I purchase this car in june of 2019; i had the car for approx 5 months. i told the honda dealer mechanic that something was wrong with the brakes when i bought it. i brought it back in september. they claim they checked the brakes and everything was find. i had a maintenance check and an oil check. a month in half later i experience the problem with the brakes i was complaining about in september. on 11/14/19 i drove my car to a location no problems. i parked the car . when i went back to turn on the car that's when the brake lights came on saying electrical brake problem. i read they had a recall on the electrical brake system. i wonder did this car ever got fixed from the recall. turned my car on and the brake system light begin flashing stating electric parking brake problem. the red light continued blinking. the car was in park when this happen. the car was stationary. i drove the car on with the warning lights still on.
The vehicle experienced an intermittent but sudden and complete loss of braking power while driving on the highway moving at around 40mph. in part due to the low speed, the vehicle was safely maneuvered off the road once braking power was regained. the car dealership was able pin the issue to an electrical circuit failure in the brake control unit (honda error codes v300-49 and v3003-68) and recommended changing the vsa modulator unit. regular scheduled maintenance done on the vehicle just a month prior to the incident at the same dealership indicated no observed issues with braking. attached is the invoice of the vsa unit replacement work performed as recommended.
I purchased a brand new 2016 honda civic in march 2016. within the first 6-8 months i began having electrical brake problem issues and getting notifications regarding faulty brakes. i had to call honda roadside assistance at least twice within the first year of owning the vehicle due to the faulty brakes and being stranded. then came the electrical issues. i would lock the car and all windows would be up when leaving the car but i'd return to all windows down and the sunroof open! this happened twice within the first two years of owning the car! last but certainly not least is the battery issue. the battery won't last 10 months without issues! if you try to charge your car in accessory mode, the car battery will die and you will need a jump. i had aaa and used up all but one of my calls up on the battery issues this car has. my car insurance has roadside assistance and i had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that i was told in june that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!
Car did not start, and flashed warning signs for electronic break malfunction. car was stationary in a parking lot after being dormant for approximately 8 hours. this is the second occurrence in 3 weeks, the first of which honda failed to diagnose a problem after bringing the car in for service.
Had brakes done car ran perfectly fine until i drove about 71 miles out parked car and got back into car turned it on again to head back home when anti brake system warning lights came on this is electric parking brake problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem. the brake system light stays on and when accelerating the red brake light flashes until the car is either placed on cruise control or comes to a complete stop on on drive reverse it does not flash.
Parking does not start electric parking brake problem
The parking brake activates randomly without my manually activating it. it doesn't happen everyday but when it does its annoying.
Brake light came on flashing, brake system light, and error on panel electric parking break failure. this seems to be a recall on most 2016 models
While driving my vehicle the brakes slide (vibrate a little) this doesn't always occur but when it does it is obviously felt while using the brake pedal during driving. there is also a noise when i initially start my vehicle, i noticed the only warning light is the brake light alert.
While driving my 2016 honda ex-t dashboard lights started lighting up -emmision, eps, brake hold, etc the car immediately went into" limp mode" while traveling at 70 on the highway. i am told this caused a turbo problem and the turbo will have to be replaced. while researching on the internet this seems to be a common and reoccurring problem that is not being addressed. since it is a common problem it seems with out honda addressing the problem this will occur again with a new turbo. i am unsure if the multiple warning lights for problems that did not exist caused the turbo problems but it seems likely. since when these lights come on the car is designed to go into limp mode. this needs to be addressed. luckily i am an experienced driver and was able to handle the automatic drastic decline with out breaking while driving and coming to an almost complete stop. had the highway been busy this certainly would of resulted in an accident.
When i pulled into my driveway last night after work, my car dash lit up with alerts, one after another. i tried turning the vehicle off and on, and the lights did not go away. they are still on today. they were emissions system problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering system (eps) problem, vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem, and hill start assist problem. i took a video of the alerts. i will try to upload a picture.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while driving highway speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated. occasionally, while operating the vehicle, multiple warning indicators illuminated, indicating failures with the braking system, steering, and stability control. when the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally. the failures were not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer (apple honda 1, 801 whiteford rd, york, pa) were notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 45,000.
The rear brakes are showing grooved rotors. also the back brakes are wearing quicker that the fronts . 7mmf . 5mmr. the mileage is 32000. i have a second car exactly the same except color. it has 16000 miles and the same problem is starting on it also. i believe honda is covering this up. they wouldn't investigate because i didn't have an ro number. i brought it back in to be checked and they wouldn't put "check rear brakes" on the ro. they said they always check the rear brakes and if there is no noise there is no problem. i was a licensed inspector years ago. i would never have passed a car with these rotors. see pics. perhaps it is from the parking brake recall? the rotors must have lost their temper from the brakes being applied by the parking brake problem.
This is my second complaint in a week. i had parked at a location 30 minutes from home for about an hour. went to start the car and it would not start. the brake seemed like it was already pushed down to the floor. a warning came across the screen that read brake system problem. i thought the battery was dead so i had it jumped and it started right away. this is ridiculous for a car that's 2 years old. i think i'll be getting rid of this car.
The vehicle was in motion on the highway and the brakes failed to apply as expected. this resulted in a rear end collision that fortunately didn't have any fatalities. the airbags also didn't deploy during the collision. the brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor, but instead of a response back and pressure coming back from the braking system, the braking pedal felt loose and the car instead of coming to a stop, continued to slowly decelerate. i've been driving the car for 2 years and my expectation was that the car should have come to a complete stop instead of just slowing down within the distance between my car and the car in front. there were also no skid marks on the pavement. i suspect the brakes failed and have contacted the manufacturer, the dealership and the insurance company in trying to get this looked into by someone that can come up with a report on the status of the brakes. unfortunately nobody cared so far, so as a last resource i'm reaching out to nhtsa for possible guidance or even a braking system car inspection.
