What owners say
2016 honda civic touring. Consumer writes regarding loud grinding noise coming from vehicle. *ld the consumer stated the air conditioner failed causing the loud grinding noise. The manufacturer was contacted. The consumer requested to have to reimbursed for the cost of repairs.
Having issues with the brakes, acts like when you brake its seem like wants to keep going, purchase 3 mos ago from dealer, tires making grinding sounds when driving on frreway with speed between 65 and 70 mpr.
Lug nuts are self loosening. I do understand that lug nuts should be checked periodically. However, with 12,000 miles I have had two tighten nuts on three occasions. In particular the right front wheel. I first noticed a clicking sound when making a turn, that clicking would go away after a mile or so then after a week or two turned into brake grinding. Went to check the brakes and discovered the tire was loose and it was the wheel rocking back and forth making the clicking sound. The caliper not being aligned with the rotor would grind until the car was driven a few blocks and the grinding would cease. I now recognize the symptoms and correct it immediately. I suspect this is not an isolated case and a definite safety hazard.
Rear wheels lock intermittently. Excessive rear rotor wear, with normal wear on pads. Appears as if pads have worn out allowing for grinding against rotors. However, pads exhibit normal wear. Honda offers no explanation for corrosion. For comparison have attached photos of rear rotor and front rotor. Rear rotors exhibit significant wear/corrosion with pad life around 60%. This is equal on both rear wheels of the vehicle. Front rotors have normal wear @70% pad remaining. California based vehicle, but exposed to snow and winter driving. Rear wheels lock on an intermittent basis, as if rear parking brake is being applied. Potentially very dangerous, especially in cold weather driving.
Bought this car brand new off the lot. When car is started, it randomly makes a mechanical grinding noise. It is getting worse with time and beginning to happen more often. I've taken it to honda multiple times and they have even replaced the starter with no solution. They tell me they have no idea how to fix it and to wait for a recall. Car is beginning to idle high and jerk back and forth while accelerating in traffic.
During cold start up or warm start up, there is mechanical grinding noise. The grinding noise does not happen constantly but at random, indicating there may be a mechanical malfunction on engine component.
