NHTSA Complaint #10925635 — 2016 HONDA CIVIC

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT THAT'S ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW (I HAVE THE COUPE) HAS A COVER WHICH KEEPS THE LIGHT DIRECTED OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND ATTACHES TO THE WINDOW. THE GLUE HOLDING IT TO THE WINDOW ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH, SO THE COVER HANGS DOWN, BLOCKING SOME OF THE REAR WINDOW, REDUCING VISIBILITY. ALSO, AT NIGHT THE LIGHT ITSELF WASHES OUT THE REAR WINDOW, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE BACK AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING 100% OF THE 2016 COUPES THAT HAVE EVER BEEN OUT ON A WARM DAY (HEAT MELTS THE GLUE), AND HONDA ISN'T FIXING IT. THEY'VE BEEN STRINGING US ALONG FOR 5 MONTHS NOW, PROMISING A FIX IN "A MONTH" OR "A COUPLE WEEKS", WITH NO RESOLUTION. LAST I HEARD, THEY SAID ON NOVEMBER 7TH THAT IT WOULD BE RELEASED IN 8-12 WEEKS. IT FEELS LIKE THEIR PLAN IS TO JUST KEEP THIS UP UNTIL PEOPLE SUPER GLUE THE CASING TO THE WINDOW THEMSELVES OR DECIDE BADGERING HONDA ABOUT IT ISN'T WORTH IT ANYMORE. PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THEIR PROBLEM.
