2016 Honda Civic

AN ERROR MESSAGE KEEPS COMING UP ON MY CENTER CONSOLE, WARNING OF AN "ELECTRIC BRAKING PROBLEM." THE RED BRAKE LIGHT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT ALSO FLASHES. THIS ALWAYS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE ON. WHILE THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, I AM UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. I HAVE ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE, AND THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I PURCHASED IT IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AS A NEW VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA. IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL ANNOUNCED THE MONTH AFTER, BUT I BELIEVE THAT RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME. PARKED CAR IN GARAGE ,AFTER FEW HOURS TRIED TO TURN ON.WHEN WE TRY TO START IT WONTS, BUT THE SIGN POPS UP SAYING ELECTRICAL PARKING BRAKE ERROR..CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE.LUCKY CAR WAS IN GARAGE WHEN BOTH INCIDENT HAPPENED.TOOK IT TO DEALER TWICE .TODAY WE PICKED IT UP FOUND DFTC U3OOO-49,ECU INTERNAL CIRCUIT FAILURE.THEY PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE.THEY SAID IT IS OK THIS TIME.CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM BE DEALT? MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND SHE IS MOVING TO COLLEGE IN AUGUST AND WILL NEED A CAR.HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS DEALT QUICKLY.IF NOT WILL NEED TO REPLACE ANOTHER CAR.I FEEL THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR HER TO USE.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND I TRIED TO TURN MY CAR ON AND I STEPPED ON MY FOOT BRAKE IT FELT REAL STIFF THAN I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE START BUTTON BUT MY CAR FAILED TO START. SEVERAL ERROR CODES POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD. (BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE HOLD SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEARING SYSTEM (EPS) PROBLEM VEHICLE STABILITY ASSISST (VSA) PEONLEM, HILL START ASSISST PROBLEM, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM, EMISSIONS PROBLEM.

THE COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN THERE ARE NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED ERRONEOUSLY NUMEROUS TIMES, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT HIGH SPEEDS (65-70 MPH), AND THE BRAKE ENGAGES ATTEMPTING TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP (HARD BRAKE). SOMETIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE, BUT I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "CLOSE CALLS" WITH DRIVERS BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDING ME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR UNEXPECTED BRAKED (HARD). ONE TIME, THE BRAKES ENGAGED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ONE AND NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER QUICKLY (TO AVOID THE DRIVER BEHIND ME REAR-ENDING ME) AND GOT A FLAT TIRE AS A RESULT. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE TO DEMONSTRATE/ENGAGE IN THE BEHAVIOR I WAS DESCRIBING, AND THEREFORE, SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. I ALSO REPORTED IT TO HONDA WARRANTY OVER THE PHONE. THEY THANKED ME FOR REPORTING IT AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED - THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT.

RANDOMLY I RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN WHEN STARTING MY CAR, "BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM". THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO REMOVE THE ERROR IS TO START WITH MY CAR IN PARK, AND MOVE FROM R, N, D, S, L, AND BACK UP TO PARK AGAIN. THEN I PRESS THE BREAK HOLD ON, THEN BREAK HOLD OFF, PARKING BREAK ON, THEN PARKING BREAK OFF, TURN OFF THE CAR, THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND THE ERROR GOES AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE I LEASED THE CAR IN 2016 AND HAPPENED THREE TIMES JUST IN THIS MONTH. ALWAYS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND LETTING THEM KNOW OF THE ISSUE THEY NOW RUN A FULL DIAGNOSTICS THAT MY WARRANTY IS OUT AND THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH A BAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. SO EITHER THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE ELECTRICAL BREAK SYSTEM OR THE BATTERIES IN THE 2016 HONDA CIVICS ARE BAD. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MISTLIN HONDA (4754 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356, (209) 549-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 05813896. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,160.

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.

MILO GORDON HONDA MISREPRESENTED THE REPAIR OF A SAFETY RECALL AND SOLD A 2016 HONDA CIVIC AS A NEW VEHICLE WITHOUT COMPLETING THE REPAIR. ON DEC 31 2016, I PURCHASED A NEW 2016 HONDA CIVIC FROM MILO GORDON HONDA IN LAWTON, OK. TODAY, SEP 1, 2017, MY ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED IN A STATIONARY POSITION ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP. AFTER THE MALFUNCTION, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ORR HONDA OF PARIS TX WHERE I DISCOVERED THE RECALL OF 2016 HONDA CIVICS. ORR HONDA CONDUCTED A VIN INQUIRY THAT SHOWED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED ON OCT 12, 2016, PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TESTED MY PHYSICAL VEHICLE AND THE REQUIRED UPDATE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NEVER MADE. IT APPEARS MILO GORDON HONDA UPDATED THE VIN DATABASE WITHOUT EVER REPAIRING THE ACTUAL CAR, THEN PROCEEDED TO SELL IT AS A NEW VEHICLE. AFTER THIS DISCOVERY, ORR HONDA UPGRADED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL ISSUED IN 2016. (PHOTOS ATTACHED)
