2016 HONDA CIVIC. PROBLEM WITH AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING HOT AIR BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. I TOOK TO THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BOTH CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR HAD LEAKS. CONDENSER IS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE COMPRESSOR WAS NOT COSTING IN EXCESS OF $1100 TO REPAIR. WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THEY ARE RECEIVING 3-4 VEHICLES PER WEEK WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

HONDA CIVIC, MODEL YEAR 2016 HAS DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM. IN SHOP 3X SINCE 2017 TO REPAIR A/C, ON 3X THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SYSTEM DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR. HONDA REPLACED THE CONDENSER AT NO CHARGE, BUT CHARGED $599.00 FOR NEW COMPRESSOR. I BELIEVE HONDA IS AWARE OF THEIR DEFECTIVE A/C SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON A WARM DAY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE STEERING BECOMES VERY NOTCHY WHEN GOING STRAIGHT. WHEN DRIVING, THERE IS CONSTANT MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO BE MADE TO GO STRAIGHT, HOWEVER, EACH TIME I TRY TO MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STUCK SO I AM SLIGHTLY DRIFTING LEFT OR RIGHT. TO REALIGN MYSELF, I HAVE TO JAR THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT TO GET IT OUT OF THIS STUCK POSITION WHICH CAUSES ME TO GO TOO FAR AND TOWARDS OTHER LANES. ESSENTIALLY I AM DRIVING ZIG ZAG THE ENTIRE TIME TRYING TO STAY IN A LANE.

2016 HONDA CIVIC EX STEERING WHEEL STICKY , STIFF & JERKY. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE LANE KEEPING ASSIST. THE POWER STEERING WORKS FINE FOR LARGE MOVEMENTS BUT FOR SUBTLE MOVEMENTS, IT WOULD CAUSE RESISTANCE AND JERK WHEN YOU ADD MORE FORCE TO TURN. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT MATTER WITH VEHICLE SPEED, STOPPED OR MOVING PRODUCES THE SAME RESULT AND ONLY REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE RUNNING. THIS ISSUE CAUSES JERKY LANE POSITION AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OVER CORRECTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE RESISTANCE MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CHANGE LANES, AS IT FEELS LIKE A FORCE IS ACTING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND IT TAKES MORE TO MAKE SUBTLE MOVEMENTS. PLEASE LOOK AT A VIDEO I FOUND FROM A FELLOW CIVIC OWNER. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM I AM TRYING TO DESCRIBE. FIND THE VIDEO AT HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/W5X_CAVHXMM. THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MADE THE VIDEO WAS ABLE TO GET WARRANTED WORK DONE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK. *TR

THE STEERING IS STICKING. WHEN DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE MINISCULE ROAD ADJUSTMENTS, THE STEERING STICKS AND TO CORRECT, THE WHEEL MAKES A JERK WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALL OF THE TIME, WHICH INCLUDES ANY SPEED. THIS STICKING OF THE WHEEL PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A BIT OVER A YEAR. I TOOK IT TO HONDA ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND NOW I AM HEARING TICKING NOISES WHEN MAKING NORMAL ROAD ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL AS TURNING. AGAIN, I AM VERY FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY. AS DOCUMENTATION FROM MANY 2016 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS IS EASILY AVAILABLE THROUGH VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS, I AM SUSPECTING THIS TO BE A MAJOR ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESOLVING. *TR

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY A/C STOPPED WORKING. IT ONLY BLOWS OUT LUKEWARM OR HOT AIR ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE ONE MUCH RESEARCH BEING AS THE CAR IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. IT SEEMS THAT HONDA HAS FAULTY CONDENSER AND/OR COMPRESSOR. *TR

OVER THE LAST YEAR MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC FELT LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG UNTIL IT DID IT WHEN MY HUSBAND DROVE IT. A FEW WEEKS AGO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND 2 DAYS LATER I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START IT FINALLY DID AND I MADE IT HOME. LATER THAT AFTERNOON I STARTED MY CAR AND MY CABIN FILLED WITH THE WORSE SMELL OF GAS AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER GAGGED. MY DIPSTICK FOR OIL SMELT I F GAS TOO. I GOOGLED THIS AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY CHECKED IT AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG BASICALLY BECAUSE IT DID NOT THROW A CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THUS BUT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE OFFERING A UPDATE BUT ONLY TO OWNERS BACK EAST IN COKD WEATHER STATES. WELL I KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND MY DEALER SAID I CANT GET UPDATE UNLESS THEY SEE THAT CODE. I CAN'T CONTACT HONDA DIRECTLY BECAUSE THEY ARE UNAVAILABLE I MAY LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT I LIVE IN T HE MOUNTAINS AND ITS COLD AND SNOWY HERE 6 TO 8 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR SO I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO THIS UPGRADE ALSO. BUT LOCAL DEALER CAN'T DO ANYTHING SO NOW I DRIVE IT AND CAUSE MORE HARM TO MY ENGINE I AM AWARE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON HONDA FIR THUS OIL DILUTION ISSUE AND B THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL. I WANT MY CAR FIXED. *TR

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC EX-T A/C RECENTLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT NEARLY $500 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEN THEY SAID THE COMPRESSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AND IT'LL COST OVER 2 GRAND. MY CAR NEARLY HAS 60K MILES AND THERE'S NO WAY THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD HAVE LEAKAGE. I TOOK GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. IF I KNOWN HONDA I'D PROBLEMS WITH A/C I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT HONDA. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALL. IT IS NOT A PLEASANT RIDE TO DRIVE IN THE HOT SUMMER WITHOUT A/C AND MY MOTHER IS OLD. THIS IS NOT GOOD. *TR

Steering, Wheels, Jun 11, 2020
STEERING BECOMES JERKY AND TENDS TO STICK AFTER DRIVING AROUND FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. RATHER THAN A SMOOTH TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT REQUIRES A BIT EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE STEER WHEEL TO MAKE EVEN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO MAKE A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO STAY IN MY LANE REQUIRES A BIT OF EXTRA FORCE TO FREE UP THE "STUCK" STEERING WHEEL BEFORE I MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT, BUT TO MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENT THE EXTRA FORCE REQUIRED TO FREE UP THE STUCK STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES CAUSES A MAJOR ADJUSTMENT LIKE DRIFTING INTO ANOTHER LANE. I'VE DETERMINED THAT THIS NORMALLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20-30 MINUTES. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. PURCHASED CAR NOV 2019 THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR I REALIZED IT WHILE TRAVELING FROM TEXAS TO ARKANSAS.HAD AN ALIGNMENT BOUGHT NEW TIRES THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. STILL DID HELP. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER IN 2016 CIVIC FAILED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. HONDA COVERED THE CONDENSER BUT CHARGE FULL RACK TO REPLACE A CONNECTING HOSE, $450. NOW JUNE OF 2020 SAME ISSUE WHERE A/C IS BLOWING HOT AIR. HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR NEED TO REPLACED. CONDENSER IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1600. THESE PARTS ARE ALL FAULTY NEED TO BE COVERED. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2018 AS A CPO FROM HONDA DEALER. CAR HAS UNDER 63K MILES. *TR

A/C QUIT WORKING AT 30,000 MILES ONE YEAR OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER DIAGNOSED COMPRESSOR BEARING FAILURE - NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR DEFECTIVE CONDENSERS. COST TO REPAIR: $2,000 + THIS IS BOTH DANGEROUS DUE TO INOPERATIVE DEFROST/DEFOGGING AS WELL AS RISKING PASSENGER OVERHEATING IN EXTREME WEATHER - ESPECIALLY THOSE OF US WHO ARE SENIORS. *TR

Engine, Jun 7, 2020
THIS CAR HAS THE INFAMOUS 1.5 LITER TURBOCHARGED EARTH DREAMS ENGINE FROM HONDA. EVEN AFTER THE PRODUCT UPDATE APPLIED TO THE CAR ON JAN 2019 WHILE IT WAS OWNED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT STILL HAS A HIGH AMOUNT OF OIL DILUTION ISSUE WHICH WILL SEVERELY IMPACT THE CAR IN THE LONG RUN. PARKING THIS CAR IN A GARAGE AFTER A DRIVE MAKES THE WHOLE GARAGE SMELL LIKE GAS. AND A POINT TO NOTE IS THAT IT'S SUMMER HERE IN OHIO NOW. AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND DRIVING A MERE DISTANCE OF 50 MILES ALREADY HAD DUMPED SO MUCH OF GAS INTO THE ENGINE THAT THE DIPSTICK HAD HIGH OIL LEVEL. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP RESULTED NO RESOLUTION AS THEY INSISTED THAT IT'S NORMAL. IT'S NOT NORMAL TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE ENGINE SO I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ON THIS CAR.

AC WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. DEALER CHARGED $280 TO RECHARGE AC WITH DYE. AFTER A MONTH, THEY INSPECTED THE AC AND FOUND THE EVAPORATOR AND CONDENSER LEAKING. CONDENSER IS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT, AND THEY QUOTED ME $1960 TO REPLACE IT. IT GETS VERY HOT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN AC DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. *TR

AS DESCRIBED BY MANY OTHER LISTED COMPLAINTS, MY CAR'S STEERING STICKS OCCASIONALLY WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN IT IS STUCK IT REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO DO MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT HEADING. THE EXTRA EFFORTS CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN MAKING MINOR STEERING CORRECTIONS. THIS ISSUE STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 AND I'VE COMPLAINED A FEW TIMES DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS BUT ALWAYS RECEIVE THE RESPONSE THAT THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. BY THE AMOUNT OF FILED COMPLAINTS AND LISTED COMMENTS ONLINE IT OBVIOUSLY IS AN ISSUE. WE LOVE OUR HONDA CIVIC BUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE AMOUNT OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ALONE HAS CONVINCED ME TO NEVER BUY A CIVIC AGAIN. WE JUST RETURNED FROM A ROAD TRIP OF OVER 3100 MILES AND IT NEARLY DROVE ME NUTS SINCE IT CAUSED JERKY RECOVERIES DURING PROBABLY WELL MORE THAN 2500 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE DATE PROVIDED BELOW IS THE FIRST DAY OF OUR ROAD TRIP. AGAIN, THIS ISN'T A NEW ISSUE WITH THIS CAR...IT'S BEEN GOING ON NEARLY NON-STOP WITH DRIVING OVER 35-40 MPH SINCE 2016. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING GETS "STUCK" AND REQUIRES EXTRA EFFORT TO TURN CAUSING ABRUPT MOVEMENTS. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS. THIS ISSUE STARTS AFTER THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT DOES NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IS TO MANUALLY PULL OUT THE KEY FROM THE KEY FOP AND INSERT IT INTO THE DOOR OR OPEN IT UP FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CURRENT KEY FOPS BECAUSE THIS WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN 2 NEW KEY FOPS, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS CAN BE A HUGE ISSUE WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCESS THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND CAN'T EVEN GET INTO THE VEHICLE PROMPTLY. *TR

STARTED TO NOTICE SLIGHT STIFFNESS WITH NO VEERING IN STEERING ON SHORT COMMUTES TO WORK GOING HWY SPEED. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE LONGER TRIPS AND HIGHER SPEEDS, I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH STEERING SIGNIFICANTLY! THE STEERING IS NO LONGER HAVE THE GLIDING CONTROL LIKE NORMAL. NOW IT SEEMS MORE STIFF LIKE STICKING WHILE CONTROLLING THE STEERING WHEEL. WENT FROM A GLIDE STEER TO FORCEFULLY HAVING TO JERK STEERING BACK TO CONTROL IT (SIMILAR TO A STICKY BUTTON) BUT IT'S THE DARN STEERING WHEEL. SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO START HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ALL MAINTENANCE KEPT UP TO DATE IS A BIG ISSUE! THIS REALLY SUCKS AND I HAVE SEEN HOW MUCH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COST. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE' ON A BROAD SCALE (FEWER MILES AND HIGHER MILES HONDA) THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. NOT A CONSUMER OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE!
