2016 Honda Civic

IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE PAINT ON THE DIVER SIDE IN THE CREVICE BETWEEN THE REAR WINDOW AND THE BODY OF OUR 2016 CIVIC STARTED PEELING IN CHUNKS OF GREATER THAN 1". BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF THE 3/36000 WARRANTY, WE WERE OFFERED TO HAVE THE AREA REPAINTED AND WE CONSUMED HALF THE COST. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER, AND STILL LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, THE PAINT IS NOW PEELING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE SAME EXACT FASHION. THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON MANY CARS IN THIS YEAR AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THOSE CARS AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE.

I BOUGHT MY CIVIC NEW ON 2016. THE CAR STARTS TO HAVE STEERING BECOME JERKY AND TENDS TO STICK IN THE CENTER POSITION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MORE THAN 20 MINUTES ON 03/15/2020. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE CAR DRIFTS TO THE LEFT SIDE AND I HAVE TO USE A EXTRA FORCE TO PULL IT OUT OF THAT STICKING POINT BACK TO THE CENTER STEERING . I DID RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND FOUND 107 COMPLAINTS ON HONDA CIVIC 2016 EPS JERKY PROBLEMS. I ALSO FOUND HONDA RECALL 18V663000 ( POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILS ) ON CIVIC AND CRV 2017-2018 BUT NOT INCLUDED 2016 WHILE CIVIC 2016-2018 USE SAME EPS ASSEMBLY PART NO.53650-TBA-A01 THAT FIX THE EPS FAILS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO DIAGNOSTICS THE PROBLEM ON 05/2020 WAS 52K MILES BUT THEY CAN'T CONFIRMED IT BECAUSE IT APPEARS AFTER AT LEAST 20MIN DRIVES SO THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THAT MUCH TIME TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY! I NOTICED THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY RELATIVE TO THE WEATHER TEMPERATURES AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS FEW MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DEALER FOR HONDA RECALL VSA AND PARKING BRAKE SOFTWARE UPDATED. IT'S CHALLENGING TO DRIVE A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN THE PROBLEM APPEARS . TODAY 04/28/2021 MY CAR HAS 57K MILES AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY OVER $2500 TO REPLACE THE EPS ASSEMBLY DUE TO OUT OF MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED TO OWN A CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES WITH MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES ON EPS UNPLEASURE TO DRIVE.

MY MAIN DISPLAY IS UNUSABLE AFTER DIFFERENT TYPE OF COLORS APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY. I CAN LISTEN TO THE MUSIC BUT MAIN DISPLAY IS NOT RESPONSIVE AND COLORS ON IT GO FROM BLUE LINES TO COMPLETELY BLACK. TRIED RESETING BY REMOVING THE BATTERY, REPLACING THE FUSE BUT NOT LUCK. ONCE IN A WHILE SCREEN WILL START WORKING AGAIN BUT AS SOON AS I TURN OFF THE CAR SCREEN GOES DARK AGAIN WITH LINES IN IT. I AM UNABLE TO USE THE REAR BACK CAMERA, UNABLE TO RESET SERVICE MAINTENANCE MINDERS. IT IS A DISTRACTION.

THE AC SYSTEM ON THESE MODELS HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE SURFACE STREETS THE WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY, I COULD NOT SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AND SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEANED THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE PIECE OF TOWEL. BECAUSE THE CAR'S AC WAS NOT WORKING IT COULD NOT DEFOGG THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA, BUT HONDA DOESN'T REPAIR IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE (WHEN ENGINE IS HOT), POWER STEERING STICKS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AND STAY WITHIN THE LANE. SMOOTH STEERING IS NOT POSSIBLE. MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH, AND NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS.

THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE STEERING SYSTEM SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT 'STICKING' POINT THAT REQUIRES A SLIGHT, ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO CORRECT. TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE (ASPHALT, CONCRETE, ETC.) SEEMS TO HAVE SOME AFFECT ON THIS ISSUE. IT IS SOMEWHAT DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THIS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING...NOT A GOOD FEELING!!!
