2016 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

3RD REAR BRAKE LIGHT COVER ON 2016 CIVIC COUPE CAME LOOSE AND WHEN BRAKES ARE USED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT REFLECTS ON REAR WIDOW CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEM AT NIGHT. ALSO COVER FLAPS AGAINST WINDOW WHEN WINDOWS OF CAR ARE OPEN.DEALER TRIED TO GLUE COVER IT LASTED 15 MINUTES. THEY SAID THE CURRENTLY HAVE NO FIX. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS DESIGN FLAW PROBLEM ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT COVER WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN RAIN, AS THE REFLECTION FROM THE RED LIGHT COVERS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND REFLECTS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS. YOU CANNOT SEE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TEMP IS HOT OR NOT. LEASED IN OHIO END OF JUNE AND WAS LIKE THAT THEN, AS WERE ALL COUPES ON LOT. DEALER SAID THEY COULD GLUE IN OHIO. CALLED ANOTHER DEALER HE SAID NOT TO DO THAT, WOULD VOID WARRANTY. CAR NOW WITH SON AT COLLEGE IN FLORIDA. CALLED DEALER THERE, KNEW NOTHING. THIS IS A HAZARD DRIVING AND I WANT IT DOCUMENTED, AS PRETTY MUCH ALL OTHER 2016 HONDA COUPE OWNERS DO, THAT IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS AT HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT. THERE IS A FORUM THAT HAS PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND ATTEMPTED FIXES, BUT NONE WORK. IT EVEN STATES THAT SINCE JULY 2016 HONDA IS WORKING ON A FIX. THIS IS A DANGER AND NEEDS FIXED ASAP.

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY NEW CIVIC HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND REPLACED TWICE AND IT WILL NOT STAY COVERING THE BRAKE LIGHT , POSES A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AS IT HANGS DOWN AND AT NIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHT SHINES THRU THE WINDSHIELD WILL BE TAKING BACK TO DEALER FOR THIRD TIME TO TRY AND RECTIFY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK KINERGY (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 215/55R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TREAD SEPARATED AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT PROVIDED.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CAME CAME LOOSE SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT AND PERSISTED AFTER ATTEMPTING A FIX. DEALER REPLACED THE ADHESIVE AND IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING LOOSE SEVERELY AFFECTS VISIBILITY THROUGH REAR WINDSHIELD. BRAKING AT NIGHT ILLUMINATES THE ENTIRE REAR WINDSHIELD AND SEVERELY OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW. DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A RECALL.

THE COVER FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR WINDOW DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED TO MY 2016 CIVIC COUPE. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT LIMITS MY VISIBILITY IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. I BRING MY NEW CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOUR TIME SO FAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND STILL NOT FIX. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT COVER BUT THE NEW PART DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED EITHER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED FOR A BETTER ATTACHMENT TO THE REAR WINDOW . I DO HOPE AT THIS POINT THAT HONDA WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON

THE COVER ON THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT AT THE 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 IN VISIBILITY IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. BESIDES REDUCING VISUAL SIGHT AREA, AT NIGHT THE RED LIGHT UPON BRAKE APPLICATION IS BOTH DISTRACTING AND OBLITERATES ANY OTHER VIEWING OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW. DEALER ATTEMPT TO FIX WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED FOR A BETTER INSTALLATION METHOD THAN DOUBLE SIDED TAPE ON THE EDGE OF THE PART. MANY OTHER COUPE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT COVER WILL NOT STAY AFFIXED TO WINDOW CAUSING LIGHT TO FLOOD THE BACK GLASS WHEN BRAKING.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FAILURE - TURNED VEHICLE ON IN DRIVEWAY, BRAKES LOCKED. CAR TOWED. HONDA HAS A WORK AROUND PROCESS TO AVOID THIS. I READ POSTS THAT THIS OCCURRED TO PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING CAME UNDONE. I'VE RESEARCHED SEVERAL HONDA CIVIC FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. ONE COMPLAINT EVEN READ THAT WHEN THEY CONTACTED THEIR DEALER THEY SAID THAT EVERY SINGLE 2016 CIVIC COUPE THEY HAD IN THE LOT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. MIND YOU THOSE VEHICLES HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN DRIVEN YET. WHILE FOR ME THIS IS MILDLY ANNOYING I CAN SEE HOW THIS CAN CAUSE REAL VISIBILITY ISSUES. SO FAR THERE ARE NO PERMANENT FIXES BY HONDA FOR THIS. I FULLY EXPECT A RECALL ONCE A PERMANENT FIX IS MADE BY HONDA AND THERE SHOULD BE ONE. NOT ONLY IS THIS ANNOYING BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.
