2016 Honda Civic

HONDA CIVIC 2016 X 4S A PEBBLE CRACKED WINDSHIELD 60MPH ZONE DURHAM FREEWAY 147 (4300 MILES) JULY 17, 2016. REPLACED WITH HONDA WINDSHIELD SOLAR GLASS ACOUSTIC E4 DOT 865ASIM7845. 43R-10979 ON JULY 20, 2016. THIS WINDSHIELD LASTED 5 WEEKS. PEBBLE IN 45 MPH ZONE NC STATE 87 WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON AUGUST 27, 2016. HONDA PARTS HAS A WEB PAGE THREAD. THIS PROBLEM WITH CRACKED WINDSHIELDS IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH THIS MODEL HONDA CIVIC X. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE; SINCE THE WINDSHIELDS HAVE NOT HELD UP IN A 45 MPH AND 60 MPH POSTED SPEEDS IN BOTH SITUATIONS. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE ALSO IN SHORT SUPPLY. HAD TO WAIT FIVE WEEKS FOR THE SECOND ONE. HAVE ORDERED MY THIRD WINDSHIELD TODAY. HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOTH WINDSHIELDS BUT HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN UPLOADING THEM TO THIS PAGE.

CAR PURCHASED IN MAY , WITH 3700 K HAS HAD 3 ISSUES: GETTING READY TO BACK UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY - THE BACKUP SCREEN WAS DIMINISHED TO A SMALL SLIVER ACROSS THE TOP OF ENTIRE SCREEN WITH THE BALANCE OF SCREEN BLACK. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO BE FIXED. WHEN I DROVE AWAY, ERROR MESSAGES, "TIRE PRESSURE LOW, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM." TOK IT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE TECHNICIAN FAILED TO FORGOT TO ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO RUN THRU THE ENTIRE CYCLE BEFORE RETURNING THE CAR TO ME. JUST HAD PROBLEM WITH THE A/C. CAR WOULD BLOW HOT AIR AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING - WAS TOLD HOSE WAS COLLASPING KEEPING COLD AIR FROM COMING OUT. HOSE WAS REPLACED- DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SAME ISSUE AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING. HAD TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF AIR AND LEAVE IT OFF FOR 1/2 HOUR OR MORE TO GET A/C TO WORK. DEALER HAS NOW REPLACED THE A/C COMPRESSOR.

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

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED AT ABOUT 750 MILES WHILE TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE... CAR BRAND NEW... CHECKED ALL PRESSURES AT 65F COLD AND ALL AT PRESSURES SPECIFIED ON DOOR JAMB... DID NOT FIND ANY PUNCTURES OR OBJECTS IN TIRE... HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO DEALER BUT I MANUALLY RESET SYSTEM BY "CALIBRATING..." LIGHT IS NOW BACK AT ABOUT 825 MILES...

CERTAIN HONDA CIVIC'S HAVE APPLE'S CARPLAY INSTALLED, THROUGH THE IOS IPHONE MOBILE PHONE PLATFORM. WHEN ENABLED, OR PLUGGED INTO THE CAR, NAVIGATION SUPPORT PROVIDED BY APPLE'S MAPS APPLICATION GOES INTO 'DAY MODE' WHILE AT NIGHT. THIS CREATES A HUGE AMOUNT OF BRIGHTNESS IN THE CAR AND BLINDS THE DRIVER WITH BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN EASILY SEE HOW ACCIDENTS CAN BE TRIGGERED DUE TO BLINDING INTERIOR LIGHT DUE TO THE APPLE MAPS (THROUGH CARPLAY) NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ERROR, OR POOR DESIGN BY APPLE/HONDA. I BELIEVE THAT CARPLAY'S NAVIGATION FUNCTION IS A DANGER TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BECAUSE HAVING HUGE AMOUNTS OF SUDDEN BRIGHTNESS CAUSES DISTRACTION AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH VISION.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY THROWN ERRORS WITH WARNINGS TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM. IN BOTH CASES HONDA INSTALLED AN UPDATED VSA MODULATOR THEY CLAIMED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. NOT THE LOCAL DEALER DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO SEE THE VEHICLE AS THEY TELL ME THEIR IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR US. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE EMAILED HONDA CORPORATE TO HAVE A REGIONAL REP CONTACT US. IT HAS BEEN 4 DAYS SINCE. THEY SAY THE VEHICLE IS SAFE, BUT YET THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT THEY CANNOT CORRECT, AND MY CAR IS NOT ALONE. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE TWO SITES TO SEE EXAMPLES: HTTP://HONDACIVICPROBLEMS.COM AND HTTP://WWW.CIVICX.COM/THREADS/TPMS-ABS-BRAKE-SYSTEM-ACC-FREAK-OUT.1002/ EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. EACH TIME THE ERROR MESSAGES APPEAR AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE WARNINGS INSTRUCT YOU NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ERRORS INCLUDE: CMBS PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, TIRE PRESSURE LOW, AND CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L ON 2/17. ON 2/24, THE CAR BROKE DOWN MIDWAY (MILES DRIVEN 88). WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ALL KINDS OF VIDEO WARNING MESSAGES LIKE PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION, BRAKING SYSTEM, STEERING ETC. STARTED APPEARING ON THE CENTER DISPLAY WERE THE VEHICLE'S SPEED GETS DISPLAYED(PART OF THE TACHOMETER / SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY). I HAD TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NEXT DAY THE DEALER RETURNED THE VEHICLE SAYING THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. FROM THAT DAY ONWARDS, I STARTED FACING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE FAILING TO ACCELERATE WHICH I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE. ON 2/26 (AT SPEED OF 62 MPH) AND AGAIN ON 3/4 (AT SPEED OF 46), WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION INSPITE OF ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. NOW I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 3/4 AND IT IS WITH THE DEALER FOR THE PAST 6 DAYS. TODAY (3/10), THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT FEELING SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO ANY ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE ASKED ME TO TAKE BACK THE UNSAFE VEHICLE OR TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE AS AN USED VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT, I AM LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO BEAR THE LOSS AND TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 200 MILES (MOST OF THE MILES ADDED DUE MY TRIPS TO DEALER AND THE MILES DRIVEN BY THE DEALER). I HAVE A CASE REGISTERED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. BUT THEY ALSO TURNED ME DOWN. I CANNOT TAKE IN ANY MORE PAIN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE (HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L) AND WAS ALSO ISSUED A STOP OF SALE. INSPITE OF ALL THESE I WAS SOLD THE VEHICLE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
