2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. UPON CHANGING GEARS FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR, THE GEARS WERE SLOW TO CHANGE OVER. THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LATER ACCELERATED TO CHANGE GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE REPLICATED AND DIAGNOSED. A SERVICE CENTER MANAGER INDICATED THAT THE CONDITION WAS EXPERIENCED MORE THAN TWICE FROM A TEST DRIVE, BUT PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE THE DEALER WITH A REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V574000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

IF YOU HAVE TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, VEHICLE WILL NOT REACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR. YOU HAVE TO PUMP ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN AND VEHICLE RESUMES ACCELERATION. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ALREADY. VERY DANGEROUS! ESPECIALLY FOR AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. ALSO, SEATBELT LOCKS UP TIGHTLY AND YOU CANNOT MOVE UPON SUDDEN BRAKING. YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT LOOSENS UP. THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT LOOK AROUND TO SEE YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC SEDAN TOURING HAS HAD NAVIGATION SYSTEM/GPS PROBLEMS FROM DAY TWO: - DOES NOT ACQUIRE SATELLITE DATA / DOES NOT CONNECT TO SATELLITE - NAVIGATION SYSTEM SHOWING THE CAR LOCATION COMPLETELY WRONG, SOMETIMES BY A MILE - NAVIGATION SYSTEM REBOOTING ITSELF WHILE DRIVING - CAR SYMBOL IS WIGGLING ALL OVER THE MAP WHILE DRIVING THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN, ON A TWO-LANE STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY, DAY OR NIGHT. MORE THAN 10 INSTANCES CAUGHT ON VIDEO AND PICTURES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT ENDANGERED CAR PASSENGERS' SAFETY BY SHOWING WRONG INFORMATION AND GIVING WRONG DIRECTIONS IN UNFAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS WHERE GPS/NAVIGATION SYSTEM WERE NEEDED. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR: FIRST TIME A NAVIGATION SOFTWARE "RESET" WAS PERFORMED, SECOND TIME WAS KEPT FOR 9 DAYS AND THE HMI HEAD WAS REPLACED, THIRD TIME WAS KEPT FOR 6 DAYS AND THE ANTENNA WAS REPLACED. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER MORE THAN 21 DAYS OF DRAGGING THEIR FEET THE SELLING DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AGAIN, MONDAY JAN. 16TH. THE CAR RIGHT NOW HAS LESS THAN 4,500 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED POSTAL MAIL ABOUT A RECALL PENDING ON MY VEHICLE THAT WAS TO BE COMPLETED IN FALL 2016. IT IS NOW JANUARY/WINTER 2017 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO UPDATE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT HAS A POTENTIAL GRENADE EMBEDDED IN THE STEERING WHEEL IN FRONT OF MY FACE AND CHEST. *TR

A " CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" MESSAGE AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE OCCURS AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES. *TR

2016 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE FAILURES FOUR DAYS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE. *SMD

THE HONDA CIVIC WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET WHEN IT WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. A FEW HOURS LATER THE CAR ALARM WAS GOING OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE AND INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE POLICE IN MY JURISDICTION DO NOT TAKE ACCIDENT REPORTS FOR ACCIDENTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY THEREFORE A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT TAKEN. AFTER THE INCIDENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A ACTIVE RECALL INVOLVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR ON OCTOBER 8, 2016 I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "DO NOT SELL" NOTE IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DUE TO THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO THE DOWNLOAD WHILE WE DID THE PAPERWORK. AFTER THIS INCIDENT INVOLVING THE WRECK THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO CHECKED THE DOWNLOAD AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DOWNLOAD WAS UP TO DATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED WHICH THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES FOUND IN THE SYSTEM. THIS WAS DONE AT THE ADVICE OF HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED ME TODAY AND STATED THAT AT THIS TIME THEY RECOMMEND PROCEEDING WITH AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I STATED THAT I THOUGHT THAT SINCE THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL AND THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL FAILED THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO LOOK AT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE DEALER REPORTS AND IF THEY FOUND SOMETHING THEY WOULD CONTACT ME BACK WHICH SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME. WHAT'S TO SAY THE BRAKE WON'T FAIL AGAIN AND NEXT TIME THERE MAY BE SOMEONE BEHIND IT OR IN FRONT OF IT. *TR

I AM STILL HAVING BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO GEAR AND DRIVE! SINCE LETTER FOR RECALL IN NOVEMBER, WHICH ALREADY SET APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO REPROGRAM OR REBOOT SYSTEM THEY STATED WOULD TAKE CARE OF,I HAVE BEEN BACK TWICE AFTER THAT. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE WARNING EXCLAMATION LIGHT FLASHING AND WAS TOLD ALL'S FINE THE NEW CARS ARE SENSITIVE WHEN TAKE. MY BLUETOOTH CONNECT ACTS UP ALL TIME WHERE NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO USE AMENITIES PAYING FOR WITH CAR.I'M PISSED BECAUSE NOW OUTSIDE MOVIE THEATER WITH KIDS AND STUCK AGAIN BREAK LOCKED. BEYOND A LITTLE INCONVENIENCE NOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA UNTIL GOT THIS 2016 HONDA CIVIC *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH WHEN SUDDENLY ALL THE INDICATORS WENT BERSERK WITH 6 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS APPEARING ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I WENT FROM 70 TO 40MPH WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. I WENT TO THE SHOULDER TO STOP AND THESE PROBLEMS APPEARED: POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EPS), VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA), HILL START ASSIST, EMISSIONS SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM AND BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM. IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME COZ THE CARS BEHIND ME STARTED HONKING AT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN REDUCED SPEED. IT COULD'VE COST ME MY LIFE! IT WAS ONLY AT 1195MILES WHEN THAT HAPPENED AND DID NOTHING THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DEFECTS. I AM ON A THREE YEAR LEASE AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN LESS THAN 2MONTHS SINCE I HAD THE CAR. I DON'T WANT THAT CAR ANYMORE SO IF YOU CANT GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE (WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COSTS), THEN I WOULD WANT A FULL REFUND AND CANCEL MY LEASE. *TR

DRIVING INTO A SMALL TOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF INSIDE THE CAR. THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. NO TRAFFIC WAS AROUND. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF. ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS FELL INTO THE CAR. IT HAD BLOWN OUTWARD LEAVING A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE EDGES STICKING UP. DROVE DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW 6 MONTHS EARLIER. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT OCCURRING AND IT WAS A INSURANCE CLAIM AND NOT HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY SINCE WE COULDN'T PROVE IT WASN'T A ROCK. NOTHING HIT THE CAR AND THE GLASS BLEW OUT WHICH SCRATCHED THE PAINT ON THE TRUNK LID. *TR
