Potential Consequences:
I BOUGHT A HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L ON 2/17. ON 2/24, THE CAR BROKE DOWN MIDWAY (MILES DRIVEN 88). WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ALL KINDS OF VIDEO WARNING MESSAGES LIKE PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION, BRAKING SYSTEM, STEERING ETC. STARTED APPEARING ON THE CENTER DISPLAY WERE THE VEHICLE'S SPEED GETS DISPLAYED(PART OF THE TACHOMETER / SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY). I HAD TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. NEXT DAY THE DEALER RETURNED THE VEHICLE SAYING THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. FROM THAT DAY ONWARDS, I STARTED FACING INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE FAILING TO ACCELERATE WHICH I FEEL IS VERY UNSAFE. ON 2/26 (AT SPEED OF 62 MPH) AND AGAIN ON 3/4 (AT SPEED OF 46), WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION INSPITE OF ME PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. NOW I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 3/4 AND IT IS WITH THE DEALER FOR THE PAST 6 DAYS. TODAY (3/10), THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT FEELING SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY MORE. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET INTO ANY ACCIDENTS. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE ASKED ME TO TAKE BACK THE UNSAFE VEHICLE OR TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE AS AN USED VEHICLE. SINCE IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT, I AM LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO BEAR THE LOSS AND TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 200 MILES (MOST OF THE MILES ADDED DUE MY TRIPS TO DEALER AND THE MILES DRIVEN BY THE DEALER). I HAVE A CASE REGISTERED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. BUT THEY ALSO TURNED ME DOWN. I CANNOT TAKE IN ANY MORE PAIN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE (HONDA CIVIC EX 2016 2.0 L) AND WAS ALSO ISSUED A STOP OF SALE. INSPITE OF ALL THESE I WAS SOLD THE VEHICLE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK. JUST BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

Potential Consequences:
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. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT HONDA SENT A STOP SALE NOTICE TO ALL DEALERS ON FEBRUARY 2ND HOWEVER; MY 2016 CIVIC CAR WAS SOLD TO ME ON FEBRUARY 13TH FROM A HONDA DEALER LOCATED IN PHOENIX, AZ. I DID CONTACT THE DEALER AND AM TAKING MY CAR IN TOMORROW BUT I READ THAT THE PART OR INSPECTING INSTRUMENTS WON'T EVEN BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE END OF MARCH. NOT SURE IF THE DEALER WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO INSPECT MY CAR TOMORROW BUT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. CAN'T BELIEVE HONDA IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK UNTIL THE NEW PART AND INSPECTING INSTRUMENT ARE AVAILABLE.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
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. I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY DEALER OR HONDA ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED DEALER ON 2/11/16 WHO IN TURN CONTACTED HONDA. BEING A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 22 MILES ON IT (3 TRIPS--THE FIRST BEING THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP), I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS MORE THAN REASONABLE.. HONDA REFUSED. I WAS ADVISED TOOLS TO EXAMINE FOR THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. SINCE THE CAR CAN NOT BE FIXED AT THIS TIME, IT IS A SAFETY LIABILITY, AND HONDA WAS NOT WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THING, I FILED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT WITH THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL. THEY WERE OF NO HELP WITH HONDA NOW REFUSING TO REFUND MY MONEY OR REPLACE THE CAR. TO DATE ( 2/25/16), I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL PAPERWORK FROM HONDA. THEY EXPECT TO SEND IT OUT SOMETIME IN MARCH. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PRESENTS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SAFETY- LIABILITY ISSUES FOR ME, MY FAMILY, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS SHOULD IT STALL, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR CATCH FIRE. I DID NOT BUY THIS NEW VEHICLE TO DRIVE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. BUT SINCE HONDA ANNOUNCED THE RECALL AND STOP SALES ORDER ON 1/29/2016 UNTIL NOW, THIS IS WHAT I FACE AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL CONTINUE. PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? THIS IS NOT THE NEW CAR EXPERIENCE I EXPECTED, AND I DID NOT BUY THE CAR TO BE INJURED, TO DAMAGE THE ENGINE, OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACCIDENT WITH MY INSURANCE PICKING UP THE TAB. I AM NOT THE ONLY 2016 CIVIC OWNER IN THIS SITUATION. WHY SO LONG TO NOTIFY US OF THIS DANGEROUS RECALL TO THE ENGINE NO LESS? I SEE HONDA HAS INDEMNIFIED ITSELF. WHAT ABOUT US AND OUR SAFETY? I WANT MY VEHICLE REPLACED OR A REFUND. I DID NOT BUY A NEW VEHICLE TO REPAIR IT WITH ONLY 22 MILES ON IT. THIS IS FAR FROM THE TYPICAL SAFETY RECALLS WE USUALLY SEE.

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 BOUGHT ONE A WEEK BEFORE THIS "STOP SALE" AND I AM APPARENTLY GOING TO BE FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEFECT UNTIL THEY FIX IT WHICH WILL NOT BE UNTIL THIS SUMMER ACCORDING TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NUMBER AND I HAVE REQUESTED A RENTAL FROM HONDA SO THAT I CAN STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE. "ENGINE FAILURE" ON ANY ROADS MUCH LESS A BUSY HIGHWAY IS DANGEROUS AND AN OBVIOUS MAJOR PROBLEM, AND I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO MY TODDLER IF MY BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC DIES ON ME OR CATCHES FIRE. WILL SOMEONE REAR END ME? WILL I BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC? WHO KNOWS. I JUST HOPE HONDA DOES SOMETHING FOR THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, CONSIDERING IT'S SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT IT CAN NOT BE CURRENTLY SOLD BY DEALERSHIPS UNTIL FIXED. .
