2016 HONDA CIVIC Visibilitywiper Problems

My A/C system experienced a total failure at around 79,000 miles. I took the vehicle to a service center, and they confirmed the failure is the A/C Evaporator. This component is now broken and available for inspection upon request. This evaporator failure is an extremely common, widely reported issue across this generation of vehicles and is almost certainly due to a manufacturing defect. The failure creates two major safety risks: First, the loss of defrost capability causes the windshield to fog up immediately in rain or humidity, which completely blocks the driver's view. Second, the extreme interior heat caused by the lack of A/C creates severe driver fatigue and distraction, which impairs safe operation of the vehicle. This issue has been confirmed by the dealership, and there were no warning lights.

The evaporator core is leaking, which is causing reduced visibablility out of the windows due to condensation on the windows, mold-like smells from moisture from the interior cabin (it is available upon request). I took it into the dealer - they examined the issue (the shaft seal had just been replaced in April of this year) and let me know that this time the evaporator core was leaking. For context and why I bring it to the attention of the NHTSA is in early to mid-August of this year my AC not only took an extended time to get cool, it only got cooler, and not cold. Unfortunately, I am now well acclimated to the signs of a faltering air conditioning system after dealing with three like episodes on the same vehicle, occurring within 2 to 3 years of each other (the car isn’t even nine years old). In fact,...

unknown got on wrong highway because wippers malfunction in heavy rain

Ice builds up on windshield while snowing. Wipers build up ice and stick to windsheild

The day i bought this car the ac went out. I had to go back to dealer the next morning. I later on learned They just fiddled with it to make it work temporarily. By the next summer ac went out again, this time defrosters didn't work, heater didn't work, ac obviously didn't work. And ive Been dealing with it like this for over 2 years. Honda is not helping at all.

The ac blows hot on drivers side causing the driver to sweat and lose grip of steering wheel. This is a known issue of faulty ac systems in this year of civics.

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.

AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AFTER 37,000 MILES. WITHOUT THE AC, IT HURTS VISIBILITY (COULD NOT DEFOG THE CAR WINDOWS) WHEN RAINING OR LIVING IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE IN HOTTER CLIMATES. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH REAR BACKUP CAMERA NOT WORKING UPON STARTUP INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WINDSHIELD DEFROST SYSTEM FAILED, AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO BE UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IDE HONDA 875 PANORAMA TRL S, ROCHESTER, NY 14625 PHONE NUMBER (585) 586-2820 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR FAILED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CONDENSER THAT WAS ALLOWING THE FREON TO ESCAPE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.*DT *DT*JB

AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL JAN. 2019. AC STOPPED WORKING BY JUNE, 2020. CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, BUT WAS ON BACK-ORDER. OVER 5 WEEKS LATER, CONDENSER WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2020, BUT DEALER REPORTED COMPRESSOR WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $1,200. HONDA REFUSES TO COVER MORE THAN 30% OF THAT COST, ACCORDING TO BOTH A REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND A HONDA OF AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE. THE COMPRESSOR IS ON BACK-ORDER, INDICATING THAT A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPRESSORS ARE FAILING. ALL THE ABOVE WORK AND DIAGNOSIS WERE PERFORMED BY HONDA DEALER THE AUTOMASTER, SHELBURNE, VT. THE CAR HAS UNDER 33,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE APPEARS TO BE A CLASS ACTION FOR THIS ISSUE, INITIATED IN CALIFORNIA, CASE 2:19-CV-10537, FILED DEC. 2019, US DISTRICT COURT FOR CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. HAVING NO AC IS A SAFETY ISSUE...

SMALL ROCK HIT LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD AND MADE A VERY SMALL NICK ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK FRIDAY AND UPON GETTING MY CAR READY SUNDAY EVENING FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY WE NOTICED A CRACK. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THIS INITIATED WHERE THAT ROCK HIT AND AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE I REALIZE I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS. THE WINDSHIELD OF THE HONDA 2016 AND NEWER IS GARBAGE. IT IS WEAK AND UNSAFE. THAT SMALL CRACK FROM SUNDAY HAS NOW REACHED HALFWAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR FEAR OF IT CAVING IN. WHY HASN'T HONDA ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE? IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS! THE CRACK IS GROWING AT AN INCREDIBLY AND TERRIFYING RATE THAT IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE. THE FIRST PICTURE WAS AT 7AM, THE SECOND AT 5PM, AND THE THIRD...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 30 AT 70 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION. I PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE TO CHECK MY TIRES AND FINALLY REALIZED THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS NOT RAINING, THERE WAS NOT A DUMP TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME, I WAS NOT ON MY PHONE OR DISTRACTED, I WAS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF THE BLUE. THERE WAS NO POINT OF IMPACT BELOW THE GLASS INSERT, BUT THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES.

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...

AC EXPANSION VALVE FAILED PREMATURELY (BEFORE 50,000 MI) BUT OUTSIDE OF FACTORY WARRANTY. CAUSES AC TO BE INOPERATIVE AND WINDOWS TO FOG UP AND IMPAIR VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY IN VERY HUMID WEATHER. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE AMBIENT TEMPERATURES IN TX AND THE SOUTH CAN EASILY REACH 100+ BEFORE ANY EFFECTS OF THE SUN OR HUMIDITY.

2016 HONDA CIVIC, AIR CONDITIONING QUIT WORKING CAUSING THE DEFROSTER NOT TO WORK CREATING A DANGEROUS VISIBILITY BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD REMAINED FOGGY.

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.

FUEL IS LEAKING INTO THE OIL. THE DEALER JUST SUGGESTED CHANGING THE OIL MORE OFTEN. I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT BUT WHAT CAN I DO? THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE....ONE DAY MY PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK FROM MY CONTROL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. FINALLY IT DID--THIS WAS WHEN PARKED. THEY REPLACED ONCE AND THEN "UPDATED" THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ONCE BECAUSE OF VERY DISRUPTIVE THINGS THAT HAPPEN ON THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING. ONCE (THIS WAS PARKED) IT TOTALLY LOCKED UP MY IPHONE SO THAT I COULD NOT USE IT EVEN AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF (I WAS PARKED AND HAD TURNED THE CAR ON ) AND REBOOTED MY PHONE! ONCE I GOT LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR AFTER OPENING THE TRUNK AND CLOSING IT...MY FOB WOULD NOT WORK AND WHEN I USED THE KEY, IT SET OFF THE ALARM, FLASHED THE LIGHTS AND RESET ALL MY PERSONAL...

THE GLASS ON THE 2016 HONDA CIVIC SEEMS TO BE QUITE WEAK. THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT ON THE WINDSHIELD RESULTS IN A TOTAL LOSS AND REPLACEMENT.

THE AC COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE BOTH LEAKING. ONE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO TELL ME THEY WERE LEAKING BECAUSE A ROCK HIT IT AND CAUSED THE DAMAGE, AND IT COSTS $600 TO FIX. BUT UPON PROPER DIAGNOSIS FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, THEY DID TELL ME BOTH THE COMPRESSOR AND CONDENSER ARE LEAKING, AND IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE KNOWN ISSUES THAT PEOPLE HAVE LISTED ONLINE. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH GOOD WILL. THEY SAID THEY WERE WILLING TO PAY 50/50, WHICH LEAVES ME TO PAY $842 BEFORE TAXES TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER SOLUTION. THIS IS UNSAFE THAT ALL OF THESE CARS HAVING LEAKING CONDENSERS AND COMPRESSORS AND IT IS A SCAM TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY ANYTHING TO FIX AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN...

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PRIVATE LOT DIRECTLY OUTSIDE MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I WORK IN A REMOTE LOCATION WITH LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC EXCEPT FOR EMPLOYEES ENTERING/LEAVING THE BUILDING. IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING, I AUTO-STARTED THE CAR CAUSE IT HAD BEEN RAINING EARLIER IN THE DAY, WENT OUTSIDE, ENTERED THE VEHICLE, SHUT THE DOOR, AND IMMEDIATELY I HEARD GLASS FALLING. I LOOKED IN THE BACK SEAT AND SAW THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED FROM EDGE TO EDGE, ALL PARTS OF THE GLASS WAS BROKEN INTO SMALL SHARDS. IT SCARED ME CAUSE THE GLASS WAS FINE IN THE MORNING. I LOOKED AROUND AND NO OBJECTS WERE PRESENT TO DRAW A CONCLUSION THAT THE WINDOW HAD BEEN STRUCK. CALLED THE POLICE, BUT IT WASN'T AN EMERGENCY SO THEY DID NOT COME TO TAKE A REPORT. THE VEHICLE IS A LEASE WITH WARRANTY, SO I OPENED A CASE...

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A LARGE BANG SOUND LOOKED IN MY REVIEW AND SAW A DARK FLAT OBJECT PASSING. THIS OBJECT WAS A CENTER PORTION OF THE SUNROOF GLASS. I DID NOT HIT ANY BUMPS OR HAVE ANYTHING FALL OR STRIKE THE VEHICLE. WEATHER WAS 55F AND SUNNY. VERY FEW GLASS PIECES FELL ONTO THE INTERIOR VISOR AND THE GLASS STILL INTACT APPEARS TO BE PUSHED UP SLIGHTLY INDICATING THAT NOTHING STRUCK THE GLASS TO PUSH DEBRIS DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AROUND 8:20 AM ON 8 JAN 2018 WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED IN MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 43 DEGREES (THE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT BELOW FREEZING THE NIGHT BEFORE). I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY AROUND ME. I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING HIT THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE SUNROOF WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE (I.E., VIBRATION, CRACKING SOUNDS). THE GLASS, FOR THE MOST PART, BLEW OUT OF THE CAR, BUT THERE WAS SOME THAT FELL INTO THE CAR ON TOP OF ME. THE SOUND WAS SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT -- QUITE STARTLING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP.

CRACK IN WINDSHIELD 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR FROM DEALER. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURE OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. REPLACED, AND ONE YEAR LATER, REPLACEMENT GLASS HAS CRACK. REPLACED AND TWO MONTHS LATER, GLASS CRACKS AFTER HIT WITH DEBRIS FROM FREEWAY. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR? DOES THIS FALL INTO THE "LEMON LAW?"

MY CAR WINDSHIELD WAS WAVY AND MANUFACTURER DEFECTED, SO I GOT WARRANTY REPLACEMENT, BUT EVEN THE REPLACEMET HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND EVEN MOR SPOTS IS WAVY, AND DEALER KEEP TELLING THIS IS NORMAL DUE TO "MANY WINDSHIELD IS THE SAME AS YOURS".

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE TOO WEAK TO HANDLE A MEDIUM TO HARD RAIN STORM. I WAS CAUGHT IN A BAD STORM WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON FULL SETTING BUT STILL NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW SAFE VISIBILITY. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE.

SIR/MA'AM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS SOMEWHAT SAFETY PROBLEM THAT MANY CIVIC HAVE. HONDA CIVIC HAS A CENTER TOUCH SCREEN THAT CONTROLS RADIO, TEMPERATURE AND IMPORTANTLY SHOWS REAR VIEW CAMERA AND RIGHT SIDE CAMERA. TODAY THE CENTER SCREEN DIDN'T EVEN TURN ON AND WASN'T ABLE TO SEE AN OBJECT REAR AND UNDERNEATH OF MY CAR DUE TO THE SCREEN NOT TURNED ON. IT IS KNOWN ISSUE FOR CIVIC COMMUNITY. I WISH THAT NHTSA TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUES.

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...

THE COVER FOR THE REVERSE LIGHT, REAR WINDOW, OF THE 2016 CIVIC HAS DROPPED AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TRYING TO GET AMERICAN HONDA TO CORRECT, STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE COVER CAN'T BE REMOVED AS THE REVERSE LIGHT IS TOO BRIGHT AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW AT NIGHT. DURING THE DAY, THE COVER OBSCURES OBJECTS/CARS IN THE REAR VIEW WINDOW.

COVER FOR CENTER BRAKE LIGHT KEEPS COMING LOOSE, OBSCURING REAR WINDOW AND FLOODING INTERIOR WITH RED LIGHT WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED AT NIGHT. KNOWN ISSUE, BUT DEALERS DO NOT HAVE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PERMANENTLY FIX IT.

THE HIGH-MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT COVER, MOUNTED ON THE REAR WINDOW, HAS DETACHED ITSELF FROM THE WINDOW. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE PLASTIC COVER BLOCKING IMPORTANT VISUAL INFORMATION FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. IN ADDITION, RED LIGHT FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE REAR WINDOW, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. I REPORT THIS TO THE DEALER (ROBERTS HONDA IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA) WHO SAID THAT "ALL CIVIC COUPES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, HONDA AMERICA IS AWARE, BUT HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX"

ITS BEEN 4 MONTHS NOW THAT THE 3RD LIGHT BRAKE IN MY CAR STILL PENDING RESOLUTION. IT BLOCKS MY REAR VIEW AS IT IS HANGING 3 INCHES DOWN WITH THIS BLACK SQUARE 5 X 5 X 5 TO COVER TH LIGHT. I CAN'T DRIVER THIS CAR IN THE NIGHT BECAUSE ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVER IT DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE BOX. I AM STILL WAITING FOR FOR HONDA TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM

DRIVING ON I-5. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, I HEARD A POP AND THE GLASS FROM MY SUNROOF WAS FALLING ON ME. I DID NOT SEE ANY ROCKS OR OBJECTS HIT MY VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING FAIRLY SLOW. NO SEMI TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME. DEALERSHIP SAID A ROCK MUST OF HIT MY SUNROOF BUT NOTHING FOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED A RED GLARE THAT IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING FEEL OFF THE SAME DAY THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT NIGHT, THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW LIGHTS UP WHEN I BRAKE. THIS IS A BLINDING AND DISTRACTING LIGHT THAT PREVENTS ME FROM SEEING OUT OF MY BACK WINDOW. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THIS AS PER INSTRUCTIONS FROM HONDA.

BLACK BOX HOLDING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT IS FALLING AND BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW . IT IS DOWN BY 3 INCHES AND THRE'S LIMITED VISIVILITY WHEN LOOKING AT THE REAR OF THE CAR AS THIS BOX IS BLOCKING THE VIEW. WEST COVINA NORM REEVES DON'T HAVE ANYMORE OPTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE USED VELCRO AND TAPE AND DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER THIS 4X4X4X4 BLACK BOX IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESP. IN THE NIGHT WHERE YOU DONT HAVE FULL VIEW AT THE REAR OF THE CAR. NO OPTION TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO CONTACT ME IF THERES ANY SOLUTION. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT WITH 26 MILES ON IT HONDA COUPE 2016.

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT COVER WILL NOT STAY UP. THIS CAUSES A VISIBILITY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN RAIN, AS THE REFLECTION FROM THE RED LIGHT COVERS THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND REFLECTS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS. YOU CANNOT SEE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TEMP IS HOT OR NOT. LEASED IN OHIO END OF JUNE AND WAS LIKE THAT THEN, AS WERE ALL COUPES ON LOT. DEALER SAID THEY COULD GLUE IN OHIO. CALLED ANOTHER DEALER HE SAID NOT TO DO THAT, WOULD VOID WARRANTY. CAR NOW WITH SON AT COLLEGE IN FLORIDA. CALLED DEALER THERE, KNEW NOTHING. THIS IS A HAZARD DRIVING AND I WANT IT DOCUMENTED, AS PRETTY MUCH ALL OTHER 2016 HONDA COUPE OWNERS DO, THAT IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT, THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS AT HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ABOUT. THERE IS A FORUM THAT HAS PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND...

UNBELIEVABLE WEAKEN WINDSHIELD!!!

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT CAME CAME LOOSE SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE DEALER LOT AND PERSISTED AFTER ATTEMPTING A FIX. DEALER REPLACED THE ADHESIVE AND IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING LOOSE SEVERELY AFFECTS VISIBILITY THROUGH REAR WINDSHIELD. BRAKING AT NIGHT ILLUMINATES THE ENTIRE REAR WINDSHIELD AND SEVERELY OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW. DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A RECALL.

REAR BRAKE LIGHT HANGS DOWN REAR WINDOW, COVERING ALMOST 50% VISIBILITY. WORSENED VISIBILITY AT NIGHT DUE TO THE WHOLE REAR WINDOW BEING LIT UP RED WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER, THEY CLAIM THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE, REFUSE TO OFFER ANY TYPE OF REMEDY FOR THE ISSUE.

THE REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME UNDONE, IT BOUNCES AROUND AND OBSTRUCTS THE REAR VIEW. IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN HOW SUCH A SMALL PART COULD BLOCK THE VIEW UNLESS YOU ENCOUNTER THIS FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SLIGHT DOWN GRADE WHERE IT CAN OBSTRUCT THE ENTIRE HIGHWAY BEHIND YOU. ONCE AGAIN, HARD TO EXPLAIN UNLESS YOU LIVE IN A HILLY AREA AND EXPERIENCE THIS. DURING THE NIGHT THE REAR WINDOW IS FLOODED WITH RED LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS AN ENTIRE WEBSITE RELATED TO JUST THIS ISSUE. 7/26/2016 - JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DEALER WHERE THEY "FIXED IT WITH ANOTHER PART" - THIS DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER BEFORE IT WAS BOUNCING AROUND AGAIN - AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS CORRECTLY WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PART.

THIRD BRAKE COVER OFF, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOW CAN NOT BE PERMANENTLY REPAIRED, WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE ENTIRE GLASS IS RED . WIPERS CAN NOT CLEAN THE WINDSCREEN .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE REAR INTERIOR BRAKE LIGHT COVER DETACHED AND OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COVER NEEDED TO BE RE-ATTACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

NEW HONDA CIVIC WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED AND CONTINUES SPREADING. NO REPLACEMENTS AVAILABLE IN AMERICA.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE BOTTOM DRIVERS PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD, THUS PUTTING A SMALL DING IN THE GLASS, HOWEVER WITHIN 4 HOURS I HAD A CRACK 28 INCHES LONG, I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFE N HAVE HAD THINGS HIT MY WINDSHIELD AND IT NEVER CAUSED A CRACK. AFTER REVIEWING THE CONSUMERS AFFAIR WEB SITE I NOTICED THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE ME, AND EASILY CRACKED WINDSHIELD ON THERE 2016 CIVIC BEFORE THEY HAVE EVEN MADE THERE FIRST CAR PAYMENT, AND THE FACT THAT THERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER SO WHETHER IT OBSTRUCTS YOUR VIEW OR NOT YOU CAN'T EVEN GET A REPLACEMENT YET, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE CUT CORNERS IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THERE GLASS OR NOT BUT I BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN MORE THEN A LITTLE PEBBLE BEFORE THEY CRACK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER REFILLING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID RESERVOIR, FLUID WAS DISCOVERED LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY TWO DAYS AFTER BEING REFILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
