  1. Honda Extending Warranty on Compressor?

    It will never hurt to ask, but what you stated is pretty much the issue. Contact American Honda directly rather than go though your dealership, send them the invoice. If Honda doesn't cover the full expense, ask them to detail why. I just received the formal warranty extension in the mail last...
  2. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    So I just got off the phone with AHM and the case manager for another claim of mine (see threads on the a/c issues) mentioned that good will for paint issues was no longer being provided, per a notice they received today from their leadership. I'm not sure if that will end up changing, but it...
  3. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    I was digging around TSBs on the NHTSA website and found several "manufacturer communications" that cover a few models. There's a few more if you filter the list by "structure" https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2016/HONDA/CIVIC/4%2520DR/FWD#manufacturerCommunications...
  4. Honda Extending Warranty on Compressor?

    So I just reached out to Honda about this. cross posting what I said on reddit. Okay, so step 1 is down. Called Honda manufacturing today and the service rep put me on the "good will" track. I didn't have luck with this last time for my paint issue, although maybe I'll try that again...
  5. Honda Extending Warranty on Compressor?

    Since it was only posted on the 19th, it might take a few days for each of the systems you can do these lookups in to get updated. Per the reddit thread, I may swing by my dealership today to see if they would go about providing a credit or refund of some kind.
  6. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    Have a recommendation on the kit? Honda told me to pound sand on the good will coverage. Looking into having this fixed. I'm holding on to this car for hopefully another 5 years or until I need to pay a 5 digit repair bill, but putting up $1.5-2k for professional repaint on each side of the rear...
  7. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    Just got the call back from the local Honda collision place and they said that Honda will NOT be covering my paint issue. Pretty upset but I'm wondering if I just need to talk to the right person....
  8. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    I'm seeing the same thing, almost the exact same spot as OP and others. I was at the dealer for other maintenance and mentioned it to him, and he was saying that Honda is often interested in fixing these things.... but the warranty period is pretty sketchy this far out. Although, the fact we're...
  9. Popping Sound/Audio Defect Upon Start Up

    Just came back to this forum for another issue, but I wanted to update on my car; At some point in recent years the head unit was replaced entirely. I think I also had Honda take care of some really annoying rattling from the subwoofer at the same time, and since then I have not had any popping...
  10. AC only blowing cold air on right side of vehicle.

    This exact issue occurred to me. In the shop today, and they came out with a $1300 fee for parts and labor.... they're covering the condenser under the warranty. I decided to go through with it today but f**k I'm here trying to save for a house while not boiling in a Missouri summer, and just...
  11. AC only blowing cold air on right side of vehicle.

    Wow I had the same exact issue start happening after it was in the dealership for routine top ups. I couldn't figure out what was going on, but I eventually found the right side air was cooling while the driver air was not. Good to know other people have had it happen and I may be able to get it...
  12. Popping Sound/Audio Defect Upon Start Up

    Hey guys, I had this issue on my '16 Touring. Still have it if the weather is just right - perhaps a cold/humid day after a rainy night. The issue is somehow related to the Neutral DTS Audio setting. I found that with it enabled, I may run into this issue. While I believe Honda should fix...
  13. Clicking when tilting sunroof

    I had this problem. Be very careful with it. I ended up having the sunroof slide out of the track on one side. Dealer fixed it under warranty, but I was lucky that it did not rain overnight. I'd suggest taking it into the dealer now and say that you heard it clicking abnormally, and that you...
  14. Loud popping noise upon startup (Touring)

    So I had this happen to me twice this week. I've had the DTS Neural setting off for a while. While it was happening, I changed the setting a few times and it didn't seem to help. Both times, the car was outside over night and it had been at least damp, if not raining. I took it into a...
  15. How immune are the 2016s to theft?

    As opposed to just taking your gun? Another good tip is to never leave anything of value/cash in sight. A lot of car breakins are due to people leaving money in the console, or a tablet/gps/phone in plain sight. The folks around here also steal wheels, but usually a wheel lock is enough to...
  16. Potential MPG issue?

    I keep trip "B" on the total mileage, with trip "A" being the current tank. Not sure if there is another way to get that info from the car (of course the old fashioned method of calculating how much fuel you've used into your total mileage).
  17. Your android auto / carplay experience thus far? (been good for me - so far)

    There is definitely a setting to change the volume that android auto uses - I had low volume on my nexus 5x for a while before finding a solution. I'll have to see what it was when I get home.
  18. 1:43 Scale 2016 Honda Civic Touring Aegean Blue Metallic

    Oh c'mon, not even giving a full day??? Really though, how can I get one of my own?
  19. Potential MPG issue?

    Or, stop-and-go traffic lowers your mpg by nature. Even if you just use your brakes, and an ounce of throttle, your mileage is the worst when you aren't moving. The car's small engine+turbo only really *helps* highway mileage, since the turbo doesn't assist very much in low rpm.
  20. Loud popping noise upon startup (Touring)

    Could be drawing electrical power from the receiver, or the software/hardware/firmware is crap and 'dimming' your audio from sirius radio. Thank you for the update - I unfortunately have not had this happen often enough to where I can record it and show the dealer. I've told the dealer about it...
