  1. I got stuck with fake NGK Iridium spark plugs

    I found 2 other posts about this issue, but I hadn't read them and I got stuck with fake NGK Iridium spark plugs. So, I am posting this in case anyone else has not heard of this issue. I found them on eBay for half price of traditional car part websites. But looking at the box, the looked...
  2. Rear brake pads unevenly worn - why?

    I got new tires today and the tech told me I needed rear brakes, which I expected. But he said that one side was down to 1 mm and the other still had 3 mm of pad left. I replaced the pads and rotors at the same time, so I would expect that they would wear evenly. Is there a reason for this? A...
  3. Auto headlights don't turn off in daylight or when I shut the car off

    My 2016 Civic Touring just started having this problem today. I was driving during daylight and I noticed that the headlights and fog light indicators were on. I keep my headlight switch on Auto, and fog lights set to On. Even after shutting the car off, the headlights stayed on even after...
  4. Looking for a wireless charger for my 2016 Civic Touring

    There are so many wireless chargers out there I don't know which one to choose. I want to preferably mount it in the driver's side vent by the door which is where I currently have a regular cell phone holder. But I am open to mounting it elsewhere if there is one that is better. Anyone have...
  5. Galaxy S9: "This internet connection is not stable right now" when texting using voice

    I have been getting this error when using the Android Auto Voice Command to Send a Text Message: "This internet connection is not stable right now" or sometimes "This internet connection is not strong enough right now". It started happening in November immediately after an OS update. I...
  6. Rear brake outer pads worn more than inner pads

    I replaced the rear pads on my 2016 Civic Touring because I was told by the dealer they were at less than 3mm. When I took them off, only the outer pad was worn that far, but that the inner pad wasn't nearly as bad. Is this normal? I didn't notice anything abnormal about the condition of the...
  7. Unread Watched Threads email link shows All Watched Threads instead of just Unread ones

    In the email titled "Unread Watched Threads", the link at the bottom is for "All Watched Threads" (https://www.civicx.com/watched/threads/all). Can it be changed to "Unread Watched Threads" (https://www.civicx.com/watched/threads) which is the purpose of the email? Chris
  8. Replace Touring LED bulbs without buying whole assembly?

    I got into a minor fender bender last week. I noticed a hairline crack in the headlight assembly, but didn't think it would cause an issue. Everything was working fine for a few days. Then the blinker started hyperflashing intermittently. Then last night the low beam headlight stopped...

    Even though Honda has the second lowest number of incidents of exploding sunroofs, it pays to report any incidents to Consumer Reports to get accurate data...
  10. How to Protect Your Car From Rodents (from Consumer Reports)

    Thought I would share this. I left my 2016 Touring out of the garage for a couple of weeks only to find a trove of nuts stored in the hood. Luckily not wires eaten through, this time. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-maintenance/how-to-protect-your-car-from-rodents/ What You Can Do We...
  11. After shutting of the engine, Headunit stayed on and couldn't lock the doors (RESOLVED)

    This is not a request for help. Just an FYI in case this issue happens to anyone else. After driving to the supermarket and putting the car in Park and pressing the Engine button, the engine shut off, but the radio kept playing and I heard 3 short beeps. I started the car again, shut if off...
  12. Warm air from floor vent with A/C on full blast

    Normally I use the A/C with just the front vents. But when I get tired of the air blowing on me full force, I switch to both front and floor vents. I noticed today that the the air blowing out of the floor vent was warm, while the air blowing from the front vents was cold. I made sure A/C was...
  13. Fuel door opens when unlocking front door after fueling

    Anyone have this issue? I set the Door Auto Lock Mode to On so that it locks the doors as soon as I walk away from the car. When I go to a gas station, I shut off the car, unlock the doors and get out with the key fob in my pocket. I push the fuel door to open it and begin fueling. At some...
  14. New 2016 Touring - What can the key alone do?

    The sales person wasn't even sure what I could do with the key hidden inside the key fob. I assume it would open the door in case the battery is dead in the key fob. But beyond that, could I start the car with it?
