2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

THE COVER ON THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AT TOP CENTER OF THE REAR WINDOW ON THE COUPE VERSION OF THIS CAR DOES NOT STAY ADHERED TO THE WINDOW. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE I VISIBILITY IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. BESIDES REDUCING VISUAL SIGHT AREA. AT NIGHT THE RED LIGHT UPON BRAKE APPLICATION IS BOTH DISTRACTING OBLITERATES ANY OTHER VIEWING OUT OF THE READ WINDOW. DEALER ATTEMPT TO FIX WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED FOR BETTER INSTALLATION METHOD THAN DOUBLE SIDED TAPE ON THE EDGE OF THE PART. MANY OTHER COUPE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING FEEL OFF THE SAME DAY THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT NIGHT, THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW LIGHTS UP WHEN I BRAKE. THIS IS A BLINDING AND DISTRACTING LIGHT THAT PREVENTS ME FROM SEEING OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THIS AS PER INSTRUCTIONS FROM HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH FOUR HANKOOK TIRES, SIZE: 215/50R/17 91H (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT, WHICH DAMAGED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILIABLE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

I LEASED THE HONDA CIVIC 2016 AT WOODLAND HILLS HONDA. IT WAS AFTER LEASING DATE, WITHIN 24-48 HOURS TIME, I RETURNED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HONDA CIVIC 2016 DID NOT COME WITH A CD PLAYER AND ONLY OFFERED AN AUXILIARY CORD OUTLET TO WORK THE ENTIRE SOUND SYSTEM BY MY CELL PHONE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH A NEW CAR UNLESS I WANTED TO PAY MORE MONEY BUT I COULD NOT GET A NEW CAR AT THE SAME PRICE. I ARGUED FOR MONTHS WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT BEING FORCED TO WORK THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND RUN MY MAPS FOR NAVIGATION THROUGH MY CELL PHONE POSED A SERIOUS THREAT OF DISTRACTED DRIVING. THE CAR IS BUILT IN SUCH A WAY, THAT THE DRIVER IS ONLY GIVEN AN OPTION TO USE THE CELL PHONE TO OPERATE AUDIO AND NAVIGATION. THE WAY THAT THE CAR IS BUILT, WITHOUT THE CD PLAYER, AND ONLY AN AUXILIARY CORD TO PLUG INTO MY PHONE TO WORK THE SOUND SYSTEM INTERFACE CONFLICTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA ANTI-TEXTING LAW VC 23123.5. BEING FORCED TO WORK MY SOUND SYSTEM AND MAPS FOR NAVIGATION ON MY CELL PHONE IS THE SAME SPIRIT AS TO WHAT AND WHY THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. IT IS DISTRACTED DRIVING. SALESMEN ARE NOT CLEARLY EXPLAINING THAT YOU ARE BUYING A CAR WITH NO CD PLAYER AND YOU NEED TO WORK YOUR MUSIC FROM YOUR CELL PHONE. THERE IS ALSO MORE CONFUSION AT THE POINT OF SALE BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER CARS THAT COME WITH BOTH THE AUX CORD AND ALSO THE CD PLAYER SUCH AS THE HONDA ACCORD 2016 PILOT FOR EXAMPLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I BELIEVED I WAS BUYING A CAR WITH BOTH THE AUX CORD AND THE CD PLAYER. LATER, IS WHEN I LEARNED, I LEASED THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY THE AUX CORD OPTION. I REQUESTED TO END MY CONTRACT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS I BELIEVED THE CAR WAS A POLICE MAGNET. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MAKES ME DO SOMETHING TO ATTRACT OFFICERS. THIS IS A SAFETY AND LEGAL CONCERN. TICKETED ON 8/31/16.

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH IN DAYTIME/DRY CONDITIONS/LIGHT TRAFFIC ON A STRAIGHT PORTION OF A TWO-LANE STREET, VEHICLE LOST INSTRUMENTATION (TACH, SPEEDOMETER, AND CENTRAL DISPLAY) FOR APPROX. 45-60 SECONDS. AS SYSTEM RESET, LARGE "H" WAS DISPLAYED FOR A PERIOD AND THEN INSTRUMENTATION WAS RESTORED. QUERIED SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WASN'T A KNOWN ISSUE. OCCURRED ABOUT MAR 16. HASN'T REOCCURRED YET.

BLACK BOX HOLDING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS FALLING AND BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW . IT IS DOWN BY 3 INCHES AND THRE'S LIMITED VISIVILITY WHEN LOOKING AT THE REAR OF THE CAR AS THIS BOX IS BLOCKING THE VIEW. WEST COVINA NORM REEVES DON'T HAVE ANYMORE OPTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE USED VELCRO AND TAPE AND DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER THIS 4X4X4X4 BLACK BOX IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESP. IN THE NIGHT WHERE YOU DONT HAVE FULL VIEW AT THE REAR OF THE CAR. NO OPTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO CONTACT ME IF THERES ANY SOLUTION. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT WITH 26 MILES ON IT HONDA COUPE 2016.
