general problems of the 2013 Honda Civic

The car would cut out while in motion during a turn. (it looks like I'm stalling). Other times I will be driving straight and feel the care losing power the more I pushed on the gas. Once I let my foot off it would have power to go again. This happens more often while on city streets then highway speeds. In March, when I went to start car the car dashboard went mad flashing and the car wouldn't start. I was able to jump start the car. I changed the battery and it continues to stall. I notice that the newer vehicles are doing the same thing and wonder if its the same issue that needs addressing.

I have noticed that my Honda Civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. You press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). It does this all the time. I noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. It does this while driving on regular streets and on highways. The car shakes a lot when the ac is on. You turn the ac off and it stops shaking. The cars engine is full of rust thanks to Honda for using cheap parts to make this car. I have searched this and there are several Hondas with the same issue of several engine parts being rusted.

For the second time in as many months, I have been driving my car when suddenly the vsa warming light has come on, followed by the transmission fluid warning light. The first time this occurred, I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment complex and checked the owners manual for my Civic for any information. It suggested that I wait several minutes and the restart the car. I waited for 10 minutes and restarted my car. Both lights had gone out and I was able to get to the local carmax dealer, where I'd purchased this car. The service center could not look at my car then, but the technician set an appointment for me for the next Monday and reassured me that I would "probably" be fine until then. When that day came I was told that the car would need to be looked at by an authorized Honda dealer, autonation Honda, but that carmax would cover the cost because the car was still under their limited warranty. Days later, I took the car to autonation and they updated the vehicle's software for the vsa. Today, October 22, 2017, I was driving to visit family when the vsa light came on again, immediately followed by the transmission fluid warning light. Once again, I pulled over as soon as possible and turned off the car for 10 minutes. During that time I called and left messages for both my carmax and autonation contacts and told them what had happened. When I started the car again, both lights were off. I have been looking to see if there have been others having the same problem and have found many people who share the same problem. Honda appears to have ignored this issue in later model cars and I feel this is severely dangerous!.

I was driving and made a turn on a city street and suddenly the car auto-accelerated to a high speed and the brakes did not stop it nor the hand-brake. It only stopped when it hit against another car. I bought the car 3 months ago from the Honda dealership and it was a certified Honda vehicle.

Wthile driving and slowing to make a left turn at a flashing yellow light intersection and being an automatic transmission, I drive two footed, for quicker response time. Upon stepping on accelerator the vehicle hesitates for 3-4 seconds before picking up speed. When taken to the dealer, I am told it is a 2 footed driver issue and nothing they can be done. I have left it 24 hours and been told, 'no problem found'. I have had to change my habits to allow for it. It is intermittent, and if it is a 2 footed issue, why intermittent? I have not have not changed to 1 foot driving? should be always. I am highly considering getting a different brand vehicle. I do not feel safe in this one.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration attempts. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle erroneously decelerated while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 4,000. The current mileage was 5,200.
