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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
