  1. Paint Already Flaking/Chipping!

    Add me to the list of victims. Mine may have taken longer than others because the car has been garaged the past three years. I've contacted Honda by e-mail but not expecting much based on what I've read here. 2016 model, well past any warranty.
  2. 2016 A/C Compressor Leak

    I had a similar sequence of events. In 2019 my 2026 Civic's AC went out. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a compressor issue and they replaced that. Since the car was just out of warranty (and they were probably already becoming aware of the widespread issues) they only charged me a...
  3. Trunk opens spontaneously / alarm sounds

    I finally just stopped carrying the keys with me when I'm not driving and all the phantom trunk openings, windows rolling down and panic alarm going off stopped. It's really a shame they couldn't have just made the system less sensitive or designed the key fob in such a way that it was harder to...
  4. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    The verdict for me was: "refrigerant level excessively too low, leak from the compressor shaft seal. Performed an AC system performance test, readings out of specs do (sic) to leak. Replaced the compressor and transferred parts. Replaced the condenser desiccant filter set, evacuate and recharge...
  5. 16 Civic AC Not Working

    My car is like 3 days out of warranty and when I tried to turn on the AC today all I got was this hissing sound. That's a sound I usually hear for a second or two before the AC comes on, but this time it just stayed on and the air coming out didn't get any cooler. I scanned quite a bit of this...
  6. Why didn't the Alarm go off? Air Bag stolen!

    I understand that the thieves want to resell the airbags, but why mostly Honda? Since the ones they are stealing are not on the Takata recall list what's the added value? Wouldn't it be just as lucrative to grab Toyota or Ford airbags? Or is there something about the design of the Honda airbag...
  7. Why didn't the Alarm go off? Air Bag stolen!

    The question is why only Honda airbags. Aren't all cars airbags worth about the same?
  8. Civic air bags being stolen

    I had one of these thefts last night, another Civic and an Accord near me also got hit. This is a well lit parking lot in view of about 20 or so condo units. The Civic already has a blinking led, but apparently breaking the car window and taking out the airbag dosen't set off any kind of alarm...
  9. Why didn't the Alarm go off? Air Bag stolen!

    My airbag was stolen while parked in front of my condo overnight. The thieves broke the glass and took the airbag out. Is the alarm went off I would have heard. It clearly didn't.
  10. 2017 Civic Hatchback Priced From $19700 (US). Arrives Next Week

    Actually no, the sticker on my 2016 Sedan says they were already using the 2017 EPA standards. The LX hatchback is only 1 mpg lower than my '16 sedan so I think the engine difference explains it.
  11. Trunk opens spontaneously / alarm sounds

    I've had some similar experiences. Two times I've walked outside in the morning to find my trunk open. Also at least once I've heard the alarm go off from my living room. In all cases I assumed that the button on the fob got mashed up against something else, but now I'm beginning to wonder. At...
  12. Frequent tailgating

    Couple things. I think the height and angle of the rear window on the sedan makes cars behind seem closer than they really are. I noticed the same effect driving a Kia Rio. Two, maybe the drivers behind us are just mesmerized by the taillight design.
  13. TPMS False Alarm?

    My best guess based on the info I've been able to gather is that the dealer didn't re-calibrate TPMS prior to delivery.
  14. EX w/ Sensing vs EX-T

    I'd go with the sensing because it's more unique. You can get turbo and leather on a lot of cars but Civic is the only one that offers anything like Sensing at its price point. You'll have a car that's ahead of it's time today and won't seem so out of date in few years when this stuff is...
  15. Turn Signal Sticks With ACC On?

    So I was driving my LX Sensing with the Adaptive Cruise Control activated, I signaled to change lanes, decided to stay in my lane and tried to turn the signal off but it wouldn't go off, I could get the signal to go in the other direction but not off. After pulling the lever up and down and back...
  16. TPMS False Alarm?

    I was driving my Civic LX this morning in an area that was higher elevation than where I usually drive and the low tire pressure warning came on in the center dash screen below the speedometer. I pulled off the road and checked tire pressure and all were at 37 PSI (32 PSI cold is normal, but I...
  17. May 2016 sales..

    And it was a pretty rough month for a lot of other car companies too.
  18. Starting to have my doubts

    I'm coming from a first-year Ford Fiesta, which has been Consumer Report's 1st or 2nd least reliable car for its entire time on the market. Amazingly I didn't have many problems until year 5 and even then they were not the catastrophic transmission issues that many experienced. I feel a lot...
  19. What did you pay?

    My deal: Civic LX with Sensing Out the door was $22056 including freight and tax and fees. The car itself was $19893. I got an unexpectedly high $3500 on my trade, so I decide not to push much harder on the price.
