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.

THIS CAR'S HORN REALLY CAN NOT BE HEARD BY ANOTHER DRIVER. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T IMAGINE A COMPLAINT HAS NOT BEEN FILED. IT REALLY IS DANGEROUS.

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.

TRUNK SPONTANEOUSLY OPENS. IT HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, CONTACTED HONDA'S HEADQUARTERS. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE SO CANNOT FIX IT. THERE ARE OTHERS ON THE CIVIC ONLINE FORUM WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE WHERE I CANNOT KEEP ANYTHING IN MY TRUNK. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. ONE NIGHT AFTER I GOT HOME, I WENT BACK OUT TO MY CAR AND THE TRUNK WAS OPENED. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I GO OUT TO MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK AND MY TRUNK IS OPEN. I KEEP THE KEYS AS FAR AWAY FROM THE CAR AS I CAN, I HANG THEM UP, BUT THEM IN THE BEDROOM AND IT DOES NOT GOOD--SO IT IS NOT THE SENSITIVITY OF THE KEY. I ALSO NOTICED MY GAS TANK HATCH OPENS AFTER I FILL THE TANK. SEE THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE TO HONDA DATED TODAY.

MY WIFE GETS 'SICK' AFTER RIDING IN SAID CAR. WE SUSPECT THAT THE CAR IS EMITTING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCS) TO WHICH SHE IS SENSITIVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PHENOMENON SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUGUST 2016 (IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2017).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND CRACKED IT RIGHT WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED. THERE IS NO IMPACTED POINT IN THE GLASS JUST THE SPLINTERING OF THE GLASS. SAFELITE HAD TO MAKE A SMALL HOLE JUST TO DO THE REPAIR. IS THIS WINDSHIELD DEFECTIVE? IT HAPPEN TO MY SON'S GIRLFRIEND'S 2017 HONDA CIVIC AS WELL. WE BOTH JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS INFERIOR OR DEFECTIVE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC SEDAN TOURING HAS HAD NAVIGATION SYSTEM/GPS PROBLEMS FROM DAY TWO: - DOES NOT ACQUIRE SATELLITE DATA / DOES NOT CONNECT TO SATELLITE - NAVIGATION SYSTEM SHOWING THE CAR LOCATION COMPLETELY WRONG, SOMETIMES BY A MILE - NAVIGATION SYSTEM REBOOTING ITSELF WHILE DRIVING - CAR SYMBOL IS WIGGLING ALL OVER THE MAP WHILE DRIVING THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN, ON A TWO-LANE STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY, DAY OR NIGHT. MORE THAN 10 INSTANCES CAUGHT ON VIDEO AND PICTURES. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT ENDANGERED CAR PASSENGERS' SAFETY BY SHOWING WRONG INFORMATION AND GIVING WRONG DIRECTIONS IN UNFAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS WHERE GPS/NAVIGATION SYSTEM WERE NEEDED. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR: FIRST TIME A NAVIGATION SOFTWARE "RESET" WAS PERFORMED, SECOND TIME WAS KEPT FOR 9 DAYS AND THE HMI HEAD WAS REPLACED, THIRD TIME WAS KEPT FOR 6 DAYS AND THE ANTENNA WAS REPLACED. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER MORE THAN 21 DAYS OF DRAGGING THEIR FEET THE SELLING DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AGAIN, MONDAY JAN. 16TH. THE CAR RIGHT NOW HAS LESS THAN 4,500 MILES.

TODAY I PURCHASED A NEW (DEMO/4,900+ MILES) 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE THE SALESMAN WAS DEMONSTRATING HOW TO USE THE PHONE/CONNECTIVITY FEATURES IT WAS DISCOVERED THE PHONE SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS ADVISED TO TRY IT AGAIN WHEN I DROVE OFF THE LOT TO TAKE MY BRAND NEW CAR HOME AND IT MAY WORK WHEN I GOT AWAY FROM THE LOT. IT DID NOT. THE PHONE IS NON WORKING AND THE VOICE RECOGNITION IS USELESS.

DRIVING THE CAR HOME AT 7 PM AND HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT. NO OTHER VEHICLES IN SITE AND ON A ROAD WHERE THERE ARE NO HOMES JUST OPEN FIELDS. PULLED OVER TO FIND THE SUNROOF HAD A HUGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND THE REST OF THE GLASS THAT WAS STILL TACT WAS IN TINY PIECES LIKE AND LOOKED LIKE A SPIDER WEB. THE GLASS WAS PROTRUDING UPWARD LIKE IT HAD PRESSURE FROM THE INSIDE. HAD THE THE VISOR FOR THE SUNROOF BEEN OPEN IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN THIS GLASS WOULD HAVE FALLEN DIRECTLY INTO OUR EYES POSSIBLY CAUSING VISION PROBLEMS. I CALLED HONDA CARE AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SAID BY THE TIME THE CAR GOT TO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE REPAIRED IT HAD VERY LITTLE GLASS LEFT IN IT. THIS CAR HAS UNDER 2500 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NOT EVEN PAID THE FIRST NOTE.

PURCHASED A NEW 2016 CIVIC TOURING IN MAY 2016. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS I WAS HAVING SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS SCREENS GOING BLACK, REBOOTING, AND STEREO NOT WORKING. I WOULD GET A FAILURE WARNING ON THE DASH ONCE IN AWHILE (DIFFERENT EACH TIME). CAR FAILED TO START ON JULY 26TH 2016. ALL SCREENS WERE FLASHING ERROR MESSAGES. CAR WOULD NOT START. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED. DEALER CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEM THIS PROBLEM. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME SMALL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR EVERY SO OFTEN. UNTIL, THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP BY ITSELF AND COMPUTER TOOK 100% CONTROL OF THE CAR. I COULDN'T STEER, ACCELERATE, OR CONTROL THE CAR AT ALL. I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED IN AN INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NOT A CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP I REGAINED CONTROL AGAIN AND THE CAR OPERATED NORMAL. SOON AFTER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR I RECEIVED THE ALL THE ERROR CODES AGAIN AND IT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I AGAIN CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT TOWED. DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHY THE CAR SELF BRAKED AND CANNOT REPLICATE IT. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE# WITH HONDA OF AMERICA. I HAVE TOLD BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE BOTH SCARED FOR THEIR SAFETY TO DRIVE IT. NO ONE FROM MY FAMILY INCLUDING MYSELF WILL BE DRIVING THE CAR EVER AGAIN, NOR CAN I SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. THEY NEED TO PURCHASE THE CAR BACK FROM ME AND FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS TO ENSURE NO ONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS HAPPENING AGAIN.

I LEASED THE HONDA CIVIC 2016 AT WOODLAND HILLS HONDA. IT WAS AFTER LEASING DATE, WITHIN 24-48 HOURS TIME, I RETURNED TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HONDA CIVIC 2016 DID NOT COME WITH A CD PLAYER AND ONLY OFFERED AN AUXILIARY CORD OUTLET TO WORK THE ENTIRE SOUND SYSTEM BY MY CELL PHONE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP ME WITH A NEW CAR UNLESS I WANTED TO PAY MORE MONEY BUT I COULD NOT GET A NEW CAR AT THE SAME PRICE. I ARGUED FOR MONTHS WITH THE DEALERSHIP THAT BEING FORCED TO WORK THE AUDIO SYSTEM AND RUN MY MAPS FOR NAVIGATION THROUGH MY CELL PHONE POSED A SERIOUS THREAT OF DISTRACTED DRIVING. THE CAR IS BUILT IN SUCH A WAY, THAT THE DRIVER IS ONLY GIVEN AN OPTION TO USE THE CELL PHONE TO OPERATE AUDIO AND NAVIGATION. THE WAY THAT THE CAR IS BUILT, WITHOUT THE CD PLAYER, AND ONLY AN AUXILIARY CORD TO PLUG INTO MY PHONE TO WORK THE SOUND SYSTEM INTERFACE CONFLICTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA ANTI-TEXTING LAW VC 23123.5. BEING FORCED TO WORK MY SOUND SYSTEM AND MAPS FOR NAVIGATION ON MY CELL PHONE IS THE SAME SPIRIT AS TO WHAT AND WHY THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. IT IS DISTRACTED DRIVING. SALESMEN ARE NOT CLEARLY EXPLAINING THAT YOU ARE BUYING A CAR WITH NO CD PLAYER AND YOU NEED TO WORK YOUR MUSIC FROM YOUR CELL PHONE. THERE IS ALSO MORE CONFUSION AT THE POINT OF SALE BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER CARS THAT COME WITH BOTH THE AUX CORD AND ALSO THE CD PLAYER SUCH AS THE HONDA ACCORD 2016 PILOT FOR EXAMPLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I BELIEVED I WAS BUYING A CAR WITH BOTH THE AUX CORD AND THE CD PLAYER. LATER, IS WHEN I LEARNED, I LEASED THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY THE AUX CORD OPTION. I REQUESTED TO END MY CONTRACT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS I BELIEVED THE CAR WAS A POLICE MAGNET. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR THAT MAKES ME DO SOMETHING TO ATTRACT OFFICERS. THIS IS A SAFETY AND LEGAL CONCERN. TICKETED ON 8/31/16.

PEBBLE IN 45 MPH ZONE NC STATE 87 WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON AUGUST 27, 2016. HONDA PARTS HAS A WEB PAGE THREAD. THIS PROBLEM WITH CRACKED WINDSHIELDS IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH THIS MODEL HONDA CIVIC X. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE; SINCE THE WINDSHIELDS HAVE NOT HELD UP IN A 45 MPH AND 60 MPH POSTED SPEEDS IN BOTH SITUATIONS. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE ALSO IN SHORT SUPPLY. HAD TO WAIT FIVE WEEKS FOR THE SECOND ONE. HAVE ORDERED MY THIRD WINDSHIELD TODAY. HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOTH WINDSHIELDS BUT HAD SOME DIFFICULTY IN UPLOADING THEM TO THIS PAGE.

CAR PURCHASED IN MAY , WITH 3700 K HAS HAD 3 ISSUES: GETTING READY TO BACK UP OUT OF DRIVEWAY - THE BACKUP SCREEN WAS DIMINISHED TO A SMALL SLIVER ACROSS THE TOP OF ENTIRE SCREEN WITH THE BALANCE OF SCREEN BLACK. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO BE FIXED. WHEN I DROVE AWAY, ERROR MESSAGES, "TIRE PRESSURE LOW, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM AND ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM." TOK IT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE TECHNICIAN FAILED TO FORGOT TO ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO RUN THRU THE ENTIRE CYCLE BEFORE RETURNING THE CAR TO ME. JUST HAD PROBLEM WITH THE A/C. CAR WOULD BLOW HOT AIR AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING - WAS TOLD HOSE WAS COLLASPING KEEPING COLD AIR FROM COMING OUT. HOSE WAS REPLACED- DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SAME ISSUE AFTER 15 MINS OF DRIVING.

THE COVER FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR WINDOW DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED TO MY 2016 CIVIC COUPE. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT LIMITS MY VISIBILITY IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. I BRING MY NEW CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOUR TIME SO FAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND STILL NOT FIX. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT COVER BUT THE NEW PART DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED EITHER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED FOR A BETTER ATTACHMENT TO THE REAR WINDOW . I DO HOPE AT THIS POINT THAT HONDA WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM SOON

CERTAIN HONDA CIVIC'S HAVE APPLE'S CARPLAY INSTALLED, THROUGH THE IOS IPHONE MOBILE PHONE PLATFORM. WHEN ENABLED, OR PLUGGED INTO THE CAR, NAVIGATION SUPPORT PROVIDED BY APPLE'S MAPS APPLICATION GOES INTO 'DAY MODE' WHILE AT NIGHT. THIS CREATES A HUGE AMOUNT OF BRIGHTNESS IN THE CAR AND BLINDS THE DRIVER WITH BRIGHTNESS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I CAN EASILY SEE HOW ACCIDENTS CAN BE TRIGGERED DUE TO BLINDING INTERIOR LIGHT DUE TO THE APPLE MAPS (THROUGH CARPLAY) NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ERROR, OR POOR DESIGN BY APPLE/HONDA. I BELIEVE THAT CARPLAY'S NAVIGATION FUNCTION IS A DANGER TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BECAUSE HAVING HUGE AMOUNTS OF SUDDEN BRIGHTNESS CAUSES DISTRACTION AND MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH VISION.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY THROWN ERRORS WITH WARNINGS TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM. IN BOTH CASES HONDA INSTALLED AN UPDATED VSA MODULATOR THEY CLAIMED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. NOT THE LOCAL DEALER DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO SEE THE VEHICLE AS THEY TELL ME THEIR IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO FOR US. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE EMAILED HONDA CORPORATE TO HAVE A REGIONAL REP CONTACT US. IT HAS BEEN 4 DAYS SINCE. THEY SAY THE VEHICLE IS SAFE, BUT YET THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE VEHICLE HAS A DEFECT THEY CANNOT CORRECT, AND MY CAR IS NOT ALONE. PLEASE LOOK AT THESE TWO SITES TO SEE EXAMPLES: HTTP://HONDACIVICPROBLEMS.COM AND HTTP://WWW.CIVICX.COM/THREADS/TPMS-ABS-BRAKE-SYSTEM-ACC-FREAK-OUT.1002/ EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION. EACH TIME THE ERROR MESSAGES APPEAR AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE WARNINGS INSTRUCT YOU NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ERRORS INCLUDE: CMBS PROBLEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, TIRE PRESSURE LOW, AND CHARGING SYSTEM PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L ON 2/17. ON 2/24, THE CAR BROKE DOWN MIDWAY (MILES DRIVEN 88). WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ALL KINDS OF VIDEO WARNING MESSAGES LIKE PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION, BRAKING SYSTEM, STEERING ETC. STARTED APPEARING ON THE CENTER DISPLAY WERE THE VEHICLE'S SPEED GETS DISPLAYED(PART OF THE TACHOMETER / SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY). I HAD TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NEXT DAY THE DEALER RETURNED THE VEHICLE SAYING THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. FROM THAT DAY ONWARDS, I STARTED FACING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE FAILING TO ACCELERATE WHICH I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE. ON 2/26 (AT SPEED OF 62 MPH) AND AGAIN ON 3/4 (AT SPEED OF 46), WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION INSPITE OF ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. NOW I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 3/4 AND IT IS WITH THE DEALER FOR THE PAST 6 DAYS. TODAY (3/10), THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT FEELING SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO ANY ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE ASKED ME TO TAKE BACK THE UNSAFE VEHICLE OR TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE AS AN USED VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT, I AM LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO BEAR THE LOSS AND TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 200 MILES (MOST OF THE MILES ADDED DUE MY TRIPS TO DEALER AND THE MILES DRIVEN BY THE DEALER). I HAVE A CASE REGISTERED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. BUT THEY ALSO TURNED ME DOWN. I CANNOT TAKE IN ANY MORE PAIN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE (HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L) AND WAS ALSO ISSUED A STOP OF SALE. INSPITE OF ALL THESE I WAS SOLD THE VEHICLE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
