2016 Honda Civic

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 HONDA EX-T DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED LIGHTING UP -EMMISION, EPS, BRAKE HOLD, ETC THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO" LIMP MODE" WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM TOLD THIS CAUSED A TURBO PROBLEM AND THE TURBO WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IT SEEMS WITH OUT HONDA ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN WITH A NEW TURBO. I AM UNSURE IF THE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS FOR PROBLEMS THAT DID NOT EXIST CAUSED THE TURBO PROBLEMS BUT IT SEEMS LIKELY. SINCE WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. LUCKILY I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE AUTOMATIC DRASTIC DECLINE WITH OUT BREAKING WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. HAD THE HIGHWAY BEEN BUSY THIS CERTAINLY WOULD OF RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL IS CATCHING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR IN THE LANE. WHEN IT RELEASES, YOU HAVE TO CORRECT THE STEERING QUICKLY IN ORDER TO STAY IN THE LANE. THIS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO TIMES WHEN THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK ESPECIALLY WHEN ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AND THERE IS AN ONCOMING CAR IN THE OTHER LANE.

RANDOMLY HEARD A POP, AND THE AC STOPPED WORKING. TOOK CAR TO A DEALERSHIP THAT TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE. AFTER LEAVING HONDA I CALLED BACK TO INQUIRE MORE INFORMATION, HONDA REFUSED TO SHOW ME THE ISSUE BUT TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $200 FOR A DIAGNOSIS FEE. SOMETHING SEEMED WRONG. CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CALLED HONDA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT FOR A SECOND OPINION ELSEWHERE. THEY KNEW ABOUT THE AC ISSUES AND SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EXCEPT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF HIGH MILEAGE. WITHOUT THE AC THE DEFOGGER DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. NOT SURE HOW TO GET HONDA TO RECALL THIS BUT IT SEEMS THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF AC UNITS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN CARS. IF SOMEONE DIES ON THE ROADWAY BECAUSE OF A VISIBILITY ISSUE, HONDA WILL HAVE A MAJOR LAWSUIT AHEAD OF THEM. HELP US HONDA OWNERS GET THE RECALL WE DESERVE SO WE CAN SAFELY DRIVE THE CARS WE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NOT OKAY!

IN THE SUMMER OF 2018, WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ON, IT WAS BLOWING WARM AIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE DISCHARGING COLD AIR. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED US THERE WAS A LEAK. A DYE WAS ADDED TO THE RECHARGED REFRIGERANT. EARLY THIS MONTH, APRIL, THE AC WASN'T PROVIDED ANY COOLING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR ALONG WITH REFRIGERANT PIPING WAS LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE STEERING STARTED 'STICKING' IN PLACE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S A CATCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TRY TO MAINTAIN A LANE AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND THEN LEFT TO STAY IN A LANE. YOU HAVE TO FORCEFULLY OVERCOME THIS STICKING RESISTANCE WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO VEER TOWARD THE OTHER LANE AND THIS PROCESS IS CONTINUALLY REPEATED AS YOU DRIVE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO WANT TO PUSH ME INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON 2 LANE ROADS. SURPRISED THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE I SEE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON NHTSB AND IN ONLINE HONDA FORUMS, THE COMMON RESOLUTION SEEMS TO BE REPLACEMENT OF FACTORY DEFECTIVE EPS HARDWARE.
