2016 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND SEIZED. THE CONTACT CALLED RICK CASE HONDA (LOCATED AT 15700 RICK CASE HONDA WAY, DAVIE, FL 33331, (954) 388-1035) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THE AC KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE TO HAVE THE COMPRESSOR REPLACE TWICE AND 2 OTHER PARTS REPLACED TWICE. THE FREON STARTS TO BLOW OUT OF THE VENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS I ALWAYS HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME. WE ALWAYS HAVE INFECTIONS THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO BREATHINNG IN THIS FREON. EVERY YEAR IT GETS FIXED IN THE SUMMER. IT WORKS FINE FOR OYR 2 SUMMER MONTHS THEN I DONT HAVE TO USE IT THAT OFTEN BUT AS SOON AS THE HEAT ROLLS UP AGAIN I TAKE IT IN FOR A CHECK AND IT HAS NO FREON LEFT.

AS I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT THEY TRIED TO SAY IT ''TWAS BAD TIRES THEY REPLACED IT WHEN IT WAS REALLY THE WHEEL BEARINGS. AND I'M IN FINANCE WITH NO BACKGROUND IN CAR MECHANICS AND I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AS SOON AS I DROVE OF THE LOT. AND THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN BUT SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS AND MECHANICS SAID IT WASN'T OBVIOUS SO THEY FIXED IT. I THEN TOLD THEM BEFOREHAND I GOT THE VEHICLE PURCHASED THAT I REQUIRED A STATE INSPECTION TO MAKE SURE IT FELL UNDER THE INSPECTION RULES OF TEXAS AND THEY SWORE AND SIGNED OFF ON PAPERWORK THAT THIS WAS DONE ON TWO SEPARATE WORK FORMS. WELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD AS MY HORN DIDN'T FUNCTION AT ALL AFTER THEY HAD SWORN THEY HAD DONE TWO INSPECTIONS AT THIS POINT AND I HAVE THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD NO DROVE OFF IN THE SHOULDER AND THE. I COME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRY TO SAY IT WASN'T THEM AND THAT IT COULD HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON ITS OWN WHICH I FIND VERY SUSPICIOUS. THEY THEN THREATENED TO NOT FIX MY CAR WHEN I SAID THREE NEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AS THEY ARE NOT LIVING UP TO THE STANDARDS SET DORTRH. I ALSO HAD THE CAR STEREO AND ELECTRONICS GO WILD AND THEY WOULDN'T STOP URNINF ON MUSIC AND TURNING IT TO MAX VOLUME AND IT WOULDN'T STOP TIL I SHUT THE CAR OF WHIC IS SUPER DISTRACTING WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE.

SO I JUST BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA CIVIC LX 2.0 USED TODAY WITH 26,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE HOME I NOTICED THE STEERING FELT LIKE IT WAS STICKING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH. IT FELT NOTCHY AND STICKY LIKE I HAD TO USE A LITTLE FORCE TO START BEING ABLE TO STEER AGAIN. WHICH CAUSES YOU TO OVERCORRECT A BIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE'S LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.. THE SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE A NEW STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY...

UPON RETURN TO CAR AFTER LEAVING CAR LOCKED, FOUR WINDOWS ARE FOUND OPEN ALL THE WAY WHILE SHOPPING, PARKED IN PARKING LOT OR PARKED AT HOME OR ELSEWHERE, WHEN OPENING WINDOWS FROM INSIDE, GLASS GOES UP/DOWN REPEATEDLY, TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CAR IS UNSAFE, SUBJECT TO THEFT, OR INTERIOR DAMAGE BY THE ELEMENTS-RAIN, SNOW, ETC. SERIOUS ELECTRICAL/CONTROL PROBLEMS. TRUNK PROBLEM WAS REPORTED EARLIER TO NHTSA SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE DATE OF 3/05/2019 FROM DEALER. DEALER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, THEY QUICKLY CHECKED & FOUND NOTHING WRONG. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN INTERSTATE, COUNTY ROADS, LOCAL STREETS, AT DIFFERENT DATES, ETC. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS PULLING INTO HIS DRIVEWAY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALL HONDA VIRGINIA BEACH (LOCATED AT 3516 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452, (877) 475-0724), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A CASE WOULD BE OPENED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,256.

WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO GET A STICKING FEELING WHEN TRYING TO MAKE SMALL MOVEMENTS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVERCORRECT YOUR STEERING AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN POTENTIALLY RUN INTO ANOTHER PERSON OR OBJECT. YOU FEEL A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS MOST NOTABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO WORSEN THE MORE YOU DRIVE. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 32000 MILES ON IT.
