2016 HONDA Civic

Date above was repaired by replacing the power steering gear box 53650-TBC-A22 after returning it to the dealer twice previously and try found no problem. Now again on 02/20/23 mileage 98850 I have the same problem and the dealer say they can replace that same part with a part number 248360 for $3822. Upon asking if it was safe to drive I was told they could not say.

Fuel is leaking into the oil. The dealer just suggested changing the oil more often. I know this is a defect but what can I do?

The electrical system is not reliable….one day my passenger window would not work from my control on the driver\'s side. Finally it did.

They replaced once and then \"updated\" the infotainment system once because of very disruptive things that happen on the screen. Once it totally locked up my iPhone so that I could not use it even after I shut the car off and rebooted my phone! Once I got locked out of my car after opening the trunk and closing it…my Fob would not work and when I used the key, it set off the alarm, flashed the lights and reset all my personal settings. Many times the radio screen goes black when I am driving and not touching it. One time it started beeping and would not stop….very dangerous as I try to drive. And, my windshield wipers are VERY sporadic….does not matter if I try resetting them to auto….when it is not raining they go crazy, when it IS raining they stop….sometimes they work, sometimes they don\'t. I have to spend too much time trying to get the car systems to work while driving that this is as dangerous as can be. The electrical system of this car is a lemon…and has been from the start. I have at most about 9,000 miles on this car but started noticing glitches long before 6,000. This is the TOP of the LINE car in this model.

I have had many issues with this car since I bought it, now my car is out of warranty and I am stuck with the AC not working. I took my car to Sussex Honda in Newton, NJ for an oil change and asked them to check the AC unit. They told me that it seemed as though a rock hit the AC condenser and it leaked out the freon. It would cost approximately $600 to fix. I researched online and saw multiple complaints of the AC not working, or that it was leaking. I had my Dad take apart the front of my car and we checked to see where the road hazard damage was. We couldnt find the damage so I called Sussex Honda back to see if I could take my car back in and have them show me the road hazard damage or the hole caused by the rock or where it was leaking. They told me it would cost $325 to bring the car back in and have it be diagnosed. Something didnt seem right so I contacted Honda corporate and was told to go to Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains, NJ. The assistant service manager I dealt with was already aware of the issues with the AC leaking on these models and was willing to take a look at my car. Upon getting a second opinion from Route 23 Honda, they found that my car had a leaking AC condenser AND compressor, and that all of the freon was leaked out. They found there was NO road hazard damage, but that it was apparently a manufacturers defect. They were trying to help me as best they could, but because my car was out of warranty, the cost to repair it would not be covered. They filed a claim through a Honda Good Will program. The program came back and said they would pay 50/50 to help with the costs. The amount I would owe would be $842, and I believe that was before taxes. I spent so much money on a Honda because I thought it would be a reliable car, but I was wrong. I can barely afford my payments as it is, let alone spend another almost $900 to have an AC unit fixed when it has known issues. I have just contacted the EPA, about this issue because this is a known problem. There must be thousands of Hondas on the road that are leaking this refrigerant which is not good for the environment. I called the lady back from Honda corporate, her name was Amber and phone number is 1-800-999-1009 extension 87030 and she basically said that the Good Will offer stands and there isnt much she can do. I told her that I was going to contact the EPA, and she responded that Honda does not put out their own recalls, and these products have not been recalled. I need some sort of help with this issue because I want a working AC unit and I dont think its fair that there are thousands of these cars that are being effected and some people may not even know their AC has a problem, until its out of warranty. I really dont think its right that I should have to pay anything at all to have this issue fixed when its apparently a manufacturers defect, regardless of my car being out of warranty or not. Even if I did pay to have this issue fixed, will I have the same problem 2 years down the road again? Also, Sussex Honda should not be telling people that there is road hazard damage to these products from rocks hitting the units and causing these problems. That is wrong and they are scamming people out of money. I am thankful for all the help I received from Route 23 Honda, although I cannot afford to have this problem fixed, and I should not have to pay to fix Honda\'s known issues. The major major problem with the AC not working is that it is unsafe to drive like that. The kind of weather we have been having recently has been muggy, humid, hot weather. Then it rains and fogs up the windshield. I was driving on a major highway in the rain and couldn\'t see out of my windshield because i didn\'t have a working defogger in my car due to the AC not working. This is extremely unsafe as I could not pull over on a major highway and risk having another car slam into me on the highway, and I really couldn\'t see anything out of my windshield. I couldn\'t open my windows either because the rain was coming down so heavy. If this problem is not recalled, it is going to cause major problems, it is a safety issue that needs to be addressed, these products need to be recalled. Any help that you could offer me would be greatly appreciated.

Tire Pressure Monitor Problem. After replacing (2) flat tires over a 3 month period with the same brand, model, size and style of tire as the OEM, I now get a Tire Pressure Monitor warning constantly illuminated, even after checking tire pressures and recalibrating the TPMS. According to Honda dealership this is a known issue with Honda TPMS systems since the system uses wheel speed not sensors to detect differences in tire pressures. As a result there is no known solution other than to replace multiple tires at once. What is supposed to be a safety feature / convenience is now a nuisance

Fuel dilution of engine oil. Halfway through oil life at 7700 km on engine oil, the oil was found to be 9.7% fuel dilution by volume. The sample was taken by the Honda dealer and I submitted it to Wear Check for analysis. This Civic averages 40km/day and is operated in the Cowichan Valley which has the highest mean temperature in Canada. The outside air temperature rarely goes below zero in winter. The Wear Check report noted the fuel dilution was Severe and the oil viscosity was Abnormal.

Paint peeling on bottom of left front bumper. Car is garaged. Am bringing car in to Honda store where I bought it on 3/12/18 for problem to be photographed and sent to whatever Honda department is appropriate for review. No repair attempt has been made yet. This is definitely a manufacturing deficit!

A rodent crawled up into the engine compartment and chewed up the wires to coil connector. It made all of the dashboard warning lights to come on and the engine was shaking due to the mis-firing coil. It is Honda fault because they covered/made the wires with SOY, which attracts rodents. My 2016 Civic is less than 2 years old with 9,500 miles, Honda claims it is not covered under the warranty. Honda then, wanted to sell me a $500 engine wiring harness, this is ridicules, because it doesn\'t resolve the problem, the rodents will be attracted to the new wire harness too. They also wanted to sell me Spicy Rodent Tape for $48, this is a scam, Honda needs to fix this problem, they will be losing loyal customers.

soybean wiring attracting animals. All electrical, abs system locked due to animals, first incident 3 months into owning the car. Over 6k in the last year in repairs.

Engine eaten by rats due to the soy coils and wiring; when car was in for repairs the car came back with more problems then it went in with; car has had to have 4 alignments still won\'t hold an alignment; shakes so bad the rear view mirror shakes; it rocks; swerves; dealer tells me its the groves in the road; car feels like its going to die when first turned on until car is warmed up dealer tells me all this is normal; I can\'t keep control of this vehicle the stability is horrible; I don\'t feel safe in this vehicle; have taken it in numerous times to dealers to rectify the situations and they tell me the car is fine.

Honda use soy on wires because is cheaper than plastic ,but it attract rats and rodents that love to chew on it .witch result in car crash and expensive repairs .I have a new 2016 honda car 6 months old witch I had to pay 1481 $ even though I have a 5 years engine warranty.
Honda makes money out of those repair an average of 100 cars come to every dealership every year :

Car stops responding to the remote control. Cannot unlock doors or trunk. Must use manual key.

See video: https://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=NNbiWHk2tbg

It\'s difficult to repro, but here are the steps:
1. Open the trunk.
2. Close the trunk
3. Observe that both turn signals are solidly lit
4. Observe that the car no longer responds to the remote.

At this point, the only way to unlock the door is to take out the emergency key – which will then trigger the theft alarm.

Lots of other people who have experienced this:

Transmission dies. Mechanic says $3,000 to repair. Not worth it.

The steering sticks in the middle when driving on the expressway in warmer weather. when trying to make slight adjustments when driving, the steering wheel sticks around the 12 o'clock position. i have not noticed this problem unless the weather is warmer (55 degrees and up).

Just within the last month the steering has been sticking when trying to maintain a straight line. when trying to stay straight there is resistance in the steering and suddenly the resistance stops, causing driver to over correct. also if the car hits a bump or road irregularity while the steering is resisting movement, then the car wanders even further in lane. this repeats itself constantly and car is wandering back and forth in the lane. the lower ball joints have been replaced and condition continues.

There is steering problem especially in high way. the steering is stiff and a little stuck. the car can not go in straight, either left or right, it will over correct. i have to hold the steering wheel to overcome the stuck force to keep in a straight line, then it will over turn. i have to do it again from the other side. and it keeps left to right, right to left.

Steering becomes sticky in the middle specifically when it is warm out or after the engine has been on for a while .this was not an issue in the winter. this becomes a safety issue due to trying to keep the car going straight on the interstate you end up having to overcorrect going back and forth left and right. reading online forms this is an issue with this generation not sure why there's no recall yet. it can lead to going into another lane trying to overcorrect this is definitely a safety issue. this issue has been going on since i bought the car last year.

After being on the road for 30-40 minutes the steering becomes jerky and sticky. feels like the car is trying to over correct when it shouldn't. i have my car in the dealer since last week where the service guys drove my car and and felt the problem, they submitted a claim under my extended warranty and now the warranty guy can't find a problem with my car and denied my claim. this is really unprofessional on honda's part for not addressing this issue that we are all having. i swear i used to love driving my car, now i'm so scared to drive it that i can't enjoy it. please investigate this because it is really unsafe. i think they want us to crash our cars rather fixing a simple issue and change the eps rack and pinion.

I was driving on the road and my windshield became foggy to the point i couldn't see the road ahead of me. tried to defog it, it didn't work because of the defective ac system on these particular vehicles. although had received a recall notice letter about this issue, the local dealer denied my request to fix the issue. this is a safety issue and must be fixed.

When the fuel door actuator is activated (locking the doors on remote control), the motor makes a loud noise as it locks the fuel door. unlocking does not make a noise. also, when getting into car (unlocking doors) and then driving away, as the door auto-lock the actuator is engaged and it makes a loud noise. sound only happens when the actuator is engaged. sounds like the internal motor is struggling to close/lock the fuel door. it began 2 weeks ago, and the sound is getting worse and annoying.

I have been experiencing multiple electrical issues since about 6 months after purchase with brake light bulbs repeatedly burning out along with every system icon on the dash flashing off and on while driving the car it will not start always and at times it will not open with the key or the remote fob all being taken in to shops for repairs and within weeks i can be back to the shop with yet another so called fix this recurring problem is a big safety issue

Ac compressor went out after 37,000 miles. without the ac, it hurts visibility (could not defog the car windows) when raining or living in a high humidity area. this is also a safety issue in hotter climates. also had problems with rear backup camera not working upon startup intermittently.

Transmission replaced twice within 2 months. vehicle makes loud noises. vehicle not safe to drive. transmission is defective. parking brake has technical issues.

Steering sticks. it is impossible to drive straight on the freeway forcing you to zig zag continuously in a lane. problem is most notable at speeds over 40mph. problem started was first noted in summer of 2017 (while driving on the freeway) and continues to today.

This issue seems to occur at highway speeds. the steering system seems to have a slight 'sticking' point that requires a slight, additional pressure to correct. type of road surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.) seems to have some affect on this issue. it is somewhat disconcerting to have this occur while driving...not a good feeling!!!

2016 honda civic touring. consumer writes regarding loud grinding noise coming from vehicle. *ld the consumer stated the air conditioner failed causing the loud grinding noise. the manufacturer was contacted. the consumer requested to have to reimbursed for the cost of repairs. *js

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.

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.

2016 honda civic ex-t after getting brakes and rotors replaced the 'brake system' light stays on with alerts for: electric parking brake problem, brake system problem, & brake hold system problem. however, the electric parking brake engages and holds and disengages when i flip the switch fine, the car drives and brakes fine, the only thing that doesn't seem to work is the brake hold button. car drives fine and brakes work fine, alerts won't go away and are only on the dash not in the notifications in the center console.

A/c quit blowing cold air. turned on for first time this season after a/c not running during winter. $2000 to fix compressor.

I was stopped at a left turn in section, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass, when an honda cr-v rear ended me, causing me to hit my head on the steering wheel. the cr-v’s airbags did deploy, but mine did not(have photos and videos of crash).

My car’s steering has a problem since 3+ years. the steering veers on its own and moves to the other lane even when i am going straight. i have to bring it back to lane. i am driving since 20+ years and can simply say that is dangerous. at first i thought it was wheel alignment issue and took them to dealership. i had spent some money for that repair, but to my surprise the problem was still there the moment i drove out of the dealership after that repair. i was kind of shocked and upset that the problem still remained. i took them to local mechanics couple of times and did the wheel alignment but the problem still remained. i saw in the news about the honda recall for the steering issue and when i checked if my car was in the recall list and again to my shock it is not there. this is big cover up for reputation but i think 2016 civic model is in that list of recall. please look into this matter and take the necessary steps.

Steering wheel locked while driving. has happened at different speeds including 70 mph on interstate 75 in southern florida. took vehicle to dealer which was able to recreate the problem and stated a replacement of the steering rack system ($3800) was required. opened a case with honda since the vehicle (2016 model year) fell outside of the recall for 2017-2018 civics for a similar steering problem.

Steering gets stiff and requires extreme force to make minor corrections. this causes over correction. i have had it to the dealer in the past and since they could not reproduce the problem they just dismissed me. when it began it was only at highway speeds. it is now happening as low as 45 mph. this has happened multiple times since i purchased the car new in 2016.

Steering column sticks at all speeds requiring extra force to pull the wheel free. this causes the car to over steer in the opposite direction.

My steering feels “sticky” at times. this seems to happen mostly when i’m going straight or on a long sweeping curve and i attempt to make minor steering adjustments. the wheel will slightly “stick” in response to those small inputs and then break loose resulting in over steering. i have not yet lost control of the vehicle due to this problem but it is starting to feel sketchy and dangerous. i do not notice this issue when driving at slow speeds.

On 10/11/2019 ac stopped blowing cold air. had to repair out of pocket. replaced condenser and compressor. on 06/15/2021 ac stopped blowing cold air again. just fixed this, ~ 14,000 miles later.

Ac problems in this generation of the vehicle are rampant. we recently had the condenser in this vehicle changed under an extended warranty via american honda less than a year ago because the ac was blowing warm. it worked fine until present day where the ac seems to be blowing warm again. the problem this time is the evaporator. the car only has 52k miles. for this many problems in the ac system to break before the car even hits 100k miles is unheard of. honda should cover the entire ac system and not only the condenser in its warranty as the entire ac system in the car is poorly made. honda is well aware of these issues which are rampant for 2015-2019 honda civics.

The ac blows hot on drivers side causing the driver to sweat and lose grip of steering wheel. this is a known issue of faulty ac systems in this year of civics.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds the air conditioner was distributing hot air through the vents. the local dealer was contacted but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was unknown. the contact was concerned about driving a vehicle without air conditioning in a hot climate state.

At speeds above 45mph the car tracks left or right. when correcting, the steering wheel becomes stiff and has to be forced , almost snapping back into position causing the driver to over compensate.

Honda has installed faulty a/c systems and expect the consumer to pay for repairs on their faulty equipment. a 2016 honda civic should not have a bad compressor for a car that is barely used.

Air conditioner compressor gasket broke. had to replace compressor, clutch, coil and add new freon. cost of repair was $2,346. based upon internet postings this is a common defect in 2016 civics. honda should be compelled to provide an extended warranty covering the costs for repairs.

The contact's son owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while her son was driving 60 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle temporarily stalled. there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. the contact stated that the failure reoccurred whenever the gear shifter was shifted to drive. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the transmission needing to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

2016 civic air conditioner continues to blow hot air. problem started in spring of 2018. honda claimed they fixed in in summer of 2020 but it hasn’t worked at all in 2021. seems to repeat pattern every spring.

This car has steering that i describe as stiff and jerky. mostly noticed at speeds above 50mph. i’ve only owned the car for 2wks but i would say 60% of the time i’m driving, it’s like this. very hard to maintain lane and easy to over correct. when turning sharper corners, must slow car way down because sometimes steering will stick and stay in the turn versus the steering wheel straightening up. very scary and dangerous!

The day i bought this car the ac went out. i had to go back to dealer the next morning. i later on learned they just fiddled with it to make it work temporarily. by the next summer ac went out again, this time defrosters didn't work, heater didn't work, ac obviously didn't work. and ive been dealing with it like this for over 2 years. honda is not helping at all.

Ac evaporator failed. the lack of a functioning air conditioner can cause health problems that expose the driver and occupants of a vehicle to risk of injury or death from heat related incidents. research into 2016-2019 honda civics illustrate a systematic failure of the ac system due to manufacturers errors. one of which is only recognized by honda ,being the ac condensor, due to a class action lawsuit (ref:honda service bulletin 19-091, aug 09 2019 warranty extension). the problem was inspected by a honda dealership.

A/c is not working i own a 2016 civic now for a little over 3 years and over the years i've noticed that the a/c just doesn't work i have r1234yf refrigerant which isn't cheap or easily accessible. finally after hearing about somebody who almost bought a 2019 civic that did in fact have a recall on some a/c component i tried reaching out to a honda dealership nearest to my home. when i was told there are in fact recalls for some vehicles but that mine was not defected. i would need to pay $220$ to run the diagnostic on it as well as recharge the system. i just told them to forget about fixing the a/c and went home and after looking everywhere for my specific refrigerant i found it finally and recharged the system with the help of youtube obviously i follow somebody who is a ase certified mechanic and knows what there doing so to my knowledge there where no way of messing anything up. i personally found that the system was literally empty as empty can be, some may say dry even. and after recharging my system the a/c had never worked better. the reason i feel the need to finally reach out for sources on fixing things in my civic is because i have a friend who owns a 2020 civic and just last week they received a letter in the mail informing them that there is in fact a recall for there car effecting leaking a/c fluid and that the effected vehicle years are 2016 - 2020. please if nhtsa can help me please do.

After driving for over 20-30 minutes at highway speeds, the steering wheel sticks and causes me to have to jerk the wheel. honda failed to produce vehicles that are meant to be safe on the highway and on several occasions this flaw has caused me to nearly drive into another vehicles lane because the steering wheel was stuck in one position. this issue was not addressed by honda in the past with any recall after several other owners of the same make and model have complained of very similar experiences happening to their car. the vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and they offered little insight to the issue and only assumed of what could be the issue that needs to be repaired but they were not completely certain. this vehicle has not been inspected by any police or insurance representatives. no lamps or messages appear when this issue occurs the issue continues mostly at highway speeds or when the vehicle has been driven for 20-30 minutes.

Air conditioner: 2019 i purchased a 2016 honda civic touring with 25,000 miles, when we were given the carfax it did not state the ac had anything wrong with it or from any personel at honda. last thing on our minds being this car had low mileage and year was to check the ac. we didn't need the ac much until summer of 2020 we live in california (bay area) it was very hot, ac did not work was blowing hot air, before that we just thought the car wasn't heating enough and we did not keep it on to learn it would never cool off. we did take it in and were told we needed to pay for them to check it and see if it was covered under warranty. i then looked on line to find there was a lawsuit against honda for the same thing. then the california fires came, we drove the car with the windows down by force and it was hard with the heat and smoke, but had to do it to get to work and daily things, it was ugly we couldn't even take the kids with us. we also have a child that has a condition where the heat effects him too. paying into a car with a defect that honda is well aware of is not ok. it's 2021 car has about 36k miles now, it's summer and we're still suffering from the heat, hot leather seats and we are hoping no major fires.

The steering wheel “catches” increasingly often. when minor course corrections are attempted while driving straight or on moderate curves, there is resistance to the correction until i apply enough force to break the resistance, causing the car to jerk to one side. the same thing happens when course-correcting to the other side. it is a repeated process of making small swerves from one side of the lane to the other. it is getting increasingly worse and poses a safety issue. the problem has been reproduced by an independent dealer and the eps is available for inspection. there are no warning lamps or messages that appeared prior to the failure.

When the car begins to drift and attempting to correct, the steering wheel "sticks" (resists). it doesn't lock up or not turn at all, but "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects (usually over steers). this does not cause issues with any turning once the steering wheel is unstuck. this happens in both directions. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly (due to the over steer when the steering wheel releases), all the while fighting with a steering wheel. i was able to get this to recreate for the dealer. they made adjustments to the electronic steering module which helped slightly, but this issue still exists. i was told i have to replace the power steering rack.

Paint falling off body panels

As has been noted by numerous complaints, the steering "sticks" requiring extra effort to control the vehicle. at times, and at least in my experience, it happens most often, as it did today, when entering, exiting or in a broad, sweeping curve to either the left or right. this isn't to say it doesn't also happen in other circumstances, but in the situation mentioned it happens most often. at times, it has been very difficult to correct the vehicle trajectory so as to prevent either running off the road in the direction of the curve or straying into another lane due to the corrective action needed. empirical evidence seems to suggest it occurs more frequently at higher ambient temperatures. a dealer has inspected the vehicle, but the result was inconclusive. there are no warning indicators or messages of any kind when this occurs. please do not ignore this problem. it is potentially very dangerous and an investigation needs to be undertaken and hopefully recall issued to resolve it.

The paint is peeling at the corners and rim of where the body meets the rear view glass.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 70 mph, the steering wheel was making abnormal clicking sounds. additionally, the steering wheel was stiff, and the vehicle was pull to the left while driving. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the contact was referred to an authorized dealer for assistance. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was still awaiting the diagnostic report. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000.

After driving the car for 30-45 minutes, the steering wheel begins to "stick" and "jerk." i've noticed this issue in the last month.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the power steering started to fail. the steering wheel started to drift to the left or right and the steering wheel seized in that direction. the contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. the power steering function returned; however, the failure recurred intermittently. the contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

2016 honda civic sport- push start ignition can turn engine power off when parking without the operator knowing, or receiving sufficient warning that the automatic transmition is still in drive or neutral. yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. yesterday, my husband parked our 2016 civic after a trip to the store. he was unaware that the had not placed the vehicle in park, as he was able to turn off engine and exit the car without sufficient safety warning. he took an item from the trunk, closed it, walked down the street and into the house. a few minutes later our neighbor got an alert on her security camera. our unoccupied car is seen in the video rolling forward, down the hill, before crashing into shrubs and trees at bottom. when we got up to the car, my husband unlocked it and climbed in through passenger seat, to find it was still in drive, but was not running.this could have seriously injured or killed a child or anyone else if they had been standing in its path.thankfully, it didn't roll into a child or one of our neighbors. no one was injured, though they certainly could have been. the car does have damage, but that can be fixed. we have not taken it to the dealer yet, but i am contacting them now. we have not contacted our insurance company yet. but we will be submitting the photos and videos with the claim. my husband said there was not a warning light on the dash and he did not observe any indication that the car was still in gear or he would not have gotten out of the car. the car gives a warning light if you leave your lights on, when you are approaching a service interval, low fuel or change in tire pressure, low battery life, and a dozen other things. he has had the car for more than five years so he is very familiar with it. it is serviced on time, and our mechanic does annual inspections every year. we will test it again tonight to see if we can duplicate it, but with a driver inside to apply the break if it rolls.

When driving for over 15-20 minutes started to noticed my steering begin to become stiff then would being to stick. found the longer i drove the stiffer it would become, as well if i was going over 55 mpg it would stick more and more. took it to the dealership had no error codes and they couldn't find anything. have taken back to the dealership after having a private mechanic look at it as well as doing some research and other people having the same issue and they have confirmed the issue being with the power steering assembly(part # 53650-tvc-a21). this issue is sporadic and gradually gets worse.

At highway speeds, the steering "sticks" when attempting minor steering adjustments. there is a resistance in the steering wheel that causes additional pressure to be applied to the direction of the turn. when the steering "unsticks" is causes an overcorrection. both right and left directions are affected.

Brake and brake system came on and i was unable to reverse

I purchased a 2016 honda civic brand new in 2016. this car has had multiple issues including ac problems and more recently a problem that causes the steering wheel to be sticking to a position after driving for a long distance (apparently worse on hot weather). i have brought this car multiple times to the dealership. last year i was informed the issue was caused by something regarding the brake calipers, which were then replaced under warranty. as i'm working from home i have barely driven long distances until last month when i drove longer. then i noticed the steering issue persists. i brought the car back to the honda dealership (serramonte honda) and was then informed the issue now was due to a bad battery (my car never had battery issues) and the car also needed to do an alignment. i told darren that it did not make any sense because if the issue was battery i would see it as soon as i start driving, and not after driving for awhile. still, i said that i would take care of the 2 things and then check again. so i did, i installed a new battery (even after testing my battery with my multimeter at home and seeing it was ok) and did the alignment. i spent a little over $300 and took the car for a long drive and indeed the issue persisted. then i drove right back to the dealership and talked with a service advisor again showing him the video of my car with the steering wheel stuck and changing lanes until i would run out of the road unless i intervene (i have it on video). i was hoping to get a technician to get into the car and witness first hand. that was not possible. so after showing the video to the service advisor i left the car to be tested again. a day later i received the call saying they can not reproduce the problem. i had called honda, and my case number is 12390725. i've seen multiple cases of people describing the exact same issue, fo all the cases the fix has been replacing the power steering rack assembly ( part # 53560-tba-a01)

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 45 mph while remaining in a straight line, the contact noticed that the steering had seized, caused the contact to manually put more pressure to steer the vehicle in a straight line to avoid the vehicle going into the other lane. the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure as a steering rack failure that needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 33,532.

In a head on collision. front air bags deployed. passenger side airbags deployed. driver side airbags did not deploy

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while reversing, there was an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel. in addition, the steering wheel was pulling to the right or left while the vehicle was driven straight. the steering wheel seized causing the contact to use extreme force while steering the vehicle. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 32,000.

It is alleged that the compressor on my 2016 honda civic has failed and needs to be replaced. the mileage of my vehicle is under 50k. this resulted in the failure of the air conditioning system in my vehicle. it caused unhospitable conditions for the driver and passengers inside the cabin on hot summer days. other issues due to lack of cabin cooling most likely result. currently, honda is only taking partial responsibility for widely occurring air conditioning issues in the 10th generation civic. they refuse to acknowledge that the breakdown of the air conditioning system may also include the compressor. research indicates the freon leaks prematurely in 10th generation civics because the new air conditioning systems can not withstand the internal pressures of the engineered design. my vehicle is currently with my honda dealership. visible symptoms occurred suddenly, but non-visible symptoms were likely occurring long before, without my (the owners) knowledge. i regularly bring my car in for appropriate maintenance and inspection. there needs to be a national recall.

The steering wheel on the 2016 honda civic tends to stick when the car in going in a straightforward motion at highway speeds. when a bend or curve in the road approaches, the steering wheel must be gently forced out of its central stuck position, causing a jerk in the movement of the vehicle. i have gotten used to this issue and have been able to work through it, but fear the safety of my family as passengers or if they ever need to drive my vehicle. the jerking motion could potentially cause the car to jump out of lane. this is generally always been an issue with my vehicle, but i didn't fully understand how potentially dangerous it is until now.

Steering gets "notchy" and acts out of sync. when at highway speeds, when trying to move left or right the steering does not respond correctly. you end up overcompensating for slight movements making it dangerous as you may veer too far. seems to happen after car is warm or temps outside are high. its also intermittent so hard to get dealership to diagnose. have read this is an eps problem with steering rack. should definitely be a safety recall as this is how we "aim" these 2 ton metal machines. took to a local honda dealership they said nothing is wrong. i still have the problem! this is a serious defect. please issue a safety recall.

Around 40,000 miles, we first noticed a sort of bump or detent when trying to steer straight ahead at highway speeds. the car will drift to the right or left. when the driver attempts to steer back into the lane, resistance is felt at top-dead-center, the demarc between left and right. to overcome the resistance, extra force must be used and that causes an oversteer condition in the opposite direction. i reported this problem to the dealership at 46976 miles, which was within the extended warranty coverage. they failed to report it to the warranty company or american honda. i reported the issue again at mileage 59277, after it became much worse and much more dangerous. so far, my dealership has refused to cover the problem under manufacturer's warranty or extended warranty. over the past year, i've driven this car less than 1000 miles because i am afraid it will get me killed.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel had experienced minute levels of stiffness and stickiness when attempting to turn in either direction. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Steering would "catch" at the centerline when attempting to steer straight. extra force needed to overcome resistance which causes oversteering and vehicle veered into next lane. this issue has become progressively more dangerous until now the vehicle is unsafe to drive.

I'm the original and only owner of the vehicle, which has less than 36,000 miles. my civic has only ever been serviced by honda dealerships, and i can provide maintenance records upon request. a failure of this nature to the braking system can only be caused by a defective part. in fact, i had my brakes inspected by honda at 33,000 miles, and honda gave my brakes a clean bill of health. while driving my vehicle, the brake pedal suddenly was unable to be depressed except with extreme foot pressure; it felt like a brick had been placed under my brake pedal. the stopping power was substantially diminished. it took multiple, very strong brake pumps to slow and stop my vehicle, meaning i was unable to stop in the event of an emergency. i took the car immediately to a honda dealership. ultimately, honda replaced by brake booster, which they noted was defective, but charged me for the repair because the time (but not mileage) had elapsed on my warranty.

The car steering wheel stick and is jerky when driving. there are multiple sites with forum and videos of people experiencing the same issue.

I experienced a total catastrophic failure of the transmission with less than 55000 miles and only 5 years and 1 month old. the transmission needed to be replaced.

While driving on the freeway on 1/6/2022, the sunroof suddenly exploded above my head. it was as if something was dropped from the sky and glass fell down on my head and into the exterior of the car. i was able to maintain control of the vehicle and maintain safety but it was absolutely terrifying. this car is brand new to me as of 12/11/21. nothing was visibly wrong with the sunroof and i wasn’t driving under an underpass, so nothing could have been thrown at me from above. what is left of the tempered glass sunroof is spiderwebbed and continues to fall into the car and it is not drivable until repair.

Multiple times my 2016 honda civic has engaged the auto braking system for what appears to be no reason at all. i have had my honda brake when i do not have any vehicles, obstacles, items or obstructions anywhere in the road in front of me or beside me. when this occurs at full speed on the road the vehicles traveling behind me have had to quickly swerve into the adjacent lanes of travel to avoid a rear end collision which could have resulted in serious injury. i have also noticed that the lane departure warning system is faulty and frequently goes off steering my vehicle into the lane next to me even if there is a car occupying the lane next to me. thank you for your time and assistance.

While driving down the highway, and attempting to make minor steering adjustments, the steering wheel constantly binds. an unnatural breakout force is required to overcome this perilous situation. the result is a continual overcorrection of the vehicles trajectory within the driving lane (similar to a drunk driver). my vehicle has over 60k miles. the problem has been getting progressively worse over the last year. a google search reveals this issue is not an isolated one. it appears there may be a defect with the steering rack of these vehicles.

Air conditioner suddenly not functioning. the dealership confirmed that the ac condenser and evaporator core were leaking and needed to be replaced. the condenser was covered under an extended 10 year warranty issued by honda because of manufacture defect. however, the evaporator core is not and had to pay out of pocket for it to be repaired. i’ve have done research and have discovered that the evaporator core malfunctions just as mush as the condenser. that is why i feel honda needs to also establish an extended warranty for that part as well since they are both related. there were no indicators telling me the parts were failing.

My 2016 honda civic touring is equipped with automatic emergency braking. in more than one instance, my civic has applied the brakes unnecessarily when there was no apparent danger. traveling on the highway at 65 mph, i have been 'cut-off' by a driver and the brakes were applied hard. there was no way to override the braking and the car commanded itself to a complete stop. the drivers immediately behind me had to brake hard and if they hadn't maintained control there would have been a pile-up. this took place in cobb county, ga during rush hour on 75s in the 'northwest corridor' area. this is a high traffic density area.

The 10th gen honda civics are having steering problems related to eps. the steering will become stuck while driving, especially at speeds higher than 45 mph. the steering becomes stiff and you must pull the wheel hard to gain control back and then the wheel goes right back to being stiff. it is difficult to keep the vehicle straight and to turn the vehicle. there are no warning lights coming on. multiple forums of owners having similar issues and honda dealerships not knowing what the problem is or how to fix it. the car veers off into other lanes with traffic. this first began to happen about 3 months ago. never had any issues with steering prior to this case.

Paint chipping off. according to 2 different body shops, this is a factory issue with improper priming. honda of north america is refusing to acknowledge and repair the car.

I’ve had this car for about 1 year now. on the 4th month of having the vehicle i got the battery replaced by the dealer for free. now here we are a year later and my car is having the same issue. when i go to crank it, it stutters as if it doesn’t want to turn on than turns on. i went to autozone and they said battery needs to be changed again. which makes no sense because never in my life have i had to change a battery 2x in year & it’s practically still a new vehicle. i started to investigate and when i go in my trunk that i barely use. i have a little bucket with things i keep in it. the bucket was filled with water as if it was leaking from the tail light area. so my trunk is soaked. i’ve noticed before a little moisture back there but i thought nothing of it. i wonder if others are having the same issue or they may not have noticed yet. the vehicle getting wet in the inside can become a very big electrical & rust issue. which is very unsafe, can lead to things like a fire or even mildew which can get you sick breathing in it. i feel this matter should be addressed and investigated immediately! for not only the safety of my self but the other civic drivers !

The electronic power steering is failing and causing the vehicle to swerve, get stuck in one direction, and sway into other lanes almost striking other vehicles. the vehicle is a huge safety concern on the road. i myself have had to roughly pull my steering before crashing into another vehicle. at times, the vehicle looses traction while actively driving because of the steering becoming stiff and stuck. the vehicle has been brought into honda, they confirmed the power steering rack is failing and will continue to diminish over time thus causing the vehicle to crash. multiple other hondas have been brought in for the same issue according to honda and stated the steering rack part has no estimated time when the part would be in the shop. i was told it could take anywhere from a week to months before honda receives the necessary part. there are no warning lights appearing but honda did confirm the steering rack is failing more and more and there’s nothing they can do for it yet. i’m not sure how people are supposed to drive a car that is bound to crash into someone? the part itself is no where to be found easily, so do honda owners pray they do not crash?

Steering wheel sticks causing driver to have to exert extra force to "snap" back to normal steering. problem happens in both directions and is more noticeable on warmer days after driving for 30 or more minutes. there are forums on the internet with multiple persons reporting the same problem. i see there are 154 steering complaints on this site. most of them are for the same issue. this problem can surprise a driver at times. it is very annoying and distracting. i am hoping it does not get worse than it already is. please do something about this safety issue.

The steering "sticks" especially at high speeds which causes the car to swerve. it is a safety hazard as the steering is not smooth and it bumps the car towards other lanes. a mechanic said it could not be readily determined what the problem is and the dealer stated this is not covered by any warranty. no warning lights or check engine lights are on.

Steering sticks. takes additional force to push against the stiffness for just a minor adjustment. wheels jerk towards that direction and you then have to steer in opposite direction to correct. but you are also pushing against that stiffness in the other direction, too. people must think i'm a drunk driver as the car jumps back and forth in the lane. cannot smoothly adjust the wheel to keep the car in a straight line. it happens intermittently. car starting doing this after 6 years and 48k miles. a search of honda civic car forums and on here shows others describing the same issue. for those who were under warranty, honda replaced the power steering rack.

I own a 2016 honda civic ex, that had the condenser issue. my condenser has failed for the 3rd time in 6 years. i faced the first issue in 2018, but was re-imbursed for the damages in 2021. the second issue was in 2019 and it was covered under the condenser warranty extension the third issue is in 2022 and the american honda representative told me that i might have to pay out of pocket since the warranty extension was covered only for condensers installed in the factory. in short, i'm having to come to the dealer every 1-2 years for a condensor replacement. if the warranty does not cover my repair, then i'll have to shell out a high sum of money for replacement. this can't be done at a local garage due to a unique refrigerant used in the vehicles. all in all, i'm sick of the repeated repairs with my condensor.

Air conditioning unit slowly quit blowing out cold air. actually it happened in 2020. i read there was a problem with the unit holding freon.

Both honda fit 2012 and honda civic 2016 door actuators do not work properly not allowing the door to unlock or lock consistently

My 2016 honda civic has the following problem. the steering "sticks" and is very sensitive to turning when it "catches". it is getting worse and is way worse at interstate speeds. it causes the vehicle to swerve sometimes when correcting and could make you overcorrect and lose traction and run off the road or into another lane of traffic very easily. it will be at a honda dealership within the week to be officially diagnosed but it is definitely a safety issue and it barely has 60,000 miles on it. no warning lights are displayed.

The a/c was not functioning. it was not blowing cold air. the a/c suction hose was leaking. the a/c suction hose was replaced and refrigerant was added. after the repair, the a/c functioned normally.

A/c compressor had to be replaced after 3.5 years of purchased. after 2.5 years, ac is blowing hot air again.

This vehicle is having electrical problems due to rodents and the oil smells like gasoline

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 50 mph, the steering wheel failed to respond immediately however, abruptly the steering wheel responded causing the vehicle to veer into the other lane. the contact stated that the failure was ongoing. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact stated that after slowing down, the vehicle operated as designed. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The steering wheel sticks intermittently. about 50% of the time, when making minor inputs to maintain lane, the steering wheel will "resist" and require additional pressure. when additional pressure is applied the steering wheel suddenly "breaks free" and causes over-steering. this over-steering causes lots of swerving and occasionally causes me to leave my lane. i have nearly been in several head-on accidents. the issue does not occur every time i drive the vehicle but when it starts, it continues until i stop and turn the vehicle off. the issue happens at all speeds. there are no warning lights or indicators on the dash. the issue started a couple days after taking the vehicle home after purchasing. there are 25000 miles on the vehicle and the vehicle will be in the shop next week.

I drive a 2016 honda civic ex and the steering is sticky and jerky when driving. this doesn't seem very safe when driving especially at highway speeds when the steering sticks then jerks either to the left or right when trying to get the steering to unstick. there have been tons of reported problems of the same issue by other honda civic owners of the same generation car who most have said the electric power steering rack is the issue. i have brought the car to the dealer to figure out the problem and while they acknowledged that something wasn't right, told me that they don't know what's causing it and therefore won't bother replacing any parts to try and fix it. while the car was in getting looked at i was then told that there were no lights or codes that were shown even though something is clearly wrong. this steering issue has been going on for over a year and it has yet to be figured out. https://youtu.be/w5x_cavhxmm- this is exactly what is happening.

After approximately 20k miles, the steering began to "stick". when the issue occurs, it takes more force than usual to turn the wheel slightly, causing me to have to over-correct to center the car. the issue usual occurs during highway driving and after the outside temperature rises. for example, the problem appears to go away during the winter, but re-appear during spring and summer. i have brought the vehicle in for inspection to the original dealer who failed to reproduce the issue.

The steering wheel sticks in the center making it hard to make steering adjustments without overcorrecting and moving out of driving lanes. i am constantly veering from left to right when trying to steer car in a straight line. it is worse at higher speeds and very tiring to drive the car. when my wife informed the dealer, they said someone will get back to her. it has been 3 weeks. the car is so unsafe to drive especially highway speeds that we take our other car when possible. took car to repair shop and they agreed with our concern a search on the internet shows a major concern with these cars about this steering issue

In late winter of 2022, the car’s a/c system failed for the fourth time. the car a/c system stopped functioning; it was no longer blowing cool air into the car. the diagnosis was that the a/c compressor was leaking. the a/c compressor was replaced and we were charged $2027. we paid the bill and asked honda to reimburse us for the amount because after 4 failures in 3 years it was obvious that the civic a/c system design was flawed. honda refused to pay for the compressor replacement.

Our car’s a/c system failed for the third time. it was no longer blowing cool air into the car interior. the diagnosis was, the a/c o-ring was leaking. the o-ring was replaced. we were charged for the o-ring replacement $541. after paying the bill honda reimbursed us for the amount.

The a/c was not functioning. it failed for the second time. it was not blowing cold air. the a/c condenser failed. the condenser was replaced under the honda warranty.

Steering wheel sticks when driving at highway speeds and requires some force to correct in lane. this causes over-correction and vehicle moves in a jerky motion. no lights are on and this is extremely dangerous

My 2016 honda civic is having issues with the steering. when driving the car at 50 mph or above, the steering wants to pull to the left and it feels sticky and hard to turn back to keep in the lane and you have to turn hard and feel you will over correct and run off road. the car has about 50,000 miles on it. this is a safety issue because it make me over correct when driving. no warning lights are on.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel momentarily seized; requiring additional force to steer the vehicle. the contact indicated that the failure would occur when turning in either direction. the failure was intermittent. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the local dealer and manufacturer were not yet notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

The condensor on my 2016 honda civic sedan is not working again. the condenser was replace by recall 2 years ago, i went on a trip to nebraska last year from utah, and a rock punctured the system. i go to use my car this spring and the ac doesn't work again. i took it into ken garff riverdale of utah, and i was just informed the condenser has seized yet again, and they are hoping that none of the motor fragments are in the system. or the call it the "black death" and the whole internal system of the vehicle has to be replaced. i was sold a lemon of a car from larry h miller murray of utah. i am now close to $15,000 in repairs on this stupid car.

Steering issue with car drifting out of lane. trying to recenter the vehicle in the lane there is resistance, and it requires an extra jerk to move the car back into the center of the lane. this happens repeatedly. this happens after about 30 minutes of driving. when driving on an interstate at high speed this creates a safety issue. many others have reported a similar issue. it appears honda is aware of this issue, and right now the fix is to replace the steering rack to correct a problem with a sensor when the car warms up.

The steering on this car is electronic. it feels a lot different than other cars that i drive. the steering is stiff. when trying to make minor corrections, the steering doesn't want to move, therefore, more force is required to turn the steering wheel to make the correction. when the steering eventually releases, it results in an overcorrection situation. this overcorrection is a safety issue and could result in moving into the oncoming lane of traffic.

I have been giving the run around on my car ac problem. at first dealer they said it was a part that was on recall from honda corporate that was on recall that was giving intermittent ac problem. they said it was the condenser. it ended up not fixing my issue. so after a while the ac completely stop working had a mechanic check it out and turned out it was the compressor. seems online people are having issues on all components of the ac system because it was not designed to handle the new refrigerant they use on this car. it’s to the point there’s a lawsuit please have them recall the entire ac system.

There is no eps indicator light lit but there is a "sticking" of the steering when driving at highway speeds. when the steering wheel is in the 12 o'clock position you can feel unusual tension while just lane controlling and then the tension will give when you apply greater than normal force required to stay in lanes during normal travel. it nearly is to the point of having to over-correct in order to release the tension created. there are numerous other accounts and owners in honda online forums that have reported this issue and every report has been a result of and caused by the electronic power steering rack assembly. if this component goes or forces the driver to over-correct as a result of the sticking problem this can lead to an accident.

No one was hurt. just a finder binder to my car only. the other drivrr had a truck and it didnt do any damage to back bumper.

2016 honda civic lx with 47k miles. with engine warm and driving at highway speed, steering wheel gets stuck/sticky at the 12 oclock position and requires too much force to correct, or 'unlock' (it's jerky). requires near constant correction. feels unsafe. numerous reports of what appear to be exactly the same problem are described in on-line forums such as carcomplaints.com or carproblemzoo.com - appears to be electronic power steering system problem.

The eps electronic power steering system is sticking, while driving. it wants to hold the steering wheel, which is terrifying. when you muscle the steering wheel out of its “hold” it brings heightened risk of over-compensating and losing control of the vehicle. no dash indicator/fault lights turned on. i will be having the vehicle inspected at a local honda dealer. my son confirms the same driving conditions as i have explained above, and he is a foreign car mechanic of 20+ years experience.

Most noticeable when trying to stay straight in a lane on highway or interstate going 60-80 mph. when trying to make minor adjustments left or right, the steering wheel will stick, causing it to jerk more in the direction i’m trying to steer, which causes slight over steering and having to correct back the other direction. i have to keep a death grip on the steering wheel with both hands so as not to overcorrect when i try to slightly adjust to the left or right. it’s definitely a safety issue and has the potential to cause an accident.

At highway speeds the steering on the vehicle stiffens and requires the driver to steer right or left to break the resistance on the steering wheel. steering continues to stiffen and the wheel does not loosen to maintain straight driving conditions unless driver breaks resistance continuously while driving. the force needed to break the resistance on the steering wheel could cause an accident from the car steering left or right out of the lane. honda does not acknowledge this issue but will charge thousands to diagnose and replace parts that may or may not fix the issue. the steering wheel resistance is a safety hazard due to it feeling stiff and locking in place requiring the driver to move the wheel in the opposite direction to loosen the steering to give the driver control while at speed.

Steering wheel has some extra resistance (sticking) when making small corrections at highway speeds, resulting in extra pressure being applied to break the resistance, resulting in sharp (hard) correction changes.

At high speeds, sometimes my steering wheel has a tendency to “catch” at the center line when i attempt to keep the car straight. to overcome this resistance, i have to apply extra pressure, which often leads to over-steering. this feels very dangerous, and i do not let anyone drive my car for fear that they will overcompensate and swerve into other lanes or oncoming traffic. there are over a hundred complains with this exact issue, and needs to be addressed.

I am not an alarmist. i am a retired porsche mechanic (42 years) so i have a decent grasp of how a vehicle should perform. the steering on my civic is very notchy. when i am making a sweeping curve at highway speeds (especially to the right) and i try to straighten the steering wheel as the curve ends, it wants to stick to the right then breaks loose and often jerks the car to the left. it is even difficult to maintain the vehicle smoothly in the center of the lane when traveling straight due to this stickiness in the steering. this is not a one time occurrence. it happens very consistently and maybe worst in warm weather. i know this is a fairly common problem with the civic as i see many people complaining about it on civic forums on line. i thought it may be something honda would be interested in recalling.

Brakes they stop too slow and i need to push fes time to made it stop, that made me very insecure and unsafe. ac stop working is only hot air what is coming out, since is to hot is impossible ti drive like that.

The center console under the radio is not equipped to hold anything like a phone or something of similar size. when accelerating, the phone or item will become unsecured and fall. in this particular incident, it caused my phone to slide backwards and undo my seatbelt while driving. a car was about to rear end me as this was happening. this is not the first time this has happened. this could be incredibly dangerous and cause a restrained driver to suddenly become unrestrained and before an accident. the center console is not large enough or secure enough to hold a phone or similar item. this is also where they would place a wireless charging pad so it is intended for your phone to sit in the center console under the radio.

Ac compressor failed resulting in all refrigerant to leaking out of system. by law automotive refrigerant is required to be recycled as to not pollute the environment, honda replaced the ac condenser because a lawsuit found that holes in the ac condenser tubes resulted in refrigerant leaking from the system and inevitable the failure of the ac system. ac system was inspected and found that the ac compressor had leaked and is defective. from doing some research it turns out that the ac compressor on hondas is a common issue a lot of honda owners have, spending thousands to replace the defective part. also from all these defective compressors so much of the refrigerant ends up leaking and polluting the environment.

When traveling at highway speeds the steering wheel “catches” at center and feels almost stuck in position. this causes for over correction and an unsafe driving experience

At highway speeds the car has problems with the steering sticking, and when it releases it jerks into the other lane . this has happened several times almost causing a wreck. i have reported it to honda in the past and the technician could not find anything, or so they said

Structure --- : 2016-2019 civic c-pillar paint peel in rear window area

Electric power steering after driving on hot days becomes resistant to turning the wheel at higher speeds. requires about 5lbs of force to the wheel and then it gives way and causes a more abrupt turn than driver is attempting.

Adaptive cruise control as well as automatic braking has come close several times to cause an accident on the highway. sometimes a truck will be passing me in the left lane and the car will all of a sudden slam on brakes when there is nothing in front of me almost getting rear ended from the car behind me. even when the cruise control isn’t set the automatic breaking will activate randomly when a large truck is passing me. i purchased this vehicle used and reported this to the dealer time of purchase but they did not fix it. but at the time it was not as noticeable. the car has less than 100,000 miles. the lane departure does not work pulling the car to oncoming traffic. in oncoming traffic in left lane it constantly causes the automatic breaking light to flash. this also randomly kicks off the cruise control. this situation seems to be getting worse. the form below is asking for a date that these incidents happen and does not give a place to say it happens every day, it’s only asking for a specific date. one day this is going to cause a severe accident.

At highway speeds when it is warm and the vehicle has been driven for 20-30 minutes the steering becomes sticky. it is most noticeable at freeway speed when attempting minor corrections to maintain good lane position. the steering wheel resists minor effort to turn and then breaks loose causing an over correction, potentially as far as into another lane.

I was driving through an intersection, the car ahead of me was turning right and i was behind them with plenty of distance. they turned right and i followed straight. however my emergency braking system decided the car was very close, and better yet after it had already turned, decided i was about to have a collision with nobody in front of me and stopped my car in the middle of the intersection, while the light turned red. i desperately got my car to go, after abruptly stopping for no reason, but safe to say i was shaken up a bit and turned that off. happened today of this complaint 8/5/2022. and it’s happened before on curvy roads, once where my car came to a abrupt stop and other times false alarms to “brake”.

Received recall notice on my vehicle per cylinder 2 & 3 misfiring. i brought my vehicle into service and i was told this recall did not apply to my vehicle as it was specific civics that had this problem (with my vin on this recall) honda then took this notice and disposed of it. i received another recall for drivability of my vehicle, still nothing done. about a year later my car was in and out of honda due to my check engine light being illuminated. this was the trend from at least october 30, 2021 to present time. when my vehicle was brought in due to the check engine light being illuminated and the vehicle juddering, honda replaced the solenoid purge valve as it was misfiring ($147). october 29, 2021 preformed a transmission fluid service ($159.95) and brake system fluid flush ($129.87) which i never approved of as i have never done any flush on any of my vehicles. december 10, 2021 my car was loosing power while car had only been running for less than 5 minutes, then died out in the middle of the road. had car towed to honda for diagnostic once again.. they performed a valve adjustment and replaced the gasket cover ($408.10). which did not fix the problem but i was still responsible for the bill. resulting in a “cracked engine” block per honda’s diagnosis after all this extra work was put into my vehicle. i was giving a diagnosis of cylinders 2 and 3 being below specification (exact recall on vehicle, cylinders 2 and 2 under specification) resulting in the car needing a new engine, priced out to about $10,000 for a used engine and labor. honda refuses to do anything about this problem.

Same problem others have reported. at highway speeds the steering will become hard to manage and if going into a curve very dangerous. when this happens have to pull over at next exit and shut car off. dealership service department claims the vsa modulator needs replacing (at a cost of 1500$).

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 5 mph. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the contact returned the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the catalytic convertor had failed and that the inner cooler with gaskets was defective. the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. the contact had returned the vehicle to the dealer. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 236,000.

Steering sticks when driving on the highway. when make small steering adjustments it has resistance, then suddenly becomes easy. this can cause oversteering when correcting.

Ac compressor is leaking causing damage to the rest of the system and in the winter frost to build up on the inside of the car and during the summer the humidity in the car become so much your windows fog up to dangerous conditions.

Car abruptly pulls to the passenger side and requires significant force to keep car centered on the road. the system then lets go and car overcorrects into incoming lane requiring quick reaction to prevent car from hitting oncoming vehicles. this issue occurs on nearly every use of the vehicle especially if driven more than 30 min. the design of this car is drive by wire and there is no mechanical link between steering wheel and rack and pinion. this problem seems unrelated to the avoidance system as it happens when it is both on and off. honda dealership seems unconcerned with the issue even though there is a recall for that same issue for both the 2017 and 2018 model years. the issue was related to a magnet for a sensor within the rack.

Tire size: 215 / 50 r 17 while driving on a highway, a tire pressure warning appeared. shortly after, thetpms malfunction light came on and immediately the driver side rear tire blew out. my car spun 360 degrees and i managed to bring it to a stop. luckily the cars behind me slowed down while i maneuvered to the curb. i was on a drawbridge and i could have driven off of it into the water below. the tread of the tire completely separated from the side walls of the tire. all that was left on the rim were the two side walls. i recovered the tread and i have the wheel with the side walls still on it. i showed it to the dealer and the service technicians had no idea about what happened. as of now the manufacturer has not been made aware. this 2016 honda civic was purchased from a dealer and there are still 3 of the same tire on the car. i drove the remaining distance to my destination on the rim where i put on the spare. i couldn’t change the tire where the blowout happened because i was on a bridge with very little shoulder.

Steering wheel has some extra resistance (sticking, stiff and jerky) when making small corrections at any speeds, resulting in extra pressure being applied to break the resistance, resulting in sharp (hard) correction changes.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was drifting and failed to move as needed and continued to jerk. the contact forced the steering wheel into position however, the action would overcorrect the vehicle. the contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was jerking and the vehicle was difficult to turn. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer again where it was diagnosed and determined that the power steering rack needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 47,466.

My paint is peeling off around the rear windshield of the car. not sure what is causing this. my honda civic is a cobalt blue color, when brought to the dealer it was stated they have seen this on the color blue my car is as well as white. car was not in a accident and no one is at risk.

The bt will lag & skip while listening to music. also, the home screen will malfunction & return to the default screen & beep constantly (during driving operations).

I have contacted honda about the ( epb) problem. they refuses to aknowedge the issue because my vin number did not show up. the problem is there and i had it comfrim by a mechanic. there was no warning before hand till one day when day when engaging the parking brake the warning light came on and would not engaged. the only way was to cut the car off and restart it again. i am unable to park on a hill because of this problem and afraid of the system failing all together.

Although my car runs fine and the check engine light (or any other warning light) did not illuminate, my car suddenly went into limp mode. i was on the i-90 east freeway out of seattle, just heading into a tunnel plus a bridge. everyone was going about 65 (as was i), and suddenly i'm cut down to about 20 mph with no shoulder to turn onto. i'm surprised i didn't cause a huge pile-up - as cars curved toward the tunnel and into relative darkness, they had to suddenly slam on their breaks. i guess it would be one thing if limp mode engaged because my engine was about to blow up. but my mechanic found no error codes, nothing wrong. i am reading similar stories all over the internet and never have i once seen a case in which an engine had a catastrophic problem that justified limp mode. is honda waiting around for a fatality before they'll issue a recall? they came very close to having one on the day this happened to me, and there have surely been many other near-misses. i'm afraid to drive on the freeway now!

Paint is chipping around the back windshield and is starting to cause paint chipping towards the top of the vehicle. have never been in a collision.

Transmission failed

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while her husband was driving 60 mph and turning the steering wheel to the right, the vehicle would drift to the left. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the driver was able to continue driving to his destination. the contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the vehicle needed an alignment. the vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. the manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that on numerous occasions while the vehicle was idling or driving at various speeds, she depressed the accelerator pedal however, the rpm’s increased and the engine revved; however, there was an extended delay before the vehicle responded. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was notified of the failure, and an appointment was scheduled. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vin was not included in a recall. the failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

Typically during highway driving, steering becomes extremely sticky and requires significant effort to make even slight adjustments to keep the car on the road and even forces over correction which has occurred on multiple occasions

Unknown got on wrong highway because wippers malfunction in heavy rain

1st steering wheel pops on highway 65+mph, i've taken my vehicle to dealership to get diagnosed supposedly couldn't find anything wrong, i've even taken a service rep for a drive to show them what is happening they noticed but service told him not to do anything! second issue squealing noise coming from wheel bearings i took my car to 2 different shops, honda and wheel shop both places can't determine where noise is coming from!

Exploding sunroof: (editing from an email to honda on june 13, 2022) i have had numerous hondas (and civics) over the years and bought a 2016 honda civic (with extended warranty (just expired i think). while driving from oregon to california (for a conference in asilomar) june 13, 2022 on hwy 680, i heard a noise and thought someone had hit me - but didn't see any car. i pulled off the freeway and pulled over and examined the car and see that the sunroof had exploded. i stopped at envision honda (milpitas) to ask them about it and see what it would take to repair (they had mentioned they had heard that happening to several others), then proceeded to valstrough honda (seaside) closer to my conference - i asked them to order the part ($541.72 + labor (they didn't have anyone there at the time to quote (the previous dealer thought ~$146). the dealer in seaside thinks the part should be in on wed and i hope to have it replaced. i have not had time to see how much of the roof or trunk has been scratched (one of the employees at envison pointed it out to me) had i not had the visor closed the glass presumably would have come into the car, and likely causing me to have an accident - this is a huge safety issue. the glass did stream behind my car, but luckily did not cause an accident as far as i know. i have started googling the issue and see others such as the person below had a nearly identical experience. i think that honda should pay for the repairs to my vehicle; as well as put out a warning. i believe that this could easily led to deaths of some drivers in the future. update: i was charged $541.72 + 245.00= $786.72 for the repair richard sniezko 541-954-6793 https://www.wesh.com/article/hundreds-of-sunroofs-spontaneously-exploding/30970599 https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/exploding-sunroof-cases-head-to-court/

Driving on the highway i started to feel the steering stick while keeping the car centered in my lane. to release the steering stick issue a stronger input was needed by me to control the car. it seemed to me the steering sticking issue occurs only at highway speed. this started with about 32,000 miles on the car. although it never became an actual safety issue there was always the fear the steering would lock up and i would not be able to control the steering. at no time was there any visual indication (warning light(s)) for the condition. i have not taken the car to the dealership for inspection. police nor insurance company were notified over this issue. the auto is available for inspection.

The back up camera does not work if the car is put into reverse immediately after starting the car. the honda logo appears on the screen and the car still reverses. if you put the car back in park and then move it back to reverse, usually the camera will come on. sometimes, the car has to be restarted for the backup camera to work. i did not know this was something that needed to be reported until i saw that ford recalled several of their vehicles for this same issue.

Small evap leak around fuel tank and fuel pump sealing surface. top of fuel tank is rusted causing pump to not seal fully.

Every time my 2016 civic is driven for about 30 minutes straight above 60 mph the steering starts to become stiff and jerky. it feels as if the steering wheel locks into place and you must pull on the steering wheel to get it out of position while driving causing serious danger to myself and those driving near me. people who have driven behind me while the issue has happened have notified me that it looks like a drunk driver is at the wheel due to the jerking that needs to be done to get the steering wheel out of position. driving speed limit on the expressway after 30 minutes has become a hazard and is very unfortunate due to the car only being about 6 years old. it has been going on for quite some time now and is a frequent issue that is popped up on civic forums for models 2016-2019.

Abs malfunction. the malfunction problem showed up on the dash and the car would not drive properly causing several messages to come on. once i stopped and turned off the car i started if back up and went a few yard and the car started to malfunction and the message appeared again. i immediately called a foreign car specialist and was told there is a recall. i looked up the recall and it stated the same exact issue for honda civics years 2016-2022. i have had the car towed to two auto shops and both stated that there is a recall for the problem i am having and that they are seeing more of this issue on the civics. i am a dialysis patient and need reliable transportation. i have about 8 months left to pay the car note in full and would really appreciate it if this could be addressed. sincerely i am, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 55 mph, the vehicle shuddered, and the electric parking brake (epb) warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed as an abs system module failure. the contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 (parking brake). the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

Slight momentary resistance to turning the wheel, usually only on long interstate drives

Steering wheel has become stuck/jerky on the freeway. this causes me to swerve all over the road. the wheel sticks after it's been still for more than a couple seconds. to make a steering correction to stay in my lane i need to apply more force to make a small adjustment. this causes the car to swerve when the steering wheel breaks free. then it sticks in the new position, and i end swerving the other way when it breaks free again. dealer says only fix is to replace entire steering rack and wants $3500 for repair. car has 55000 miles and is no longer under warranty. called an independent honda repair shop to get an estimate. the independent shop told me they have replaced a few. problem apparently affects many civics from model year 2016 through 2022. unfortunately, the replacement rack is the same part number and has failed the same way again in some cars. this should be a safety recall and repaired ant hondas expense.

Steering system console. remove and replace rack and pinion assembly

When car is driven above 40 mph the steering wheel sticks. extra effort is required to maintain midline steering. extra effort is required to break the persistent sticking pattern, which can cause loss of control.

Emergency brake failed and gives following code in the dash: red blinking light- brake yellow light: brake system there was a recall back in 2016 because of this same problem. more than 300,000 cars affected.

At highway speeds while trying to keep the vehicle straight and in my lane, the steering sticks while trying to make minor adjustments to stay in my lane. i have to apply more force to my steering and i end up overcorrecting and it becomes very hard to stay straight and in my lane. this is only at highway speeds, anywhere from 60-75 mph, i have not noticed this happening at lower speeds. it seems something is happening with with the steering wheel or something in the electronic power steering system is malfunctioning. there are no warning lights on my car, i have talked to several certified honda master technicians about this issues and they recognize the symptoms and tell me it is the electronic power steering rack having issues. my vehicle has only 42,000 miles.

Steering catches at highway speeds for a split second.

While operating the vehicle on the highway the steering was not smooth when starting to turn the wheel. there was a short hesitation or loss of power assistance while turning to follow the direction of the roadway. this occurrence was very brief while turning the steering wheel. the steering problem lasted for several days. later when taking the vehicle to be inspected for this problem there was no steering difficulty at all. the vehicle was inspected, computer analyzed and test driven finding no fault with the steering. although there seems to be no problem at this time it is unknown if this could possibly be an "intermittent problem"?

An internal steering rack failure is involuntarily interfering with the electronic power steering system making the steering sticking or notchy at speeds under 45 mph. at highway speeds this same internal failure causes a prevalent and strong steering drift. then upon correction to center the steering sticks and then releases to give back control. sometimes this happens 3 times a minute. the longer you drive the more frequent the failure mode happens. after four hours of driving my arms were tired. on 23 mar 2023 the vehicle was inspected by a certified honda dealer technician including a 4 mile drive test. the inspection report declared that the "steering rack has an internal failure causing the steering to feel notchy". to remedy the problem the dealer recommended a steering rack assembly change out which would entail about 5 hours of labor. an alignment was also recommended. including the assembly part, alignment, labor and inspection report the total came to approximately $4800. i decided to take the car from the dealer and with a friend record the number of failure instances and video the highway speed failure mode. the dealer had advised me on the inspection report invoice that the "vehicle is not safe to drive" but i also didn't want the car to be held hostage for $4800. on 27 march 2023 i called american honda to request assistance with this repair. the 2016 honda civic model year has the highest number of steering complaints from 2010 to 2022. the replacement steering rack part is in its third iteration. my car was made in dec 2015 in the early production on a new generation. even though my car has 73,000 miles honda should recall these early steering rack models and replace them at their expense providing a safe steering rack assembly to their customers. a copy of the vehicle inspection report and invoice is attached. note that that the vehicle is declared not safe to drive by the honda dealer and i am stranded away from home awaiting a fair resolution

I love my civic and i debated if reporting the issue, but in the interest of safety here it is: when you have to brake hard and suddenly (someone cuts you off) the car loses power (will not accelerate just coasts) for a second or two, but it seems like an eternity if you are in an intersection trying to get out of the way of aggresive traffic. after that power is back and the car is as excellent as it always has been. incident has happened 3 or 4 times since i got the car in 2016.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the electronic braking system, steering, alternator, check engine, and tpms warning lights illuminated. after shifting into drive(d), the vehicle lost power steering functionality and became difficult to turn. the braking system warning light remained illuminated. the vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic and the contact was informed electronic power steering rack and pinion had failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure was 46,000.

The investigation into the complaint that the honda civic steering becomes stiff at higher speeds and after driving for a while needs to include 2016 models. this has been noticeable on the highway and is becoming way more problematic as the car ages. i've noticed this for a while - maybe from the original purchase of the car. it is getting worse though as the second hour of our trip was almost unbearable and felt very unsafe.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 40 mph, the steering wheel became firm and jerked. additionally, while at a complete stop, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. the contact stated that her father inspected the vehicle and stated that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Highway driving in the mountains. when making minor, stay-in-my-lane corrections the steering stopped being smooth. it felt like it was binding or sticking and would require more pressure to change direction then it would pop to another sticky spot. it sometimes adjusted too much and required a re-correction in the opposite direction. at no time was this enough to cause me to steer out of my lane but it was alarming.

First ac condenser went out now theres a problem (leakage) with the ac evaporator. ive been hearing this happening to alot of the same hondas!

The transmission failed in the middle of a busy boulevard. i was waiting, then attempting to drive forward to make a u-turn. the speed limit was 55 mph, cars were honking and had to change lanes not to hit me - and it was raining. the car was towed to our local dealer where we purchased and seek all maintenance on the car (and 3 previous hondas). we were told a belt may have broken and that it had to be replaced; the cost $6400. there were no warning lamps or messages. probably not relevant but the dealer could not replace the transmission as none are available currently and there is no available estimation of when one would come available. we had to choose between trading the car in without a transmission or (what we chose) have the dealer install a used transmission.

The power steering on the 2016 honda civic. while driving it is hard to gain control over the vehicle and the steering wheel tends to lock in place. it is unknown if the problem has been reproduced. the vehicle has been inspected by others. there is no warning lamps or message prior to failure.

Air conditioner not working

Just bought vehicle during march. still winter in northern michigan. and this month in april i've noticed with the warmer days the steering sticks directly dead center at highway speeds. and requires a bit of force to be able to maintain direction. once getting it "unstuck" it usually causes oversteering. causing panic and almost getting me pulled over numerous times. my drive is an hour home from work. at 70+mph. never been so aggravated to drive a vehicle i've only had for a month and a half. vehicle only has 60,000mi. took to two techs. both have stated it's common and that there's no presented diagnosis besides a faulty eps module from the factory. hate this vehicle.

On 4/16/23, i noticed that the paint surrounding my rear window is peeling from the body of the car. there have been no dings nor accidents; the paint just started peeling. obviously, this is not a safety issue, but i have read that honda has had issues with defective paint with other models.

All engine lights flashed while driving, check engine light remained on after all others went off, emission system warning keeps prompting attention, and car just slowed to only 8 mph as i was driving down the road. available for inspection any day. i had my 7 month old child in the backseat and almost got slammed in the back while going down the road as my car slowed abruptly as i was driving. nothing was wrong prior, and i took it to a service department when i went for my oil change, but it was going to be very costly to just hook up for diagnostic testing. car ran at normal speed after this incident, but engine sounds louder and rougher and check engine light and warnings are still present.

The a/c began to take longer and longer to cool the car. after not driving the car for a year due to illness, i drove it again and the a/c blew nothing but hot air. after an initial google search i discovered honda had extended a warranty to 10 years for defective a/c condensers. however, i cannot find a recall for this repair anywhere. i've taken the car to a mechanic and was quoted a price of $1200 repair the condenser.

The steering wheel sometimes get "sticky" and hard to move. it is dangerous because sometimes you have to drag the steering wheel to get it unstuck. there have been multiple reports on the same issue with my car and newer models. there are no warning lights, the steering wheel just start to stick making a dangerous on the road

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger's side air bag inadvertently deployed, shattering the windshield. no injury was sustained. there was no impact to the vehicle that could have caused the passenger's side air bag to deploy. the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no failure was found. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 59,000.

Found the metal ring in the top of gas tank rusted a hole through the top of the tank. inspected by honda service center. found through emissions warning light. this is a safety risk from a no good part

When driving over 40 mph the steering sticks constantly. it is difficult to control the car and i’m fearful of over correcting. i was originally told it needed an alignment, but the problem returned. honda now states it’s the steering rack and will cost $4000. this seems to be a common problem and i feel honda should stand behind their product, as this is a huge safety concern.

The steering is "sticky" especically after running the car for 10 minutes or more. a slight movement of the steering wheel - feels like it gets stuck and have to put more effort moving the wheel. then the wheel will let loose and over compensate the steering. very dangerous. this has happened on and off for 2 years or so, but now happens every time we drive the car. took to the local honda dealer and they said the rack and pinion system needs replaced. the estimate for replacement is $4,200. i have seen that there are many other people with the problem and hope that a recall will happen soon.

Steering "sticks" when making minor adjustments left or right to maintain direction, particularly on the highway. the force required to overcome the resistance causes it to overcorrect in the other direction. wheels have recently been balanced and aligned by authorized honda dealer.

The air conditioning system has failed. safety is at risk due to elevated temperatures. thousands of people have complained about these issues. hsb 19-091 does not go far enough, honda needs to recall the entire a/c system and repair these manufacturer defects.

Steering has become extremely sticky. extra force must be taken to maintain position in lane. the pressure required to turn the wheel past the catchy position causes the vehicle to maneuver excessively making it difficult to remain in the proper lane. this is extremely dangerous on wet roads at highway speeds.

There is stickiness in the steering. when driving on the highway in a straight direction, there is an initial resistance or stickiness to turn the wheel from the neutral position.

The steering wheel sticks around the center point when left still for a few seconds. this leads to resistance in the steering when trying to make adjustments after driving straight. i am open to having the issue inspected. the main issue this leads to is oversteering, which is a serious safety concern especially when i am driving at higher speeds on the road. greater force is needed to make adjustments when it sticks at the center line and results in longer reaction time for steering response and swerving when too much force is applied to unstick the steering. i haven't yet taken it to service center, but this issue continues to persist while i drive, so i don't have any worries about it being able to be reproduced. it also seems that this is becoming a more prevalent issue with this generation of honda civics, so i am not the only one experiencing this issue. no other symptoms predated the onset of the steering issue.

Hello, i've had my 2016 honda civic lx for almost 4 years now and noticed within the first year that the steering seemed to start getting "sticky" once i reach speeds over 35 mph. i brushed it off with the excuse that i live in a hot area, and maybe some things that i just don't understand are happening with the components. yet, throughout the last year (55k-65k miles) it's becoming unbearable. to be specific, when i'm on the highway and i turn the vehicle towards the left or the right, the entire steering wheel feels like it catches on some kind of notch. this "catch" results in me having to use excessive force to steer the vehicle in the direction i'm trying to go. this makes me very concerned and nervous when i'm changing lanes, turning onto a street, or even simply following the curve of the road, as it can cause jerking motion and overcorrection. i've brought the vehicle into a honda dealership before and the mechanic said he noticed what i was talking about, but was unsure of the cause. it did not get resolved, as i don't have the money to throw random components at it. this is my only vehicle and daily driver, i would be open to making it available for inspection. i have not had any one besides the dealership look into the problem. there has been no warning lights in the dash, and no other issues with this vehicle. the first experience i have with the sticky steering was 2020, at around 35k miles.

Steering is sticking at hwy speeds. over corrects hard to the left and/or right while i'm trying to keep the vehicle center. it is a continuous issue.

Steering wheel becomes stiff when driving at highway speeds, especially after the car has been operating for at least 20 minutes. the experience is similar to turning your steering wheel with the ignition off and no power assist. i thought i was going to lose control of the vehicle as i fought the steering wheel to stay centered in my lane and had to immediately pull over to the shoulder on the highway. first time it happened was september of 2020. when it continued, i no longer drove on the highway. i also experienced the issue when driving through a roundabout at 5 mph. it felt like the steering wheel locked up and i nearly crashed into the median before regaining control. almost three years later, it continues to happen at highway speeds so i took it to the dealership for diagnosis because i only have 24,000 miles on the vehicle and cannot take it on road trips. dealer confirmed the electronic power steering rack needs to be replaced at a cost of $4,000.00. this is a 2016 honda civic purchased new with only 24,000 miles to date and is undriveable at highway speeds due to safety issues and the dealer actually diagnosed a defective electronic power steering rack. service tech said "too bad you don't own the 2017 civic because a recall was issued for the power steering and you'd be covered 100%." this is an extremely expensive repair for a known defect. please issue a recall for the 2016 honda civic electronic power steering system. customers should not have to pay for the repair out of pocket for a defective part.

Unknown, rear ended another vehicle no damage occurred

I have had multiple problems with the vehicles air conditioning system leaking and adding harmful hfc chemicals to the atmosphere and making driving uncomfortable on warm days. there are known issues with honda years 2016-2018 air conditioning systems and they should be fixing these problems under warranty or recalls. my first issue of the a/c blowing warm air was 8/10/2021 and cars mileage was 49,760 miles. i brought it into a honda dealer and they stated they found high side and low side o rings leaking . they replaced them, recharged system and charged me $425.00. the next issue with blowing warm air was may 2023 and 56,311 miles. i brought the vehicle to an independent repair garage . they found a leak in the evaporator and a defective expansion valve. they replaced the evaporator core and expansion valve. this cost me another $2008.43. these year 2016-2018, honda's have many issues with the air conditioning system and all major components compressor, condenser, evaporator and the expensive refrigerant should be covered under warranty for these system leaks in multiple components. i understand honda has a 10 year warranty extension on the a/c condenser. honda needs to step up and take responsibility and fix all of the issues with the air conditioning systems and quit adding all these refrigerants to the atmosphere .

The incident started 2-3 years ago and has progressively gotten worse. when driving, for usually 20+ minutes, the steering wheel will become stiff. this is most noticeable when driving in straight lines or trying to keep the car in the lane on the highway. this requires more effort to straighten the car out which leads to oversteering. given the high speeds on the highway and impact of small movements in the steering wheel, i believe this to be a serious safety concern to occupants of the honda civics and nearby vehicles. i am unsure if a system has failed or if there is a malfunction but upon further research this appears to not be an isolated incidence with a significant amount of forum discussions relating to this exact issue. the problem has not been reproduced a this time in front of a service center representative. there has been no warning of any kind relating to this issue.

Car has an intermittent steering problem noticeable mostly at highway speeds. its not constant, just shows up randomly. while driving straight ahead attempting to keep it going straight the steering wheel becomes sticky and jerky when you attempt to slightly adjust (turn left or right). wile applying slight pressure to turn minimally the steering wheel sticks in place, then suddenly jerks in the direction you trying to steer it towards, causing oversteering and resulting in an attempt to oversteer it back to the other direction (to try and keep it in the lane going straight). it is not only annoying but also very unsafe as the sudden jerking and oversteering can cause a highway collision unexpectedly. my car has only 7,500 miles on it and this just started happening (may 2023).

The steering wheel sticks constantly while driving the car. this is a major safety concern because many times it sticks hard enough to the point where you can over correct while trying to overcome the stuck position of the steering wheel. this can cause you to drive erratically trying to keep the car between the lanes. we have not taken it to the dealership since we are aware now that this is a an issue amongst a large number of honda civic owners and the manufacture needs to step in and rectify this problem they already know about. it's not just our 2012 model, it is an issue amongst several different year models with the honda civic. we are just another victim of negligence by the manufacturer. something needs to be done to correct this issue before people are injured because of it.

This car has given me the same repeating issues. winter time the screen blinks blank. ac issues because of the design. feeling the car with my foot on the break at a red light makes me want to puke. and the big one the steering. after driving on the highway for a bit, i notice the steering has a sticky kind of groove it likes to be in. i have not found a solution to the problem. safety-camera screen blinking but you're used to using it, could potentially hit something. nausea in traffic not good for any one. steering-trying to maintain a lane while the steering gets stuck to the left but the road is veering to the right, it's terrifying. the car has a mind of its own and only performs when it wants...no official dealer report. i don't believe there are any official reports in regards to my vehicle. there have been no lights or any kind of warning or messages about this. ac was about a year into having the car. the screen happened first winter and every winter since. the sticky steering wheel has been like herpes for about the past 5 years. i just want to have nice things that work. thank you for your time.

Steering, same as other complaints. intermittent sticking of the steering wheel. constantly have to force steering wheel in order to maintain lane. steering wheel seems to lock, have to force it to stay straight. problem started couple years ago, at about 35k miles, and at 70k it is getting worse. and the cost---ha-unreal!!!

My car has had a sticky steering wheel problem for over a year now. i’m at 75k miles, the problem started at least around 60k miles. the wheel feels heavy and i have to over correct due to that stickiness. i can’t drive straight when i am on the highway. i continuously have to correct to keep the wheel straight. it does not feel safe. last year my battery died and changing the battery helped the sticky steering a little but only for a short time. i think the problem has something to do with the power steering.

The vehicle steering is sticky. when the vehicle is started, the steering is fine. however, after about 15 minutes of driving, the problem is most noticeable when trying to keep the car straight at around 40 mph and higher. when making fine adjustments to keep the car straight on the freeway, the steering gets stuck then suddenly releases when making fine adjustments. this causes the vehicle to jerk from side to side when trying to keep my vehicle in my lane...i have taken my vehicle in to 2 independent service centers but the problem seems to temporarily go away if the vehicle is turned off for a little while. only to return when i leave the service center around 15 minutes later...there are no codes or warning lights that appear...my civic is a 2016 but only has 12,400 miles. the steering problem started at around 9,000 miles.

The a/c hasn't fully worked since car was purchased in 2016. driver side blows hot air and passenger side cool (not cold) air in summer and in winter/cold months it stays warm on driver side and cool (doesn't get warm enough) on passenger side. car has been taken to dealership and issue has still not been fixed. no recall by honda regarding this issue, but lots of forums and complaints online about the same issue. car was not used for more than 3 months of summer heat last year after being "fixed" and once the hot weather started this year it is back to 100+ degrees inside the car with no a/c cooling the car. even set to lo, fan at full speed, parked inside garage for a day, and started in the morning, the air blows hot. having to drive in a hot car is a heat stroke/exhaustion waiting to happen and a hazard to be on the road.

Sticki steering wheel on the freeway

My 2016 honda civic started blowing warm air and within 24 hours i took it to my local honda dealership and had it inspected. i was told that there were two trbs which may be related to the a/c system. after dealer inspection i was told that the mechanics noted leaks in both the condenser and the compressor shaft seal. the result of the leaks was that the these components would need to be replaced along with the a/c compressor. unfortunately i was told that the extended warranties on both of these components (10 yr unlimited mileage) would not cover the compressor replacement despite the dealership telling me that the leaks likely caused the a/c compressor failure. honda is acutely aware that these types of leaks will cause in ac component failures (condenser, compressor and evaporator) because the a/c systems are closed systems and complaints about the a/c system leaks, and their effects, are pervasive on online media forums and the auto community at large. in my case the leaks due to the failure of the condenser and compressor shaft seal resulted in the failure of a/c compressor. i have had the a/c system inspected by other honda certified mechanic shops and all have expressed the causality between the failed components and the compressor catastrophic failure. the fact that honda has issued "unlimited mileage" extended warranties on these 10th gen civic compressor shaft seals and condensers expresses honda's awareness that these components should not fail in the way they are doing so. like any mechanical system perfection should not be the goal but when a manufacture is aware of a failure in its product it has the responsibility to make whole those harmed by its failures. unfortunately customers, like me, who purchased hondas because the brand's reliability and strong customer service appeal will have to look elsewhere unless honda chooses to correct this clear and present issue across multiple vehicles in its lineup.

Similar to the honda recall issued today for the reverse camera failures, i have found a recurring problem with the 2016 honda civics. the dashboard screen should show the back-up camera when in reverse, as well as the backward-facing camera mounted on the right side mirror when the right turn signal is on. more often than not, the cameras will show on the screen, but will then go back to the home/default screen before the maneuver is complete. it happens more often with the right mirror mounted camera, that it turns off prior to the turn signal being turned off, which has caused us numerous close calls when someone is actually in the blind spot. we count on that right side camera and when it malfunctions and the screen goes back to default when you are in the middle of changing lanes, it is very scary. i have searched for a fix from honda and have noted that there are many honda civic owners who have been told by dealers that it is a known issue but there is no fix. for the owners who have gotten a new screen installed, they continue to report the same issues. additional screen issues (although not related to safety) include the fact that the screens change modes/functions without being touched. i believe the camera issue is a malfunctioning screen issue as a whole and causes a major safety concern. the current recall for honda odyssey, passport, and pilot cameras should be expanded to include other honda models and other years and should look at malfunctioning screens (not just cameras), especially since this is allegedly a 'known issue' to honda.

The rearview camera image may not appear. this does not happen constantly, but it will happen from time to time when reversing. sometimes the problem will not correct itself until the vehicle is restarted. i did not know that a safety recall might be needed until i just saw the recall for the same issue in the honda pilots

When a phone is placed in the designated spot on the center console under the radio, it will fly backward upon acceleration. it has caused my phone to fly backward and unstrap my seatbelt while pulling onto a busy highway. i am not the only person this has happened to. this is a design flaw. the area beneath the radio where you are supposed to place your phone is not secure enough to hold an average size phone and poses a serious risk as the center console is taller than the driver's seat. it has undone my seatbelt on more than one occasion. i would likely have been ejected from the car if someone would havce hit me while this this occurred. please recall these vehicles to fix this design flaw. it is extremely dangerous.

After driving for over :30 minutes steering wheel sticks and is jerky to turn. it has a dead spot that requires a higher breakout force to get the wheel to turn , once wheel is turning there are normal steering forces required to continue the turn.

When i am driving on the highway, my car steering will get "stuck" and i can't make adjustments to the wheel without jerking on it to get it unstuck. i am bringing the car in to get serviced again this week. the sticking results in unsafe travel on the road because it is difficult to maintain my lane. it usually starts to happen 15-20 minutes into a drive and then will not go away until after the car has been off for a significant period of time, but will recur the next time i drive on the highway. the vehicle has been serviced by a dealer and the problem went away for a while, but has recurred. it has not been inspected by any parties other than the dealer. i do not know if they were able to reproduce the problem. there are no warnings, messages, or other symptoms before the wheel sticks.

Air conditioner leaking freon at 40k miles and it’s a known problem $2000 repair. known problem with honda civics

When i’m driving the steering wheel gets stuck and the only way to get it unstuck is to pull hard enough to break the jam. it always gets stuck pulling to the left because every time i have to get it unstuck i have to pull to the right to break the jam.it happens every day and it’s really frustrating. every time this happens is after 15-20 minutes driving. this is a serious safety hazard specially in a long drive because you are literally fighting the car to keep it in the center of the lane! 2016 honda civic touring 62,000 miles it started doing this after 3 years with the car and approximately 37,000 miles. i remember because i took the car to the dealership and they told me that my basic warranty had expired at 36,000 miles or 3 years and the diagnosis and fixtures were going to be out of my pocket.

My car's steering has been sticky and catching. this often causes me to apply unnecessary pressure to correct the steering and could cause an accident. i had it verified at honda of murfreesboro that i need a new steering rack.

Steering sticks making it difficult to change direction. it has a significant resistance when changing direction, this is troublesome especially at higher speeds. the consumer stated that the steering issue happens frequently and is not limited to just one occurrence.

Steering wheel is quite hard to turn. gets kind of stuck at certain points when i’m driving. fluids all good. don’t understand why this is happening.

The air conditioning system is a failure. first my condenser went out and they replaced it with the extended warranty they provided. now my evaporator is leaking and they do not have an extended warranty on it. cost to replace is $2,100.00. this is a safety concern in california because of the smog. i could no longer keep my windows up when driving because of the heat and a/c not working.

Each time i drove my car the tire pressure light would flash before the abs, brake system, power steering and traction lights would come on and the dealership could not find the problem although my car would not accelerate and the speed sensor has already been changed because only one went bad prior. 3 times to the dealership and no codes could be found and they couldn’t never duplicate the problem once the vehicle was turned off. this time the car jerked at take off and would not accelerate. they stated that it was the vbs module that had to replaced this final time.

Paint peeling around rear window

Steering wheel becomes stuck in a certain position at highway speeds after 20+ minutes of driving and it requires an unnatural amount of force to free it, thus resulting in a sudden jerking motion that makes driving highly unsafe. honda dealerships are quoting civic owners $4k for an issue that is well known (200+ complaints on nhtsa and an active investigation on the 11th gen civics with the same issue (https://www.autoblog.com/2023/03/21/nhtsa-honda-civic-sticky-power-steering-investigation/#:~:text=the%20national%20highway%20traffic%20safety,reports%20of%20the%20issue%2c%20too.))

The steering is sticking - the same as all these other reports i'm seeing below. it is worse in the afternoons (higher temperatures i guess) and definitely more noticeable at highway speeds. took the car to the dealer and they said that even though my car only has 36k miles it needs a new (electric) rack & pinion system for $4000 !! ridiculous. i was advised that the dealer is well aware of the issue (i was the 2nd case this week that my service advisor was dealing with) but there's nothing they (the dealer) are doing at the moment other than referring it to corporate honda u.s. i dont know whats going to happen if the situation gets worse - does the steering stop steering or get continually harder to steer ... is a definite safety issue.

2016 honda civic ac system is not working and has not been working for awhile. there are 2 warranty extensions issued for this vehicle's ac system, one for the condenser and one for the compressor. honda has diagnosed the problem as being the evaporator, which i have been quoted everywhere from $1800 - $3000 to have fixed. the general consensus from mechanics that have dealt with these models (i have seen many different mechanics, 3rd party and dealership), is that the entire ac system is riddled with manufacturing defects, the condenser and compressor issues likely caused the evaporator malfunction, and will likely have to be recalled at some point. that is obviously slowly happening with the existing warranty extensions, however i am still being forced to pay nearly $2k for working ac despite public knowledge of a manufacturing error dealing with these ac systems. honda refuses to acknowledge the evaporator issue was caused by the other failing components by not extending the warranty to the whole ac system. when i refused service for the evaporator since it was not covered, i was told the compressor shaft seal leak that is covered under the warranty extension could not be fixed either. the reasoning was that the compressor could not be fixed alone without fixing the evaporator due to "safety concerns". essentially admitting that the whole system fails if one of those 3 parts is faulty. so even though that is the case, i still have to pay out of pocket for the manufacturers mistake. unbelievable and clearly an extremely common occurrence as there was an active class action lawsuit for the ac systems of this model (andre wong v. american honda motor co. inc., et al., case no. 2:19-cv-10537) and lemon law documentation of the issue as well. please hold honda responsible and force them to issue an all encompassing ac recall/warranty extension so that myself and many others do not have to choose between a very expensive repair or passing out on the road from the heat

Steering has become sticky, especially when driving straight on a highway or at higher speeds. extra force is needed to maintain position in lane and move the wheel. the pressure required to turn the wheel past the stuck position causes the driver to over correct excessively making it difficult to stay in the lane.

The inside of the car smells like coolant and the air is making the front dashboard foggy. one area of the central ac is blowing cooler than the other.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving 40-60 mph, the steering wheel became firm. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact jerked the steering wheel side to side and the steering wheel started operating normally. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under recall. no further assistance was provided. the approximate failure mileage was 49,000.

Steering is getting stuck while driving on highways and/or higher speeds. appears to be a consistent issue with honda civics complaints/issues after researching. requires replacing eps, approx $2-3k. not due to wear and tear. vehicle at less than 30,000 total miles.

Purchased this vehicle new in 2016. the ac system has never worked properly. a few years ago parts were given the extended warranty. i had it fixed at an authorized honda dealer, it blew cold air for about 2 weeks and then died agin. i had it fixed again, was told parts were defective in the first repair and it worked for 1 summer. now this summer it is not blowing cold air once again and again i got another warranty extension in the mail. this time at honda it’s a different part in the ac and of course it isn’t covered. so for a quick $3000 it can be fixed. this is my 9th honda/acura vehicle and i have never had such a unreliable car. very disappointed with the “new” honda.

The steering wheel get stuck/ jerks in position and to correct stuck position/ jerks it causes you to correct your lane position. you feel out of control for a second or so. purchased vehicle in 2019, in 2020/21, this happened and i took it into the dealership where we purchased the car and they did an alignment. after that alignment, steering/jerky/sticky wheel did not happen as much but it still happened and is getting worse. so this weekend i took the vehicle back to the dealership for the same issue again. according to the dealership. their technician(s) test drove the car and they did not feel the sticky and jerky wheel. generally this happens when the vehicle has been driven for longer than 20-30 mins and when you are going 40-70 mph. the technician(s) stated that they could not reproduce this in their test drive. but it is still happening as i drove home from the dealership. i am not sure how they could not see and feel the constant wheel movement maintain control of the lane. it's sometimes hard to hold lane control especially going at a higher rates of speed. i see 200+ complaints similar to this issue with the 2016 honda civic. this dealership states that they see nothing wrong. but there is definitely still something wrong with this year model. i wanted to go on record and voice my concerns about this issue like many others.

The inside door handle on my car has become unusable two times in the past 2 years. this is a danger because, in case of an emergency, the door would not be able to be opened by the passenger.

Air conditioning compressor and condenser leaking which caused the evaporator to fail. honda refuses to fix evaporator due to faulty a/c system leaking.

Steering- the steering wheel jerks when i make incremental movements to the left or right. this only occurs when i'm driving on a freeway at or above 55mph. it does not occur on surface streets. i brought it to autonation honda in chandler, az. they said it was the rack motor or rack pinion motor and it needs to be replaced. the advisor said that they have seen many 2016 civics with this issue. total out-of-pocket cost $3700.00. part was not available even if i decided to have it replaced. i feel this should be addressed since this is a major safety issue caused by the manufacturer and should be recalled.

While driving on the freeway at 70-80mph the car begins to lose acceleration, stutters and faults all fault codes on the car. car then begins to brake itself to a stop all while on a freeway at a high rate of speed. i have to pull over to the side of the freeway, crossing up to 5 lanes of high speed traffic all while my car is braking itself to a stop. i have narrowly missed 5 accidents in the 7 times this has occurred. each time while in the left or carpool lanes of traffic while passing other vehicles at a high rate of speed. i have to bring the car to a complete stop on the side of the road, turn the car off to disengage the braking system, turn the car on, all fault codes remain, car stays in limp mode or safe mode, i limp to the dealer and drop it off. 2 honda dealers in 2 different states can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. replaced multiple replays and other components and i am now about $3800 in repairs and the car is not fixed. this has been happening since march when the first occurrence happened. second and 3rd in washington while visiting family in june and as of today, the 7th time occurred this morning while taking the car back to the dealer to have it looked at because it faulted on saturday evening. codes cleared when i started the car this morning and happened again as i was driving to the dealer. each time the dealers have the car for a week. say this fixed it, test drive it have no issues return it to me to have it happen within days of being returned. i’m terrified to drive the car at high speed even when i do get it back as “fix”. i feel like my issues and security is being constantly over looked by honda. arrowhead honda in arizona currently has the car for yet again more “repairs”.

I recently moved so i am traveling on the interstate more. in doing so, i've noticed after about 15-20 minutes at higher speeds, my steering wheel starts sticking. i have to fight to stay in my lane. it's scary as well as exhausting. i've researched and see other complaints just like mine. why has this issue not been addressed by honda? it makes me scared to go visit family or do any traveling at all. i bought this vehicle used in 2019 but this issue really didn't surface until i moved and started driving more on the interstate. i noticed it some before but since most of my driving was in town, it didn't occur often. please have honda address this as it definitely is a safety issue. i feel like i'm going to drive off the road the whole time i'm on the interstate.

Air conditioner in my 2016 honda civic has never worked. condenser or compressor needs to be replaced continues to leak throughout system and is defective. emergency brake malfunction does not work and poses as a safety issue. left head lamp doesn’t work due to excessive heat exposure in nevada.

A/c system.- compressor &/or shaft seal leak- as we were driving our brand new honda civic to las vegas for our daughter’s wedding on july 12, 2019 in the heat of 115 degrees, the ac stopped working & started blowing hot air, we were forced to continue our 5 hour journey in this unsafe driving condition since it was our daughter’s wedding. this was at 36,100 miles, just 100 miles out of warranty. the recall had not happened yet & we were unaware other people were experiencing the same issues with this same ac system honda used. i took it to my local honda dealer upon return of the torturous unsafe trip and they wanted $3000 to fix the problem they took no blame for it. i immediately filed a complaint with safecar.gov #11322455. 4 years later, parts of the ac system were recalled & i was sent a letter from american honda stating show us the invoices you had to pay before the recall happened. i did exactly what they said and they denied all of my expenses. i am in shock. this was not my problem their defected ac system leaked freon. that was their system that they put into that brand new car that was worthless. they cut corners used a cheaper outside contractor it’s obvious. i have $552.93, in repairs that american honda has refused to reimburse me for and i went through the whole process they requested it’s not right. i should be paid for what i had to pay on that ac system before the recall. it was not my fault it was their fault.

The steering sticks around highway speeds which causes me to over correct. the vehicle feels unsafe to drive and i am being told it will cost close to $4,000.00 to replace the electronic steering rack.

Steering intermittently sticks when trying to make small adjustments to stay in lane. it has been doing this for the last couple years.

My honda civic with manual transmission, suddenly would not go into gear and lost power (engine still running). fortunately, i was able to coast to the opposite side of the road across oncoming traffic, since there was no right shoulder. after a tow home, i discovered that the manual clutch slave cylinder was detached from the engine block (photo attached) and of the 2 connecting bolts (photo attached), one was sheared and the other was intact but unconnected. the last service to the vehicle was with manly honda service in santa rosa, ca replacing the ac condenser and compressor. i called them to see if they had not secured the 2 bolts after completing the ac service. the service manager said that they would not have removed this clutch slave cylinder in the ac service. i advised the service manager that if the clutch cylinder had not been removed by them, then it could be a safety hazard issue that should be reported to honda motors. after some online research, i have discovered that this problem has been experiened by other honda civic owners.

Sticky steering wheel, feels notching while driving

I bought my honda new in 2016 from space coast honda in cocoa, florida. it had 0 miles. since 2016 i have had 5 separate issues with the air conditioner, and have had to repeatedly go back to space coast honda. they released a warranty for the condenser, but refuse to acknowledge problems with the evaporator. there are many many people with a 2016-2018 honda civic who experience issues with the evaporator and honda wants people to pay over $2000 to fix the issue. i find it hard to believe that these issues aren’t all related. honda needs to be held accountable for manufacturing faulty models of the 2016 honda civic.

Steering wheel sticks and you are not able to change direction without using excessive force. this happens when driving at highway speeds and seems to be worse (more force needed to turn wheel) at higher temperatures, 80+. the sticking steering causes you to oversteer and may cause you to lose control of the vehicle and crash.

Our vehicle has just over 60,000 miles and has developed a significant "sticking" in the steering. this starts at around 50 miles per hour and gets progressively worse as speed increases. it doesn't completely seize but requires significant pressure to break the sticking. this could easily result in an overcompensation that leads to a loss of control. once over 50 miles per hour, this issue requires constant attention by the driver. it is not an intermittent issue. we took this vehicle to a honda dealer for repairs in july, but it still hasn't been repaired yet due to a shortage of the parts needed to repair this issue that is apparently well known by the honda service technicians. insult to injury is that once this is repaired, it will cost me over $3,000 as honda has rejected our request to cover this repair.

I have a 2016 honda civic around 48,000-50,000.00 miles i have noticed that the steering in my vehicle gets sticky/stuck while driving. this usually occurs on the highway while i’m driving at higher speeds and when i’ve been on the road for about 30 minutes. while driving on the highway the steering wheel gets “stuck” towards the left and i have to pull it to correct this position. it has made me fearful while driving especially at high speeds and i feel like the entire drive i have to white knuckle the wheel. if i do not continue to make the correction then the car would veer off into another lane. this is extremely dangerous and unsafe. it has also happened while i’ve slowed down to a traffic light and when i pulled the steering wheel back out of the sticky position i heard an adamant click. i started researching and saw there are hundred if not thousands of these reports. i did send honda a message to open a case which they sent a standard message back just saying to bring it to the dealer and closed the case. this needs to be fixed or rectified by honda. i saw that there were some lawsuits but that they didn’t include 2016. it seems that the problem with all of these is the eps rack assembly which is a fault with the manufacturer.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm, and was sticking while turning in either direction. the contact stated that the failure was more noticeable while driving at highway speeds, and caused the vehicle to drift to either side, causing the driver to make addition steering wheel adjustments to keep the vehicle driving straight. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 60,000.

Both steering and brake system warning lights came on and steering wheel locked in to place with no prior warning indications of power steering rack failure.

My car has an emergency parking brake malfunction where the brake delays once parked.

At 63k miles the honda civic steering wheel started sticking /jerking when changing lanes on the interstate. the steering rack eps needs to be replaced. only happens when you are driving for over an hour. this is not something you will notice commuting for 10-15 minutes to work. no warning on the dash. warranty can't help us since we are second owners. we purchased it for our teenager 60 days ago and it's not safe for her to drive.

Steering starts sticking every few seconds after about a 20 minute drive, and veering sideways. i lost a sideview mirror due to this and its very dangerous to drive. probably has killed peapel already!! this happens every single time i drive this!

My 2016 honda civic has been having air conditioning issues and this should be repaired by the manufacturer. the issue is with evaporator core and the condenser. the honda dealership inspected the car and made the determination; however, he says that there have not been any recalls issued by honda for the evaporator core. we live in arizona and it is dangerous to drive a car without a working air conditioner. please help fix this as i am sure there are a lot more other owners who are having similar a/c issues!

When driving for a while on the freeway, my steering wheel gets sticky causing me to oversteer to compensate. which causes my car to swerve on the road.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? steering wheel sticking at highway speeds when on a curved road or when changing lanes. might be a loss of power steering. occurs once or twice in 100 highway miles. only temporary solution is to jerk the wheel with enough force to unstick it and regain control, which is not safe or ideal. how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? loss of control of the vehicle. departing own lane without intention. possibility of collision with an adjacent vehicle. possibility of overcorrection and complete loss of control without ability to regain control, resulting in a single vehicle crash. has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no, the local honda dealer wants to charge $150.00 to inspect the issue. has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no. were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no, none.

After numerous statements regarding issues with the a/c units, it appears there’s an additional item that should be added to the list of recall/extended warranty issues for honda. the evaporator is now an additional item that is an issue amongst numerous consumers. i’ve had an issue with the evaporator and have been charged a hefty amount for labor by the dealership stating this was the issue. i was not allowed to replace my compressor/condenser, which is strange that those work just fine even with a recall, but suddenly an entirely different part was not working that’s not under warranty. i left the dealership extremely frustrated to be sold a car with faulty equipment that is being called out online and honda does not show any proactive measures.

Steering rack is faulty. known issue on thousands of 2016 honda civics. honda told me my battery dying and the sticky steering wheel is from a faulty steering rack and quoted me $4000 to fix it. this car does not even have 80,000 miles on it and it 7 years old. this issue has caused multiple accidents and i have 2 children. i am scared to drive this vehicle. if this is a known faulty steering rack issue why am i subjected to pay out of pocket?

The steering wheel 'sticks' at highway speeds and makes it difficult to make minor adjustments. have to apply more than normal force to turn the wheel and causes the car to overcompensate and jolt. could be quite dangerous.

Honda knew of an issue with their electronic parking brake system which required a software update per service bulletin 17-007 since january 17, 2017. honda claims that the issue was not associated with my 2016 civic coupe exl vin however on oct 29, 2023 my civic threw this error which then cost me $112 for the service center to diagnose and an additional $150 for the software update to be installed. total cost of $262 for an item that honda knew was an issue and never addressed on my vehicle. this issue creates a dangerous and possibly life threatening situation which honda is fully aware and should be held liable. american honda states that my vehicle was not effected however i disagree as the photos and failure occurred. i was expecting more fro honda.

My infotainment system has been malfunctioning for roughly 4 year now. i bought my 2016 honda civic touring in 2019 from hagerstown kia in hagerstown maryland. several months after i purchased the car, my infotainment randomly does things on its own like back out of navigation apps and return to home screen or randomly turn on the blind spot camera. this is a major safety concern for me and other drivers because i have to fool with the infotainment system for several minutes so that i can go back to my navigation screen and know where to go and also be able to control the car’s temperature. this malfunction is very distracting therefore causing potential harm to me or other drivers. i see that there is an ongoing class lawsuit for this exact issue “constance chiulli v. american honda motor co. inc., et al., case no. [xxx] in the u.s. district court for the northern district of california.” next time this malfunction occurs, i will take a video and i can provide that as proof to validate my case. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

My 18 year old daughter's 2016 honda civic has been having problems with her steering wheel where while driving on the highway or driving straight for a while, the steering wheel gets stuck and in order to stop it from sticking, she would have to jerk the car a little bit which causes her to swerve and it is a big problem if it happens while there are other cars around her. i have read numerous articles about this same problem with the same year, make and model of the car.

As others have stated, steering becomes very sticky at highway speeds, especially on sweeping curves. when trying to straighten car back out, the steering sticks and requires extra pressure to get the steering wheel to turn. once it comes free it causes the car to veer in the other direction. it is at times very difficult to put minor corrections into the steering to maintain the car in my lane. honda dealer says it is the “torque sensor magnet” sticking and would require a steering rack replacement in the neighborhood of $4000. i have been back and forth with honda corporate and they have denied any extended warranty or customer good will on this issue.

The contact owned a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked unattended, it caught fire. there were no warning lights illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the fire department extinguished the fire. the vehicle was towed to a tow lot. there were no reported injuries. a police report was filed. the air bags did not deploy. the manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 63,000. the contact stated that the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number 16v074000 (engine and engine cooling). 

My steering wheel sticks when the engine has been warmed up, requiring extra force to begin turning it. this can make small adjustments on the road difficult, and means i have to overcorrect all the time and have trouble staying in my lane. it happens after driving ~20 minutes on warm days (above 70 degrees). the vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic, and i was told the only solution is replacing the entire steering rack. no warning lights have come on. this is not an isolated incident-- it happens every time the vehicle is driven for 20+ minutes on a warm day, and gets worse the longer it's driven.

I bought my 2016 honda civic and never had issues with it besides the ac unit not working which was resolved because of the recalls and was repaired by my local dealership. now i am having issues when it comes to accelerating. there is an accelerating delay/ stall when completing a stop and there’s a delay to get the car to move after pressing on the gas pedal or when reversing when getting out of th driveway. the most dangerous event is when i’m driving and i come to a stop to make a right turn and right after ensuring there is no upcoming traffic to make the right turn my car does not accelerate and it’s very scary because i can get hit by another car. there’s times where i’m driving and the car can turn off. i feel like my life and other drivers life’s are at risk. honda has recalls for fuel pumps for other year/models but not for mine. i just want to make sure if this is something that can be recalled. thank you

The front windshield glue holding it on the car has failed. the windshield can be pushed out completely with only a pinky finger. this should not happen and is very dangerous. this windshield could of came off easily from sudden stopping or collisions and caused serious bodily injury to the driver. safelite auto glass came out to inspect and replace the window due to this defect. they stated it is a factory installed front windshield and they had never seen anything like it. the windshield started coming off less than a week ago. there were no warnings. we knew there was a problem when we heard wind sound coming in while driving. i have tried to upload a pdf documentation, but the website will not let me upload it.

When driving freeway speeds, steering is very loose and difficult to control. when driving more than 30 minutes or more, the steering locks up and have to give it a jerk to gain control of steering. mileage on 2016 honda civic is 58272 as of inspection by honda on 1/17/24. honda verified issue is steering rack which thousands of 2016 honda civic owners are reporting same issue. original issue began in 2019 and reported to honda at that time. please review complaint. thank you.

When driving at highway speeds, the power steering seems to stick when the wheel has not been turned for a few seconds (as in driving on a straight away). when minor corrections are needed, the steering wheel sticks, which results in a slight over correction. the conditions under which this happens is: warm air temperature, driving time over 15 minutes, and driving at highway speed.

Steering wheel stocks after about 20 miles of highway driving. very hard to maintain lane. major safety issue. purchased for teen driver now i’m scared to death to let her drive. no warning lights. lots of complaints on line. this is a major safety concern and should be investigated and a recall for repair. this is unfair to consumers

The past few weeks i’ve been taking my vehicle for service to the honda dealership located in daphne, alabama and i’ve been complaining about suspension problems and my main concern is my tie rod end and the dealership refuses to repair, then yesterday when i brought it in for service they charged me for a diagnostics without my permission and i asked for the report and won’t hand it over and today [xxx] they did the diagnostic again and won’t hand over the report then lied and said it’s my mass airflow sensor and there no check engine light on. for the past for weeks i’ve been wondering why the dealership has been mistreating me and it is because of the honda manufacture, today i called the honda manufacturer and ask if i’m listed as the vehicle owner in their systems because my vehicle is a 2016 and i haven’t had any open recall associated with my vin in the 4 years i’ve owned it. the honda dealership gave me a document for a vin check and i’m not listed as the owner so perhaps the recalls aren’t being inserting into the proper file. i called the manufacturer and asked to speak to a supervisor and the representative refused to do so and i have a recorded conversation that i would like to forward to you once an investigation is opened. i also asked if my vehicle is apart of the national recall on the fuel pump and the manufacturer agent said no. reference number: [xxx] i spoke with elmer today [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Power steering locks up a bit after driving for 20-30 mins. the steering is notchy and hard to turn the wheels. dealership said the power steering assembly needs replacement which is cover for 2017 and later. not 2016. even it’s the same generation and same symptoms. this is a safety issue and 2016 year model should be recalled as well.

Transmission shifted out of gear into neutral driving down the highway with no available gear options no warning lights nothing.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel became firm, and was sticking while turning in direction. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact stated that the failure was more noticeable while driving at highway speeds, and caused the vehicle to drift to either side, causing the driver to make additional adjustments to keep the vehicle driving straight. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 31,000.

I have noticed for a while now. when the light turns green or i'm at a stop and i have enough time to take off the car does not move when i apply the gas. it stalls and that scares me. i have noticed my cruise control shut off the other day when driving on the freeway. and i could not turn it back on. now when i try to apply the parking bake when i'm parked the parking brake does not turn on nor the brake hold. the lights keep flashing than turn odd my headlight in the front and back passenger don't work. i've switched out the bulbs and it's an electrical problem. i see recalls on some of these matters but honda won't do nothing because it's not on their system when i bought this car in 2016.

The contact's parent owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while the parent was parking into a parking space, and straightening the steering wheel; the brake pedal depressed but the vehicle continued to drive. several warning messages were displayed "vehicle stability assist problem", "power system steering problem", "hill start assist problem", "emissions systems problem", "brake hold system problem", and "brake system problem". the driver noticed that the brake pedal failed to respond and the vehicle rapidly accelerated, causing the vehicle to crash into two medians and crash into a parked and unoccupied ford edge vehicle at unknown speeds. the stationary vehicle was pushed halfway out of the parking spot. no air bags deployed, and there were no injuries reported. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was unknown if the vehicle was diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. the failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

Went over railroad tracks just like any other car and the airbag blew for no reason. the front of the car was not hit.

When driving at high speeds on straight roads, the steering wheel “catches” or feels sticky when it hits the middle and makes it hard to keep the car straight and requires extra effort to turn it further. this can be quite dangerous.

I have noticed my steering wheel sticking consistently for the past year or so. i mostly notice this when driving on the highway at higher speeds. it requires a forceful tug in the right direction, which causes the car to jerk slightly.

Steering is sticking causing over correction when occurs. most noticeable at highway speeds. has been happening last 10,000 miles or 8 months.

Few years ago i fix (pay about $1300 no body give this money back ) air conditioning problem in lamacchia honda , syracuse , ny. and [xxx] again fix air conditioning problem( cover warranty from honda corp.) in lamacchia honda syracuse, ny...now i have same problem no working air conditioner ..what now ? one times i pay ... bellow pictures from my car hot air coming information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

-steering seems to stick after long periods of highway driving, yes the car is available for inspection. -need to overcorrect and at high speeds this could be dangerous. -no, i have taken it in to honda for service and they cannot reproduce. i don't think they are driving it enough, i only notice it when driving for long distances. -no -no warnings

My steering wheel is very sticky. doesn't happen until i've been driving at highway speeds for at least 15 minutes. it's also worse when it's warmer. my steering wheel is so sticky to the left to the point where i don't feel safe and feel like i could fly off the curves if don't drive under the speed limit (ie feel need to drive 60mph around bends on a 70mph highway).

My civic (2016) is having the same 'sticking steering wheel' issue as the later year cars that are currently being recalled. this is well documented in the honda civic forums and youtube videos. this can lead to a very serious accident as the car can be uncontrollable. the steering wheel 'sticks' then to get it unstuck you have to apply more pressure to 'unstick' the steering wheel which results in the car swerving in the lane, it is very dangerous...

The steering becomes sticky after driving for about 15 minutes or so and seems to occur more on warmer days (above 70f). this occurs both at highway speeds and also at lower speeds. for example when making a slight turn to the left or right the wheel will stick at that position and you will need to force the wheel to go back to center. this can cause you to over steer and end up out of your lane. additionally at highway speeds making the steering whell will get stuck when making slight adjustments to keep the car in its lane. forcing the wheel each time causes you to ping pong within your lane and sometimes veer out of your lane. this is very dangerous and also makes it look like you are distracted or drunk driving. issue was confirmed by a honda dealer and indicated that the entire rack needed to be replaced. no warning lights or codes stored for the issue.

Driving down the road while at higher speeds the steering wheel sticks in one spot for minor adjustments. this can cause over corrections on the drivers part and may cause a wreck involving other vehicles. it has been documented on many forums online, about others having problems with the steering with the 2016 honda civics. this is no exception.

The steering wheel, when turning either left or right, even slightly, gets stuck almost feels like it locks and when steering to opposite side, you need to tug/jerk the steering wheel to get it unstuck. when you jerk the wheel to get it unstuck, the car wants to veer sharply in the the direction being pulled. there were several close calls evading striking a car in the lane next to my car due to the veering trying to unstick the steering wheel. this locking happens in all modes of driving - straight, fast, slow, and on curves. it does not appear at speeds under 25 mph. the sensation of losing total control of the steering is overwhelming especially when traveling on the highway at highway speeds. the sensation of losing total control is enhanced when in a curve. there is also the sensation of potential total loss of the steering. my first car was purchased in 1968 and over the years i have learned to take notice of potential dangerous conditions in vehicles. i am not a happy camper with the steering on this vehicle. the internet gossip is that it is a known issue. i do not want to wind up injured or causing injury to others because of a manufacturers defect.

Rear view mirror is peeling and discoloration is occurring. causes impaired view while driving.

Sticky and jerky steering at all speeds requiring overcorrection left or right from center and left at about 10 o'clock. no warning lights on dashboard. dealer confirmed symptoms and replaced steering rack assembly part #53650-tbc-a22.

Driving the car home at 6pm on a highway, and heard a loud pop sound, but there were no rocks or objects hitting the vehicle. it turn out that the sunroof glass had exploded from the center for no reason. i am only glad the sunroof was not in use/open at the time, otherwise, the shattered glass will definitely lead to some serious consequences.

When jacking car to change tire, the lift point crumbled due to corrosion causing the car to fall back to the ground. there was no obvious evidence of extreme corrosion; it rusted from the inside. it is unknown how much more structural rust is inside the unibody but the car may no longer be safe for the road.

“sticky steering” the steering wheel will “stick” while driving causing the driver to over compensate to “unstick” it. i have owned the vehicle since new from dealer and it has always been a problem to some degree. in the beginning it would happen very sporadically maybe 1 or 2 times a year for very short periods. the longer it has gone the worse it has gotten and is now to the point of happening every time it is driven. it will starting pulling slightly in one direction and then when you jerk it to pull it back it wants to pull in the other direction. it’s a constant fight to keep it on the road and i have had many close calls so much that i am not comfortable driving it and took it to the honda dealership for diagnosis. they came back stating that the steering gearbox had an internal fault and needed to be replaced. honda is aware of the issue with this make and model but is not willing to correct the it. this, needs to be addressed as it is truly a safety hazard not only for the driver of the vehicle but also other drivers on the road.

Car suffers from sticky steering like the other newer civics and it is a very scary issue. my car does not drive straight and as it is getting hotter in louisiana my car is acting up more. i am constantly swerving to keep it straight. almost hit car in another lane and i have to fight against the wheel to make it stay straight. there are no warning lights. i have regular maintenance done. it also tried to turn another way when i go from a slow to fast speed, making merging or turning into an interstate feel dangerous. honda dealership checked it and found “no issues” they just did an alignment and said that was it. well the sticky steering still exists and is getting worse. please make a recall i do not feel safe.

The steering becomes sticky or stuck in position at higher speeds causing me to have to jerk the wheel back and forth to keep the car in the lane. it's very unsafe at highway speeds.

While going down the highway the wheel will stick you have to push it to put back in line with the road. kinda like sticky steering.

Steering becomes “sticky” when ambient temperature is about 70 degrees fahrenheit or after driving from 30 minutes. small adjustments in steering can not be done because steering sticks in position and causes more force to move it. this causes an over adjustment and swerving to keep the car in the lane.

Turbo charger malfunctioned went out

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. the contact research and learned that it was a known issue. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

After driving for about 15-20 mins and driving at highway speeds, the steering becomes "sticky" to the point that gentle force meets resistance and more force has to be applied for correction. there is resistance to the wheel that has to be overcome. standard steering controls. the advanced driving assisted steering is not an option on this model. the wheel resists the gentle input at first and greater force has to be issued until enough pressure is exerted and then an over correction happens. this overcorrection has lead to "lane drift" and then has to be corrected again...and with same sequence....gentle input with locked response then greater force....this has to be done quickly to avoid collision in heavy fast moving traffic which is all i drive in. i bought the car certified used 3 years ago while this issue was present but this is a known issue by you. no warning lamps.

Lost transmission fluid cap, don’t turn on any sensor light. i realized only because a friend just replace his. he shared the information i check it was gone. i had to buy a new one at honda. high risk since temperature is super high in california, potential risk to lose all the transmission oil and brake.

Steering feels sticky when driving on highways. it required some force to move it slightly.

The steering “locks”. to make a small steering adjustment, the car jerks to the right. a “clicking” has also recently started at the same time of the steering and jerking motion of the car. i was stopped for suspicious dui. i had to provide the officer with multiple forums discussing the exact problem. i reported the problem more than a year ago to the dealership.

Steering "sticks" when moving the wheel from center in order to make minor corrections at highway speeds. overcoming the "stick" requires using additional force resulting in overcorrection and swerving. this is a serious safety concern.

Power steering sticks making small lane maintaining adjustments difficult. usually happens after the vehicle has been outside in warm weather. often results in over-correcting, causing vehicle to veer too far within the lane resulting in another correction in the opposite direction. it makes maintaining safe distance from other vehicles or barriers difficult. there are no warning lamps, check engine light, or messages prior to or after the problem. the vehicle is in otherwise excellent condition and has not been inspected by a dealer or mechanic for this problem.

Steering becomes “sticky” intermittently. steering wheel requires additional force beyond what is normal to change direction and turn wheels. issue seems most prevalent at highway speeds when navigating bends in the road that require 10-20 degrees of steering deflection in either direction of center. once the steering wheel is held at such an angle for a few seconds consecutively it takes substantially more force than normal from the driver to move the steering wheel back towards center. this results in over correction and makes it difficult to control the vehicle and keep it in one lane. issue is also observed occasionally when making minor corrections to keep the vehicle in its lane on straight stretches of highway. issue occurs with vsa system on and off. turning the lkas on or off has no effect. issue is intermittent but seems more prevalent during warmer weather.

- honda cvt transmission: 4356 - went out. is available for inspection within the week. - my daughter was driving on the freeway in the fast lane when vehicle started making loud hum noise then, came to a stop. she had to coast to the side of the road, where she was almost hit by multiple vehicles. - yes vehicle has been inspected by a independent service center - towed by usaa insurance. - has been inspected by other: davis auto clinic, davis, ca 95616 - no warning lights came on, or symptoms of the problem. only hum noise which began 5 minutes before car stalled in middle of freeway. first appeared at time of stall, no warning at all.

Steering wheel sticks noticeably above 40 miles per hour. mostly sticks whenever the steering wheel is straight, but happens otherwise as well. trying to make minor or major corrections results in needing to fight the steering wheel to do necessary movements. is consistent at this point and has been reproduced by an independent service center. no warning lamps are on and no dtcs (diagnostic trouble codes) either.

My 2016 honda civic recently started having a problem with the air conditioner. the air blowing through is not cold and also smells strange. after taking it to an official honda dealer, they've confirmed it's a problem with the evaporator and it needs to be replaced. an extended warranty exists for the compressor and condenser but not the evaporator. i believe the three are related and the evaporator should also be covered under warranty. this problem affects the air being pushed through the ac unit and could harm the passenger's well being.

While driving at highway speeds the steering can feel "sticky" where extra effort is required to make small adjustments to keep the car properly centered in the lane. it happens most frequently during warm weather and/or when driving for longer than 20-30 minutes. the effort required to compensate for the issue leads to a delay in the course correction and frequently over steering. either of which can be a safety issue as the former could lead to being unable to avoid an object on the road and the latter could lead to veering into oncoming traffic.

There was white padding between my speakers and trunk that had a malodorous smell.

After a year of purchasing the 2016 honda civic with 5 miles on it the bluetooth connection stopped working.

Sticky steering have to over correct and not really safe to drive. went to the honda dealership and they quotes me 3500 for repair but i have no warranty! it isn't safe for my kids and i to drive but it's my only transportation. i've read many complains of these cars having this issue and having to have rack replacements.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving at various speeds and attempting to adjust the steering wheel, the steering wheel was sticking. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was test-driven, and the failure was replicated. the dealer determined that further diagnostic testing was required. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

Steering wheel is ongoing stiff and jerky when going above 45mph. it has been almost two years of dealing with it. we have tried troubleshooting but it seems to be a common issue as well as ac system keeps failing. we are repairing for 2nd time within a year and half. while ac failure isn't a safety issue the faulty steering is. it makes car hard to control and can cause an accident because minor adjustments can't be made while driving. there dozens of complaints besides mine.

The steering is sticky. when driving the car the steering wheel will stick and the driver has to force the wheel. this causes a very scary driving experience.

When driving the vehicles steering is not smooth. when making adjustments the steering is very jerky causing you to overcorrect. searching the honda forums i'm finding lots of others reporting the same issue.

The steering is very sticky when driving at higher speeds on the highway. it seems to start after hot days or after 15 to 30 min. of driving. the over correction when it gets stuck and having to force it back to center makes it swerve while driving. i have read many forums with the same model reporting the same issues with their eps system and steering rack system. this is a huge safety issue and should be recalled and fixed as soon as possible.

Over the past year, the steering became increasingly stiff and difficult to ;control, particularly at higher speeds. when we took it to our local honda dealership, we were told that this is a common (and expensive) problem with this year and model. they also said not to take it on long trips, as the steering could lock if turned hard. the needed repair parts (see attached repair bill) were on backorder for nearly 2 months and cost over $4,000 to install.

While driving to keep the car center the steering becomes sticky or notchy as if needing slightly extra force to microcorrect left or right to stay center. it results in slight overcorrection and some slight swaying, but feels as if control of the car is compromised, specifically at freeway speeds.

Power steering rack ( part # 53560-tba-a01. steering is sticking when on highway driving 55+ and hard to correct. noone at dealership can duplicate issue, however my daughter and husband have also experienced sticky steering and hard to correct. no warning lights. diagnostic tests show nothing wrong. honda forums helped me figure out issue.

* having to adjust the wheel to maintain a straight path while driving * steering resistance for minor adjustments while driving at highway speeds * the wheel sticks, causing the driver to need more force than usual to turn * when more force is applied to break the wheel free from its stick, the car may overcompensate in that direction * when turning, the wheel will maintain its position, not slide back to center, if hands are removed from the steering wheel

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the steering assembly and rack and pinion needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the failure was due to the steering shaft. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. the failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

When driving on a straight road (highway, avenue, etc.) steering wheel tends to stay “sticky” at the 12 o clock position and takes some force to get it to move to make minor adjustments in steering. this makes it overcorrect and causes me to constantly gave to be adjusting to keep the car straight

The steering wheel has a tendency to “catch” or "stick" at the center line when driving. to overcome this resistance, you have to apply extra pressure, which could lead to oversteering and the car swerving out of your intended direction of steering. this is a known problem, referred to as "sticky steering" in many online searches. the only solution seems to be a complete replacement of the eps steering rack which is on back order due to demand and i've been quoted a range of $3500 to $5000 to replace by several honda dealers in my area. this is a serious safety issue with the vehicle and should be recalled for the replacement.

When long distance driving it has sticky steering which cause over correction left and right making it feel unsafe to drive

Steering sticks at a certain point of turning which makes it difficult to maintain a straight path and has almost caused a collision due to the fact that you end up over correcting your current path so you may vere into the other lane. the problem occurs at different times and seems to be at it's peak when it's hot outside and gives no warning lights or any other visible signs as to when it will occur. i bought the car used and it had around 20,000 miles on it, i noticed the issue soon after that. i have not had the problem looked at yet because it has been manageable but i fear that it may get worse and i know i'm not the only one with this issue. my vehicle may be inspected up on request.

Ac on these models is a complete failure. it is well know that 2016 honda civics have had issues with the ac system and the source of the malfunction lies in the refrigerant, specifically the r-1234f, which appears to be incompatible with the ac system components. as a result, leaks have developed, contaminating other vital ac components and causing unnecessary strain on the system. refrigerant leaks have a cascading effect, leading to cross-contamination of other ac components and increased strain on the entire system. the fact that the condenser, air compressor, and evaporator have to be replaced due to the refrigerant leak is a clear indication of the severity of the problem. other main problem is that whenever you take these vehicles into honda dealerships with or without warranty they clearly do not go through all the issues. they find the first issue, they patch and send you on your way. you can feel they are have been trained to be money hungry and upsell wherever possible

The air conditioner does not blow cold air. the heating and fan work just fine, but no cool air. i was told by honda that if it’s not because of the recall, that i would have to pay, and that just wasn’t feasible at the time.

Steering is sticky or notchy when driving higher speeds. feels like it overcorrects when trying to maintain center.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, frequently becoming stuck in position, requiring that the steering wheel be manually returned to center. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. the vehicle was not repaired. after investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 18v663000 (steering), but the vin was not included. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 140,000. the vin was not available.

Alarm sounded, went outside with fob to shut off . still alarm on . tried to get in car with fob . had to use key in door to get in . stepped on brake and pushed start/stop button . alarm now silent. push start/stop button to shut off engine and message on dash read keyless start system error. engine still running. pushed button again and ac shuts off , engine still running and dash still reading error. put in driver, then reverse to park and pushed button again and engine shut off finally. disconnect negative from battery and let sit overnight. tried to start, but just kept cranking. disconnect battery again, tried starting again and it started. this time it took me 10 minutes before i could shut off engine. disconnect battery again and haven’t tried again. i’ve read about other people having the same issues. most say start/stop switch. mine is on order, will install asap and see what happens. fingers crossed.

Steering sticks when driving on interstate. causes over correction and potentially can cause lead to swerving and hitting someone

While driving the steering wheel is sticking and have to jerk the steering wheel to prevent going into another lane. contact honda dealer ships and honda corporate office and asked if there was a recall for this, they said not on my particular vehicle, but some of the honda civics. there is no warnings, it just happens periodically.

For a while now (months), we have noticed our 2016 honda civic has had a "sticky" (a click or jerk) feeling when handling the steering wheel, particularly while driving on the freeway, holding long turns, or when even reversing (from an angle) into a parking stall (for the parking, a click/pop is audibly heard). basically, the steering wheel will suddenly shift/jerk slightly left/right, which causes you to no longer be steering in the exact line you were on. driver has to then correct by making an opposing shift in the opposite direction to return to the exact line that was being driven. it is a bit of a nuisance, and produces anxiety on the driver's part, leaving one wondering if/when the shift/jerk will cause even larger of an issue, potentially posing risk of harm to the vehicle's and neighboring vehicles' riders via a collision. our honda service technician recently confirmed, after our recent big maintenance service, that this issue is present and has something to do with some steering mechanism (i don't recall the correct term of the equipment/device), and that an estimated repair cost would be $3,000-$4,000. for now, we have been advised to monitor, and that basically it is up to us to decide if/when we would like to spend $3,000-$4,000 to have this repaired at our own expense. we are not aware of how this issue arose (what the exact cause is), but is potentially due manufacturing. there are no dashboard warning lights that illuminate during the shifting/jerking of the steering. we just feel it, moreso if you are the one driving. this issue is experienced daily. our primary concern is prevention of a collision. we do not want it to get to the point of having had a collision/emergency, then reactively reporting the issue to nhtsa. and we do not have funds to purchase a new vehicle. can we possibly have more confidence in this vehicle being able to transport our family safely without fear of steering issues? thank you for your support.

The steering locks and sticks when driving especially on a highway. it appears the rack and pinion sticks

The steering sticks and causes me to overcorrect to stay in my lane. i see that later models of honda have been recalled for the same issues as my car has been having for some time now. i feel it is dangerous.

Feels like steering wheel gets stuck when going highway speeds, takes more effort than usual to turn/ unlock to change lanes. happens every time i drive 60+mph

A notchy feel when you get at about 40 mph or greater. steering kind of gives a hesitation or resistance when trying to give minor corrections to the left or right. very noticeable on at high way speeds when trying to stay within a lane along a straight away. you have to force the steering wheel to turn and by the time it "releases" you have to over correct to not go into the next lane accidentally. very unsafe feeling

Steering issues. during highway speeds driver(s) has to keep adjusting steering to make the car drive straight.

I started having steering issues from the steering wheel being stiff and having to fight against it to keep the car in the lane of traffic. i took the car into the dealership, and the service writer stated he knew exactly what was wrong. he stated it could have gotten dangerous and could lead to a crash. i was charged 4500.00 for an electric power steering rack. after seeing the recent recalls and other same sounding issues, i am thinking the recall for the newer models, is potentially what was wrong with my 2016 civic. i only had 33k miles on it. i had this repaired exactly 1 year ago. i feel that this recall should go back to cover the older models like mine. seeing the other complaints from other people, it sounds like they should be covered.

Steering becomes noticeably "sticky" at highway speeds (50+). steering wheel "sticks/freezes" near the center point and it takes some force to turn/unstick it ... then i am forced to over/re-correct the opposite direction making the car swerve right/left or vice versa. on a slick road this could cause a complete loss of control ... luckily i don't drive at highway speed on a daily basis. car mileage is currently 57,860. this has been happening for at least a year, and i just finally remembered to google it last night and discovered that this is a known issue with civics.

The vehicle had a light for emissions. brought to honda dealer. charged me for two diagnosis fees. the tank / neck and fuel pump all rusted out at connection. no rust under or on the vehicle. obviously the manufacturer has poor quality tank. this does not happen on 8 yr old vehicle and they want $4500 to fix.

These vehicles have major paint issues. i experienced the paint flaking off the side back panel near the window and had to go through a somewhat annoying process to have the dealer look into it. after i had this issue i looked online to see if anyone has this same problem and it came to my attention that it is a nationwide issue that is not being addressed. here is a link of other people who have experienced this issue, [xxx] . the paint is too thin and loses it's clear coat easily then the color breaks and flakes off. i honestly believe this is a manufacture defect as so many cars are affected with the exact same issue. now my car paint is peeling near the top of the window and i would like an investigation done. i have taken very good car of the vehicle, hand washes and it only has 15k miles. i paid over 28k for this car and didn't expect the paint to be so thin or poor. please help myself and the many others that are having this issue by formally opening an investigation. i appreciate your time and your assistance. take care! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Anytime i drive on the highway, the steering wheel begins to stick, causing me to need more force to correct, which causes overcorrection. i then have to correct the overcorrection which causes an overcorrection in the other direction because the steering wheel does not move smoothly. it's extremely frustrating and almost every time someone is following me, they call to ask if i'm all right due to the swerving. this can be a serious safety issue because of constant swerving due to how difficult it is to correct the car in the lane without overcorrecting, starting an overcorrection snowball. it also doesn't stop until the car is shut off and turned back on, in which case it starts up again once getting over 45mph.

When driving at highway speeds (generally around 50 to 80 mph), the steering wheel has a "sticky" feeling when trying to maintain a straight line. making minor adjustments with the steering wheel requires excessive force to correct minor lane adjustments. this, in turn, creates a very unpleasant and unsafe driving condition as it feels like you are constantly fighting the steering wheel, just to maintain the center of your lane. driving long periods like this also causes the driver to some what "fight" against the issue causing fatigue in the drivers hands, wrists, and arms. the larger concern is if this issue continues, or gets worse, this could easily lead to an increased risk of loss of control of the vehicle and/or crash. this seems related to a similar recall just issued by honda for 1.7 million vehicles (including civics) for 2022 - 2025 models by nhtsa.

The differential inside the transmission is making a knocking noise and shakes really badly check engine light came on and traction control light both are on and break system light and i have not even had it for a year

The evaporator core is leaking, which is causing reduced visibablility out of the windows due to condensation on the windows, mold-like smells from moisture from the interior cabin (it is available upon request). i took it into the dealer - they examined the issue (the shaft seal had just been replaced in april of this year) and let me know that this time the evaporator core was leaking. for context and why i bring it to the attention of the nhtsa is in early to mid-august of this year my ac not only took an extended time to get cool, it only got cooler, and not cold. unfortunately, i am now well acclimated to the signs of a faltering air conditioning system after dealing with three like episodes on the same vehicle, occurring within 2 to 3 years of each other (the car isn’t even nine years old). in fact, this vehicle’s air conditioning has been in a rhythmic pattern of failing ever since i purchased the vehicle. over 8 years there have only been a few summers which haven’t been negatively impacted by this inconvenience. honda is aware of the issue, because they have offered "good-will" subsidies which sometimes cover partial replacements of these components. but, they have yet to take responsibility for anything outside of the condenser. hence, the consumer is on the hook to pay for a vital piece of the car (not just the convenience) that removes moisture out of the car.

While driving the steering wheel becomes sticky. it is difficult to turn and requires varying levels of force, reducing accuracy and resulting in jerky movements, difficulty staying in the lines, and increasing risk of crash. no warning lights or errors are coming up for this issue. no other symptoms. issue has been going on for about a year. if necessary i can get supporting documentation from a mechanic for this issue. no inspection from insurance or police.

My ac gave me problems 2years ago, after a couple times at dealer finally, needs to replace compresor and condenser and hoses. honda put me in waiting list for the replacement of the parts. (covered under 10 years extended warranty) finally got call to repair the car. now my ac again stop working only hot air. took the car to honda, now the evaporator is leaking. they want $ 2,450 to replace.

The a/c unit is continuously giving out. the condenser and compression shaft have been replaced twice and have now damaged the evaporator causing it to leak. due to the a/c system blowing hot air, driving in the high degree weather has became a risk to myself and passengers. dealership has checked if the parts affected were under warranty to resolve issue, however, honda does not cover evaporator leak problem even though multiple owners have complained about issue. the repair quote is costing owners more than $2k out of pocket that they may have to replace again in a short time. causing financial burden from the brand's negligence. issue will first blow hot air on the driver side and the passenger side will soon follow suit.

At highway speeds or after driving longer distances there is an increased amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel. when making slight adjustments the steering wheel “sticks” and then overcorrects sometimes causing my car to shift into the other lane. i have had several others drive my car and notice the same issue.

Over a several month period the car was losing radiator fluid. i figured it was probably a stuck thermostat and the fluid was coming from the overflow. but only once did i see a minimal amount of fluid. not near the amount that had been lost in the cooling system. fast forward a few months and i am driving home. top speed starts out at the speed limit of 70 and slowly slips to 65 then 60. giving it more gas would increase the rpms but no power or forward thrust was making to the tires. it was as if, it was falling into neutral. the next morning drive to work was much worse. starting with a top speed of 65 within 10 miles on the highway the top speed went to 55 then to 45 then 35. when the top speed was 45 mph i took the first exit and made it through a stop sign on the service road. with a crawling speed of 10 mph it limped into a strip-center parking lot. once it was stopped, pushing the gas pedal would increase rpms but no forward movement. so, i assumed a new transmission (ctv) was in my future and had it towed to a local dependable, honest, five-star reviewed auto shop. they found it misfiring and upon investigation find radiator fluid in the oil. so, they tell me the engine died and they could not even check the transmission. in the end, a used engine with 40k miles was put in it, a newer used transmission, and a new turbo (it was bad too). $14,000 + dollars is what the shop charged in june of 24 and dec of 23. i tried to no avail to have the turbo covered under a lifetime warranty of an autobody shop that had replaced it following a road hazard claim that damaged it.

I have been experiencing engine and transmission issues for nearly 2 years. i have under 90k miles and am the 2nd owner since 2017. there is lack of power, speed inconsistencies, sputtering and hesitation upon acceleration. it feels unsafe. i have taken the vehicle in for a diagnosis and they stated it was an issue with the turbo and it has failed. this should not have occurred as the vehicle is under 120k miles. i have since paid to have it repaired at the cost of $5678.00

Experiencing the same sticky steering issue that a number of other customers have also reported. after driving the vehicle on the highway for 15+ minutes you will start to feel the steeling wheel stick at the center position when turning the wheel from the center position to the right. have not had the vehicle inspected yet. no lights or sensors indicate any issue.

Beginning in april 2024, i noticed that my steering wheel would catch slightly when i was driving straight ahead, so that i needed to overcorrect left and right, with resistance in the steering wheel (like it was moving between two notches). this would happen whenever i drove my car straight ahead. i took my car to the local dealer and, after the first visit where they said i should get four new tires in case stretched bands in my tires were causing the steering problem, on a second visit they diagnosed an internal rack problem and advised a steering rack replacement. the car mileage was slightly under 33,000 miles at this time. i reached out to american honda about the problem, and after they reviewed my case, they provided some goodwill toward the steering rack replacement, they said in part because i've routinely taken my car to the local dealership for service. the steering rack was replaced in september 2024.

Driving on highway to work when check engine light came on in addition to "emissions system problem", "hill start assist", "power steering issue", etc. when scanned for codes it showed misfire codes p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304. when spark plugs and coils were changed one set showed signs of rust. the misfires persisted after changing out these parts. when taken to the dealership they stated that the powertrain warranty had been extended to 6yrs from the original date of purchase because of an oil dilution issue. my car was outside of this warranty and the dealer did not offer to help with repairs. i called honda of america and explained the situation - they also stated that it was outside of warranty. my mechanic has recommended an engine replacement and estimates repair costs over $4000+ for a used engine. radiator fluid had been topped off 3-4 times this year but we did not realize it was leaking into the engine. a full recall should be issued for this, it is a known issue and honda is aware of it. the warranty extension is not enough if the issue is going to keep occurring.

All light are coming in off and on in my car , keys will lock my car but when i walk away it unlocks and rolls all my windows down on its own. had to remove key batteries for it to stop and had a diagnostic ran and it shows the body control module is misfiring and having issues. was told there was a recall on 10th gen honda civics but you sight doesnt show it

I began to experience 'sticky steering' before reaching 90k miles on my vehicle. at its worst, the steering issue would cause the driver to overcorrect when attempting to overcome the notch in the steering while simply trying to stay in the center of a lane on the interstate. because it is a steering issue i had the vehicle inspected at a cost of $236.34, at which time it was recommended that the eps rack and gearbox be replaced at a cost of over $3000 dollars. i declined at that time and went back to my home dealership where the repair was done at a cost of $2055. the rack and gearbox were faulty and the service manager affirmed that it was a known issue on these models, but that honda had yet to do a recall even though they have done recalls on later models.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for service, the contact was informed that both cv axles were fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired at the contact's expense. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an unknown recall. the failure mileage was approximately 99,000. the vin was not available.

The weld on the front drivers seat failed and the seat frame has come apart. the seat is unstable and could in an accident not keep me safe in the vehicle.

There is an active recall on the fuel pump for honda civics. my car fits within the range of time of manufacture, but my vin does not appear with any recalls. the vehicle shakes when starting and will stall most of the time. i can turn it off and turn it back on and the car will start okay, but if i accelerate too quickly or drive too fast or for too long the engine will stall. i have been driving on the highway before and the engine stalls and i have to pull over. the car can be turned off and started again okay, but it’s a safety concern when it happens randomly on the highway with plenty of other cars around.

Ac system fails for the third time since 2021 (fixed twice and issue comes back)

Went to my local dealer on january 11 to have my car checked due to a possible knock in my engine or transmission. they checked it but was not able to find a code or the actual cause after changing the oil of transmission and running it. it still continues to have issues they told me “might need to leave your car overnight because their master technician is not here until monday “ to me i didn’t like much that answer because i spend too much for a no fix or cause. also they could not provide me a loaner as well which was not a good idea no codes in the system or lights in the dashboard , it started a day before i took it to the shop

Steering wheels binds up on highway. if i slightly turn the wheel in any direction it gets stuck that way and i have to use a lot of force to get it to unbind. causes uncontrollable steering adjustment very serious.

Sticky steering when on center and in warmer weather. cannot make minor steering adjustments without overcorrecting left or right. this is an ongoing issue for the past few years.

Failed body control module known issue with honda for years. wants to stick consumer with $1300 repair bill so car can be drive able again.

Occasionally steering was sticking, mostly highway driving. car drifted slightly to left.

In 2019, honda extended the warranty on two components of the a/c systems in 2016-2018 civics: the condenser and the compressor shaft seal. however, it did not extend the warranty on the evaporator. i took my civic to the dealer to diagnose an a/c issue where the system stopped putting out cold air after approximately 45 mins of driving. the dealer found leaks in the condenser, compressor shaft seal, and evaporator. dealer received approval to replace the first two parts under warranty. however, honda would not cover the evaporator. the dealer told me i would need to replace the evaporator, at a cost of nearly $2500, in order to recharge the a/c. simple internet research confirms this is a common problem. honda should be including the evaporator in its extended warranty because it seems to fail at the same rate as the other parts and because it is effectively impossible to replace the two covered parts without replacing the evaporator--which is by far the most expensive of the 3 parts to replace.

A sticky hard steering feeling from the steering wheel. results in a labored, exausting feeling from fighting the steering wheel. results in an over correction of steering at times.

Honda did a software update on my vehicle tied to the recall below. the dealership stated to me that they need to replace the vsa modulator and they are claiming this is not covered since they did the software update a few years ago. i believe they are directly corollated as i don't drive the car much only have 27k miles on the car. they are asking me to the pay for replacing the modulator vsa and are stating that this is not covered under the recall. it's hard for me to beleive how they are unrelated if the software is causing the unit to malfunction and we know the unit needs replacement there is a direct connection. this is costing me $2500. nhtsa recall number:16v-725 mfr campaign id:kc6 campaign description:vsa software update/epb recall date:10/06/2016 recall status:17 character vin required

Electric rack n pinion had to be replaced due to it binding while driving greater than 40 mph. was a safety issue as the steering wound get 'stuck' trying to make adjustments to stay in the lane. causing over steering. it started in january and continuely worsened. i believe there is a recall for later models with the same issue, why not 2016's? cost me approximately $4,000 to replace.

Not sure what component is causing the issue but steering is sticky. for subtle movements or corrections there will be resistance. this is causing jerky movements while driving which could cause an accident in the future.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the steering wheel was inoperable. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact stated that the steering wheel inadvertently turned to the left or the right, causing the contact to forcefully turn the steering wheel. the contact stated that it was difficult to make the turn. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 51,360.

Steering wheel seems to stick when car has been running for 30-40 miles. when going straight and making slight adjustments it sticks then jerks causing oversteering. because of the mileage required to get this to occur the independent mechanic has been unable to replicate. i no longer feel safe taking this vehicle on the freeway or on any road trip.

When driving at highway speed the steering will get stiff and stick. this causes me to put more pressure on the wheel resulting in over correction. it has gotten to the point where it’s unsafe to drive. i’ve read about this issue online. problem w worm gear in steering rack.

At the start of the summer in 2023, i noticed that my ac was only blowing hot air (during >110 degf phoenix summer). i took it to a brakes plus on 4/7/2023 and had an evac and recharge service performed along with a leak test. the test detected a leak from the condenser, and i had the brakes plus shop replace that part. at the start of the summer of 2024 i was back at brakes plus with the same issue, my ac had gradually reverted to blowing only hot air. at that time, i did another evac and recharge service along with a leak test that was not able to detect any issues. most recently, on 2/28/2025, i took my car to brakes plus again due to the same issue with my car ac only blowing hot air. this time, the technicians performed a leak test and saw signs of a leak near the compressor shaft in the form of dye found splattered around that area. so, that prompted us to find the warranty extension for the ac compressor shaft seal. so, i figured this time i would stop and take it to the bell honda service center to confirm that finding. i then set up an appointment with the bell honda service center in phoenix on 3/1/2025. i was told that the only way to check for any leaks in my system would of course be to do an evac and recharge of the system and add some of the dye needed to detect any leak. that cost me ~$320. the diagnosis from the bell honda service center did not find any signs of leakage near the compressor shaft seal and i was not allowed the same courtesy of showing me that in person (or even via a picture) as i had been offered at brakes plus. instead, the diagnosis suggested that my new issue was excessive build up of freon in the evaporator, resulting in a leak, which i was also not visually demonstrated. i asked if there was any warranty eligibility for the evaporator and was able to confirm at the dealership that there was no warranty extension or recall for the evaporator at the moment. however, i did hear of numerous reports of similar evaporator issues.

The contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. in addition, the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor around the exterior of the vehicle. in addition, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor on the interior of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with fuel pump failure. the contact was informed that the fuel pump assembly and filter needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the contact was unclear if the failure was due to a fuel leak. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. the contact was advised to contact the nhtsa hotline to report the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 82,379.

The steering feels like it's sticking slightly to the left of center, and i've been noticing it more as the weather gets warmer. it primarily occurs at slower speeds but becomes more pronounced at higher speeds. when making small adjustments while driving, the steering wheel doesn’t move smoothly and seems to stick. once it passes the sticking point, it causes oversteer, forcing me to overcorrect in the opposite direction. this makes driving, especially at higher speeds, feel very unsafe. through my research, i’ve found that this is a common issue, and there are recalls for this exact problem in my vehicle’s model year. however, after checking my vin, it appears my car is not included in the recall. i'm deeply concerned that this steering defect could lead to an accident. given the numerous reports of the same issue in vehicles not currently covered by the recall, i hope the recall will be expanded to include all affected cars.

One year after buying my car i noticed the steering would stick in place when trying to turn it causing overcorrections in driving. at first this was occurring just occasionally. it got to the point where the sticking of the wheel was everytime i drove the car, making it dangerous to drive, especially on the highway. there were no warnings the car gave off in this situation. i had brought it in twice to a honda dealership regarding this issue. they drove it around independently and did not find the wheel to stick. they did give me a few ideas of what it could possibly be but with no definitive diagnosis. i also had an independent mechanic assess the car and they did not know what the problem was. i have contacted the honda manufacturer twice regarding this issue, especially since finding multiple forums regarding the same complaint for their honda civics. they just tell me there’s nothing they can do and tell me to go back to the same dealership to get another possible diagnosis of the issue. my car is available for inspection if requested.

When driving down the highway the steering sometimes sticks or locks slightly. this is mainly when driving straight and doing a slight turn or correction. alignment and balance are fine on the car. there are no warning lights. this is an intermittent problem and only occurs occasionally. i cant always duplicate. it has not been diagnosed by a mechanic yet as it is intermittent and it only occurs occasionally. initially started around may of 2022 and has continued off and on since, most recently occurring on march 27th, 2025.

Honda - in 2016 i purchased a new honda civic tour model from a dealership and currently have 23000 miles (23k) recently the steering became a problem. i took it to the dealer where i purchased the vehicle and was advised that there was an issue known as "notching" where a gear component became defective. it was dangerous to drive and there was no options but to have it repaired. the repair cost nearly $4000.00 and i was shocked. there was no recall according to the service manager but it was known as a common problem. my wife and i are in our [xxx] and [xxx] so the cost was a large burden financially. i was told that honda-america had a "goodwill" program that will review a case and possibly offer some financial relief. i complied with the info honda solicited and submitted the case for consideration. in the meantime, i had the car repaired at the dealership and paid in full. i didn't ask for any specific amount but told honda i would be appreciative for any financial assistance. obviously we seldom drive the car usually to doctor appointments and needed errands. the customer service rep called and said my claim was denied because of the age (9 yrs.) even in spite of only have less that 23k miles. the original tires are on the car and it still has the "new car" smell. my wife and i are very disappointed with honda's lack of compassion, we even purchased an extended warranty from the dealership when we bought the vehicle but we never used it. honda could have helped us but the service rep made the decision to deny the claim. the customer service that i thought honda was known for is not the case anymore. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

When driving straight at interstate speeds, there seems to be a catch in the steering. it is as if the steering does not want to turn and additional force has to be used to turn. this someone results in over correction of the steering.

2016 honda civic ex-t after getting brakes and rotors replaced the “brake system” light stays on with alerts for: electric parking brake problem, brake system problem, & brake hold system problem. however, the electric parking brake engages and holds and disengages when i flip the switch fine, the car drives and brakes fine, the only thing that doesn’t seem to work is the brake hold button. car drives fine and brakes work fine, alerts won’t go away and are only on the dash not in the notifications in the center console.

Traveling at highway speeds with the vehicle heading in a fairly straight trajectory, attempts to adjust the steering slightly in either direction (to correct for any drifting) are met with resistance in the form of the steering "sticking" to its' current position. abnormal effort is required to "unstick" the steering, at which point there is a jerking result that causes an oversteer in the direction of the attempted correction.

When i bought the car 7 months ago from elite motors in sacramento i also nought a warranty for power train. immediately the a/c was blowing hot air. they fixed it. now it’s blowing hot air again. i went to a shop to fill freon they said there is still pressure in it and tgat they need a diagnosis first because it could be a condenser. i do not have $260 to diagnose this car. can honda be forced to repair this?

At highway speeds (50 mph or more), the car struggles to stay straight. this results in having to constantly adjust the steering wheel, which feels very tight, almost as if it's stuck. this requires using more force which can lead to an overcorrection as the wheel loosens up.

Vehicle is lightly driven for 5 years with only 40k miles. all recommended services were performed on schedule. suddenly, the a/c started to blow only hot air and did not seem to have any cooling capacity. the system is likely leaking refrigerant as honda has officially accepted that some a/c parts are improperly manufactured for 16' honda civics. a recall should be created for all 16' honda civic a/c systems.

A/c blowing warm on driver side at all times

Steering sticks at 40 plus mph. overcompensation is sometimes required and makes it hard to sterer straight. i've noticed that 2017 and newer honda civices are being recalled but not the 2016's. this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled . lots of complainmts with the same issue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Air conditioning is blowing hot air. i think it might be a known issue for this year, make, and model.

The ac system on these models have a factory defect. i was driving on the surface streets the windshield became foggy, i could not see traffic in front of me and suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. i got out of the car and cleaned the windshield with the piece of towel. because the car's ac was not working it could not defogg the windshield. i have contacted honda, but honda doesn't repair it. it is a safety issue.

At highway speeds after driving a long distance (when engine is hot), power steering sticks, making it difficult to drive straight and stay within the lane. smooth steering is not possible. more likely to occur when ambient temperatures are high, and not likely to occur when the weather is cold. this has been happening for years.

2016 honda civic touring. consumer writes regarding loud grinding noise coming from vehicle. *ld the consumer stated the air conditioner failed causing the loud grinding noise. the manufacturer was contacted. the consumer requested to have to reimbursed for the cost of repairs. *js

This issue seems to occur at highway speeds. the steering system seems to have a slight “sticking” point that requires a slight, additional pressure to correct. type of road surface (asphalt, concrete, etc.) seems to have some affect on this issue. it is somewhat disconcerting to have this occur while driving...not a good feeling!!!

At highway speeds vehicle steering sticks causing driver to apply excessive force to turn the steering wheel causing over correction

My car ac wont work and honda dealers want me to pay for diagnosis when they know there is an existing issue with the a/c condenser, compressor and evaporator.

Air compressor went bad.

Steering sticks. it is impossible to drive straight on the freeway forcing you to zig zag continuously in a lane. problem is most notable at speeds over 40mph. problem started was first noted in summer of 2017 (while driving on the freeway) and continues to today.

Ac compressor went out after 37,000 miles. without the ac, it hurts visibility (could not defog the car windows) when raining or living in a high humidity area. this is also a safety issue in hotter climates. also had problems with rear backup camera not working upon startup intermittently.

Transmission replaced twice within 2 months. vehicle makes loud noises. vehicle not safe to drive. transmission is defective. parking brake has technical issues.

I have been experiencing multiple electrical issues since about 6 months after purchase with brake light bulbs repeatedly burning out along with every system icon on the dash flashing off and on while driving the car it will not start always and at times it will not open with the key or the remote fob all being taken in to shops for repairs and within weeks i can be back to the shop with yet another so called fix this recurring problem is a big safety issue

Steering wheel sticks or catches when driving on the highway at speeds greater than 40 mph. steering wheel will not move without extra force from driver. driver has to yank on the steering wheel to get the vehicle to move. steering is not fluid as it should be and can cause the driver to overcorrect if issue is not fixed. this is a safety concern.

At highway speeds the steering sticks when making minor adjustments to stay in lane, in other words, the steering sticks hard and the vehicle stays in the turn. because the steering can't return to center without additional opposite force, breaking the steering free often causes an overcorrect. both scenarios (stuck in the turn, and overcorrecting) represent a serious hazard to drivers and road users. these are not road crown or alignment issues: these are physically stuck steering issues related to honda eps rack 53650-tbc-a01/02. please investigate this before someone gets hurt. there are over 115 complaints about this exact issue on the nhtsa database for the 2016 civic alone, that's without the thousands that almost certainly go unreported.

I was driving on the road and my windshield became foggy to the point i couldn’t see the road ahead of me. tried to defog it, it didn’t work because of the defective ac system on these particular vehicles. although had received a recall notice letter about this issue, the local dealer denied my request to fix the issue. this is a safety issue and must be fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while turning the steering wheel in both direction, the steering wheel failed to return to center, without warning. the contact took the vehicle to norm reeves honda superstore port charlotte (1252 tamiami trail, port charlotte, fl 33953) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a sticky steering wheel. the contact was unable to reach the manufacturer. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 73,000.

Steering sticks while driving and sometimes causes driver to overcorrect. this is dangerous and could lead to a major accident. this issue is happening to many civic owners and for some reason isn't being recalled. has been happening for months, but it seems to be getting worse.

When the fuel door actuator is activated (locking the doors on remote control), the motor makes a loud noise as it locks the fuel door. unlocking does not make a noise. also, when getting into car (unlocking doors) and then driving away, as the door auto-lock the actuator is engaged and it makes a loud noise. sound only happens when the actuator is engaged. sounds like the internal motor is struggling to close/lock the fuel door. it began 2 weeks ago, and the sound is getting worse and annoying.

After being on the road for 30-40 minutes the steering becomes jerky and sticky. feels like the car is trying to over correct when it shouldn’t. i have my car in the dealer since last week where the service guys drove my car and and felt the problem, they submitted a claim under my extended warranty and now the warranty guy can’t find a problem with my car and denied my claim. this is really unprofessional on honda’s part for not addressing this issue that we are all having. i swear i used to love driving my car, now i’m so scared to drive it that i can’t enjoy it. please investigate this because it is really unsafe. i think they want us to crash our cars rather fixing a simple issue and change the eps rack and pinion.

Steering sticks after driving for 20-30mins. usually wheels forward/straight. tends to occur more often on highways, less often on curvy roads. when making slight adjustments to maintain lane position, it takes an unusual and uncomfortable amount of force to get it out of its stuck position. once it breaks free, it is a slight over adjustment. does not seem to stick while in turns. i have replaced factory tires with another brand and performed an alignment, still have the same issue. vehicle has no aftermarket parts. the issue seems to come and go, and i have not noticed a specific pattern.

2016 honda civic fuel door actuator makes a loud buzzing noise when locking. i am told by the honda dealer that the problem is common on civics 2016 thru 2019 and on accords of the same years. this happens when the car starts to move forward and hits 10 mph and when the lock button on the keyfob is pushed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving various speeds, the brake warning indicator flashed intermittently on the instrument panel. the contact also mentioned that the check engine, power steering, and traction control warning indicators also illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that something under the vehicle was chewing the wires and they would need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

The cover on the third brake light has fallen off. the honda dealership has tried to fix it four times and now says there is nothing they can do because this is a known issue at honda and there is no fix. this is a serious safety issue. there is no way to see out the back window in the dark or when condensation is on the window, if the brake is engaged. all you see is a reflection of the brake light. without the backup camera, the car would not be drivable. this occurs when stationary or in motion. it

The third brake light cover (inside top center of rear window) on my 2016 honda civic coupe is loose/drooping/falling off on the back passenger side with right-rear of cover separated by about 1/4" gap from inside of rear window. this condition has existed since i purchased the car on september 30, 2016. this allows distracting light leak while driving at night and impairs visibility through the rear window. based upon information online honda does not yet have a fix for this even though it has been widely reported occurring on the 2016 civic coupes since june 2016..

Takata recall hey, my car honda civic coupe broke down in september reason was tire and brake i think. i was driving in regular speed and my tire blowoff and brake didn't work in same time. i run over the hill and broke my both excel.

The cover for the reverse light, rear window, of the 2016 civic has dropped and after repeated attempts trying to get american honda to correct, still has not been fixed. the cover can't be removed as the reverse light is too bright and makes it impossible to see out the rear window at night. during the day, the cover obscures objects/cars in the rear view window.

The 3rd brake light that's on the inside of the rear window (i have the coupe) has a cover which keeps the light directed outside of the car and attaches to the window. the glue holding it to the window isn't strong enough, so the cover hangs down, blocking some of the rear window, reducing visibility. also, at night the light itself washes out the rear window, making it difficult to see out the back at all. this problem is affecting 100% of the 2016 coupes that have ever been out on a warm day (heat melts the glue), and honda isn't fixing it. they've been stringing us along for 5 months now, promising a fix in "a month" or "a couple weeks", with no resolution. last i heard, they said on november 7th that it would be released in 8-12 weeks. it feels like their plan is to just keep this up until people super glue the casing to the window themselves or decide badgering honda about it isn't worth it anymore. please make them fix their problem.

Repeated issues with faulty dashboard electronic warning system which alerts brake failure and experience with acceleration problem and other related issues. these issues occurred while driving on city streets.

Brand new 2016 honda civic - my family has purchased 2 of these vehicles same exact ex-l model in the last month just different colors. both tpms sensor lights have come on within the first few hundred miles of driving the cars! *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda civic. while stationary, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. the seat belt did not restrain the contact and the air bags failed to deploy. the contact struck the windshield and received medical attention. the contact was undergoing physical therapy. the other driver was not injured. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. honda would not replace the vehicle. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 13,000.

Cover for center brake light keeps coming loose, obscuring rear window and flooding interior with red light when brake is applied at night. known issue, but dealers do not have guidance on how to permanently fix it.

The electric emergency brake failed. the car was parked, ignition turned off, emergency brake applied, and left the vehicle. when i returned, the car had rolled backwards down a road and slammed into another parked car causing damage to both vehicles. no injuries related to the accident. police report is not available yet. we found about the recall that was issued in mid-october but we have not been notified/contacted yet.

The high-mounted brake light cover, mounted on the rear window, has detached itself from the window. this has resulted in a loss of visibility due to the plastic cover blocking important visual information from outside the car. in addition, red light from the brake light illuminates the rear window, making it almost impossible to see outside at night. i report this to the dealer (roberts honda in downingtown, pa) who said that "all civic coupes have had this problem, honda america is aware, but has not provided a fix"

Me an my boyfriend almost got into an accident when the engine of our vehicle stopped working in the middle of the highway. luckily we were able to pull over at the last second when the engine actually stopped. we were still in a dangerous area and i couldn't even describe to aaa where were. fortunately a tow truck driver was passing by and saw us on the side of the road and stopped to help us. just to give some back story my boyfriend was reading an article about a recall for the piston ring/clip affecting the engine on the 2016 honda civics and we immediately went to our dealership and had the car inspected. we were told that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and that there was not a recall on the vehicle. later on warning lights in the car started to turn on included the brake and engine light. we had a worker at autozone check the lights with one of their tools and were told the lights may have been turned off in the initial inspection of the vehicle prior to our purchase. we went back twice speaking to the manager and service team and were turned away with a list of all of the lights on in the vehicle with no remedy to fix any of the issues. when we brought up the recall again we were told our car did not fall under it. because of their negligence i and my boyfriend could ave lost our lives in an accident on the highway. we bought the car may 2016 and the recall was issued february 2016 and was still open at the time of purchase considering the parts to fix the piston problem would not be available until summer. so we were sold a car with an open recall and the issue was not fixed prior to purchase. now i am stranded without a car because the engine has sustained damage due to this issue. i want my money back and i no longer want this faulty and unsafe vehicle, and i do not trust honda to fix the issue. we need your help nhtsa!

The housing that surrounds the third brake light is not fully affixed to the rear interior window. the housing just bouces up and down and red light floods the back window when the brake is applied. this situation makes it difficult to see out of the back window at night.

Upon startup vsa, tpms, cmbs, brake warning illuminated at 4400 miles. power steering failed. delivered to dealer for repair.

I parked my 2016 honda civic in my garage and set the parking brake. i exited the vehicle and walked into the house. the vehicle must have rolled out of the garage (garage surface is rather flat, probably why i didn't see this happen) down my sloped driveway ended up in the neighbors yard. vehicle sustained damage to the exhaust, bumper, underside of trunk and right rear tire. thank goodness that nobody was injured. at the time i thought maybe i made a mistake but now that honda has issued a recall on the parking brake i understand what really happened. i did set the parking brake but it appears that it did not ever set. i have since seen this happen again when i have parked on other somewhat flat surfaces and returned to my vehicle and it appears as though it had moved a small amount. with the release of details in the safety recall (nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 ) i now understand more about what happened.

Its been 4 months now that the 3rd light brake in my car still pending resolution. it blocks my rear view as it is hanging 3 inches down with this black square 5 x 5 x 5 to cover th light. i can't driver this car in the night because its dangerous to driver it due to the size of the box. i am still waiting for for honda to resolve this problem

1. vehicle about 10 days after purchase while in motion on a city street suddenly stopped and all the lights came on. towed back to dealership, found abs modulator leaking. 2. about 3 months later car was stationary in a parking lot would not start. towed back to dealership and transmission control module was faulty.

Today i purchased a new (demo/4,900+ miles) 2016 honda civic. while the salesman was demonstrating how to use the phone/connectivity features it was discovered the phone system was malfunctioning. i was advised to try it again when i drove off the lot to take my brand new car home and it may work when i got away from the lot. it did not. the phone is non working and the voice recognition is useless.

Car stalls; with no warning just turns off this happens with no rhyme or reason and has happened multiple times many of which is not documented because it was not taken into a dealer; i could not afford a tow. i have now signed up for aaa and had it towed into a dealer this last occurrence. documented with dealerships on 5/12/16 car had 396 miles on it; 6/3/16 car had 2722 miles on it; 10/13/16 car had 10745 miles on it and this is the time the service department had it happen to them nine times before it suddenly stopped happening. happened going 75 mph going down the interstate. happens when pulling out of a parking lot. happens driving down a city street. have contacted honda corp (case#05150093) and asked for help but have not had a resolution. the honda service department has recreated the issue (copy of service ticket attached) then all of a sudden they could not get it to happen again so they told my son to come get it and drive it until it happens again then call them to tow it back in. this car is unsafe and he could lose his life and potentially many others. please help. i don't want to lose my son or any other life be taken because honda will not stand behind their product. *tr

Rear high mount brake light coming off windshield the evening i took delivery of vehicle. took it back to dealer where they tried to reattach it. the repair lasted a day. they ordered a new assembly and tried to attach it. the assembly was unglued before i got home. it has not yet come fully off, but it is a distraction and, when using the brakes at night, obscures my vision through the rear windshield. dealer said this is a known defect an are waiting on honda of america to come up with a repair. very poor engineering on honda's part and i don't know what i'm going to do if/when the thing comes fully off. i was driving home the first time i took notice of the problem. the car was stationary when i noticed it the second time. i don't think movement was a factor, just poor design and adhesion. *tr

Driving on i-5. all of the sudden, i heard a pop and the glass from my sunroof was falling on me. i did not see any rocks or objects hit my vehicle. traffic was moving fairly slow. no semi trucks in front of me. dealership said a rock must of hit my sunroof but nothing found.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the third brake light detached from the vehicle, which caused a red glare that impaired the contact's vision. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 500. the vin was not available.

Driving the car home at 7 pm and heard a loud pop noise like a gunshot. no other vehicles in site and on a road where there are no homes just open fields. pulled over to find the sunroof had a huge hole in the middle of it and the rest of the glass that was still tact was in tiny pieces like and looked like a spider web. the glass was protruding upward like it had pressure from the inside. had the the visor for the sunroof been open in the car while it was being driven this glass would have fallen directly into our eyes possibly causing vision problems. i called honda care and they would not cover the repair because they said by the time the car got to the dealer ship to be repaired it had very little glass left in it. this car has under 2500 miles on it and i have not even paid the first note.

The radio or said infotainment system does not work as advertised, not allowing you to use your google navigation or bluetooth which are 2 big safety concerns, the internet is flooded with complaints and all say honda is ignoring the problem and refusing a fix.

My steering wheel sticks. when i am driving straight while maintianing a straight path you have to make steering adjustments. it stick and then causes me to over compensate. when driving around a curve i can let go of the steering wheel and it hold the curve and doesn't roll back tot he center position like it should. i have taken it to the dealership and they cant recreate it so nothing gets fix. it happens about 40 percent of the time. it happens while in motion. my car is still under warranty

After parking and locking my vehicle, when i later returned to my car all four windows were open approximately 3/4 of the way. this has happened 3 times. in one instance, the car had been parked prior to a rainstorm and after the rain had ended, i went out to the car to go on an errand and again all four windows were 3/4 of the way open.

Engine eaten by rats 2 times; engine harness destroyed first time; car hasn't been the same since this; found more rat droppings in the engine; car shakes so bad the rear view mirror is hard to see out of car is not stable on any road; alignment has been done 4 times on vehicle still not aligned; have taken to dealer multiple times they tell me its the road; car does not shift properly; when turn on car it shakes for about 5 minutes until warmed up. i don't feel safe in this vehicle.

On two occasions, my civic has "locked up". upon starting the vehicle, all of the warning light illuminate and the car won't go into gear. i was stuck where i was and had to get the car moving so i forcefully engaged the vehicle by inserting the key into the shift knob area. when driving the car, all of the warning lights were still on and the steering wheel was difficult to move, the vehicle was very hard to maneuver, the brakes did not work well, and the problem persisted. i eventually disconnected the battery and "reset" the computer that way. the problem went away for a few months, then came back again same exact way. the next time, i did the same thing, disconnected the battery and it reset. i do not know if this problem is with the electrical system, transmission, braking, or whatever. all i know is it was very dangerous to drive after i was finally able to engage the transmission. one other point to make, i already had the "parking brake recall" software update completed by honda. the dealership said they did not have a recall for this type of problem and all they could do would be restart the car until they were able to recreate the problem. i did no think this was a good use of time (theirs or mine) so i am hoping for a recall soon!

Upon starting vehicle, center console screen was black. when i tapped the power button, the screen flashed green and went black. no radio function, no camera function, nothing. i drove on city streets to the gas station and in a few minutes, the computer suddenly woke up by itself and has been fine since. just called the service dept. woman said no one has called about a problem like this, but they'd be happy to run a diagnostic for $100. i've been down this road before with my old prius. they'll run the diagnostic and tell me they can't find anything wrong because they can't recreate the problem. meanwhile i'll be out $100 and my time. and looking at forums on the internet, this is a problem for other honda owners, so honda needs to do something about this. it can be a safety issue. drive by wire is dangerous if manufacturers can't get reliable software. we'll see if i hear back from the service department or not about tsb or software updates. i doubt it.

The windshield wipers are too weak to handle a medium to hard rain storm. i was caught in a bad storm while on the freeway and had my windshield wipers on full setting but still not strong enough to allow safe visibility. it was a very dangerous and frightening experience.

Driving down the highway and sunroof exploded. not going under any overpass or bridge. glass rained down on me at highway speeds. no cars near me. and not driving under an overpass or bridge at the time.

March 2017 - two instances while putting gas, nozzle got stuck in the capless system causing owner panic, left with no instructions to prevent such occurrence or solve the problem. opened ticket with honda april 2, 2017 case # 05919498 - no response as of today june 27, 2017. not sure prevalence, observed some complaints online.

Rear wheels lock intermittently. excessive rear rotor wear, with normal wear on pads. appears as if pads have worn out allowing for grinding against rotors. however, pads exhibit normal wear. honda offers no explanation for corrosion. for comparison have attached photos of rear rotor and front rotor. rear rotors exhibit significant wear/corrosion with pad life around 60%. this is equal on both rear wheels of the vehicle. front rotors have normal wear @70% pad remaining. california based vehicle, but exposed to snow and winter driving. rear wheels lock on an intermittent basis, as if rear parking brake is being applied. potentially very dangerous, especially in cold weather driving.

Sir/ma'am, i would like to address somewhat safety problem that many civic have. honda civic has a center touch screen that controls radio, temperature and importantly shows rear view camera and right side camera. today the center screen didn't even turn on and wasn't able to see an object rear and underneath of my car due to the screen not turned on. it is known issue for civic community. i wish that nhtsa take a look into this issues.

I pressed my automatic start key from the window of the building , while i was getting ready ,(washing my face, brushing teeth) after a couple seconds later i heard the sound of the alarm , which would usually turn on if there is a hit or impact or loud sound . when i came downstairs, about 5-10 minutes later . i noticed the front window was shattered , i figured maybe one the neighbors was playing ball and hit my window, when i opened my door i realized there was a fire inside coming directly from the dashboard, everything was melted and my dashboard was also sunk in. i checked if there was an outlet connected or usb ports and did not find an answer. i contacted the dealership and they said they were unable to help and only advice that was given was to contact my insurance , they also added they would not be taking care of any damages in the vehicle and that they were not responsible for this and also did not know why, nor were even interested in investigating. the car was in complete park mode, and off overnight. no one deserves to take their siblings to school and instead be welcomed by a malfunctioning defective 2016 year vehicle.

On may 09, 2017 i was rear ended while sitting still by a car traveling approximately 45 mph and pushed into the car in front of me. i was wearing my seatbelt and my face was projected into the steering wheel. during the impact my seatbelt didn't seem to activate and not one airbag deployed. my vehicle has not been inspected yet but i would guess it to be totaled due to the front and rear impact damage. everyone i've spoke to including the police officer and wrecker service was very surprised that the airbags didn't deploy. i feel very lucky but do not trust this vehicle and it's safety features.

This car's horn really can not be heard by another driver. i really feel this is a safety hazard. i can't imagine a complaint has not been filed. it really is dangerous.

The ac has went out on two occasions. the first occasion was due to the system needing to be recharged. the second being a hose was not connected correctly. the back tweeter speakers went out and had to be replaced. 3 audio updates needed to be done. while driving the car stopped accelerating and the car started shaking. there was no brakes or power steering at this time. different codes started lighting up the dash. i was able to get the car stopped and off the road into the ditch area. it is currently at honda.

When refueling my civic there is a 50/50 chance it will over fule and not stop the gas pump. sometimes gasoline will overfill enough to make it to the ground. i have been to the dealer about this twice, both times being told honda is aware and investigating. this is a major safety hazard. what would happen if someone were to discard a cigarette, and catch that gasoline that overfilled and spilled out of the car on fire?

The electric parking brake continues to generate error codes. i've had it in service at honda dealers multiple times for the same problem. honda even issued a recall however, i've had the software update for this problem twice and is still messing up. it has engaged the parking brake on its own.

At a certain freeway speed 60+ mph with the combination of a particular incline of the roadway the back end of the vehicle starts to slightly fishtail which leads to instability in controlling the vehicle. this fishtailing action takes place at the downward travel on the inclining road. we have tested this phenomenon several times and each time when the vehicle reaches that certain speed and certain roadway incline it has done this fishtailing motion. it's been on several different freeways with the same degree of incline. we have owned several honda civics and acuras in our family and have never experienced this driving instability in any of these vehicles. the tires have been rotated, thinking this might be the issue? no change at all. we mentioned to the honda service department and they look at you like your crazy and say they have never heard of this. so we decided to fill this complaint in fear of the safety factor. we have 3 different people that drive this vehicle and everyone has experienced the same fishtailing sensation. as you increase the vehicles speed and these particular inclines, the worse the fishtailing gets!!! we feel it must be some kind of design flaw relating to the aerodynamics of the vehicle? or it's not weighted down properly? we would very much appreciate a response and plan of action to see what exactly is causing this fishtailing issue. like i mentioned never have we felt this in any other of our honda civics or acuras driving that exact freeway at those speeds. something is definitely wrong and it is a safety concern for our family and other owners that might be experience this same driving instability. this has happened since the day we bought the vehicle new from the dealer.

The cover on the third brake light at top center of the rear window on the coupe version of this car does not stay adhered to the window. this causes a safety issue i visibility in the rear view mirror. besides reducing visual sight area. at night the red light upon brake application is both distracting obliterates any other viewing out of the read window. dealer attempt to fix was unsuccessful. part needs to be redesigned for better installation method than double sided tape on the edge of the part. many other coupe owners have complained online about this issue.

The sunroof spontaneously shattered. no rock, no object. exploded itself.

Purchased a new 2016 civic touring in may 2016. within a couple of weeks i was having small electrical issues such as screens going black, rebooting, and stereo not working. i would get a failure warning on the dash once in awhile (different each time). car failed to start on july 26th 2016. all screens were flashing error messages. car would not start. i called the dealer and had the car towed. dealer claimed they have never seem this problem. they kept the car for a couple of days and stated there was nothing wrong, and they couldn't replicate the problem. i would continue to have the same small problems with the car every so often. until, the car slammed on the brakes coming to a complete stop by itself and computer took 100% control of the car. i couldn't steer, accelerate, or control the car at all. i nearly got rear ended in an intersection. there was not a car directly in front of me that would have caused the collision avoidance to brake in order to avoid an accident. after the car came to a complete stop i regained control again and the car operated normal. soon after, while attempting to start the car i received the all the error codes again and it the car wouldn't start. i again called the dealer and had it towed. dealer cannot tell me why the car self braked and cannot replicate it. i have an open case# with honda of america. i have told both the dealership and honda of america the car is unsafe to drive. my wife and daughter are both scared for their safety to drive it. no one from my family including myself will be driving the car ever again, nor can i sell it to someone else. they need to purchase the car back from me and find out what is causing this to ensure no one gets seriously injured from this happening again.

I purchased my 2016 civic ex in november 2015. very soon after i noticed 4 notifications on the touchscreen regarding brake system failure. i brought the vehicle in to the service department and was told those notifications were from manufacturing and were most likely not cleared during intake walkthrough. in june i started noticing a relay clicking noise coming from under the steering column that persisted while driving. it happens while the vehicle is in motion, or when i remove my foot from the brake pedal while at a stop. as soon as i depress the brake petal the click stops. as of today i have had my vehicle in for service 4 times to correct the issue and it continues. first they replaced the brake light switch and as soon as i left the parking lot the vehicle began clicking. they replaced the vsa modulator and insisted the clicking had ceased. the clicking began as soon as i left the dealership. the third time the service techs were unable to duplicate and therefore not able to investigate or repair. clicking began as soon as i left the dealership and continued there after. again the 4 brake failure notifications appeared on the touchscreen so i returned to the dealership with the vehicle. every repair attempt has been something to do with the braking system and i continue to have brake failure notifications and an issue the techs are unable to repair. i do not feel safe continuing to drive myself and my children in this vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic equipped with four hankook tires, size: 215/50r/17 91h (na). while driving approximately 50 mph, the front driver's side tire suddenly experienced a blow out, which damaged the front end of the vehicle. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the dot number was not availiable. the tire and vehicle failure mileage was 3,000.

During cold start up or warm start up, there is mechanical grinding noise. the grinding noise does not happen constantly but at random, indicating there may be a mechanical malfunction on engine component.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the electric parking brake, brake hold system, and air bag srs warning indicators flashed, and the lane keep assist warning indicator deactivated. the vehicle lost power and various warning indicators and gauges flickered. the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. the vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed to a dealer. the dealer was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure, but test drove the vehicle. the vehicle was left at the dealer. the contact placed two calls to the manufacturer, left a voice message, and was waiting for a response. the vin and failure mileage were not available.

Bought this car brand new off the lot. when car is started, it randomly makes a mechanical grinding noise. it is getting worse with time and beginning to happen more often. i've taken it to honda multiple times and they have even replaced the starter with no solution. they tell me they have no idea how to fix it and to wait for a recall. car is beginning to idle high and jerk back and forth while accelerating in traffic.

I leased the honda civic 2016 at woodland hills honda. it was after leasing date, within 24-48 hours time, i returned to the car dealership to explain that i did not have an understanding that the honda civic 2016 did not come with a cd player and only offered an auxiliary cord outlet to work the entire sound system by my cell phone. the car dealership explained that they were unwilling to help me with a new car unless i wanted to pay more money but i could not get a new car at the same price. i argued for months with the dealership that being forced to work the audio system and run my maps for navigation through my cell phone posed a serious threat of distracted driving. the car is built in such a way, that the driver is only given an option to use the cell phone to operate audio and navigation. the way that the car is built, without the cd player, and only an auxiliary cord to plug into my phone to work the sound system interface conflicts with the california anti-texting law vc 23123.5. being forced to work my sound system and maps for navigation on my cell phone is the same spirit as to what and why this is against the law. it is distracted driving. salesmen are not clearly explaining that you are buying a car with no cd player and you need to work your music from your cell phone. there is also more confusion at the point of sale because there are other cars that come with both the aux cord and also the cd player such as the honda accord 2016 pilot for example. when i purchased the vehicle, i believed i was buying a car with both the aux cord and the cd player. later, is when i learned, i leased the vehicle with only the aux cord option. i requested to end my contract on numerous occasions as i believed the car was a police magnet. i don't want to drive a car that makes me do something to attract officers. this is a safety and legal concern. ticketed on 8/31/16.

Third brake light housing feel off the same day that i purchased the vehicle. at night, the entire rear window lights up when i brake. this is a blinding and distracting light that prevents me from seeing out of my back window. this is a safety concern. dealer refuses to fix this as per instructions from honda.

Black box holding 3rd brake light is falling and blocking the rear view . it is down by 3 inches and thre's limited visivility when looking at the rear of the car as this box is blocking the view. west covina norm reeves don't have anymore option to fix this problem. they have used velcro and tape and due to the hot weather this 4x4x4x4 black box is a safety hazard esp. in the night where you dont have full view at the rear of the car. no option to fix this problem but still waiting for the dealer to contact me if theres any solution. this is a brand new car when i bought it with 26 miles on it honda coupe 2016.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle became difficult to steer and voluntarily drifted into the other lanes. the contact had to use force to steer the vehicle. the lane departure and steering required warning indicators illuminated. the dealer was unable to locate a failure. the failure recurred. in addition, there was a three second delay for the acceleration and abs. after the delay, the vehicle surged with power and accelerated at a rapid speed. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. the failure mileage was 40.

While driving 25 mph in daytime/dry conditions/light traffic on a straight portion of a two-lane street, vehicle lost instrumentation (tach, speedometer, and central display) for approx. 45-60 seconds. as system reset, large "h" was displayed for a period and then instrumentation was restored. queried service rep at the dealership who said it wasn't a known issue. occurred about mar 16. hasn't reoccurred yet.

Honda civic 2016 x 4s a pebble cracked windshield 60mph zone durham freeway 147 (4300 miles) july 17, 2016. replaced with honda windshield solar glass acoustic e4 dot 865asim7845. 43r-10979 on july 20, 2016. this windshield lasted 5 weeks. pebble in 45 mph zone nc state 87 with no vehicle in front of me on august 27, 2016. honda parts has a web page thread. this problem with cracked windshields is happening across the country with this model honda civic x. i am concerned about having an accident in this vehicle; since the windshields have not held up in a 45 mph and 60 mph posted speeds in both situations. these windshields are also in short supply. had to wait five weeks for the second one. have ordered my third windshield today. have photographs of both windshields but had some difficulty in uploading them to this page.

3rd rear brake light cover on 2016 civic coupe came loose and when brakes are used 3rd brake light reflects on rear widow causing visibility problem at night. also cover flaps against window when windows of car are open.dealer tried to glue cover it lasted 15 minutes. they said the currently have no fix. honda needs to fix this design flaw problem especially since this is a safety issue.

Third brake light cover will not stay up. this causes a visibility issue when driving at night or in rain, as the reflection from the red light covers the entire back window and reflects in the side mirrors. you cannot see. it does not matter if the temp is hot or not. leased in ohio end of june and was like that then, as were all coupes on lot. dealer said they could glue in ohio. called another dealer he said not to do that, would void warranty. car now with son at college in florida. called dealer there, knew nothing. this is a hazard driving and i want it documented, as pretty much all other 2016 honda coupe owners do, that if this causes an accident, there have been plenty of complaints at honda service departments about. there is a forum that has pages of the same complaint and attempted fixes, but none work. it even states that since july 2016 honda is working on a fix. this is a danger and needs fixed asap.

The 3rd brake light on my new civic has been repaired and replaced twice and it will not stay covering the brake light , poses a safety hazard while driving as it hangs down and at night the brake light shines thru the windshield will be taking back to dealer for third time to try and rectify.

Car purchased in may , with 3700 k has had 3 issues: getting ready to back up out of driveway - the backup screen was diminished to a small sliver across the top of entire screen with the balance of screen black. took it to dealer to be fixed. when i drove away, error messages, "tire pressure low, brake system problem, charging system problem and anti lock brake system problem." tok it right back to the dealer, they said the technician failed to forgot to allow the computer to run thru the entire cycle before returning the car to me. just had problem with the a/c. car would blow hot air after 15 mins of driving - was told hose was collasping keeping cold air from coming out. hose was replaced- did not fix the problem, same issue after 15 mins of driving. had to completely turn off air and leave it off for 1/2 hour or more to get a/c to work. dealer has now replaced the a/c compressor.

The cover for the third brake light on the rear window does not stay attached to my 2016 civic coupe. i believe it's going to cause a safety issue when it limits my visibility in rear view mirror. i bring my new car back to the dealer four time so far for the same problem and still not fix. their service department replace the third brake light cover but the new part does not stay attached either. i strongly believe that this part needs to be redesigned for a better attachment to the rear window . i do hope at this point that honda will fix this problem soon

Electronic brake failure - turned vehicle on in driveway, brakes locked. car towed. honda has a work around process to avoid this. i read posts that this occurred to people while driving on highway. i do not feel safe in this car. honda does not have a fix for this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while operating the vehicle, the tire pressure monitoring system light erroneously illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 600.

Unbelievable weaken windshield!!!

Third brake light housing came undone. i've researched several honda civic forums and this seems to be a wide spread problem. one complaint even read that when they contacted their dealer they said that every single 2016 civic coupe they had in the lot is having this issue. mind you those vehicles haven't even been driven yet. while for me this is mildly annoying i can see how this can cause real visibility issues. so far there are no permanent fixes by honda for this. i fully expect a recall once a permanent fix is made by honda and there should be one. not only is this annoying but it is a safety issue as well.

Within a month of purchasing my car in july the third brake light cover has fallen down. when it is dark the red light from the brake light reflects on the rear window making it difficult to see out the rear window. the vehicle was stationary when the fault was initially noticed. honda has not come up with any fix to this problem. the adhesive used for the third brake light cover is not strong enough to with stand the heat absorbed by the back windshield.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic equipped with hankook kinergy (na) tires, size: 215/55r16 (na). while driving approximately 60 mph, the rear passenger side tire blew out and detached from the vehicle without warning. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tread separated and caused the tire to blow out. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage and vin were not provided.

The cover on the third brake light at the top center of the rear window on the coupe version of this car does not stay adhered to the window. this causes a safety issue in visibility in the rear view mirror. besides reducing visual sight area, at night the red light upon brake application is both distracting and obliterates any other viewing out of the rear window. dealer attempt to fix was unsuccessful. part needs to be redesigned for a better installation method than double sided tape on the edge of the part. many other coupe owners have complained online about this same issue.

Tire pressure monitoring system light erroneously illuminated at about 750 miles while travelling on interstate... car brand new... checked all pressures at 65f cold and all at pressures specified on door jamb... did not find any punctures or objects in tire... haven't taken it to dealer but i manually reset system by "calibrating..." light is now back at about 825 miles...

Third brake light cover will not stay affixed to window causing light to flood the back glass when braking.

3rd light brake cover on coupe falls off. fell off with 17 miles on the vehicle. numerous repair attempts have failed. result rear window floods with red light at night causing a serious safety issue *blinding*. no known recalls or fix attempts by honda have repaired issue. unable to drive the car at night!!! serious safety issue and design flaw

Third brake light came came loose shortly after driving the car off the dealer lot and persisted after attempting a fix. dealer replaced the adhesive and it did not fix the issue. third brake light housing loose severely affects visibility through rear windshield. braking at night illuminates the entire rear windshield and severely obstructs the view. definite safety issue that requires a recall.

My wife gets 'sick' after riding in said car. we suspect that the car is emitting volatile organic compounds (vocs) to which she is sensitive. this has been an ongoing phenomenon since we purchased the car in august 2016 (it is now february 2017).

Battery died in normal weather condition in austin tx on 2/20/17. evey electrical operation was disabled. by jump starting the car, the battery was tested at auto parts shop autozone. the austzone technician reported that the battery was not holding the charge.

Breaking system recall not performed by honda dealership, even when asked and talked about. asked service member and the general manager, both took a "do not care" approach. i feel this should be investigated. this is roper honda in joplin, mo.

There are three issues with this 2016 honda civic. however one of these issues must be addressed "immediately". when you go to park your car,(having it in a stationary position) you push the push button to turn it off. however if your vehicle is still in drive when you turn it off, it "turns off" and gives you a warning tone. but!!!! if your hard of hearing, and you don't hear this tone, you go to get out of your vehicle and it either rolls backwards (knocking you down with the door) as it rolls away from you (and hopefully not over you), "or" it rolls forward, running completely away from you. there is no safety feature, such as the acura. the acura automatically locks your cars position so it doesn't roll away from you or over you... my boyfriend has been hurt twice due to this unsafe feature. and i myself have been surprised by it once. this car only has 5,000 miles on it. question is? how many more miles will it be able to accumulate before killing one of us, or someone else? if there was a way for me to send you a video of this i would. but i do not know how to upload from my phone.

Trunk spontaneously opens. it hasn't happened while driving. i have taken it to the dealer, contacted honda's headquarters. they are unable to reproduce the issue so cannot fix it. there are others on the civic online forum who are experiencing this issue. this is a security issue where i cannot keep anything in my trunk. this is not right. one night after i got home, i went back out to my car and the trunk was opened. on numerous occasions, i go out to my car in the morning or after work and my trunk is open. i keep the keys as far away from the car as i can, i hang them up, but them in the bedroom and it does not good--so it is not the sensitivity of the key. i also noticed my gas tank hatch opens after i fill the tank. see the attached correspondence to honda dated today.

I was driving down the highway and a small rock hit my windshield and cracked it right where the rear view mirror is attached. there is no impacted point in the glass just the splintering of the glass. safelite had to make a small hole just to do the repair. is this windshield defective? it happen to my son's girlfriend's 2017 honda civic as well. we both just purchased the vehicles. there are numerous complaints online as well. i am concerned that the windshield is inferior or defective and is a safety issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. upon changing gears from park to any other gear, the gears were slow to change over. the vehicle jerked and later accelerated to change gears. the vehicle was taken to the dealer more than three times, but the cause of the failures could not be replicated and diagnosed. a service center manager indicated that the condition was experienced more than twice from a test drive, but provided no recommended solution. the dealer kept the vehicle for weeks. the manufacturer did not provide the dealer with a remedy. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v574000 (power train). the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle windshield defrost system failed, and caused the contact to be unable to defrost the windshield when driving in inclement weather. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to ide honda 875 panorama trl s, rochester, ny 14625 phone number (585) 586-2820 where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor failed due to a defective condenser that was allowing the freon to escape. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted. the failure mileage was 65,000.

I was driving on the freeway and had to come to a complete stop immediately from 60 mph, but could not stop in time. a collision occurred with the stopped car in front of me and the car was extremely damaged, to the point of not starting, but the air bags did not deploy.

Our civic's steering became very 'sticky' around 6 months ago and the problem develops at speed. the steering gets jerky and momentarily gets locked in a position that we need to fight against. we had a service scheduled at honda and asked them to inspect the issue and they are not able to diagnose the problem correctly. they are deflecting and are suggesting it could be caused by us running over something that could have damaged the steering setup. there is no alignment issue and the car has only been driven 16k miles in 4.5 years (it's our second car).

Had ac condenser replaced in vehicle. one year later and the ac is not working again. took vehicle into dealership and they told me it was the compressor. quoted $1500 to fix. i declined and contacted corporate. dealer called and asked me to come back in because they wanted to check it further. inserted dye in ac system. told me there was no leak, but when i asked them to check again they stated there was a leak in the evaporator. submitted claim to honda and they denied my claim based on the fact i have only had one honda, i don’t go to the dealership for regular service, and because it’s not under warranty. confirmed that nothing was ever wrong with compressor and they admitted this mistake. want $2000 to replace evaporator.

The air conditioning no longer works on the drivers side only blows hot air;the passenger side blow cool air,honda has known a/c issues with the corrosive 1234yf refrigerant that impacts the entire cooling system. service bulletin 19-091 covers the condenser however does not cover the compressor, clutch or coil and those parts are a costly fix.the air conditioning compressor is a known issue with the 2016 honda civic. the compressors are known to leak and costed me $1687.47 in a 4 years automobile with only 27062 miles for replacing the compressor. honda has ignored the problem and they should recall or issue a service bulletin extending a warranty for those defective a/c parts.

Brand new honda civic sedan touring has had navigation system/gps problems from day two: - does not acquire satellite data / does not connect to satellite - navigation system showing the car location completely wrong, sometimes by a mile - navigation system rebooting itself while driving - car symbol is wiggling all over the map while driving this happens almost every time car is driven, on a two-lane street or on a highway, day or night. more than 10 instances caught on video and pictures. there have been times when it endangered car passengers' safety by showing wrong information and giving wrong directions in unfamiliar surroundings where gps/navigation system were needed. it has been taken back to the selling dealership three times for repair: first time a navigation software "reset" was performed, second time was kept for 9 days and the hmi head was replaced, third time was kept for 6 days and the antenna was replaced. it continues to have the same problems. after more than 21 days of dragging their feet the selling dealership has agreed to look at the car again, monday jan. 16th. the car right now has less than 4,500 miles.

If you have to brake suddenly, vehicle will not reaccelerate when pressing accelerator. you have to pump accelerator several times before it starts working properly again and vehicle resumes acceleration. this has almost caused me several accidents already. very dangerous! especially for an inexperienced driver. also, seatbelt locks up tightly and you cannot move upon sudden braking. you have to play with it for a while before it loosens up. this is also dangerous because you cannot look around to see your surroundings.

The honda civic was in the driveway with the emergency brake set when it was parked. the vehicle has a manual transmission. a few hours later the car alarm was going off and when i went to look to see what was going on i discovered that the car had rolled down the drive and into a telephone pole. the police in my jurisdiction do not take accident reports for accidents on private property therefore a police report was not taken. after the incident i found that there was a active recall involving the emergency brake. when i bought the car on october 8, 2016 i was told there was a "do not sell" note in the computer system due to the recall. the dealer said they could do the download while we did the paperwork. after this incident involving the wreck the car was taken to a local dealer who checked the download and confirmed that the download was up to date. the car was taken back to the dealer two days later to have the brake system inspected which the dealer stated that there were no codes found in the system. this was done at the advice of honda customer service. honda customer service contacted me today and stated that at this time they recommend proceeding with an insurance claim. i stated that i thought that since there was an active recall and the recall had been performed on the vehicle and the emergency brake still failed that they would want to take the car to look at. i was told that they would look at the dealer reports and if they found something they would contact me back which seems dangerous to me. what's to say the brake won't fail again and next time there may be someone behind it or in front of it. *tr

Driving into a small town at approximately 45 mph sounded like a gunshot went off inside the car. the sunroof had exploded. no traffic was around. nothing hit the roof. only a small amount of glass fell into the car. it had blown outward leaving a hole in the middle with the edges sticking up. drove directly to dealership about 15 minutes away where the car was purchased new 6 months earlier. they said they had never heard of anything like that occurring and it was a insurance claim and not hondas responsibility since we couldn't prove it wasn't a rock. nothing hit the car and the glass blew out which scratched the paint on the trunk lid. *tr

Our 2016 honda civic touring car emergency braking system from time to time would not work properly when operating under normal circumstances. took the car into the dealership in scottsdale, arizona called right honda. they took the car twice to help fix the problem with the auto braking system. nevertheless, right honda drove the car around 81 miles an hour. we have a gps tracking device on the car that alerts us when someone is driving unprofessional. the right honda was shown and asked why they drove our car so fast at an unprofessional speed on a public street in arizona. the service manager just told me it was for testing purposes, to get the car to react. we told them that it was very unprofessional to drive our car at such high speeds and they added that if we do not like it we can take our car somewhere else in the future. we also let honda america know about the problem and they just told us that they are not responsible for right honda?s actions for their unprofessional actions. the good note is that we think right honda might have finally fixed the emergency braking system problems we were having, when our 2016 honda civic touring car would stop by itself from time to time without an object in front of our car. but do not like how honda america and right honda dealership handled the situation. feel they need a lot of help in the customer service category. including, no dealership should drive anyone?s car criminally ever. *tr

I filed just moments ago but entered the wrong photos. these are more clear. the lights were on the entire time. they just don't show.

Following my wife after a recall on her car, it began to rain lightly. knowing we were entering a 75mph turnpike, i phoned her to advise her to turn on her lights. she did. at the stop light before getting on the turnpike, all i could see were 2 tiny led bulb types on both sides. as she began to reach speed, she got 10-15 car lengths ahead of me. we knew the factory spoiler causes a vortex behind her car as we wipe off black powder that builds on the back of her car each day when she comes home from work. i've never driven behind her let alone in the rain. with the vortex creating a boiling spray, and the tiny led bulbs, i could not see her at all. just a spray. no lights. at our exit close to home, as she took off, i could not see her tail lights even 5 car lengths back. it was day time i forgot to mention but cloudy and as stated, light rain. i could see her brake as the brake lights use a common bulb. again, with the lights in the on position, the only time i saw her tail light was in the garage. the vehicle has two issues. the spoilers create a spray of water reducing visibility of the backbof her car in the rain or fog to zero. honda even shows photos with their lights on. tiny angled led's pointing up and in. and not nearly bright enough to be seen in rain. heavy rain or dense fog, could be catastrophic. my wife drives i-40 & i-44 to and from work daily. 13 miles. she's had the car just a few months. i am concerned each morning. she currently leaves when it's dark. i'm worried about the spring rains and dawns early light wheather she will be seen. as stated earlier, the spoilers cause the turbulence or vortex behind the car. the lights are too small and lumens not strong enough to be seen. photos below will show on city streets and in our driveway. the photos i took from my phone the last few blocks home and into the garage. this is bad! she loves this car

I was driving the freeway at 70mph when suddenly all the indicators went berserk with 6 different problems appearing all at the same time. i went from 70 to 40mph without doing anything. i went to the shoulder to stop and these problems appeared: power steering system (eps), vehicle stability assist (vsa), hill start assist, emissions system, brake system and brake hold system. it scared the hell out of me coz the cars behind me started honking at because of the sudden reduced speed. it could've cost me my life! it was only at 1195miles when that happened and did nothing that may have caused the defects. i am on a three year lease and it has only been less than 2months since i had the car. i don't want that car anymore so if you cant give me another one (without additional costs), then i would want a full refund and cancel my lease. *tr

While driving down a smooth, straight road at about 50mph, i heard a loud sound, similar to a gunshot. when i looked up, the glass sunroof was shattered and had a roughly 7" x 12" hole. only one or two small pieces of glass fell into the car. the rest blew up and out of the car. the fabric sunroof door was open (pushed back into the car so that the sun was coming in through the sunroof), and the glass sunroof was closed (closed so that no wind was coming into the car). there were no cars ahead of or behind me that may have kicked up a rock. there were also no trees or anything else above me from which something may have fallen. i did not find any evidence of anything that has fallen into the car after coming through the glass, and the glass was bulged up and away from the car rather than down and into it. it was about 75 degrees and sunny.

The steering wheel sticks when over 40mph. the car pulls to one side and happens over 40mph. the car will not drive straight and the steering wheel sticks

The air conditioning no longer works on the drivers side. the passenger side blow cool air, but the driver side only blows hot air like the a/c isn’t on. this causes the windshield to steam while driving due to the temperature variance, along with creating an extremely uncomfortable driving experience that is hazardous in hot weather.

At highway speeds the steering wheel sticks so when you are trying to make small adjustments to keep the car centered within your lane you end up over correcting. when driving long distances it seems to get progressively worse. the dealership has told me that i meed to spend $3800 for a new steering rack but considering the number of complaints for other owners with the same issue, this should be a recall and honda should pay for this mistake.

Frequent ac problems. ac blows warm, honda has replaced the compressor twice under warranty within 1 year, both times issues have only been solved temporary and eventually ac the will blow warm air again. now the ac is blowing warm air again. the ac system takes around 15-20mins to start blowing cold air, specially during summer hot days, which is not normal for any car ac system. this time the honda dealer said the evaporator is leaking and car is not out of warranty. dealer said they would have to order the evaporator since it is back ordered. from what other owners are reporting online, these cars appear to have defective ac parts including condensers, compressors and evaporators in honda civics ranging from 2016-2019.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light and attempting to drive through the light, the vehicle started to vibrate abnormally. the contact coasted into a parking lot, looked under the hood and became aware of fluid leak. the contact reached out to hendrick honda bradenton (5515 14th st w, bradenton, fl 34207) and informed the dealer of the failure. the contact was informed that a tow truck was sent to tow the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission reservoir top detached under pressure. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 197,001.

While doing normal city driving in early morning, i drove over metal plates on the street which had occasionally in the past caused my automatic braking system (cmbs) to warn me to brake as if it sensed a hazard, but never applied the brakes for me. today when going over these plates, the cmbs applied full brakes to the car without my touching the brake pedal myself, bringing my car to an abrupt stop. the car behind me understandably rear-ended me. luckily just very minor damage since the car behind me mostly stopped, but this is obviously a very serious problem. will take to dealership in a couple days for inspection. i was under the impression this system could not be disabled, but after looking online i found it could be, so i disabled it today. will likely not use it in the future as i see the harm from it to greatly outweigh the potential benefits. here are the weather conditions at the time of the incident: it was about 6:00 am, before sunrise. there was slight sleet/snow, but it was very minimal. road conditions were normal aside from the metal plates from construction on the street.

The steering is sticky. when i try to make minor adjustments to direction, it sticks. when it finally let’s go, the car overcorrects causing dangerous conditions.

My 2016 honda civic exl a/c system no longer working. for the year of the vehicle i would think the a/c system would not have any problems yet. i got a notice in the mail that there was a recall on the condenser system due to leaks, so i took it in thinking this was going to be the issue. i find out i'm out $100 for the inspection even though it wasn't the condenser and that the issue is instead the compressor that is leaking! these parts are so closely related that honda should be doing a complete recall on the whole ac system! i looked online for others to see if they were experiencing similar problems and of course they are! what a surprise, it seems as if honda is also aware of the problem but are doing nothing to resolve or fix their faulty ac systems. there compressors are on back order 3-4 weeks out. i believe honda should recall their complete honda civic's 16-18 for faulty ac systems!

Went to start my car after 8 hours of work and the battery is dead. car is only 4 years old and has chalky corrosion. i don't live near a beach for it to have this much corrosion nor do i know if that's why the battery is actually dying. car has done this to me 4 times since purchasing it brand new.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the instrument cluster went blank and became inoperable. the speedometer was spinning. additionally, the air conditioner was blowing hot air. the vehicle was taken to carbone honda of yorkville (5009 commercial dr, yorkville, ny 13495, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 36,000.

During a recent road trip we were driving on the freeway for extended periods. during this time, there were times when the steering became very difficult. this car has lane keep assist and other safety mechanisms, but those were turned off. however, it is as if it was trying to steer for me, but in the wrong direction. for example during a turn, it would become difficult to straighten the wheel - it wouldn't click, but it would offer strong resistance. i don't know if the power steering assist is just stopping working in one direction? in general it becomes overly difficult to steer as if it is "fighting" against the driver. the steering becomes "sticky" particularly on turns. i've researched this in different car forums and it is a common complaint. it is generally at highway speeds, it is intermittent, and it is usually after driving the car for a while. because it is making the car difficult to stay in the proper lane this could cause an accident. the car only has 44k miles and has been well maintained. during a recent inspection for this problem at the dealer they found nothing obvious but we could not recreate the problem. some people have reported replacing the power steering rack has resolved the problem. this should be investigated as it is a dangerous condition when it occurs.

The air conditioning stopped working on our 2016 honda civic in early summer of 2020. we were told by the dealer that it was the compressor and would cost in excess of $2000.00 to fix. we opted out of the repair at that time. i have since discovered that honda has now extended the warranty for 10 years.

Transmission fill plug came out and leaked fluid all over my transmission. the fluid was changed at my local honda dealership about 2 years ago. only noticed while i was changing my oil on 9/6/2020. i have no idea to when the plug came out and started leaking. i looked it up in online forums and it seems to be a common problem. i'm afraid it will get dirt or other materials in my transmission and mess it up. luckily i was able to get to it by taking the air-intake off and putting the plug back in place. will be reporting this to my dealership as well.

Stearing wheel is sticking after it is held in one position. the sticking can be noticed at all speeds even when stopped. when thestearing sticks it causes the driver to over compensate when trying to make small adjustments at highway speeds.

Honda has known a/c issues with the corrosive 1234yf refrigerant that impacts the entire cooling system. service bulletin covers the condenser however does not cover the compressor, clutch or coil that is a costly fix. honda has ignored the problem and should recall however they went the easy way out and put out a service bulletin.

2016 honda civic; a/c just stopped working in aug of 2019 (car 3 yrs old) with less than 25k miles. paid $240 to get repaired. now 6 months later a/c has quit working again. honda knows there is a problem with the compressor. why is this not a recall and why is honda not fixing a car that is 4 years old?

Ac stop cooling about one year after purchase , check for leaks ( no leaks found).

Primary display failed, removing ability to see backup camera and right turn or right side blindspot camera. secondary impact to climate control and other vehicle functions but safety issue with an inability to see the backup camera on the display is primary concern. vehicle was stationary when the problem was noticed, but it affects safe operation when backing or making right turns or lane changes to the right.

At approx 36k miles, the vehicle began exhibiting a behavior where, at highway speeds, the steering sticks while driving straight. to make a minor steering adjustment, the amount of force required to initiate a steering change would cause steering to become unstuck and then over steer. minor steering adjustments are not possible and the vehicle is difficult to control and maintain within the driving lane. this issue initially would occur randomly but has progressed and is occurring more often.

2016 civic with 23500 miles on the odometer. the a/c compressor has failed and blew smoke into the cabin of the car. there is an extended replacement warranty for the condenser due to known defects in the part, but the compressor is not covered though it too is failing at an abnormal rate for many owners. honda dealer is charging me $1800 for the repair and not replacing the condenser. many owners are reporting recurring failures of the condenser, compressor, and/or evaporator units. the a/c system in these vehicles has a design defect and should be recalled.

Over 40 mph and especially on highway, the steering wheel is very jerky. a slight adjustment causes the steering wheel to jerk in the hands right or left depending on which way it is being turned. it feels like the steering wheel is stuck and breaking loose.

Ac slowly stopped putting out so much cold air. and suddenly one day jsut stopped blowing cold air all together. nothing is coming out but alittle air.

The air conditioning compressor is a known issue with the 2016 honda. they are known to leak and cause the owner $2,500+ in the first 5 years, replacing the compressor.

First, the new "no fuel cap" fuel pump sucks.. it always get stucked when i'm pumping gas at any gas station. oil will spill out. btw (this is a known problem) second, ac parts! yes, i know that honda had a lawsuit for their ac and did a recall on their ac condenser. there are so many other parts that have design errors but honda refused to acknowldegged their mistakes. for example, ac evaportator? ac compressor? please help all the honda civic buyers! this is totally unacceptable!

Upon starting vehicle, multiple warning lights appeared on dashboard. lights indicated brake system issue, power steering issue, hill start assist issue, abs system issue. power steering does not work. car is not safe to drive.

When i steer on the highway going over 40 mph the cars steering wheel would feel stuck and when i applied more pressure it jerks the whole car.

The car’s air compressor went out. i have to pay $1400 to fix. i have seen the part be on back order for many people having the same problem. my car is a 2016 honda civic, (only 4 years old). i believe this should be a recalled part since the condenser is already recalled and many people are having the same problem.

There's a "catch" in the steering. while driving, if slight turn, can feel a catch and slight "tick" not very loud.

Air conditioning condenser was replaced under recall jan. 2019. ac stopped working by june, 2020. condenser needed to be replaced again, but was on back-order. over 5 weeks later, condenser was replaced in august 2020, but dealer reported compressor was leaking and needed to be replaced, for about $1,200. honda refuses to cover more than 30% of that cost, according to both a regional representative and a honda of america representative. the compressor is on back-order, indicating that a high number of compressors are failing. all the above work and diagnosis were performed by honda dealer the automaster, shelburne, vt. the car has under 33,000 miles and is less than 4 years old. i'm the original owner. there appears to be a class action for this issue, initiated in california, case 2:19-cv-10537, filed dec. 2019, us district court for central district of california. having no ac is a safety issue in at least two ways: it's dangerous to drive in a hot car, and a fogged windshield obstructing driver's vision can't be cleared without ac. honda should cover the full cost of correcting these safety issues.

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.

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.

Air conditioning compressor failure was diagnosed by honda dealer. took car to my auto shop and the auto shop cannot order part from the honda. he also mentioned there are quite few failure of ac compressor on this model. is there a problem with compressor and if honda have a recall?

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!

Like so many others, my 2016 civic has the sticky steering problem. at highway speeds the steering wheel "sticks" and does not allow small steering adjustments. trying to move the car a little left or right, to change lanes for example, is dangerous -- applying enough pressure to get the wheel to move makes the car jerk. i see stories in forums about this getting covered under warranty. seems unfair i have to pay $3k to fix a safety issue because my car has 40,000 miles on it.

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.

Air conditioning blowing warm air - not cooling when it is turned on

The ac does not work. has not worked since i bought it in 2016.

This vehicle has repeatedly been dying and having all of the error codes pop up while the car is running. we have had the car diagnosed and have been told there is nothing wrong by two different dealerships. however even when we are driving the car the car starts freaking out and losing power. we have verified that nothing is draining the battery and have had the battery tested twice. the battery must not be the problem but the electrical system is messing up so much that we are scared to drive it. i’m hoping by visiting the dealerships so many times that i will be able to file a lemon law vehicle and return the vehicle that was only purchased a few months ago.

When the a/c is turned on, the passenger side blows cool air, and the driver side blows room temperature/warm air. dealer stated this is because of a leak from the compressor due to the front seal failing. honda extended the warranty for the a/c condenser for a similar issue, but the compressor is not covered under it and costs $1,800 to repair.

The air condition is not properly working. even if you put on high it takes 30-35 minutes to cool the car....and it is not that cold.

While driving at high way speeds, the car's steering feels stiff when adjusting to keep the car straight. it doesn't pull as if the alignment is off. the steering feels stuck when i am trying to keep the car straight and i have to over compensate which makes the car jerk. i have checked on civic forums and it seems to be a common problem my model civic. many others have identified the problem as the power steering rack.. honda has issued a recall for 2017 and above make civics but my 2016 is not covered.

When driving highway speeds, the steering becomes sticky and feels as if there are notches or clicks that the steering gets to stuck in. when moving the wheel left or right to "unstick" the steering, the car feels like it's over correcting. the steering is not smooth and it is hard to keep the car moving in a steady straight line. this happens more noticeably in warmer weather, later in the day and on the highway at speeds over 5 mph. the transmission is manual and happens in any gear over 45-50 mph.

Small rock hit lower driver side of windshield and made a very small nick about 6 months ago. i drove home from work friday and upon getting my car ready sunday evening for work the next day we noticed a crack. i can only assume this initiated where that rock hit and after googling the issue i realize i’m not alone in this. the windshield of the honda 2016 and newer is garbage. it is weak and unsafe. that small crack from sunday has now reached halfway across the windshield and i cannot drive my car until it is fixed on wednesday afternoon for fear of it caving in. why hasn’t honda addressed this issue? it’s been four years of numerous complaints! the crack is growing at an incredibly and terrifying rate that it is completely unsafe. the first picture was at 7am, the second at 5pm, and the third at 9:30pm

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph and attempting to turn, the steering wheel ceased, causing the vehicle to over steer. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the holler honda dealer located at 2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807, where a diagnostic test was performed. the contact would be contacted with the result of the test. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for a diagnostic test. the contact was informed that the failure was a known issue and referenced nhtsa campaign number: 18v663000 (steering). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 32,239.

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.

I noticed that the steering wheel would start being sticky or knotchy. the electronic steering worked fine but for subtle movements you feel resistance. the resistance makes it difficult to change lanes, as it feels like a force is acting in opposite direction and it takes more strength then necessary to make subtle movements. the issue happens while vehicle is in motion. does not feel safe in my opinion i have read forums where dealers have covered this issue under warranty, so it should be a known issue .

The air conditioner stopped working on my 2016 honda civic ex. i bought the car used in december 2018. the ac worked fine in 2019, but has not worked at all in 2020. it blows hot air on the left side and barely cooler air on the right.

Since purchasing my 2016 civic new, i have had issues with the front lower under-end of the car being too low. it constantly scrapes when i go over speed bumps or small curbs. on 7/27/20, i was parking at a restaurant and slight drove up on a small curb, i stopped and backed up and parked. about 15 seconds later as i was about to exit my car, suddently the airbag deployed hitting me in the face, shoulder and chest. i was dazed, fortunately, two co-workers who were following me to the restaurant, saw that i needed help and opened the door to help me get out. i have had a headache over the last couple of days - my doctor told me it is probably a slight concussion. i would like to know if honda has had any similar issues with this car and i would like to have my repairs paid. it is not fair for me to have the repairs done under my insurance because i have a $1,000 deductible and they are likely to raise my premiums. this was not my fault. let me know

After about 30-40min of driving on the highway, usually higher speeds, the steering wheel gets sticky and stiff at times. feel really dangerous when changing lanes and or making slight corrections in movement. currently my vehicle has 16k miles on it.

Paint is chipping near rear window on drivers side. after some quick research this appears to be a common problem. bought it certified only 3 months ago.

The air conditioner stops blowing cold air at idle and occasionally even when driving. this may pose a safety issue in hotter climates if there are children, elderly people, special needs persons, or pets in the vehicle when parked. reading through the internet, there are hundreds if not thousands of owners with this same issue due to a faulty ac condenser from the factory. honda has extended the warranty on the condenser alone but has not issued a full recall or warranty on the other parts/labor involved. this car has only 53k miles on it and this is the second time being serviced for this same problem.

The steering wheel sticks when initially making minor turns or adjustments while driving causing jerking movements which magnifies at higher speeds causing the vehicle to swerve. this can be felt at all speeds including while still.

I took my 2016 honda civic to the dealer after the air conditioning stopped working in june of 2020 to have it inspected for a leaking a/c condenser, which was covered under an extended warranty per a letter i received in november of 2019. the dealer inspected the vehicle and found the condenser is leaking and would be covered, but also stated the compressor is leaking and the repair would cost $1583.00. when i asked if a leaking condenser could cause damage to the compressor they said they weren't sure. i then asked if they were seeing a number of condenser and compressor failures at the same time and they said yes. there have been a number of customers with simultaneous leaks in their condensers and compressors. i believe these need to be investigated and honda should extend the warranty on both

Steering starts to stick above speeds of 45 mph. when trying to correct from center within the lane, the steering wheel seems to stick and then jumps and over-corrects. i then have to compensate and shift the steering wheel to the opposite side and it sticks and jumps again. it makes the car harder to control/unstable and you feel like the car is bopping within the lane from the many adjustments required to center the car within the lane. i don’t have confidence in it’s safety any longer.

I bought my 2016 honda civic new and every year during the summer i experience issues with the a/c not working properly. this summer since it's no longer under warranty, i took it to my local mechanic to see if he could figure out wha the honda dealers never could while my car was under warranty. it's blowing hot air. he quickly uncovered i have a leak and that it's an issue with the condenser. he did a quick check and informed me that honda had a recall on this component and to take it back to the dealer. i just got off the phone with the dealer who explained that my car is not covered in said recall. even though it's a known problem with the model and year i own, honda is refusing to cover it. again, my a/c has been on ongoing issue since i purchased the car and i've always struggled to have honda fix it. they did change out the compressor last year which stopped my vents from smoking but sure as can be, as it does every year, it's blowing hot air again.

A/c blowing warm air on driver side and getting gradually cooler towards passenger side. replaced condenser 13 months ago and paid out of pocket as this was before extended warranty. took car to dealership this time and they charged $80 for diagnosis to say it needs a new hose which would cost $875. took it for second opinion, was told that hose was fine but needed new valve but they did not have the freon equipment. went to new place that had right equipment and they are saying it's the evaporator and going to be $1300. now i have no idea what is actually wrong all i know is the car is 3.5 years old and the ac should not have broken.

When driving on the highway at high speed (60 - 70 mph) my steering began to "stick". it was difficult to make the normal small steering adjustments to the right or left that are needed on the highway to go straight and stay in your lane. the sticking required me to use more force, which makes it more difficult to stay in the lane and more likely to accidentally hit someone. the problem has occurred on 4 occasions. it happens on hot days (85 - 90 f degrees) after about 30 minutes of highway driving. once it starts, it continues as long as the driving continues.

I bought the car used with only 20,000 miles after driving the car on the highway for at least 15 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go. i have been reading many complaints of this being a recall on the car in the 2017 / 2018 model year. why not in 2016?

A couple of times while im stopped at a red light my car stalls, i took it to a honda dealer but they didnt find anything wrong with it. i'm worried that i get in to a car accident if my car suddenly stops while im driving.

Ac does not blow cold air

The steering feels "sticky". most notable at highway speeds but i suspect it is occurring otherwise, just not as noticeable when you have to turn the wheel completely vs just staying in lane. when this occurs, it is a constant wrestling match to keep the car going in the direction you'd like. what would typically be a gradual and easy constant course correction is transformed into a struggle to get the steering wheel out of the stuck (might be the wrong word, but it's easy movement is greatly hindered) position. this results in an over-correction because once you overcome the "stuck" the wheel is jerked further than intended. the steering wheel sticking causes the car to careen all over the lane and road.

The stability braking system suddenly fail. parking brake does not work. the brake warning lights on the dash are on. the dealer claimed they had already fixed the recall but obviously not because the problem is still there.

In 2018, i purchased a used 2016 honda civic and several months later when the hot weather set in, we discovered the ac is not working. took into honda dealer and they told us the ac compressor was leaking and it would cost $2000. i had it fixed when i was able to save enough money. now a year after i fixed it, my ac compressor and my ac condensor are both leaking. i purchased a honda for reliability but its been a horrible and expensive experience. honda will only replace the condensor due to recall but i can't fix it without fixing the compressor as well. i called american honda but they won't do anything about it.

After driving the car on the highway for at least 15 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go this seems to be more noticeable when temperatures are higher around 80+ degrees f.

When driving on a warm day on the highway, the steering becomes very notchy when going straight. when driving, there is constant minor adjustments needed to be made to go straight, however, each time i try to make these adjustments, the steering wheel is stuck so i am slightly drifting left or right. to realign myself, i have to jar the steering wheel left or right to get it out of this stuck position which causes me to go too far and towards other lanes. essentially i am driving zig zag the entire time trying to stay in a lane. this link has the same exact complaints from many other customers: https://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2016/steering/steering.shtml. *tr

About 3 weeks ago my a/c stopped working. it only blows out lukewarm or hot air on both the driver and passenger side. i have one much research being as the car is barely 4 years old and this should not be happening. it seems that honda has faulty condenser and/or compressor. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss power steering assist and became difficult to steer in either direction. the vehicle was taken to braman honda of palm beach located at 6200 lake worth rd, green acres, fl 33463, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the steering rack was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 30,217.

Air conditioning and cooling, other civics of this year and model were recalled, my vehicle has the same symptoms yet honda is not honoring recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle was in park with the ignition off and keys removed, when the vehicle rolled backwards down a hill. the contact stated that he believed the vehicle was in parked and the parking brake was engaged. the contact stated the vehicle ended up hitting and running over a tree stump and guardrail. there were no injuries. no police report was filed. the contact had the vehicle towed to an auto body shop where the underneath of the vehicle was severely damaged causing the vehicle to be totaled. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 16v725000 (parking brake) as the cause of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 47,173.

2016 honda civic ex steering wheel sticky , stiff & jerky. my vehicle does not have lane keeping assist. the power steering works fine for large movements but for subtle movements, it would cause resistance and jerk when you add more force to turn. this issue does not matter with vehicle speed, stopped or moving produces the same result and only requires the engine to be running. this issue causes jerky lane position and potentially dangerous over correction at highway speeds. the resistance makes it difficult to change lanes, as it feels like a force is acting in opposite direction and it takes more to make subtle movements. please look at a video i found from a fellow civic owner. this is exactly the same problem i am trying to describe. find the video at https://youtu.be/w5x_cavhxmm. the individual who made the video was able to get warranted work done and the dealer replaced the entire steering rack. *tr

A/c unit and all components of ac has stopped working, previous owner replaced components at dealership, i had the components replaced at a different dealership! parts are faulty and don't last!

2016 honda civic. problem with air conditioning blowing hot air both when vehicle is in motion and stationary. i took to the car to the dealership and was told both condenser and compressor had leaks. condenser is covered under extended warranty but the compressor was not costing in excess of $1100 to repair. was informed by dealership they are receiving 3-4 vehicles per week with this issue. it is clearly a defect in the manufacture of the vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the windshield defroster was inoperable due to the air conditioner being inoperable. the contact stated that the windshield and windows fogged up while driving. the vehicle was taken to penske honda (4140 e 96th st, indianapolis, in 46240 317-399-9890, but was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Honda civic, model year 2016 has defective a/c system. in shop 3x since 2017 to repair a/c, on 3x the compressor and condenser needed to be replaced. system does not blow cold air. honda replaced the condenser at no charge, but charged $599.00 for new compressor. i believe honda is aware of their defective a/c system.

My 2016 honda civic ex-t a/c recently started blowing hot air. i took the car to the dealership and they want nearly $500 for the diagnostic. then they said the compressor needs to be replace and it’ll cost over 2 grand. my car nearly has 60k miles and there’s no way the compressor should have leakage. i took good care of my car. if i known honda i’d problems with a/c i would have never bought honda. this issue needs to be recall. it is not a pleasant ride to drive in the hot summer without a/c and my mother is old. this is not good. *tr

At highway speeds, and driving straight, the steering gets "stuck" and requires extra effort to turn causing abrupt movements. it is especially noticeable when making small adjustments. this issue starts after the car is warmed up and driven for about 20 minutes. *tr

Ac blowing hot on driver's side and some cool on passenger side. vehicle has 39,000 miles. *tr

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments. driving at highway speeds to make a minor adjustment to stay in my lane requires a bit of extra force to free up the "stuck" steering wheel before i make the minor adjustment, but to make the minor adjustment the extra force required to free up the stuck steering wheel sometimes causes a major adjustment like drifting into another lane. i've determined that this normally occurs after the car has been driven for 20-30 minutes. happens at highway speeds as well as just driving around town. purchased car nov 2019 this issue has been happening shortly after i got the car i realized it while traveling from texas to arkansas.had an alignment bought new tires thinking that was the problem. still did help. *tr

Ac compressor leaking. dealership admits ongoing issue. estimate repair at $2300. class action lawsuit in california already in motion for this issue. honda only offering partial assistance with this repair. admitted it’s deign/manufacturing flaw. honda needs to be compelled to recall 2016-2018 civics to fix this flaw. *tr

Tried to start car (in walmart parking lot) after shopping. wouldn't start. instead, all systems warning lights came on: power steering, parking brake, brake failure, tpms, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system, etc. all these warnings kept cycling through on the dashboard when i tried to start car. tow company came and jump started battery just to see if that would start car. it did! but warnings continued to cycle through all previously mentioned items while i drove car to mechanic. did not turn car off till i got there for fear it would not start again. *tr

I have a 2016 civic lx 2 door. recently i have noticed when driving on the highway my steering feels very strange. it feels almost notchy or sticky like there is some sort of bind or something. i'll be driving straight and go to adjust for a curve in the road and feel resistance at the steering wheel and have to use slight force to overcome it resulting in the car to overcorrect and jerk sideways. i've looked into it some and it seems others with the same vehicle are having the same problem ( https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/steering-is-stiff-and-notchy-feeling.14767/ ) ( https://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2016/steering/steering.shtml ). feels dangerous to me, especially if it gets any worse. *tr

A/c quit working at 30,000 miles one year out of warranty. dealer diagnosed compressor bearing failure - not covered under extended warranty for defective condensers. cost to repair: $2,000 + this is both dangerous due to inoperative defrost/defogging as well as risking passenger overheating in extreme weather - especially those of us who are seniors. *tr

As described by many other listed complaints, my car's steering sticks occasionally while operating at highway speeds. when it is stuck it requires extra effort to do minor adjustments to maintain a straight heading. the extra efforts causes the car to jerk left and right when making minor steering corrections. this issue starts after the car is warmed up and driven for about 10-20 minutes. this has been happening since i bought the car in 2016 and i've complained a few times during routine maintenance at the honda dealerships but always receive the response that they can't recreate the issue. by the amount of filed complaints and listed comments online it obviously is an issue. we love our honda civic but this problem and the amount of others with the same issue alone has convinced me to never buy a civic again. we just returned from a road trip of over 3100 miles and it nearly drove me nuts since it caused jerky recoveries during probably well more than 2500 miles of the trip. the date provided below is the first day of our road trip. again, this isn't a new issue with this car...it's been going on nearly non-stop with driving over 35-40 mph since 2016. *tr

Car has only 33k miles and needs a new compressor at a cost of $1700. there are numerous reports of compressor issues with the 2016 honda civic. they need to recall it. *tr

Started to notice slight stiffness with no veering in steering on short commutes to work going hwy speed. once i started to drive longer trips and higher speeds, i knew there was an issue with steering significantly! the steering is no longer have the gliding control like normal. now it seems more stiff like sticking while controlling the steering wheel. went from a glide steer to forcefully having to jerk steering back to control it (similar to a sticky button) but it’s the darn steering wheel. something like this to start happening out of the blue with no electrical issues and all maintenance kept up to date is a big issue! this really sucks and i have seen how much this type of issue cost. since this is a known “electrical issue” on a broad scale (fewer miles and higher miles honda) this should be a recall issue. not a consumer out of pocket expense!

A/c blows warm air on driver's side. a/c blows slightly cool air on passenger's side. a/c does not reach set cooling temperatures. vehicle was purchased from honda dealership on 4/25/20. a/c began going out on 6/7/20. vehicle has ~35,000 miles. *tr

Ac stopped blowing cold air. i bought this car in oct 2016 and haven’t even finished paying it and the ac is already having problems. *tr

The front driver side door is the only door that does not unlock or lock with keyless entry. the only way to unlock the vehicle is to manually pull out the key from the key fop and insert it into the door or open it up from the passenger side seat. there's nothing wrong with the current key fops because this was taken to the dealership for the same problem and was given 2 new key fops, but the problem still exists. this can be a huge issue when i'm trying to access the vehicle in case of an emergency and can't even get into the vehicle promptly. *tr

Air conditioner in 2016 civic failed in november of 2019. honda covered the condenser but charge full rack to replace a connecting hose, $450. now june of 2020 same issue where a/c is blowing hot air. honda dealer tells me that the condenser and compressor need to replaced. condenser is under extended warranty. compressor was replaced at a cost of $1600. these parts are all faulty need to be covered. car was purchased in 2018 as a cpo from honda dealer. car has under 63k miles. *tr

This car has the infamous 1.5 liter turbocharged earth dreams engine from honda. even after the product update applied to the car on jan 2019 while it was owned by the previous owner, it still has a high amount of oil dilution issue which will severely impact the car in the long run. parking this car in a garage after a drive makes the whole garage smell like gas. and a point to note is that it's summer here in ohio now. after a fresh oil change right after i bought it and driving a mere distance of 50 miles already had dumped so much of gas into the engine that the dipstick had high oil level. taking it to the dealership resulted no resolution as they insisted that it's normal. it's not normal to have that amount of gas in the engine so i strongly believe that honda should make a recall on this car.

Ac does not work they say it is the compressor. that it is a known problem with this year and the 2017. *tr

Ac was blowing out hot air. dealer charged $280 to recharge ac with dye. after a month, they inspected the ac and found the evaporator and condenser leaking. condenser is under the extended warranty but the evaporator is not, and they quoted me $1960 to replace it. it gets very hot in southern california and is a safety hazard when ac does not work properly. *tr

Air conditioner on driver's side not cooling/blowing warm air. honda dealer performed diagnosis and found system slightly low, and found ac compressor is leaking. cost to repair is $1900.00. our 2016 honda civic had 33k miles and is garage kept and well maintained. i searched the internet and found the compressor leaking is a common problem! this should not be happening on a car with 33k miles on it!!! i have been a honda owner for over 20 years and expect honda to issue a recall or extend the warranty on the compressor/cooling system for this known defect. this system has not lived up to the reasonable expectation of reliability of honda cars, and that an ac compressor should last more than just a few years with low mileage. this is well beyond what would be considered as normal wear and tear! i am disappointed and upset that honda so far has not done the right thing in addressing a known defect and doing right by their customers for a very expensive repair in the middle of pandemic when many have been unemployed or financially impacted. do the right thing honda!! cover this repair under an extended warranty!!! *tr

My 2016 honda has began to blown hot air through my air conditioning unit while i'm driving making it very difficult to breath.this begun on 4/2020 while driving on the highway. i took my car to norm reeves honda in the city of cerritos, ca and they said that the condensor is leaking as well as the evaporator. the condensors that honda has been using on there 2016 - 2018 honda civics have a history of failing and that is why honda is now extending there warrant of them for an extra two years however honda also know that the evaporators are defected also. i have spoke with american honda and they are aware of my problem and refuse to help. honda also knows that you can't replace the condensor without servicing the evaporator and that is the way that they avoid having to repair the defected part on your vehicle. to replace the leaking evaporator, honda said they would charge me $1,609 and even though this defective part was causing me breathing trouble, that the evaporator is not covered in the new extended warranty and that i would have to come up with the money. if honda had made me aware of this defect at the time of purchase, i would have never purchased this car. i believe this is a safety issue due to the fact that that the car is pumping hot air into the vehicle even while turned off causing breathing trouble as well a vision trouble for any driver in the car. please help in any way that you can. thank you cell [xxx] cell [xxx] email : [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2016 ac stopped working in september 2019. we purchased the vehicle in march 2019 with only 23k miles on it. we received a letter from honda in november 2019 about a factory defect concerning the ac. we took it in and was charged over $400 for a leak test. no leak was found, they put in some dye and now today on may 12th, 2020 the ac is blowing warm air again. now i'm doing research on the issue and have found many, many complaints of the same issue. i hope honda steps up when take it in tomorrow. *tr

Steering binds forcing driver to exert extra force causing oversteer. a clunking noise can be heard coming from the steering rack when this happens. this was originally detected during a drive between houston and austin may 2019 and was noticeable only when driving longer distances and higher speeds, in particular on the highway. the vehicle was taken to a honda dealer in june 2019 who identified that the steering rack needs to be replaced. because vehicle was out of warranty (40 months, 46k miles), i was told that i needed to pay for the repair which they discounted from $3,800 to $900. i opted not to make the repair because i believe honda would be issuing a recall and since then the steering has gotten worse, occurring almost every time i drive the car at any speed when outside temperatures are above 80f. honda is aware of the issues as it has changed the part number for the electric power steering rack one or two times since the vehicle originally came out, but has yet to issue a recall. latest part number is 53650-tbc-a22. has not resulted in an accident yet, but i will be repairing as it is happening all the time now and i believe it is a matter of time before an accident occurs. *tr

Steering stiffens up veers, feels locked, and requires excessive force to correct causing a sway into an adjacent lane. this usually happens after vehicle is driven 20-30 mins and speeds above 40mph. internet research shown this is a common eps failure on this vehicle. the eps electronic power steering rack is a severe safety concern, and extremely expensive to replace, and should not fail so early in its life. request nhtsa require honda to recall or extend the warranty. *tr

After 30-60 minutes on a drive in 70+ degree weather the steering starts "sticking". it is not smooth and results in overcorrecting. issue was brought to dealer attention last summer while under warranty and could not be found because the car was not driven long enough. looking at the complaints here common issue. now not under warranty and warmer temps brought back the issue. needs eps recalled and replaced.*dt *tr

Air compressor needed to be replaced at 26,000 miles and cost $1200 at the dealer. the a/c was blowing hot air. i live in florida so this is unacceptable and not safe for children or elderly. i have had the car since day one and religiously maintain and take care of the vehicle. the man at the dealer said the condenser is under extended warranty only to find out that it was the compressor. a quick online search shows that 2016 honda civics have massive numbers of both condenser and compressor failures, leaking freon into the atmosphere. this needs to be a recall on the part of honda. *tr

Air conditioner started blowing hot at 35956 miles in motion

After driving for around 30 minutes the steering starts "sticking". it is not smooth and results in overcorrecting because you have to sort of unstick it to keep the car in a straight line on the road. never experienced this before in any car but can see from reports on the internet that it's a definite problem with honda civic. i bought this car used in jan 2020 and have only drive a little over 2000 miles since that time. the car has about 32,000 miles on it. *tr

Ac compressor seal “broke” after 40,000 miles. honda has had this problem on these cars but haven’t issued a recall! they want $2000 to fix their mistake. with no ac my wife was borderline getting heat exhaustion. stationary. *tr

The a/c compressor failed, shooting out ice particles into my face. honda acknowledges the condenser was faulty from the factory and replaced that component, but refuses to acknowledge that the faulty condenser probably shortened/cause issues with the life of the compressor causing it to fail. is cost prohibitive to repair and lack of air conditioning causes health and visibility issues with the front windshield in the winter.

After i drive for about 30 minutes the steering wheel feels like it has a catch in it. it mainly happens on the highway. when making minor movements trying to keep it in the lane it feels like it catches and i have to push through it, the car starts weaving a takes a few second to gain control of it. this problem became very obvious when i was driving from alabama to illinois. it happened the entire way there and back. i almost lost control a few times. incredibly scary, especially when other cars are near.

My eps system it doesn’t register that my car is fine but it keeps making my battery die and i have to keep getting it jump i seen there was a recall for us nov, 10, 2016 i haven’t even had my car a year yet and this problem has been going on. since i have gotten the car

Our civic ran out of freon literally at 36,100 miles on our way to las vegas for a wedding where it was 110 degrees all weekend.ac stopped working!! took to dealer they did a diye test they told us couldn’t find any leaks i had to pay for the freon to be filled back up again they gave me a form from american honda to request my refund they denied it which i couldn’t believe so all the freon went into the atmosphere that’s an environmental hazard- 9 months later now today april 2020 the car ac went hot again took it to the dealer they said there was no freon now they said it leaked out again it even though they check for the leaks and they want to $3000 to fix it this needs to be recalled

Electric parking brake on my 2016 honda civic sedan will not engage. i bought the car brand new from honda. there was a recall for this problem for over 350,000 models already but my car was not included. my electric parking brake stopped working in late 2017. i called honda civic already but they refused to fix it. i had one incident when i was in motion in the freeway; my car went from 65 mph to about 35-40 and skid and zig zagged; the car behind me almost hit me but was able to evade hitting me. after that i stopped using the brake altogether. unable to use electric parking brake anymore as i am afraid the car will roll down when parked on hills. *tr

The steering wheel on my 2016 civic sedan ex-t becomes jerky or sticky after driving roughly 30 minutes on a hot day. it makes highway driving very dangerous. when making small adjustments from on center, the steering wheel is hitting resistance side to side. you are forced to overpower it locking up causing unintentional swerving. why doesn't the safety recall for 2017-2018 steering gearbox replacement also apply to 2016 model years? i have had this issue since at least 60k miles, now at over 100k. i have had to switch to working overnights during the summer to avoid this very issue. i have found that taking the under tray off extended my driving time slightly before the issue reappears. however, this creates a parachute under my car now the under tray is removed. now summer is back, i am here now to plead with someone to please force honda to remedy this obvious flaw. there are many accounts exactly like this. its a problem on every car, although not everyone drives their car enough to experience it. i have taken my car to the honda service after warranty with no answer then. i will be forced to sell my car or try and remove the steering rack myself and spend money i shouldn't need to. honda created a faulty eps on all 10th generation civics 2016-2018.

The electric brake system problem.searching for recalls and other issue. the brake system it is a defect from the honda malfunction issue that had affect many 2016 and 2017 vehicle.this issue can easily provoke a crash

I have had the vehicle for 4 years and kept up on maintenance; the last maintenance was performed in march 2020. i was driving the vehicle on a city street (2-way street) and started hearing a clicking noise and smelled smoke. the front passenger then noticed flames outside of his window. i tried to stop the vehicle but the breaks wouldn't work. i was able to coast the vehicle to a nearby street opening and we were luckily able to escape. the vehicle went up in flames and exploded at least once before the fire department arrived. the vehicle is a total loss. according to the fire report, the cause of the fire is, "failure of equipment or heat source"; the listed area of fire origin is, "engine area, running". *tr

I recently purchased my 2016 honda civic ex sedan on february 5th, 2020. the ac almost immediately doesn't work and i think nothing of it because i have windows and then when i finally have time to take it to a shop to get checked out, they recharge the ac freon and when it runs it sounds like it's leaking a lot and i didn't think think of it until the ac no longer works after a day, i take it back and they say it all leaked out and to replace the compressor which is leaking it, they want to charge me $1800 and i don't have that kind of money so i've been going along with ac and its getting really hot in cali summer. i just think that's a huge environmental and safety issue and honda america should definitely pay for it because i'm not the only one complaining, forums all over the states have people complaining about it and some people have even replaced their compressor 2 or 3 times(and payed for it themselves). this is an issue among all of the 10th gen civic sedans and coupes. you may share all of my info with the manufacturer or all investigative parties for any reason they need if needed.

I brought my 2016 honda civic to darling' s honda in bangor, maine for steering problems. the steering sticks in one position and requires a little force to turn the steering wheel to correct the direction. the sticking causes the vehicle to jerk, and sticks again in the other position. it does not always do this, the vehicle must be driven for a while sometimes. i advised the service advisor (sa), bradley gonya, that numerous other people (several honda forums) have had the same issue, and they all stated that it was the electronic steering causing the problem. the sa, said they hooked it up to the computer to find a code, to which there was no faulty code. the sa, said they road tested the vehicle but could not duplicate the concern. *note: mileage in 38290, mileage out 38291 as stated on receipt ( ½ mile out test drive and ½ mile back. sa stated that the ball joints and struts checked ok. removed outer tie rod ends from knuckles and rechecked steering, no problems found. the vehicle was there for one week, the sa stated that they would check it daily to try to duplicate the problem. i advised the sa that the vehicle needed to be driven to duplicate, and that i did not want to pay the outrageous $120 per hour rate for them to just look and ride, and i restated that the problem was the electronic steering system. the sa stated that unless the computer states that there is a problem, they can’t change the part.

Purchased car in july 2016, single owner, took the car into the dealership, capital honda in olympia, wa on 4/10/2020 due to no cool air form ac system, informed that the compressor has oil and refrigerant leaking from compressor, the compressor is required to be replaced to fix. i have never had any service or maintenance performed on the ac system prior to visit on 4/10/2020. i elected to not have the estimated $1800 repair made at this time. i will scan and send in the repair estimate if required.

Steering becomes jerky and tends to stick after driving around for more than 20 minutes. rather than a smooth turn of the steering wheel it requires a bit extra force to free up the steer wheel to make even minor adjustments. driving at highway speeds to make a minor adjustment to stay in my lane requires a bit of extra force to free up the "stuck" steering wheel before i make the minor adjustment, but to make the minor adjustment the extra force required to free up the stuck steering wheel sometimes causes a major adjustment like drifting into another lane. i've determined that this normally occurs after the car has been driven for 20-30 minutes and at higher ambient temperatures outside. happens at highway speeds as well as just driving around town. we bought the vehicle used in january of 2020, this issue has been happening for the past two weeks now.

1) the ac only have cool air but it is not cold. it is not even as cold as the outside air. the technician said that the compressor and condenser is working fine, so it has to be the systems leaking air. 2) the front passenger window is occasionally cannot roll down by both buttons from driver or passenger side. it has to take a while and aggressively pushed down the button from passenger side multiple tike to be able to roll the window down. 3) touch screen intermitten automatically flickering like someone pressing on it.

The a/c compressor is broken due to the faulty condensors that have now been recalled. honda is not doing anything to address this and is knowingly allowing freon to be leaked out into the atmosphere on all these faulty civics.

My car ac is blowing hot air since january 2019. my car is making sound whenever i turn on. february 28, 2020, my car was suddenly stopped when i was driving on the freeway.

My stationary car was parked on a flat surface in the garage. i went inside when my neighbor informed me that the car had backed out of my garage and rolled down the hill into my neighbors driveway, hitting their car. no one was in the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated the steering failed. the contact stated that extra effort was needed when turning the steering wheel in either direction. the contact stated that no warning light was illuminated when the failure occurred. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage 53,651.

While driving the steering gets stiff and when you turn steering wheel it darts unexpectedly to the right or left . this car is a 2016 with only 31000 miles on it. i hope it doesn’t get any worse because it’s not safe. n

I was driving down interstate 30 at 70 mph when i heard a large explosion. i pulled off of the interstate to check my tires and finally realized the sunroof exploded. it was not raining, there was not a dump truck in front of me, i was not on my phone or distracted, i was paying close attention to the road and the sunroof exploded out of the blue. there was no point of impact below the glass insert, but the entire sunroof was shattered into a million pieces.

I was driving my wife to her doctors appointment in melbourne florida. after 20 minutes at highway speeds 55-65 mph i noticed the steering wheel seamed to be sticking in the neutral position.if i had to correct left or right i would have to use force and it would snap and jump about an inch causing me to weave into the next lane. i pull off at the next intersection to check my tires and could not find a problem. i noticed that after i slowed down to less than 40 mph the steering worked fine, i got back on the interstate got up to speed and it started sticking again.got off the interstate and took back roads the rest of the way there and home. took it out the next day and it would not do it but now afraid to take long trips for fear of having an accident. checked the internet and found hundreds of complaints about this and no recall.why doe's someone have to die to get things fixed.

A/c not working. just hit 3 years and 50,000 miles and now no more cold a/c. i took car in to local dealer and they just tried to say my system needed recharging and had no leaks. i told them i wanted my car back because i know they, knew if this issue and was just avoiding trying to fix the problem, at my expense. a whole $390 quote to recharge. took my car to locale reparie shop and guy looked at my for 5 minutes and told my compressor was bad, and he's had 5 other people come in with same issue. this issue needs to be addressed.

I bought my car in april 2016 and in september 2016 i complained about the ac blowing hot air. honda told me they found nothing. i received a letter from honda november 2019, that there were issues with the condenser. assuming this was the problem i took it so they can take a look at it. because it was a leaky compressor and not the condenser, i had to pay $150 for diagnostics. from other complaints i have read here, there is obviously a problem with a leaking compressor. how convenient for honda!! they are now profitting from these diagnostics test and ignoring that their ac has other problems. and to top it off they are charging $1600 to fix a faulty ac.

I purchased this year after my 3 year lease was up. within months, the ac started blowing hot air. i found out (only by looking online) that there was a reported issue with the ac condensor. i called honda of america, they confirmed that if it was found to have an issue not due to damage, they would pay for the assessment ($150) and the replacement. i took it in, the honda dealer said yes, the condensor needed to be replaced, and would be under warranty, but also the compressor and front seal, for a total of near $2000. i called honda of america back, they called the dealer to confirm and simply informed me that yes, i'd have to pay. this extended warranty seems less like a way of acknowledging an issue with the vehicle, and more as a ploy to get recent buyers off lease to pay thousands of dollars to honda dealers. i've seen multitudes of people report online with this same issue, there should definitely be a recall or at least the extended warranty should cover the entire ac system.

My 2016 honda civic touring while driving approx. 60 mph on the interstate in about 60 degree weather while raining. my sunroof exploded the center portion of it which in turn damaged my drunk and if someone was behind me could have had other catastrophic events. nothing hit my car i heard the explosion sounded like a gunshot then seen the big chunk of glass hit my trunk and heard it as well.

System throws codes non stop recently electronic brake system light emission light saying trans and ecu aren't on same program. every time i take to honda they wanna blame the owner. i go there with tons of documents about how others having same issues but they won't do anything about this, i'm told i have to pay in order for them to diagnose the issue and that's with an extended warranty bwt. they will come up with every excuse not to help you, honda is putting a lot of drivers in danger by not fixing these system and computer problems . i work for a honda dealership i know what and how mechanics are instructed to do

Over 12 different times in the past 6 months since i purchased the car it has had serious electrical issues ranging from locking itself with the keyless fob inside the vehicle during a snow storm, all windows including moon roof rolling completely down during a rainstorm when parked or in motion. when parked, the alarm blaring non stop for hours and the battery dying completely without warning or drainage on my part of any kind. all systems on the car shut down completely after loss of power including the braking system and you can dive it that way. it brakes hard on its own on the freeway. there is a usb port in the center console right next to cup holder that can get wet if you have a drink in there. i notice the weather conditions were cloudy, raining, or snowing during the majority of the bigger issues.

Steering wheel is peeling off leaving sticky residue underneath

Every time i change or check my oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. when i take the dip stick out and smell it, all i smell is gasoline.

My 2016 honda civic only has less than 25000 miles, the ac had not working since this summer, after i took the car to schaumburg honda in illionis, they said the condenser is find but compressor has a leak which will cost over $1000 to be fixed. i decided not repair but still was charged $140 for the inspection. totally not acceptable!

Faulty air conditioner system that has an extended warranty covering the compressor and refrigerant leaks.

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.

I bought a honda civic 2016. i notice that my front led light maker does not work only left side work and it is about to go out too. sometime it goes on as its please. and air condition does not blow cold air . i hope they recall all these problems..

Steering wheel sticks while attempting to drive straight causing the car to either drive to the right or left. this happens while driving for approximately 30 minutes or so and especially has an effect on the vehicle at higher speeds. multiple forums and over 60+ complaints on this and no recall yet?

I have a 2016 honda civic. after 20 minutes driving on the highway, the steering wheel stiffens up a lot and the car starts drifting left or right. therefore, i have to use excessive force to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction it is drifting in. this occurs every couple minutes. i have to essentially drive in a zig zag formation to stay in the same lane. after getting off the highway and onto local roads, the problem persists on local roads but is less frequent than on the highway. having this much difficultly steering the car is a huge safety concern and can lead to car accidents. at the honda dealership, they determined that the steering rack had to be replaced. since the warranty period for the car has already passed, they quoted me over $3,000. there is an existing recall by honda on the 2017 and 2018 civics for the electronic power steering system (eps). but, the eps in the 2016 model gets overlooked. 2016 civic drivers should not have to shell out so much money to get a car with a properly function eps.

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.

Steering at 40 plus mph gets stiff making it difficult to stay in lane

Air conditioning not blowing cold after 3 months of filling up freon.

I have a honda civic 2016 and my ac was not working since last year 2018. i took my car to the dealer ship and being told that i need to pay $295 for the diagnosis which i refused to do it. i did some research to see if anyone has the same problem and yess they do and a lot. i took my car to the dealer ship today after i got recalled letter for the condenser. after 6 hrs, they called me and told me that my condenser is good, but my compressor is not and the repair fee will be up to $1200. if i refuse to fix it, i still need to pay $395 for the diagnosis fee which is stupid. i looked it up again and had read a lot of complaint about the compressor. i am paying off my car which i own for almost 4 years and now everything is already broken. this is my first honda car and i regret that i chose honda. i hope honda do some research and read about people complaint and do something about it. never buy honda again.

Vehicle touch screen turned green. cameras stopped working. screen beeps intermittently when handheld device is connected to the infotainment screen. will begin to work again aftet a few minutes pass.

I've had my car for less than a year and on three separate occasions it has failed to start. the first time it happened, i did a google search and saw that this was a common problem with the car. i found a youtube video that gave instructions on a possible remedy -- which included going under the hood of the car and finagling with the battery, etc. my husband tried this remedy and once my car started, i immediately took it to the dealership. at the dealership i was told that my battery was dead; they replaced the battery. months later, with my new battery, this happened again. my husband tried the remedy again but when i took it to the dealership i told him that they should look further into this issue because it is not just the battery. to me, it was some kind of electrical glitch. the dealership informed me that because they could not replicate the problem of the 'no-start', there was nothing they could do. at 6 months pregnant i told them that i was being left in a vulnerable position with a very unreliable vehicle. i told them that a google search would show that this was happening with many honda civics and that this must be a known issue. they said they would have a honda representative contact me and that never happened. i told myself that if this happened again, i would do nothing myself. i would get my car towed to the dealership. well, of course, it has happened again at 9 months pregnant. i had my car towed to the dealership because it again has not started. the car remains in accessory mode and the brakes and shift gear is locked. i truly think i have a lemon vehicle because this company is refusing to look further into this issue. to note, each time the car hasn't started, it has been after i've turned the car off and returned to it a short time later, either at home on the street or at work in the parking lot.

Engine oil level continuously creeping above max fill line after every oil change. note: oil measured at same location in garage and at same temperature, and oil allowed sufficient time to drain back into oil pan.

Received a letter from honda about a/c condenser leaks. took it to the dealership, said that condenser is fine that is the compressor that is leaking. total job cost is over $1200. called honda, said that compressor is not covered in warranty extension.

I purchase this car in june of 2019; i had the car for approx 5 months. i told the honda dealer mechanic that something was wrong with the brakes when i bought it. i brought it back in september. they claim they checked the brakes and everything was find. i had a maintenance check and an oil check. a month in half later i experience the problem with the brakes i was complaining about in september. on 11/14/19 i drove my car to a location no problems. i parked the car . when i went back to turn on the car that’s when the brake lights came on saying electrical brake problem. i read they had a recall on the electrical brake system. i wonder did this car ever got fixed from the recall. turned my car on and the brake system light begin flashing stating electric parking brake problem. the red light continued blinking. the car was in park when this happen. the car was stationary. i drove the car on with the warning lights still on.

I bought a 2016 honda civic brand new. it has 32000 miles on it. the ac quit working in september this year. summer temperatures reach well above 110 f in mesa, az. after spending one week in a rental car and 300 dollars, finally got my car back. my ac worked only for one month and now is blowing mostly hot air. i am very concerned that the dealer is going to say that my guarantee is expired this time. maybe a class action law suit is needed before a serious heat stroke kills somebody.

When i turn on the car all of the electrical lights turn on and the car locks, i can't move it from the p (park) shift. this has happened to me in the last 2 1/2 months, 3 times.

On 10-31-19, driving my 2016 honda civic 1.5 turbo engine taking my kids to school. car was driving well, until a reach about 1 mile, while making a left turn the car loss power and can only drive up to 15 mph. i have to drive my car back home and get my other car. the honda never regains normal power. the same date in the evening, i drove the honda for about 3 miles around my neighborhood and never loss power. the following date, i drove the car and suddenly again loss power while making a right turn a block away from my house. drove back my honda back to my house with the car never regaining normal power. the honda civic only drives well for less than a quarter mile and then suddenly loss power, especially when making a turn. this is a safety hazard. when the car loss power it only drives up to 15 mph (which takes several seconds to reach 15 mph) and never regain normal power. this loss of power started on 10-31-19, which was a very cool day about 24-degree fahrenheit. my car is not driver able any longer. now that this happen, i research problems with 2016 civic and found out that honda had an issue with 1.5 turbo engine since 2017. one month and half prior to this happen, i took my car to the honda dealer services twice and only want to charge me with things that the warranty did not cover and could not tell me what was wrong with my car. honda dealer should had known the problems my car has are relate to oil dilution in the engine, but decided not to address it. now, i have a car that is not driver able and not safe to drive. honda place my family life in danger, such that the street around our city, cars drives between 55 to 70 mph. this easily could cause a car to re-end or t-bone the car while making a turn on a busy traffic street.

The steering is very jerky and sometimes stick. it sticks and you have to snatch it in order for it to turn. this is very dangerous at high speeds on the highway. the steering wheel gets stuck while driving over 55.

A/c started blowing hot air around 40,000 miles. took it to the dealer who refused to perform a diagnosis because the parts are on a national back order. this is very unsafe in the summer to drive a 7 year old and infant without a/c. i'm considering trading it in for something older and without this new a/c system.

The air conditioning system in my car started to blow hot air on the driver's side while remaining cool on passenger side. i took it the dealer where i bought the car and was told that the condenser had a leak which was caused by a rock or rocks. i was told that although there is a 10 year warranty on the condenser it doesn't apply because the part didn't fail, it was due to road debris. this is despite the fact that the front of this model of honda is completely open under the bumper easily allowing small rocks and bugs to enter and be embedded in the condenser. i was told that the compressor "blew up" because it was still running with low freon and would not be covered either. this is despite the fact that the vehicle should have a low pressure switch which shuts off the compressor when there is low freon to prevent this type of damage. i was told the cost of repairs would be $1854. the service manager has not returned my multiple calls to discuss my concerns about the vehicle. i have had all of my service done at the dealership and when this started becoming an issue last year i would have thought honda would address it and let consumers know what steps could be taken to prevent the damage - if that is what caused the condenser to fail. as other complaintants have noted this is an issue for clearing the windshield in rainy weather, i have already experienced that problem and it is an issue in hot weather especially for people with disabilities affected by hot weather, the elderly and children. i can provide the dealer estimate and pictures of the car's front and condenser if that would be helpful.

Car has 19800 miles. this monday will be the 4th time i will be at dealer because the a/c is once again blowing warm air. after the 3rd time i switched dealers. they replaced the lines and that was short lived. just before the warranty ended i purchased an extended warranty for $1500. i live in florida and this has been a nightmare. each time it takes 3.5 hrs. to run a diagnostic. corporate supposedly knows of the problems. nothing is being done. do a search on google on this car with a/c problems and there are many, many complaints

Every single dashboard warning light and system control lights come on. get message that system is initializing. says problem with tire pressure system, stability, brake system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, hill start assist problem, etc. despite numerous attempts, these lights will not go off. steering is loose and feels out of control.

A/c compressor failure.

After driving my 2016 civic (with less than 18k miles) on the highway for more than ~15 minutes, the steering became difficult to turn away from center. this sticky steering requires additional effort to turn the wheel from straight. this was very noticeable even when trying to keep the car in my lane. and after the steering becomes sticky, it persists even at lower speeds off the highway. my local honda dealer diagnosed (and replaced) a failed electrical power-steering rack. i saw many other people describing this same problem in various online car and civic forums.

A/c went out at 24,000 miles- this is a huge safety hazard, especially with all black interior. took vehicle in to dealer and was told something punctured the a/c compressor, very likely a small rock bounced up and hit it. called honda and was told because the mechanic said it was an outside object that caused it, they would not cover it. vehicle hasn't been driven anywhere other than established roads. honda rep was extremely rude and argumentative. asked for a supervisor and was told "i am the supervisor, there's no one else you can speak to." researched verbatim what was told to me by the mechanic and there are thousands of people having the same issue. clearly a faulty design/design flaw on honda's part. could be over a grand to fix. there are also numerous vehicles being traded in to the dealership with the same issue, some at 12,000 miles.

My vehicles just past 3 year period and air conditioner is blowing hot air. took to dealer and they say low on feon and needed recharge because only seeing 120kg out of 420kg gas. must have leak somewhere.all my pervious car i had have no issue w/ lost of feon. something is going on and dealer is not telling me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic, the contact was informed that the engine was leaking freon. the contact informed atlantic honda (1375 sunrise hwy, bay shore, ny 11706, (631) 665-0005) of the defect and was informed that he would have to pay for diagnostic testing. the contact also notified the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not under warranty; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 25,000.

Ac is not blowing cold air. my mechanic says that the ac compressor system is leaking and would need to be replaced. my car is at around 38000 miles and it has been less than 3 years since i bought it. this is completely unacceptable and absolutely unbearable during the summer.

Ac expansion valve failed prematurely (before 50,000 mi) but outside of factory warranty. causes ac to be inoperative and windows to fog up and impair visibility, especially in very humid weather. it is also a safety issue since ambient temperatures in tx and the south can easily reach 100+ before any effects of the sun or humidity.

I have issues that have been reported previously and while the vehicle was under warranty. now that the warranty is out the problem has been more severe. the 1st problem is the display for the radio, heating and cooling and the speed display has been effected some but not like the radio and cooling/heating display. it has gone blank, it has froze up. it has lost all functioning. the 2nd is the air compressor. it has a leak and apparently this is an issue with a lot of the tourings. people have replaced them and had the same issues. the displays have had problems both in drive modes and parked. i have googled on how to fix those issues and we have disconnected the battery to do the same. the cooling/heating system cools some times but not all the time.

When im driving on the freeway around 60 to 75 mph, the steering wheel sticks. i need to jerk it back to position. it happens after driving for more than 30 mins. already brought it back to the dealer 3 times in in the past 2 years but they cant seem to "replicate" the problem. i have noticed that it is getting worse. car has 34000 miles on it.

Ac compressor leaking

When driving on the interstate for about at least 15 minutes, the steering wheel sort of sticks and takes extra pressure to turn. this is especially noticeable when you’re simply trying to correct minor lane drifting to stay straight and it takes extra effort to do so. it could definitely become a safety hazard should you fail to move the wheel in enough time.

My 2016 honda civic ex-t was purchased brand new on 2016. in less than 40,000 miles, my air conditioning unit blows hot air. it is currently in the shop replacing the ac unit. they said there was a leak and i am sure refrigerant is not a safe chemical to be leaking out in the environment.

The parking brake activates randomly without my manually activating it. it doesn't happen everyday but when it does its annoying.

Car a/c just blowing warm/hot air, never gets cold and its been 100f with a heat index of 115f. car is just out of warranty. honda is refusing to admit there is a problem and will not recall despite all the complaints online and in forums.

While driving my vehicle the brakes slide (vibrate a little) this doesn't always occur but when it does it is obviously felt while using the brake pedal during driving. there is also a noise when i initially start my vehicle, i noticed the only warning light is the brake light alert.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. must use force to correct merging of the car. response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. almost feels like the wheel is sticking

Reports further allege that the malfunction in the civic a/c condensers, compressors create risks for damage to other components in the vehicles’ systems and refrigerant leaking which is definitely not good for the environment.

I purchased a used 2016 honda civic touring and didn't notice this problem right away because i didn't drive it long enough on the highway. after driving the car on the highway for at least 30 minutes suddenly the car begins to drift ever so slightly one way or another. when i go to correct, the steering wheel resists. it doesn't freeze but it sort of "sticks" until i apply a bit more pressure, after which it suddenly releases, corrects, and acts completely normal. moments later however, it drifts the opposite direction, and i am forced to repeat the same process all over again. end result is i begin drifting slightly back and forth down the highway repeatedly, all the while fighting with a steering wheel that doesn't seem to want to let go. i found many complaints about this on the forums and some have been told it's eps rack. honda needs to recall and replace this. someone even made a video on this issue http://youtube.com/watch?v=w5x_cavhxmm

When driving the car in certain situations the car will momentarily apply the brakes automatically rather hard for a period of a second or less. this occurs when on a highway and driving with the adaptive cruise control engaged and when passing a tractor trailer truck. it appears to happen only under certain situations such as sunlight angle and the color or reflection from the truck are interfering with the cars sensing brakes can also be automatically applied rather hard when exiting a highway ramp without using a turn signal. this can happen without the adaptive cruise control applied so i suspect it is related to the collision avoidance feature. i have owned this car since new and these events have occurred more then a dozen times. on a trip driving from florida to pennsylvania on rt 95 it happened about 5 times. very frightening to have the brakes applied spontaneously at 70 miles/hr when passing a truck. i have asked about this during service at a honda dealer and they reported everything was working properly.

Anything over 30 mph, i can't keep the car driving in a straight line, it constantly drifts left and right. the power steering seems to "stick" and requires constant back and forth adjustment to control the car. newnan ga honda dealership said the entire power steering rack will have to be replaces for $3300. there are many 2016 civics with this problem. i'm far from being the only person this has affected.

The vehicle experienced an intermittent but sudden and complete loss of braking power while driving on the highway moving at around 40mph. in part due to the low speed, the vehicle was safely maneuvered off the road once braking power was regained. the car dealership was able pin the issue to an electrical circuit failure in the brake control unit (honda error codes v300-49 and v3003-68) and recommended changing the vsa modulator unit. regular scheduled maintenance done on the vehicle just a month prior to the incident at the same dealership indicated no observed issues with braking. attached is the invoice of the vsa unit replacement work performed as recommended.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. when the vehicle was started, the contact heard an abnormal tapping noise coming from the passenger side of the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who confirmed the noise was coming from the engine. the independent mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed by honda. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the dealer was not contacted. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 16v074000 (engine and engine cooling). the failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Steering the car is difficult. when the car drifts or you turn the car in either direction the steering wheel sticks. this causes you to over correct to break free the sticking sensation or causes you to drift excessively to either the left or right. controlling the car takes more force than it should require and i still can't ensure i can drive it safely. car is a 2016 and i've read several others with the same car have experienced the same thing. dealer attempted to fix by changing out the electric power steering motor ($1550) but it did not fix the problem.

The air conditioning compressor stopped working. there was a leak in the compressor.

The air conditioning blows hot air.

Sticky steering wheel. subtle movements cause resistance and force me to jerk the steering wheel in a specific direction. this only happens after you've been driving on the highway for 30-40 minutes. car was bought new in 2016.

When making small adjustments keeping a straight trajectory above 55 mph there is a "sticky point" in the steering. when lightly moving the wheel to the left or the right you encounter a point of resistance, steering through the resistance forces an over compensation making a zigzag style of highway driving. important the steering wheel will not self center even if you take your hands off the wheel, you literally have to steer back through the point of resistance to re-center the wheel. the honda part number being replaced on this vehicle and other vehicle with the same problem is 53650-tba-a01

Electronic brake assist is malfunctioning my vin series is not covered yet u see the current recall. this car is a danger to me and my family and everyone on the road.

My emergency brake would not engage properly resulting in several incidents of the car 'rolling' away after engaging the e-brake. this happened for some time until i could not engage the e-brake at all unless continuously engaging the button and waiting up to 10 minutes and 20+ 'pulls' of the brake button. if i was able to, it would not stay on for good at all times, resulting in the car rolling away quite often. this was extremely scary and unsafe. when honda said my vin was not included in the 2016 civic safety recall regarding the same issue, i decided to fix it out of pocket. however, this recall should be extended to other vins because it is the same problem and may happen again regardless of my dealership fixing it on this occasion. i thought by law, recalls happened by year, make, and model, not necessarily by the specific vin #s affected (in the past when i was contacted about a safety recall for a different car company, i was told vin didn't matter, only year, make, and model). i am extremely disappointed in honda's handling of this situation as it can cause serious injury and death and i think it's only fair to reimburse those of us who have the same exact problem with the 2016 emergency breaks but have not been included in the recall. honda did tell me that if enough people reported the problem, they might extend the vin range for the recall. this indicates to me that honda knows it's problematic in most if not all the 2016 civics. thank you for your time.

Having issues with the brakes, acts like when you brake its seem like wants to keep going, purchase 3 mos ago from dealer, tires making grinding sounds when driving on frreway with speed between 65 and 70 mpr.

The paint on my civic is peeling around the rear window. the peeling is noticeable, growing, and not a function of neglect or abuse. it's like the paint was not properly applied or there is some manufacturer error that is causing the problem. the paint color is cosmic blue. it is only peeling in one spot.

Ac compressor is leaking at 26,000 miles. at honda dealership now. honda dealership has been advised they cannot even order replacement parts to repair at this time due to honda having a hold on them. compressor is defective and should be replaced/recalled by honda.

A/c system became non functional at 41,000 miles. obviously just out of warranty. been reading all over the internet about the defective a/c system in the 2016 honda civic. i find it hard to believe that honda hasn’t issued a recall or there hasn’t been any class action lawsuits regarding this serious design flaw that honda is well aware of. since i owe less on this car than what the repairs will cost, i’m planning on trading it in for a 2020 hatchback version and hope that this defect has been corrected with the newer models.

I purchased a brand new 2016 honda civic in march 2016. within the first 6-8 months i began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. i had to call honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. then came the electrical issues. i would lock the car and all windows would be up when leaving the car but i’d return to all windows down and the sunroof open! this happened twice within the first two years of owning the car! last but certainly not least is the battery issue. the battery won’t last 10 months without issues! if you try to charge your car in accessory mode, the car battery will die and you will need a jump. i had aaa and used up all but one of my calls up on the battery issues this car has. my car insurance has roadside assistance and i had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that i was told in june that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!

When driving for 20 minutes or more on the highway the steering begins to stick while trying drive straight.

Ac component on my honda civic not working properly. this is an issue as i have done the research and seen that there are many with the same year and model as mine that are experiencing bad ac quality. my ac will be cold on the passenger side but hot on the driver side. i am looking to see if there is a recall since honda has been made aware of the issue and has now acknowledged it could be failure on their part. i bought my car used with only $35,000 miles, it worked find until it hit $38,000 and then it has started to get hot in the car.

A/c has gone bad in less than 3 years of owning the vehicle and has been reported as a common issue in 10th generation honda civics.

When temperature spikes hit the area i live in the steering seems to stick slightly when driving.

When the warmer weather started, i noticed my air conditioning was only giving out cold air on the passenger side. when brought to the local mechanic, they said they could not assess what was wrong with the air conditioner due to the design of the car for that year. i brought it to the honda dealer for repairs on may 20, 2019 where they said i needed a new condenser due to a leak. they could not say what caused the leak, but the honda service representative stayed that due to the design of the engine that year, something as simple as a rock could have easily punctured the condenser. the total amount in repairs was $907 on a three year old vehicle. it was also stated that since this is such a well-known issue, i could not file a claim through my comprehensive insurance.

Strong fuel smell in the engine along with the oil above the fill line after checking it

A/c evaporator coil had bad weld. $1600 repair after evaporator coil replacement, evac, and refill of freon.

Air conditioning system does not work. dealer wants $2,382.15 to replace a/c compressor w/ clutch and coil ($1500.26), condenser ($599.04), evacuate and recharge complete($159.95) filters and air cleaners ($122.90) , air ventalation system cleaning ($89.95). 2016 honda civic ex 70,491 miles. last year i brought the car to dealer and they vacuumed and refilled the system ($159.95). this year same problem, no cold air and now being told entire system is defective. i can not properly clear my front windshield because does not work properly because i don't have a/c .

Brake light came on flashing, brake system light, and error on panel electric parking break failure. this seems to be a recall on most 2016 models

Estoy teniendo problemas con mi carro cuando el carro esta en modo parkin esta bien pero no mas lo muevo a modo de manejo. empiesa a temblar cuando paro en una luz. lo rpm bajan y empiesa a temblar lugo lo muevo a parking otra vez y se pone normal. el carro est gastanfo mucha gasolina casi no lo uso. apenas tengo ni un mes que lo compre

There was a failure of the ac condenser causing the need to replace the whole unit, as well as the sensor. the corporate honda representative even admitted on the phone that their dealerships have reported similar issues with the condensers on the civic models, including units delivered from the factor that had already failed. a simple search of credited automotive review sites shown many examples for this model year, where the ac units have failed. as the corporate office has failed to issues a voluntary recall for this issue, i ask that you look into this and protect the consumer. thank you.

Engine stalled at highway speeds was told by the mechanic that scanned the vehicle that the computer needed to be reflashed honda stated no recall but multiple complaints online also on honda mechanic website states computer issue

My daughter was driving my car and hit a pot hole on a 2 line highway, then the tire blew out causing all the side airbags and steering wheel air air bags to deploy. the car did not hit anything else nor was involved in a collision accident.

While driving my 2016 honda ex-t dashboard lights started lighting up -emmision, eps, brake hold, etc the car immediately went into" limp mode" while traveling at 70 on the highway. i am told this caused a turbo problem and the turbo will have to be replaced. while researching on the internet this seems to be a common and reoccurring problem that is not being addressed. since it is a common problem it seems with out honda addressing the problem this will occur again with a new turbo. i am unsure if the multiple warning lights for problems that did not exist caused the turbo problems but it seems likely. since when these lights come on the car is designed to go into limp mode. this needs to be addressed. luckily i am an experienced driver and was able to handle the automatic drastic decline with out breaking while driving and coming to an almost complete stop. had the highway been busy this certainly would of resulted in an accident.

I have a 2016 honda civic ex, i was on the road for about 30 minutes in motion driving straight when the steering became hard like it was sticking. i got on the interstate and accelerated the faster i got the worse it got.it's pulls me to the left and then to the right. i then lowered my speed to 50 but it still continued to do this and has now gotten worse it never stops and is very hard to keep in one lane.know therhas been recalls on the 2017 honda civics for the exact same reason. this is a huge safety hazard. i have found that it will eventually lock up and has already caused accidents. i don't want to cause anyone any injuries or god forbid someone lose their life. it's getting alot worse . will notify honda. immediately!

The steering wheel sticks when driving on the highway. it feels like the steering wheel is catching when you are trying to keep the car in the lane. when it releases, you have to correct the steering quickly in order to stay in the lane. this a constant problem. there are no times when this does not happen. this is a huge safety risk especially when on a 2 lane highway and there is an oncoming car in the other lane.

In the summer of 2018, with the air conditioning system on, it was blowing warm air on the driver side while the passenger side discharging cold air. took the car to the dealer for inspection. the service department informed us there was a leak. a dye was added to the recharged refrigerant. early this month, april, the ac wasn't provided any cooling. took the car to the dealer and was informed that the ac compressor along with refrigerant piping was leaking and need to be replaced.

The rear facing camera fails to display on the screen when the transmission is in reverse. this has happened 5-6 times since 01/01/2019. this has only been observed after initial startup.

Randomly heard a pop, and the ac stopped working. took car to a dealership that tried to tell me it was road hazard damage. after leaving honda i called back to inquire more information, honda refused to show me the issue but told me they would charge me $200 for a diagnosis fee. something seemed wrong. checked online and saw thousands of complaints for the same issue. called honda corporate and was told to take it for a second opinion elsewhere. they knew about the ac issues and said it would be covered under warranty except my car is out of warranty because of high mileage. without the ac the defogger doesn't work. this is extremely unsafe in certain weather conditions. not sure how to get honda to recall this but it seems they have a history of ac units not working properly in cars. if someone dies on the roadway because of a visibility issue, honda will have a major lawsuit ahead of them. help us honda owners get the recall we deserve so we can safely drive the cars we spent so much money on. this is unsafe and not okay!

Vehicle was parked on driveway, when turned on it had battery and electric issues (battery just replaced by professional) ac blows out hot air (ac fluid just refilled as well by professional) and back door won't open from inside. car was purchased less than two years ago and already malfunctioning.

Was driving the car to an interview & i was probably a block from home. i was at a stop & when i began to accelerate & turn left the steering wheel locked mid drive & caused me to crash into a curb.

No cold air coming out with ac on. needed to replace a leaking ac compressor at 45,000 miles.

2016 honda civic lx, approximately 20,000 miles has a "sticky" or "notchy" feel to the steering during highway driving. the vehicle drifts slowly to one side of the lane, then when i try to correct back to the middle of the lane, the steering feels sticky and with slightly more effort to nudge it to the middle, it overcorrects slightly and is then drifting to the other side of the lane. this continues back and forth for the duration of the trip. note that this is subtle and it takes 5-10 seconds for each drift side to side. this has only happened on long highway trips after the car has been running for at least 30 or 45 minutes. i am concerned that this electronic steering problem will cause something will happen where i do not have any control of the steering. i noticed also a possible related problem when at parking speed, if i inch the car while turning and pressing the brake lightly i can feel the steering "twitch" a little.

All systems warning lights pop up on starting the car. i came home parked the car and started it 10 minutes later and all systems warning lights came on. power steering, parking brake, brake failure, collision mitigation system, tpms, lane departure system, traction control system, hill assist system, abs system . all these warnings show up on the dash.

The ac compressor is not working, and leaking fluids which is bad for the environment. purchased vehicle and dealership "charged up" the compressor, 3 days later it was not working. took it back in and they filled it up again, 3 days later it stopped working. they cannot seem to find the issue, but there is an ac compressor failure in this model, which i unfortunately have.

Engine oil level above maximum level, and the engine oil smells like gasoline.

Ac stoped working in 90 degree weather this is a safely issue especially with young children or the elderly

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. the contact stated that the air conditioner was blowing hot air. the contact drove the vehicle to browns honda city (7160 ritchie hwy, glen burnie, md 21061, (410) 553-8014) where it was diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor was cracked and a new one needed to be installed. the vehicle was not repaired because the dealer did not have the part. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 44,837.

I bought the car new and at about 35500 miles the steering while driving at any speed, straight always or turns it keeps feeling like it is sticking. i have been to the dealership who had me pay for an alignment even though it was not pulling. it did not work after repeated attempts. they have no other solutions. it is dangerous and i am still paying on my car so i need it.

My air condition compressor is defective and leaking the new very flammable refrigerant r1234yf gas out from the compressor itself. the shaft seal seems to be where it is leaking. this is a known problem and honda should issue a recall to replace all of the defective compressors they installed in their cars.

Steering issue- once warmed up and at higher speeds (noticed on highway) car pull left and right. must use force to correct merging of the car. response time is low when you try to correct the car back into your lane. almost feels like the wheel is sticking. car only has 34k miles- no reported accidents. no damage to steering that i can see. many sites have similar complaints that were found by a search

A/c is gone while the car only has 30k miles on it. it just happened actually not too long after the warranty expired. as per dealer compressor, condensor need to replace dealer gave the repair cost for us $ 2150.00, as i understand from internet there are so many vehicles have same issue what i have.

Steering is notchy and when i drive the car the steering is jittery, sticky and hard to move. it’s very noticeable when driving in a straight line from speeds between 20-70 miles per hour. also when the car is in park, when i try to slowly turn the steering wheel it will shake and stuffer. it’s verybhard to move the steering rack. this is very unsafe and might cause a collision.

Steering wheel is notchy, when i drive the steering wheel sticks and there doesn’t want to turn making the car weave. also when it’s in park and you try to turn the steering wheel slowly it shakes and jitters. car feels very unsafe while driving

Touch screen panel that controls the entire settings of the car over heats and blocks out making it very uncomfortable and upsetting not being able to control your /c settings or your radio and your phone. we have taken our 2016 honda civic touring that same year back multiple times in regards to this issue. however every time we took it they would replace it. since then the touch screen panel has some what worked properly to the point where it was just slow in functioning but workable. this time on june 27, 2019 it has completly done the same thing we were facing in the beginning and this is stationary and in motion, i have tried resetting it by disconnecting the battery and joining cables together and it just didnt work it continues to not work properly since day of purchase.i would like for some one to help us resolve this issue and to replace our panel for a good working one.

2016 honda civic, air conditioning quit working causing the defroster not to work creating a dangerous visibility because the windshield remained foggy.

Sticking stering wheel. my steering "sticks" after i've been driving for about 20-30 mins at around 40/45+ mph when temperature is above 70°f. take your hand off the wheel on a slight curve and it stays with the curve. trying to do a slight correction when it's like this and it literally sticking in place for a sec then allows the wheel to turn more freely.

Bought car december 22 2016 in june 2019 ac system broke down dealer says car is out of warranty we cant help you i believe this is unfair and honda financial wants me to continue pying for a vehicle that i believe is a lemon

Refrigerant leaking not good for the environment , while driving cool air just went off and it started blowing hot air.the car only has 86,000 miles

The a/c stopped working shortly after 3 years but luckily it was still covered under my certified honda warranty. took the car to the honda dealer and the technician said a/c problems are a common problem they see. check for leaks and recharged the system. it's been 3 months now and the a/c is starting to become ineffective again.

May 2016, i purchased the re-designed 2016 honda civic coupe lx. on july 13, 2018, my ac was no longer blowing cold air. it was luke warm if that. the dealer put dye in my ac to determine any leaks. they assured me that there were no leaks but rather - my 2 year old civic - had a low charge in the system and i was charged $312 for them to recharge my ac. they told me that it was not covered under warranty. i paid the $312. they checked my car again on july 27, 2018 and assured me that there were no leaks in my ac. well, 1 year later my car is back at the dealer for the exact same issue - ac is not blowing cold. i took my car in on june 14, 2019. on june 18 2019 i received a call saying that my ac was leaking in 2 parts - the evaporator (which they told me was a defective part and would be replaced under my warranty) and the condenser had a hole in in. the condenser is not covered under my warranty because of outside influence. so now a $700 bill i must pay. as i have come to find online - there are hundreds of 2016 civic owners experiencing the exact same issue with their ac. the location of the condenser appears to be a design flaw and i now the run the risk of encountering this problem every year because something can hit the condenser as i drive. i don't feel safe driving this car because i don't know if something will kick up and hit the condenser. on june 26, 2019 as they were performing the repair, i was told my entire ac unit is contaminated??? how is that possible with a closed system that i have not touched. last year there were no issues/no leaks - per the dealer. and, now, i need a whole new ac and my condenser and evaporator are leaking!! obviously, there is an issue here. i'm currently waiting to hear from the dealer to make sure this new unit is covered under my extended warranty. all of this on a 3 year old new car!

Power window on driver's side when trying to auto close (wind up feature) it goes half way and then auto opens (goes back down). noticed multiple times when stationary (both in park, neutral, and drive with foot on brake).

Takara recall i bought the car march 2016. summers get pretty hot in ohio so of course i have to use the ac. worked perfectly that year. well the following year when i went to use it it never worked at all. blew out warm air and never cooled down. so when i contacted the dealer they said " maybe you have a pin hole in a line, maybe compressor, low freon or something else." i was pretty upset that it wasn't under warranty anymore but how could something go wrong after one summer. i have kids and i'm unable to take them anywhere in my car because it's so hot. i have a buddy who has the same year and type vehicle and he has actually the same problem. i have read plenty of other complaints about this and wonder why the ac system hasn't had a recall yet. told it could cost up to $1000.00 to fix. dealership has had complaints about this and cant do anything until a recall is in place but said they will reimburse me when there is one so hold on to receipt. seems to be a common issue. i really hope honda looks into this matter. because it is really upsetting that this happened only after one year of driving it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving 45 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and seized. the contact called rick case honda (located at 15700 rick case honda way, davie, fl 33331, (954) 388-1035) and notified them of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 46,000.

Eps sub harness is made from a soy based product that attracts rodents and a common cause for wires being chewed and destroyed. as soon as we presented the problems with honda mechanic he immediately and suspiciously asked if we parked the car outside. upon his inspection of the engine he only looked at wires with predetermination that the cause of the issues was wiring. this appears to be a common compliant among the honda community and law suits have been filed, only to be dismissed due to technicalities of probable cause. the damage endangers the consumer driving because the car stalls and the driver loses the ability to steer because of the loss of power steering and function. because these are shorts occurring in the electrical system they tend to clear up in between drives making the driver believe the car is functional, but this only rises the risk to injury by accident and or even death.

My 2016 honda civic air conditioning compressor failed and no longer blows cold air. i reviewed several honda message boards and forums and discovered that this is a common problem with this model vehicle that homda refuses to acknowledge.

Ac is faulty from the factory. from the time i bought the car in 2016, the ac has been making hissing noises that were rpm dependent. when i took it in under warranty, they charged the freon and it was back to how it was in the beginning. because it was blowing cold air, i thought the hissing noise was normal. but it started blowing hot air another year after it was fixed. this time, the dealership says a faulty condensor was the culprit, and the repair bill would be $1160. it turns out many other owners of this car also experienced this same issue, where dealers charged the freon without fixing the problem before warranty, but quickly find the condensor or compressor broken after the warranty for the same symptoms.

Steering becomes very resistant to input at highway speed (60mph +) requiring considerable force to overcome often resulting in over correction. has been happening intermitantly since passing the 50000 mile marker.

I have a 2016 honda civic and about 4 months ago, while driving i noticed mostly on the interstate, that my steering wheel would get "sticky". i had taken my car in for an oil change and i addressed my concern to the mechanic. when i came back he told me him and all of his technicians drove the car and no one had a clue as to what i was talking about. over time it has gotten worse. it happens after driving at interstate speed for about 20 minutes. only when the steering wheel is positioned 100% straight. when you pull to one side, and it never matters left or right because it's both sides, it's like its stuck or pulling against you, like a resistance. then it suddenly let's go and it jerks. and then it's back the other way. so you're fighting the steering wheel the whole time driving while you're jerking back and forth side to side all over the lane. and it doesn't have to be just interstate. due to being a single mom and not having the "time off work" as well as no one believing me, here i am about 4 months later and it's so much worse. it's also summer now which i notice it's also at its worst when its blazing temperatures. it's gotten so bad that i can actually hear a noise now when it does it. i've looked this up because i felt like people thought i was crazy and with the amount of people reporting this safety issue, i can't figure how this hasn't been a recall. i understand things on vehicles need to be replaced after a while. they need maintenance and they cost money. but for this widespread issue on the same car and nothing is being done?! i bought a honda for the name, for the quality, and for the customer service, but at this point, that it's being looked over, i'm on the verge of trading it in for something other than a honda.

The air conditioning unit of my 2016 honda civic sedan failed to function normally after having worked profitably at the start of this summer season. replacing the fuses associated with the air conditioner's function did not yield in a change in performance. after having taken the vehicle to a dealership for service, it was found that the condenser of the civic was faulty. neither trauma nor damage was found by the service personnel. furthermore, they had indicated that this is quite a common complaint of this year's model. thank you for your time and for your consideration of this manufacturing issue.

There is a gap in the trunk lid that is causing water to enter into my trunk, anytime there is precipitation .

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while the contact was pulling into his driveway, the front driver's air bag deployed without warning or impact. there were no injuries. the vehicle was taken to hall honda virginia beach (located at 3516 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452, (877) 475-0724), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a case would be opened. the contact was not provided a case number. the approximate failure mileage was 33,256.

As i drove the car off the lot they tried to say it ‘‘twas bad tires they replaced it when it was really the wheel bearings. and i’m in finance with no background in car mechanics and i knew there was something wrong as soon as i drove of the lot. and then they tried to say who would have known but several of my friends and mechanics said it wasn’t obvious so they fixed it. i then told them beforehand i got the vehicle purchased that i required a state inspection to make sure it fell under the inspection rules of texas and they swore and signed off on paperwork that this was done on two separate work forms. well while i was driving i was ran off the road as my horn didn’t function at all after they had sworn they had done two inspections at this point and i have the paperwork to prove it. i could have lost my life in an accident if i had no drove off in the shoulder and the. i come back to the dealership and they try to say it wasn’t them and that it could have stopped working on its own which i find very suspicious. they then threatened to not fix my car when i said three needed to take the car back as they are not living up to the standards set dortrh. i also had the car stereo and electronics go wild and they wouldn’t stop urninf on music and turning it to max volume and it wouldn’t stop til i shut the car of whic is super distracting when i’m trying to drive.

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.

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.

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"

My ac is not working properly one vent is more cooler than the vent that is on the driver side.

Upon return to car after leaving car locked, four windows are found open all the way while shopping, parked in parking lot or parked at home or elsewhere, when opening windows from inside, glass goes up/down repeatedly, trunk opens by itself while vehicle is in motion. car is unsafe, subject to theft, or interior damage by the elements-rain, snow, etc. serious electrical/control problems. trunk problem was reported earlier to nhtsa shortly after purchase date of 3/05/2019 from dealer. dealer was also notified, they quickly checked & found nothing wrong. vehicle was driven at various speeds in interstate, county roads, local streets, at different dates, etc. *js

Steering wheel sticks (resistance to turning) when car is warmed up. most notable at highway speeds.

Car did not start, and flashed warning signs for electronic break malfunction. car was stationary in a parking lot after being dormant for approximately 8 hours. this is the second occurrence in 3 weeks, the first of which honda failed to diagnose a problem after bringing the car in for service.

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.

So i just bought a 2016 honda civic lx 2.0 used today with 26,000 miles. the dealership was a little over an hour away and about 30 minutes into my drive home i noticed the steering felt like it was sticking on the highway at around 65mph. it felt notchy and sticky like i had to use a little force to start being able to steer again. which causes you to overcorrect a bit. this is a huge safety concern on the highway. i looked it up and there's like thousands of people talking about the exact same problem.. the solution seems to be a new steering rack assembly...

The ac keeps going out. i have to have the compressor replace twice and 2 other parts replaced twice. the freon starts to blow out of the vents into the passenger compartment. this is dangerous i always have my kids with me. we always have infections that can be attributed to breathinng in this freon. every year it gets fixed in the summer. it works fine for oyr 2 summer months then i dont have to use it that often but as soon as the heat rolls up again i take it in for a check and it has no freon left.

A/c does not work well. car blows warm air. vehicle has 32,900 miles.

Parking does not start electric parking brake problem
