the condensor is leaking as well as the evaporator. the condensors that honda has been using on there 2016 - 2018 honda civics have a history of failing and that is why honda is now extending there warrant of them for an extra two years however honda also know that the evaporators are defected also. i have spoke with american honda and they are aware of my problem and refuse to help. honda also knows that you can't replace the condensor without servicing the evaporator and that is the way that they avoid having to repair the defected part on your vehicle. to replace the leaking evaporator, honda said they would charge me $1,609 and even though this defective part was causing me breathing trouble, that the evaporator is not covered in the new extended warranty and that i would have to come up with the money. if honda had made me aware of this defect at the time of purchase, i would have never purchased this car. i believe this is a safety issue due to the fact that that the car is pumping hot air into the vehicle even while turned off causing breathing trouble as well a vision trouble for any driver in the car. please help in any way that you can. thank you cell [xxx] cell [xxx] email : [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2016 ac stopped working in september 2019. we purchased the vehicle in march 2019 with only 23k miles on it. we received a letter from honda in november 2019 about a factory defect concerning the ac. we took it in and was charged over $400 for a leak test. no leak was found, they put in some dye and now today on may 12th, 2020 the ac is blowing warm air again. now i'm doing research on the issue and have found many, many complaints of the same issue. i hope honda steps up when take it in tomorrow. *tr

Steering binds forcing driver to exert extra force causing oversteer. a clunking noise can be heard coming from the steering rack when this happens. this was originally detected during a drive between houston and austin may 2019 and was noticeable only when driving longer distances and higher speeds, in particular on the highway. the vehicle was taken to a honda dealer in june 2019 who identified that the steering rack needs to be replaced. because vehicle was out of warranty (40 months, 46k miles), i was told that i needed to pay for the repair which they discounted from $3,800 to $900. i opted not to make the repair because i believe honda would be issuing a recall and since then the steering has gotten worse, occurring almost every time i drive the car at any speed when outside temperatures are above 80f. honda is aware of the issues as it has changed the part number for the electric power steering rack one or two times since the vehicle originally came out, but has yet to issue a recall. latest part number is 53650-tbc-a22. has not resulted in an accident yet, but i will be repairing as it is happening all the time now and i believe it is a matter of time before an accident occurs. *tr

Steering stiffens up veers, feels locked, and requires excessive force to correct causing a sway into an adjacent lane. this usually happens after vehicle is driven 20-30 mins and speeds above 40mph. internet research shown this is a common eps failure on this vehicle. the eps electronic power steering rack is a severe safety concern, and extremely expensive to replace, and should not fail so early in its life. request nhtsa require honda to recall or extend the warranty. *tr

After 30-60 minutes on a drive in 70+ degree weather the steering starts "sticking". it is not smooth and results in overcorrecting. issue was brought to dealer attention last summer while under warranty and could not be found because the car was not driven long enough. looking at the complaints here common issue. now not under warranty and warmer temps brought back the issue. needs eps recalled and replaced.*dt *tr

Air compressor needed to be replaced at 26,000 miles and cost $1200 at the dealer. the a/c was blowing hot air. i live in florida so this is unacceptable and not safe for children or elderly. i have had the car since day one and religiously maintain and take care of the vehicle. the man at the dealer said the condenser is under extended warranty only to find out that it was the compressor. a quick online search shows that 2016 honda civics have massive numbers of both condenser and compressor failures, leaking freon into the atmosphere. this needs to be a recall on the part of honda. *tr

Air conditioner started blowing hot at 35956 miles in motion

After driving for around 30 minutes the steering starts "sticking". it is not smooth and results in overcorrecting because you have to sort of unstick it to keep the car in a straight line on the road. never experienced this before in any car but can see from reports on the internet that it's a definite problem with honda civic. i bought this car used in jan 2020 and have only drive a little over 2000 miles since that time. the car has about 32,000 miles on it. *tr

Ac compressor seal “broke” after 40,000 miles. honda has had this problem on these cars but haven’t issued a recall! they want $2000 to fix their mistake. with no ac my wife was borderline getting heat exhaustion. stationary. *tr

The a/c compressor failed, shooting out ice particles into my face. honda acknowledges the condenser was faulty from the factory and replaced that component, but refuses to acknowledge that the faulty condenser probably shortened/cause issues with the life of the compressor causing it to fail. is cost prohibitive to repair and lack of air conditioning causes health and visibility issues with the front windshield in the winter.

After i drive for about 30 minutes the steering wheel feels like it has a catch in it. it mainly happens on the highway. when making minor movements trying to keep it in the lane it feels like it catches and i have to push through it, the car starts weaving a takes a few second to gain control of it. this problem became very obvious when i was driving from alabama to illinois. it happened the entire way there and back. i almost lost control a few times. incredibly scary, especially when other cars are near.

My eps system it doesn’t register that my car is fine but it keeps making my battery die and i have to keep getting it jump i seen there was a recall for us nov, 10, 2016 i haven’t even had my car a year yet and this problem has been going on. since i have gotten the car

Our civic ran out of freon literally at 36,100 miles on our way to las vegas for a wedding where it was 110 degrees all weekend.ac stopped working!! took to dealer they did a diye test they told us couldn’t find any leaks i had to pay for the freon to be filled back up again they gave me a form from american honda to request my refund they denied it which i couldn’t believe so all the freon went into the atmosphere that’s an environmental hazard- 9 months later now today april 2020 the car ac went hot again took it to the dealer they said there was no freon now they said it leaked out again it even though they check for the leaks and they want to $3000 to fix it this needs to be recalled

Electric parking brake on my 2016 honda civic sedan will not engage. i bought the car brand new from honda. there was a recall for this problem for over 350,000 models already but my car was not included. my electric parking brake stopped working in late 2017. i called honda civic already but they refused to fix it. i had one incident when i was in motion in the freeway; my car went from 65 mph to about 35-40 and skid and zig zagged; the car behind me almost hit me but was able to evade hitting me. after that i stopped using the brake altogether. unable to use electric parking brake anymore as i am afraid the car will roll down when parked on hills. *tr

The steering wheel on my 2016 civic sedan ex-t becomes jerky or sticky after driving roughly 30 minutes on a hot day. it makes highway driving very dangerous. when making small adjustments from on center, the steering wheel is hitting resistance side to side. you are forced to overpower it locking up causing unintentional swerving. why doesn't the safety recall for 2017-2018 steering gearbox replacement also apply to 2016 model years? i have had this issue since at least 60k miles, now at over 100k. i have had to switch to working overnights during the summer to avoid this very issue. i have found that taking the under tray off extended my driving time slightly before the issue reappears. however, this creates a parachute under my car now the under tray is removed. now summer is back, i am here now to plead with someone to please force honda to remedy this obvious flaw. there are many accounts exactly like this. its a problem on every car, although not everyone drives their car enough to experience it. i have taken my car to the honda service after warranty with no answer then. i will be forced to sell my car or try and remove the steering rack myself and spend money i shouldn't need to. honda created a faulty eps on all 10th generation civics 2016-2018.

The electric brake system problem.searching for recalls and other issue. the brake system it is a defect from the honda malfunction issue that had affect many 2016 and 2017 vehicle.this issue can easily provoke a crash

I have had the vehicle for 4 years and kept up on maintenance; the last maintenance was performed in march 2020. i was driving the vehicle on a city street (2-way street) and started hearing a clicking noise and smelled smoke. the front passenger then noticed flames outside of his window. i tried to stop the vehicle but the breaks wouldn't work. i was able to coast the vehicle to a nearby street opening and we were luckily able to escape. the vehicle went up in flames and exploded at least once before the fire department arrived. the vehicle is a total loss. according to the fire report, the cause of the fire is, "failure of equipment or heat source"; the listed area of fire origin is, "engine area, running". *tr

I recently purchased my 2016 honda civic ex sedan on february 5th, 2020. the ac almost immediately doesn't work and i think nothing of it because i have windows and then when i finally have time to take it to a shop to get checked out, they recharge the ac freon and when it runs it sounds like it's leaking a lot and i didn't think think of it until the ac no longer works after a day, i take it back and they say it all leaked out and to replace the compressor which is leaking it, they want to charge me $1800 and i don't have that kind of money so i've been going along with ac and its getting really hot in cali summer. i just think that's a huge environmental and safety issue and honda america should definitely pay for it because i'm not the only one complaining, forums all over the states have people complaining about it and some people have even replaced their compressor 2 or 3 times(and payed for it themselves). this is an issue among all of the 10th gen civic sedans and coupes. you may share all of my info with the manufacturer or all investigative parties for any reason they need if needed.

I brought my 2016 honda civic to darling' s honda in bangor, maine for steering problems. the steering sticks in one position and requires a little force to turn the steering wheel to correct the direction. the sticking causes the vehicle to jerk, and sticks again in the other position. it does not always do this, the vehicle must be driven for a while sometimes. i advised the service advisor (sa), bradley gonya, that numerous other people (several honda forums) have had the same issue, and they all stated that it was the electronic steering causing the problem. the sa, said they hooked it up to the computer to find a code, to which there was no faulty code. the sa, said they road tested the vehicle but could not duplicate the concern. *note: mileage in 38290, mileage out 38291 as stated on receipt ( ½ mile out test drive and ½ mile back. sa stated that the ball joints and struts checked ok. removed outer tie rod ends from knuckles and rechecked steering, no problems found. the vehicle was there for one week, the sa stated that they would check it daily to try to duplicate the problem. i advised the sa that the vehicle needed to be driven to duplicate, and that i did not want to pay the outrageous $120 per hour rate for them to just look and ride, and i restated that the problem was the electronic steering system. the sa stated that unless the computer states that there is a problem, they can’t change the part.

Purchased car in july 2016, single owner, took the car into the dealership, capital honda in olympia, wa on 4/10/2020 due to no cool air form ac system, informed that the compressor has oil and refrigerant leaking from compressor, the compressor is required to be replaced to fix. i have never had any service or maintenance performed on the ac system prior to visit on 4/10/2020. i elected to not have the estimated $1800 repair made at this time. i will scan and send in the repair estimate if required.

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments. driving at highway speeds to make a minor adjustment to stay in my lane requires a bit of extra force to free up the "stuck" steering wheel before i make the minor adjustment, but to make the minor adjustment the extra force required to free up the stuck steering wheel sometimes causes a major adjustment like drifting into another lane. i've determined that this normally occurs after the car has been driven for 20-30 minutes and at higher ambient temperatures outside. happens at highway speeds as well as just driving around town. we bought the vehicle used in january of 2020, this issue has been happening for the past two weeks now.

1) the ac only have cool air but it is not cold. it is not even as cold as the outside air. the technician said that the compressor and condenser is working fine, so it has to be the systems leaking air. 2) the front passenger window is occasionally cannot roll down by both buttons from driver or passenger side. it has to take a while and aggressively pushed down the button from passenger side multiple tike to be able to roll the window down. 3) touch screen intermitten automatically flickering like someone pressing on it.

The a/c compressor is broken due to the faulty condensors that have now been recalled. honda is not doing anything to address this and is knowingly allowing freon to be leaked out into the atmosphere on all these faulty civics.

My car ac is blowing hot air since january 2019. my car is making sound whenever i turn on. february 28, 2020, my car was suddenly stopped when i was driving on the freeway.

My stationary car was parked on a flat surface in the garage. i went inside when my neighbor informed me that the car had backed out of my garage and rolled down the hill into my neighbors driveway, hitting their car. no one was in the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated the steering failed. the contact stated that extra effort was needed when turning the steering wheel in either direction. the contact stated that no warning light was illuminated when the failure occurred. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage 53,651.

While driving the steering gets stiff and when you turn steering wheel it darts unexpectedly to the right or left . this car is a 2016 with only 31000 miles on it. i hope it doesn’t get any worse because it’s not safe. n

I was driving down interstate 30 at 70 mph when i heard a large explosion. i pulled off of the interstate to check my tires and finally realized the sunroof exploded. it was not raining, there was not a dump truck in front of me, i was not on my phone or distracted, i was paying close attention to the road and the sunroof exploded out of the blue. there was no point of impact below the glass insert, but the entire sunroof was shattered into a million pieces.

I was driving my wife to her doctors appointment in melbourne florida. after 20 minutes at highway speeds 55-65 mph i noticed the steering wheel seamed to be sticking in the neutral position.if i had to correct left or right i would have to use force and it would snap and jump about an inch causing me to weave into the next lane. i pull off at the next intersection to check my tires and could not find a problem. i noticed that after i slowed down to less than 40 mph the steering worked fine, i got back on the interstate got up to speed and it started sticking again.got off the interstate and took back roads the rest of the way there and home. took it out the next day and it would not do it but now afraid to take long trips for fear of having an accident. checked the internet and found hundreds of complaints about this and no recall.why doe's someone have to die to get things fixed.

A/c not working. just hit 3 years and 50,000 miles and now no more cold a/c. i took car in to local dealer and they just tried to say my system needed recharging and had no leaks. i told them i wanted my car back because i know they, knew if this issue and was just avoiding trying to fix the problem, at my expense. a whole $390 quote to recharge. took my car to locale reparie shop and guy looked at my for 5 minutes and told my compressor was bad, and he's had 5 other people come in with same issue. this issue needs to be addressed.

I bought my car in april 2016 and in september 2016 i complained about the ac blowing hot air. honda told me they found nothing. i received a letter from honda november 2019, that there were issues with the condenser. assuming this was the problem i took it so they can take a look at it. because it was a leaky compressor and not the condenser, i had to pay $150 for diagnostics. from other complaints i have read here, there is obviously a problem with a leaking compressor. how convenient for honda!! they are now profitting from these diagnostics test and ignoring that their ac has other problems. and to top it off they are charging $1600 to fix a faulty ac.

I purchased this year after my 3 year lease was up. within months, the ac started blowing hot air. i found out (only by looking online) that there was a reported issue with the ac condensor. i called honda of america, they confirmed that if it was found to have an issue not due to damage, they would pay for the assessment ($150) and the replacement. i took it in, the honda dealer said yes, the condensor needed to be replaced, and would be under warranty, but also the compressor and front seal, for a total of near $2000. i called honda of america back, they called the dealer to confirm and simply informed me that yes, i'd have to pay. this extended warranty seems less like a way of acknowledging an issue with the vehicle, and more as a ploy to get recent buyers off lease to pay thousands of dollars to honda dealers. i've seen multitudes of people report online with this same issue, there should definitely be a recall or at least the extended warranty should cover the entire ac system.

My 2016 honda civic touring while driving approx. 60 mph on the interstate in about 60 degree weather while raining. my sunroof exploded the center portion of it which in turn damaged my drunk and if someone was behind me could have had other catastrophic events. nothing hit my car i heard the explosion sounded like a gunshot then seen the big chunk of glass hit my trunk and heard it as well.

System throws codes non stop recently electronic brake system light emission light saying trans and ecu aren't on same program. every time i take to honda they wanna blame the owner. i go there with tons of documents about how others having same issues but they won't do anything about this, i'm told i have to pay in order for them to diagnose the issue and that's with an extended warranty bwt. they will come up with every excuse not to help you, honda is putting a lot of drivers in danger by not fixing these system and computer problems . i work for a honda dealership i know what and how mechanics are instructed to do

Over 12 different times in the past 6 months since i purchased the car it has had serious electrical issues ranging from locking itself with the keyless fob inside the vehicle during a snow storm, all windows including moon roof rolling completely down during a rainstorm when parked or in motion. when parked, the alarm blaring non stop for hours and the battery dying completely without warning or drainage on my part of any kind. all systems on the car shut down completely after loss of power including the braking system and you can dive it that way. it brakes hard on its own on the freeway. there is a usb port in the center console right next to cup holder that can get wet if you have a drink in there. i notice the weather conditions were cloudy, raining, or snowing during the majority of the bigger issues.

Steering wheel is peeling off leaving sticky residue underneath

Every time i change or check my oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. when i take the dip stick out and smell it, all i smell is gasoline.

My 2016 honda civic only has less than 25000 miles, the ac had not working since this summer, after i took the car to schaumburg honda in illionis, they said the condenser is find but compressor has a leak which will cost over $1000 to be fixed. i decided not repair but still was charged $140 for the inspection. totally not acceptable!

Faulty air conditioner system that has an extended warranty covering the compressor and refrigerant leaks.

I was driving straight down i-20, the only car close to me was behind me and in the other lane. there were no overpasses or potholes. there was a loud noise like a car backfire or gunshot, and i thought i must have blown a tire. i pulled over to the side of the road and discovered my moonroof had shattered - luckily the shield had been closed. honda refused to consider that it might be a defect and said that even if it was, it didn’t matter as my car wasn’t under warranty. i asked to speak to a manager several times and was refused.

I bought a honda civic 2016. i notice that my front led light maker does not work only left side work and it is about to go out too. sometime it goes on as its please. and air condition does not blow cold air . i hope they recall all these problems..

Steering wheel sticks while attempting to drive straight causing the car to either drive to the right or left. this happens while driving for approximately 30 minutes or so and especially has an effect on the vehicle at higher speeds. multiple forums and over 60+ complaints on this and no recall yet?

I have a 2016 honda civic. after 20 minutes driving on the highway, the steering wheel stiffens up a lot and the car starts drifting left or right. therefore, i have to use excessive force to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction it is drifting in. this occurs every couple minutes. i have to essentially drive in a zig zag formation to stay in the same lane. after getting off the highway and onto local roads, the problem persists on local roads but is less frequent than on the highway. having this much difficultly steering the car is a huge safety concern and can lead to car accidents. at the honda dealership, they determined that the steering rack had to be replaced. since the warranty period for the car has already passed, they quoted me over $3,000. there is an existing recall by honda on the 2017 and 2018 civics for the electronic power steering system (eps). but, the eps in the 2016 model gets overlooked. 2016 civic drivers should not have to shell out so much money to get a car with a properly function eps.

I purchased a 2016 honda civic for my son in 2016. i received a notice about ac problems this year. i contacted my son and asked him if he had problems with the a/c. he reported that it doesn't blow very much air and the air never gets cold. so i had him take to dealership. he was told that the recall for a/c affected only one part of the unit which they could fix under no cost...but they said that there was a huge hole in the air compressor and this was not covered. they quoted over $2,000 to replace air compressor. i found this hard to believe and researched to find out what causes a hole in the compressor that makes it beyond repair and the only information i could find were others having the same problem with 2016 honda civic faulty air compressors. again when i tested it myself, it was not blowing cold air and sometimes not blowing air at all. since i purchased vehicle, it seems like system was not fully capable of defrosting windows in front and back and figured the design was bad.

Steering at 40 plus mph gets stiff making it difficult to stay in lane

Air conditioning not blowing cold after 3 months of filling up freon.

I have a honda civic 2016 and my ac was not working since last year 2018. i took my car to the dealer ship and being told that i need to pay $295 for the diagnosis which i refused to do it. i did some research to see if anyone has the same problem and yess they do and a lot. i took my car to the dealer ship today after i got recalled letter for the condenser. after 6 hrs, they called me and told me that my condenser is good, but my compressor is not and the repair fee will be up to $1200. if i refuse to fix it, i still need to pay $395 for the diagnosis fee which is stupid. i looked it up again and had read a lot of complaint about the compressor. i am paying off my car which i own for almost 4 years and now everything is already broken. this is my first honda car and i regret that i chose honda. i hope honda do some research and read about people complaint and do something about it. never buy honda again.

Vehicle touch screen turned green. cameras stopped working. screen beeps intermittently when handheld device is connected to the infotainment screen. will begin to work again aftet a few minutes pass.

I've had my car for less than a year and on three separate occasions it has failed to start. the first time it happened, i did a google search and saw that this was a common problem with the car. i found a youtube video that gave instructions on a possible remedy -- which included going under the hood of the car and finagling with the battery, etc. my husband tried this remedy and once my car started, i immediately took it to the dealership. at the dealership i was told that my battery was dead; they replaced the battery. months later, with my new battery, this happened again. my husband tried the remedy again but when i took it to the dealership i told him that they should look further into this issue because it is not just the battery. to me, it was some kind of electrical glitch. the dealership informed me that because they could not replicate the problem of the 'no-start', there was nothing they could do. at 6 months pregnant i told them that i was being left in a vulnerable position with a very unreliable vehicle. i told them that a google search would show that this was happening with many honda civics and that this must be a known issue. they said they would have a honda representative contact me and that never happened. i told myself that if this happened again, i would do nothing myself. i would get my car towed to the dealership. well, of course, it has happened again at 9 months pregnant. i had my car towed to the dealership because it again has not started. the car remains in accessory mode and the brakes and shift gear is locked. i truly think i have a lemon vehicle because this company is refusing to look further into this issue. to note, each time the car hasn't started, it has been after i've turned the car off and returned to it a short time later, either at home on the street or at work in the parking lot.

Engine oil level continuously creeping above max fill line after every oil change. note: oil measured at same location in garage and at same temperature, and oil allowed sufficient time to drain back into oil pan.

Received a letter from honda about a/c condenser leaks. took it to the dealership, said that condenser is fine that is the compressor that is leaking. total job cost is over $1200. called honda, said that compressor is not covered in warranty extension.

I purchase this car in june of 2019; i had the car for approx 5 months. i told the honda dealer mechanic that something was wrong with the brakes when i bought it. i brought it back in september. they claim they checked the brakes and everything was find. i had a maintenance check and an oil check. a month in half later i experience the problem with the brakes i was complaining about in september. on 11/14/19 i drove my car to a location no problems. i parked the car . when i went back to turn on the car that’s when the brake lights came on saying electrical brake problem. i read they had a recall on the electrical brake system. i wonder did this car ever got fixed from the recall. turned my car on and the brake system light begin flashing stating electric parking brake problem. the red light continued blinking. the car was in park when this happen. the car was stationary. i drove the car on with the warning lights still on.

I bought a 2016 honda civic brand new. it has 32000 miles on it. the ac quit working in september this year. summer temperatures reach well above 110 f in mesa, az. after spending one week in a rental car and 300 dollars, finally got my car back. my ac worked only for one month and now is blowing mostly hot air. i am very concerned that the dealer is going to say that my guarantee is expired this time. maybe a class action law suit is needed before a serious heat stroke kills somebody.

When i turn on the car all of the electrical lights turn on and the car locks, i can't move it from the p (park) shift. this has happened to me in the last 2 1/2 months, 3 times.

On 10-31-19, driving my 2016 honda civic 1.5 turbo engine taking my kids to school. car was driving well, until a reach about 1 mile, while making a left turn the car loss power and can only drive up to 15 mph. i have to drive my car back home and get my other car. the honda never regains normal power. the same date in the evening, i drove the honda for about 3 miles around my neighborhood and never loss power. the following date, i drove the car and suddenly again loss power while making a right turn a block away from my house. drove back my honda back to my house with the car never regaining normal power. the honda civic only drives well for less than a quarter mile and then suddenly loss power, especially when making a turn. this is a safety hazard. when the car loss power it only drives up to 15 mph (which takes several seconds to reach 15 mph) and never regain normal power. this loss of power started on 10-31-19, which was a very cool day about 24-degree fahrenheit. my car is not driver able any longer. now that this happen, i research problems with 2016 civic and found out that honda had an issue with 1.5 turbo engine since 2017. one month and half prior to this happen, i took my car to the honda dealer services twice and only want to charge me with things that the warranty did not cover and could not tell me what was wrong with my car. honda dealer should had known the problems my car has are relate to oil dilution in the engine, but decided not to address it. now, i have a car that is not driver able and not safe to drive. honda place my family life in danger, such that the street around our city, cars drives between 55 to 70 mph. this easily could cause a car to re-end or t-bone the car while making a turn on a busy traffic street.

The steering is very jerky and sometimes stick. it sticks and you have to snatch it in order for it to turn. this is very dangerous at high speeds on the highway. the steering wheel gets stuck while driving over 55.

A/c started blowing hot air around 40,000 miles. took it to the dealer who refused to perform a diagnosis because the parts are on a national back order. this is very unsafe in the summer to drive a 7 year old and infant without a/c. i'm considering trading it in for something older and without this new a/c system.

The air conditioning system in my car started to blow hot air on the driver's side while remaining cool on passenger side. i took it the dealer where i bought the car and was told that the condenser had a leak which was caused by a rock or rocks. i was told that although there is a 10 year warranty on the condenser it doesn't apply because the part didn't fail, it was due to road debris. this is despite the fact that the front of this model of honda is completely open under the bumper easily allowing small rocks and bugs to enter and be embedded in the condenser. i was told that the compressor "blew up" because it was still running with low freon and would not be covered either. this is despite the fact that the vehicle should have a low pressure switch which shuts off the compressor when there is low freon to prevent this type of damage. i was told the cost of repairs would be $1854. the service manager has not returned my multiple calls to discuss my concerns about the vehicle. i have had all of my service done at the dealership and when this started becoming an issue last year i would have thought honda would address it and let consumers know what steps could be taken to prevent the damage - if that is what caused the condenser to fail. as other complaintants have noted this is an issue for clearing the windshield in rainy weather, i have already experienced that problem and it is an issue in hot weather especially for people with disabilities affected by hot weather, the elderly and children. i can provide the dealer estimate and pictures of the car's front and condenser if that would be helpful.

Car has 19800 miles. this monday will be the 4th time i will be at dealer because the a/c is once again blowing warm air. after the 3rd time i switched dealers. they replaced the lines and that was short lived. just before the warranty ended i purchased an extended warranty for $1500. i live in florida and this has been a nightmare. each time it takes 3.5 hrs. to run a diagnostic. corporate supposedly knows of the problems. nothing is being done. do a search on google on this car with a/c problems and there are many, many complaints

Every single dashboard warning light and system control lights come on. get message that system is initializing. says problem with tire pressure system, stability, brake system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, hill start assist problem, etc. despite numerous attempts, these lights will not go off. steering is loose and feels out of control.

A/c compressor failure.

After driving my 2016 civic (with less than 18k miles) on the highway for more than ~15 minutes, the steering became difficult to turn away from center. this sticky steering requires additional effort to turn the wheel from straight. this was very noticeable even when trying to keep the car in my lane. and after the steering becomes sticky, it persists even at lower speeds off the highway. my local honda dealer diagnosed (and replaced) a failed electrical power-steering rack. i saw many other people describing this same problem in various online car and civic forums.

A/c went out at 24,000 miles- this is a huge safety hazard, especially with all black interior. took vehicle in to dealer and was told something punctured the a/c compressor, very likely a small rock bounced up and hit it. called honda and was told because the mechanic said it was an outside object that caused it, they would not cover it. vehicle hasn't been driven anywhere other than established roads. honda rep was extremely rude and argumentative. asked for a supervisor and was told "i am the supervisor, there's no one else you can speak to." researched verbatim what was told to me by the mechanic and there are thousands of people having the same issue. clearly a faulty design/design flaw on honda's part. could be over a grand to fix. there are also numerous vehicles being traded in to the dealership with the same issue, some at 12,000 miles.

My vehicles just past 3 year period and air conditioner is blowing hot air. took to dealer and they say low on feon and needed recharge because only seeing 120kg out of 420kg gas. must have leak somewhere.all my pervious car i had have no issue w/ lost of feon. something is going on and dealer is not telling me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic, the contact was informed that the engine was leaking freon. the contact informed atlantic honda (1375 sunrise hwy, bay shore, ny 11706, (631) 665-0005) of the defect and was informed that he would have to pay for diagnostic testing. the contact also notified the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not under warranty; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 25,000.

Ac is not blowing cold air. my mechanic says that the ac compressor system is leaking and would need to be replaced. my car is at around 38000 miles and it has been less than 3 years since i bought it. this is completely unacceptable and absolutely unbearable during the summer.

Ac expansion valve failed prematurely (before 50,000 mi) but outside of factory warranty. causes ac to be inoperative and windows to fog up and impair visibility, especially in very humid weather. it is also a safety issue since ambient temperatures in tx and the south can easily reach 100+ before any effects of the sun or humidity.

I have issues that have been reported previously and while the vehicle was under warranty. now that the warranty is out the problem has been more severe. the 1st problem is the display for the radio, heating and cooling and the speed display has been effected some but not like the radio and cooling/heating display. it has gone blank, it has froze up. it has lost all functioning. the 2nd is the air compressor. it has a leak and apparently this is an issue with a lot of the tourings. people have replaced them and had the same issues. the displays have had problems both in drive modes and parked. i have googled on how to fix those issues and we have disconnected the battery to do the same. the cooling/heating system cools some times but not all the time.

When im driving on the freeway around 60 to 75 mph, the steering wheel sticks. i need to jerk it back to position. it happens after driving for more than 30 mins. already brought it back to the dealer 3 times in in the past 2 years but they cant seem to "replicate" the problem. i have noticed that it is getting worse. car has 34000 miles on it.

Ac compressor leaking

When driving on the interstate for about at least 15 minutes, the steering wheel sort of sticks and takes extra pressure to turn. this is especially noticeable when you’re simply trying to correct minor lane drifting to stay straight and it takes extra effort to do so. it could definitely become a safety hazard should you fail to move the wheel in enough time.

My 2016 honda civic ex-t was purchased brand new on 2016. in less than 40,000 miles, my air conditioning unit blows hot air. it is currently in the shop replacing the ac unit. they said there was a leak and i am sure refrigerant is not a safe chemical to be leaking out in the environment.

The parking brake activates randomly without my manually activating it. it doesn't happen everyday but when it does its annoying.

Car a/c just blowing warm/hot air, never gets cold and its been 100f with a heat index of 115f. car is just out of warranty. honda is refusing to admit there is a problem and will not recall despite all the complaints online and in forums.

While driving my vehicle the brakes slide (vibrate a little) this doesn't always occur but when it does it is obviously felt while using the brake pedal during driving. there is also a noise when i initially start my vehicle, i noticed the only warning light is the brake light alert.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. must use force to correct merging of the car. response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. almost feels like the wheel is sticking

Reports further allege that the malfunction in the civic a/c condensers, compressors create risks for damage to other components in the vehicles’ systems and refrigerant leaking which is definitely not good for the environment.

I purchased a used 2016 honda civic touring and didn't notice this problem right away because i didn't drive it long enough on the highway. after driving the car on the highway for at least 30 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go. i found many complaints about this on the forums and some have been told it's eps rack. honda needs to recall and replace this. someone even made a video on this issue http://youtube.com/watch?v=w5x_cavhxmm

When driving the car in certain situations the car will momentarily apply the brakes automatically rather hard for a period of a second or less. this occurs when on a highway and driving with the adaptive cruise control engaged and when passing a tractor trailer truck. it appears to happen only under certain situations such as sunlight angle and the color or reflection from the truck are interfering with the cars sensing brakes can also be automatically applied rather hard when exiting a highway ramp without using a turn signal. this can happen without the adaptive cruise control applied so i suspect it is related to the collision avoidance feature. i have owned this car since new and these events have occurred more then a dozen times. on a trip driving from florida to pennsylvania on rt 95 it happened about 5 times. very frightening to have the brakes applied spontaneously at 70 miles/hr when passing a truck. i have asked about this during service at a honda dealer and they reported everything was working properly.

Anything over 30 mph, i can't keep the car driving in a straight line, it constantly drifts left and right. the power steering seems to "stick" and requires constant back and forth adjustment to control the car. newnan ga honda dealership said the entire power steering rack will have to be replaces for $3300. there are many 2016 civics with this problem. i'm far from being the only person this has affected.

The vehicle experienced an intermittent but sudden and complete loss of braking power while driving on the highway moving at around 40mph. in part due to the low speed, the vehicle was safely maneuvered off the road once braking power was regained. the car dealership was able pin the issue to an electrical circuit failure in the brake control unit (honda error codes v300-49 and v3003-68) and recommended changing the vsa modulator unit. regular scheduled maintenance done on the vehicle just a month prior to the incident at the same dealership indicated no observed issues with braking. attached is the invoice of the vsa unit replacement work performed as recommended.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. when the vehicle was started, the contact heard an abnormal tapping noise coming from the passenger side of the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed the noise was coming from the engine. the independent mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed by honda. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the dealer was not contacted. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 16v074000 (engine and engine cooling). the failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Steering the car is difficult. when the car drifts or you turn the car in either direction the steering wheel sticks. this causes you to over correct to break free the sticking sensation or causes you to drift excessively to either the left or right. controlling the car takes more force than it should require and i still can't ensure i can drive it safely. car is a 2016 and i've read several others with the same car have experienced the same thing. dealer attempted to fix by changing out the electric power steering motor ($1550) but it did not fix the problem.

The air conditioning compressor stopped working. there was a leak in the compressor.

The air conditioning blows hot air.

Sticky steering wheel. subtle movements cause resistance and force me to jerk the steering wheel in a specific direction. this only happens after you've been driving on the highway for 30-40 minutes. car was bought new in 2016.

When making small adjustments keeping a straight trajectory above 55 mph there is a "sticky point" in the steering. when lightly moving the wheel to the left or the right you encounter a point of resistance, steering through the resistance forces an over compensation making a zigzag style of highway driving. important the steering wheel will not self center even if you take your hands off the wheel, you literally have to steer back through the point of resistance to re-center the wheel. the honda part number being replaced on this vehicle and other vehicle with the same problem is 53650-tba-a01

Electronic brake assist is malfunctioning my vin series is not covered yet u see the current recall. this car is a danger to me and my family and everyone on the road.

My emergency brake would not engage properly resulting in several incidents of the car 'rolling' away after engaging the e-brake. this happened for some time until i could not engage the e-brake at all unless continuously engaging the button and waiting up to 10 minutes and 20+ 'pulls' of the brake button. if i was able to, it would not stay on for good at all times, resulting in the car rolling away quite often. this was extremely scary and unsafe. when honda said my vin was not included in the 2016 civic safety recall regarding the same issue, i decided to fix it out of pocket. however, this recall should be extended to other vins because it is the same problem and may happen again regardless of my dealership fixing it on this occasion. i thought by law, recalls happened by year, make, and model, not necessarily by the specific vin #s affected (in the past when i was contacted about a safety recall for a different car company, i was told vin didn't matter, only year, make, and model). i am extremely disappointed in honda's handling of this situation as it can cause serious injury and death and i think it's only fair to reimburse those of us who have the same exact problem with the 2016 emergency breaks but have not been included in the recall. honda did tell me that if enough people reported the problem, they might extend the vin range for the recall. this indicates to me that honda knows it's problematic in most if not all the 2016 civics. thank you for your time.

Having issues with the brakes, acts like when you brake its seem like wants to keep going, purchase 3 mos ago from dealer, tires making grinding sounds when driving on frreway with speed between 65 and 70 mpr.

The paint on my civic is peeling around the rear window. the peeling is noticeable, growing, and not a function of neglect or abuse. it's like the paint was not properly applied or there is some manufacturer error that is causing the problem. the paint color is cosmic blue. it is only peeling in one spot.

Ac compressor is leaking at 26,000 miles. at honda dealership now. honda dealership has been advised they cannot even order replacement parts to repair at this time due to honda having a hold on them. compressor is defective and should be replaced/recalled by honda.

A/c system became non functional at 41,000 miles. obviously just out of warranty. been reading all over the internet about the defective a/c system in the 2016 honda civic. i find it hard to believe that honda hasn’t issued a recall or there hasn’t been any class action lawsuits regarding this serious design flaw that honda is well aware of. since i owe less on this car than what the repairs will cost, i’m planning on trading it in for a 2020 hatchback version and hope that this defect has been corrected with the newer models.

I purchased a brand new 2016 honda civic in march 2016. within the first 6-8 months i began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. i had to call honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. then came the electrical issues. i would lock the car and all windows would be up when leaving the car but i’d return to all windows down and the sunroof open! this happened twice within the first two years of owning the car! last but certainly not least is the battery issue. the battery won’t last 10 months without issues! if you try to charge your car in accessory mode, the car battery will die and you will need a jump. i had aaa and used up all but one of my calls up on the battery issues this car has. my car insurance has roadside assistance and i had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that i was told in june that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!

When driving for 20 minutes or more on the highway the steering begins to stick while trying drive straight.

Ac component on my honda civic not working properly. this is an issue as i have done the research and seen that there are many with the same year and model as mine that are experiencing bad ac quality. my ac will be cold on the passenger side but hot on the driver side. i am looking to see if there is a recall since honda has been made aware of the issue and has now acknowledged it could be failure on their part. i bought my car used with only $35,000 miles, it worked find until it hit $38,000 and then it has started to get hot in the car.

A/c has gone bad in less than 3 years of owning the vehicle and has been reported as a common issue in 10th generation honda civics.

When temperature spikes hit the area i live in the steering seems to stick slightly when driving.

When the warmer weather started, i noticed my air conditioning was only giving out cold air on the passenger side. when brought to the local mechanic, they said they could not assess what was wrong with the air conditioner due to the design of the car for that year. i brought it to the honda dealer for repairs on may 20, 2019 where they said i needed a new condenser due to a leak. they could not say what caused the leak, but the honda service representative stayed that due to the design of the engine that year, something as simple as a rock could have easily punctured the condenser. the total amount in repairs was $907 on a three year old vehicle. it was also stated that since this is such a well-known issue, i could not file a claim through my comprehensive insurance.

Strong fuel smell in the engine along with the oil above the fill line after checking it

A/c evaporator coil had bad weld. $1600 repair after evaporator coil replacement, evac, and refill of freon.

Air conditioning system does not work. dealer wants $2,382.15 to replace a/c compressor w/ clutch and coil ($1500.26), condenser ($599.04), evacuate and recharge complete($159.95) filters and air cleaners ($122.90) , air ventalation system cleaning ($89.95). 2016 honda civic ex 70,491 miles. last year i brought the car to dealer and they vacuumed and refilled the system ($159.95). this year same problem, no cold air and now being told entire system is defective. i can not properly clear my front windshield because does not work properly because i don't have a/c .

Brake light came on flashing, brake system light, and error on panel electric parking break failure. this seems to be a recall on most 2016 models

Estoy teniendo problemas con mi carro cuando el carro esta en modo parkin esta bien pero no mas lo muevo a modo de manejo. empiesa a temblar cuando paro en una luz. lo rpm bajan y empiesa a temblar lugo lo muevo a parking otra vez y se pone normal. el carro est gastanfo mucha gasolina casi no lo uso. apenas tengo ni un mes que lo compre

There was a failure of the ac condenser causing the need to replace the whole unit, as well as the sensor. the corporate honda representative even admitted on the phone that their dealerships have reported similar issues with the condensers on the civic models, including units delivered from the factor that had already failed. a simple search of credited automotive review sites shown many examples for this model year, where the ac units have failed. as the corporate office has failed to issues a voluntary recall for this issue, i ask that you look into this and protect the consumer. thank you.

Engine stalled at highway speeds was told by the mechanic that scanned the vehicle that the computer needed to be reflashed honda stated no recall but multiple complaints online also on honda mechanic website states computer issue

My daughter was driving my car and hit a pot hole on a 2 line highway, then the tire blew out causing all the side airbags and steering wheel air air bags to deploy. the car did not hit anything else nor was involved in a collision accident.

While driving my 2016 honda ex-t dashboard lights started lighting up -emmision, eps, brake hold, etc the car immediately went into" limp mode" while traveling at 70 on the highway. i am told this caused a turbo problem and the turbo will have to be replaced. while researching on the internet this seems to be a common and reoccurring problem that is not being addressed. since it is a common problem it seems with out honda addressing the problem this will occur again with a new turbo. i am unsure if the multiple warning lights for problems that did not exist caused the turbo problems but it seems likely. since when these lights come on the car is designed to go into limp mode. this needs to be addressed. luckily i am an experienced driver and was able to handle the automatic drastic decline with out breaking while driving and coming to an almost complete stop. had the highway been busy this certainly would of resulted in an accident.

I have a 2016 honda civic ex, i was on the road for about 30 minutes in motion driving straight when the steering became hard like it was sticking. i got on the interstate and accelerated the faster i got the worse it got.it's pulls me to the left and then to the right. i then lowered my speed to 50 but it still continued to do this and has now gotten worse it never stops and is very hard to keep in one lane.know therhas been recalls on the 2017 honda civics for the exact same reason. this is a huge safety hazard. i have found that it will eventually lock up and has already caused accidents. i don't want to cause anyone any injuries or god forbid someone lose their life. it's getting alot worse . will notify honda. immediately!

The steering wheel sticks when driving on the highway. it feels like the steering wheel is catching when you are trying to keep the car in the lane. when it releases, you have to correct the steering quickly in order to stay in the lane. this a constant problem. there are no times when this does not happen. this is a huge safety risk especially when on a 2 lane highway and there is an oncoming car in the other lane.

In the summer of 2018, with the air conditioning system on, it was blowing warm air on the driver side while the passenger side discharging cold air. took the car to the dealer for inspection. the service department informed us there was a leak. a dye was added to the recharged refrigerant. early this month, april, the ac wasn't provided any cooling. took the car to the dealer and was informed that the ac compressor along with refrigerant piping was leaking and need to be replaced.

The rear facing camera fails to display on the screen when the transmission is in reverse. this has happened 5-6 times since 01/01/2019. this has only been observed after initial startup.

Randomly heard a pop, and the ac stopped working. took car to a dealership that tried to tell me it was road hazard damage. after leaving honda i called back to inquire more information, honda refused to show me the issue but told me they would charge me $200 for a diagnosis fee. something seemed wrong. checked online and saw thousands of complaints for the same issue. called honda corporate and was told to take it for a second opinion elsewhere. they knew about the ac issues and said it would be covered under warranty except my car is out of warranty because of high mileage. without the ac the defogger doesn't work. this is extremely unsafe in certain weather conditions. not sure how to get honda to recall this but it seems they have a history of ac units not working properly in cars. if someone dies on the roadway because of a visibility issue, honda will have a major lawsuit ahead of them. help us honda owners get the recall we deserve so we can safely drive the cars we spent so much money on. this is unsafe and not okay!

Vehicle was parked on driveway, when turned on it had battery and electric issues (battery just replaced by professional) ac blows out hot air (ac fluid just refilled as well by professional) and back door won't open from inside. car was purchased less than two years ago and already malfunctioning.

Was driving the car to an interview & i was probably a block from home. i was at a stop & when i began to accelerate & turn left the steering wheel locked mid drive & caused me to crash into a curb.

No cold air coming out with ac on. needed to replace a leaking ac compressor at 45,000 miles.

2016 honda civic lx, approximately 20,000 miles has a "sticky" or "notchy" feel to the steering during highway driving. the vehicle drifts slowly to one side of the lane, then when i try to correct back to the middle of the lane, the steering feels sticky and with slightly more effort to nudge it to the middle, it overcorrects slightly and is then drifting to the other side of the lane. this continues back and forth for the duration of the trip. note that this is subtle and it takes 5-10 seconds for each drift side to side. this has only happened on long highway trips after the car has been running for at least 30 or 45 minutes. i am concerned that this electronic steering problem will cause something will happen where i do not have any control of the steering. i noticed also a possible related problem when at parking speed, if i inch the car while turning and pressing the brake lightly i can feel the steering "twitch" a little.

All systems warning lights pop up on starting the car. i came home parked the car and started it 10 minutes later and all systems warning lights came on. power steering, parking brake, brake failure, collision mitigation system, tpms, lane departure system, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system . all these warnings show up on the dash.

The ac compressor is not working, and leaking fluids which is bad for the environment. purchased vehicle and dealership "charged up" the compressor, 3 days later it was not working. took it back in and they filled it up again, 3 days later it stopped working. they cannot seem to find the issue, but there is an ac compressor failure in this model, which i unfortunately have.

Engine oil level above maximum level, and the engine oil smells like gasoline.

Ac stoped working in 90 degree weather this is a safely issue especially with young children or the elderly

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the air conditioner was blowing hot air. the contact drove the vehicle to browns honda city (7160 ritchie hwy, glen burnie, md 21061, (410) 553-8014) where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor was cracked and a new one needed to be installed. the vehicle was not repaired because the dealer did not have the part. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 44,837.

I bought the car new and at about 35500 miles the steering while driving at any speed, straight always or turns it keeps feeling like it is sticking. i have been to the dealership who had me pay for an alignment even though it was not pulling. it did not work after repeated attempts. they have no other solutions. it is dangerous and i am still paying on my car so i need it.

My air condition compressor is defective and leaking the new very flammable refrigerant r1234yf gas out from the compressor itself. the shaft seal seems to be where it is leaking. this is a known problem and honda should issue a recall to replace all of the defective compressors they installed in their cars.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. must use force to correct merging of the car. response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. almost feels like the wheel is sticking. car only has 34k miles- no reported accidents. no damage to steering that i can see. many sites have similar complaints that were found by a search

A/c is gone while the car only has 30k miles on it. it just happened actually not too long after the warranty expired. as per dealer compressor, condensor need to replace dealer gave the repair cost for us $ 2150.00, as i understand from internet there are so many vehicles have same issue what i have.

Steering is notchy and when i drive the car the steering is jittery, sticky and hard to move. it’s very noticeable when driving in a straight line from speeds between 20-70 miles per hour. also when the car is in park, when i try to slowly turn the steering wheel it will shake and stuffer. it’s verybhard to move the steering rack. this is very unsafe and might cause a collision.

Steering wheel is notchy, when i drive the steering wheel sticks and there doesn’t want to turn making the car weave. also when it’s in park and you try to turn the steering wheel slowly it shakes and jitters. car feels very unsafe while driving

Touch screen panel that controls the entire settings of the car over heats and blocks out making it very uncomfortable and upsetting not being able to control your /c settings or your radio and your phone. we have taken our 2016 honda civic touring that same year back multiple times in regards to this issue. however every time we took it they would replace it. since then the touch screen panel has some what worked properly to the point where it was just slow in functioning but workable. this time on june 27, 2019 it has completly done the same thing we were facing in the beginning and this is stationary and in motion, i have tried resetting it by disconnecting the battery and joining cables together and it just didnt work it continues to not work properly since day of purchase.i would like for some one to help us resolve this issue and to replace our panel for a good working one.

2016 honda civic, air conditioning quit working causing the defroster not to work creating a dangerous visibility because the windshield remained foggy.

Sticking stering wheel. my steering "sticks" after i've been driving for about 20-30 mins at around 40/45+ mph when temperature is above 70°f. take your hand off the wheel on a slight curve and it stays with the curve. trying to do a slight correction when it's like this and it literally sticking in place for a sec then allows the wheel to turn more freely.

Bought car december 22 2016 in june 2019 ac system broke down dealer says car is out of warranty we cant help you i believe this is unfair and honda financial wants me to continue pying for a vehicle that i believe is a lemon

Refrigerant leaking not good for the environment , while driving cool air just went off and it started blowing hot air.the car only has 86,000 miles

The a/c stopped working shortly after 3 years but luckily it was still covered under my certified honda warranty. took the car to the honda dealer and the technician said a/c problems are a common problem they see. check for leaks and recharged the system. it's been 3 months now and the a/c is starting to become ineffective again.

May 2016, i purchased the re-designed 2016 honda civic coupe lx. on july 13, 2018, my ac was no longer blowing cold air. it was luke warm if that. the dealer put dye in my ac to determine any leaks. they assured me that there were no leaks but rather - my 2 year old civic - had a low charge in the system and i was charged $312 for them to recharge my ac. they told me that it was not covered under warranty. i paid the $312. they checked my car again on july 27, 2018 and assured me that there were no leaks in my ac. well, 1 year later my car is back at the dealer for the exact same issue - ac is not blowing cold. i took my car in on june 14, 2019. on june 18 2019 i received a call saying that my ac was leaking in 2 parts - the evaporator (which they told me was a defective part and would be replaced under my warranty) and the condenser had a hole in in. the condenser is not covered under my warranty because of outside influence. so now a $700 bill i must pay. as i have come to find online - there are hundreds of 2016 civic owners experiencing the exact same issue with their ac. the location of the condenser appears to be a design flaw and i now the run the risk of encountering this problem every year because something can hit the condenser as i drive. i don't feel safe driving this car because i don't know if something will kick up and hit the condenser. on june 26, 2019 as they were performing the repair, i was told my entire ac unit is contaminated??? how is that possible with a closed system that i have not touched. last year there were no issues/no leaks - per the dealer. and, now, i need a whole new ac and my condenser and evaporator are leaking!! obviously, there is an issue here. i'm currently waiting to hear from the dealer to make sure this new unit is covered under my extended warranty. all of this on a 3 year old new car!

Power window on driver's side when trying to auto close (wind up feature) it goes half way and then auto opens (goes back down). noticed multiple times when stationary (both in park, neutral, and drive with foot on brake).

Takara recall i bought the car march 2016. summers get pretty hot in ohio so of course i have to use the ac. worked perfectly that year. well the following year when i went to use it it never worked at all. blew out warm air and never cooled down. so when i contacted the dealer they said " maybe you have a pin hole in a line, maybe compressor, low freon or something else." i was pretty upset that it wasn't under warranty anymore but how could something go wrong after one summer. i have kids and i'm unable to take them anywhere in my car because it's so hot. i have a buddy who has the same year and type vehicle and he has actually the same problem. i have read plenty of other complaints about this and wonder why the ac system hasn't had a recall yet. told it could cost up to $1000.00 to fix. dealership has had complaints about this and cant do anything until a recall is in place but said they will reimburse me when there is one so hold on to receipt. seems to be a common issue. i really hope honda looks into this matter. because it is really upsetting that this happened only after one year of driving it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 45 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and seized. the contact called rick case honda (located at 15700 rick case honda way, davie, fl 33331, (954) 388-1035) and notified them of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 46,000.

Eps sub harness is made from a soy based product that attracts rodents and a common cause for wires being chewed and destroyed. as soon as we presented the problems with honda mechanic he immediately and suspiciously asked if we parked the car outside. upon his inspection of the engine he only looked at wires with predetermination that the cause of the issues was wiring. this appears to be a common compliant among the honda community and law suits have been filed, only to be dismissed due to technicalities of probable cause. the damage endangers the consumer driving because the car stalls and the driver loses the ability to steer because of the loss of power steering and function. because these are shorts occurring in the electrical system they tend to clear up in between drives making the driver believe the car is functional, but this only rises the risk to injury by accident and or even death.

My 2016 honda civic air conditioning compressor failed and no longer blows cold air. i reviewed several honda message boards and forums and discovered that this is a common problem with this model vehicle that homda refuses to acknowledge.

Ac is faulty from the factory. from the time i bought the car in 2016, the ac has been making hissing noises that were rpm dependent. when i took it in under warranty, they charged the freon and it was back to how it was in the beginning. because it was blowing cold air, i thought the hissing noise was normal. but it started blowing hot air another year after it was fixed. this time, the dealership says a faulty condensor was the culprit, and the repair bill would be $1160. it turns out many other owners of this car also experienced this same issue, where dealers charged the freon without fixing the problem before warranty, but quickly find the condensor or compressor broken after the warranty for the same symptoms.

Steering becomes very resistant to input at highway speed (60mph +) requiring considerable force to overcome often resulting in over correction. has been happening intermitantly since passing the 50000 mile marker.

I have a 2016 honda civic and about 4 months ago, while driving i noticed mostly on the interstate, that my steering wheel would get "sticky". i had taken my car in for an oil change and i addressed my concern to the mechanic. when i came back he told me him and all of his technicians drove the car and no one had a clue as to what i was talking about. over time it has gotten worse. it happens after driving at interstate speed for about 20 minutes. only when the steering wheel is positioned 100% straight. when you pull to one side, and it never matters left or right because it's both sides, it's like its stuck or pulling against you, like a resistance. then it suddenly let's go and it jerks. and then it's back the other way. so you're fighting the steering wheel the whole time driving while you're jerking back and forth side to side all over the lane. and it doesn't have to be just interstate. due to being a single mom and not having the "time off work" as well as no one believing me, here i am about 4 months later and it's so much worse. it's also summer now which i notice it's also at its worst when its blazing temperatures. it's gotten so bad that i can actually hear a noise now when it does it. i've looked this up because i felt like people thought i was crazy and with the amount of people reporting this safety issue, i can't figure how this hasn't been a recall. i understand things on vehicles need to be replaced after a while. they need maintenance and they cost money. but for this widespread issue on the same car and nothing is being done?! i bought a honda for the name, for the quality, and for the customer service, but at this point, that it's being looked over, i'm on the verge of trading it in for something other than a honda.

The air conditioning unit of my 2016 honda civic sedan failed to function normally after having worked profitably at the start of this summer season. replacing the fuses associated with the air conditioner's function did not yield in a change in performance. after having taken the vehicle to a dealership for service, it was found that the condenser of the civic was faulty. neither trauma nor damage was found by the service personnel. furthermore, they had indicated that this is quite a common complaint of this year's model. thank you for your time and for your consideration of this manufacturing issue.

There is a gap in the trunk lid that is causing water to enter into my trunk, anytime there is precipitation .

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while the contact was pulling into his driveway, the front driver's air bag deployed without warning or impact. there were no injuries. the vehicle was taken to hall honda virginia beach (located at 3516 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452, (877) 475-0724), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a case would be opened. the contact was not provided a case number. the approximate failure mileage was 33,256.

As i drove the car off the lot they tried to say it ‘‘twas bad tires they replaced it when it was really the wheel bearings. and i’m in finance with no background in car mechanics and i knew there was something wrong as soon as i drove of the lot. and then they tried to say who would have known but several of my friends and mechanics said it wasn’t obvious so they fixed it. i then told them beforehand i got the vehicle purchased that i required a state inspection to make sure it fell under the inspection rules of texas and they swore and signed off on paperwork that this was done on two separate work forms. well while i was driving i was ran off the road as my horn didn’t function at all after they had sworn they had done two inspections at this point and i have the paperwork to prove it. i could have lost my life in an accident if i had no drove off in the shoulder and the. i come back to the dealership and they try to say it wasn’t them and that it could have stopped working on its own which i find very suspicious. they then threatened to not fix my car when i said three needed to take the car back as they are not living up to the standards set dortrh. i also had the car stereo and electronics go wild and they wouldn’t stop urninf on music and turning it to max volume and it wouldn’t stop til i shut the car of whic is super distracting when i’m trying to drive.

Air conditioning system not functional (discovered may 2019). blows only hot air. 31-32k mileage on car (on may 2019). purchased car new in feb 2016. had noticed a decrease in cooling efficiency in summer of 2018, but didn't take car in for inspection, since i don't use a/c much. didn't need to use a/c again until may 2019. car was <4 months over 3 year warranty (but under 36k miles), so dealership where car was purchased refused to cover repair cost under warranty. was given repair estimate of $1,150, which was to cover cost of replacing a/c condenser, o-ring in discharge line, and new refrigerant re-charge. when driving in rainy, high humidity weather, windows more prone to fogging up because there's no cool air to blow on inside of window to clear condensation - because a/c system is non-functioning.

When driving the steering wheel starts to get a sticking feeling when trying to make small movements. this causes you to overcorrect your steering and is a serious safety issue because you can potentially run into another person or object. you feel a clicking in the steering wheel and it is most notable at higher speeds. the problem seems to worsen the more you drive. my car only have 32000 miles on it.

Upon closing the car trunk the parking lights flashed & stayed on and the car "locked-up". the car could not be unlocked using either the key-bob or the key. this issue was reported to honda (case #9624986) who basically ignored the issue stating that they had no knowledge of this issue. the car was parked in our driveway at the time. after about 30 minutes 'fooling' with the key and key-bob the parking lights went off and we were able to unlock & drive the car. there are numerous accounts of this issue found on the internet by "googling" "2016 honda civic doors won't unlock"

My ac is not working properly one vent is more cooler than the vent that is on the driver side.

Upon return to car after leaving car locked, four windows are found open all the way while shopping, parked in parking lot or parked at home or elsewhere, when opening windows from inside, glass goes up/down repeatedly, trunk opens by itself while vehicle is in motion. car is unsafe, subject to theft, or interior damage by the elements-rain, snow, etc. serious electrical/control problems. trunk problem was reported earlier to nhtsa shortly after purchase date of 3/05/2019 from dealer. dealer was also notified, they quickly checked & found nothing wrong. vehicle was driven at various speeds in interstate, county roads, local streets, at different dates, etc. *js

Steering wheel sticks (resistance to turning) when car is warmed up. most notable at highway speeds.

Car did not start, and flashed warning signs for electronic break malfunction. car was stationary in a parking lot after being dormant for approximately 8 hours. this is the second occurrence in 3 weeks, the first of which honda failed to diagnose a problem after bringing the car in for service.

A/c stopped working after 55,000 miles and owning for 3 years. when discussed with the dealer, they advised that it was the air condenser that was faulty and needed to be replaced. standard lifetime for an air condenser is well beyond the 3 year timeframe. the dealer also advised that there have been numerous 2016 honda civic's in with the same issue but there is no recall. the cost to repair this issue was over $1,000 with my dealer and should not be occurring at this point in the car's life.

So i just bought a 2016 honda civic lx 2.0 used today with 26,000 miles. the dealership was a little over an hour away and about 30 minutes into my drive home i noticed the steering felt like it was sticking on the highway at around 65mph. it felt notchy and sticky like i had to use a little force to start being able to steer again. which causes you to overcorrect a bit. this is a huge safety concern on the highway. i looked it up and there's like thousands of people talking about the exact same problem.. the solution seems to be a new steering rack assembly...

The ac keeps going out. i have to have the compressor replace twice and 2 other parts replaced twice. the freon starts to blow out of the vents into the passenger compartment. this is dangerous i always have my kids with me. we always have infections that can be attributed to breathinng in this freon. every year it gets fixed in the summer. it works fine for oyr 2 summer months then i dont have to use it that often but as soon as the heat rolls up again i take it in for a check and it has no freon left.

A/c does not work well. car blows warm air. vehicle has 32,900 miles.

Parking does not start electric parking brake problem

Had brakes done car ran perfectly fine until i drove about 71 miles out parked car and got back into car turned it on again to head back home when anti brake system warning lights came on this is electric parking brake problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem. the brake system light stays on and when accelerating the red brake light flashes until the car is either placed on cruise control or comes to a complete stop on on drive reverse it does not flash.

American honda is the most fraudulent company i ever dealt with. within the 1st year, a serious problem developed with the trunk, which randomly opens for no reason, sometimes overnight, sometimes while driving on the highway, which is incredibly dangerous. we took the car 2x to the delray beach dealer , & it claimed itcouldn’t identify or replicate the problem, & then that they fixed it. they did nothing & the problem never stopped. i wasted 2 days on these visits, accomplishing nothing. last month, now in california, & still under warranty, the trunk opened while i was away for a week, & i had water damage to > $200 of items in my trunk. i spoke with livette at honda, who told me to go to the berkeley dealer to have the car assessed. i reviewed the history of the matter, & told her i wanted to be sure the dealer would be authorized to make repairs. instead. i wasted another 4+ hours at the dealer, who said it couldn’t identify & had never heard of the issue. there are hundreds of complaints about this on line, & when i showed them the complaints & how dealers had fixed the problem, the dealer said it needed approval from honda (honda said it needed the dealer to approve the repair, so it’s like dealing with the insane). the dealer said it would call me after obtaining approval—they never did. livette was the most offensive person i have ever dealt with, lied to my face, & refused to authorize the repair & closed the case though she never even spoke with the dealer. these cars have a known dangerous defect & honda has done nothing—these cars should be recalled. the ntsb should track on-line complaints & obtain all honda complaints for the last 5 years to determine all models affected. the car’s undercarriage is also known to be defective; it is far too low & scrapes on speed bumps & gets torn off by them, parking barriers, & any road incline.

Car will not start. all system warning lights flash: eectric parking brake parking, vehicle stability assist problem, anti-lock brake system problem, brake system problem, power steering. will start with a jump start. this is not a everyday occurrence. took it into honda, they said it was the batter. here we are 2 days later and the car is doing the same thing. we have been stranded numerous time and the problem has been ongoing for over a year.

While driving at highway speeds over 65mph, the steering gets "sticky" the driver has to apply extra force to move the steering wheel while diving straight. the minor steering corrections that we use to keep a car centered in a lane now become something that requires two hands because once you "break" the steering wheel free, the car over-corrects and you need both hands to keep the car in the lane you are driving in. the force required isn't a lot, but enough to make a long road trip undoable.

Lug nuts are self loosening. i do understand that lug nuts should be checked periodically. however, with 12,000 miles i have had two tighten nuts on three occasions. in particular the right front wheel. i first noticed a clicking sound when making a turn, that clicking would go away after a mile or so then after a week or two turned into brake grinding. went to check the brakes and discovered the tire was loose and it was the wheel rocking back and forth making the clicking sound. the caliper not being aligned with the rotor would grind until the car was driven a few blocks and the grinding would cease. i now recognize the symptoms and correct it immediately. i suspect this is not an isolated case and a definite safety hazard.

Was driving to work on 1/26/2019 at about 11:30 am when i heard a very loud pop. i thought maybe i had blown a tire and turned down my music. i heard a lot of wind and after verifying that all of my windows were up i opened the visor to my sunroof to discover that my sunroof had exploded. when this occurred, there were no other vehicles surrounding me and i was not driving under an over pass, therefore i was not hit by any flying debris. once i was able to pull over it appeared that my sunroof had exploded in an outward fashion. as if someone had busted it out from the inside. there was also no glass that shattered down into my sunroof visor which further leads me to believe that i was not hit by debris. after doing some searching, it would seem that this is not an uncommon occurrence and there have been hundreds of instances of spontaneously exploding sunroofs in cars manufactured in the last couple years. very scary and dangerous. unfortunately this happened on a weekend so i will have to wait until monday to see if honda will repair the issue free of charge (as they should).

I purchased this vehicle from a honda dealership vancouver, wa in 2016. recently, the car alarm would go off randomly throughout the night. i took the vehicle into the dealership and the battery was checked and replaced. this did not solve the issue. i went in again to the dealership and they did a diagnostic check of electronic system and found security codes relating to hood switch in the security history. they suggested to replace the hood latch/switch assembly and recheck. another person i spoke with, that had the same issue, claimed that replacing the hood latch assembly was unsuccessful. i asked about manufacturer's warranty since this item isn't covered by dealership warranty of 3 yrs/36k miles. the defect is from a part that is caused by an electrical issue and falls under manufacturing error and not a wearable part that has anything to do with warranty or something that fatigues over time. i wrote honda regarding this. in the meantime, i cannot use my security system, that i paid for on the vehicle, due to it possibly draining my new battery. honda (regional service manager) stated, over the phone, that they would not cover the cost of replacement and that it falls under their warranty of parts. this issue is hazardous because the sensor for the car alarm trips itself electronically when the hood is shut. this could possibly cause a fire and/or greater damage to the vehicle or others. additionally, i drive for rideshare and this puts risk to my clients as well. the alarm sounds only when the car is locked and alarm set while parked. it occurs every few hours after alarm is set. after inspecting the hood myself, i could see no damage to the hood latch and would not need a replacement hood latch assembly. this issue is one of electronic nature, involving the car alarm sensor on hood latch, security system, and the electronic car maintenance monitoring system.

Not sure if it's the battery or the battery sensor but my car when i want to turn it on it'll not turn on and it would just flash all the lights in the board and won't fully turn on.

When driving my car at 60 or 65mph on the highway after several minutes the steering wheel stays stuck and makes driving difficult causing strong pulls to the sides and causes insecurity and difficulty when driving long distances. i took it to the dealer in june of 2018 explaining the situation and a honda technician made the test with me next and it happened the same. he reported it and they only made one battery change. today january 13 of 2019 the problem continues and is getting worse. the car has 26,114 miles today.

It has a break recall i didn’t receive a notice or any acknowledgement from the dealership about this

This is my second complaint in a week. i had parked at a location 30 minutes from home for about an hour. went to start the car and it would not start. the brake seemed like it was already pushed down to the floor. a warning came across the screen that read brake system problem. i thought the battery was dead so i had it jumped and it started right away. this is ridiculous for a car that’s 2 years old. i think i’ll be getting rid of this car.

The vehicle was in motion on the highway and the brakes failed to apply as expected. this resulted in a rear end collision that fortunately didn't have any fatalities. the airbags also didn't deploy during the collision. the brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor, but instead of a response back and pressure coming back from the braking system, the braking pedal felt loose and the car instead of coming to a stop, continued to slowly decelerate. i've been driving the car for 2 years and my expectation was that the car should have come to a complete stop instead of just slowing down within the distance between my car and the car in front. there were also no skid marks on the pavement. i suspect the brakes failed and have contacted the manufacturer, the dealership and the insurance company in trying to get this looked into by someone that can come up with a report on the status of the brakes. unfortunately nobody cared so far, so as a last resource i'm reaching out to nhtsa for possible guidance or even a braking system car inspection.

We were at a complete stop at the outer city street signaling to make a left and a car hit us from behind without breaking at 60 -70 speed and the airbags did not deploy. the back of the vehicle is smashed in and not one airbag went off. there were two adults (driver & passenger) and two children (backseat).

The computer system shuts down when battery dies and cant get into car i was locked out of my car a few times til i popped trunk and went thru the back to get into my car and battery life leaves quickly because of all the bluetooth use and other care hazards. so iam left with a black monitor screen not able to operate my system

My 2016 honda civic rolled out of my garage while it was in park. my daughter had just gotten home. she initially turned the car off in drive. she realized that it was still in drive and shifted to park and restarted the car. the car rolled out of the garage while still in park. my daughter attempted to exit the car, was knocked down and ran over by the runaway vehicle. she was injured by this accident. the car hit a tree across the street from my house. i found a spring in the garage floor that i thought belong to the car. i contacted america honda and took the car to the dealer. they were unable to duplicate this incident. they said there was nothing wrong with the car. i researched on the internet and found other similar incidents involving the 2016 to 2018 honda civic. i made honda aware that there was a class action lawsuit for this same issue on the internet. the rolling back in park issue had happened twice before to me.

The steering sticks when driving. when driving, even just on a straight path, you have make steering adjustments to keep the car in the lane. the steering will stick and when it "breaks loose,", the car overcompensates and jerks. this makes it difficult to keep the car in the lane and on the road. especially when driving on an interstate requiring higher rates of speed. vehicle has been to the dealership twice. however, technicians were unable to "replicate" the problem. i made them aware of similar complaints with the steering and was told honda will not allow replacement of the steering rack without replication of the issue first. the vehicle is unsafe. something needs to be done to address this issue!

Air conditioning a/c has been not working for the last month or two. it started off blowing warm air on the drivers side and cool on the passenger side. after a few days it’s warm on both sides now. this is an ongoing problem with other civic owners i know. this needs to be fixed by honda. i’ve had honda vehicles for plenty of years. accords, crv and other year civics. i’m ready to give it up, so much for reliability.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 5 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but it was difficult to slow or stop the vehicle. when the vehicle was started, a "brake system failure" warning message appeared. the vehicle was towed to autonation honda thornton road (located at 1979 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (770) 674-6078) where it was diagnosed that the brake software needed to be updated. the software was updated; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

My car would not start and on the dashboard under the mph it said electronic parking brake problem. after playing around with the parking brake a bit, the car eventually started. upon looking up my vin it shows i do not have a recall on my car for the kc6 recall, but my car seems to be affected. please help.

Feels like the wheels are going to fall off i have taken it to several other mechanics and they say its throwing codes for electronic stability control electric power steering and the electric parking break but 3 dealerships say the vehicle is fine

This is the second time in two years that my car doesn't start due to an electric brake problem. the first time it happened i was at home, and pressed the brake pedal to start the car, it immediately showed there was an electric brake problem on the dashboard. i had the car towed to the dealership, but unfortunately when we arrived the car started without any issues. they dismissed it and said it was probably a glitch in the system. today i started the car, drove to a store and when i was ready to leave the car would not start. this time everything flickered, the brake pedal became very stiff making it impossible for me to press down on it, and the same message was displayed on the dashboard "electric parking brake problem." i had the vehicle towed once again to the dealership. when they were inspecting it the car was functioning once again. no error message and the technician was able to start it without any problems. now my concern is obviously safety since the error message displayed on the dashboard shows it is a brake problem. i did some research and apparently i am not the only one that has experience this issue.

Stationary car completely shut down, would not start, battery check ok, could not take out of park, had to have it towed to shop and have tcm replaced and software updated- in motion -steering wheel slips and shakes as well - very disappointed in honda.

Car is only two years old and driver’s side air conditioner suddenly only blows hot air. have never had this happen to a car but apparently faulty compressors are an extremely common issue (so much so that there is a long wait just to get the part to fix it) with this vehicle that honda needs to own up to - clearly a widespread manufacturing flaw that needs to be addressed. honda owners are being cheated.

My car was parked and i tried to turn my car on and i stepped on my foot brake it felt real stiff than i attempted to push the start button but my car failed to start. several error codes popped up on my dashboard. (brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power stearing system (eps) problem vehicle stability assisst (vsa) peonlem, hill start assisst problem, electric parking brake problem, emissions problem.

Electronic braking system car on able to move from park . happened twice already . showing up on dashboard .

The collision mitigation braking system engages when there are no objects in front of the vehicle. the system has engaged erroneously numerous times, when driving on the highway and at high speeds (65-70 mph), and the brake engages attempting to bring my vehicle to a complete stop (hard brake). sometimes i have been able to get it to disengage, but i have had several "close calls" with drivers behind me nearly rear-ending me on the highway when my car unexpected braked (hard). one time, the brakes engaged on the highway with no one and nothing in front of me, and i had to pull over onto the shoulder quickly (to avoid the driver behind me rear-ending me) and got a flat tire as a result. i asked the dealership to fix the issue, but they said they could not get my vehicle to demonstrate/engage in the behavior i was describing, and therefore, said they could not fix it. i also reported it to honda warranty over the phone. they thanked me for reporting it and suggested i contact a dealership to get it fixed - the dealership did not fix it.

The vehicle was parked in a private lot directly outside my place of employment. i work in a remote location with little to no traffic except for employees entering/leaving the building. it was late in the evening, i auto-started the car cause it had been raining earlier in the day, went outside, entered the vehicle, shut the door, and immediately i heard glass falling. i looked in the back seat and saw the rear windshield had spontaneously shattered from edge to edge, all parts of the glass was broken into small shards. it scared me cause the glass was fine in the morning. i looked around and no objects were present to draw a conclusion that the window had been struck. called the police, but it wasn't an emergency so they did not come to take a report. the vehicle is a lease with warranty, so i opened a case to have the damage covered as a defect in the glass based on the complaints made from others who experienced similar losses. honda refused to honor the warranty. they wouldn't provide any written statement, i was only told on the phone that management doesn't believe there's any defects in the glass. i asked for the glass to be tested and this was refused by honda as well. i requested a transcript of the conversation and was told i would need to send them a subpoena. it is my opinion that unless an official agency such as the nhtsa intervenes on behalf of consumers, then honda has little to no concern for the safety of it's customers. for this reason, i am sharing my experience in the hope that honda will be made to take accountability for misleading and endangering the welfare of others.

Vehicle was involved in a front end/side collision. when told by collision shop the vehicle was finished and upon coming in to pick up the vehicle, obvious structural damage remained untouched, and unrepaired engine damage was obvious. collision shop and insurance company insisted vehicle repairs were complete and fought me to take the vehicle to the honda dealership for diagnostic. when the vehicle was finally taken, the check engine light was on and a dtc code was thron. additional issues with the integrity of the vehicle post collision were noted and both collision shop and insurance company refuse to acknowledge safety issues and repair the vehicle to safety standards. neither the collision shop nor the insurance company is familiar with the new 2016 civic body, diagnostics, crash zones, and honda position statements issued for the particular model. the vehicle was specifically purchased for a newly licensed driver, with safety being the top priority. the vehicle is no longer safe and it would be tragic to have another accident, where the other driver is at fault, with a much worse outcome because the integrity of this this vehicle is compromised due to inadequate repair. unfortunately i cannot load all the repair photos, but the hood is not fitted, the pillars are buckled, the foot rockers/ floor pan is loose.

Tire pressure monitor problem. after replacing (2) flat tires over a 3 month period with the same brand, model, size and style of tire as the oem, i now get a tire pressure monitor warning constantly illuminated, even after checking tire pressures and recalibrating the tpms. according to honda dealership this is a known issue with honda tpms systems since the system uses wheel speed not sensors to detect differences in tire pressures. as a result there is no known solution other than to replace multiple tires at once. what is supposed to be a safety feature / convenience is now a nuisance

Randomly i receive the following error message on my screen when starting my car, "brake system problem". the only way for me to remove the error is to start with my car in park, and move from r, n, d, s, l, and back up to park again. then i press the break hold on, then break hold off, parking break on, then parking break off, turn off the car, then turn the car back on and the error goes away. this has happened a number of times since i leased the car in 2016 and happened three times just in this month. always happens randomly. after taking the car to the dealership a number of times and letting them know of the issue they now run a full diagnostics that my warranty is out and think it has to do with a bad cell in the battery. so either there is a fault with the electrical break system or the batteries in the 2016 honda civics are bad. a quick google search will show that i am not the only person with this issue.

After driving for approximately 30 minutes, steering becomes erratic. wheel takes force to turn initially, causing over-correction when trying to drive straight. this problem is consistently reproducible. car is with dealer now to fix.

The steering started “sticking” in place at interstate speeds. when driving it feels like there's a catch in the steering wheel when you try to maintain a lane and you have to turn the wheel to the right and then left to stay in a lane. you have to forcefully overcome this sticking resistance which causes the car to veer toward the other lane and this process is continually repeated as you drive. it is a huge safety issue because it seems to want to push me into oncoming traffic on 2 lane roads. surprised there is no recall because i see many of the same complaints on nhtsb and in online honda forums, the common resolution seems to be replacement of factory defective eps hardware.

Trunk opens by itself, sometimes while driving on the highway, local street, others when parked.

When i pulled into my driveway last night after work, my car dash lit up with alerts, one after another. i tried turning the vehicle off and on, and the lights did not go away. they are still on today. they were emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, and hill start assist problem. i took a video of the alerts. i will try to upload a picture.

When driving on highway today around 60 mph it felt like the steering was sticking on me. when i would try to correct my steering left or right it would feel stuck for a second then it would go. seems very dangerous and needs to be a recall on this.

After driving for 30+ minutes, i notice my steering wheel sticking in place, when i need to slightly move or turn the wheel i have to apply force and it almost causes me to over correct and veer into another lane. if gets worse to longer i drive and with the weight of passengers in the vehicle. i have read the same issue from others and they have said this is possibly a power steering issue.

The rear brakes are showing grooved rotors. also the back brakes are wearing quicker that the fronts . 7mmf . 5mmr. the mileage is 32000. i have a second car exactly the same except color. it has 16000 miles and the same problem is starting on it also. i believe honda is covering this up. they wouldn't investigate because i didn't have an ro number. i brought it back in to be checked and they wouldn't put "check rear brakes" on the ro. they said they always check the rear brakes and if there is no noise there is no problem. i was a licensed inspector years ago. i would never have passed a car with these rotors. see pics. perhaps it is from the parking brake recall? the rotors must have lost their temper from the brakes being applied by the parking brake problem.

Steering is sticky and hard to maintain lane at freeway speeds

Motor oil in the engine is being diluted by gasoline. a strong gasoline smell is present when examining the dip stick.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel failed and the contact had to use force to steer the vehicle. the vehicle was driven to the contact's home. the contact scheduled an appointment with pensacola honda (6675 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 47,510.

I'm glad i found this thread i have a 2016 honda civic ex-t. after i've been driving 10 or 15 minutes, mostly on a highway, suddenly the car begins to veer slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts normal. moments later however, it veers the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, while fighting with a steering wheel. i feel it is a major safety issue, because going down a 3-lane interstate, and i’m in the middle lane with 2 semi trucks on either side of me, the car starts veering, i go to correct and the steering "sticks", causing me to over correct, there’s probably going to be an accident. i’ve been reading a honda civic forum, there are several people with the same problem and company knows about the problem. they replace the power steering assembly (part number: 53650-tbc-a21 or 53650-tba-a22).

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while the vehicle was parked and turned off, the vehicle rolled backwards down an incline into a parking lot, and crashed into another vehicle. the contact checked the vehicle and noticed that the gear shifter was in the drive position. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed to a local dealer (germain honda of ann arbor, 2601 s state st, ann arbor, mi 48104) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was working as intended. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 30,473.

Issues: under splash / guard falling down - yonkers honda service parts state it is physical damage for the under splash guard to fall down and not possibly the screws getting loose. yonker service parts said it was normal wear and tear and that i must of went over something that pulled down the under guard. i now have 11,900 miles and car under 2 years old. initially i had to go to a local dealer to not replace but to put screws in, so i could go to my honda service to inspect why this happened on a new car. i was only charged $71 to put screws in. all parts were still intact after splash dropped and i had to drive to get my service to a place closer home because dragging my under guards would mean greater damage. by the time i made it to honda service, the splash dropped again and honda stated i needed to replace the underguards that were still in tact but a little bent from dragging. they said it was external physical damage and not a defect and then quoted me $400 and put ties up so i can drive the car. i looked up the parts at a honda parts service dealer and the parts i am quoted are way more than what i noticed for the market. four months into having my car, all 4 car windows come halfway down after exiting the car and pressing down the lock with remote. no information on why this is happening in the honda manual. honda sevice auto parts advisor stated this is normal and there was nothing to do. photos show initial fall of under splash in january

Paint peeling at bottom of left front bumper. car is garaged. problem noticed 2/7/18. i can slide my nail under the paint & continue to pee it. car to be seen at honda dealer 3/12/18 & photo of area of peel to be photographed & sent to appropriate honda department for review. this is definitely a manufacturing deficit!

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving approximately 35 mph, the brake system and tire pressure warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to mistlin honda (4754 mchenry ave, modesto, ca 95356, (209) 549-5000) where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and opened case number: 05813896. the approximate failure mileage was 57,160.

A rodent crawled up into the engine compartment and chewed up the wires to coil connector. it made all of the dashboard warning lights to come on and the engine was shaking due to the mis-firing coil. it is honda fault because they covered/made the wires with soy, which attracts rodents. my 2016 civic is less than 2 years old with 9,500 miles, honda claims it is not covered under the warranty. honda then, wanted to sell me a $500 engine wiring harness, this is ridicules, because it doesn't resolve the problem, the rodents will be attracted to the new wire harness too. they also wanted to sell me spicy rodent tape for $48, this is a scam, honda needs to fix this problem, they will be losing loyal customers. if this happened on the freeway, it could have resulted in a fatal accident.

The sensor of the gas tank (i mean capkess sensor) fail to stop when finish to fill it up with gasoline, producing the gas to coming out and there's 100% of 🔥 fire at the gas station causing a dangerous situation for many people in the gas station. this risk never happen with my cr-v 2009 and nissan sentra 2009.

Steering wheel sticks while driving, causing over compensation, has caused me to run off the road; driving straight, 60mph, interstate car fails to start after driving more than an hour and a half at highway speeds, beencto dealer for both of these issues and have had no resolution.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 55 mph, the sun roof exploded without impact. there were no injuries. the dealer (holler honda, 2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807, (877) 872-9906) was contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 25,000.

Backup camera will randomly go black during operation if shifted into reverse during headunit boot (immediately after vehicle cold start) and headunit resumes boot showing honda logo and driver warning screen instead of backup camera. has happened on multiple occasions. honda dealer was initially notified on 4/27/2018 but no resolution has been provided as of 11/30/2018. images uploaded document five (5) occurrences between 8/29/2018 and 10/10/2018, but has happened prior to and since. note in images that shift lever is in reverse but no backup camera view is shown on the display.

Sunroof exploded. we were driving along on the highway at night in late november and heard a loud thud above us. the sunroof shade was closed thankfully because when i opened it to check, we realized that the glass had shattered.

With only 18,461 miles on my tires, and still 6/32 as of very recent honda service visit my rear drivers tire blew out while driving on the freeway going 72mph. i very loud pop, no tire indicator displayed and the tire had discenegrated. very scary! this should not have happened, even according to my last tire inspection.

Issue with the 1.5 turbo called oil dilution. china had a recall on the turbo due to the fuel dilution problem (fuel getting into oil). back in september on the way to ohio from indiana civic broke down and stalled while driving down interstate 70, during a rain storm. not a safe situation at all. civic was towed to a honda dealer in dayton. was told oil was overfull and their solution was to drain and fill with proper amount. was told by the dealer they had seen that before. it is coming together for me now when i saw a consumer report youtube discussing this engine issue and this youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j80bfjs-16u. 1.5 turbo is building up fluid in the crankcase like on the 1.5 turbos in the civic. had the oil changed again right at two months later, here in indiana, with likely less than 2000 more miles and there is again buildup of fluid in the crankcase. the oil was overfull as confirmed by the techs at the local indiana honda dealer. this is a safety issue .

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving highway speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated. occasionally, while operating the vehicle, multiple warning indicators illuminated, indicating failures with the braking system, steering, and stability control. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally. the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer (apple honda 1, 801 whiteford rd, york, pa) were notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 45,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while operating the vehicle, the gear shifter would not immediately switch into reverse. once in the reverse position, the vehicle would not drive in reverse. the vehicle would also roll while the shifter was in the park position if the emergency brake was not engaged. on several occasions, while driving various speeds, the vehicle would randomly shut off. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (brandon honda, 9209 e. adamo dr, tampa fl). the dealer updated the transmission software and replaced the transmission module, but the failures recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 6,000.

The vehicle cruise control picks up speed when going down hill. the honda dealership stated that the vehicle is a base model and does not have adaptive cruise control, therefore, according to them, is working as designed. the "design" has a serious safety flaw as the driver must constantly be aware of the terrain and speed of the vehicle which seems to negate the use of a cruise control. i experienced several frightening situations while on a road trip from yellowstone national park to seattle this summer. the car was gaining as much as 20-30 mph on steep, mountainous terrain resulting in dangerous speeds. i discontinued use thinking that this "feature" was malfunctioning. i can not believe the dealer's response that the cruise control was working as designed is in the interest of public safety or the truth. i was left with no other recourse but to file this report.

Steering wheel sticks when trying to make small adjustments. must apply added pressure to get past the stick. happens intermittently, especially when driven for longer times and when the weather is hot. taken to dealer several times but told they cannot duplicate problem.

Air conditioning system went out. blows warm air and makes hissing noises. it takes a very long time to defog the windshield reducing visibility while driving and making it uncomfortable to drive. the vehicle was in motion when the problem was first noticed. it takes over 10 minutes to defog the vehicle.

Fuel is leaking into the oil. the dealer just suggested changing the oil more often. i know this is a defect but what can i do? the electrical system is not reliable....one day my passenger window would not work from my control on the driver's side. finally it did--this was when parked. they replaced once and then "updated" the infotainment system once because of very disruptive things that happen on the screen while driving. once (this was parked) it totally locked up my iphone so that i could not use it even after i shut the car off (i was parked and had turned the car on ) and rebooted my phone! once i got locked out of my car after opening the trunk and closing it...my fob would not work and when i used the key, it set off the alarm, flashed the lights and reset all my personal settings. sometimes the steering wheel radio controls lock up and don't work. many times the radio screen goes black when i am driving and not touching it. one time it started beeping and would not stop....very dangerous as i try to drive with the beeping. and, my windshield wipers are very sporadic....does not matter if i try resetting them to auto....when it is not raining they go crazy, when it is raining they stop....sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. i have to spend too much time trying to get the car systems to work while driving that this is as dangerous as can be. the electrical system of this car is a lemon...and has been from the start. i have at most about 9,000 miles on this car but started noticing glitches long before 6,000. this is the top of the line car in this model.

When brakes are applied, then released, it sometimes take up to two or three seconds to be able to accelerate afterward, even though i am stepping on the accelerator pedal. this is unnerving when entering an intersection (yielding) and you feel you have plenty of time to proceed, until the car fails to accelerate. honda states it is a safety feature in the event something were to accidentally depress the accelerator while braking. i feel otherwise.

Manual transmission civic lx base model. while i was sitting in driver seat with the car running and the ac on. car shift was in neutral and car was idling normally with engine sounding normal. the car had been driven that morning and it was the third time i had turned the engine on and off for the day.. car was idling normally for at least 5 minutes. the car unexpectedly slipped from neutral into first gear without me touching the gear shift nor engaging the clutch. since i was sitting behind the wheel when the car lurched forward and sitting on a level parking lot and the emergency brake was not engaged.....i instinctively put my foot on the brake and the forward motion stopped. car acted like i had popped the clutch while it was in first gear. i assumed it had stalled out so i turned the key to re-start the car. but the car engine was still running and idling normally. this incident only occurred once on the date of 8-10-18 with 24,000 miles on the odometer. .no one except me witnessed what happening. i have not yet inquired about it with the dealer. car is 2 years, 2 months old and i purchased it new from a honda dealer in south florida. incident occurred in south florida. no damage occurred to the vehicle and i've driven it for 50 miles since and started and stopped the engine 3xs since with nothing unusual happening. i did notice the shift stick was uncharacteristically more difficult to put into first gear for 2 or 3 times immediately after the incident. but the ease of shifting into first gear has returned to normal. car was stationary in a parking lot when it occurred. unknown failure in transmission and i find it really odd considering this car has manual transmission.

The steering wheel sticks when trying to drive in a straight line. this sticking or notching can be felt when the car is idling and in park. this problem is continuous.

I had an engine light on on 8/5/2918 call dealer ship to set an appointment on 8/6/2018. advice found ftc p2422 evap cvs stuck closed indicating ftp sensor and canister malfunction, canister to malfunctioning due to the geographical are where vehicle is driven and park. dust and dirt will collect and clog the system. . this happens on sep/2017 . 1st time was cover by manufacture not this time i got extended warranty for 6 years they said no, cause was same problem within a year and was not a manafucture defect. i called america honda they agree to pay one more time only out of warranty. but this is going be at no ending problem for me, i have a cap less on gas tank which is not sealing right and main problem causing all dust and dirt getting in. they said the dust wasn’t getting they gas tank, but they’re not able to tell me howdust and dirt getting into the canister. i want this to get ivastigated because this is a manufacture defect, i never got a disclaimer saying if i drive car on dust or dirt will be causing this problem, year after year, the cost of $700.00 plus $100.00 for diagnosing, worst experience ever. please help me.

An error message keeps coming up on my center console, warning of an "electric braking problem." the red brake light to the bottom right also flashes. this always has happened when i turn the vehicle on. while this message is displayed, i am unable to move the car forward or in reverse. i have engaged the parking brake, and the message disappears. this has happened three or four times over a period of months since i bought the car. i purchased it in september 2016 as a new vehicle from a dealership in alexandria, louisiana. it was not included in a recall announced the month after, but i believe that recall should be expanded.

I got into the trunk of my civic (keyless) and when i tried to open the car, everything had shut down and it is locked and won't respond to the emergency key or the fob. this began 2 days ago and i see several other complaints o the internet of the same problem. it was parked in my driveway. not being able to get into my car here in the arizona desert could be a serioue problem.

Takata recall while in motion on a public street/ highway while attempting to compress the gas pedal the vehicle fails to accelerate increasing speed!! also, at time vehicle will say emergency break is malfunctioning and the tire pressure light also alerts. it's a safety issue because this car is going full speed and looses power. having to pull aside and restart the vehicle once or multiple times to bring it back to safe driving conditions.

The glass on the 2016 honda civic seems to be quite weak. the slightest impact on the windshield results in a total loss and replacement.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 30 mph, the steering wheel warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle shook. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (roseburg honda, 1950 nw mulholland dr, roseburg, or 97470, (541)-672-6227), but a failure was not found. the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the cv axle fractured. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 30,000.

The ac compressor and condenser are both leaking. one dealership tried to tell me they were leaking because a rock hit it and caused the damage, and it costs $600 to fix. but upon proper diagnosis from another dealership, they did tell me both the compressor and condenser are leaking, and it was not caused by road hazard damage. these products have known issues that people have listed online. my car is out of warranty, so the dealership had to file a claim through good will. they said they were willing to pay 50/50, which leaves me to pay $842 before taxes to get this issue fixed. there needs to be a better solution. this is unsafe that all of these cars having leaking condensers and compressors and it is a scam to have the customer pay anything to fix an issue like this. this is extremely unsafe because when it is hot weather or raining and then it gets cold the windshield fogs up and doesn't allow you to see without having the air on. the ac helps to eliminate any visibility issues when the weather changes. currently my windshield keeps fogging up due to not having the ac, especially when another car is coming towards me with their headlights, my windshield blinds me. this is extremely unsafe and will cause an accident. if someone can please help me by looking into this issue and possible posting a safety recall on these products, i would truly appreciate it. i already spoke to corporate honda and they don't seem to care and they say that they don't put out their own recalls. but this is a serious issue that is not okay, and i should not have to pay anything to have a faulty system fixed, when i bought the car this way. i noticed this issue after the car was already out of warranty, it didn't happen on one specific day, it is an ongoing issue.

Car was bought new. steering has started sticking. when i am driving on interstate it feels like there's a catch in the steering wheel when you try to maintain lane and have to turn the wheel slightly to the right. you have to push through the "catch" feel which causes the car to jerk. it hasn't gotten to where it is continuously happening. on more curving roads the steering seems to catch, and stick, which causes me to have to do the same thing and get the wheel through the "catch" in order to stay on the road which causes the car to jerk every time. i bought this car because of the smooth steering and for this to be happening at the extent it is now which is causing a huge safety issue is very disturbing. after reviewing other similar complaints online i am not sure why there has not been a safety recall issued for this.

I received a letter stating that my car had a recall for the emergency brake system. i took it to the dealership to have it fixed however the recall is still open on my vehicle.

Ac on the driver side warm air passenger side cold air then nothing. this started while driving on the highway august 3rd 2018 and stopped working august 6th 2018

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda civic. while driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle was involved in a front impact collision. the air bags did not deploy. the contact suffered minor pain, but no medical attention was required. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to an auto body shop. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 20,000.

I noticed that the steering wheel would start being sticky at highway speeds. . the power steering worked fine but for subtle movements, it would cause resistance. this was most frequent when driving over an hour at highway speeds.intermittently will notice that the wheel tends to stick after it's been straight for a couple seconds and i need to apply more force to make a small adjustment on the highway. i do not have the lkas. it seems to be an issue with the electronic power steering.

The car has computer system has failed and honda has tried a number of times to fix the problem over a two year span but has not been able to

After the vehicle has been driven for 5+ minutes, the steering has a catch in it. even going around turns, the steering wheel will stick in the position (i can take my hands off the wheel and it stays in the same turning position it’s in) making me use small force to pull the steering wheel back to the straight position when it should turn back naturally. it does the same thing on straight roads like an interstate. it makes keeping lane control difficult when the vehicle may vear to a certain side. causing the car to be “jerky”

The front wheels are going to fall off..throwing codes for stability malfunction assist, electric parking brake, electric power steering..i have been treated awful by 3 honda dealership and i refuse to pay for this vehicle that i'm going to die in..brush guard fell down being held with bailing twine

This is my second time. parked car in garage ,after few hours tried to turn on.when we try to start it wonts, but the sign pops up saying electrical parking brake error..car had to be towed twice.lucky car was in garage when both incident happened.took it to dealer twice .today we picked it up found dftc u3ooo-49,ecu internal circuit failure.they performed software update.they said it is ok this time.can happen again.how can this problem be dealt? my daughter drives this car and she is moving to college in august and will need a car.hope this problem is dealt quickly.if not will need to replace another car.i feel this is not safe for her to use.

I was driving at approximately 65 mph on the highway. i heard a large bang sound looked in my review and saw a dark flat object passing. this object was a center portion of the sunroof glass. i did not hit any bumps or have anything fall or strike the vehicle. weather was 55°f and sunny. very few glass pieces fell onto the interior visor and the glass still intact appears to be pushed up slightly indicating that nothing struck the glass to push debris down.

Trunk and windows open on their own. the vehicle is stationary, engine off, parked. brake hold comes on automatically while driving at low speeds in city. remote lock/unlock on key has intermittently not worked. while driving at high speeds on highway, doors kept locking and unlocking on their own. very fearful about the electronics system. this has happened over the course of the past several months.

Steering wheel sticks while driving. when i adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path or taking a curve, the wheel sticks causing me to use more force than usual to turn the wheel. by using more force to break the 'wheel stick', the car tends to over compensate. you are forced to always have both hands on the wheel and it makes this car a very unenjoyable and unsafe experience to drive.

I was driving to work around 8:20 am on 8 jan 2018 when my sunroof exploded in my 2016 honda civic. the outside temperature was 43 degrees (the temperature was not below freezing the night before). i was traveling approximately 60 mph and there was no traffic immediately around me. i did not hear anything hit the car and there was no warning that the sunroof was about to explode (i.e., vibration, cracking sounds). the glass, for the most part, blew out of the car, but there was some that fell into the car on top of me. the sound was similar to a gunshot -- quite startling. i was able to safely pull over and called the honda dealership.

Fuel leaks out of the cap less system when filling gas. amount of fuel varies. called honda and got no help. there is an existing document on nhtsa website, but no updates from honda. the issue has been happening since the car was purchased in july 2016. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/mc-10086567-2280.pdf several users are reporting the same issue in forums: https://www.civicx.com/threads/fuel-overfill-honda-is-aware-and-working-on-it.7079/ https://www.civicx.com/threads/anybody-having-problems-with-cap-less-gas-tank.5331/page-3

My vehicle break some time docent work....lighting is not proper and engine does nice even i do servicing and mention them but it got ignored by service center

Crack in windshield 5 months after purchasing the car from dealer. was told it was not covered under manufacture or extended warranty. replaced, and one year later, replacement glass has crack. replaced and two months later, glass cracks after hit with debris from freeway. is this a design flaw in the design of the car? does this fall into the "lemon law?"

Takata recall

Soybean wiring attracting animals. i have had the car for 1 year and it has happend twice with over 6,000 worth or damage. locked brakes, steering, electrical . a child rides in the car, this is a known issue that was never explained to me. pulled over to park. after trying to restart my vehicle it would not start even with a jump all systems, brakes steering locked.

Airbag advisory light is intermittent with or without a passenger sitting on the passenger seat while the car is moving or while the car is on running at idle. the happens everyday.

There is a dent on my car's rear upper quarter panel (c-pillar crease) on the driver's side. this dent is present on all 2016 and 2017 civic sedan cars' either on driver's side or passenger's side. honda dealer didn't accept this as a manufacturing defect and they refused to fix it. additionally, there is no official explanation from honda about the issue. i suspect that it's a safety issue. this dent problem exists globally, it's not a region specific problem as i have seen.

2016 honda civic leased in october of 2016. i had several error messages come on screen for multiple issues so i brought the car to the honda dealership. was told an animal chewed through several wires and caused the power steering to go out. apparently this is a known issue as the dealership told me that this has happened multiple times to cars brought in. this is not covered under warrenty although it seems to be a manufacturing issue. so not only did i lose power steering while driving which is a severe safety concern especially while driving my 6 month old child in the vehicle, but its my responsibility to foot the $240 bill to repair the damage. also there is no clear solution to prevent animals from again chewing the wires and putting my family and i at risk again. that is unless i take the advice from the dealership which is to “stuff my hood compartment with fabric softner dryer sheets because animals do not like the smell” which again brings up safety concernswith a potential fire hazard.

My car windshield was wavy and manufacturer defected, so i got warranty replacement, but even the replacemet has the same problem and even mor spots is wavy, and dealer keep telling this is normal due to "many windshield is the same as yours".

"takata recall" i bought vehicle in late sep 2016. dealer said recall was done. had minor accident nov. 2017, air bags did not deploy?? officer at scene thought that to be unusual.

My 2016 honda civic coupe touring was parked in my attached garage at night with all windows and sunroof shut. in the morning when i went to the garage, both windows and the sunroof (which i never use) were wide open. in reading multiple car forums, this is not uncommon, however honda refuses to admit there is an issue. i believe it has something to do with a fob function that is programmed to intentionally perform the windows/sunroof open function with the fob. however, this function has no means of deactivation!! this causes a risk to all contents of the car. deactivation should be able to be made by car owner.

Brought 2016 honda civic to dealership with a/c not properly working (blowing warm air), was told prior to drop off that it was likely a stone that hit the condenser causing a leak. diagnostic test cost $135 + tax, was told that it was a stone that punctured the condenser, was assimilated to "just as if a stone had hit the windshield and cracked it, it would not be covered." windshields are designed to deflect debris. this is not covered under warranty, and appears to be a common (previous class action lawsuit was settled on earlier honda vehicles with this exact problem: "a rock puncturing the condenser" due to design flaw). this is absurd to not take care of the issue and charge consumers $900+ for a problem that could easily happen again if a "small rock or pebble" is able to puncture a part. 17,800 miles on the vehicle, 18 months old. if a small pebble can ruin a customer's air conditioning system on a brand new vehicle, which per warranty guidelines is neither an "accident" or "abuse" to the vehicle, is this vehicle even suited to be on the road? very disappointing as i was a life long honda owner.

Car is only one yr old, not even 33,000 miles air conditioner blowing hot air, many of my friends have same problem. honda won't honor warranty. wants to charge over $500.00 to start.

The sunroof in my 2016 civic exploded this morning. there was no vehicles around me or overpasses. it sounded like a gun shot and then i heard glass shattering. thankfully i had the cover closed.

Steering wheel sticks while driving. when i adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path or taking a curve, the wheel sticks causing me to use more force than usual to turn the wheel. by using more force to break the 'wheel stick', the car tends to over compensate. you are forced to always have both hands on the wheel and it makes this car a very unenjoyable and unsafe experience to drive. brought the car to a dealership, they told me they could not recreate it. will bring the car to a different dealership, if they cannot resolve the issue, will trade car in immediately (car has less than 10k miles on it). i will not continue to have my family drive in this car if problem cannot be resolved.

Capless gas tank always backflows and spills gas onto the car if i wait for the gas pump to auto shut off. this never happened with any of the older cars i have owned. to avoid this from happening now i manually stop the gas pump before the tank is full.

Adaptive cruise control does not break car when car ahead slows. system throws 'collision braking mitigation system', 'lane keeping assist', and 'adaptive cruise control' warnings. dealer has attempted to repair without success.

Just driving down a city street at 45 mph and heard a big pop. pulled over to discover my sunroof glass had actually exploded outward. i believe this to be faulty tempered glass and wanted to report this issue. thx

Milo gordon honda misrepresented the repair of a safety recall and sold a 2016 honda civic as a new vehicle without completing the repair. on dec 31 2016, i purchased a new 2016 honda civic from milo gordon honda in lawton, ok. today, sep 1, 2017, my electronic brake system malfunctioned in a stationary position on a cross-country trip. after the malfunction, i took the vehicle to orr honda of paris tx where i discovered the recall of 2016 honda civics. orr honda conducted a vin inquiry that showed the software update was completed on oct 12, 2016, prior to my purchase of the vehicle; however, the service department tested my physical vehicle and the required update to the brake system was never made. it appears milo gordon honda updated the vin database without ever repairing the actual car, then proceeded to sell it as a new vehicle. after this discovery, orr honda upgraded the electronic brake system in accordance with the recall issued in 2016. (photos attached)

Rear brake light hangs down rear window, covering almost 50% visibility. worsened visibility at night due to the whole rear window being lit up red when brake is applied. have taken to dealer, they claim they know nothing about the issue, refuse to offer any type of remedy for the issue.

Daily maybe a few times a day when i attempt to accelerate from a stop the car hesitates for 1-3 seconds before the throttle responds. this is possibly dangerous because if pulling away when there is a limited opening to make it through the intersection it could cause accidents. i'm wondering if it has to do with the cvt transmission as my 2015 honda civic with cvt also had this issue from time to time. this issue happens daily and usually in the morning on a left turn about 3/4 mile from my home. usually at the same corner daily in the morning but it does happen at other times throughout the day and i think it may be more common not long after starting to drive after having been sitting for a bit. i love honda's and have had many of them but this issue needs to be taken seriously and resolved!

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic equipped with firestone tires st140 (na) tires, size: 215/50/r17 (na). while driving 30 mph, the front passenger side tire experienced a blowout, which caused the contact to lose control of the vehicle. the contact stated that the passenger side mirror struck a tree and fractured. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. the tire was not replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate vehicle and tire failure mileage was 7,343.

High brakelight cover will not remain attached to rear window and hangs down. the velcro attaching strips pull away from the glass in hot weather. the result is that rearward vision is reduced, and at night, applying the brakes will light up the entire rear glass obstructing outward vision whether vehicle is moving or not. passengers in the rear seat will have the plastic cover hit their heads.

We bought this care brand new for my daughter from a honda dealer. two weeks later while my daughter was driving back home from school at an intersection in our neighborhood , engine went from 15mph to 6mph to zero. engine completely failed. later i found out that this model has been recalled for a problem with a piston ring . honda service is telling us the a new engine will be installed on the car, dont know what to do , none of us in our family feels safe about driving this car , because if she was on the highway going 55mph and this happened, it would be a disastrous situation and we are so thankful that this did not happen. honda roadside assistant came an towed the car to service department . this car has 320 miles on it.

The rear third brake light has come undone, it bounces around and obstructs the rear view. it's hard to explain how such a small part could block the view unless you encounter this for yourself. this is especially bad on the highway at a slight down grade where it can obstruct the entire highway behind you. once again, hard to explain unless you live in a hilly area and experience this. during the night the rear window is flooded with red light. this is a safety hazard. there is an entire website related to just this issue. 7/26/2016 - just got back from the dealer where they "fixed it with another part" - this didn't make it out of the parking lot of the dealer before it was bouncing around again - american honda should issue a recall to fix this correctly with a newly designed part.

Third brake cover off, and they told me that now can not be permanently repaired, when you depress the brake entire glass is red . wipers can not clean the windscreen .

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 20 mph, the rear interior brake light cover detached and obstructed the contact's view. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer multiple times where it was diagnosed that the cover needed to be re-attached. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

Certain honda civic's have apple's carplay installed, through the ios iphone mobile phone platform. when enabled, or plugged into the car, navigation support provided by apple's maps application goes into 'day mode' while at night. this creates a huge amount of brightness in the car and blinds the driver with brightness. there is no fix for this problem and i can easily see how accidents can be triggered due to blinding interior light due to the apple maps (through carplay) not working properly. this is clearly an error, or poor design by apple/honda. i believe that carplay's navigation function is a danger to the american public because having huge amounts of sudden brightness causes distraction and major problems with vision.

My husband was driving down the interstate when a small pebble hit the bottom drivers portion of the windshield, thus putting a small ding in the glass, however within 4 hours i had a crack 28 inches long, i have owned many vehicles in my life n have had things hit my windshield and it never caused a crack. after reviewing the consumers affair web site i noticed there were so many people like me, and easily cracked windshield on there 2016 civic before they have even made there first car payment, and the fact that there on national back order so whether it obstructs your view or not you can't even get a replacement yet, i don't know if they have cut corners in the manufacturing of there glass or not but i believe that they should be able to sustain more then a little pebble before they crack like this, and i hope you guys investigate this before someone really gets injured because the crack causes a type of magnifying effect when u try to see thru it while driving n it definitely obstructs your view

New honda civic windshield suddenly cracked and continues spreading. no replacements available in america.

I have a brand new 2016 civic 1.5t ex-l with 1,000 miles and a cracked engine block. we noticed the engine oil all over our garage. it's been leaking for a while, probably since we got it, but we didn't realize until today that the oil was coming from our brand new car. after our own investigation, we ruled out all of our other cars and took it into dealership today.

I bought a 2016 honda civic lx sedan the seats do not hold my body in place while driving left knee hits driver door when turning right right knee hits console when turning left short bottom seat, thighs are unsupported back of seat hard/painful arms and legs go numb within first 10 minutes of driving

Bought the car in mid february and it began to read "brake system problem" once the car was turned on and stationary a few weeks after. i took it to the dealership in march and they "cleared" the codes and test drove it. in april, the same error appeared but now with more errors such as "tire pressure low, brake system problem, charging system problem and anti lock brake system problem." i took it to the dealership once again and they replaced the "abs modulator" and "cleared" the codes. once again a month later (june), the same errors are appearing.

Computer system had a major malfunction, triggering 6 different warnings, and an audible message to immediately pull over and park the vehicle and have a dealer inspect the vehicle. this happened after filling up the vehicle with gas. my family was in the vehicle with the car in accessory mode, listening to the radio. after finishing up fueling, about five minutes later, i returned to the vehicle. i got in, shut the door, put my foot on the brake, pressed the button to start the vehicle, put on my seat belt, and then saw the messages. after a few minutes with the car on and reading the messages, a voice started to talk and tell me, to stop the vehicle, park it, and have a dealer look at it. the 6 messages on the center display said various things. such as they were titled: adaptive cruise control problem the pressure monitor system cmbs problems anti-lock brake system problem tire pressure low brake system problem the alarming number of problems about the brake system alone, tells me this vehicle should not be driven. combine that with the audiable message about pulling over and parking the vehicle, no one in their right mind is going to drive it until it is properly looked at. the dealer did look at it, and said it was the vsa modulator, and needed to be replaced. however, there is case after case of this not fixing the problem found online. yet people and their families, including mine are being sent back onto the road in these vehicles of which honda has not and cannot provide a fix for because it, itself does not know what the problem is. any therefore no one knows if their car is crying wolf, and just waiting to kill them. i don't want my car if i can't trust it. i just can"t wager my families lives on that. they are willing to tell us to drive around in the vehicle even before the first repair is tried. the errors are related to brakes

Car doors will sometimes refuse to unlock / acknowledge remote control after the trunk is closed. the car's computer crashes. video of me experiencing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnbiwhk2tbg it's difficult to repro, but here are the steps: 1. open the trunk. 2. close the trunk 3. observe that both turn signals are solidly lit 4. observe that the car no longer responds to the remote. at this point, the only way to unlock the door is to take out the emergency key - which will then trigger the theft alarm. lots of other people who have experienced this: 1. http://www.civicx.com/threads/had-to-use-the-actual-key.1430/ 2. http://www.civicx.com/threads/car-possessed-sometimes-door-does-not-open-with-fob.3829/

Vehicle has been in the service shop 5 times for "brake system failure", "anti-lock brake system failure", "tire pressure monitor system failure", "tire pressure low", and "charging system failure" with no resolve by the dealership. these messages were all on the radio display prior to today to which the dealership said they are false flags. i am not sure how a "brake system failure" anywhere on a dash is a false flag. these messages generally occurred upon startup but many times while driving. last night, error messages appeared in the instrument cluster and the vehicle refused to start. the vehicle was stationary and would not start up at this time.

There are three problems i want to complain: 1) information screen flickers for 10 minutes after starting the engine. i sent it to dealer shop, but they said that they never heard of such a problem, and had no solution. the problem happened at least three times per week in the past two months. 2) information screen shows six different warning messages after starting the engine, including abs failure, vsa failure, low battery level, collision mitigation failure, adaptive cruise control failure etc. i took it to the dealer, the reason they told me is that they had one of my tires replaced one week before and tpms had not been reset correctly. however, why it took two weeks for the system to give the warning messages instead of right after tire got changed? 3) tpms failed to detect flat tire. i was driving a car with one flat tire for 1 mile, and the tpms even failed to detect the flat tire.

I purchased a honda civic lx on 5-1-16, my test drive was approximately 10 minutes long and i did not experience any pain. my drive home from the dealership was approximately 30 minutes long. by the time i arrived home my arms and legs were numb, i had pain in my sacral, lumbar, and cervical spine areas. i had just traded in my 2016 honda fit purchased o 3-3-16 at a $4,000.00 dollar loss due to sever back pain and extremity numbness while driving the salesman told me the reason the honda fit 2016 seats were so bad was do to the fact that they are made in mexico. i am 5'3" and i weigh 122 lb. i do yoga almost every day and consider myself physically fit. i have no history of back pain. the seat bottom is so low and short that i have nothing under my thighs for support and the angle of the seat floor is so sever that my knees are up by the steering wheel and my buttocks is way down close to the floor. my knees are constantly hitting the center console and driver door when turning or hitting bumps in the road. i have been a loyal honda car owner for many years and am shocked by this dangerous geometrical error in ergonomics that honda is marketing. my response time could be severely hindered do to the hazarous interior set up of this 2016 civic lx.

I purchased a new vehicle with 29 miles on it. i received the key, paired a phone with bluetooth, and put it in drive, then the dash lit up with flashing error signals for engine, tire pressure, brakes. it's still in the shop.

While driving on a main road at speed limit on cr 201 in florida (west of i-95 which is a secondary, main, paved road) my emergency brake engaged after i accidentally hit the button on the console. my vehicle immediately slowed at a high rate of speed and veered off the road to the right. oncoming traffic also veered away and following traffic had to use evasive measures to avoid collision. when i bought my new honda, i asked the sales rep if that was an issue and he (ray at coggin honda) said "absolutely not" and explained (paraphrased) that safety precautions are in place to eliminate any premature or accidental emergency engagement of the emergency brake while in gear and while driving.

I recently purchased a 2016 honda civic ex, four door. i was driving to work yesterday morning at 5 am. i had approached apx 56 mph and the vehicle stopped accelerating, across the dashboard screen was a blinking red stating, brake system failure. ! keep in mind, this vehicle is brand new i have less than 5,000 miles on it ! at the time of the screen on the dash blinking what seemed to have been an emergency brake deployed as i was decelerating causing me to come to a stop in the middle of the highway! lucky for me there was no one behind me, because it would have turned fatal. i pulled over on the side of the highway to try and relax. i turned the car off. turned it back on the brake system was still blinking saying failure. i turned it off again and back on and the light had stopped blinking. i attempted to drive and i did, just thinking it was a freak thing. on my way into boston, the dash lit up again with the same message. when i was safe in a parking lot i called honda and had my car towed, at this point i no longer felt safe driving my vehicle. the vehicle was towed to the closest honda dealership in boston. as of yet, they have not decided what is wrong with it. if i get updates i will update them. the last i heard is that the electronic brake system module had failed. how can this be , when the car is new ? how can i have faith driving my vehicle , that this won't happen when i am in traffic and cause a serious wreck? dealing with honda corporate has been an absolute nightmare! four hours worth of phone calls for them to secure me in a rental so i am safe driving. this is crazy! i am saddened. how can a brand new car have a failure with the brake system ?

I cranked up my brand new honda and a emissions system error displayed. i contacted the dealer and drove it to them. in retrospect that was probably a bad idea. my entire electrical system could have glitched and i could have been hurt. rodents ate my wiring harness this weekend. as per the service tech at my local honda dealership the wiring harness and surrounding pieces are made from a soybean derivative. they are attracted to it because essentially it's a protein pack on tires. this is my 7th honda (prelude si, civic si, accord ex, civic dx, honda atv, honda atv) and i've never had any critter eat anything honda related before. i still park in the same place. nothing has changed. my angst is that honda is unable to provide parts not mad from soybeans. if my new honda had been manufactured with something less environmentally friendly is is highly probable this loss would not have occurred. the thing that frustrates me the most is that honda's brand of rodent deterrent tape is not part of any dealer option package. therefore i wasn't offered a chance to buy the $30 roll of rodent tape from the honda parts department. now i'm looking at over $1000 in damage that could have been prevented by tape and honda cannot guarantee that the way they repair it will not prevent it from occurring again. i've only owned the call for 3 months. i'm extremely concerned it could happen again and that would be another $1000 repair. does honda truly believe that using these parts is okay? do they expect me to purchase an 8th honda after dealing with this mess? i'm very disappointed. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/2-investigates/protect-your-car-rodents-eating-wires-in-newer-vehicles/242817925 http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/rats-ate-my-car-wiring-car-owner-370616021.html

After a sudden stop, such as stopping for a yellow light about to turn red, the car jerks forward after reaching 0 mph. it seems to be a transmission issue reported by various users across civic community forums.

While driving the vehicle and using the cruze control in our touring model the systems would fail and the display multiple errors like stability control and collision mitigation have failed. to reset these we had to pull off the road stop the engine and restart. we have videos of the displays. it happened at any speed. the problems started shortly after we purchased the vehicle. we took it to the dealer 7 times and was only fixed after we threatened to proceed we the texas limon law.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 10 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle stalled. on another occasion, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

Car is equipped with a "brake hold" feature that can be activated to hold brakes on while the car is in drive without keeping your foot on the brake, and then press gas to start moving. for the last few days, i have been driving and when i come to a complete stop, i can hear the brake hold click on without it being turned on (there would be an indicator light on the dash), to test it i took my foot off the brake and the car did not move even though the brake hold was not activated. some of these times, the brake hold would come on, i would take my foot off the gas to see if it was doing it, and then 5-10 seconds later the brake would release and the vehicle would start to move without me doing anything, and without any indicator on the panel. the brake hold feature still works fine when i turn it on, all lights will come on and off when they are supposed to, but the car seems to hold the brakes without me activating the feature, and then they do not hold until i give the car gas, potentially releasing the car to move before i am ready for it to if i am expecting the brakes to be held. this only happens when the vehicle is stationary and comes to a complete stop, but the unexpected release will cause the vehicle to start moving suddenly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. after refilling the windshield wiper fluid reservoir, fluid was discovered leaking from the vehicle. as a result, the reservoir was empty two days after being refilled. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

Every since the repair of the recall the engine pulls not even an hour after the pick up the car had to go back in the shop for belt repair. it makes noises as if something is loose . i've called several times to speak with patrick never to get a call back. the care is in motion. the smart connection doesn't work it stop recognizing any device

When refueling through the capless fuel system in california gas spills out when the pump automatically shuts off. i've refueled five times so far and each time it happens, no matter what orientation i have the pump or how far it's pushed in. there is a thread on a honda forum with other examples of this here: http://www.civicx.com/threads/fuel-overfill.1505/

2016 honda civic touring 250 miles drivers seat stitching coming undone in seat area

Possible electric problem. have my civic ex for a month. when i was driving alone on freeway, i cannot open moon-roof, lower the front passage side window or adjust the passage side rare mirror. all other stuff works fine. after stop at a gas station, i turn off the system completely and waiting for around 1 mins then turn the car on again. problem is still the same. so i went to open the passage side door and push the lower window button, it works. then i back to driver's seat everything works fine. have no idea what's wrong with it. no rain, no show, on that day.

I purchased the new car on 11/30/2015. since then, it has been driven 22 miles. i learned of recall on 2/9/16 on news. i was not contacted by dealer or honda about it. i contacted dealer on 2/11/16 who in turn contacted honda. being a new car with only 22 miles on it (3 trips--the first being the drive home from the dealership), i requested a replacement. i believe this is more than reasonable.. honda refused. i was advised tools to examine for the problem and repair parts were not available. since the car can not be fixed at this time, it is a safety liability, and honda was not willing to do the right thing, i filed a lemon law complaint with the ohio attorney general. they were of no help with honda now refusing to refund my money or replace the car. to date ( 2/25/16), i have received no recall paperwork from honda. they expect to send it out sometime in march. driving this vehicle presents potential dangerous safety- liability issues for me, my family, passengers and others should it stall, cause an accident or catch fire. i did not buy this new vehicle to drive under these conditions. but since honda announced the recall and stop sales order on 1/29/2016 until now, this is what i face and who knows how long it will continue. parts may be available this summer. what are we supposed to do? this is not the new car experience i expected, and i did not buy the car to be injured, to damage the engine, or be held responsible for an accident with my insurance picking up the tab. i am not the only 2016 civic owner in this situation. why so long to notify us of this dangerous recall to the engine no less? i see honda has indemnified itself. what about us and our safety? i want my vehicle replaced or a refund. i did not buy a new vehicle to repair it with only 22 miles on it. this is far from the typical safety recalls we usually see.

I leased a brand new 2016 honda civic on friday, february 26, 2016 and drove off the lot with 5 miles on the odometer. on monday, february 29, 2016, my car started to shake, the engine light came on as well as other indicators on the car, i was not able to accelerate or properly operate the vehicle. fortunately, i was able to pull over and called the dealer who towed the car to the service department. i am being told that it is a low compression problem in the cylinders and that it had to do with the rocker arm not that it is part of this piston problem. however, i do not know what to think at this point. they are keeping my car until wednesday. i have notified the manufacturer to see if my car was part of the stop sale order. i am concerned because this is a safety issue because i drive my grandchild on a daily basis and do not want to lose engine power and i will have this car for 3 more years.

I bought a honda civic ex 2016 2.0 l on 2/17. on 2/24, the car broke down midway (miles driven 88). when vehicle was in motion, all kinds of video warning messages like problem with transmission, braking system, steering etc. started appearing on the center display were the vehicle's speed gets displayed(part of the tachometer / speedometer display). i had towed the vehicle to the dealer. next day the dealer returned the vehicle saying the car was in perfect condition and no warning lights are on. from that day onwards, i started facing intermittent problem with vehicle failing to accelerate which i feel is very unsafe. on 2/26 (at speed of 62 mph) and again on 3/4 (at speed of 46), while driving on the highway, the vehicle all of a sudden started losing acceleration inspite of me pushing the accelerator. now i am really concerned about my safety. i took the vehicle to dealer on 3/4 and it is with the dealer for the past 6 days. today (3/10), the dealer told me that the vehicle is in perfect condition as they are unable to recreate the problem. i am not feeling safe to drive this vehicle any more. i am lucky that i did not get into any accidents. the dealer is refusing to replace my vehicle and have asked me to take back the unsafe vehicle or trade-in the vehicle as an used vehicle. since it is not safe to drive it, i am left with no other option but to bear the loss and trade in the vehicle. the vehicle is under 200 miles (most of the miles added due my trips to dealer and the miles driven by the dealer). i have a case registered with american honda. but they also turned me down. i cannot take in any more pain. there is a recall on this model vehicle (honda civic ex 2016 2.0 l) and was also issued a stop of sale. inspite of all these i was sold the vehicle putting my life at risk. just because my vin number is not in the list does not mean there is no problem.

Hi, i purchased 2016 civic in dec, 2015. i i have experience 3 issues till now 1. electronic brake - i have had 2 incidents where my electronic parking brake engaged automatically while driving, luckily was driving in city at lower speeds. but last week, was driving on interstate, stopped to fill gas - turned engine on, brake was engaged. would not respond to the brake switch. had to keep trying for a min or two before i was able to turn it off. 2. sudden resistance - have experience this quite frequently, need more acceleration to get the vehicle into motion mainly at traffic stops. 3. car radio - my model is equipped with all touch sensitive buttons. power button on radio mostly do not respond.

Letter from consumer to cliff collier, general manager of howdy honda, regarding issues with his daughter, honda civic purchased on january 29, 2016. *smd the consumer stated the vehicle belongs to his daughter. two days after purchasing the vehicle, the radio, and navigation system would start and stop on its own, and the only fix was turning the car off and back on again. *jb

I was sold a 2016 honda civic on the day (january 29, 2016) that american honda notified nhtsa of a ‘stop-sale’ and i am forced to drive a vehicle that may have a potentially life threatening defect until they fix it. honda was aware of the problem, and i should not have been sold a vehicle with a safety concern as great as engine failure.

Today i found out that honda issued a recall of approximately 45,000 model year 2016 civics in the u.s. and canada because the engine can stall while the car is in motion. this is due to a piston clip that was not installed or may have been improperly installed into the piston during assembly. i also found out that honda sent a stop sale notice to all dealers on february 2nd however; my 2016 civic car was sold to me on february 13th from a honda dealer located in phoenix, az. i did contact the dealer and am taking my car in tomorrow but i read that the part or inspecting instruments won't even be available until the end of march. not sure if the dealer will even be able to inspect my car tomorrow but i feel very unsafe driving a car that could potentially have a very serious issue. can't believe honda is putting lives at risk until the new part and inspecting instrument are available.

The 2016 civics with 2.0 liter motors have and been put on a "stop sale" are going to be recalled due to the possibility of engine failure, damage, and even possibility of engine compartment fires due to possibly having faulty piston snap rings. i bought one a week before this "stop sale" and i am apparently going to be forced to drive a vehicle that may have a potentially life threatening defect until they fix it which will not be until this summer according to honda customer service. i was given a claim number and i have requested a rental from honda so that i can stop driving the vehicle until they make sure it is safe. "engine failure" on any roads much less a busy highway is dangerous and an obvious major problem, and i am more concerned about what could happen to my toddler if my brand new honda civic dies on me or catches fire. will someone rear end me? will i be stuck in traffic? who knows. i just hope honda does something for their loyal customers who have already purchased this vehicle, considering it's serious enough that it can not be currently sold by dealerships until fixed. .

I was sold a brand new 2016 honda civic the day after a recall and stop of sale was issued. now 5 days later i am having issues with the car. i contacted america of honda and they confirmed my car does have a recall and i provided me with a case number. can someone please tell me who indeed to talk about this issue with?

I was sold a honda civic two days after the stop sale was issued by honda. it would seem the dealer is negligent and should be responsible. honda is going to open these new engines? it would seem the whole car should be recalled.

My mother in law's not even a week old civic had a complete electrical failure on i-210 eastbound just before the campus exit, probably doing the speed limit on the afternoon of 02/06/2016. aaa and the police responded. they could not restart it. it was subsequently towed to rock honda where the car was purchased. i am [xxx] [xxx] lakewood, co 80228 [xxx]. the owner of the civic: [xxx] [xxx] alta, loma ca 91701 [xxx].

Took delivery of 2016 honda civic 1 1/2 weeks ago. currently 350 miles. contacted american honda today in regards to piston snap ring recall. currently honda has no fix for vehicles affected. would like for honda to provide alternative transportation until engine can be repaired/replaced or buy the vehicle back since dealers have been forced to stop selling 2016 civics. i do not feel safe driving brand new car any longer. every time i start vehicle honda is putting my life and the lives of everyone else around me in jeopardy!

Piston clip ring recall from honda with no fix until mid-march as told by honda customer service. recall not publicly released by honda at this time. the result of this part failure is engine failure, and/or stalling. it is unsafe to drive this vehicle with such looming and unresolved issues.

Audio system is not properly initializing about 80% of the time you start the car. while much of this is simply inconvenient (no sound for the radio) it affects safety as there is no sound for the built in gps forcing you to look at the gps for navigational prompts versus audio prompts and the bluetooth system does not function so during incoming or outcoming calls instead of using bluetooth hands free you must pick up your phone while driving which is illegal in many states and switch from the car mode to the handset mode and then use one hand to hold the phone to talk, further distracting from safe driving. this appears to affect the touring model only, honda is aware of the issue. happens in all driving conditions but is random (about 80% of the time audio does not work). honda case #04338617 was opened. they said to just wait for a fix, have owned car for 30 days now (new purchase). dealer has no solution either.

When the adaptive cruise control (acc) and the vehicle lane keeping assist system (lkas) are engaged simultaneously, the vehicle will react unpredictably under certain conditions. the vehicle may brake suddenly, rapidly decelerate, and quickly depart the highway when approaching exit ramps. the situation occurs during daylight and nighttime hours with clean cameras and radar window. driver response time is too slow to counteract the event. the vehicle may slow by 10-15 mph and depart the highway before the driver is able to resume control. during 300 miles of highway driving, the vehicle did this twice. a rear end collision was narrowly avoided in one case.

The trunk and glove compartment do not lock...their is no way to safely valet park the vehicle and leave anything in the trunk or the glove compartment. this may not be a driving safety issue but it is a safety issue non the less. honda must have lost their minds when they redesigned the vehicle. it makes absolutely no sense not be able to lock the trunk.

When car is driven for about 20 minutes and it’s hot out the steering begins to drift to the left or right and gets stuck and needs to be recentered often causing an over correction and jerk to the other side. this is constant. does not occur as much at lower speeds but always at over 50 mph.

My vehicle, honda civic 2016, was parked in the parking lot. in the morning when i started the vehicle, it gave me errors in all systems: brake system error, power steering error, tire pressure error, etc. i could shift the gear, but steering wheel would not turn. i towed a car to a honda dealership and they told me an electric power steering pump needs to be replaced. the car is 3.5 years old, 36000 miles, the warranty ended only 6 month ago. honda provided an estimate of $1500 to fix the problem. in a few days when i was suppose to pick up the vehicle, honda called me saying that they weren't able to fix the problem and now they need to replace a power steering rack and power steering motor and it would cost $3000. the car is not drivable, it's a major safety concern and shouldn't happen after only 36000 miles.

Takata recall. i've had this car for 3 yrs. the problem with it is that, when i come to a stop while driving it doesn't wanna take off. it hesitates for about 30 sec. the problem is that its dangerous when i turn left it stays in the middle of the st and i can get hit. at one point i had to put it in emergency lights and turn it off and on. then it worked. its been doing it for about 4 months at least twice a day. it started in about april. at first it wasn't that often then it started everyday. it happens anywhere, st highway, fwy, city even when i wanna reverse. im not sure why its doing it i've taken it to the mechanic about 4 times. i do all oil changes everything , tire changes, rotations, the mechanic can't find anything. he even changed a sensor and it still does it.

Electronic steering box failure causing steering to stick and veer left and right while on the interstate.

The steering is sticking. when driving and attempting to make miniscule road adjustments, the steering sticks and to correct, the wheel makes a jerk which is very unsafe. this problem occurs all of the time, which includes any speed. this sticking of the wheel problem has been going on for a bit over a year. i took it to honda about 1 year ago and they claimed nothing was wrong. the problem persists and now i am hearing ticking noises when making normal road adjustments as well as turning. again, i am very frightened for my safety. as documentation from many 2016 honda civic owners is easily available through various online forums, i am suspecting this to be a major engineering defect that honda needs to be responsible for resolving. *tr

Over the last year my 2016 honda civic felt like it wanted to stall while driving on the freeway. i didn't know if something was wrong until it did it when my husband drove it. a few weeks ago i got an oil change and 2 days later i went grocery shopping and my car would not start it finally did and i made it home. later that afternoon i started my car and my cabin filled with the worse smell of gas and my granddaughter gagged. my dipstick for oil smelt i f gas too. i googled this and found out that there is an oil dilution problem with this model. i took my car to my local dealer and they checked it and said nothing is wrong basically because it did not throw a code and check engine light is not on. honda has not recalled thus but they know there is a problem and they are offering a update but only to owners back east in cokd weather states. well i know something is wrong and my dealer said i cant get update unless they see that code. i can't contact honda directly because they are unavailable i may live in southern california but i live in t he mountains and its cold and snowy here 6 to 8 months out of the year so i should be entitled to this upgrade also. but local dealer can't do anything so now i drive it and cause more harm to my engine i am aware there is a class action lawsuit on honda fir thus oil dilution issue and b they need to do a recall. i want my car fixed. *tr

Today i returned from honda of marin after having my starter replaced. the part # is 31200-5ba-a52. i would like to have this experience (part and service) to be reimbursed. this part should not have stopped work after a short period of time with the mileage of the vehicle at 63500.

Vehicle has repeatedly thrown errors with warnings to not drive the vehicle and have it inspected by the dealer. the vehicle has already been to the shop twice for the problem. in both cases honda installed an updated vsa modulator they claimed would fix the problem. it has not. not the local dealer doesn't even want to see the vehicle as they tell me their is nothing more they can do for us. they claimed to have emailed honda corporate to have a regional rep contact us. it has been 4 days since. they say the vehicle is safe, but yet they don't even know what is wrong with it. the vehicle has a defect they cannot correct, and my car is not alone. please look at these two sites to see examples: http://hondacivicproblems.com and http://www.civicx.com/threads/tpms-abs-brake-system-acc-freak-out.1002/ each time the vehicle is not in motion. each time the error messages appear after starting the vehicle. each time the warnings instruct you not to drive the vehicle. errors include: cmbs problem, adaptive cruise control problem, tire pressure monitor system, brake system problem, anti-lock brake system, tire pressure low, and charging system problem.
