2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
