    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…

    Wiper blades makes loud rubbing noise, because wiper arms are pressed very hard against windshield causing friction between the blades and windshield. I installed new wipers from sam's club, still loud noise is not going away. This problem existed ever since i bought brand new civic in 2010, but due to light usage mostly in dry days, i ignored this problem. I feel car is unsafe to drive in rain or snow due to poorly…

    I was driving down i45 at about 70mph when i heard a really loud pop. Confused, i was looking in all my mirrors trying to find out what happened, as i knew i didn't hit anything or feel anything. I hear loud wind noises, and open my sunroof shade to find 90 % of my sunroof had exploded up and out onto the freeway. Nothing hit my sunroof. I wasn't driving behind anyone for at least a 1/4 mile. I didn't drive under an…

    The front windshield easily gets chipped and cracked from kicked up debris from other vehicles. Driving, i have received 3 cracks in my windshield that have splintered badly. These incidents happen during driving on a paved road that has 2 lanes going the same direction. Debris was kicked up from other vehicles driving in front of me. I have owned many cars in the past and have never had a problem of this magnitude.

    In 2012 i purchased a 2010 honda civic ex coupe. I started having issues with the sun visors breaking. At first my warranty covered the cost and then out of pocket expense of $150.00 each time i had to replace. The issue is the safety of not being able to see in the sun light or the evening, due to the broken sun visors dangling in my line of sight. Enclosed are pictures of the broken sun visors pass and present. I…

    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.
