THE A/C STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER 3 YEARS BUT LUCKILY IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER MY CERTIFIED HONDA WARRANTY. TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID A/C PROBLEMS ARE A COMMON PROBLEM THEY SEE. CHECK FOR LEAKS AND RECHARGED THE SYSTEM. IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS NOW AND THE A/C IS STARTING TO BECOME INEFFECTIVE AGAIN.

MAY 2016, I PURCHASED THE RE-DESIGNED 2016 HONDA CIVIC COUPE LX. ON JULY 13, 2018, MY AC WAS NO LONGER BLOWING COLD AIR. IT WAS LUKE WARM IF THAT. THE DEALER PUT DYE IN MY AC TO DETERMINE ANY LEAKS. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS BUT RATHER - MY 2 YEAR OLD CIVIC - HAD A LOW CHARGE IN THE SYSTEM AND I WAS CHARGED $312 FOR THEM TO RECHARGE MY AC. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I PAID THE $312. THEY CHECKED MY CAR AGAIN ON JULY 27, 2018 AND ASSURED ME THAT THERE WERE NO LEAKS IN MY AC. WELL, 1 YEAR LATER MY CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - AC IS NOT BLOWING COLD. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON JUNE 14, 2019. ON JUNE 18 2019 I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THAT MY AC WAS LEAKING IN 2 PARTS - THE EVAPORATOR (WHICH THEY TOLD ME WAS A DEFECTIVE PART AND WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER MY WARRANTY) AND THE CONDENSER HAD A HOLE IN IN. THE CONDENSER IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE OF OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. SO NOW A $700 BILL I MUST PAY. AS I HAVE COME TO FIND ONLINE - THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF 2016 CIVIC OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR AC. THE LOCATION OF THE CONDENSER APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND I NOW THE RUN THE RISK OF ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM EVERY YEAR BECAUSE SOMETHING CAN HIT THE CONDENSER AS I DRIVE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING WILL KICK UP AND HIT THE CONDENSER. ON JUNE 26, 2019 AS THEY WERE PERFORMING THE REPAIR, I WAS TOLD MY ENTIRE AC UNIT IS CONTAMINATED??? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WITH A CLOSED SYSTEM THAT I HAVE NOT TOUCHED. LAST YEAR THERE WERE NO ISSUES/NO LEAKS - PER THE DEALER. AND, NOW, I NEED A WHOLE NEW AC AND MY CONDENSER AND EVAPORATOR ARE LEAKING!! OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS AN ISSUE HERE. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALER TO MAKE SURE THIS NEW UNIT IS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALL OF THIS ON A 3 YEAR OLD NEW CAR!

TAKARA RECALL I BOUGHT THE CAR MARCH 2016. SUMMERS GET PRETTY HOT IN OHIO SO OF COURSE I HAVE TO USE THE AC. WORKED PERFECTLY THAT YEAR. WELL THE FOLLOWING YEAR WHEN I WENT TO USE IT IT NEVER WORKED AT ALL. BLEW OUT WARM AIR AND NEVER COOLED DOWN. SO WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY SAID " MAYBE YOU HAVE A PIN HOLE IN A LINE, MAYBE COMPRESSOR, LOW FREON OR SOMETHING ELSE." I WAS PRETTY UPSET THAT IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE BUT HOW COULD SOMETHING GO WRONG AFTER ONE SUMMER. I HAVE KIDS AND I'M UNABLE TO TAKE THEM ANYWHERE IN MY CAR BECAUSE IT'S SO HOT. I HAVE A BUDDY WHO HAS THE SAME YEAR AND TYPE VEHICLE AND HE HAS ACTUALLY THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND WONDER WHY THE AC SYSTEM HASN'T HAD A RECALL YET. TOLD IT COULD COST UP TO $1000.00 TO FIX. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND CANT DO ANYTHING UNTIL A RECALL IS IN PLACE BUT SAID THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME WHEN THERE IS ONE SO HOLD ON TO RECEIPT. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. I REALLY HOPE HONDA LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. BECAUSE IT IS REALLY UPSETTING THAT THIS HAPPENED ONLY AFTER ONE YEAR OF DRIVING IT.

TOUCH SCREEN PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE ENTIRE SETTINGS OF THE CAR OVER HEATS AND BLOCKS OUT MAKING IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UPSETTING NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR /C SETTINGS OR YOUR RADIO AND YOUR PHONE. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2016 HONDA CIVIC TOURING THAT SAME YEAR BACK MULTIPLE TIMES IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER EVERY TIME WE TOOK IT THEY WOULD REPLACE IT. SINCE THEN THE TOUCH SCREEN PANEL HAS SOME WHAT WORKED PROPERLY TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS JUST SLOW IN FUNCTIONING BUT WORKABLE. THIS TIME ON JUNE 27, 2019 IT HAS COMPLETLY DONE THE SAME THING WE WERE FACING IN THE BEGINNING AND THIS IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, I HAVE TRIED RESETTING IT BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND JOINING CABLES TOGETHER AND IT JUST DIDNT WORK IT CONTINUES TO NOT WORK PROPERLY SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE.I WOULD LIKE FOR SOME ONE TO HELP US RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND TO REPLACE OUR PANEL FOR A GOOD WORKING ONE.

MY AC IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ONE VENT IS MORE COOLER THAN THE VENT THAT IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE.
Other or unspecified, Jun 24, 2019
THE AC KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE TO HAVE THE COMPRESSOR REPLACE TWICE AND 2 OTHER PARTS REPLACED TWICE. THE FREON STARTS TO BLOW OUT OF THE VENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS I ALWAYS HAVE MY KIDS WITH ME. WE ALWAYS HAVE INFECTIONS THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO BREATHINNG IN THIS FREON. EVERY YEAR IT GETS FIXED IN THE SUMMER. IT WORKS FINE FOR OYR 2 SUMMER MONTHS THEN I DONT HAVE TO USE IT THAT OFTEN BUT AS SOON AS THE HEAT ROLLS UP AGAIN I TAKE IT IN FOR A CHECK AND IT HAS NO FREON LEFT.
Wheels, Jun 24, 2019
AS I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT THEY TRIED TO SAY IT ''TWAS BAD TIRES THEY REPLACED IT WHEN IT WAS REALLY THE WHEEL BEARINGS. AND I'M IN FINANCE WITH NO BACKGROUND IN CAR MECHANICS AND I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AS SOON AS I DROVE OF THE LOT. AND THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN BUT SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS AND MECHANICS SAID IT WASN'T OBVIOUS SO THEY FIXED IT. I THEN TOLD THEM BEFOREHAND I GOT THE VEHICLE PURCHASED THAT I REQUIRED A STATE INSPECTION TO MAKE SURE IT FELL UNDER THE INSPECTION RULES OF TEXAS AND THEY SWORE AND SIGNED OFF ON PAPERWORK THAT THIS WAS DONE ON TWO SEPARATE WORK FORMS. WELL WHILE I WAS DRIVING I WAS RAN OFF THE ROAD AS MY HORN DIDN'T FUNCTION AT ALL AFTER THEY HAD SWORN THEY HAD DONE TWO INSPECTIONS AT THIS POINT AND I HAVE THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD NO DROVE OFF IN THE SHOULDER AND THE. I COME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRY TO SAY IT WASN'T THEM AND THAT IT COULD HAVE STOPPED WORKING ON ITS OWN WHICH I FIND VERY SUSPICIOUS. THEY THEN THREATENED TO NOT FIX MY CAR WHEN I SAID THREE NEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AS THEY ARE NOT LIVING UP TO THE STANDARDS SET DORTRH. I ALSO HAD THE CAR STEREO AND ELECTRONICS GO WILD AND THEY WOULDN'T STOP URNINF ON MUSIC AND TURNING IT TO MAX VOLUME AND IT WOULDN'T STOP TIL I SHUT THE CAR OF WHIC IS SUPER DISTRACTING WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE.

SO I JUST BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA CIVIC LX 2.0 USED TODAY WITH 26,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AWAY AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE HOME I NOTICED THE STEERING FELT LIKE IT WAS STICKING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65MPH. IT FELT NOTCHY AND STICKY LIKE I HAD TO USE A LITTLE FORCE TO START BEING ABLE TO STEER AGAIN. WHICH CAUSES YOU TO OVERCORRECT A BIT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE'S LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.. THE SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE A NEW STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY...

Steering, Jun 17, 2019
WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO GET A STICKING FEELING WHEN TRYING TO MAKE SMALL MOVEMENTS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVERCORRECT YOUR STEERING AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN POTENTIALLY RUN INTO ANOTHER PERSON OR OBJECT. YOU FEEL A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS MOST NOTABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO WORSEN THE MORE YOU DRIVE. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 32000 MILES ON IT.

CAR DID NOT START, AND FLASHED WARNING SIGNS FOR ELECTRONIC BREAK MALFUNCTION. CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT AFTER BEING DORMANT FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN 3 WEEKS, THE FIRST OF WHICH HONDA FAILED TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONAL (DISCOVERED MAY 2019). BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR. 31-32K MILEAGE ON CAR (ON MAY 2019). PURCHASED CAR NEW IN FEB 2016. HAD NOTICED A DECREASE IN COOLING EFFICIENCY IN SUMMER OF 2018, BUT DIDN'T TAKE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION, SINCE I DON'T USE A/C MUCH. DIDN'T NEED TO USE A/C AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2019. CAR WAS <4 MONTHS OVER 3 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT UNDER 36K MILES), SO DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR COST UNDER WARRANTY. WAS GIVEN REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $1,150, WHICH WAS TO COVER COST OF REPLACING A/C CONDENSER, O-RING IN DISCHARGE LINE, AND NEW REFRIGERANT RE-CHARGE. WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY, HIGH HUMIDITY WEATHER, WINDOWS MORE PRONE TO FOGGING UP BECAUSE THERE'S NO COOL AIR TO BLOW ON INSIDE OF WINDOW TO CLEAR CONDENSATION - BECAUSE A/C SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONING.

UPON CLOSING THE CAR TRUNK THE PARKING LIGHTS FLASHED & STAYED ON AND THE CAR "LOCKED-UP". THE CAR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED USING EITHER THE KEY-BOB OR THE KEY. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO HONDA (CASE #9624986) WHO BASICALLY IGNORED THE ISSUE STATING THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES 'FOOLING' WITH THE KEY AND KEY-BOB THE PARKING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO UNLOCK & DRIVE THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE FOUND ON THE INTERNET BY "GOOGLING" "2016 HONDA CIVIC DOORS WON'T UNLOCK"

A/C STOPPED WORKING AFTER 55,000 MILES AND OWNING FOR 3 YEARS. WHEN DISCUSSED WITH THE DEALER, THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE AIR CONDENSER THAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. STANDARD LIFETIME FOR AN AIR CONDENSER IS WELL BEYOND THE 3 YEAR TIMEFRAME. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS 2016 HONDA CIVIC'S IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE WAS OVER $1,000 WITH MY DEALER AND SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING AT THIS POINT IN THE CAR'S LIFE.

AMERICAN HONDA IS THE MOST FRAUDULENT COMPANY I EVER DEALT WITH. WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR, A SERIOUS PROBLEM DEVELOPED WITH THE TRUNK, WHICH RANDOMLY OPENS FOR NO REASON, SOMETIMES OVERNIGHT, SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WE TOOK THE CAR 2X TO THE DELRAY BEACH DEALER , & IT CLAIMED ITCOULDN'T IDENTIFY OR REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, & THEN THAT THEY FIXED IT. THEY DID NOTHING & THE PROBLEM NEVER STOPPED. I WASTED 2 DAYS ON THESE VISITS, ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING. LAST MONTH, NOW IN CALIFORNIA, & STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE TRUNK OPENED WHILE I WAS AWAY FOR A WEEK, & I HAD WATER DAMAGE TO > $200 OF ITEMS IN MY TRUNK. I SPOKE WITH LIVETTE AT HONDA, WHO TOLD ME TO GO TO THE BERKELEY DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR ASSESSED. I REVIEWED THE HISTORY OF THE MATTER, & TOLD HER I WANTED TO BE SURE THE DEALER WOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE REPAIRS. INSTEAD. I WASTED ANOTHER 4+ HOURS AT THE DEALER, WHO SAID IT COULDN'T IDENTIFY & HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON LINE, & WHEN I SHOWED THEM THE COMPLAINTS & HOW DEALERS HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED APPROVAL FROM HONDA (HONDA SAID IT NEEDED THE DEALER TO APPROVE THE REPAIR, SO IT'S LIKE DEALING WITH THE INSANE). THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD CALL ME AFTER OBTAINING APPROVAL'THEY NEVER DID. LIVETTE WAS THE MOST OFFENSIVE PERSON I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH, LIED TO MY FACE, & REFUSED TO AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR & CLOSED THE CASE THOUGH SHE NEVER EVEN SPOKE WITH THE DEALER. THESE CARS HAVE A KNOWN DANGEROUS DEFECT & HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING'THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE NTSB SHOULD TRACK ON-LINE COMPLAINTS & OBTAIN ALL HONDA COMPLAINTS FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS TO DETERMINE ALL MODELS AFFECTED. THE CAR'S UNDERCARRIAGE IS ALSO KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE; IT IS FAR TOO LOW & SCRAPES ON SPEED BUMPS & GETS TORN OFF BY THEM, PARKING BARRIERS, & ANY ROAD INCLINE.
