This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Paint peeling along upper edge of roof adjacent to rear window. Console display for backup/right turn camera only displays colored lines while stationary or moving. Mileage 33,340, Oct. 2020
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
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 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.
