My 2016 honda civic touring while driving approx. 60 mph on the interstate in about 60 degree weather while raining. my sunroof exploded the center portion of it which in turn damaged my drunk and if someone was behind me could have had other catastrophic events. nothing hit my car i heard the explosion sounded like a gunshot then seen the big chunk of glass hit my trunk and heard it as well.
Over 12 different times in the past 6 months since i purchased the car it has had serious electrical issues ranging from locking itself with the keyless fob inside the vehicle during a snow storm, all windows including moon roof rolling completely down during a rainstorm when parked or in motion. when parked, the alarm blaring non stop for hours and the battery dying completely without warning or drainage on my part of any kind. all systems on the car shut down completely after loss of power including the braking system and you can dive it that way. it brakes hard on its own on the freeway. there is a usb port in the center console right next to cup holder that can get wet if you have a drink in there. i notice the weather conditions were cloudy, raining, or snowing during the majority of the bigger issues.
Faulty air conditioner system that has an extended warranty covering the compressor and refrigerant leaks.
I was driving straight down i-20, the only car close to me was behind me and in the other lane. there were no overpasses or potholes. there was a loud noise like a car backfire or gunshot, and i thought i must have blown a tire. i pulled over to the side of the road and discovered my moonroof had shattered - luckily the shield had been closed. honda refused to consider that it might be a defect and said that even if it was, it didn't matter as my car wasn't under warranty. i asked to speak to a manager several times and was refused.
I bought a honda civic 2016. i notice that my front led light maker does not work only left side work and it is about to go out too. sometime it goes on as its please. and air condition does not blow cold air . i hope they recall all these problems..
My 2016 honda civic only has less than 25000 miles, the ac had not working since this summer, after i took the car to schaumburg honda in illionis, they said the condenser is find but compressor has a leak which will cost over $1000 to be fixed. i decided not repair but still was charged $140 for the inspection. totally not acceptable!
I purchased a 2016 honda civic for my son in 2016. i received a notice about ac problems this year. i contacted my son and asked him if he had problems with the a/c. he reported that it doesn't blow very much air and the air never gets cold. so i had him take to dealership. he was told that the recall for a/c affected only one part of the unit which they could fix under no cost...but they said that there was a huge hole in the air compressor and this was not covered. they quoted over $2,000 to replace air compressor. i found this hard to believe and researched to find out what causes a hole in the compressor that makes it beyond repair and the only information i could find were others having the same problem with 2016 honda civic faulty air compressors. again when i tested it myself, it was not blowing cold air and sometimes not blowing air at all. since i purchased vehicle, it seems like system was not fully capable of defrosting windows in front and back and figured the design was bad.
I've had my car for less than a year and on three separate occasions it has failed to start. the first time it happened, i did a google search and saw that this was a common problem with the car. i found a youtube video that gave instructions on a possible remedy -- which included going under the hood of the car and finagling with the battery, etc. my husband tried this remedy and once my car started, i immediately took it to the dealership. at the dealership i was told that my battery was dead; they replaced the battery. months later, with my new battery, this happened again. my husband tried the remedy again but when i took it to the dealership i told him that they should look further into this issue because it is not just the battery. to me, it was some kind of electrical glitch. the dealership informed me that because they could not replicate the problem of the 'no-start', there was nothing they could do. at 6 months pregnant i told them that i was being left in a vulnerable position with a very unreliable vehicle. i told them that a google search would show that this was happening with many honda civics and that this must be a known issue. they said they would have a honda representative contact me and that never happened. i told myself that if this happened again, i would do nothing myself. i would get my car towed to the dealership. well, of course, it has happened again at 9 months pregnant. i had my car towed to the dealership because it again has not started. the car remains in accessory mode and the brakes and shift gear is locked. i truly think i have a lemon vehicle because this company is refusing to look further into this issue. to note, each time the car hasn't started, it has been after i've turned the car off and returned to it a short time later, either at home on the street or at work in the parking lot.
Vehicle touch screen turned green. cameras stopped working. screen beeps intermittently when handheld device is connected to the infotainment screen. will begin to work again aftet a few minutes pass.
Received a letter from honda about a/c condenser leaks. took it to the dealership, said that condenser is fine that is the compressor that is leaking. total job cost is over $1200. called honda, said that compressor is not covered in warranty extension.
Today i returned from honda of marin after having my starter replaced. the part # is 31200-5ba-a52. i would like to have this experience (part and service) to be reimbursed. this part should not have stopped work after a short period of time with the mileage of the vehicle at 63500.
Reports further allege that the malfunction in the civic a/c condensers, compressors create risks for damage to other components in the vehicles' systems and refrigerant leaking which is definitely not good for the environment.
The air conditioning blows hot air.
The air conditioning compressor stopped working. there was a leak in the compressor.
The air conditioning system in my car started to blow hot air on the driver's side while remaining cool on passenger side. i took it the dealer where i bought the car and was told that the condenser had a leak which was caused by a rock or rocks. i was told that although there is a 10 year warranty on the condenser it doesn't apply because the part didn't fail, it was due to road debris. this is despite the fact that the front of this model of honda is completely open under the bumper easily allowing small rocks and bugs to enter and be embedded in the condenser. i was told that the compressor "blew up" because it was still running with low freon and would not be covered either. this is despite the fact that the vehicle should have a low pressure switch which shuts off the compressor when there is low freon to prevent this type of damage. i was told the cost of repairs would be $1854. the service manager has not returned my multiple calls to discuss my concerns about the vehicle. i have had all of my service done at the dealership and when this started becoming an issue last year i would have thought honda would address it and let consumers know what steps could be taken to prevent the damage - if that is what caused the condenser to fail. as other complaintants have noted this is an issue for clearing the windshield in rainy weather, i have already experienced that problem and it is an issue in hot weather especially for people with disabilities affected by hot weather, the elderly and children. i can provide the dealer estimate and pictures of the car's front and condenser if that would be helpful.
I bought a 2016 honda civic brand new. it has 32000 miles on it. the ac quit working in september this year. summer temperatures reach well above 110 f in mesa, az. after spending one week in a rental car and 300 dollars, finally got my car back. my ac worked only for one month and now is blowing mostly hot air. i am very concerned that the dealer is going to say that my guarantee is expired this time. maybe a class action law suit is needed before a serious heat stroke kills somebody.
Ac component on my honda civic not working properly. this is an issue as i have done the research and seen that there are many with the same year and model as mine that are experiencing bad ac quality. my ac will be cold on the passenger side but hot on the driver side. i am looking to see if there is a recall since honda has been made aware of the issue and has now acknowledged it could be failure on their part. i bought my car used with only $35,000 miles, it worked find until it hit $38,000 and then it has started to get hot in the car.
My vehicles just past 3 year period and air conditioner is blowing hot air. took to dealer and they say low on feon and needed recharge because only seeing 120kg out of 420kg gas. must have leak somewhere.all my pervious car i had have no issue w/ lost of feon. something is going on and dealer is not telling me.
No cold air coming out with ac on. needed to replace a leaking ac compressor at 45,000 miles.
The ac compressor is not working, and leaking fluids which is bad for the environment. purchased vehicle and dealership "charged up" the compressor, 3 days later it was not working. took it back in and they filled it up again, 3 days later it stopped working. they cannot seem to find the issue, but there is an ac compressor failure in this model, which i unfortunately have.
A/c system became non functional at 41,000 miles. obviously just out of warranty. been reading all over the internet about the defective a/c system in the 2016 honda civic. i find it hard to believe that honda hasn't issued a recall or there hasn't been any class action lawsuits regarding this serious design flaw that honda is well aware of. since i owe less on this car than what the repairs will cost, i'm planning on trading it in for a 2020 hatchback version and hope that this defect has been corrected with the newer models.
Ac is faulty from the factory. from the time i bought the car in 2016, the ac has been making hissing noises that were rpm dependent. when i took it in under warranty, they charged the freon and it was back to how it was in the beginning. because it was blowing cold air, i thought the hissing noise was normal. but it started blowing hot air another year after it was fixed. this time, the dealership says a faulty condensor was the culprit, and the repair bill would be $1160. it turns out many other owners of this car also experienced this same issue, where dealers charged the freon without fixing the problem before warranty, but quickly find the condensor or compressor broken after the warranty for the same symptoms.
Touch screen panel that controls the entire settings of the car over heats and blocks out making it very uncomfortable and upsetting not being able to control your /c settings or your radio and your phone. we have taken our 2016 honda civic touring that same year back multiple times in regards to this issue. however every time we took it they would replace it. since then the touch screen panel has some what worked properly to the point where it was just slow in functioning but workable. this time on june 27, 2019 it has completly done the same thing we were facing in the beginning and this is stationary and in motion, i have tried resetting it by disconnecting the battery and joining cables together and it just didnt work it continues to not work properly since day of purchase.i would like for some one to help us resolve this issue and to replace our panel for a good working one.
My ac is not working properly one vent is more cooler than the vent that is on the driver side.
A/c started blowing hot air around 40,000 miles. took it to the dealer who refused to perform a diagnosis because the parts are on a national back order. this is very unsafe in the summer to drive a 7 year old and infant without a/c. i'm considering trading it in for something older and without this new a/c system.
Bought car december 22 2016 in june 2019 ac system broke down dealer says car is out of warranty we cant help you i believe this is unfair and honda financial wants me to continue pying for a vehicle that i believe is a lemon
2016 honda civic, air conditioning quit working causing the defroster not to work creating a dangerous visibility because the windshield remained foggy.
A/c stopped working after 55,000 miles and owning for 3 years. when discussed with the dealer, they advised that it was the air condenser that was faulty and needed to be replaced. standard lifetime for an air condenser is well beyond the 3 year timeframe. the dealer also advised that there have been numerous 2016 honda civic's in with the same issue but there is no recall. the cost to repair this issue was over $1,000 with my dealer and should not be occurring at this point in the car's life.
The air conditioning unit of my 2016 honda civic sedan failed to function normally after having worked profitably at the start of this summer season. replacing the fuses associated with the air conditioner's function did not yield in a change in performance. after having taken the vehicle to a dealership for service, it was found that the condenser of the civic was faulty. neither trauma nor damage was found by the service personnel. furthermore, they had indicated that this is quite a common complaint of this year's model. thank you for your time and for your consideration of this manufacturing issue.
Refrigerant leaking not good for the environment , while driving cool air just went off and it started blowing hot air.the car only has 86,000 miles
A/c does not work well. car blows warm air. vehicle has 32,900 miles.
Ac is not blowing cold air. my mechanic says that the ac compressor system is leaking and would need to be replaced. my car is at around 38000 miles and it has been less than 3 years since i bought it. this is completely unacceptable and absolutely unbearable during the summer.
The ac keeps going out. i have to have the compressor replace twice and 2 other parts replaced twice. the freon starts to blow out of the vents into the passenger compartment. this is dangerous i always have my kids with me. we always have infections that can be attributed to breathinng in this freon. every year it gets fixed in the summer. it works fine for oyr 2 summer months then i dont have to use it that often but as soon as the heat rolls up again i take it in for a check and it has no freon left.
Air conditioning system not functional (discovered may 2019). blows only hot air. 31-32k mileage on car (on may 2019). purchased car new in feb 2016. had noticed a decrease in cooling efficiency in summer of 2018, but didn't take car in for inspection, since i don't use a/c much. didn't need to use a/c again until may 2019. car was <4 months over 3 year warranty (but under 36k miles), so dealership where car was purchased refused to cover repair cost under warranty. was given repair estimate of $1,150, which was to cover cost of replacing a/c condenser, o-ring in discharge line, and new refrigerant re-charge. when driving in rainy, high humidity weather, windows more prone to fogging up because there's no cool air to blow on inside of window to clear condensation - because a/c system is non-functioning.
There was a failure of the ac condenser causing the need to replace the whole unit, as well as the sensor. the corporate honda representative even admitted on the phone that their dealerships have reported similar issues with the condensers on the civic models, including units delivered from the factor that had already failed. a simple search of credited automotive review sites shown many examples for this model year, where the ac units have failed. as the corporate office has failed to issues a voluntary recall for this issue, i ask that you look into this and protect the consumer. thank you.
Air conditioning system does not work. dealer wants $2,382.15 to replace a/c compressor w/ clutch and coil ($1500.26), condenser ($599.04), evacuate and recharge complete($159.95) filters and air cleaners ($122.90) , air ventalation system cleaning ($89.95). 2016 honda civic ex 70,491 miles. last year i brought the car to dealer and they vacuumed and refilled the system ($159.95). this year same problem, no cold air and now being told entire system is defective. i can not properly clear my front windshield because does not work properly because i don't have a/c .
A/c evaporator coil had bad weld. $1600 repair after evaporator coil replacement, evac, and refill of freon.
A/c has gone bad in less than 3 years of owning the vehicle and has been reported as a common issue in 10th generation honda civics.
I purchased this year after my 3 year lease was up. within months, the ac started blowing hot air. i found out (only by looking online) that there was a reported issue with the ac condensor. i called honda of america, they confirmed that if it was found to have an issue not due to damage, they would pay for the assessment ($150) and the replacement. i took it in, the honda dealer said yes, the condensor needed to be replaced, and would be under warranty, but also the compressor and front seal, for a total of near $2000. i called honda of america back, they called the dealer to confirm and simply informed me that yes, i'd have to pay. this extended warranty seems less like a way of acknowledging an issue with the vehicle, and more as a ploy to get recent buyers off lease to pay thousands of dollars to honda dealers. i've seen multitudes of people report online with this same issue, there should definitely be a recall or at least the extended warranty should cover the entire ac system.
In the summer of 2018, with the air conditioning system on, it was blowing warm air on the driver side while the passenger side discharging cold air. took the car to the dealer for inspection. the service department informed us there was a leak. a dye was added to the recharged refrigerant. early this month, april, the ac wasn't provided any cooling. took the car to the dealer and was informed that the ac compressor along with refrigerant piping was leaking and need to be replaced.
The a/c stopped working shortly after 3 years but luckily it was still covered under my certified honda warranty. took the car to the honda dealer and the technician said a/c problems are a common problem they see. check for leaks and recharged the system. it's been 3 months now and the a/c is starting to become ineffective again.
Car a/c just blowing warm/hot air, never gets cold and its been 100f with a heat index of 115f. car is just out of warranty. honda is refusing to admit there is a problem and will not recall despite all the complaints online and in forums.
Was driving to work on 1/26/2019 at about 11:30 am when i heard a very loud pop. i thought maybe i had blown a tire and turned down my music. i heard a lot of wind and after verifying that all of my windows were up i opened the visor to my sunroof to discover that my sunroof had exploded. when this occurred, there were no other vehicles surrounding me and i was not driving under an over pass, therefore i was not hit by any flying debris. once i was able to pull over it appeared that my sunroof had exploded in an outward fashion. as if someone had busted it out from the inside. there was also no glass that shattered down into my sunroof visor which further leads me to believe that i was not hit by debris. after doing some searching, it would seem that this is not an uncommon occurrence and there have been hundreds of instances of spontaneously exploding sunroofs in cars manufactured in the last couple years. very scary and dangerous. unfortunately this happened on a weekend so i will have to wait until monday to see if honda will repair the issue free of charge (as they should).
It has a break recall i didn't receive a notice or any acknowledgement from the dealership about this
Sunroof exploded. we were driving along on the highway at night in late november and heard a loud thud above us. the sunroof shade was closed thankfully because when i opened it to check, we realized that the glass had shattered.
Not sure if it's the battery or the battery sensor but my car when i want to turn it on it'll not turn on and it would just flash all the lights in the board and won't fully turn on.
Air conditioning system went out. blows warm air and makes hissing noises. it takes a very long time to defog the windshield reducing visibility while driving and making it uncomfortable to drive. the vehicle was in motion when the problem was first noticed. it takes over 10 minutes to defog the vehicle.
Air conditioning a/c has been not working for the last month or two. it started off blowing warm air on the drivers side and cool on the passenger side. after a few days it's warm on both sides now. this is an ongoing problem with other civic owners i know. this needs to be fixed by honda. i've had honda vehicles for plenty of years. accords, crv and other year civics. i'm ready to give it up, so much for reliability.
Backup camera will randomly go black during operation if shifted into reverse during headunit boot (immediately after vehicle cold start) and headunit resumes boot showing honda logo and driver warning screen instead of backup camera. has happened on multiple occasions. honda dealer was initially notified on 4/27/2018 but no resolution has been provided as of 11/30/2018. images uploaded document five (5) occurrences between 8/29/2018 and 10/10/2018, but has happened prior to and since. note in images that shift lever is in reverse but no backup camera view is shown on the display.
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.
