general problems of the 2018 Honda Civic - part 2

Honda is failing to resolve the safety recall on my 2018 Civic in a timely fashion. Despite notifying me in February 2024 of an issue related to a faulty fuel pump module, no dealership in my local area was able to make a replacement due to a lack of parts. I received a second notice in October 2024 that parts are now available, yet local dealerships are telling me that they either don't know when parts will be shipped out by Honda or that I'll have to wait until December. As mentioned in the recall, this can lead to various problems such as the engine not starting, vehicle stalling while driving, increased risk of crashing, and emission issues.

It has been 10 months since I was first notified of this fuel pump recall from Honda. The Honda dealership in bel air, maryland still has not received the replacement parts from Honda to correct this problem. What is this delay? this is a serious problem and safety risk. I drive 500 miles a week.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000(fuel system, gasoline); however, the parts for the recall are not yet unavailable. The dealer nor the manufacturer have yet to be notified about the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The contact had yet to be experience a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not yet available.

I believe the dealer/manufacturer has failed to remedy the fuel pump module improperly molded impeller in a timely manner. On 1/29/24 and 4/10/24 I had incidents of my vehicle's engine being prevented from starting. An independent mechanic stated that this was likely related to my vehicle's fuel pump recall. I contacted Honda customer service shortly after the 1/29/24 incident by telephone and I was told that unless a Honda mechanic diagnosed my issue as definitively related to the fuel pump, there was no recourse to expedite the repair. I was not assured that there would be no diagnostic charge associated with the inspection by a Honda repair person. Following the 4/10/24 incident, I contacted nucar Honda in norwood, MA to attempt to expedite the repair for my vehicle. I was told to bring in the vehicle several days later. The week of April 16 I brought the vehicle in and was told I would need to pay a diagnostic charge if they did not find a fuel pump issue in my vehicle, which is not what the recall specialist had said. I left and following consultation with the recall specialist the next day, I returned with my vehicle in hopes of expediting the recall repair for my vehicle. At that point and following my additional calls on 5/22/24 and in the following days, I was told that the safety recall repair parts were still not readily available and would likely be ready "at the end of the summer" or "best case scenario at the end of July. " as I have contacted Honda and the local dealership since the end of January/beginning of February 2024 for a safety recall repair that is estimated to be available only half a year later, this is outside what is noted by the NHTSA as a reasonable amount of time.

I have a recall for the fuel pump and the dealership is refusing to do the repair , it’s been 6 months.

The engine light pops up on the dashboard stating an “emissions” issue. When scanned, it says that the fuel pump is malfunctioning.

I was driving from work, when pressing the gas pedal would not accelerate the vehicle. I was passing over a bridge when the problem occurred. It was in heavy traffic and near a onramp for a busy interstate. I arrived at a stop light before the onramp, and different warning lights on my dash lit up. There were no warning lights on prior to this moment. I tried starting the car again with my hazard lights on, but it would not "turn over". I assumed that either my battery/alternator was having problems or the engine was not receiving fuel to start. Traffic was too heavy for me to get out of my car and thankfully, no one hit me or my car. After trying to jump the car, I had it towed to a small mechanic recommended to me that night. The next morning, I was informed that the codes indicated a problem with the fuel pump and that Honda had a safety recall out. They said to tow it to a certified dealer to get the problem fixed. The Honda dealership received the car that day, after closing, and I called the next morning. I was told that the dealership could not touch my car because the recall was not official. I asked about a loaner car or reimbursement for a rental car and informed that they would get back to me soon with an answer and I should call Honda customer care. I was informed that yes the dealership should be able to assess my car and though the recall is not out yet, they could fix it and I would pay out of pocket to be reimbursed when the recall became official. After multiple days and calls, they finally ran the diagnostic codes and confirmed that the fuel pump is affected and that the recall is the culprit, but they could not fix it because it was not official and they did not have the parts. I was finally told last night that they could order parts and fix it by Friday. Customer care called again today, telling me they do not know how to fix it. No other transportation has been offered and having one vehicle has put a strain on my wife and I.

I was first informed that there was a recall on my 2018 Honda Civic for a fuel system problem back in December 2023. When no information came from Honda USA as to when the dangerous problem would be repaired, I was told by the dealership that the repair would be completed at the latest by April. It is now the end of may and there still no word on when the Honda dealer will have the parts to repair the defect.

Dealer canceled twice morehead Honda did little to fix my problem. They asked me to call parts department daily to check if correct part came in. Poor customer service and terrible communication.

There has been a recall for the fuel pump of my year: 2018 make: Honda model: Civic sedan, however I have continuously reached out to various Honda service and was told the part is still unable. Based on the recall information, if the fuel pump module is inoperative, the engine may not start or can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Does it take for an injury or death for me and my loved ones for me to finally get the part repaired at Honda's cost?.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic sedan. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 23v858000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.  VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Replacement for fuel pump unavailable. Issue not able to be resolved timely. I'm on a waitlist for the replacement part indefinitely (coming up on 1 year since recall was announced).

Contacted Honda corporate multiple times including the dealer , no remedy to ensure the safety of my vehicle which is at risk of stalling during operation related to national recall of fuel pump indicating the vehicle is unsafe to operate. Case manager from Honda corporate uninformed, disengaged and rude. No transportation accommodations, no call or follow ups . Dealer not available to provide inspection or repairs. Vehicle is unsafe to operate leaving my family abandoned with no options in a vehicle I am making payments on.

It's been a year and my dealership still does not have the part needed to fix the issue from the recall on my vehicle. I do not feel safe operating my vehicle and this is my only means of transpiration. I rely on my car to get me to work and everywhere else.

My car engine light has been on for months and im unable to get a inspection because of my fuel pump recall. My car has stalled multiple times on the road and is a cery serious safety issue. I have contacted Honda multiple times about this and they keep saying they do not have the parts its been well over a year since I have received this recall notice and over 6-7 months since my engine light has been on. I have also received a letter from Honda saying the parts are in stock and to call to make an appointment but when I do they still claim they do bot have the part in stock.

The fuel injectors do not work!.

Fuel injectors failed at 60,000 miles. I do have the failed injectors. The driver's safety was put at risk in the case of engine failure or an unexpected loss of power. This is a common problem documented by owners of the 10th generation Civic si, other 1. 5l turbo Hondas, as well as Honda itself. There was an emission light several weeks ago and an engine light a couple of days ago.

Fuel injectors failed before 50k miles. Dealer states this is a common issue seen with these vehicles and is replaced often. Car has unsteady acceleration and jumps with acceleration. Vehicle has had stalling issues when accelerating forward as well. There are no warning messages that appeared on the dash and the car did not cue any codes. This is an extreme driving hazard as it is causing fuel injection issues and a fire hazard while operating the vehicle.

My Honda is only at 80,000 miles and my fuel pump has gone bad already and I wanted to look into this as I feel it’s not right to have my car die in me so early in it’s life for something that should last much longer.

Strong smell of fuel in the cabin due to known Honda oil dilution associated with the 1. 5 turbo engine. Honda has a “fix” for issue but states only cold weather states are affected. Our 2018 Honda Civic has had this issue for over 2 years now. Strong smell of fuel in the oil, along with oil above normal mark on dipstick. On oil change, oil is filled to the normal mark (3. 7 quarts) and upon oil change, 4. 5 quarts will come out (likely fuel in the oil). The major safety issue is that the smell of fuel in the cabin is strong to the point of causing driver and passengers to have burning eyes, and in some occasions, dizziness. No warning lights have come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle was taken to dealership over a year ago and dealership stated this is a problem in cold weather states and not in California. Dealership could not replicate issue.

Fuel injectors are fouled up at 25k miles, and cause misfires. Problem had been noted on other Honda vehicles and recall had been issued for the 6 cylinder cars, but not for Civics or 4 cylinder cars. Check engine light, and emissions system warning.

Actuator assy. , fuel lid (fuel fill door lock actuator). Repeatedly locks and unlocks (making a gun shot noise loudly) every time I get in and out of the vehicle. Yes, it is available for inspection at any time. My safety or the safety of others could be at risk with the open gas cap, constant moving electrical components, and to be left stranded unable to open the gas door. The problem was talked about with the Honda dealership. They said it was a common problem. That Honda knows about. No warning lamps or any notification.

Under acceleration from a stop, a strong smell of gasoline enters the cabin of the vehicle, causing the occupants watery eyes, headaches and dizziness at times. The smell comes an goes intermittently. Oil from the engine has a strong smell of gasoline, and oil level increases with driving. No engine codes are shown and no visible fuel leaks on engine bay. Honda dealership drove vehicle for 5 minutes and problem smell was not noticed then. Honda dealership stated oil dilution problems with this engine only occur in cold weather states.

We believe our issue was caused by wiring harnesses coated in soy-based bio-plastics. In late June 2021 our 2018 Honda Civic emitted a strong odor of gasoline. The gasoline odor was detected 15 feet away from the vehicle. Noxious gasoline fumes were inhaled while driving and posed a health risk to driver and passengers, as well as possible fire hazard due to fumes. On June 30, 2021, the Honda Civic was taken to a local Honda dealership for service. It was inspected and signs of mouse damage on top & battery blanket were detected. Honda replaced fuel lines, pipe set fuel & applied rodent tape. No vehicle warnings, lamps or messages alerted us to the problem. It was the strong odor of gasoline that warned us of a problem. Cost to vehicle owner to repair: $1568 on a vehicle that was under warranty.

There is fuel leaking into engine oil and thinning it out. My mechanic said there's a software issue causing it but a recall hasn't happened for it. It's hurting my car performance and making my car speed up faster even when breaking.

The fuel door actuator started to make a loud buzzing noise at 38,500 miles after 2 years and 3 months of use. The actuator failed because it is locking and unlocking constantly with the vehicle. This is a common complaint with all Hondas that utilize this function for the fuel door.

My car stutters when I turn on cold start and when I accelerate on any gear it stutters like the fuel is cutting off. And for my transmission it's hard to change gears then it's normal then it's hard randomly.

First oil change at 4965mi. Indicates odor of gasoline coming from the oil dipstick in the engine compartment.

While vehicle is stationary for a few days, the back windshield shattered out of nowhere. The fuel system has been getting error codes. Air conditioning also runs hot instead of cold sometimes. Engine light comes on a lot.

The oil dipstick smells of gasoline. The turbo charger technology is allowing gas to push past the oil and into the engine. Oil and gas shouldn't be mixing.

Emissions system problem, car is acting weird and giving a kick back when driving.

2018 Honda Civic hatchback, gasoline smell in cabin occurred on 8/16/2019. 1. 5l oil dilution could be cause of issue.

In July 2020 I took my car to lancaster Honda in lancaster, CA for routine maintenance. They pointed out that there was a recall and they would order the part and call me to schedule an appointment for the repair. Nothing happened. In October 2020 I made an appointment for the recall repair stating exactly what I needed done. The day before they called to confirm the appointment. I took the car in on the scheduled appointment day and the customer service agent said no part had been ordered and the repair could not be done. I said you confirmed the appointment with me so why would you do that if you did not have the part. He apologized and said they would order the part and contact me to schdule the appointment to put it in. It is now mid November and I have still heard nothing from the dealership.

Accelerating up to 60 mph car began to jerk violently. Flashing check engine light came on and all control of gas petal was lost until car slowed to under 20 - 25 mph. Obd2 codes pulled and reported misfiring in cylinder 1. Car not able to be driven under any normal conditions as misfiring has intensified. 2018 Honda Civic si.

Oil diluted with fuel (3/4" above the full mark on the dipstick) - this is a problem with Honda's 1. 5 turbo engine (civic, crv). Others with this issue have reported their vehicles stalling while driving at 70 mph -- definitely a safety issue.
