2016 Honda Civic

AIR CONDITIONING A/C HAS BEEN NOT WORKING FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO. IT STARTED OFF BLOWING WARM AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COOL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT'S WARM ON BOTH SIDES NOW. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OTHER CIVIC OWNERS I KNOW. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY HONDA. I'VE HAD HONDA VEHICLES FOR PLENTY OF YEARS. ACCORDS, CRV AND OTHER YEAR CIVICS. I'M READY TO GIVE IT UP, SO MUCH FOR RELIABILITY.

I GOT INTO THE TRUNK OF MY CIVIC (KEYLESS) AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAR, EVERYTHING HAD SHUT DOWN AND IT IS LOCKED AND WON'T RESPOND TO THE EMERGENCY KEY OR THE FOB. THIS BEGAN 2 DAYS AGO AND I SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS O THE INTERNET OF THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO MY CAR HERE IN THE ARIZONA DESERT COULD BE A SERIOUE PROBLEM.

THE AC COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE BOTH LEAKING. ONE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO TELL ME THEY WERE LEAKING BECAUSE A ROCK HIT IT AND CAUSED THE DAMAGE, AND IT COSTS $600 TO FIX. BUT UPON PROPER DIAGNOSIS FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY DID TELL ME BOTH THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE LEAKING, AND IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE KNOWN ISSUES THAT PEOPLE HAVE LISTED ONLINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH GOOD WILL. THEY SAID THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY 50/50, WHICH LEAVES ME TO PAY $842 BEFORE TAXES TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER SOLUTION. THIS IS UNSAFE THAT ALL OF THESE CARS HAVING LEAKING CONDENSERS AND COMPRESSORS AND IT IS A SCAM TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY ANYTHING TO FIX AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN IT IS HOT WEATHER OR RAINING AND THEN IT GETS COLD THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO SEE WITHOUT HAVING THE AIR ON. THE AC HELPS TO ELIMINATE ANY VISIBILITY ISSUES WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. CURRENTLY MY WINDSHIELD KEEPS FOGGING UP DUE TO NOT HAVING THE AC, ESPECIALLY WHEN ANOTHER CAR IS COMING TOWARDS ME WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS, MY WINDSHIELD BLINDS ME. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF SOMEONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME BY LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND POSSIBLE POSTING A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE PRODUCTS, I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT. I ALREADY SPOKE TO CORPORATE HONDA AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE AND THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T PUT OUT THEIR OWN RECALLS. BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS NOT OKAY, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO HAVE A FAULTY SYSTEM FIXED, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS WAY. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE AFTER THE CAR WAS ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON ONE SPECIFIC DAY, IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND I TRIED TO TURN MY CAR ON AND I STEPPED ON MY FOOT BRAKE IT FELT REAL STIFF THAN I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE START BUTTON BUT MY CAR FAILED TO START. SEVERAL ERROR CODES POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD. (BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEARING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM VEHICLE STABILITY ASSISST (VSA) PEONLEM, HILL START ASSISST PROBLEM, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, EMISSIONS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END/SIDE COLLISION. WHEN TOLD BY COLLISION SHOP THE VEHICLE WAS FINISHED AND UPON COMING IN TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, OBVIOUS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE REMAINED UNTOUCHED, AND UNREPAIRED ENGINE DAMAGE WAS OBVIOUS. COLLISION SHOP AND INSURANCE COMPANY INSISTED VEHICLE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETE AND FOUGHT ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FINALLY TAKEN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND A DTC CODE WAS THRON. ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE POST COLLISION WERE NOTED AND BOTH COLLISION SHOP AND INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SAFETY ISSUES AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY STANDARDS. NEITHER THE COLLISION SHOP NOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW 2016 CIVIC BODY, DIAGNOSTICS, CRASH ZONES, AND HONDA POSITION STATEMENTS ISSUED FOR THE PARTICULAR MODEL. THE VEHICLE WAS SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED FOR A NEWLY LICENSED DRIVER, WITH SAFETY BEING THE TOP PRIORITY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE AND IT WOULD BE TRAGIC TO HAVE ANOTHER ACCIDENT, WHERE THE OTHER DRIVER IS AT FAULT, WITH A MUCH WORSE OUTCOME BECAUSE THE INTEGRITY OF THIS THIS VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED DUE TO INADEQUATE REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT LOAD ALL THE REPAIR PHOTOS, BUT THE HOOD IS NOT FITTED, THE PILLARS ARE BUCKLED, THE FOOT ROCKERS/ FLOOR PAN IS LOOSE.

ISSUES: UNDER SPLASH / GUARD FALLING DOWN - YONKERS HONDA SERVICE PARTS STATE IT IS PHYSICAL DAMAGE FOR THE UNDER SPLASH GUARD TO FALL DOWN AND NOT POSSIBLY THE SCREWS GETTING LOOSE. YONKER SERVICE PARTS SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THAT I MUST OF WENT OVER SOMETHING THAT PULLED DOWN THE UNDER GUARD. I NOW HAVE 11,900 MILES AND CAR UNDER 2 YEARS OLD. INITIALLY I HAD TO GO TO A LOCAL DEALER TO NOT REPLACE BUT TO PUT SCREWS IN, SO I COULD GO TO MY HONDA SERVICE TO INSPECT WHY THIS HAPPENED ON A NEW CAR. I WAS ONLY CHARGED $71 TO PUT SCREWS IN. ALL PARTS WERE STILL INTACT AFTER SPLASH DROPPED AND I HAD TO DRIVE TO GET MY SERVICE TO A PLACE CLOSER HOME BECAUSE DRAGGING MY UNDER GUARDS WOULD MEAN GREATER DAMAGE. BY THE TIME I MADE IT TO HONDA SERVICE, THE SPLASH DROPPED AGAIN AND HONDA STATED I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE UNDERGUARDS THAT WERE STILL IN TACT BUT A LITTLE BENT FROM DRAGGING. THEY SAID IT WAS EXTERNAL PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND NOT A DEFECT AND THEN QUOTED ME $400 AND PUT TIES UP SO I CAN DRIVE THE CAR. I LOOKED UP THE PARTS AT A HONDA PARTS SERVICE DEALER AND THE PARTS I AM QUOTED ARE WAY MORE THAN WHAT I NOTICED FOR THE MARKET. FOUR MONTHS INTO HAVING MY CAR, ALL 4 CAR WINDOWS COME HALFWAY DOWN AFTER EXITING THE CAR AND PRESSING DOWN THE LOCK WITH REMOTE. NO INFORMATION ON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE HONDA MANUAL. HONDA SEVICE AUTO PARTS ADVISOR STATED THIS IS NORMAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO. PHOTOS SHOW INITIAL FALL OF UNDER SPLASH IN JANUARY
