Fortunately a tow truck driver was passing by and saw us on the side of the road and stopped to help us. Just to give some…

I have a brand new 2016 civic 1.5t ex-l with 1,000 miles and a cracked engine block. We noticed the engine oil all over our garage. It's been leaking for a while, probably since we got it, but we didn't realize until today that the oil was coming from our brand new car. After our own investigation, we ruled out all of our other cars and took it into dealership today.

Bought this car brand new off the lot. When car is started, it randomly makes a mechanical grinding noise. It is getting worse with time and beginning to happen more often. I've taken it to honda multiple times and they have even replaced the starter with no solution. They tell me they have no idea how to fix it and to wait for a recall. Car is beginning to idle high and jerk back and forth while accelerating in…

Every since the repair of the recall the engine pulls not even an hour after the pick up the car had to go back in the shop for belt repair. It makes noises as if something is loose . I've called several times to speak with patrick never to get a call back. The care is in motion. The smart connection doesn't work it stop recognizing any device

I also found out that honda sent a stop sale notice to all dealers on february 2nd however; my 2016 civic car was sold to me…

Took delivery of 2016 honda civic 1 1/2 weeks ago. Currently 350 miles. Contacted american honda today in regards to piston snap ring recall. Currently honda has no fix for vehicles affected. Would like for honda to provide alternative transportation until engine can be repaired/replaced or buy the vehicle back since dealers have been forced to stop selling 2016 civics. I do not feel safe driving brand new car any…

I purchased the new car on 11/30/2015. Since then, it has been driven 22 miles. I learned of recall on 2/9/16 on news. I was not contacted by dealer or honda about it. I contacted dealer on 2/11/16 who in turn contacted honda. Being a new car with only 22 miles on it (3 trips--the first being the drive home from the dealership), i requested a replacement. I believe this is more than reasonable.. Honda refused. I was…

The 2016 civics with 2.0 liter motors have and been put on a "stop sale" are going to be recalled due to the possibility of engine failure, damage, and even possibility of engine compartment fires due to possibly having faulty piston snap rings. I bought one a week before this "stop sale" and i am apparently going to be forced to drive a vehicle that may have a potentially life threatening defect until they fix it…

I was sold a honda civic two days after the stop sale was issued by honda. It would seem the dealer is negligent and should be responsible. Honda is going to open these new engines? It would seem the whole car should be recalled.

Piston clip ring recall from honda with no fix until mid-march as told by honda customer service. Recall not publicly released by honda at this time. The result of this part failure is engine failure, and/or stalling. It is unsafe to drive this vehicle with such looming and unresolved issues.

I was sold a 2016 honda civic on the day (january 29, 2016) that american honda notified nhtsa of a 'stop-sale' and i am forced to drive a vehicle that may have a potentially life threatening defect until they fix it. Honda was aware of the problem, and i should not have been sold a vehicle with a safety concern as great as engine failure.
