2016 Honda Civic

THE HIGH-MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT COVER, MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDOW, HAS DETACHED ITSELF FROM THE WINDOW. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE PLASTIC COVER BLOCKING IMPORTANT VISUAL INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. IN ADDITION, RED LIGHT FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE REAR WINDOW, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. I REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (ROBERTS HONDA IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA) WHO SAID THAT "ALL CIVIC COUPES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, HONDA AMERICA IS AWARE, BUT HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX"

THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED. THE CAR WAS PARKED, IGNITION TURNED OFF, EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED, AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. WHEN I RETURNED, THE CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A ROAD AND SLAMMED INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NO INJURIES RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. POLICE REPORT IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. WE FOUND ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED IN MID-OCTOBER BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED/CONTACTED YET.

ME AN MY BOYFRIEND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE OF OUR VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AT THE LAST SECOND WHEN THE ENGINE ACTUALLY STOPPED. WE WERE STILL IN A DANGEROUS AREA AND I COULDN'T EVEN DESCRIBE TO AAA WHERE WERE. FORTUNATELY A TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS PASSING BY AND SAW US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED TO HELP US. JUST TO GIVE SOME BACK STORY MY BOYFRIEND WAS READING AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE PISTON RING/CLIP AFFECTING THE ENGINE ON THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS AND WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE CAR INSPECTED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. LATER ON WARNING LIGHTS IN THE CAR STARTED TO TURN ON INCLUDED THE BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAD A WORKER AT AUTOZONE CHECK THE LIGHTS WITH ONE OF THEIR TOOLS AND WERE TOLD THE LIGHTS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF IN THE INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE. WE WENT BACK TWICE SPEAKING TO THE MANAGER AND SERVICE TEAM AND WERE TURNED AWAY WITH A LIST OF ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON IN THE VEHICLE WITH NO REMEDY TO FIX ANY OF THE ISSUES. WHEN WE BROUGHT UP THE RECALL AGAIN WE WERE TOLD OUR CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER IT. BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE I AND MY BOYFRIEND COULD AVE LOST OUR LIVES IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. WE BOUGHT THE CAR MAY 2016 AND THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FEBRUARY 2016 AND WAS STILL OPEN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE CONSIDERING THE PARTS TO FIX THE PISTON PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SUMMER. SO WE WERE SOLD A CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. NOW I AM STRANDED WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS SUSTAINED DAMAGE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I NO LONGER WANT THIS FAULTY AND UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND I DO NOT TRUST HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE NEED YOUR HELP NHTSA!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE STATIONARY, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN THE CONTACT AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNDERGOING PHYSICAL THERAPY. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. HONDA WOULD NOT REPLACE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

CAR STALLS; WITH NO WARNING JUST TURNS OFF THIS HAPPENS WITH NO RHYME OR REASON AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MANY OF WHICH IS NOT DOCUMENTED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TAKEN INTO A DEALER; I COULD NOT AFFORD A TOW. I HAVE NOW SIGNED UP FOR AAA AND HAD IT TOWED INTO A DEALER THIS LAST OCCURRENCE. DOCUMENTED WITH DEALERSHIPS ON 5/12/16 CAR HAD 396 MILES ON IT; 6/3/16 CAR HAD 2722 MILES ON IT; 10/13/16 CAR HAD 10745 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE TIME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD IT HAPPEN TO THEM NINE TIMES BEFORE IT SUDDENLY STOPPED HAPPENING. HAPPENED GOING 75 MPH GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. HAPPENS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORP (CASE#05150093) AND ASKED FOR HELP BUT HAVE NOT HAD A RESOLUTION. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS RECREATED THE ISSUE (COPY OF SERVICE TICKET ATTACHED) THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO THEY TOLD MY SON TO COME GET IT AND DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN CALL THEM TO TOW IT BACK IN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND HE COULD LOSE HIS LIFE AND POTENTIALLY MANY OTHERS. PLEASE HELP. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SON OR ANY OTHER LIFE BE TAKEN BECAUSE HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS NOW THAT THE 3RD LIGHT BRAKE IN MY CAR STILL PENDING RESOLUTION. IT BLOCKS MY REAR VIEW AS IT IS HANGING 3 INCHES DOWN WITH THIS BLACK SQUARE 5 X 5 X 5 TO COVER TH LIGHT. I CAN'T DRIVER THIS CAR IN THE NIGHT BECAUSE ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVER IT DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE BOX. I AM STILL WAITING FOR FOR HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM

REAR HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT COMING OFF WINDSHIELD THE EVENING I TOOK DELIVERY OF VEHICLE. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER WHERE THEY TRIED TO REATTACH IT. THE REPAIR LASTED A DAY. THEY ORDERED A NEW ASSEMBLY AND TRIED TO ATTACH IT. THE ASSEMBLY WAS UNGLUED BEFORE I GOT HOME. IT HAS NOT YET COME FULLY OFF, BUT IT IS A DISTRACTION AND, WHEN USING THE BRAKES AT NIGHT, OBSCURES MY VISION THROUGH THE REAR WINDSHIELD. DEALER SAID THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AN ARE WAITING ON HONDA OF AMERICA TO COME UP WITH A REPAIR. VERY POOR ENGINEERING ON HONDA'S PART AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IF/WHEN THE THING COMES FULLY OFF. I WAS DRIVING HOME THE FIRST TIME I TOOK NOTICE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED IT THE SECOND TIME. I DON'T THINK MOVEMENT WAS A FACTOR, JUST POOR DESIGN AND ADHESION. *TR
