One problem related to vehicle shudder has been reported for the 1996 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I just bought this car from the dealer last week (96 Honda Civic with 140,000 mi). I noticed right away that when I press the gas, it revs up a little and catches. Basically, its choppy when I press onto the gas and it sounds like the common recall. It seems dangerous bc it shakes the vehicle a bit.
