2016 Honda Civic complaints

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.

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.

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 CA

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.

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.

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 H

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS HOT AIR.

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.

THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE COMPRESSOR.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WHEN DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING BEGINS TO STICK WHILE TRYING DRIVE STRAIGHT.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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 COMPRESSOR FAILURE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

AC COMPRESSOR LEAKING

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.

THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATES RANDOMLY WITHOUT MY MANUALLY ACTIVATING IT. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY BUT WHEN IT DOES ITS ANNOYING.

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
