I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SEDAN 2016 EX-L. MY VEHICLE HAS 36,943 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE 11/29/19. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE AIR CONDITIONING SINCE IT WAS NOT FEELING AS COOL AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. AGAIN I HAD MY CAR SERVICED ON 2/14/20 AS I WOULD BE DRIVING A DISTANCE. I LEFT AND WHILE ON THE ROAD THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. BECAUSE OF COVID I TOOK THE CAR IN ON 08/18/20. THAT IS WHEN I WAS CHARGED A $150. 00 DIAGNOSIS FEE. ADAM CAME BACK 2 HOURS LATER AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY A/C COMPRESSOR, CLUTCH AND COIL. IT WOULD COST $1794.97 TO FIX IT. ONLY THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA MECHANIC TO GET HIS OPINION. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THE COMPRESSOR WAS ON RECALL BECAUSE THEY FIX SEVERAL OF THEM. ' IF IT'S NOT IT SHOULD BE.' THE HONDA MECHANIC SAID THAT THEY COULD ORDER THE PART THAT DAY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE PRIOR OWNERS STATED HONDA WAS RELIABLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT RELIABLE. THE PROTECTIVE PLATE DROPPED DOWN AND GOT TWISTED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. HAD THE CAR IN AT LEAST 7-8 FOR THE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO AS IT IS THE BRAIN OF CAR. REPLACED THE BATTERY EARLY ON IN MY OWNERSHIP. THIS CAR IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. EVERY THING THAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH MY CAR I HAD MET SOMEONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AS WELL AS READING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE 32,000- 36,000 MILE RANGE!

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS 40MPH+ THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS STUCK. MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WHEN THE WHEEL IS CENTERED WILL HAVE A RESISTANCE TO THEM AND SOMETIMES MAKES A CLICKING SOUND LIKE THE STEERING IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING.

ONE DAY AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR 2 REASONS; IT WAS MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND AND IT WAS BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE AC. THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME AC BLOWING COLD. EXACTLY 1 YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM. AC BLOWING HOT AIR. ITS DISRUPTIVE WHILE DRIVING AND EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. TO THE POINT THAT I CAN NOT STAND IT. I WONT DRIVE IT UNLESS IT I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO AND THAT IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

AC SYSTEM NEEDS A NEW CONDENSOR AND COMPRESSOR DUE TO LEAKING....CAR IS NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD...THIS ISSUE IS ONGOING AND HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING....NOT LIVING UP TO REPUTATION...THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST HONDA. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY IN THIS CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND NOTHING WAS DRAINING IT....THIS HAS BEEN A PAIN IN THE BUTT EXPERIENCE....I'M GOING BACK TO TOYOYA. HONDA REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS AC ISSUE THAT MANY OF US ARE HAVING WHEN THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF IT.

STEERING
AT SPEEDS OVER ABOUT 45MPH THE STEERING STICKS BRIEFLY AND CORRECTION CAUSES A SUDDEN JERK IN THE NEEDED DIRECTION. THIS IS CONSTANT AND ALWAYS OCCURS. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BECOME WORSE WITH TIME AND IS ANNOYING AND DISCONCERTING, ESPECIALLY TO PASSENGERS AND ANYONE WHO DRIVES THE CAR RARELY OR HAS NOT DRIVEN THE CAR BEFORE.

ENGINE
GOOD AFTERNOON, MY 2008 CIVIC (137,500 MILES) OVERHEATED WHILE ON HIGHWAY & AFTER PULLING OVER & CHECKING COOLANT SPILL TANK SAW IT WAS EMPTY. NEXT DAY REFILLED RADIATOR WITH COOLANT & AFTER STARTING CAR NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING ON GROUND AT FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE. I COULD NOT LOCATE LEAK. DROVE TO NEAREST HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT & AT SERVICE (VIA PRESSURE TEST OF ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM) A CRACK IN ENGINE BLOCK BETWEEN CYL. 1 & 2 WAS LOCATED. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ENGINE BLOCK CRACK/ DEFECT & INSTEAD OF ISSUING A SERVICE RECALL WHAT THEY DID WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION OF 10 YEARS. HOWEVER, THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED 2 YEARS AGO. SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CORP. FOR GOODWILL ASSISTANCE TO TRY & HELP WITH REPAIRS BUT AMERICAN HONDA REJECTED/ DECLINED THE REQUEST & HAS LEFT ME WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I AM NOT ABLE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE NO CAR FOR WORK, FOR MY MOM/ DAD DOCTOR VISITS/ FOR SUPERMARKET/ FOR LIFE. COSTS OF REPAIR ARE ARE ABOVE $5,000. I WAS THE 2ND OWNER OF MY 2008 CIVIC & WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY HONDA OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION OR OF A POSSIBLE RECALL NOTIFICATION OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I RECEIVED RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG (TEKATA), BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING FOR A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WHY IS THAT? HOW IS AMERICAN HONDA CORP. ALLOWED TO DO A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" TO RESOLVE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE CRACKS & ONLY WHEN YOU NOTICE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING, THESE VEHICLES CAN HAVE AN ENGINE FAILURE/ STALL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. AS A LIFELONG HONDA OWNER (20 YEARS '97 ACCORD AND '08 CIVIC) I AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. DISAPPOINTED NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT HONDA LEGAL DEPARTMENT DID VIA "LEGAL LOOP HOLES," NO. I'M DISAPPOINTED I WILL NEVER OWN OR DRIVE A HONDA AGAIN. GOOD DAY.

POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY AC HAD STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, RENDERING IT USELESS TO ME BECAUSE TEMPS GO UP TO 90 AND ABOVE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY PART BUT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (3YR/36000) AS I WAS APPROXIMATELY 10000 MILES OVER, EVEN THOUGH I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAD ONLY HAD IT A YEAR AND A HALF. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE CONDENSER WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS FOR 2016-2018 CIVICS, JUST NOT MINE FOR SOME REASON. EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE FAULTY PART, AND THE SAME CAR OF THE SAME YEAR, AND THEIR WARRANTY DOCUMENTATION SIGNIFIED ME AS BEING SUBJECT TO THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY, (BULLETIN TSB 19-091) MY VIN WAS NOT ALLOWED SOMEHOW. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID, MY ELDERLY FAMILY RELIES ON ME FOR TRANSPORTATION, MY CAR IS OVER 100 DEGREES AND THEY WANT 1000 DOLLARS I CANT COME UP WITH. AIR CONDITIONER SIMPLY DOESN'T BLOW COLD AIR. PLEASE HELP.
