I HAVE A 2016 CIVIC LX 2 DOOR. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING FEELS VERY STRANGE. IT FEELS ALMOST NOTCHY OR STICKY LIKE THERE IS SOME SORT OF BIND OR SOMETHING. I'LL BE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND GO TO ADJUST FOR A CURVE IN THE ROAD AND FEEL RESISTANCE AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAVE TO USE SLIGHT FORCE TO OVERCOME IT RESULTING IN THE CAR TO OVERCORRECT AND JERK SIDEWAYS. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT SOME AND IT SEEMS OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ( HTTPS://WWW.CIVICX.COM/FORUM/THREADS/STEERING-IS-STIFF-AND-NOTCHY-FEELING.14767/ ) ( HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2016/STEERING/STEERING.SHTML ). FEELS DANGEROUS TO ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT GETS ANY WORSE. *TR

AFTER 30-60 MINUTES ON A DRIVE IN 70+ DEGREE WEATHER THE STEERING STARTS "STICKING". IT IS NOT SMOOTH AND RESULTS IN OVERCORRECTING. ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ATTENTION LAST SUMMER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD NOT BE FOUND BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS HERE COMMON ISSUE. NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WARMER TEMPS BROUGHT BACK THE ISSUE. NEEDS EPS RECALLED AND REPLACED.*DT *TR

STEERING BINDS FORCING DRIVER TO EXERT EXTRA FORCE CAUSING OVERSTEER. A CLUNKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM THE STEERING RACK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DETECTED DURING A DRIVE BETWEEN HOUSTON AND AUSTIN MAY 2019 AND WAS NOTICEABLE ONLY WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES AND HIGHER SPEEDS, IN PARTICULAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALER IN JUNE 2019 WHO IDENTIFIED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (40 MONTHS, 46K MILES), I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR WHICH THEY DISCOUNTED FROM $3,800 TO $900. I OPTED NOT TO MAKE THE REPAIR BECAUSE I BELIEVE HONDA WOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL AND SINCE THEN THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN WORSE, OCCURRING ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AT ANY SPEED WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 80F. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AS IT HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK ONE OR TWO TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE ORIGINALLY CAME OUT, BUT HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. LATEST PART NUMBER IS 53650-TBC-A22. HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I WILL BE REPAIRING AS IT IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME NOW AND I BELIEVE IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER ON DRIVER'S SIDE NOT COOLING/BLOWING WARM AIR. HONDA DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND SYSTEM SLIGHTLY LOW, AND FOUND AC COMPRESSOR IS LEAKING. COST TO REPAIR IS $1900.00. OUR 2016 HONDA CIVIC HAD 33K MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE COMPRESSOR LEAKING IS A COMMON PROBLEM! THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A CAR WITH 33K MILES ON IT!!! I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND EXPECT HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE COMPRESSOR/COOLING SYSTEM FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THIS SYSTEM HAS NOT LIVED UP TO THE REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF RELIABILITY OF HONDA CARS, AND THAT AN AC COMPRESSOR SHOULD LAST MORE THAN JUST A FEW YEARS WITH LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS WELL BEYOND WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! I AM DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET THAT HONDA SO FAR HAS NOT DONE THE RIGHT THING IN ADDRESSING A KNOWN DEFECT AND DOING RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF PANDEMIC WHEN MANY HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED OR FINANCIALLY IMPACTED. DO THE RIGHT THING HONDA!! COVER THIS REPAIR UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY!!! *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES THE STEERING STARTS "STICKING". IT IS NOT SMOOTH AND RESULTS IN OVERCORRECTING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO SORT OF UNSTICK IT TO KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON THE ROAD. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN ANY CAR BUT CAN SEE FROM REPORTS ON THE INTERNET THAT IT'S A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH HONDA CIVIC. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JAN 2020 AND HAVE ONLY DRIVE A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES SINCE THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 32,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

MY 2016 HONDA HAS BEGAN TO BLOWN HOT AIR THROUGH MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WHILE I'M DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BREATH.THIS BEGUN ON 4/2020 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO NORM REEVES HONDA IN THE CITY OF CERRITOS, CA AND THEY SAID THAT THE CONDENSOR IS LEAKING AS WELL AS THE EVAPORATOR. THE CONDENSORS THAT HONDA HAS BEEN USING ON THERE 2016 - 2018 HONDA CIVICS HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILING AND THAT IS WHY HONDA IS NOW EXTENDING THERE WARRANT OF THEM FOR AN EXTRA TWO YEARS HOWEVER HONDA ALSO KNOW THAT THE EVAPORATORS ARE DEFECTED ALSO. I HAVE SPOKE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY ARE AWARE OF MY PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO HELP. HONDA ALSO KNOWS THAT YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE CONDENSOR WITHOUT SERVICING THE EVAPORATOR AND THAT IS THE WAY THAT THEY AVOID HAVING TO REPAIR THE DEFECTED PART ON YOUR VEHICLE. TO REPLACE THE LEAKING EVAPORATOR, HONDA SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $1,609 AND EVEN THOUGH THIS DEFECTIVE PART WAS CAUSING ME BREATHING TROUBLE, THAT THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT COVERED IN THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY. IF HONDA HAD MADE ME AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THAT THE CAR IS PUMPING HOT AIR INTO THE VEHICLE EVEN WHILE TURNED OFF CAUSING BREATHING TROUBLE AS WELL A VISION TROUBLE FOR ANY DRIVER IN THE CAR. PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN. THANK YOU CELL [XXX] CELL [XXX] EMAIL : [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2016 AC STOPPED WORKING IN SEPTEMBER 2019. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2019 WITH ONLY 23K MILES ON IT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN NOVEMBER 2019 ABOUT A FACTORY DEFECT CONCERNING THE AC. WE TOOK IT IN AND WAS CHARGED OVER $400 FOR A LEAK TEST. NO LEAK WAS FOUND, THEY PUT IN SOME DYE AND NOW TODAY ON MAY 12TH, 2020 THE AC IS BLOWING WARM AIR AGAIN. NOW I'M DOING RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE HONDA STEPS UP WHEN TAKE IT IN TOMORROW. *TR

AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 26,000 MILES AND COST $1200 AT THE DEALER. THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. I LIVE IN FLORIDA SO THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN OR ELDERLY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE DAY ONE AND RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAIN AND TAKE CARE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAN AT THE DEALER SAID THE CONDENSER IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR. A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS THAT 2016 HONDA CIVICS HAVE MASSIVE NUMBERS OF BOTH CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR FAILURES, LEAKING FREON INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PART OF HONDA. *TR

STEERING STIFFENS UP VEERS, FEELS LOCKED, AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO CORRECT CAUSING A SWAY INTO AN ADJACENT LANE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN 20-30 MINS AND SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWN THIS IS A COMMON EPS FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RACK IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN, AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, AND SHOULD NOT FAIL SO EARLY IN ITS LIFE. REQUEST NHTSA REQUIRE HONDA TO RECALL OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND KEPT UP ON MAINTENANCE; THE LAST MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED IN MARCH 2020. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET (2-WAY STREET) AND STARTED HEARING A CLICKING NOISE AND SMELLED SMOKE. THE FRONT PASSENGER THEN NOTICED FLAMES OUTSIDE OF HIS WINDOW. I TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BUT THE BREAKS WOULDN'T WORK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY STREET OPENING AND WE WERE LUCKILY ABLE TO ESCAPE. THE VEHICLE WENT UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODED AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. ACCORDING TO THE FIRE REPORT, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS, "FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT OR HEAT SOURCE"; THE LISTED AREA OF FIRE ORIGIN IS, "ENGINE AREA, RUNNING". *TR

I BROUGHT MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC TO DARLING' S HONDA IN BANGOR, MAINE FOR STEERING PROBLEMS. THE STEERING STICKS IN ONE POSITION AND REQUIRES A LITTLE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION. THE STICKING CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JERK, AND STICKS AGAIN IN THE OTHER POSITION. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS, THE VEHICLE MUST BE DRIVEN FOR A WHILE SOMETIMES. I ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISOR (SA), BRADLEY GONYA, THAT NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE (SEVERAL HONDA FORUMS) HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY ALL STATED THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE SA, SAID THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TO FIND A CODE, TO WHICH THERE WAS NO FAULTY CODE. THE SA, SAID THEY ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. *NOTE: MILEAGE IN 38290, MILEAGE OUT 38291 AS STATED ON RECEIPT ( MILE OUT TEST DRIVE AND MILE BACK. SA STATED THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND STRUTS CHECKED OK. REMOVED OUTER TIE ROD ENDS FROM KNUCKLES AND RECHECKED STEERING, NO PROBLEMS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS THERE FOR ONE WEEK, THE SA STATED THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IT DAILY TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ADVISED THE SA THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN TO DUPLICATE, AND THAT I DID NOT WANT TO PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS $120 PER HOUR RATE FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK AND RIDE, AND I RESTATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM. THE SA STATED THAT UNLESS THE COMPUTER STATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE PART.

AFTER I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT HAS A CATCH IN IT. IT MAINLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MAKING MINOR MOVEMENTS TRYING TO KEEP IT IN THE LANE IT FEELS LIKE IT CATCHES AND I HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH IT, THE CAR STARTS WEAVING A TAKES A FEW SECOND TO GAIN CONTROL OF IT. THIS PROBLEM BECAME VERY OBVIOUS WHEN I WAS DRIVING FROM ALABAMA TO ILLINOIS. IT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE WAY THERE AND BACK. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL A FEW TIMES.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2016 CIVIC SEDAN EX-T BECOMES JERKY OR STICKY AFTER DRIVING ROUGHLY 30 MINUTES ON A HOT DAY. IT MAKES HIGHWAY DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS FROM ON CENTER, THE STEERING WHEEL IS HITTING RESISTANCE SIDE TO SIDE. YOU ARE FORCED TO OVERPOWER IT LOCKING UP CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL SWERVING. WHY DOESN'T THE SAFETY RECALL FOR 2017-2018 STEERING GEARBOX REPLACEMENT ALSO APPLY TO 2016 MODEL YEARS? I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 60K MILES, NOW AT OVER 100K. I HAVE HAD TO SWITCH TO WORKING OVERNIGHTS DURING THE SUMMER TO AVOID THIS VERY ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND THAT TAKING THE UNDER TRAY OFF EXTENDED MY DRIVING TIME SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE ISSUE REAPPEARS. HOWEVER, THIS CREATES A PARACHUTE UNDER MY CAR NOW THE UNDER TRAY IS REMOVED. NOW SUMMER IS BACK, I AM HERE NOW TO PLEAD WITH SOMEONE TO PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO REMEDY THIS OBVIOUS FLAW. THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS. ITS A PROBLEM ON EVERY CAR, ALTHOUGH NOT EVERYONE DRIVES THEIR CAR ENOUGH TO EXPERIENCE IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE HONDA SERVICE AFTER WARRANTY WITH NO ANSWER THEN. I WILL BE FORCED TO SELL MY CAR OR TRY AND REMOVE THE STEERING RACK MYSELF AND SPEND MONEY I SHOULDN'T NEED TO. HONDA CREATED A FAULTY EPS ON ALL 10TH GENERATION CIVICS 2016-2018.

THE AC ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DOESN'T WORK AND I THINK NOTHING OF IT BECAUSE I HAVE WINDOWS AND THEN WHEN I FINALLY HAVE TIME TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO GET CHECKED OUT, THEY RECHARGE THE AC FREON AND WHEN IT RUNS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S LEAKING A LOT AND I DIDN'T THINK THINK OF IT UNTIL THE AC NO LONGER WORKS AFTER A DAY, I TAKE IT BACK AND THEY SAY IT ALL LEAKED OUT AND TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR WHICH IS LEAKING IT, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1800 AND I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY SO I'VE BEEN GOING ALONG WITH AC AND ITS GETTING REALLY HOT IN CALI SUMMER. I JUST THINK THAT'S A HUGE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA AMERICA SHOULD DEFINITELY PAY FOR IT BECAUSE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING, FORUMS ALL OVER THE STATES HAVE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE EVEN REPLACED THEIR COMPRESSOR 2 OR 3 TIMES(AND PAYED FOR IT THEMSELVES). THIS IS AN ISSUE AMONG ALL OF THE 10TH GEN CIVIC SEDANS AND COUPES. YOU MAY SHARE ALL OF MY INFO WITH THE MANUFACTURER OR ALL INVESTIGATIVE PARTIES FOR ANY REASON THEY NEED IF NEEDED.

THE A/C COMPRESSOR FAILED, SHOOTING OUT ICE PARTICLES INTO MY FACE. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THE CONDENSER WAS FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY AND REPLACED THAT COMPONENT, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FAULTY CONDENSER PROBABLY SHORTENED/CAUSE ISSUES WITH THE LIFE OF THE COMPRESSOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL. IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO REPAIR AND LACK OF AIR CONDITIONING CAUSES HEALTH AND VISIBILITY ISSUES WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN THE WINTER.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN WILL NOT ENGAGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM HONDA. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER 350,000 MODELS ALREADY BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE STOPPED WORKING IN LATE 2017. I CALLED HONDA CIVIC ALREADY BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. I HAD ONE INCIDENT WHEN I WAS IN MOTION IN THE FREEWAY; MY CAR WENT FROM 65 MPH TO ABOUT 35-40 AND SKID AND ZIG ZAGGED; THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME BUT WAS ABLE TO EVADE HITTING ME.

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 AND AT HIGHER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE. HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY OF 2020, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS NOW.
