ON MAY 09, 2017 I WAS REAR ENDED WHILE SITTING STILL BY A CAR TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND MY FACE WAS PROJECTED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. DURING THE IMPACT MY SEATBELT DIDN'T SEEM TO ACTIVATE AND NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED YET BUT I WOULD GUESS IT TO BE TOTALED DUE TO THE FRONT AND REAR IMPACT DAMAGE. EVERYONE I'VE SPOKE TO INCLUDING THE POLICE OFFICER AND WRECKER SERVICE WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I FEEL VERY LUCKY BUT DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S SAFETY FEATURES.

I PRESSED MY AUTOMATIC START KEY FROM THE WINDOW OF THE BUILDING , WHILE I WAS GETTING READY ,(WASHING MY FACE, BRUSHING TEETH) AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS LATER I HEARD THE SOUND OF THE ALARM , WHICH WOULD USUALLY TURN ON IF THERE IS A HIT OR IMPACT OR LOUD SOUND . WHEN I CAME DOWNSTAIRS, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER . I NOTICED THE FRONT WINDOW WAS SHATTERED , I FIGURED MAYBE ONE THE NEIGHBORS WAS PLAYING BALL AND HIT MY WINDOW, WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR I REALIZED THERE WAS A FIRE INSIDE COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE DASHBOARD, EVERYTHING WAS MELTED AND MY DASHBOARD WAS ALSO SUNK IN. I CHECKED IF THERE WAS AN OUTLET CONNECTED OR USB PORTS AND DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP AND ONLY ADVICE THAT WAS GIVEN WAS TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE , THEY ALSO ADDED THEY WOULD NOT BE TAKING CARE OF ANY DAMAGES IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND ALSO DID NOT KNOW WHY, NOR WERE EVEN INTERESTED IN INVESTIGATING. THE CAR WAS IN COMPLETE PARK MODE, AND OFF OVERNIGHT. NO ONE DESERVES TO TAKE THEIR SIBLINGS TO SCHOOL AND INSTEAD BE WELCOMED BY A MALFUNCTIONING DEFECTIVE 2016 YEAR VEHICLE.

THERE ARE THREE ISSUES WITH THIS 2016 HONDA CIVIC. HOWEVER ONE OF THESE ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED "IMMEDIATELY". WHEN YOU GO TO PARK YOUR CAR,(HAVING IT IN A STATIONARY POSITION) YOU PUSH THE PUSH BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. HOWEVER IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, IT "TURNS OFF" AND GIVES YOU A WARNING TONE. BUT!!!! IF YOUR HARD OF HEARING, AND YOU DON'T HEAR THIS TONE, YOU GO TO GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND IT EITHER ROLLS BACKWARDS (KNOCKING YOU DOWN WITH THE DOOR) AS IT ROLLS AWAY FROM YOU (AND HOPEFULLY NOT OVER YOU), "OR" IT ROLLS FORWARD, RUNNING COMPLETELY AWAY FROM YOU. THERE IS NO SAFETY FEATURE, SUCH AS THE ACURA. THE ACURA AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS YOUR CARS POSITION SO IT DOESN'T ROLL AWAY FROM YOU OR OVER YOU... MY BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN HURT TWICE DUE TO THIS UNSAFE FEATURE. AND I MYSELF HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY IT ONCE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 5,000 MILES ON IT. QUESTION IS? HOW MANY MORE MILES WILL IT BE ABLE TO ACCUMULATE BEFORE KILLING ONE OF US, OR SOMEONE ELSE? IF THERE WAS A WAY FOR ME TO SEND YOU A VIDEO OF THIS I WOULD. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD FROM MY PHONE.

THE HONDA CIVIC WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET WHEN IT WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. A FEW HOURS LATER THE CAR ALARM WAS GOING OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE AND INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE POLICE IN MY JURISDICTION DO NOT TAKE ACCIDENT REPORTS FOR ACCIDENTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY THEREFORE A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT TAKEN. AFTER THE INCIDENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A ACTIVE RECALL INVOLVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR ON OCTOBER 8, 2016 I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "DO NOT SELL" NOTE IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DUE TO THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO THE DOWNLOAD WHILE WE DID THE PAPERWORK. AFTER THIS INCIDENT INVOLVING THE WRECK THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO CHECKED THE DOWNLOAD AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DOWNLOAD WAS UP TO DATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED WHICH THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES FOUND IN THE SYSTEM. THIS WAS DONE AT THE ADVICE OF HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED ME TODAY AND STATED THAT AT THIS TIME THEY RECOMMEND PROCEEDING WITH AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I STATED THAT I THOUGHT THAT SINCE THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL AND THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL FAILED THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO LOOK AT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE DEALER REPORTS AND IF THEY FOUND SOMETHING THEY WOULD CONTACT ME BACK WHICH SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME. WHAT'S TO SAY THE BRAKE WON'T FAIL AGAIN AND NEXT TIME THERE MAY BE SOMEONE BEHIND IT OR IN FRONT OF IT. *TR

I PARKED MY 2016 HONDA CIVIC IN MY GARAGE AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND WALKED INTO THE HOUSE. THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE (GARAGE SURFACE IS RATHER FLAT, PROBABLY WHY I DIDN'T SEE THIS HAPPEN) DOWN MY SLOPED DRIVEWAY ENDED UP IN THE NEIGHBORS YARD. VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE EXHAUST, BUMPER, UNDERSIDE OF TRUNK AND RIGHT REAR TIRE. THANK GOODNESS THAT NOBODY WAS INJURED. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE I MADE A MISTAKE BUT NOW THAT HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE PARKING BRAKE I UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. I DID SET THE PARKING BRAKE BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT DID NOT EVER SET. I HAVE SINCE SEEN THIS HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I HAVE PARKED ON OTHER SOMEWHAT FLAT SURFACES AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT HAD MOVED A SMALL AMOUNT. WITH THE RELEASE OF DETAILS IN THE SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V725000 ) I NOW UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
