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.

STEERING
'TAKATA RECALL' THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AT RANDOM TIME WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY IN MOTION; IT IS VERY RANDOM. I COULD NOT GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IF THE CAR IS NOT ACTING UP WHEN GETTING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TELL ME THE PROBLEM. IT FIRST START HAPPENING IN JUNE 2018. IT STOPPED FOR MONTHS AND NOW IS MESSING AGAIN OUT OF NO WHERE.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT 70,000 MILES MY "VSA ALERT" AND "CHECK STEERING ALERT" HAS BEEN FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. HONDA SERVICE "CLAIMS THEY NEVER SAW SUCH A COMPLAINT" BUT LAST WEEK HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON 130,000 HONDA VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE FIX COULD RUN OVER $2,000.00 . THIS ALERT FLASHES AND BEEPS, ANNOYINGLY, WHILE AUTO IS STATIONARY AND MOVING, IT FLASHES CONSTANTLY NOW FOR THE LAST 7,000.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS MAILINGS FROM HONDA ENCOURAGING ME TO HAVE MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED, I FINALLY CALLED THEIR SERVICE HOTLINE IN MARCH 2019. I EMPHASIZED THE NEED TO OBTAIN A "FREE LOANER VEHICLE" AS BOLDLY ADVERTISED IN THEIR MAILING, AND HOW MY SCHEDULE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE WITHOUT SUCH ACCOMMODATIONS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A RETURN PHONECALL THE NEXT DAY FROM TURNERSVILLE HONDA TO SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. TWO WEEKS WENT BY WITHOUT A RETURN CALL, SO I CONTACTED TURNERSVILLE HONDA MYSELF TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER ~15MINUTES ON THE PHONE, THE SERVICE REP INFORMED ME THAT THEY "DO NOT OFFER LOANER VEHICLES" DESPITE WHAT WAS STATED IN THE ADVERTISEMENT. I THEN CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST IN FULFILLING THEIR PROMISED ACCOMMODATIONS. DESPITE AN ADDITIONAL 3 MONTHS AND A DOZEN PHONECALLS AND PROMISES FOR ASSISTANCE, I AM STILL NO CLOSER TO HAVING THIS DEFECT REPAIRED. MY CASE NUMBER IN THIS MATTER IS 09466794. AS WORKING PARENTS WITH A FULL SCHEDULE, TWO SMALL CHILDREN, AND TWO OLDER PARENTS BATTLING CANCER, WE SIMPLY CANNOT DEAL WITH THESE SORTS OF OBSTACLES IN GETTING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SAFETY DEFECT REPAIRED. WE EXPECT REASONABLE AND TIMELY ACCOMMODATIONS TO BE MADE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SO BOLDLY ADVERTISED IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I HOPE YOU CAN ENCOURAGE HONDA TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR LEGAL AND MORAL OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING (50+/- MPH) ON A TWO LANE STATE ROAD, MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC HATCHBACK SPORT CMBS (COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM) AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED, BRINGING MY VEHICLE VERY CLOSE TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR NO REASON I COULD SEE. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME IN EITHER DIRECTION AND FORTUNATELY NO VEHICLE FOLLOWING OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. CLEAR MORNING, NOTHING ON THE ROADWAY, NO WILDLIFE I SAW. DRY AND SUNNY, NO LEAVES, NO BREEZE, BARE PAVEMENT. A SWEET JUNE MORNING IN DUTCHESS COUNTY, NY. OUT OF THE BLUE THE CMBS ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING THE BRAKES SO HARD I COULD FEEL THE ABS KICKING ON AND IN MOMENTS I WAS AT A CRAWL, THEN THE CAR SIMPLY BEHAVED NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR LESS THAN A WEEK. THERE IS NO MEANS PROVIDED TO SHUT THIS FEATURE OFF PERMANENTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE CMBS IS TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF EVERY TIME I RESTART THE CAR. IT RESETS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS FEATURE MAY WIND UP CAUSING MORE REAR END COLLISIONS AS IT AVOIDS FRONT END COLLISIONS. WHAT WOULD THE CONSEQUENCES BE IF THAT SCENARIO HAPPENED WHILE ON A CURVE, DRIVING 50 MPH IN THE RAIN? OR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH (OR FASTER) WHERE COMMUTERS TYPICALLY TAILGATE ACROSS THREE OR FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC? THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH CMBS IN ANY VEHICLE AND I CONSIDER IT A TOTAL FAILURE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT CAN ENGAGE WITH SUCH FORCE WHILE IT'S A FALSE ALARM.
