2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2006 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 07/17/2022

*****both key transponders were responsive to the car today, ie green key light lit when both keys were inserted and turned to turn on the vehicle allowing the car radio and windows to be controlled, unlike other days where fraud occurred so that the car would not recognize both and only one or the other***** unidentified party, most likely remotely, stole control of my vehicle through manipulating non factory installed equipment that was installed after market and using factory installed equipment in a manner not openly discussed with the purchaser and owner. If it’s the police again or the manufacturer/ dealership or any court, has never disclosed or notified ownership or responsibility of such activities for now ten years. Spoke to manager again to inform that vehicle was again manipulated in retaliation to returning the gym when no open discussion occurred or report was received about not continuing a relationship between 24 hour fitness and myself as a member. Female onsite manager received reports that vehicle would not turn on again due to security alarm restriction, not mechanical failures, and that such activity was ongoing activity in furtherance of other abuses related to visiting that gym, such as vehicle and locker searches, which although not communicated to the manager, never resulted in further contact by the police or any authority regarding its occurrence.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 06/25/2019

Touch screen panel that controls the entire settings of the car over heats and blocks out making it very uncomfortable and upsetting not being able to control your /c settings or your radio and your phone. We have taken our 2016 Honda Civic touring that same year back multiple times in regards to this issue. However every time we took it they would replace it. Since then the touch screen panel has some what worked properly to the point where it was just slow in functioning but workable. This time on June 27, 2019 it has completly done the same thing we were facing in the beginning and this is stationary and in motion, I have tried resetting it by disconnecting the battery and joining cables together and it just didnt work it continues to not work properly since day of purchase. I would like for some one to help us resolve this issue and to replace our panel for a good working one.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 10/24/2018

I had to repair a known headlight issue for 2003 Civics. The lights stopped working on dim, and the wires had completely melted as described in the recall information for affected Civics. My VIN is not listed as part of the recall. Also, my gear selector can be accidentally placed into neutral without pressing a brake or button on the knob. For example, my daughter reached to change the radio station, and accidentally hit the gear selector. The car shifted to neutral (automatic transmission) without pressing of break or button. We were in motion, and at first, I thought something was wrong with the car, and I looked down to realize it had been placed into neutral. This has happened several times on accident. I purchased this vehicle in 2003 brand new from a Honda dealership, and I am the only owner.

8 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 06/07/2017

Sir/MA'am, I would like to address somewhat safety problem that many Civic have. Honda Civic has a center touch screen that controls radio, temperature and importantly shows rear view camera and right side camera. Today the center screen didn't even turn on and wasn't able to see an object rear and underneath of my car due to the screen not turned on. It is known issue for Civic community. I wish that NHTSA take a look into this issues.

9 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2004 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 04/21/2017

My key would come out of the ignition while not in park, the vehicle sometimes does not fully go into park unless forcefully pulled back into park so sometimes the vehicle wouldn't be in park all night or while in public parking lots. My Honda made key had to go into the ignition facing perfectly one way to start the car then the ignition completely refused the key and wouldn't turn once it accepted it. While I was trying to get my key to turn the ignition the car, in a public gas station parking lot, was not even in park even though I was completely able to turn the car off and take the key out of the ignition. My ignition no longer turns at all, I've already checked that the chip in my key is still functioning properly. Police officers tried to help me correct the issue without any success. The electrical system is now also acting up since this incident the radio flashes instead of staying on, I am now unable to change the time on the radio clock and my interior lights had to be removed because they refused to shut off.

10 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 03/06/2016

Hi, I purchased 2016 Civic in Dec, 2015. I I have experience 3 issues till now 1. Electronic brake - I have had 2 incidents where my electronic parking brake engaged automatically while driving, luckily was driving in city at lower speeds. But last week, was driving on interstate, stopped to fill gas - turned engine on, brake was engaged. Would not respond to the brake switch. Had to keep trying for a min or two before I was able to turn it off. 2. Sudden resistance - have experience this quite frequently, need more acceleration to get the vehicle into motion mainly at traffic stops. 3. Car radio - my model is equipped with all touch sensitive buttons. Power button on radio mostly do not respond.

11 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 02/28/2016

I leased the Honda Civic 2016 at woodland hills Honda. It was after leasing date, within 24-48 hours time, I returned to the car dealership to explain that I did not have an understanding that the Honda Civic 2016 did not come with a cd player and only offered an auxiliary cord outlet to work the entire sound system by my cell phone. The car dealership explained that they were unwilling to help me with a new car unless I wanted to pay more money but I could not get a new car at the same price. I argued for months with the dealership that being forced to work the audio system and run my maps for navigation through my cell phone posed a serious threat of distracted driving. The car is built in such a way, that the driver is only given an option to use the cell phone to operate audio and navigation. The way that the car is built, without the cd player, and only an auxiliary cord to plug into my phone to work the sound system interface conflicts with the California anti-texting law vc 23123. 5. Being forced to work my sound system and maps for navigation on my cell phone is the same spirit as to what and why this is against the law. It is distracted driving. Salesmen are not clearly explaining that you are buying a car with no cd player and you need to work your music from your cell phone. There is also more confusion at the point of sale because there are other cars that come with both the aux cord and also the cd player such as the Honda accord 2016 pilot for example. When I purchased the vehicle, I believed I was buying a car with both the aux cord and the cd player. Later, is when I learned, I leased the vehicle with only the aux cord option. I requested to end my contract on numerous occasions as I believed the car was a police magnet. I don't want to drive a car that makes me do something to attract officers. This is a safety and legal concern. Ticketed on 8/31/16.

12 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2016 Honda Civic

13 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2008 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 03/06/2015

I have a 2008 Honda Civic ex and I take really good of my car, the paint on top is fading to the metal, I see this is a problem for a lot of Honda Civic's. Also I am having major electrical problems, awhile ago my horn randomly stopped working and then 5months later started working again, then my passenger window wont roll up or down half the time, the lights where my stero is stopped working and now the buttons on the radio or on my steering wheel are working, when I turn my heat/ac up or down it messes with my headlights. I had all the fuses checked and they are just fine. Wondering if anyone else is having electrical problems and if there is a recall!!! I love Honda but I am to the point where I want to get a different car and not go with Honda.

14 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2009 Honda Civic

Failure Date: 02/05/2012

I was hit on the passenger side of the car by an SUV. The repairs were with genuine Honda parts but ever since then the front controls where the radio is has been extremely hot. Almost to the point I think I burn my hands to change the radio station. I think it may be hot enough to start a fire with melting the controls in the back. I have been told there is nothing that can be done or it will cost me a lot of money to diagnose it. I just see it as a safety issue to have the dash so hot it burns people. The passenger airbag did not deploy in the crash and possibly should have.
