Honda Civics from 2015 on appear to have a problem with the remote control, in particular the sensor for the trunk. The particular car in question is a 2017 Honda Civic. Extreme sensitivity results in the slightest pressure, without the owner being aware, activating the car trunk, and the trunk will open and remain open until the owner or someone closes it. A trunk that opens randomly and not by deliberate action is obviously a safety factor and needs to be addressed. Dealers, service people, and the auto maker itself have all denied that the problem exists and that if it does exist it cannot be addressed because it is the owner's action that causes this problem. There has not even been a suggestion or advice as to how to deal with an overly sensitive remote or a randomly opening trunk. A car remote control which will activate an action just by a mere accidental touch, is an inconvenience at best, and at worst, a problem that needs to be addressed and fixed. A car with an open trunk can lead to situations which can be potentially dangerous, and not acceptable in any way. I am hoping for some action on the part of the carmaker and the auto company, as I am at a loss as to what to do and have failed to receive any acceptable response from those whom I have contacted. Although one particular date has been provided below for this event happening, it has happened over 10 times since the purchase of this vehicle and can happen randomly at any time.

Flashing flickering entertainment system. The system has also reset itself 2 times while in operation again flashing and flickering. The sound cuts out as well while this happens. I have a video recording of a partial incident. Honda refuses to answer my questions regarding my concerns for my safety regarding the issue. They also claim that the issue cannot be duplicated in the dealership. However this occurs sporadically and they have only look at it for a few hours even after I asked that the vehicle not be returned till the issue was resolved.

I purchased a new Honda Civic on January 7, 2017. Previously my new car did not want to start on 1/28/17. 21 days after my new purchase. I had the same trouble again when my new car did not want to start on 4/29/17 at 5:20pm. I was in a parking lot and it would not start. I called Honda roadside assistance at 1-866-864-5211 and they said a tow truck would arrive at 6pm. They did not show up at 6pm. At 6pm I received a text that a tow truck would show up at 6:45pm. It was very hot and I thought I was going to suffer from a heat stroke. After many tries, my car eventually started at 6:15pm. I am very frustrated with this car. When I took the car into the dealership on 5/1/17 to clawson in fresno, ca. I was told they did not have any rentals and they would call me on 5/2/17. They did not call me on 5/2/17. I went to the dealership on 5/2/17 and they said they did not have any rental cars. I called Honda corporate at 1-800-999-1009 and clawson Honda authorized a rental car for one day.

My new car will let you turn off (push button) and get out and walk away while still being in gear. I exited my vehicle in this situation and it rolled down the drive and hit a tree. It was 3 feet from rolling into a highway that could have resulted in serious injury or death. Older cars you cannot remove the key. You should not be able to turn off the car without some other safety feature to keep this from happening.

I purchased a new Honda Civic 2017 with 11 miles on 1/7/17. 21 days later, on 1/28/17 my car did not start after work. The tow truck had to jump start my car and after numerous attempts it started. I work downtown and it was dark and late. This is unacceptable for a new car. I took it to the dealer next day and they replaced the battery. I am fearful that my "new" car may not start again.

The head rests are angled so far forward that it is causing me some severe neck pain. Only had the car for 3 months.
