2016 Honda Civic

CAR DOORS WILL SOMETIMES REFUSE TO UNLOCK / ACKNOWLEDGE REMOTE CONTROL AFTER THE TRUNK IS CLOSED. THE CAR'S COMPUTER CRASHES. VIDEO OF ME EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=NNBIWHK2TBG IT'S DIFFICULT TO REPRO, BUT HERE ARE THE STEPS: 1. OPEN THE TRUNK. 2. CLOSE THE TRUNK 3. OBSERVE THAT BOTH TURN SIGNALS ARE SOLIDLY LIT 4. OBSERVE THAT THE CAR NO LONGER RESPONDS TO THE REMOTE. AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR IS TO TAKE OUT THE EMERGENCY KEY - WHICH WILL THEN TRIGGER THE THEFT ALARM. LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS: 1.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE SHOP 5 TIMES FOR "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE", "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE", "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM FAILURE", "TIRE PRESSURE LOW", AND "CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE" WITH NO RESOLVE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THESE MESSAGES WERE ALL ON THE RADIO DISPLAY PRIOR TO TODAY TO WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE FALSE FLAGS. I AM NOT SURE HOW A "BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE" ANYWHERE ON A DASH IS A FALSE FLAG. THESE MESSAGES GENERALLY OCCURRED UPON STARTUP BUT MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING. LAST NIGHT, ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WOULD NOT START UP AT THIS TIME.

THERE ARE THREE PROBLEMS I WANT TO COMPLAIN: 1) INFORMATION SCREEN FLICKERS FOR 10 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. I SENT IT TO DEALER SHOP, BUT THEY SAID THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM, AND HAD NO SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER WEEK IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. 2) INFORMATION SCREEN SHOWS SIX DIFFERENT WARNING MESSAGES AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, INCLUDING ABS FAILURE, VSA FAILURE, LOW BATTERY LEVEL, COLLISION MITIGATION FAILURE, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE ETC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE REASON THEY TOLD ME IS THAT THEY HAD ONE OF MY TIRES REPLACED ONE WEEK BEFORE AND TPMS HAD NOT BEEN RESET CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, WHY IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR THE SYSTEM TO GIVE THE WARNING MESSAGES INSTEAD OF RIGHT AFTER TIRE GOT CHANGED? 3) TPMS FAILED TO DETECT FLAT TIRE. I WAS DRIVING A CAR WITH ONE FLAT TIRE FOR 1 MILE, AND THE TPMS EVEN FAILED TO DETECT THE FLAT TIRE.

I CRANKED UP MY BRAND NEW HONDA AND A EMISSIONS SYSTEM ERROR DISPLAYED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND DROVE IT TO THEM. IN RETROSPECT THAT WAS PROBABLY A BAD IDEA. MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD HAVE GLITCHED AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT. RODENTS ATE MY WIRING HARNESS THIS WEEKEND. AS PER THE SERVICE TECH AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THE WIRING HARNESS AND SURROUNDING PIECES ARE MADE FROM A SOYBEAN DERIVATIVE. THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO IT BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY IT'S A PROTEIN PACK ON TIRES. THIS IS MY 7TH HONDA (PRELUDE SI, CIVIC SI, ACCORD EX, CIVIC DX, HONDA ATV, HONDA ATV) AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY CRITTER EAT ANYTHING HONDA RELATED BEFORE. I STILL PARK IN THE SAME PLACE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. MY ANGST IS THAT HONDA IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE PARTS NOT MAD FROM SOYBEANS. IF MY NEW HONDA HAD BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH SOMETHING LESS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY IS IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THIS LOSS WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED. THE THING THAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST IS THAT HONDA'S BRAND OF RODENT DETERRENT TAPE IS NOT PART OF ANY DEALER OPTION PACKAGE. THEREFORE I WASN'T OFFERED A CHANCE TO BUY THE $30 ROLL OF RODENT TAPE FROM THE HONDA PARTS DEPARTMENT. NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER $1000 IN DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY TAPE AND HONDA CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE WAY THEY REPAIR IT WILL NOT PREVENT IT FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CALL FOR 3 MONTHS. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER $1000 REPAIR. DOES HONDA TRULY BELIEVE THAT USING THESE PARTS IS OKAY? DO THEY EXPECT ME TO PURCHASE AN 8TH HONDA AFTER DEALING WITH THIS MESS? I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND USING THE CRUZE CONTROL IN OUR TOURING MODEL THE SYSTEMS WOULD FAIL AND THE DISPLAY MULTIPLE ERRORS LIKE STABILITY CONTROL AND COLLISION MITIGATION HAVE FAILED. TO RESET THESE WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD STOP THE ENGINE AND RESTART. WE HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DISPLAYS. IT HAPPENED AT ANY SPEED. THE PROBLEMS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 7 TIMES AND WAS ONLY FIXED AFTER WE THREATENED TO PROCEED WE THE TEXAS LIMON LAW.

EVERY SINCE THE REPAIR OF THE RECALL THE ENGINE PULLS NOT EVEN AN HOUR AFTER THE PICK UP THE CAR HAD TO GO BACK IN THE SHOP FOR BELT REPAIR. IT MAKES NOISES AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE . I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO SPEAK WITH PATRICK NEVER TO GET A CALL BACK. THE CARE IS IN MOTION. THE SMART CONNECTION DOESN'T WORK IT STOP RECOGNIZING ANY DEVICE

POSSIBLE ELECTRIC PROBLEM. HAVE MY CIVIC EX FOR A MONTH. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON FREEWAY, I CANNOT OPEN MOON-ROOF, LOWER THE FRONT PASSAGE SIDE WINDOW OR ADJUST THE PASSAGE SIDE RARE MIRROR. ALL OTHER STUFF WORKS FINE. AFTER STOP AT A GAS STATION, I TURN OFF THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY AND WAITING FOR AROUND 1 MINS THEN TURN THE CAR ON AGAIN. PROBLEM IS STILL THE SAME. SO I WENT TO OPEN THE PASSAGE SIDE DOOR AND PUSH THE LOWER WINDOW BUTTON, IT WORKS. THEN I BACK TO DRIVER'S SEAT EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. NO RAIN, NO SHOW, ON THAT DAY.

MY MOTHER IN LAW'S NOT EVEN A WEEK OLD CIVIC HAD A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE ON I-210 EASTBOUND JUST BEFORE THE CAMPUS EXIT, PROBABLY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE AFTERNOON OF 02/06/2016. AAA AND THE POLICE RESPONDED. THEY COULD NOT RESTART IT. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED TO ROCK HONDA WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I AM [XXX] [XXX] LAKEWOOD, CO 80228 [XXX].
