2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
