2016 Honda Civic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW MOMENTS. AFTER THE LIGHT WENT OUT, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE INFORMATION CENTER IN THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY FLICKER AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS SOFTWARE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,158.

SIR/MA'AM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS SOMEWHAT SAFETY PROBLEM THAT MANY CIVIC HAVE. HONDA CIVIC HAS A CENTER TOUCH SCREEN THAT CONTROLS RADIO, TEMPERATURE AND IMPORTANTLY SHOWS REAR VIEW CAMERA AND RIGHT SIDE CAMERA. TODAY THE CENTER SCREEN DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON AND WASN'T ABLE TO SEE AN OBJECT REAR AND UNDERNEATH OF MY CAR DUE TO THE SCREEN NOT TURNED ON. IT IS KNOWN ISSUE FOR CIVIC COMMUNITY. I WISH THAT NHTSA TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, A SMALL TREE BRANCH FELL ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND IT BECAME SHATTERED. THE CONTACT HAD SMALL PIECES OF GLASS ON HER SKIN, BUT WAS UNINJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

ON MAY 09, 2017 I WAS REAR ENDED WHILE SITTING STILL BY A CAR TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND MY FACE WAS PROJECTED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. DURING THE IMPACT MY SEATBELT DIDN'T SEEM TO ACTIVATE AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED YET BUT I WOULD GUESS IT TO BE TOTALED DUE TO THE FRONT AND REAR IMPACT DAMAGE. EVERYONE I'VE SPOKE TO INCLUDING THE POLICE OFFICER AND WRECKER SERVICE WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I FEEL VERY LUCKY BUT DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S SAFETY FEATURES.

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND HIT A BUMP THAT WAS COVERED WITH WATER DUE TO RAIN. DID NOT HIT THE FRONT BUMPER BUT HAD A SMALL DAMAGE IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND SEVERELY INJURED THE DRIVER. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED UNDER CONDITIONS FOR WHICH THEY WERE NOT INTENDED TO DEPLOY ...UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF UPDATED 10/24/2017*JS

I PRESSED MY AUTOMATIC START KEY FROM THE WINDOW OF THE BUILDING , WHILE I WAS GETTING READY ,(WASHING MY FACE, BRUSHING TEETH) AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS LATER I HEARD THE SOUND OF THE ALARM , WHICH WOULD USUALLY TURN ON IF THERE IS A HIT OR IMPACT OR LOUD SOUND . WHEN I CAME DOWNSTAIRS, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER . I NOTICED THE FRONT WINDOW WAS SHATTERED , I FIGURED MAYBE ONE THE NEIGHBORS WAS PLAYING BALL AND HIT MY WINDOW, WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR I REALIZED THERE WAS A FIRE INSIDE COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE DASHBOARD, EVERYTHING WAS MELTED AND MY DASHBOARD WAS ALSO SUNK IN. I CHECKED IF THERE WAS AN OUTLET CONNECTED OR USB PORTS AND DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP AND ONLY ADVICE THAT WAS GIVEN WAS TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE , THEY ALSO ADDED THEY WOULD NOT BE TAKING CARE OF ANY DAMAGES IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND ALSO DID NOT KNOW WHY, NOR WERE EVEN INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING. THE CAR WAS IN COMPLETE PARK MODE, AND OFF OVERNIGHT. NO ONE DESERVES TO TAKE THEIR SIBLINGS TO SCHOOL AND INSTEAD BE WELCOMED BY A MALFUNCTIONING DEFECTIVE 2016 YEAR VEHICLE.
