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.
Vehicle has repeatedly thrown errors with warnings to not drive the vehicle and have it inspected by the dealer. The vehicle has already been to the shop twice for the problem. In both cases Honda installed an updated vsa modulator they claimed would fix the problem. It has not. Not the local dealer doesn't even want to see the vehicle as they tell me their is nothing more they can do for us. They claimed to have emailed Honda corporate to have a regional rep contact us. It has been 4 days since. They say the vehicle is safe, but yet they don't even know what is wrong with it. The vehicle has a defect they cannot correct, and my car is not alone. Please look at these two sites to see examples: hondacivicproblems.com and www.civicx.com/threads/TPMS-ABS-brake-system-acc-freak-out.1002/ each time the vehicle is not in motion. Each time the error messages appear after starting the vehicle. Each time the warnings instruct you not to drive the vehicle. Errors include: Cmbs problem, adaptive cruise control problem, tire pressure monitor system, brake system problem, anti-lock brake system, tire pressure low, and charging system problem.
I bought a Honda Civic ex 2016 2.0 L on 2/17. On 2/24, the car broke down midway (miles driven 88). When vehicle was in motion, all kinds of video warning messages like problem with transmission, braking system, steering etc. Started appearing on the center display were the vehicle's speed gets displayed(part of the tachometer / speedometer display). I had towed the vehicle to the dealer. Next day the dealer returned the vehicle saying the car was in perfect condition and no warning lights are on. From that day onwards, I started facing intermittent problem with vehicle failing to accelerate which I feel is very unsafe. On 2/26 (at speed of 62 mph) and again on 3/4 (at speed of 46), while driving on the highway, the vehicle all of a sudden started losing acceleration inspite of me pushing the accelerator. Now I am really concerned about my safety. I took the vehicle to dealer on 3/4 and it is with the dealer for the past 6 days. Today (3/10), the dealer told me that the vehicle is in perfect condition as they are unable to recreate the problem. I am not feeling safe to drive this vehicle any more. I am lucky that I did not get into any accidents. The dealer is refusing to replace my vehicle and have asked me to take back the unsafe vehicle or trade-in the vehicle as an used vehicle. Since it is not safe to drive it, I am left with no other option but to bear the loss and trade in the vehicle. The vehicle is under 200 miles (most of the miles added due my trips to dealer and the miles driven by the dealer). I have a case registered with american Honda. But they also turned me down. I cannot take in any more pain. There is a recall on this model vehicle (Honda Civic ex 2016 2.0 L) and was also issued a stop of sale. Inspite of all these I was sold the vehicle putting my life at risk. Just because my VIN number is not in the list does not mean there is no problem.
Hi, I purchased 2016 Civic in Dec, 2015. I I have experience 3 issues till now 1. electronic brake - I have had 2 incidents where my electronic parking brake engaged automatically while driving, luckily was driving in city at lower speeds. But last week, was driving on interstate, stopped to fill gas - turned engine on, brake was engaged. Would not respond to the brake switch. Had to keep trying for a min or two before I was able to turn it off. 2. sudden resistance - have experience this quite frequently, need more acceleration to get the vehicle into motion mainly at traffic stops. 3. car radio - my model is equipped with all touch sensitive buttons. Power button on radio mostly do not respond.
Audio system is not properly initializing about 80% of the time you start the car. While much of this is simply inconvenient (no sound for the radio) it affects safety as there is no sound for the built in gps forcing you to look at the gps for navigational prompts versus audio prompts and the bluetooth system does not function so during incoming or outcoming calls instead of using bluetooth hands free you must pick up your phone while driving which is illegal in many states and switch from the car mode to the handset mode and then use one hand to hold the phone to talk, further distracting from safe driving. This appears to affect the touring model only, Honda is aware of the issue. Happens in all driving conditions but is random (about 80% of the time audio does not work). Honda case #04338617 was opened. They said to just wait for a fix, have owned car for 30 days now (new purchase). Dealer has no solution either.
The trunk and glove compartment do not lock...their is no way to safely valet park the vehicle and leave anything in the trunk or the glove compartment. This may not be a driving safety issue but it is a safety issue non the less. Honda must have lost their minds when they redesigned the vehicle. It makes absolutely no sense not be able to lock the trunk.
