I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER'S MECHANIC THAT R-1234YF IS VERY FLAMEABLE AND WE ARE LUCKY HAT THE CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE OR FLASHOVER. I BELIEVE HONDA IS LIABLE FOR THIS FLAW; THAT THE END OF THE TUBING ASSEMBLY DOES NOT HAVE A SUPPORT TO PREVENT THE TUBING FROM RUBBING AGAINST THE ALTERNATOR OPENING A HOLE FOR THE FREON TO LEAK OUT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT - POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHICALLY. I WONDER HOW THE USEPA FEELS ABOUT THIS FLAW AND HOW MANY CARS ARE LEAKING FREON???

STRUCTURE:BODY
IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE PAINT ON THE DIVER SIDE IN THE CREVICE BETWEEN THE REAR WINDOW AND THE BODY OF OUR 2016 CIVIC STARTED PEELING IN CHUNKS OF GREATER THAN 1". BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF THE 3/36000 WARRANTY, WE WERE OFFERED TO HAVE THE AREA REPAINTED AND WE CONSUMED HALF THE COST. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER, AND STILL LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE PAINT IS NOW PEELING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE SAME EXACT FASHION. THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON MANY CARS IN THIS YEAR AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THOSE CARS AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
PURCHASED 2016 HONDA CIVC 4/2021 - THE LANE ASSIST FEATURE TRIES TO TAKE THE CAR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO DETECT THE RIGHT LINES SOMETIMES BUT COMPLETELY IGNORES THE LEFT LINES. THIS IS TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 45 MPH ON DRY STRAIGHT HIGHWAY.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREETS WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE THE CAR ACT ERRATIC STOP AND GO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD CONTROL IT AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS SO GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PURCHASE THE CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2015. I ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SERVICE WAS DUE. AND TWO YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD WENT OVER 100K MILES SO I HAD TO PAY $2000 TO REPLACE IT. AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO BE PAYING $2000 AGAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CTV TRANSMISSION, UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I PURCHASE THE CAR USED I WANTED TO SEE IF THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS THE COMPLETE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. SOME WITH LOW MILEAGE LIKE MY SECOND TRANSMISSION AND MOST OF THEM FAIL AROUND 100K. I KNOW NOTHING LAST FOR EVER, AND I WILL PAY $2000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IF I CAN BE SURE THAT IT WILL NOT JUST ALL OUT OF THE BLUE LOCKUP OR BRAKE PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
EVERY TIME I DRIVE AT LEAST 30-35 MILES I GET THE MITIGATION, COLLISION AND ACC PROBLEM IVE TAKEN THE CAR TO HONDA 3 TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I'VE PAID FOR THEM TO RECENTER THE RADAR SENSOR BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK NOW THEY ARE REQUESTING I REPLACE RADAR FOR $1,500. THIS CAR HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT WHY AM I HAVING ISSUES ALREADY? ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE LEAVE BUT ONCE I GET TO THE 30-35 MILES IT COMES BACK UP.

STEERING
I BOUGHT MY CIVIC NEW ON 2016. THE CAR STARTS TO HAVE STEERING BECOME JERKY AND TENDS TO STICK IN THE CENTER POSITION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MORE THAN 20 MINUTES ON 03/15/2020. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND I HAVE TO USE A EXTRA FORCE TO PULL IT OUT OF THAT STICKING POINT BACK TO THE CENTER STEERING . I DID RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND FOUND 107 COMPLAINTS ON HONDA CIVIC 2016 EPS JERKY PROBLEMS. I ALSO FOUND HONDA RECALL 18V663000 ( POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS ) ON CIVIC AND CRV 2017-2018 BUT NOT INCLUDED 2016 WHILE CIVIC 2016-2018 USE SAME EPS ASSEMBLY PART NO.53650-TBA-A01 THAT FIX THE EPS FAILS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSTICS THE PROBLEM ON 05/2020 WAS 52K MILES BUT THEY CAN'T CONFIRMED IT BECAUSE IT APPEARS AFTER AT LEAST 20MIN DRIVES SO THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THAT MUCH TIME TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY! I NOTICED THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY RELATIVE TO THE WEATHER TEMPERATURES AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS FEW MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DEALER FOR HONDA RECALL VSA AND PARKING BRAKE SOFTWARE UPDATED. IT'S CHALLENGING TO DRIVE A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN THE PROBLEM APPEARS . TODAY 04/28/2021 MY CAR HAS 57K MILES AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY OVER $2500 TO REPLACE THE EPS ASSEMBLY DUE TO OUT OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED TO OWN A CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES WITH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES ON EPS UNPLEASURE TO DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTED CAR TO RUN AN ERRAND, AND A BUNCH OF ERROR/PROBLEM CODES APPEARED ON DASH ONE BY ONE AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. ALL YELLOW LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT IT DISPLAYED ON DASH WITH EVERY PROBLEM. HAD NO ISSUE TURNING ON, STAYING IN MOTION, SITTING IDLE FOR 30 MIN, OR BRAKING, YET EVERY ISSUE WAS STILL ON DISPLAY AFTER MULTIPLE STARTUPS. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING IT IN BUT SHOULD ONLY TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS. HAD TO LEAVE OVERNIGHT AND IS NOW LATE AFTERNOON. SERVICE IS MAKING REPAIRS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES AT THE APPROVAL OF AMERICAN HONDA (NOT EVEN INVOLVING EXTENDED WARRANTY.) FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT HONDA HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS.

MY MAIN DISPLAY IS UNUSABLE AFTER DIFFERENT TYPE OF COLORS APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY. I CAN LISTEN TO THE MUSIC BUT MAIN DISPLAY IS NOT RESPONSIVE AND COLORS ON IT GO FROM BLUE LINES TO COMPLETELY BLACK. TRIED RESETING BY REMOVING THE BATTERY, REPLACING THE FUSE BUT NOT LUCK. ONCE IN A WHILE SCREEN WILL START WORKING AGAIN BUT AS SOON AS I TURN OFF THE CAR SCREEN GOES DARK AGAIN WITH LINES IN IT. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE REAR BACK CAMERA, UNABLE TO RESET SERVICE MAINTENANCE MINDERS. IT IS A DISTRACTION.

POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
THIS 2020 HONDA CIVIC SI HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. FROM THE START I HAD THE WINDSHIELD CRACK ON ME FROM WHAT HONDA SAID WAS A TINY CHIP. I WENT IN TO WORK WITH MY WINDSHIELD SEEMINGLY FINE ONLY TO COME OUT TO A SPIDER WEB SPLIT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. HONDA WOULD NOT COVER CITING IT TO BE JUST AN 'ACCIDENT' AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET IT FIXED. THE WINDSHIELD ABSOLUTELY HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH FACTORY OEM GLASS DUE TO SAFETY FEATURES WHICH WAS ON BACK ORDER SO I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A BROKEN WINDSHIELD FOR CLOSE TO 2 MONTHS. COMPANY THAT INSTALLED GLASS SAID THIS IS BECOMING MORE 'NORMAL' SO TO SAY AS THE GLASS THEY ARE USING IS PAPER THIN IN HIS WORDS. ON TOP OF THAT FROM DAY ONE OF OWNING THE CAR IT HAS THE 'SAFETY' FEATURE OF LANE KEEP ASSIST AND THIS FEATURE WILL LITERALLY PICK UP HEAVY SHADOWS ON THE ROAD FROM POWER LINES AND TRY TO CORRECT YOU AS IF YOU ARE DRIVING OUT OF A LANE! COUNTLESS TIMES I HAVE HAD TO HURRY AND OVER RIDE THE ASSISTANCE JUST TO KEEP IT FROM MAKING ME RUN OFF THE ROAD! HONDA SEVERELY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ON TOP OF THEIR UNSAFE THIN WINDSHIELDS WHICH CRACK FROM THE TINIEST OF PEBBLES HITTING THEM. ALSO, I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AND COMPONENTS IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER JUST 20K MILES AND LESS THAN A YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. HONDA OFFERED NOTHING BUT A ONE TIME GOOD WILL ASSIST IN PAYING FOR PARTIAL LABOR AND PARTS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER A NORMAL DRIVE TO WORK ONE DAY WHILE GOING UP A HILL THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING. MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOOK THE CAR IN AND WAS TOLD TO PUT ANOTHER 100 MILES ON THE CAR AND BRING BACK TO THEM ALTHOUGH THEY SAID THEY FOUND A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND NEEDED TO FIND THE SOURCE . THIS WAS CERTAINLY VERY UNSAFE AS WHILE DOING THOSE 100 MILES THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY BURNT OUT AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

STEERING
STEERING IS VERY UNCONTROLLABLE AT 40 PLUS MPH. OVERCOMPENSATION IS REQUIRED AND MAKES IT HARD TO STEER CAR. APPEARS THAT 2017 AND NEWER HONDA CIVICS ARE BEING RECALLED BUT NOT 2016'S. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON 2016.

WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON THE RIGHT LANE OF THE SAW MILL PARKWAY THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. THE CAR CAME TO A HALT IN THE RIGHT LANE. IT WAS IMMOVABLE. I PUT THE FLASHERS ON, PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON. THE CAR DID START. I DROVE IT HOME BUT AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN.

THE BLOCK CRACKED CAUSING A ANTIFREEZE LEAK. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON 08 CIVICS AN EXTRA 10 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL WARRANTY WHICH WOULD ALLOW MY CIVIC TO STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY ONLY PERTAINED TO FIRST OWNERS. I SUSPECT MY PROBLEM OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY 4/21/2021 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.

HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN IN YET. HOWEVER THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS... DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 7AM IN NYS, DOWN SHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 2ND GEARS IN REVERSE SEQUENTIAL ORDER TO USE ENGINE BRAKING. NOTICED AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE EXIT RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY, THAT MY CAR WOULD SHOOT UP TO 6K RPM TO BARELY GO 20 MPH... THIS CLUTCH IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ALL CIVIC SI THEY PUT THEM IN. THREE YEARS AGO HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2017 CIVIC SI. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A WEAR ITEM AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DEALERSHIP BOUGHT USED CAR CATCHES FIRE AFTER JUST TWO DAYS OF PURCHASE: I BOUGHT A USED CAR WITH NO WARRANTY ON IT FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP EXACTLY TWO DAYS AGO. WHILE DRIVING ON THE SECOND DAY OF PURCHASE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND FUMES STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE CAR RIGHT AND AS I STOPPED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FLAMES BEGAN TO FLICKER OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY AND WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FIRE! I WAS ABLE TO CALL 911 AND GET OUT OF THE CAR IN TIME, BUT THE CAR'S GONE, COMPLETELY. I AM THINKING THAT THERE MAY BE SOME FAULTS IN THE CAR THAT WERE NOT SPECIFIED IN THE CAR FAX REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THIS IS NOT AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE THAT A CAR SETS IN FIRE. NOW, AS MY INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THIS TYPE OF FIRE DAMAGE (LIABILITY INSURANCE) I AM STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE AND I DEALER IS NOT READY TO CO-OPERATE. THIS IS A BIG FINANCIAL LOSS FOR ME AND I AM SEEKING HELP TO RECOVER SUCH BIG LOSS. THE EXPERIENCE WAS VERY TRAUMATIZING FOR ME AS WELL FOR MY GIRLFRIEND WHO WAS WITH ME. THIS HAS DEFINITELY LEFT US WITH PTSD.
