The paint on my civic is peeling around the rear window. The peeling is noticeable, growing, and not a function of neglect or abuse. It's like the paint was not properly applied or there is some manufacturer error that is causing the problem. The paint color is cosmic blue. It is only peeling in one spot.

My 2016 honda civic ex-t was purchased brand new on 2016. In less than 40,000 miles, my air conditioning unit blows hot air. It is currently in the shop replacing the ac unit. They said there was a leak and i am sure refrigerant is not a safe chemical to be leaking out in the environment.

Vehicle was involved in a front end/side collision. When told by collision shop the vehicle was finished and upon coming in to pick up the vehicle, obvious structural damage remained untouched, and unrepaired engine damage was obvious. Collision shop and insurance company insisted vehicle repairs were complete and fought me to take the vehicle to the honda dealership for diagnostic. When the vehicle was finally…

Paint peeling at bottom of left front bumper. Car is garaged. Problem noticed 2/7/18. I can slide my nail under the paint & continue to pee it. Car to be seen at honda dealer 3/12/18 & photo of area of peel to be photographed & sent to appropriate honda department for review. This is definitely a manufacturing deficit!

There is a dent on my car's rear upper quarter panel (c-pillar crease) on the driver's side. This dent is present on all 2016 and 2017 civic sedan cars' either on driver's side or passenger's side. Honda dealer didn't accept this as a manufacturing defect and they refused to fix it. Additionally, there is no official explanation from honda about the issue. I suspect that it's a safety issue. This dent problem exists…

Trunk spontaneously opens. It hasn't happened while driving. I have taken it to the dealer, contacted honda's headquarters. They are unable to reproduce the issue so cannot fix it. There are others on the civic online forum who are experiencing this issue. This is a security issue where i cannot keep anything in my trunk. This is not right. One night after i got home, i went back out to my car and the trunk was…

The honda civic was in the driveway with the emergency brake set when it was parked. The vehicle has a manual transmission. A few hours later the car alarm was going off and when i went to look to see what was going on i discovered that the car had rolled down the drive and into a telephone pole. The police in my jurisdiction do not take accident reports for accidents on private property therefore a police report…

Following my wife after a recall on her car, it began to rain lightly. Knowing we were entering a 75mph turnpike, i phoned her to advise her to turn on her lights. She did. At the stop light before getting on the turnpike, all i could see were 2 tiny led bulb types on both sides. As she began to reach speed, she got 10-15 car lengths ahead of me. We knew the factory spoiler causes a vortex behind her car as we wipe…

American honda is the most fraudulent company i ever dealt with. Within the 1st year, a serious problem developed with the trunk, which randomly opens for no reason, sometimes overnight, sometimes while driving on the highway, which is incredibly dangerous. We took the car 2x to the delray beach dealer , & it claimed itcouldn't identify or replicate the problem, & then that they fixed it. They did nothing & the…
