I bought my 2016 Honda Civic and never had issues with it besides the AC unit not working which was resolved because of the recalls and was repaired by my local dealership. Now I am having issues when it comes to accelerating. There is an accelerating delay/ stall when completing a stop and there-??s a delay to get the car to move after pressing on the gas pedal or when reversing when getting out of th driveway. The most dangerous event is when I-??m driving and i come to a stop to make a right turn and right after ensuring there is no upcoming traffic to make the right turn my car does not accelerate and it-??s very scary because I can get hit by another car. There-??s times where I-??m driving and the car can turn off. I feel like my life and other drivers life-??s are at risk. Honda has recalls for fuel pumps for other year/models but not for mine. I just want to make sure if this is something that can be recalled. Thank you
I bought my Honda new in 2016 from Space Coast Honda in Cocoa, Florida. It had 0 miles. Since 2016 I have had 5 separate issues with the air conditioner, and have had to repeatedly go back to Space Coast Honda. They released a warranty for the condenser, but refuse to acknowledge problems with the evaporator. There are many many people with a 2016-2018 Honda Civic who experience issues with the evaporator and Honda wants people to pay over $2000 to fix the issue. I find it hard to believe that these issues aren-??t all related. Honda needs to be held accountable for manufacturing faulty models of the 2016 Honda Civic.
This car has given me the same repeating issues. Winter time the screen blinks blank. AC issues because of the design. Feeling the car with my foot on the break at a red light makes me want to puke. And the big one the steering. After driving on the highway for a bit, I notice the steering has a sticky kind of groove it likes to be in. I have not found a solution to the problem. Safety-camera screen blinking but you're used to using it, could potentially hit something. Nausea in traffic not good for any one. Steering-trying to maintain a lane while the steering gets stuck to the left but the road is veering to the right, it's terrifying. The car has a mind of its own and only performs when it wants...no official dealer report. I don't believe there are any official reports in regards to my vehicle. There have been NO lights or any kind of warning or messages about this. AC was about a year into having the car. The screen happened first winter and every winter since. The sticky steering wheel has been like herpes for about the past 5 years. I just want to have nice things that work. Thank you for your time.
All engine lights flashed while driving, check engine light remained on after all others went off, emission system warning keeps prompting attention, and car just slowed to only 8 mph as I was driving down the road. Available for inspection any day. I had my 7 month old child in the backseat and almost got slammed in the back while going down the road as my car slowed abruptly as I was driving. Nothing was wrong prior, and I took it to a service department when I went for my oil change, but it was going to be very costly to just hook up for diagnostic testing. Car ran at normal speed after this incident, but engine sounds louder and rougher and check engine light and warnings are still present.
I love my Civic and I debated if reporting the issue, but in the interest of safety here it is: When you have to brake hard and suddenly (someone cuts you off) the car loses power (will not accelerate just coasts) for a second or two, but it seems like an eternity if you are in an intersection trying to get out of the way of aggresive traffic. After that power is back and the car is as excellent as it always has been. Incident has happened 3 or 4 times since I got the car in 2016.

Received recall notice on my vehicle per cylinder 2 & 3 misfiring. I brought my vehicle into service and I was told this recall did not apply to my vehicle as it was specific civics that had this problem (with my VIN on this recall) Honda then took this notice and disposed of it. I received another recall for drivability of my vehicle, still nothing done. About a year later my car was in and out of Honda due to my check engine light being illuminated. This was the trend from at least October 30, 2021 to present time. When my vehicle was brought in due to the check engine light being illuminated and the vehicle juddering, Honda replaced the solenoid purge valve as it was misfiring ($147). October 29, 2021 preformed a transmission fluid service ($159.95) and brake system fluid flush ($129.87) which I never approved of as I have never done any flush on any of my vehicles. December 10, 2021 my car was loosing power while car had only been running for less than 5 minutes, then died out in the middle of the road. Had car towed to Honda for diagnostic once again.. they performed a valve adjustment and replaced the gasket cover ($408.10). Which did not fix the problem but I was still responsible for the bill. Resulting in a -€œcracked engine-€ block per Honda-€™s diagnosis after all this extra work was put into my vehicle. I was giving a diagnosis of cylinders 2 and 3 being below specification (exact recall on vehicle, cylinders 2 and 2 under specification) resulting in the car needing a new engine, priced out to about $10,000 for a used engine and labor. Honda refuses to do anything about this problem.
Transmission replaced twice within 2 months. Vehicle makes loud noises. Vehicle not safe to drive. Transmission is defective. Parking brake has technical issues.

Ac system needs a new condensor and compressor due to leaking....car is not even 4 years old...this issue is ongoing and Honda has done nothing....not living up to reputation...this is my first and last Honda. I had to replace the battery in this car less than 3 years old and nothing was draining it....this has been a pain in the butt experience....I'm going back to toyoya. Honda refuses to deal with this ac issue that many of us are having when they are fully aware of it.
This vehicle has repeatedly been dying and having all of the error codes pop up while the car is running. We have had the car diagnosed and have been told there is nothing wrong by two different dealerships. However even when we are driving the car the car starts freaking out and losing power. We have verified that nothing is draining the battery and have had the battery tested twice. The battery must not be the problem but the electrical system is messing up so much that we are scared to drive it. I'm hoping by visiting the dealerships so many times that I will be able to file a lemon law vehicle and return the vehicle that was only purchased a few months ago.
A couple of times while im stopped at a red light my car stalls, I took it to a Honda dealer but they didnt find anything wrong with it. I'm worried that I get in to a car accident if my car suddenly stops while im driving.
About 3 weeks ago my A/C stopped working. It only blows out lukewarm or hot air on both the driver and passenger side. I have one much research being as the car is barely 4 years old and this should not be happening. It seems that Honda has faulty condenser and/or compressor.
Over the last year my 2016 Honda Civic felt like it wanted to stall while driving on the freeway. I didn't know if something was wrong until it did it when my husband drove it. A few weeks ago I got an oil change and 2 days later I went grocery shopping and my car would not start it finally did and I made it home. Later that afternoon I started my car and my cabin filled with the worse smell of gas and my granddaughter gagged. My dipstick for oil smelt I F gas too. I googled this and found out that there is an oil dilution problem with this model. I took my car to my local dealer and they checked it and said nothing is wrong basically because it did not throw a code and check engine light is not on. Honda has not recalled thus but they know there is a problem and they are offering a update but only to owners back East in cokd weather states. Well I know something is wrong and my dealer said I cant get update unless they see that code. I can't contact Honda directly because they are unavailable I may live in southern California but I live in T he mountains and its cold and snowy here 6 to 8 months out of the year so I should be entitled to this upgrade also. But local dealer can't do anything so now I drive it and cause more harm to my engine I am aware there is a class action lawsuit on Honda fir thus oil dilution issue and B they need to do a recall. I want my car fixed.
My 2016 Honda Civic ex-T A/C recently started blowing hot air. I took the car to the dealership and they want nearly $500 for the diagnostic. Then they said the compressor needs to be replace and it'll cost over 2 grand. My car nearly has 60K miles and there's no way the compressor should have leakage. I took good care of my car. If I known Honda I'd problems with A/C I would have never bought Honda. This issue needs to be recall. It is not a pleasant ride to drive in the hot summer without A/C and my mother is old. This is not good.
A/C quit working at 30,000 miles one year out of warranty. Dealer diagnosed compressor bearing failure - not covered under extended warranty for defective condensers. Cost to repair: $2,000 + this is both dangerous due to inoperative defrost/defogging as well as risking passenger overheating in extreme weather - especially those of us who are seniors.
Car has only 33K miles and needs a new compressor at a cost of $1700. There are numerous reports of compressor issues with the 2016 Honda Civic. They need to recall it.
