  1. Steering is stiff and notchy feeling

    since the Honda dealer has checked it, it is very drivableā€¦stickiness is pretty much non existent. Divine intervention?
  2. Steering is stiff and notchy feeling

    Bump. Finally took my ā€˜16 Touring in today to have the dealer look at steering issue. I spoke to the service manager a couple of weeks ago and he was aware of the problem and said he thought the fix was a new steering rack. I asked him if Honda was offering any extended warranty for this...
  3. Rolled fenders

    Nice work!
  4. Steering is stiff and notchy feeling

    Same issue here. I have a ā€˜16 Touring with only about 30K miles. Itā€™s nothing that would cause an accident but VERY annoying. Love the car with the exception of the steering, the rain sensor w/s wipers and the audio system. I havenā€™t had one problem with it other than these annoyances.
  5. Rain sensors (again)

    When I fist got my 2016 Civic Touring I posted that the rain sensor operation was terrible. I have since seen posts about rewiring them to standard intermittent wipers. I donā€™t want to do that. I know that the sensor is positioned correctly against the glass. My question is: has Honda come...
  6. Windshield replacement

    There is another thread regarding W/S replacement. As mentioned, most states (SC included) it is covered by insurance. Also bear in mind that the electronics near the w/s rear view mirror will need to be calibrated. In my case (also a '16 Touring) the glass shop (Safelite) was unable to do it...
  7. 2017 Touring Sedan (non sport) brake vectoring?

    Very cool. Porsche started incorporating this in the '90s with the 993 model...ABD-- automatic brake differential. Cool to see that the technology is now in use in these economy cars. Didn't realize mine had it. Thanks for the post.
  8. Touring Windshield Replacement recalibration

    I had my windshield in my 2016 Touring replaced shortly after I got the car. In the states, most states have a requirement that the insurance companies have no deductible on glass (here in SC included). The insurance co sent Safelite to my house and I was told I'd have to take it to their...
  9. What are these rubber plugs?

    We used to have to pull out similar plugs from the frame rails on the Cayenne when customers complained of hearing water sloshing around during braking. We'd pull the plugs out and a gallon of water would come out of both frame rails. Maybe that's why the dealers are leaving them out during...
  10. Hard to see oil level on dipstick...

    The point the OP makes is that the dipstick is difficult to read. Those with a lot of experience I'm sure would agree that some are easier to read than others. I've always felt it's best to have as much oil in the pan as possible when checking (on any car with a wet sump) since that's where...
  11. Hard to see oil level on dipstick...

    Agreed! I thought so too. My Honda Odyssey is much more user friendly. I have to walk out of my garage into the sunlight to see it.
  12. Assembly production video of the 2017 Civic

    At the Cayenne plant in Leipzig, one of the coolest things was the windshield installation. One arm would swing out and apply a bead of the butyl sealant all the way around the frame and then another arm would swing around with the windshield suction cupped to it and put it precisely into the...
  13. Assembly production video of the 2017 Civic

    I'm amazed by not only the people that design the software to operate those robots but more so those who develop the robots that use the software! I have been in the Porsche factory in Germany and seen it in person and it's nothing short of amazing!
  14. Any regrets getting a touring instead of a lower trim?

    I bought a used 2016 Touring sedan that I love! Especially the LED headlights (it's very dark here and I'm a geezer). The wheels on the lower trim levels (with the fake louvers) are some of the ugliest I've ever encountered in 42 years in the auto industry. My bottom line is, this Civic is a...
  15. Is anybody happy with Rain Sensing?

    This from another thread about rain sensors:
  16. Passenger Window Won't Roll Up (is it covered by warranty)?

    Silicone spray in the window channel, no doubt.
  17. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Valve stem caps I found in my tool box from a previous life. A little corny!
  18. GPS issue on 2017 Sport Touring Hatchback

    I have a 2016 Touring edition sedan that I bought with 6600 miles on it and have this issue. Sometimes (not always) when I pull out of my garage it will show me driving all over the golf course or even into the ocean! Then it gets me closer to the road that I'm actually on and finally operates...
  19. NSX HOOD

    Do you think an NSX hood would fit a Civic without a lot of modification? It'd be a pretty cool look.
