general problems of the 2013 Honda Civic

I was driving 35 mph toward a busy intersection when I lost my brakes and power. A service message “ima check systems” light lit up on the dash. I lost brakes and power while entering an intersection putting myself and other drivers in danger of an accident narrowly missing a container truck. The car shut off with my front end in the intersection. I was able to restart the car and drive it to the nearest garage. They connected the code machine to the vehicle showing “p1437. ” I then had my car towed to the nearest Honda dealership. They told me my VIN was not listed under service bulletin 20-030 even though my car fit all of the parameters and showed the same code(s). After giving me a quote of $1900+ to fix the issue, they are claiming to have fixed the problem but I am questioning if the real issues were fixed and if I am responsible for any costs.

The hybrid motor DC to DC convert failed. When this fails it stops providing 12 v power to the rest of the vehicle resulting in multiple systems stopping or working very slowly. This vehicle does not have a traditional alternator. There was a TSB and an extended warranty offered to some models, but not all included in the VIN range for this vehicle. The vehicle was scanned and pulls the same codes as the TSB notes as the issue.

Evap system light also comes on at lower temperatures, and sporadically at warmer temperatures. It used to happen only once every couple of weeks, but now it comes on (and eventually turns off again) every day. Throws the codes p0497 - evaporative emission system low purge flow and p145c - fuel tank pressure sensor range/performance problem. I've had my purge flow valve replaced, and not even two months later both errors have come back. My mechanic has looked at the car and cannot figure out what's going on, but lots of people online are having the same issue, which makes me think it's not just me.

Ac compressor /condenser system - endangers engine as it can cause overheating in engine. Should have similar warranty for original parts as the Honda Civic ac recalls for 2016-2019 models.

Put the car into reverse, backed up, put the car into drive, applied pressure to the gas peddle, then car then jerked, shook, had to pull over to let car rest, drove slow back home. Since then around 3000 rpm the car will hesitate. Replaced spark plugs, put in sea foam engine cleaning solution diagnostic computer does not show anything wrong.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds over 40 mph the vehicle had suddenly switched to the limp mode causing the speed to reduce to under 15 mph. The failure had occurred multiple times while driving on the highway. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer penske Honda(4140 e. 96th st. Indianapolis in) who had replaced four engine cylinder heads, spark plugs and the ckr unit but the failure continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 130,000. Jft.

Hard gear shifter, difficult to put car from park to drive.

I was making a left hand u-turn in the city on main street when in the middle of my turn my dash lights turned off my brakes wouldn't work and I lost power steering and acceleration. It felt like the car turned off. Lucky there was nobody coming the other way because I was stopped in the middle of the road and could not accelerate. Once I was at a complete stop in the middle of oncoming traffic the dash lights turned back on and I was able to accelerate. However when I was trying to park to check the car, any slight movement of the steering wheel would make my headlights almost turn off because it was like it was drawing a lot of extra power for some reason to turn the steering wheel. I then parked for about 20 minutes and turned the car back on with no problem. I went to a parking lot to see if I could re-create what happened but I could not. I went home and read a bunch of complaints with this same problem with nobody having a solution. So I have not taken my car to the dealership because I feel like I will get the same answer. Which is we don't see anything wrong and we cannot re-create the situation.

While my wife was driving down route 55 in south jersey at highway speed (approx. 55 mph), the vehicle started to shake uncontrollably and engine power was diminished. Was able to slowly get off nearby exit and drive to parking lot. Vehicle almost did not make it up exit ramp. Towed to dealership. Diagnosis was #2 cylinder had failed. Car only had just over 63,000 miles on it. Not covered under warranty but Honda eventually covered 50% ($2,545. 30). Car was garaged kept and all scheduled maintenance done. I wanted to report this because I think it is a safety issue since it happened without warning and the car could not keep up with dangerous highway traffic. Also, I would like it on record in case there are other reports of similar failures which may indicate a manufacturing defect, especially since it occurred on a well-maintained, garage kept car at only 63,000 miles. I have uploaded a copy of the repair order indicating what components failed and were replaced.

I have had several issues with the transmission of my 2013 Honda Civic si. The first issue was the transmission broke, the dealer repaired it, busted out my windshield and dented up the fenders, it took them a year to fix every thing. The second time the transmission broke it is the shift cable. They have now sent a Honda corporate investigator to determine if some how I created the damage. The car has only 23000 miles on it and I baby this thing. I am concerned if the cable has snapped while driving it a highway speeds, would I be here to complain about it now. I may have to get an attorney because this vehicle is technically a lemon. I am scared to drive it anymore, and I really want to get a better car.

Was driving on the highway at 55-60 mph. Wanted to press "hazard warning button" and by accident pressed the "engine start/stop button". Because "hazard warning lights" did not start flashing I automatically pressed the "engine start/stop button" second time - the engine turned off. Since engine was off brakes stopped working and power steering stopped working as well. There is no way to turn engine on while car was moving - as you can do it only when the transmission on "p" (parking) - and you cannot switch transmission into "p" (mode) when car is moving at 60 mpg. By luck I was able to pull car over without accident. I understand that maybe I was stupid and that is my mistake that by accident I pressed a wrong button, however, there should be no way the engine can go off while car is moving under any conditions and any drivers actions because it directly may leads to a crash which could be avoid only by a luck. I consider it is as extremely serious safety issue which should be immediately investigated and fixed.

Attention to all who read & complain about our 2013 Honda Civic. Go to your internet & search drive by wire. Then you will know why our car drives so awful and yes, accident prone. Our vehicles - news flash - are manufactured with the new (well, around 2003-ish) (not real sure now) drive by wire. My old 1997 Honda Civic would drive this 2013 in the ground. It's new technology. No more drive by throttle. If you want your power, either get a manual transmission or get an old car. Peace to all who read. (( I knew something was weird with the car immediately after driving it for 13 miles - but I couldn't figure it out till I did research and boy, was I enlightened. So, loss of power - which I did file a formal complaint because I thought something was seriously wrong with the vehicle, but then I found out - OH, nice, new technology. You can also find out the information on any blog for any Honda owner - who is a serious mechanic )) drive by wire - known as dbw or our old way of cars - drive by throttle - or dbt.

Sometimes when I slow down to make a left or right turn, I press the accelerater and nothing happens. This has been happening since I purchased the car. It does not happen every time, but when it does you feel helpless until you are able to accelerate again (within a second or two). I have learned to compensate , but this could cause a major accident.
