2016 Honda Civic

CAR STALLS; WITH NO WARNING JUST TURNS OFF THIS HAPPENS WITH NO RHYME OR REASON AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MANY OF WHICH IS NOT DOCUMENTED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TAKEN INTO A DEALER; I COULD NOT AFFORD A TOW. I HAVE NOW SIGNED UP FOR AAA AND HAD IT TOWED INTO A DEALER THIS LAST OCCURRENCE. DOCUMENTED WITH DEALERSHIPS ON 5/12/16 CAR HAD 396 MILES ON IT; 6/3/16 CAR HAD 2722 MILES ON IT; 10/13/16 CAR HAD 10745 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE TIME THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD IT HAPPEN TO THEM NINE TIMES BEFORE IT SUDDENLY STOPPED HAPPENING. HAPPENED GOING 75 MPH GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. HAPPENS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORP (CASE#05150093) AND ASKED FOR HELP BUT HAVE NOT HAD A RESOLUTION. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS RECREATED THE ISSUE (COPY OF SERVICE TICKET ATTACHED) THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO THEY TOLD MY SON TO COME GET IT AND DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN CALL THEM TO TOW IT BACK IN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND HE COULD LOSE HIS LIFE AND POTENTIALLY MANY OTHERS. PLEASE HELP. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY SON OR ANY OTHER LIFE BE TAKEN BECAUSE HONDA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. WHEN CAR IS STARTED, IT RANDOMLY MAKES A MECHANICAL GRINDING NOISE. IT IS GETTING WORSE WITH TIME AND BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE STARTER WITH NO SOLUTION. THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT AND TO WAIT FOR A RECALL. CAR IS BEGINNING TO IDLE HIGH AND JERK BACK AND FORTH WHILE ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC.

WE BOUGHT THIS CARE BRAND NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER FROM A HONDA DEALER. TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL AT AN INTERSECTION IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD , ENGINE WENT FROM 15MPH TO 6MPH TO ZERO. ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. LATER I FOUND OUT THAT THIS MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A PROBLEM WITH A PISTON RING . HONDA SERVICE IS TELLING US THE A NEW ENGINE WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE CAR, DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO , NONE OF US IN OUR FAMILY FEELS SAFE ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR , BECAUSE IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH AND THIS HAPPENED, IT WOULD BE A DISASTROUS SITUATION AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. HONDA ROADSIDE ASSISTANT CAME AN TOWED THE CAR TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT . THIS CAR HAS 320 MILES ON IT.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2016 CIVIC 1.5T EX-L WITH 1,000 MILES AND A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WE NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL ALL OVER OUR GARAGE. IT'S BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE, PROBABLY SINCE WE GOT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL TODAY THAT THE OIL WAS COMING FROM OUR BRAND NEW CAR. AFTER OUR OWN INVESTIGATION, WE RULED OUT ALL OF OUR OTHER CARS AND TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP TODAY.

EVERY SINCE THE REPAIR OF THE RECALL THE ENGINE PULLS NOT EVEN AN HOUR AFTER THE PICK UP THE CAR HAD TO GO BACK IN THE SHOP FOR BELT REPAIR. IT MAKES NOISES AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE . I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO SPEAK WITH PATRICK NEVER TO GET A CALL BACK. THE CARE IS IN MOTION. THE SMART CONNECTION DOESN'T WORK IT STOP RECOGNIZING ANY DEVICE

I LEASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HONDA CIVIC ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2016 AND DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH 5 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2016, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS OTHER INDICATORS ON THE CAR, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OR PROPERLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CALLED THE DEALER WHO TOWED THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS A LOW COMPRESSION PROBLEM IN THE CYLINDERS AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE ROCKER ARM NOT THAT IT IS PART OF THIS PISTON PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK AT THIS POINT. THEY ARE KEEPING MY CAR UNTIL WEDNESDAY. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS PART OF THE STOP SALE ORDER. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DRIVE MY GRANDCHILD ON A DAILY BASIS AND DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ENGINE POWER AND I WILL HAVE THIS CAR FOR 3 MORE YEARS.

I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR ON 11/30/2015. SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN 22 MILES. I LEARNED OF RECALL ON 2/9/16 ON NEWS. I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY DEALER OR HONDA ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED DEALER ON 2/11/16 WHO IN TURN CONTACTED HONDA. BEING A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 22 MILES ON IT (3 TRIPS--THE FIRST BEING THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP), I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS MORE THAN REASONABLE.. HONDA REFUSED. I WAS ADVISED TOOLS TO EXAMINE FOR THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. SINCE THE CAR CAN NOT BE FIXED AT THIS TIME, IT IS A SAFETY LIABILITY, AND HONDA WAS NOT WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THING, I FILED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT WITH THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL. THEY WERE OF NO HELP WITH HONDA NOW REFUSING TO REFUND MY MONEY OR REPLACE THE CAR. TO DATE ( 2/25/16), I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL PAPERWORK FROM HONDA. THEY EXPECT TO SEND IT OUT SOMETIME IN MARCH. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SAFETY- LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ME, MY FAMILY, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS SHOULD IT STALL, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CATCH FIRE. I DID NOT BUY THIS NEW VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. BUT SINCE HONDA ANNOUNCED THE RECALL AND STOP SALES ORDER ON 1/29/2016 UNTIL NOW, THIS IS WHAT I FACE AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL CONTINUE. PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? THIS IS NOT THE NEW CAR EXPERIENCE I EXPECTED, AND I DID NOT BUY THE CAR TO BE INJURED, TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE, OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACCIDENT WITH MY INSURANCE PICKING UP THE TAB. I AM NOT THE ONLY 2016 CIVIC OWNER IN THIS SITUATION. WHY SO LONG TO NOTIFY US OF THIS DANGEROUS RECALL TO THE ENGINE NO LESS? I SEE HONDA HAS INDEMNIFIED ITSELF. WHAT ABOUT US AND OUR SAFETY? I WANT MY VEHICLE REPLACED OR A REFUND. I DID NOT BUY A NEW VEHICLE TO REPAIR IT WITH ONLY 22 MILES ON IT. THIS IS FAR FROM THE TYPICAL SAFETY RECALLS WE USUALLY SEE.

TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA ISSUED A RECALL OF APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MODEL YEAR 2016 CIVICS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA BECAUSE THE ENGINE CAN STALL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS IS DUE TO A PISTON CLIP THAT WAS NOT INSTALLED OR MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED INTO THE PISTON DURING ASSEMBLY. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT HONDA SENT A STOP SALE NOTICE TO ALL DEALERS ON FEBRUARY 2ND HOWEVER; MY 2016 CIVIC CAR WAS SOLD TO ME ON FEBRUARY 13TH FROM A HONDA DEALER LOCATED IN PHOENIX, AZ. I DID CONTACT THE DEALER AND AM TAKING MY CAR IN TOMORROW BUT I READ THAT THE PART OR INSPECTING INSTRUMENTS WON'T EVEN BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE END OF MARCH. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO INSPECT MY CAR TOMORROW BUT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. CAN'T BELIEVE HONDA IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK UNTIL THE NEW PART AND INSPECTING INSTRUMENT ARE AVAILABLE.

I WAS SOLD A 2016 HONDA CIVIC ON THE DAY (JANUARY 29, 2016) THAT AMERICAN HONDA NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A 'STOP-SALE' AND I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT UNTIL THEY FIX IT. HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD A VEHICLE WITH A SAFETY CONCERN AS GREAT AS ENGINE FAILURE.
