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and i had so many calls to get jumped because of this battery that i was told in june that my roadside assistance was revoked for a year!
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 honda civic. while the contact was pulling into his driveway, the front driver's air bag deployed without warning or impact. there were no injuries. the vehicle was taken to hall honda virginia beach (located at 3516 virginia beach blvd, virginia beach, va 23452, (877) 475-0724), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a case would be opened. the contact was not provided a case number. the approximate failure mileage was 33,256.
My daughter was driving my car and hit a pot hole on a 2 line highway, then the tire blew out causing all the side airbags and steering wheel air air bags to deploy. the car did not hit anything else nor was involved in a collision accident.
We were at a complete stop at the outer city street signaling to make a left and a car hit us from behind without breaking at 60 -70 speed and the airbags did not deploy. the back of the vehicle is smashed in and not one airbag went off. there were two adults (driver & passenger) and two children (backseat).
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.

Takata recall
Takata recall i bought vehicle in late sep 2016. dealer said recall was done. had minor accident nov. 2017, air bags did not deploy?? officer at scene thought that to be unusual.
On may 09, 2017 i was rear ended while sitting still by a car traveling approximately 45 mph and pushed into the car in front of me. i was wearing my seatbelt and my face was projected into the steering wheel. during the impact my seatbelt didn't seem to activate and not one airbag deployed. my vehicle has not been inspected yet but i would guess it to be totaled due to the front and rear impact damage. everyone i've spoke to including the police officer and wrecker service was very surprised that the airbags didn't deploy. i feel very lucky but do not trust this vehicle and it's safety features.
Takata recall i received postal mail about a recall pending on my vehicle that was to be completed in fall 2016. it is now january/winter 2017 and there has been no update. i am concerned about driving my car when it has a potential grenade embedded in the steering wheel in front of my face and chest. *tr
A " check airbag system" message as i am driving the vehicle. the message occurs after about 2 minutes. *tr
Airbag advisory light is intermittent with or without a passenger sitting on the passenger seat while the car is moving or while the car is on running at idle. the happens everyday.
