While driving through an intersection my wife's 2001 Honda Civic's engine died. After several attempts she was able to get it started again, drove it through the intersection and it died again and would not restart. She called aaa to have it towed to the only Honda dealer on our island. We asked the dealership to check and report the cause of the problem. The next day the dealer reported it had a code of "p1362" and need a new cylinder head at a cost of $5300. 00 for parts and labor. Prior to this incident the car always ran fine and was regularly serviced by a dealer. My question "how can a car with 58k miles, running fine suddenly need a new cylinder head? I had the dealer reinstall the cam cover (they charged us $100. 00) and drove it out (yes it was running). I'm worried that this will happen again and cause property damage and/or even loss of lives. If it needs a new cylinder head how can it now be running? I wouldn't imagine a cylinder head problem to be an intermittent issue. When living on a small island (kauai) you're at the mercy of the only dealer in town.
The contact stated vehicle stalled intermittently when the vehicle was placed in neutral. When it stalled the vehicle lost power steering and power brakes. This could have resulted in an accident. The dealership and the manufacturer have been contacted. Technical service bulletin 02-083 was issued for the problem but the dealer requested a diagnostic test at the contact's expense before they would use the technical service bulletin to fix the problem . Updated 1/11/2006. This problem occurred mostly at low altitudes in the summer with the a/c on. The consumer believes the loss of power steering and brakes when in neutral in dangerous and he thinks the vehicle should be recalled.

Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop and again when taking off. Has stalled about 10 times. Taken to dealer 3 times, cannot remedy problem.
I have this reccurring problem of my car stalling when in drive gear when the car is at a slow speed. I have taken my car to the dealer 3 times now, the first time I thought that this was related to the improper fuel gauge reading I was having, which the dealer fixed by replacing the fuel gauge and the odometer. My car has stalled around 6 to 7 times now when it is slow or at a stop. I have to then put the car to park and start the engine again. The dealer has not been able to fix this problem, he does not have any clue, and everytime they try something and say its fixed, whereas the problem still persist. Once the car stalled on the freeway and the car behind almost ran in to me almost causing a fatal accident. Ever since I am really concerned with my and my family's safety. The reason I paid so much money to purchase a Honda vehicle was that Honda is considered one of the safest cars, but my experience states otherwise. I am really annoyed & frustrated by the car. I have paid too much and have had no satisfaction until now. On reading the complaints with Honda 2001 Civics I found that this problem was a common one with the new 2001 Civic ex models.
When braking, car idle drops so low that car tends to hesitate and sometimes stalls. The problem is intermittent. Have taken the car to dealer about 4 times regarding idle and stalling. Pcm was checked each time, and dealer found no codes. Dealer could not replicate problem. Car also stalled and cut off when I was at a traffic light after applying the brakes. I noticed that there was a recall by Honda for the lx and dx regarding a similar problem. Why hasn't Honda looked into the ex model? what could be the problem? could it be the iac? could it be the pcm? I am terrified of driving the car. What if the car cuts off/stalls and an accident occurs? I hope Honda looks into this problem as soon as possible. I am not the only one experiencing this problem with the ex models. A few other people have been, and this is beginning to be a growing concern among Honda consumers. Honda seems to be a reputable car manufacturer, how can they let a problem like this slip through there quality control? I am quite frustrated with the car and all the problems I have been having. The reason I spent so much money on a Honda, is because of quality. Where is the quality? I have even had problems with the driver side car seat rocking back and forth. Dealer finally fixed the problem after 4 attempts. Again I am asking what happened to the quality in a Honda car, where has it gone?.
