So, I purchased a new 2016 Civic Touring, I LOVE the car to death, by far a very nice clean reliable coupe that is quick and agile (for a Honda). I have sadly encountered a few issues/concerns with the car recently.
1. i noticed their is a really weird sound almost like a rattle when i start up the car. I come home at 8pm and i leave for work in the morning at 10;30, and it almost always makes that noise when i am remote starting the car about to head to work in the morning. I dont know if its maybe just a cold start sound, because the car was just sitting there; or if its a real problem, but i asked my mechanic at the dealership and i couldnt recreate the sound..
2. The third brake light.. Had it repaired 4 times, but when it came down for the fifth time, i went back to the Honda Dealership, and they are in the works of making a "safety mechanism" for it, which will keep it mounted against the glass.
3. I also noticed that if i drive in reverse for about 25-30 yards, and then stop and put it into drive, my car will come up with a error saying "brake hold problem"
About 2 weeks ago, i was using brake hold at a light, and it disengaged and i tapped someones back bumper.. so be careful on that one.
I use to own a 2004 Nissan Murano with a CVT engine, so im familiar with the concept of CVT, but, the whine was not nearly as loud as it is in my civic. If i have both windows up, sunroof closed, and A/C off i can hear two different whines, one when i accelerate, and the second one when i let off the gas after aggressive acceleration from 10mph-35mph, its a down whine, and it almost reminds me of a turbo spooling down, which yes i know it has a turbo, but its so small i didnt think you could actually hear it. Though... in parking garages and having the windows down the turbo whistle during acceleration is amazing >

Also, i think if the car is too heavy, lane mitigation and the self driving aspect of the car stop working.
Reason why is because i had three people including myself driving to orlando to pick up two of my friends from the airport, and the lane mitigation and self drive were working perfect, but when we were leaving the airport, this time i had a full car of 5 people in my coupe; which surprisingly was still very comfortable; i put it into drive and then it gave me an error saying its turning off lane mitigation as well as disabling the self drive.
My main concern is the weird rattle at start up. Dont want it to be an engine problem.
Apologies for the long story, but id rather be descriptive then be vague and cause miscommunication
