2016 Honda Civic

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.

TRUNK AND WINDOWS OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ENGINE OFF, PARKED. BRAKE HOLD COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN CITY. REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ON KEY HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKED. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY, DOORS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN. VERY FEARFUL ABOUT THE ELECTRONICS SYSTEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

SOYBEAN WIRING ATTRACTING ANIMALS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND IT HAS HAPPEND TWICE WITH OVER 6,000 WORTH OR DAMAGE. LOCKED BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRICAL . A CHILD RIDES IN THE CAR, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT WAS NEVER EXPLAINED TO ME. PULLED OVER TO PARK. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART MY VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START EVEN WITH A JUMP ALL SYSTEMS, BRAKES STEERING LOCKED.

2016 HONDA CIVIC LEASED IN OCTOBER OF 2016. I HAD SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES COME ON SCREEN FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES SO I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD AN ANIMAL CHEWED THROUGH SEVERAL WIRES AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CARS BROUGHT IN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. SO NOT ONLY DID I LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING MY 6 MONTH OLD CHILD IN THE VEHICLE, BUT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FOOT THE $240 BILL TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. ALSO THERE IS NO CLEAR SOLUTION TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM AGAIN CHEWING THE WIRES AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK AGAIN. THAT IS UNLESS I TAKE THE ADVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS TO 'STUFF MY HOOD COMPARTMENT WITH FABRIC SOFTNER DRYER SHEETS BECAUSE ANIMALS DO NOT LIKE THE SMELL' WHICH AGAIN BRINGS UP SAFETY CONCERNSWITH A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC COUPE TOURING WAS PARKED IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE AT NIGHT WITH ALL WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SHUT. IN THE MORNING WHEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE, BOTH WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF (WHICH I NEVER USE) WERE WIDE OPEN. IN READING MULTIPLE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON, HOWEVER HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FOB FUNCTION THAT IS PROGRAMMED TO INTENTIONALLY PERFORM THE WINDOWS/SUNROOF OPEN FUNCTION WITH THE FOB. HOWEVER, THIS FUNCTION HAS NO MEANS OF DEACTIVATION!! THIS CAUSES A RISK TO ALL CONTENTS OF THE CAR. DEACTIVATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE MADE BY CAR OWNER.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, MY CIVIC HAS "LOCKED UP". UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE CAR WON'T GO INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK WHERE I WAS AND HAD TO GET THE CAR MOVING SO I FORCEFULLY ENGAGED THE VEHICLE BY INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE SHIFT KNOB AREA. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE STILL ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE, THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO MANEUVER, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WELL, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I EVENTUALLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND "RESET" THE COMPUTER THAT WAY. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN CAME BACK AGAIN SAME EXACT WAY. THE NEXT TIME, I DID THE SAME THING, DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IT RESET. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, BRAKING, OR WHATEVER. ALL I KNOW IS IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. ONE OTHER POINT TO MAKE, I ALREADY HAD THE "PARKING BRAKE RECALL" SOFTWARE UPDATE COMPLETED BY HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND ALL THEY COULD DO WOULD BE RESTART THE CAR UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I DID NO THINK THIS WAS A GOOD USE OF TIME (THEIRS OR MINE) SO I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL SOON!

UPON STARTING VEHICLE, CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN WAS BLACK. WHEN I TAPPED THE POWER BUTTON, THE SCREEN FLASHED GREEN AND WENT BLACK. NO RADIO FUNCTION, NO CAMERA FUNCTION, NOTHING. I DROVE ON CITY STREETS TO THE GAS STATION AND IN A FEW MINUTES, THE COMPUTER SUDDENLY WOKE UP BY ITSELF AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. JUST CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. WOMAN SAID NO ONE HAS CALLED ABOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, BUT THEY'D BE HAPPY TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR $100. I'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE WITH MY OLD PRIUS. THEY'LL RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. MEANWHILE I'LL BE OUT $100 AND MY TIME. AND LOOKING AT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHER HONDA OWNERS, SO HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. DRIVE BY WIRE IS DANGEROUS IF MANUFACTURERS CAN'T GET RELIABLE SOFTWARE. WE'LL SEE IF I HEAR BACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR NOT ABOUT TSB OR SOFTWARE UPDATES. I DOUBT IT.
