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.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. While driving highway speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated. Occasionally, while operating the vehicle, multiple warning indicators illuminated, indicating failures with the braking system, steering, and stability control. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (apple Honda 1, 801 whiteford rd, york, pa) were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Issue with the 1.5 turbo called oil dilution. China had a recall on the turbo due to the fuel dilution problem (fuel getting into oil). Back in September on the way to Ohio from Indiana Civic broke down and stalled while driving down interstate 70, during a rain storm. Not a safe situation at all. Civic was towed to a Honda dealer in dayton. Was told oil was overfull and their solution was to drain and fill with proper amount. Was told by the dealer they had seen that before. It is coming together for me now when I saw a consumer report youtube discussing this engine issue and this youtube: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=J80bfjs-16U. 1.5 turbo is building up fluid in the crankcase like on the 1.5 turbos in the Civic. Had the oil changed again right at two months later, here in Indiana, with likely less than 2000 more miles and there is again buildup of fluid in the crankcase. The oil was overfull as confirmed by the techs at the local Indiana Honda dealer. This is a safety issue.
Stationary car completely shut down, would not start, battery check ok, could not take out of park, had to have it towed to shop and have tcm replaced and software updated- in motion -steering wheel slips and shakes as well - very disappointed in Honda.
I got into the trunk of my Civic (keyless) and when I tried to open the car, everything had shut down and it is locked and won't respond to the emergency key or the fob. This began 2 days ago and I see several other complaints O the internet of the same problem. It was parked in my driveway. Not being able to get into my car here in the Arizona desert could be a serioue problem.
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. If this happened on the freeway, it could have resulted in a fatal accident.
My vehicle break some time docent work....lighting is not proper and engine does nice even I do servicing and mention them but it got ignored by service center
Brought 2016 Honda Civic to dealership with A/C not properly working (blowing warm air), was told prior to drop off that it was likely a stone that hit the condenser causing a leak. Diagnostic test cost $135 + tax, was told that it was a stone that punctured the condenser, was assimilated to "just as if a stone had hit the windshield and cracked it, it would not be covered." Windshields are designed to deflect debris. This is not covered under warranty, and appears to be a common (previous class action lawsuit was settled on earlier Honda vehicles with this exact problem: "a rock puncturing the condenser" due to design flaw). This is absurd to not take care of the issue and charge consumers $900+ for a problem that could easily happen again if a "small rock or pebble" is able to puncture a part. 17,800 miles on the vehicle, 18 months old. If a small pebble can ruin a customer's air conditioning system on a brand new vehicle, which per warranty guidelines is neither an "accident" or "abuse" to the vehicle, is this vehicle even suited to be on the road? very disappointing as I was a life long Honda owner.
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.
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.
