    I bought my car in april 2016 and in september 2016 i complained about the ac blowing hot air. Honda told me they found nothing. I received a letter from honda november 2019, that there were issues with the condenser. Assuming this was the problem i took it so they can take a look at it. Because it was a leaky compressor and not the condenser, i had to pay $150 for diagnostics. From other complaints i have read…

    At a certain freeway speed 60+ mph with the combination of a particular incline of the roadway the back end of the vehicle starts to slightly fishtail which leads to instability in controlling the vehicle. This fishtailing action takes place at the downward travel on the inclining road. We have tested this phenomenon several times and each time when the vehicle reaches that certain speed and certain roadway incline…

    My wife gets 'sick' after riding in said car. We suspect that the car is emitting volatile organic compounds (vocs) to which she is sensitive. This has been an ongoing phenomenon since we purchased the car in august 2016 (it is now february 2017).

    The cover for the third brake light on the rear window does not stay attached to my 2016 civic coupe. I believe it's going to cause a safety issue when it limits my visibility in rear view mirror. I bring my new car back to the dealer four time so far for the same problem and still not fix. Their service department replace the third brake light cover but the new part does not stay attached either. I strongly believe…

    Certain honda civic's have apple's carplay installed, through the ios iphone mobile phone platform. When enabled, or plugged into the car, navigation support provided by apple's maps application goes into 'day mode' while at night. This creates a huge amount of brightness in the car and blinds the driver with brightness. There is no fix for this problem and i can easily see how accidents can be triggered due to…

    The trunk and glove compartment do not lock...their is no way to safely valet park the vehicle and leave anything in the trunk or the glove compartment. This may not be a driving safety issue but it is a safety issue non the less. Honda must have lost their minds when they redesigned the vehicle. It makes absolutely no sense not be able to lock the trunk.

    Audio system is not properly initializing about 80% of the time you start the car. While much of this is simply inconvenient (no sound for the radio) it affects safety as there is no sound for the built in gps forcing you to look at the gps for navigational prompts versus audio prompts and the bluetooth system does not function so during incoming or outcoming calls instead of using bluetooth hands free you must pick…
