2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THERE IS A DENT ON MY CAR'S REAR UPPER QUARTER PANEL (C-PILLAR CREASE) ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS DENT IS PRESENT ON ALL 2016 AND 2017 CIVIC SEDAN CARS' EITHER ON DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE. HONDA DEALER DIDN'T ACCEPT THIS AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO OFFICIAL EXPLANATION FROM HONDA ABOUT THE ISSUE. I SUSPECT THAT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DENT PROBLEM EXISTS GLOBALLY, IT'S NOT A REGION SPECIFIC PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN.

2016 HONDA CIVIC LEASED IN OCTOBER OF 2016. I HAD SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES COME ON SCREEN FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES SO I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD AN ANIMAL CHEWED THROUGH SEVERAL WIRES AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CARS BROUGHT IN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. SO NOT ONLY DID I LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING MY 6 MONTH OLD CHILD IN THE VEHICLE, BUT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FOOT THE $240 BILL TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. ALSO THERE IS NO CLEAR SOLUTION TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM AGAIN CHEWING THE WIRES AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK AGAIN. THAT IS UNLESS I TAKE THE ADVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS TO 'STUFF MY HOOD COMPARTMENT WITH FABRIC SOFTNER DRYER SHEETS BECAUSE ANIMALS DO NOT LIKE THE SMELL' WHICH AGAIN BRINGS UP SAFETY CONCERNSWITH A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

MY CAR WINDSHIELD WAS WAVY AND MANUFACTURER DEFECTED, SO I GOT WARRANTY REPLACEMENT, BUT EVEN THE REPLACEMET HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN MOR SPOTS IS WAVY, AND DEALER KEEP TELLING THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO "MANY WINDSHIELD IS THE SAME AS YOURS".

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT VEHICLE IN LATE SEP 2016. DEALER SAID RECALL WAS DONE. HAD MINOR ACCIDENT NOV. 2017, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY?? OFFICER AT SCENE THOUGHT THAT TO BE UNUSUAL.

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC COUPE TOURING WAS PARKED IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE AT NIGHT WITH ALL WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SHUT. IN THE MORNING WHEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE, BOTH WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF (WHICH I NEVER USE) WERE WIDE OPEN. IN READING MULTIPLE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON, HOWEVER HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FOB FUNCTION THAT IS PROGRAMMED TO INTENTIONALLY PERFORM THE WINDOWS/SUNROOF OPEN FUNCTION WITH THE FOB. HOWEVER, THIS FUNCTION HAS NO MEANS OF DEACTIVATION!! THIS CAUSES A RISK TO ALL CONTENTS OF THE CAR. DEACTIVATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE MADE BY CAR OWNER.

BROUGHT 2016 HONDA CIVIC TO DEALERSHIP WITH A/C NOT PROPERLY WORKING (BLOWING WARM AIR), WAS TOLD PRIOR TO DROP OFF THAT IT WAS LIKELY A STONE THAT HIT THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. DIAGNOSTIC TEST COST $135 + TAX, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A STONE THAT PUNCTURED THE CONDENSER, WAS ASSIMILATED TO "JUST AS IF A STONE HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED IT, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED." WINDSHIELDS ARE DESIGNED TO DEFLECT DEBRIS. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON (PREVIOUS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS SETTLED ON EARLIER HONDA VEHICLES WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM: "A ROCK PUNCTURING THE CONDENSER" DUE TO DESIGN FLAW). THIS IS ABSURD TO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AND CHARGE CONSUMERS $900+ FOR A PROBLEM THAT COULD EASILY HAPPEN AGAIN IF A "SMALL ROCK OR PEBBLE" IS ABLE TO PUNCTURE A PART. 17,800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, 18 MONTHS OLD. IF A SMALL PEBBLE CAN RUIN A CUSTOMER'S AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, WHICH PER WARRANTY GUIDELINES IS NEITHER AN "ACCIDENT" OR "ABUSE" TO THE VEHICLE, IS THIS VEHICLE EVEN SUITED TO BE ON THE ROAD? VERY DISAPPOINTING AS I WAS A LIFE LONG HONDA OWNER.

CAR IS ONLY ONE YR OLD, NOT EVEN 33,000 MILES AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING HOT AIR, MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA WON'T HONOR WARRANTY. WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $500.00 TO START.

STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I ADJUST THE WHEEL TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT PATH OR TAKING A CURVE, THE WHEEL STICKS CAUSING ME TO USE MORE FORCE THAN USUAL TO TURN THE WHEEL. BY USING MORE FORCE TO BREAK THE 'WHEEL STICK', THE CAR TENDS TO OVER COMPENSATE. YOU ARE FORCED TO ALWAYS HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND IT MAKES THIS CAR A VERY UNENJOYABLE AND UNSAFE EXPERIENCE TO DRIVE. BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE IT. WILL BRING THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, IF THEY CANNOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, WILL TRADE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY (CAR HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT). I WILL NOT CONTINUE TO HAVE MY FAMILY DRIVE IN THIS CAR IF PROBLEM CANNOT BE RESOLVED.

THE SUNROOF IN MY 2016 CIVIC EXPLODED THIS MORNING. THERE WAS NO VEHICLES AROUND ME OR OVERPASSES. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND THEN I HEARD GLASS SHATTERING. THANKFULLY I HAD THE COVER CLOSED.

CAPLESS GAS TANK ALWAYS BACKFLOWS AND SPILLS GAS ONTO THE CAR IF I WAIT FOR THE GAS PUMP TO AUTO SHUT OFF. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY OF THE OLDER CARS I HAVE OWNED. TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING NOW I MANUALLY STOP THE GAS PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL.
