2016 Honda Civic 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 174hp 1.5L I4 CVT FWD
| 5000 mi | GPS software updated/replaced with questionable success. I think it just takes much longer than usual, compared to other cars, for the GPS to acquire satellites, best done with the car sitting still. |

The lane departure assist stays on all the time and activates at a much lower speed than its set at. The soft touch buttons shows its set to off but it’s still active. If the wipers are working the function does not activate. Honda is not able to resolve this and wants to charge me for diagnostic only. |
| 2300 mi | One trip to the dealership to replace the infotainment system. It was glitchy. They had a TSB and replaced the whole system no questions asked. |

| The driver's side door latch had to be replaced, it would freeze and not un-lock using the key fob, or key-less pull of the handle. | |
| 14000 mi | My battery went suddenly dead. I got the car jumped and went to buy gas, the fuel door wouldn't open AND the driver's side door latch wouldn't open. Had to open from passenger's side door. Couldn't reproduce the problem at the dealership, so I took the car home. |
