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 contact owns a 2016 Honda Civic. Upon changing gears from park to any other gear, the gears were slow to change over. The vehicle jerked and later accelerated to change gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than three times, but the cause of the failures could not be replicated and diagnosed. A service center manager indicated that the condition was experienced more than twice from a test drive, but provided no recommended solution. The dealer kept the vehicle for weeks. The manufacturer did not provide the dealer with a remedy. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15V574000 (power train). The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

Car allowed itself to be turned off while still in drive. Upon leaving car it rolled down incline into another car. My husbands Honda (2011 CRV) does not allow the car to turned off in drive nor does it allow the key to be removed from the ignition while still in gear/drive.

After a sudden stop, such as stopping for a yellow light about to turn red, the car jerks forward after reaching 0 mph. It seems to be a transmission issue reported by various users across Civic community forums.
