2016 Honda Civic

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.

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.

HONDA USE SOY ON WIRES BECAUSE IS CHEAPER THAN PLASTIC ,BUT IT ATTRACT RATS AND RODENTS THAT LOVE TO CHEW ON IT .WITCH RESULT IN CAR CRASH AND EXPENSIVE REPAIRS .I HAVE A NEW 2016 HONDA CAR 6 MONTHS OLD WITCH I HAD TO PAY 1481 $ EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A 5 YEARS ENGINE WARRANTY. HONDA MAKES MONEY OUT OF THOSE REPAIR AN AVERAGE OF 100 CARS COME TO EVERY DEALERSHIP EVERY YEAR : HTTP://CTWATCHDOG.COM/FINANCE/RODENTS-DAMAGE-CARS-BY-CHEWING-ELECTRICAL-CONNECTIONS-TIPS-ON-HOW-TO-AVOID-COSTLY-REPAIRS

ME AN MY BOYFRIEND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE OF OUR VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AT THE LAST SECOND WHEN THE ENGINE ACTUALLY STOPPED. WE WERE STILL IN A DANGEROUS AREA AND I COULDN'T EVEN DESCRIBE TO AAA WHERE WERE. FORTUNATELY A TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS PASSING BY AND SAW US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED TO HELP US. JUST TO GIVE SOME BACK STORY MY BOYFRIEND WAS READING AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE PISTON RING/CLIP AFFECTING THE ENGINE ON THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS AND WE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE CAR INSPECTED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. LATER ON WARNING LIGHTS IN THE CAR STARTED TO TURN ON INCLUDED THE BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHT. WE HAD A WORKER AT AUTOZONE CHECK THE LIGHTS WITH ONE OF THEIR TOOLS AND WERE TOLD THE LIGHTS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF IN THE INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE. WE WENT BACK TWICE SPEAKING TO THE MANAGER AND SERVICE TEAM AND WERE TURNED AWAY WITH A LIST OF ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON IN THE VEHICLE WITH NO REMEDY TO FIX ANY OF THE ISSUES. WHEN WE BROUGHT UP THE RECALL AGAIN WE WERE TOLD OUR CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER IT. BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE I AND MY BOYFRIEND COULD AVE LOST OUR LIVES IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. WE BOUGHT THE CAR MAY 2016 AND THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FEBRUARY 2016 AND WAS STILL OPEN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE CONSIDERING THE PARTS TO FIX THE PISTON PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SUMMER. SO WE WERE SOLD A CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. NOW I AM STRANDED WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS SUSTAINED DAMAGE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I NO LONGER WANT THIS FAULTY AND UNSAFE VEHICLE, AND I DO NOT TRUST HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE NEED YOUR HELP NHTSA!
