2016 Honda Civic

My Honda Civic with manual transmission, suddenly would not go into gear and lost power (engine still running). Fortunately, I was able to coast to the opposite side of the road across oncoming traffic, since there was no right shoulder. After a tow home, I discovered that the manual clutch slave cylinder was detached from the engine block (photo attached) and of the 2 connecting bolts (photo attached), one was sheared and the other was intact but unconnected. The last service to the vehicle was with Manly Honda service in Santa Rosa, CA replacing the AC condenser and compressor. I called them to see if they had not secured the 2 bolts after completing the AC service. The service manager said that they would not have removed this clutch slave cylinder in the AC service. I advised the service manager that if the clutch cylinder had not been removed by them, then it could be a safety hazard issue that should be reported to Honda Motors. After some online research, I have discovered that this problem has been experiened by other Honda Civic owners.

The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while the vehicle was idling or driving at various speeds, she depressed the accelerator pedal however, the RPM’s increased and the engine revved; however, there was an extended delay before the vehicle responded. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure, and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

When driving for over 15-20 minutes started to noticed my steering begin to become stiff then would being to stick. Found the longer I drove the stiffer it would become, as well if I was going over 55 mpg it would stick more and more. Took it to the Dealership had no error codes and they couldn't find anything. Have taken back to the Dealership after having a private mechanic look at it as well as doing some research and other people having the same issue and they have confirmed the issue being with the Power Steering Assembly(Part # 53650-TVC-A21). This issue is sporadic and gradually gets worse.

The contact's son owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while her son was driving 60 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle temporarily stalled. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred whenever the gear shifter was shifted to DRIVE. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the transmission needing to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FROM ELITE MOTORS IN SACRAMENTO I ALSO NOUGHT A WARRANTY FOR POWER TRAIN. IMMEDIATELY THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THEY FIXED IT. NOW IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. I WENT TO A SHOP TO FILL FREON THEY SAID THERE IS STILL PRESSURE IN IT AND TGAT THEY NEED A DIAGNOSIS FIRST BECAUSE IT COULD BE A CONDENSER. I DO NOT HAVE $260 TO DIAGNOSE THIS CAR. CAN HONDA BE FORCED TO REPAIR THIS?

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC EXL A/C SYSTEM NO LONGER WORKING. FOR THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE I WOULD THINK THE A/C SYSTEM WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS YET. I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CONDENSER SYSTEM DUE TO LEAKS, SO I TOOK IT IN THINKING THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE ISSUE. I FIND OUT I'M OUT $100 FOR THE INSPECTION EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T THE CONDENSER AND THAT THE ISSUE IS INSTEAD THE COMPRESSOR THAT IS LEAKING! THESE PARTS ARE SO CLOSELY RELATED THAT HONDA SHOULD BE DOING A COMPLETE RECALL ON THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM! I LOOKED ONLINE FOR OTHERS TO SEE IF THEY WERE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND OF COURSE THEY ARE! WHAT A SURPRISE, IT SEEMS AS IF HONDA IS ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE DOING NOTHING TO RESOLVE OR FIX THEIR FAULTY AC SYSTEMS. THERE COMPRESSORS ARE ON BACK ORDER 3-4 WEEKS OUT. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD RECALL THEIR COMPLETE HONDA CIVIC'S 16-18 FOR FAULTY AC SYSTEMS!
