STEERING
MY VEHICLE, HONDA CIVIC 2016, WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. IN THE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT GAVE ME ERRORS IN ALL SYSTEMS: BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR, POWER STEERING ERROR, TIRE PRESSURE ERROR, ETC. I COULD SHIFT THE GEAR, BUT STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I TOWED A CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS 3.5 YEARS OLD, 36000 MILES, THE WARRANTY ENDED ONLY 6 MONTH AGO. HONDA PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN A FEW DAYS WHEN I WAS SUPPOSE TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, HONDA CALLED ME SAYING THAT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THEY NEED TO REPLACE A POWER STEERING RACK AND POWER STEERING MOTOR AND IT WOULD COST $3000. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE, IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 36000 MILES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN I-20, THE ONLY CAR CLOSE TO ME WAS BEHIND ME AND IN THE OTHER LANE. THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES OR POTHOLES. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE LIKE A CAR BACKFIRE OR GUNSHOT, AND I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE BLOWN A TIRE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED MY MOONROOF HAD SHATTERED - LUCKILY THE SHIELD HAD BEEN CLOSED. HONDA REFUSED TO CONSIDER THAT IT MIGHT BE A DEFECT AND SAID THAT EVEN IF IT WAS, IT DIDN'T MATTER AS MY CAR WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS REFUSED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD AND WE ARE DEALING WITH A PERSISTENT, NON-FUNCTIONING AC SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE HONDA CIVICS. HONDA CORPORATE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, LEAVING THE CONSUMER WITH A $2500 REPAIR BILL, THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A LONG TERM FIX, ON A NEW CAR. WE LIVE IN FL AND NOT HAVING TEMPERATURE CONTROL IS DANGEROUS.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE BLOCK IS CRACKED. I KNOW THAT SEVERAL YEAR MODELS OF THE HONDA CIVIC HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT; THE 2007 YR MODEL AS IS MINE INCLUDED. MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BUT IT HAS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED. I WOULD LIKE FOR MINE TO BE REPLACED. THE PICTURES INCLUDED SHOW WHERE THE WATER/ANTIFREEZE MIXTURE HAS LEAKED OUT AND DRIED ON. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APPROXIMATELY LATE 2015.

AIR BAGS
THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR SLIGHTLY GRAZED A SNOWBANK. THERE WASN'T AN "IMPACT" BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE SNOWBANK. THE CAR SPEED WAS LESS THAN 10 MPH TURNING A CORNER ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE CAR. NOT A NICK OR A SCRATCH. THE DIRT DIDN'T EVEN MOVE ON THE CAR. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY.

APPLIED WATER FROM A GARDEN HOSE TO THE ROOF OF MY CAR IN AN EFFORT TO REMOVE LEAVES AND OTHER VEGETATIVE DEBRIS THAT WAS STUCK TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I APPLIED WATER AT REGULAR PRESSURE TO THE ROOF, LARGE SECTIONS OF PAINT CAME OFF OF THE ROOF. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH AMERICAN HONDA BUT THEY ARE ARGUING THIS PARTICULAR PAINT COLOR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THE PAINT THAT WAS APPLIED TO THE ROOF OF MY CAR FAILED DUE TO A DEFECT.

ENGINE
WE BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA CIVIC IN 2013, ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP NOT DISCLOSE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PUT OUT ON THE CAR IN 2010. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THAT CAR, AND BOUGHT ANOTHER. TERRIBLY DANGEROUS THE HAVE AN ENGINE BLOCK CRACK. THE BLOCK DID CRACK IN DECEMBER 2019. AMERICAN HONDA WILL DO NOTHING. PASSED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION.. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL. THE CAR WITH ONLY 129,000 IS GARBAGE AND WE ARE OUT MONEY. WE WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN. WE'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST 10 IN OUR 27 YEAR MARRIAGE. THE CRACKING COULD HAVE EXPLODED THE ENGINE!

ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2016 HONDA CIVIC FOR MY SON IN 2016. I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT AC PROBLEMS THIS YEAR. I CONTACTED MY SON AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C. HE REPORTED THAT IT DOESN'T BLOW VERY MUCH AIR AND THE AIR NEVER GETS COLD. SO I HAD HIM TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL FOR A/C AFFECTED ONLY ONE PART OF THE UNIT WHICH THEY COULD FIX UNDER NO COST...BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A HUGE HOLE IN THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED. THEY QUOTED OVER $2,000 TO REPLACE AIR COMPRESSOR. I FOUND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AND RESEARCHED TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES A HOLE IN THE COMPRESSOR THAT MAKES IT BEYOND REPAIR AND THE ONLY INFORMATION I COULD FIND WERE OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2016 HONDA CIVIC FAULTY AIR COMPRESSORS. AGAIN WHEN I TESTED IT MYSELF, IT WAS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND SOMETIMES NOT BLOWING AIR AT ALL. SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE, IT SEEMS LIKE SYSTEM WAS NOT FULLY CAPABLE OF DEFROSTING WINDOWS IN FRONT AND BACK AND FIGURED THE DESIGN WAS BAD.
