POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON A ROUGH ROAD. THE WAY IT FEELS WHEN THEY GRIND DOWN A ROAD FOR REPLACING. I TURNED MY RADIO OFF TO HEAR BETTER. IT SOUNDED ROUGH AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. MY ACCELERATOR THEN MADE MY ENGINE REV. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I PUT IN PARK AND COULD HEAR THAT MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE. I PUT INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO BUT ONLY REV UP. MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES AND IS MY DAILY COMMUTER. I HAVE SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND IT WAS DUE FOR THE THIRD OIL CHANGE SOON. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC AND PERFORM MY OWN SERVICES. THE OIL FOR TRANNY SERVICE WAS PURCHASED BOTH TIMES FROM YUBA CITY HONDA. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. HIGHWAY MILES ARE KNOWN TO BE EASIEST ON A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH NO FOREWARNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UPON CLOSING THE CAR TRUNK THE PARKING LIGHTS FLASHED & STAYED ON AND THE CAR "LOCKED-UP". THE CAR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED USING EITHER THE KEY-BOB OR THE KEY. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO HONDA (CASE #9624986) WHO BASICALLY IGNORED THE ISSUE STATING THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES 'FOOLING' WITH THE KEY AND KEY-BOB THE PARKING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO UNLOCK & DRIVE THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE FOUND ON THE INTERNET BY "GOOGLING" "2016 HONDA CIVIC DOORS WON'T UNLOCK"

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONAL (DISCOVERED MAY 2019). BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR. 31-32K MILEAGE ON CAR (ON MAY 2019). PURCHASED CAR NEW IN FEB 2016. HAD NOTICED A DECREASE IN COOLING EFFICIENCY IN SUMMER OF 2018, BUT DIDN'T TAKE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION, SINCE I DON'T USE A/C MUCH. DIDN'T NEED TO USE A/C AGAIN UNTIL MAY 2019. CAR WAS <4 MONTHS OVER 3 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT UNDER 36K MILES), SO DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR COST UNDER WARRANTY. WAS GIVEN REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $1,150, WHICH WAS TO COVER COST OF REPLACING A/C CONDENSER, O-RING IN DISCHARGE LINE, AND NEW REFRIGERANT RE-CHARGE. WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY, HIGH HUMIDITY WEATHER, WINDOWS MORE PRONE TO FOGGING UP BECAUSE THERE'S NO COOL AIR TO BLOW ON INSIDE OF WINDOW TO CLEAR CONDENSATION - BECAUSE A/C SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONING.

MY CAR WILL NOT OPEN WHICH CAUSES A HUGE CONCERN BECAUSE IF I GO OUT, THEN I HAVE TO LEAVE A DOOR UNLOCKED BECAUSE IT'S NOT GUARANTEED THAT I CAN GET INTO MY CAR AGAIN AND PEOPLE COULD POTIENTIALLY THINK THAT I AM TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY OWN CAR. WHEN I DRIVE, THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED GETTING WORSE AFTER I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND AS I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT PULLING OUT, MY CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I COULD NOT MOVE IT OR ANYTHING. I DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT WITH IT DYING AND THEN RESTARTING IT. IT FINALLY WORKED AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT DYING COMPLETELY BUT NOW MY LOCKS WON'T UNLOCK UNLESS IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO GET A STICKING FEELING WHEN TRYING TO MAKE SMALL MOVEMENTS. THIS CAUSES YOU TO OVERCORRECT YOUR STEERING AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN POTENTIALLY RUN INTO ANOTHER PERSON OR OBJECT. YOU FEEL A CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT IS MOST NOTABLE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO WORSEN THE MORE YOU DRIVE. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 32000 MILES ON IT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY OILS IS BEING DILUTED BY FUEL STRONG ODER OF GAS FROM OIL. SHOWS THAT IT IS OVER FILLED . WHEN IT IS COLD OUT SIDE MY ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS STUTTERING AND IT STARTS TO CLICK UNDER ACCELERATION. MY CAR HAS ALREADY HAD FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MISFIRING ISSUES AND MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY 50 MPH ROADS AND HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. EVERY HONDA DEALER I'VE BROUGHT IT TO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT ADMIT THAT MY OIL IS DILUTED. BUT I HEARD THEM SAYING HOW BAD THE OIL SMELL OF GAS
