2016 Honda Civic Electrical System

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Honda Civic in October 2024. The contact stated that while attempting to trade the vehicle at the dealer, the Carfax Report indicated a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. The contact stated that at the time of purchase, the odometer reading was 109,000; however, the Carfax Report indicated that the mileage was 172,000 in 2023.

My manual key…it wasn’t program. I just found out when my battery died and we won’t able to open the door manually. And when I told the dealer where I bought it, they were charging me to program it. And it cost a lot, so, I didn’t had it done. Then, just two days ago, my car won’t start again. I just got a new battery from AAA. So, I have to call them again and re check it. The battery was fine. So, the AAA employee asked me to call you or email you. Coz prolly I have a recall problem with my car. Honda Civic 2016 Sedan. I always have this problem with the battery and the manual key.

Failed body control module known issue with Honda for years. wants to stick consumer with $1300 repair bill so car can be drive able again.

After a year of purchasing the 2016 Honda Civic with 5 miles on it the Bluetooth connection stopped working.

2016 Honda Civic sport- push start ignition can turn engine power off when parking without the operator knowing, or receiving sufficient warning that the automatic transmition is still in drive or neutral. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. Yesterday, my husband parked our 2016 Civic after a trip to the store. He was unaware that the had not placed the vehicle in park, as he was able to turn off engine and exit the car without sufficient safety warning. He took an item from the trunk, closed it, walked down the street and into the house. A few minutes later our neighbor got an alert on her security camera. Our unoccupied car is seen in the video rolling forward, down the hill, before crashing into shrubs and trees at bottom. When we got up to the car, my husband unlocked it and climbed in through passenger seat, to find it was still in drive, but was not running.This could have seriously injured or killed a child or anyone else if they had been standing in its path.Thankfully, it didn't roll into a child or one of our neighbors. No one was injured, though they certainly could have been. The car does have damage, but that can be fixed. We have not taken it to the dealer yet, but I am contacting them now. We have not contacted our insurance company yet. But we will be submitting the photos and videos with the claim. My husband said there was not a warning light on the dash and he did not observe any indication that the car was still in gear or he would not have gotten out of the car. The car gives a warning light if you leave your lights on, when you are approaching a service interval, low fuel or change in tire pressure, low battery life, and a dozen other things. He has had the car for more than five years so he is very familiar with it. It is serviced on time, and our mechanic does annual inspections every year. We will test it again tonight to see if we can duplicate it, but with a driver inside to apply the break if it rolls.

WENT TO START MY CAR AFTER 8 HOURS OF WORK AND THE BATTERY IS DEAD. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS CHALKY CORROSION. I DON'T LIVE NEAR A BEACH FOR IT TO HAVE THIS MUCH CORROSION NOR DO I KNOW IF THAT'S WHY THE BATTERY IS ACTUALLY DYING. CAR HAS DONE THIS TO ME 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLANK AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS SPINNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARBONE HONDA OF YORKVILLE (5009 COMMERCIAL DR, YORKVILLE, NY 13495, WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

PRIMARY DISPLAY FAILED, REMOVING ABILITY TO SEE BACKUP CAMERA AND RIGHT TURN OR RIGHT SIDE BLINDSPOT CAMERA. SECONDARY IMPACT TO CLIMATE CONTROL AND OTHER VEHICLE FUNCTIONS BUT SAFETY ISSUE WITH AN INABILITY TO SEE THE BACKUP CAMERA ON THE DISPLAY IS PRIMARY CONCERN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED, BUT IT AFFECTS SAFE OPERATION WHEN BACKING OR MAKING RIGHT TURNS OR LANE CHANGES TO THE RIGHT.

SYSTEM THROWS CODES NON STOP RECENTLY ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT EMISSION LIGHT SAYING TRANS AND ECU AREN'T ON SAME PROGRAM. EVERY TIME I TAKE TO HONDA THEY WANNA BLAME THE OWNER. I GO THERE WITH TONS OF DOCUMENTS ABOUT HOW OTHERS HAVING SAME ISSUES BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, I'M TOLD I HAVE TO PAY IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THAT'S WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BWT. THEY WILL COME UP WITH EVERY EXCUSE NOT TO HELP YOU, HONDA IS PUTTING A LOT OF DRIVERS IN DANGER BY NOT FIXING THESE SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS . I WORK FOR A HONDA DEALERSHIP I KNOW WHAT AND HOW MECHANICS ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP VANCOUVER, WA IN 2016. RECENTLY, THE CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED AND REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I WENT IN AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND FOUND SECURITY CODES RELATING TO HOOD SWITCH IN THE SECURITY HISTORY. THEY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE HOOD LATCH/SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND RECHECK. ANOTHER PERSON I SPOKE WITH, THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, CLAIMED THAT REPLACING THE HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I ASKED ABOUT MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY SINCE THIS ITEM ISN'T COVERED BY DEALERSHIP WARRANTY OF 3 YRS/36K MILES. THE DEFECT IS FROM A PART THAT IS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND FALLS UNDER MANUFACTURING ERROR AND NOT A WEARABLE PART THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY OR SOMETHING THAT FATIGUES OVER TIME. I WROTE HONDA REGARDING THIS. IN THE MEANTIME, I CANNOT USE MY SECURITY SYSTEM, THAT I PAID FOR ON THE VEHICLE, DUE TO IT POSSIBLY DRAINING MY NEW BATTERY. HONDA (REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER) STATED, OVER THE PHONE, THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT AND THAT IT FALLS UNDER THEIR WARRANTY OF PARTS. THIS ISSUE IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE THE SENSOR FOR THE CAR ALARM TRIPS ITSELF ELECTRONICALLY WHEN THE HOOD IS SHUT. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE AND/OR GREATER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR OTHERS. ADDITIONALLY, I DRIVE FOR RIDESHARE AND THIS PUTS RISK TO MY CLIENTS AS WELL. THE ALARM SOUNDS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED AND ALARM SET WHILE PARKED. IT OCCURS EVERY FEW HOURS AFTER ALARM IS SET. AFTER INSPECTING THE HOOD MYSELF, I COULD SEE NO DAMAGE TO THE HOOD LATCH AND WOULD NOT NEED A REPLACEMENT HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY. THIS ISSUE IS ONE OF ELECTRONIC NATURE, INVOLVING THE CAR ALARM SENSOR ON HOOD LATCH, SECURITY SYSTEM, AND THE ELECTRONIC CAR MAINTENANCE MONITORING SYSTEM.

THE REAR FACING CAMERA FAILS TO DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES SINCE 01/01/2019. THIS HAS ONLY BEEN OBSERVED AFTER INITIAL STARTUP.

POWER WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE WHEN TRYING TO AUTO CLOSE (WIND UP FEATURE) IT GOES HALF WAY AND THEN AUTO OPENS (GOES BACK DOWN). NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN STATIONARY (BOTH IN PARK, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE).

UPON RETURN TO CAR AFTER LEAVING CAR LOCKED, FOUR WINDOWS ARE FOUND OPEN ALL THE WAY WHILE SHOPPING, PARKED IN PARKING LOT OR PARKED AT HOME OR ELSEWHERE, WHEN OPENING WINDOWS FROM INSIDE, GLASS GOES UP/DOWN REPEATEDLY, TRUNK OPENS BY ITSELF WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CAR IS UNSAFE, SUBJECT TO THEFT, OR INTERIOR DAMAGE BY THE ELEMENTS-RAIN, SNOW, ETC. SERIOUS ELECTRICAL/CONTROL PROBLEMS. TRUNK PROBLEM WAS REPORTED EARLIER TO NHTSA SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE DATE OF 3/05/2019 FROM DEALER. DEALER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED, THEY QUICKLY CHECKED & FOUND NOTHING WRONG. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN INTERSTATE, COUNTY ROADS, LOCAL STREETS, AT DIFFERENT DATES, ETC. *JS

UPON CLOSING THE CAR TRUNK THE PARKING LIGHTS FLASHED & STAYED ON AND THE CAR "LOCKED-UP". THE CAR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED USING EITHER THE KEY-BOB OR THE KEY. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO HONDA (CASE #9624986) WHO BASICALLY IGNORED THE ISSUE STATING THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES 'FOOLING' WITH THE KEY AND KEY-BOB THE PARKING LIGHTS WENT OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO UNLOCK & DRIVE THE CAR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE FOUND ON THE INTERNET BY "GOOGLING" "2016 HONDA CIVIC DOORS WON'T UNLOCK"

EPS SUB HARNESS IS MADE FROM A SOY BASED PRODUCT THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS AND A COMMON CAUSE FOR WIRES BEING CHEWED AND DESTROYED. AS SOON AS WE PRESENTED THE PROBLEMS WITH HONDA MECHANIC HE IMMEDIATELY AND SUSPICIOUSLY ASKED IF WE PARKED THE CAR OUTSIDE. UPON HIS INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE HE ONLY LOOKED AT WIRES WITH PREDETERMINATION THAT THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUES WAS WIRING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLIANT AMONG THE HONDA COMMUNITY AND LAW SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED, ONLY TO BE DISMISSED DUE TO TECHNICALITIES OF PROBABLE CAUSE. THE DAMAGE ENDANGERS THE CONSUMER DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR STALLS AND THE DRIVER LOSES THE ABILITY TO STEER BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND FUNCTION. BECAUSE THESE ARE SHORTS OCCURRING IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THEY TEND TO CLEAR UP IN BETWEEN DRIVES MAKING THE DRIVER BELIEVE THE CAR IS FUNCTIONAL, BUT THIS ONLY RISES THE RISK TO INJURY BY ACCIDENT AND OR EVEN DEATH.

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR FAILED AND NO LONGER BLOWS COLD AIR. I REVIEWED SEVERAL HONDA MESSAGE BOARDS AND FORUMS AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE THAT HOMDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

CAR WILL NOT START. ALL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS FLASH: EECTRIC PARKING BRAKE PARKING, VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST PROBLEM, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEM, POWER STEERING. WILL START WITH A JUMP START. THIS IS NOT A EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. TOOK IT INTO HONDA, THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTER. HERE WE ARE 2 DAYS LATER AND THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED NUMEROUS TIME AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR.

ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM CAR ON ABLE TO MOVE FROM PARK . HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY . SHOWING UP ON DASHBOARD .

TAKATA RECALL WHILE IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC STREET/ HIGHWAY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COMPRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE INCREASING SPEED!! ALSO, AT TIME VEHICLE WILL SAY EMERGENCY BREAK IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ALSO ALERTS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THIS CAR IS GOING FULL SPEED AND LOOSES POWER. HAVING TO PULL ASIDE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES TO BRING IT BACK TO SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

2016 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SOFTWARE ISSUES RESULTING FROM NEW CAMERA AND SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING INSTALLATION. *LD *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, GPS, LANE KEEP ASSIST, AND THE ROAD DEPARTURE MITIGATION WERE INTERMITTENTLY INOPERABLE. *JS *JS

TRUNK AND WINDOWS OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ENGINE OFF, PARKED. BRAKE HOLD COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN CITY. REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK ON KEY HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKED. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY, DOORS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN. VERY FEARFUL ABOUT THE ELECTRONICS SYSTEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

UPON STARTING VEHICLE, CENTER CONSOLE SCREEN WAS BLACK. WHEN I TAPPED THE POWER BUTTON, THE SCREEN FLASHED GREEN AND WENT BLACK. NO RADIO FUNCTION, NO CAMERA FUNCTION, NOTHING. I DROVE ON CITY STREETS TO THE GAS STATION AND IN A FEW MINUTES, THE COMPUTER SUDDENLY WOKE UP BY ITSELF AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE. JUST CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. WOMAN SAID NO ONE HAS CALLED ABOUT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, BUT THEY'D BE HAPPY TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR $100. I'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE WITH MY OLD PRIUS. THEY'LL RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. MEANWHILE I'LL BE OUT $100 AND MY TIME. AND LOOKING AT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHER HONDA OWNERS, SO HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. DRIVE BY WIRE IS DANGEROUS IF MANUFACTURERS CAN'T GET RELIABLE SOFTWARE. WE'LL SEE IF I HEAR BACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR NOT ABOUT TSB OR SOFTWARE UPDATES. I DOUBT IT.

2016 HONDA CIVIC LEASED IN OCTOBER OF 2016. I HAD SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES COME ON SCREEN FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES SO I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD AN ANIMAL CHEWED THROUGH SEVERAL WIRES AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CARS BROUGHT IN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. SO NOT ONLY DID I LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING MY 6 MONTH OLD CHILD IN THE VEHICLE, BUT ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FOOT THE $240 BILL TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. ALSO THERE IS NO CLEAR SOLUTION TO PREVENT ANIMALS FROM AGAIN CHEWING THE WIRES AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK AGAIN. THAT IS UNLESS I TAKE THE ADVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS TO 'STUFF MY HOOD COMPARTMENT WITH FABRIC SOFTNER DRYER SHEETS BECAUSE ANIMALS DO NOT LIKE THE SMELL' WHICH AGAIN BRINGS UP SAFETY CONCERNSWITH A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC COUPE TOURING WAS PARKED IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE AT NIGHT WITH ALL WINDOWS AND SUNROOF SHUT. IN THE MORNING WHEN I WENT TO THE GARAGE, BOTH WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF (WHICH I NEVER USE) WERE WIDE OPEN. IN READING MULTIPLE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON, HOWEVER HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FOB FUNCTION THAT IS PROGRAMMED TO INTENTIONALLY PERFORM THE WINDOWS/SUNROOF OPEN FUNCTION WITH THE FOB. HOWEVER, THIS FUNCTION HAS NO MEANS OF DEACTIVATION!! THIS CAUSES A RISK TO ALL CONTENTS OF THE CAR. DEACTIVATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE MADE BY CAR OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW MOMENTS. AFTER THE LIGHT WENT OUT, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE INFORMATION CENTER IN THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY FLICKER AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS SOFTWARE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,158.
