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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Takata recall. I've had this car for 3 yrs. The problem with it is that, when I come to a stop while driving it doesn't wanna take off. It hesitates for about 30 sec. The problem is that its dangerous when I turn left it stays in the middle of the St and I can get hit. At one point I had to put it in emergency lights and turn it off and on. Then it worked. Its been doing it for about 4 months at least twice a day. It started in about April. At first it wasn't that often then it started everyday. It happens anywhere, St highway, fwy, city even when I wanna reverse. Im not sure why its doing it I've taken it to the mechanic about 4 times. I do all oil changes everything, tire changes, rotations, the mechanic can't find anything. He even changed a sensor and it still does 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.
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!
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.

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
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.
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.
