2016 Honda Civic complaints

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

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

AC DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR

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?

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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. *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. 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.

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

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. *TR

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 BLOWING HOT ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND SOME COOL ON PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE HAS 39,000 MILES. *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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

AC DOES NOT WORK THEY SAY IT IS THE COMPRESSOR. THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND THE 2017. *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
