2016 Honda Civic

CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW. STEERING HAS STARTED STICKING. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON INTERSTATE IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S A CATCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TRY TO MAINTAIN LANE AND HAVE TO TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH THE "CATCH" FEEL WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK. IT HASN'T GOTTEN TO WHERE IT IS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENING. ON MORE CURVING ROADS THE STEERING SEEMS TO CATCH, AND STICK, WHICH CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AND GET THE WHEEL THROUGH THE "CATCH" IN ORDER TO STAY ON THE ROAD WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK EVERY TIME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE SMOOTH STEERING AND FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING AT THE EXTENT IT IS NOW WHICH IS CAUSING A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IS VERY DISTURBING. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS.

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.

AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 5+ MINUTES, THE STEERING HAS A CATCH IN IT. EVEN GOING AROUND TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK IN THE POSITION (I CAN TAKE MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AND IT STAYS IN THE SAME TURNING POSITION IT'S IN) MAKING ME USE SMALL FORCE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE STRAIGHT POSITION WHEN IT SHOULD TURN BACK NATURALLY. IT DOES THE SAME THING ON STRAIGHT ROADS LIKE AN INTERSTATE. IT MAKES KEEPING LANE CONTROL DIFFICULT WHEN THE VEHICLE MAY VEAR TO A CERTAIN SIDE. CAUSING THE CAR TO BE 'JERKY'

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT IMPACT COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED MINOR PAIN, BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START BEING STICKY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. . THE POWER STEERING WORKED FINE BUT FOR SUBTLE MOVEMENTS, IT WOULD CAUSE RESISTANCE. THIS WAS MOST FREQUENT WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOTICE THAT THE WHEEL TENDS TO STICK AFTER IT'S BEEN STRAIGHT FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND I NEED TO APPLY MORE FORCE TO MAKE A SMALL ADJUSTMENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I DO NOT HAVE THE LKAS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME. PARKED CAR IN GARAGE ,AFTER FEW HOURS TRIED TO TURN ON.WHEN WE TRY TO START IT WONTS, BUT THE SIGN POPS UP SAYING ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE ERROR..CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE.LUCKY CAR WAS IN GARAGE WHEN BOTH INCIDENT HAPPENED.TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE .TODAY WE PICKED IT UP FOUND DFTC U3OOO-49,ECU INTERNAL CIRCUIT FAILURE.THEY PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE.THEY SAID IT IS OK THIS TIME.CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM BE DEALT? MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND SHE IS MOVING TO COLLEGE IN AUGUST AND WILL NEED A CAR.HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS DEALT QUICKLY.IF NOT WILL NEED TO REPLACE ANOTHER CAR.I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO USE.

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.
