Rear brake light hangs down rear window, covering almost 50% visibility. Worsened visibility at night due to the whole rear window being lit up red when brake is applied. Have taken to dealer, they claim they know nothing about the issue, refuse to offer any type of remedy for the issue.
Third brake cover off, and they told me that now can not be permanently repaired, when you depress the brake entire glass is red . Wipers can not clean the windscreen .
Third brake light cover will not stay up. This causes a visibility issue when driving at night or in rain, as the reflection from the red light covers the entire back window and reflects in the side mirrors. You cannot see. It does not matter if the temp is hot or not. Leased in ohio end of June and was like that then, as were all coupes on lot. Dealer said they could glue in ohio. Called another dealer he said not to do that, would void warranty. Car now with son at college in florida. Called dealer there, knew nothing. This is a hazard driving and I want it documented, as pretty much all other 2016 Honda coupe owners do, that if this causes an accident, there have been plenty of complaints at Honda service departments about. There is a forum that has pages of the same complaint and attempted fixes, but none work. It even states that since July 2016 Honda is working on a fix. This is a danger and needs fixed ASAP.
The contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the third brake light detached from the vehicle, which caused a red glare that impaired the contact's vision. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 500. The VIN was not available.
The 3rd brake light that's on the inside of the rear window (I have the coupe) has a cover which keeps the light directed outside of the car and attaches to the window. The glue holding it to the window isn't strong enough, so the cover hangs down, blocking some of the rear window, reducing visibility. Also, at night the light itself washes out the rear window, making it difficult to see out the back at all. This problem is affecting 100% of the 2016 coupes that have ever been out on a warm day (heat melts the glue), and Honda isn't fixing it. They've been stringing us along for 5 months now, promising a fix in "a month" or "a couple weeks", with no resolution. Last I heard, they said on November 7th that it would be released in 8-12 weeks. It feels like their plan is to just keep this up until people super glue the casing to the window themselves or decide badgering Honda about it isn't worth it anymore. Please make them fix their problem.
The cover for the reverse light, rear window, of the 2016 Civic has dropped and after repeated attempts trying to get american Honda to correct, still has not been fixed. The cover can't be removed as the reverse light is too bright and makes it impossible to see out the rear window at night. During the day, the cover obscures objects/cars in the rear view window.
My husband was driving down the interstate when a small pebble hit the bottom drivers portion of the windshield, thus putting a small ding in the glass, however within 4 hours I had a crack 28 inches long, I have owned many vehicles in my life n have had things hit my windshield and it never caused a crack. After reviewing the consumers affair web site I noticed there were so many people like me, and easily cracked windshield on there 2016 Civic before they have even made there first car payment, and the fact that there on national back order so whether it obstructs your view or not you can't even get a replacement yet, I don't know if they have cut corners in the manufacturing of there glass or not but I believe that they should be able to sustain more then a little pebble before they crack like this, and I hope you guys investigate this before someone really gets injured because the crack causes a type of magnifying effect when u try to see thru it while driving n it definitely obstructs your view.
New Honda Civic windshield suddenly cracked and continues spreading. No replacements available in America.
The rear third brake light has come undone, it bounces around and obstructs the rear view. It's hard to explain how such a small part could block the view unless you encounter this for yourself. This is especially bad on the highway at a slight down grade where it can obstruct the entire highway behind you. Once again, hard to explain unless you live in a hilly area and experience this. During the night the rear window is flooded with red light. This is a safety hazard. There is an entire website related to just this issue. 7/26/2016 - just got back from the dealer where they "fixed it with another part" - this didn't make it out of the parking lot of the dealer before it was bouncing around again - american Honda should issue a recall to fix this correctly with a newly designed part.
