2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SOY BASE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN EATEN THROUGH BY RODENTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

WHEN REFUELING MY CIVIC THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE IT WILL OVER FULE AND NOT STOP THE GAS PUMP. SOMETIMES GASOLINE WILL OVERFILL ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE GROUND. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS TWICE, BOTH TIMES BEING TOLD HONDA IS AWARE AND INVESTIGATING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE WERE TO DISCARD A CIGARETTE, AND CATCH THAT GASOLINE THAT OVERFILLED AND SPILLED OUT OF THE CAR ON FIRE?

BREAKING SYSTEM RECALL NOT PERFORMED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP, EVEN WHEN ASKED AND TALKED ABOUT. ASKED SERVICE MEMBER AND THE GENERAL MANAGER, BOTH TOOK A "DO NOT CARE" APPROACH. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THIS IS ROPER HONDA IN JOPLIN, MO.

TRUNK SPONTANEOUSLY OPENS. IT HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, CONTACTED HONDA'S HEADQUARTERS. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE SO CANNOT FIX IT. THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE CIVIC ONLINE FORUM WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE WHERE I CANNOT KEEP ANYTHING IN MY TRUNK. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. ONE NIGHT AFTER I GOT HOME, I WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR AND THE TRUNK WAS OPENED. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I GO OUT TO MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK AND MY TRUNK IS OPEN. I KEEP THE KEYS AS FAR AWAY FROM THE CAR AS I CAN, I HANG THEM UP, BUT THEM IN THE BEDROOM AND IT DOES NOT GOOD--SO IT IS NOT THE SENSITIVITY OF THE KEY. I ALSO NOTICED MY GAS TANK HATCH OPENS AFTER I FILL THE TANK. SEE THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE TO HONDA DATED TODAY.

BATTERY DIED IN NORMAL WEATHER CONDITION IN AUSTIN TX ON 2/20/17. EVEY ELECTRICAL OPERATION WAS DISABLED. BY JUMP STARTING THE CAR, THE BATTERY WAS TESTED AT AUTO PARTS SHOP AUTOZONE. THE AUSTZONE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT HOLDING THE CHARGE.

THERE ARE THREE ISSUES WITH THIS 2016 HONDA CIVIC. HOWEVER ONE OF THESE ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED "IMMEDIATELY". WHEN YOU GO TO PARK YOUR CAR,(HAVING IT IN A STATIONARY POSITION) YOU PUSH THE PUSH BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. HOWEVER IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, IT "TURNS OFF" AND GIVES YOU A WARNING TONE. BUT!!!! IF YOUR HARD OF HEARING, AND YOU DON'T HEAR THIS TONE, YOU GO TO GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND IT EITHER ROLLS BACKWARDS (KNOCKING YOU DOWN WITH THE DOOR) AS IT ROLLS AWAY FROM YOU (AND HOPEFULLY NOT OVER YOU), "OR" IT ROLLS FORWARD, RUNNING COMPLETELY AWAY FROM YOU. THERE IS NO SAFETY FEATURE, SUCH AS THE ACURA. THE ACURA AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS YOUR CARS POSITION SO IT DOESN'T ROLL AWAY FROM YOU OR OVER YOU... MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN HURT TWICE DUE TO THIS UNSAFE FEATURE. AND I MYSELF HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY IT ONCE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT. QUESTION IS? HOW MANY MORE MILES WILL IT BE ABLE TO ACCUMULATE BEFORE KILLING ONE OF US, OR SOMEONE ELSE? IF THERE WAS A WAY FOR ME TO SEND YOU A VIDEO OF THIS I WOULD. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD FROM MY PHONE.

MY WIFE GETS 'SICK' AFTER RIDING IN SAID CAR. WE SUSPECT THAT THE CAR IS EMITTING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCS) TO WHICH SHE IS SENSITIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PHENOMENON SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST 2016 (IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2017).

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE IT LEAKS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I LEASED THE VEHICLE AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE IT NOW POURS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN FUELING IS COMPLETE. I HAVE A VIDEO

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED IT RIGHT WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED. THERE IS NO IMPACTED POINT IN THE GLASS JUST THE SPLINTERING OF THE GLASS. SAFELITE HAD TO MAKE A SMALL HOLE JUST TO DO THE REPAIR. IS THIS WINDSHIELD DEFECTIVE? IT HAPPEN TO MY SON'S GIRLFRIEND'S 2017 HONDA CIVIC AS WELL. WE BOTH JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS INFERIOR OR DEFECTIVE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS THE (BRAKE HOLD) LIGHT TURNS ON THEN IT BRAKES THE VEHICLE ON ITS OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TURNS ON THE (HOLD) LIGHT . IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING I NEED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BACK ON. THIS HAS 3 TIMES ALREADY. *TR
