I have had the vehicle for 4 years and kept up on maintenance; the last maintenance was performed in march 2020. I was driving the vehicle on a city street (2-way street) and started hearing a clicking noise and smelled smoke. The front passenger then noticed flames outside of his window.

Brought 2016 honda civic to dealership with a/c not properly working (blowing warm air), was told prior to drop off that it was likely a stone that hit the condenser causing a leak.

Honda use soy on wires because is cheaper than plastic ,but it attract rats and rodents that love to chew on it .witch result in car crash and expensive repairs .I have a new 2016 honda car 6 months old witch I had to pay 1481 $ even though I have a 5 years engine warranty. Honda makes money out of those repair an average of 100 cars come to every dealership every year :

Just bought 11months, found engine and exhaust pipe oil leaking, there is a risk fire, honda service person said it is not a issue, only need to change the engine cap. This car only 20000 - MPH, and I just bought a new car. I lost $9000.

I purchased the new car on 11/30/2015. Since then, it has been driven 22 miles. I learned of recall on 2/9/16 on news.

The 2016 civics with 2.0 liter motors have and been put on a "stop sale" are going to be recalled due to the possibility of engine failure, damage, and even possibility of engine compartment fires due to possibly having faulty piston snap rings.

Received recall notice on my vehicle per cylinder 2 & 3 misfiring. I brought my vehicle into service and I was told this recall did not apply to my vehicle as it was specific civics that had this problem (with my VIN on this recall) Honda then took this notice and disposed of it. I received another recall for drivability of my vehicle, still nothing done.

My air condition compressor is defective and leaking the new very flammable refrigerant r1234yf gas out from the compressor itself. The shaft seal seems to be where it is leaking. This is a known problem and honda should issue a recall to replace all of the defective compressors they installed in their cars.

Engine stalled at highway speeds was told by the mechanic that scanned the vehicle that the computer needed to be reflashed honda stated no recall but multiple complaints online also on honda mechanic website states computer issue

Issue with the 1.5 turbo called oil dilution. China had a recall on the turbo due to the fuel dilution problem (fuel getting into oil). Back in september on the way to ohio from indiana civic broke down and stalled while driving down interstate 70, during a rain storm.

Car stalls; with no warning just turns off this happens with no rhyme or reason and has happened multiple times many of which is not documented because it was not taken into a dealer; I could not afford a tow. I have now signed up for aaa and had it towed into a dealer this last occurrence.

Today I found out that honda issued a recall of approximately 45,000 model year 2016 civics in the u.s. And canada because the engine can stall while the car is in motion. This is due to a piston clip that was not installed or may have been improperly installed into the piston during assembly.

Piston clip ring recall from honda with no fix until mid-march as told by honda customer service. Recall not publicly released by honda at this time. The result of this part failure is engine failure, and/or stalling.

AC compressor leaking

May 2016, I purchased the re-designed 2016 honda civic coupe lx. On july 13, 2018, my AC was no longer blowing cold air. It was luke warm if that.

When the warmer weather started, I noticed my air conditioning was only giving out cold air on the passenger side. When brought to the local mechanic, they said they could not assess what was wrong with the air conditioner due to the design of the car for that year. I brought it to the honda dealer for repairs on may 20, 2019 where they said I needed a new condenser due to a leak.

I bought my Honda new in 2016 from Space Coast Honda in Cocoa, Florida. It had 0 miles. Since 2016 I have had 5 separate issues with the air conditioner, and have had to repeatedly go back to Space Coast Honda.

I love my Civic and I debated if reporting the issue, but in the interest of safety here it is: When you have to brake hard and suddenly (someone cuts you off) the car loses power (will not accelerate just coasts) for a second or two, but it seems like an eternity if you are in an intersection trying to get out of the way of aggresive traffic.

About 3 weeks ago my a/c stopped working. It only blows out lukewarm or hot air on both the driver and passenger side. I have one much research being as the car is barely 4 years old and this should not be happening.

AC does not work they say it is the compressor. That it is a known problem with this year and the 2017.

Every time I change or check my oil, there is a strong gasoline smell. When I take the dip stick out and smell it, all I smell is gasoline.

Engine oil level above maximum level, and the engine oil smells like gasoline.

I was sold a 2016 honda civic on the day (january 29, 2016) that american honda notified NHTSA of a 'stop-sale' and I am forced to drive a vehicle that may have a potentially life threatening defect until they fix it. Honda was aware of the problem, and I should not have been sold a vehicle with a safety concern as great as engine failure.

I was sold a brand new 2016 honda civic the day after a recall and stop of sale was issued. Now 5 days later I am having issues with the car. I contacted america of honda and they confirmed my car does have a recall and I provided me with a case number.
