FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2016 HONDA CIVIC FUEL DOOR ACTUATOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN LOCKING. I AM TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM IS COMMON ON CIVICS 2016 THRU 2019 AND ON ACCORDS OF THE SAME YEARS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE FORWARD AND HITS 10 MPH AND WHEN THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE KEYFOB IS PUSHED.

SEATS
I TOOK THIS SEAT APART TO FIX A WOBBLE. NOW I THINK THERE MIGHT BE A LARGER SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE SEATS. PROBLEM: THE REAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT BAR ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS YIELDED TO FAILURE ALONG A WELD. THIS BAR IS USED FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE SEAT HEIGHT ON THE REMOTE SIDE AND SENDING SIDE. SYMPTOM: THIS RESULTS IN THE REMOTE SIDE OF THE SEAT'S HEIGHT TO FLOAT, CAUSING A SMALL BUT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TWISTING OF ONE SIDE AS THE (DRIVER'S) SEAT ROCKS ON THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FEET. SAFETY: THE "TWISTING" ACTION IN A COLLISION COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF SEAT. SCOPE: IT SOUNDS LIKE OTHERS PEOPLE MAY HAVE THIS ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.8THCIVIC.COM/THREADS/DRIVER-SEAT-BACK-SLIGHT-PLAY-ANY1-ELSE.258628/. P/N: 81526-SNA-A14 (I THINK) NOTE: "DATE IT HAPPENED" SET TO PURCHASE DATE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE SORT OF THING Y'ALL DO, BUT WHEN I SAW THE FAILURE, I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS. HAD A HARD TIME UPLOADING IMAGES, SO ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL ONES HERE: HTTPS://IMGUR.COM/A/CBMHJMC

AIR BAGS, STEERING
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT HAND TURNS (90 DEGREE TURNS) WITH THE VEHICLE GOING ~10 MPH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTTURNS AND STAYS ON FOR SOME TIME BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS. HOWEVER, THE FREQUENCY OF THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS HAVE INCREASED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE IS COMING FROM A CABLE REEL AND THE DRIVER INFLATION MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED TOO. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA TECHNICIAN- IF THE ISSUE/PARTS REMAIN UNFIXED, THE AIRBAG WILL FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A FORWARD MOVEMENT CRASH.

AIR BAGS
I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT CHANNEL BUT HERE GOES... I'VE CALLED TO GET MY RECALL FIXED AND NOBODY EVER WANTS TO CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT EVEN. I TRIED THE NUMBER WHERE YOU TEXT THE RECALL COORDINATORS? BUT THEY REPLIED THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY WAITED 10 MINS. POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. I TRIED WITH THEM A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AGAIN NO RESPONSE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE COMMON COURTESY OF A CALLBACK OR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS MAKING AN APPOINTMENT? THIS IS WHY I QUIT ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED SOME YEARS AGO, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER A PRIORITY APPARENTLY. NOW THAT I'M ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE IGNORED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT POHANKA, SO THAT I CAN MOVE ON. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH BEING PLACATED ABOUT "PARTS AVAILABILITY" OR "JUST WAIT FOR A CALL BACK" WHEN WAITING FOR A COURTEOUS REPLY IS ALL I NEED. BOTTOM LINE: I CAN'T GET MY AIRBAG RECALL DONE AT POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY IF THEY WON'T EVER REACH BACK OUT TO ME. I ATTEMPTED A FOLLOWUP QUESTION TOADAY AND WAS GIVEN A RUNAROUND PHONE NUMBER. WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU ALL OF MY VIN AND RECALL NUMBERS AND THEN HEAR NOTHING AGAIN? I'M EXTRAORDINARILY UPSET ABOUT BEING RELEGATED TO THE BACK OF THE LIST EVERY TIME. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NOBODY I'VE SPOKEN TO GIVES A [XXX] ABOUT GETTING THIS DONE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HOPING THIS ACTUALLY MERITS A RESPONSE BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO WASH MY HANDS OF THIS WHOLE RECALL DUE TO THE ABYSMAL HANDLING OF SUCH A SIMPLE TASK. THEN IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE NEW OWNER BECAUSE THESE DEALERS DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO ANY "FREE" WORK IT SEEMS. DISAPPOINTED, UPSET AND WOULD RATHER DRIVE A DEATHTRAP THAN DEAL WITH ANY OF THESE USELESS REPRESENTATIVES.
