2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

IT HAS A BREAK RECALL I DIDN'T RECEIVE A NOTICE OR ANY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP VANCOUVER, WA IN 2016. RECENTLY, THE CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED AND REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I WENT IN AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND FOUND SECURITY CODES RELATING TO HOOD SWITCH IN THE SECURITY HISTORY. THEY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE HOOD LATCH/SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND RECHECK. ANOTHER PERSON I SPOKE WITH, THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, CLAIMED THAT REPLACING THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I ASKED ABOUT MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY SINCE THIS ITEM ISN'T COVERED BY DEALERSHIP WARRANTY OF 3 YRS/36K MILES. THE DEFECT IS FROM A PART THAT IS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND FALLS UNDER MANUFACTURING ERROR AND NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY OR SOMETHING THAT FATIGUES OVER TIME. I WROTE HONDA REGARDING THIS. IN THE MEANTIME, I CANNOT USE MY SECURITY SYSTEM, THAT I PAID FOR ON THE VEHICLE, DUE TO IT POSSIBLY DRAINING MY NEW BATTERY. HONDA (REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER) STATED, OVER THE PHONE, THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT AND THAT IT FALLS UNDER THEIR WARRANTY OF PARTS. THIS ISSUE IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE THE SENSOR FOR THE CAR ALARM TRIPS ITSELF ELECTRONICALLY WHEN THE HOOD IS SHUT. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE AND/OR GREATER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR OTHERS. ADDITIONALLY, I DRIVE FOR RIDESHARE AND THIS PUTS RISK TO MY CLIENTS AS WELL. THE ALARM SOUNDS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED AND ALARM SET WHILE PARKED. IT OCCURS EVERY FEW HOURS AFTER ALARM IS SET. AFTER INSPECTING THE HOOD MYSELF, I COULD SEE NO DAMAGE TO THE HOOD LATCH AND WOULD NOT NEED A REPLACEMENT HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE IS ONE OF ELECTRONIC NATURE, INVOLVING THE CAR ALARM SENSOR ON HOOD LATCH, SECURITY SYSTEM, AND THE ELECTRONIC CAR MAINTENANCE MONITORING SYSTEM.

NOT SURE IF IT'S THE BATTERY OR THE BATTERY SENSOR BUT MY CAR WHEN I WANT TO TURN IT ON IT'LL NOT TURN ON AND IT WOULD JUST FLASH ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE BOARD AND WON'T FULLY TURN ON.

SUNROOF EXPLODED. WE WERE DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT IN LATE NOVEMBER AND HEARD A LOUD THUD ABOVE US. THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED THANKFULLY BECAUSE WHEN I OPENED IT TO CHECK, WE REALIZED THAT THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. MUST APPLY ADDED PRESSURE TO GET PAST THE STICK. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVEN FOR LONGER TIMES AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT. TAKEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT TOLD THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM.

ISSUE WITH THE 1.5 TURBO CALLED OIL DILUTION. CHINA HAD A RECALL ON THE TURBO DUE TO THE FUEL DILUTION PROBLEM (FUEL GETTING INTO OIL). BACK IN SEPTEMBER ON THE WAY TO OHIO FROM INDIANA CIVIC BROKE DOWN AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 70, DURING A RAIN STORM. NOT A SAFE SITUATION AT ALL. CIVIC WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER IN DAYTON. WAS TOLD OIL WAS OVERFULL AND THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO DRAIN AND FILL WITH PROPER AMOUNT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY HAD SEEN THAT BEFORE. IT IS COMING TOGETHER FOR ME NOW WHEN I SAW A CONSUMER REPORT YOUTUBE DISCUSSING THIS ENGINE ISSUE AND THIS YOUTUBE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=J80BFJS-16U. 1.5 TURBO IS BUILDING UP FLUID IN THE CRANKCASE LIKE ON THE 1.5 TURBOS IN THE CIVIC. HAD THE OIL CHANGED AGAIN RIGHT AT TWO MONTHS LATER, HERE IN INDIANA, WITH LIKELY LESS THAN 2000 MORE MILES AND THERE IS AGAIN BUILDUP OF FLUID IN THE CRANKCASE. THE OIL WAS OVERFULL AS CONFIRMED BY THE TECHS AT THE LOCAL INDIANA HONDA DEALER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE .

WITH ONLY 18,461 MILES ON MY TIRES, AND STILL 6/32 AS OF VERY RECENT HONDA SERVICE VISIT MY REAR DRIVERS TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 72MPH. I VERY LOUD POP, NO TIRE INDICATOR DISPLAYED AND THE TIRE HAD DISCENEGRATED. VERY SCARY! THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, EVEN ACCORDING TO MY LAST TIRE INSPECTION.
