2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 .
