My car randomly lost power in the middle of the freeway forcing me to turn on hazards and make my way from the express lane to the nearest off ramp going 20 mph while trying to avoid an accident. My check engine light began to flash rapidly causing further anxiety. Fortunately I was able to make my way to safety and call a tow truck. I attempted to have my car delivered to the nearest Honda (walnut creek CA) however they did not have any availability for a few days. The car also had lots of smoke coming out the exhaust and read check engine oil level on and off. It was a nightmare and who knows what it's going to cost me to repair. On top of all the work I'll loose being my work relies on my car 100%. I've owned nothing but Hondas however this time I feel I made a bad purchase buying a new 2017 Civic. I've kept up with maintenance, only goes to dealership, pumped nothing but premium gasoline. I am sad, upset, angry, anxious and very much still in disbelief that this is happening to my 3 year old car at only 80,000 miles . What can I do? is anyone else having same issue? I got a code p0299 turbo underboost.

Over the last year my 2016 Honda Civic felt like it wanted to stall while driving on the freeway. I didn't know if something was wrong until it did it when my husband drove it. A few weeks ago I got an oil change and 2 days later I went grocery shopping and my car would not start it finally did and I made it home. Later that afternoon I started my car and my cabin filled with the worse smell of gas and my granddaughter gagged. My dipstick for oil smelt I f gas too. I googled this and found out that there is an oil dilution problem with this model. I took my car to my local dealer and they checked it and said nothing is wrong basically because it did not throw a code and check engine light is not on. Honda has not recalled thus but they know there is a problem and they are offering a update but only to owners back east in cokd weather states. Well I know something is wrong and my dealer said I cant get update unless they see that code. I can't contact Honda directly because they are unavailable I may live in southern California but I live in t he mountains and its cold and snowy here 6 to 8 months out of the year so I should be entitled to this upgrade also. But local dealer can't do anything so now I drive it and cause more harm to my engine I am aware there is a class action lawsuit on Honda fir thus oil dilution issue and b they need to do a recall. I c wantbmy car fixed. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

The car randomly displays a check emissions system and check transmission systems error on the dashboard while driving. The check engine light comes on and the "d" indicator on the display flashes. When the check transmission systems error displays the car does not shift as it should. I took it to my mechanic and he couldn't find anything wrong with the engine or transmission, and no error codes came up on his computer. I called the dealership and they said a software update is needed. I am concerned about wear and tear on the engine and/or transmission due to these issues.

8/4/2014 dear american Honda motor company, inc. I am a proud Honda owner, and I chose Honda as my auto of choice for its compact size, its known reliability as well as great gas mileage. I have been holding on your customer service line @ 1-800-999-1009 for quite a while and a few days, and I have been unable to speak to a customer service representative, so I am in this letter corresponding my concerns to you. I own a 1997 Honda Civic lx which I purchase in 6/12/2006 new. My Honda has just legitimately clocked 90 thousand miles as of 8/4/2014, so I am queried I would be having problems. I was recently informed by a Honda dealer as well as I checked and read on line that Honda issued a recall on these models for transmission problems as well as the paint chipping off in several areas. I never received any kind of notification from Honda nor had an opportunity to have my Honda checked for these problems, although I had my Honda serviced in 3 major pennsylvania Honda dealership service departments on a regular basis. It was never reported as a major concern to me, my auto check engine light is on and off and the car stutters and jerks while accelerating indicating problems, I can drive without a major incident doing neighborhood chores or physicians office visits if the auto is going 40 mps or under, and when taken to be serviced by me and checked, it is not showing up. Recently my auto bogged down on the highway only going 50 mphs while the speed limit is 70, I was frightened by this occurrence and I felt the auto was going to stop and I would be unable to get out of harms way! I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and I am asking for ¿goodwill repairs¿� concerning these problem as well as a repair for the chipping paint. Would you please get in touch with me so these can be resolved?.

Know problem with 2006 Honda Civics that Honda failed to recall-- cracked engine block caused 2006 Civic ex coupe to overheat and break down in raleigh nc. Was stranded for 4 hours in a potentially dangerous part of town and had to have car towed. Honda extended the warranty on the block rather than recall it. Car is currently at the Honda dealer and says that the head is warped due to the overheating. I called Honda of America but they stated that they will not cover this expensive collateral damage of the warped head because they only extended the warranty on the block even though the faulty block caused the head damage. Honda representative on the phone implied that I had been negligent in some way, perhaps by ignoring a check engine light causing the damage. I bought the car new in 2006 and never had a check engine light until the moment the car broke down. Honda is acting irresponsibly with this issue.

The check engine light came on while we were on the highway. After checking the code and the fluids we continued driving with no issues. The code did not say anything about the transmission going out. After 15 miles the cars transmission gave out with no warning leaving us stranded in a town with no Honda dealership.

Day1: I have a 2010 Honda Civic ex-l sedan with mileage of 95-100k. I was traveling at approximately 40-mph (best guess-timate), the vehicle check engine light came on, green light next to drive (d) began flashing and vsa indicator was lit too; vehicle seemed to be a bit jerky shifting. Took it into Honda and they changed transmission fluid, as well as replaced the 3rd gear pressure switch. Day 3: I experienced a similar problem, with the additional symptom of the speedometer display fluctuating wildly / reading too low or zero values. The local Honda dealership performed a computer update, cleared error codes, and a 10-min test drive did not recreate the issue. Day4: while gently accelerating to 45-mph, my check engine light appeared and the speedometer abruptly dropped to near "zero". It was at this point that the transmission abruptly down-shifted to either 1st or 2nd gear and caused the tires to screech (as if I had jammed on the brakes, but I had not). The abrupt deceleration of my vehicle nearly caused an accident with the car behind me, who was also accelerating and narrowly avoided rear-ending my vehicle (I imagine because of the sudden deceleration without warning of brake lights). This time, before returning to dealership, I performed online research and when I did return to that dealership, I suggested they check the engine's speed sensor. Sure enough, they ended up replacing the speed sensor and haven't had the problem since (3 weeks now). I'm reporting now because of my concern this malfunction could occur to someone else and cause their vehicle to be rear-ended.

Sudden acceleration: I have been observing that the vehicle suddenly accelerates while driving downhill or merging on the highway. I have also noticed that it will accelerate when you turn off the cruise control. The speed is uncontrollable for few seconds before the engine starts the deceleration. I have taken a vehicle to the dealer twice and they have assured that this is normal function since check engine light is not on. The vehicle is 1. 5 yrs old and has @15k miles on it.

Two days ago I was pulling into a parking space in a grocery store parking lot. I was slowing the car down using the brakes. As I turned into the parking space I applied pressure on the brakes, the brakes became soft and suddenly the engines rpms increased and began jumping between 3000 rpms to 4000 rpms. The car began to move forward even though I had the brakes fully depressed and I was in danger of hitting other cars or people. I immediately put the car in neutral and the rpms jumped even higher. I turned the engine off and after a few seconds the engine stopped. I re-started it and drove to the Honda dealership. They have had the car for two days and can not find the problem (or so they say). This is the second time in 8 weeks this has happened in this car (see complaint number 10435619). This was not pedal error. My foot was only on the brake. After doing a google search I see hundreds of similar complaints. Honda is not admitting that there is a problem with the software in their cars but there is. Please look into this before too many people get killed. I could have easily run over the 2-3 people walking in front of me if I hadn't been through this before and knew to put the car in neutral right away. Both times when I put my foot on the brake I felt the brakes soften and the engine suddenly revved. It appears to me that there is some glitch in their software that tells the engine to downshift when braking. Instead of downshifting the engine accelerates. Something is clearly wrong with this car. Unfortunately the check engine light does not come on so Honda can not find the error. Clearly if you do a google search there is a serious problem out there with these Hondas.

I would drive on the freeway and my temperature gauge would fluctuate and return to normal. I investigated the matter online and found other owners of the same car had the same problems with the thermostat needing to be replaced so I intended to buy a new one. Then when I would hit bumps in the road my electronics would malfunction. The radio (not cd) would turn off. I would have to turn in back on. Then on 10/23/2011 I merged onto the freeway traveling at approximately 45 mph and accelerating normally. There was traffic so I could not accelerate very fast. That is when my electrical components began to completely fail. The dash alarms would blink on and off, my check engine light never came on. The car jerked forward a few times. I felt clicking in the peddles and steering column. At once all the electrical and engine shut off. I had no gauges, no electrical, and no power of any kind. That's when I pulled over to the shoulder of the freeway. I noticed smoke rising from the hood. Then it grew into a fire. I immediately tried to escape the cabin of the car. I couldn't exit from the driver side because of traffic. I climbed over to the passenger side. At this time the fire had engulfed the engine area and was coming into the cabin. I exited the passenger side door and ran from the vehicle as it was burning. The entire car became engulfed with fire. Nothing was left of it when the fire department came. It was completely consumed by the fire. I'm really at a loss as to why it would do this? I took really good care of my car. I have papers that prove I just recently had the necessary maintenance on it. This never should have happened.

Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds she noticed the engine light illuminate and then the vehicle suddenly lost power and then stalled. The contact was able to continue driving, but the vehicle suddenly stalled again when she arrived in a parking lot. The vehicle was inspected by a independent mechanic and they advised her that they would recharge the battery, but that may not be the failure. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic the next day and it stalled 3 times on the way there. On the 3rd stall it was unable to be driven and was then towed to a dealer. They advised her that the tddc cylinder code had stalled for the cam shaft cylinder sensor. The vehicle was repaired for the cam shaft sensor. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. Tb.

Transmission failed while driving on highway at 60mph. Car would not shift into gear and check engine light signaled. There were no warnings whatsoever. This appears to be correlated to many others complaints with the 2001 Honda Civics. I was fortunate to not have been seriously hurt when my car came to a stop. I feel as though this is a defect that needs to be recalled.

I have around 95k miles on my Honda, there have been no problems to date. I was driving out of town, going uphill, when my engine light began flashing. I pulled over immediately and turned the car off. We got a tow to the Honda dealer on Saturday 3/27/10, today 3/29/10 they called to inform me it was a cracked engine block that will cost approximately $5000 to repair (no longer under warranty). I began researching online and noticed I was not alone, I saw hundreds of threads complaining of the same problem and referencing service bulletin 08-044. The fact that it is a well known, documented issue and not recalled is outrageous!.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. While having the vehicle inspected the contact was informed that the check engine light appeared on the dashboard. The vehicle was not diagnosed and there were no prior warnings. The failure mileage was 56000 and the current mileage was 57000.

My cars transmission if failing again, back in 2010 is when it first started, I was on my way to work, then all of a sudden my car wouldn't move and I was pressing down on the gas pedal, only the acceleration gauge was moving. I called my dad and told him what had happened, so he took it to a mechanic and he said I needed a new transmission, so I had it replaced and the cost came out of my own pocket, and now two years later the same thing is happening again, the car jerks when shifting gears and the check engine light is on again. . . .

I own a 2001 Honda Civic lx sedan. The car has about 81000 miles on it. On may 2nd 2009, the car just stopped in the middle of the road and the check engine light came on. I towed it to the nearest auto shop. The diagnostic test revealed the codes to be p0740 and p0730, which I am told, indicate a broken torque converter and a faulty transmission. I then took the car to Honda in mission valley, san diego. The service technician recommended replacing the transmission unit. When I enquired the reasons for this, the technicians only response was badluck. He quoted the price for the replacement as $2600. On may 4th, I opened a case with american Honda, mainly because the car has only 81k miles on it, is not very old and I have records for all the recommended services for the car. Above all, a car just stopping in the middle of the road without any sort of warning is a major safety hazard. Given the circumstances, I am grateful that no one was injured due to the mechanical malfunction. The next day, a case manager from Honda, mr. Sergio suarez, contacted me. We spoke for close to an hour, without being able to reach any mutually favorable resolution. While I appreciate mr. Suarezs polite demeanor, he was ultimately indifferent about analyzing my case. Mr. Suarez did not even request to see the service records for the vehicle. It seemed to me like he had already made his conclusions before talking to me and never intended to address my concerns. Mr. Suarez, in fact, at the end of the call notified me that I am not a customer of Honda and that Honda has no obligations towards my vehicle or me.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph the vehicle stalled and the check engine light came on.

1. No prior warning, other than a slight lurch while accelerating while merging onto the freeway earlier the same day. 2. &3. Transmission failure/ p0370 incorrect gear ratio resulting in a pulling lurching sensation while attempting to accelerate. Was unable to accelerate past 10mph without avoiding the lurching, had to pull off the road and be towed to the nearest residential area then get it towed in the morning to a mechanic within 3-4 miles of where I was parked. The check engine light was indeed on and was turned off once the error code was retrieved by the triple a mechanic, who recorded it as a p0370 incorrect gear ratio issue. As it is a transmission problem, Honda's policy is to replace the transmission entirely. At this point, I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Honda dealership, because it was a far more serious problem than I had anticipated. However, since the check engine light is off now and with it, the error code, Honda's service center has stated that nothing can be done by them until the check engine light reappears and the lurching occurs again. I was told that whether that happened on a side street or freeway, it was of no concern to them and that the situation was out of their hands. The situation I have with my car mirrors the experience of the many 2001 Honda Civic owners, hence my concern and frustration with the airport marina Honda dealership. My major concern is that I will have to force a lurching, jerking car safely off the freeway before Honda wishes to deal with my vehicle again.
