Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Honda Civic - part 2

While I was driving on the highway I heard a rattling noise in the engine bay and every single light and system showed a malfunction on my dash. Then I was not able to accelerate and had to roll to a stop. This was extremely dangerous both for me and for the other vehicles on the highway because the speed limit was 55 mph and between not knowing why all of my system warning lights turned on I didn't even notice that I was not accelerating anymore for a few moments. The worst part was that the area in which I was driving had no shoulder and it was by a body of water. When I was relatively safe out of the way I called a tow truck to take me to a repair shop a block away from my residence in the event it was something minor. The first repair shop looked at it and stated it was an engine issue and I should take it to the dealer/repair shop we normally take it to. I then needed to get it towed again to the other shop and the problem was confirmed to be a catastrophic engine failure by the Honda dealer/repair shop which we always take our vehicle to for maintenance (literally got an oil change and filters replaced less than a month prior) and had to pay to get our engine replaced. The original engine is not available for inspection as we had to get it replaced. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer because they stated there was no open recall on our vehicle even if there were other vehicles with the same year make and model with an open recall on an issue that could cause something like this.

The chain stretched and camshaft tensioner had to be replaced. The tech said this could only happen with low or insufficient oil, but every oil change on this car was done on time. There was a previous settlement because this engine has a known defect where fuel gets into the oil. Honda refused to honor the extended warranty agreed to in the settlement because the error codes that came up were po341 cmp sensor a and ckp sensor incorrect phase detected) and we had to pay $2,348. 30 for repair of parts (chain, camshaft tensioner) that should have lasted the life of the vehicle without replacement.

I have been experiencing engine and transmission issues for nearly 2 years. I have under 90k miles and am the 2nd owner since 2017. There is lack of power, speed inconsistencies, sputtering and hesitation upon acceleration. It feels unsafe. I have taken the vehicle in for a diagnosis and they stated it was an issue with the turbo and it has failed. This should not have occurred as the vehicle is under 120k miles. I have since paid to have it repaired at the cost of $5678. 00.

Driving on highway to work when check engine light came on in addition to "emissions system problem", "hill start assist", "power steering issue", etc. When scanned for codes it showed misfire codes p0300, p0301, p0302, p0303, p0304. When spark plugs and coils were changed one set showed signs of rust. The misfires persisted after changing out these parts. When taken to the dealership they stated that the powertrain warranty had been extended to 6yrs from the original date of purchase because of an oil dilution issue. My car was outside of this warranty and the dealer did not offer to help with repairs. I called Honda of America and explained the situation - they also stated that it was outside of warranty. My mechanic has recommended an engine replacement and estimates repair costs over $4000+ for a used engine. Radiator fluid had been topped off 3-4 times this year but we did not realize it was leaking into the engine. A full recall should be issued for this, it is a known issue and Honda is aware of it. The warranty extension is not enough if the issue is going to keep occurring.

About a month ago, I brought my vehicle to a Honda-specialized shop, which has been servicing Hondas exclusively for over 30 years, due to a power steering issue. During the inspection, they informed me that my car is covered under a service bulletin (1048 or 10 048) related to a potential defect in the engine block. The shop mentioned that vehicles with a VIN starting with “1hg” may be eligible for an extended warranty or recall for this issue. I was completely unaware of this situation, as my car has never overheated, and I had no prior indication of any engine-related problems. Following this information, I took the car to a Honda dealership for a diagnostic assessment. The dealership recommended an engine replacement, which would be a costly repair. This recommendation seems perplexing, given that I have consistently taken proper care of the vehicle over the years, and there have been no significant overheating or other apparent engine issues. It appears that there may be a larger issue at play, possibly related to a manufacturing defect, which could be part of a class-action settlement. Based on what I’ve learned, the engine block defect could be due to faulty manufacturing, explaining why the engine block is cracking without any major overheating. I’m concerned that this issue may require significant repairs, but I’m uncertain how to proceed, especially considering the financial burden, as christmas is approaching and I am not in a position to cover such a large expense. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to move forward with this situation, as I am currently unsure of the next steps.

1. Component or system failure: •what component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? •the air conditioning (ac) system in my 2018 Honda Civic has malfunctioned. Initially, the ac compressor failed and was replaced under warranty in 2018. However, the ac never functioned properly afterward. Recently, the ac failed completely, and the dealership diagnosed a leaking evaporator. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. Safety risk: •how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? •the malfunctioning ac system poses a significant safety risk, especially considering the high temperatures in the central valley of California. Driving without a functional ac in extreme heat can lead to driver fatigue, reduced concentration, and potential heat-related illnesses, increasing the risk of accidents. 3. Problem reproduction: •has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? •yes, the problem has been confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership. They diagnosed the issue as a leaking evaporator and provided a repair estimate of $2,520. 16. 4. Inspection by others: •has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? •the vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Honda dealership, which diagnosed the issue. There have been no inspections by police or insurance representatives. 5. Warning indicators: •were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? •there were no warning lamps or messages prior to the ac failure. The only symptom was the ac’s inability to cool the cabin effectively, which persisted since the initial compressor replacement in 2018 and culminated in complete failure recently.

The differential inside the transmission is making a knocking noise and shakes really badly check engine light came on and traction control light both are on and break system light and I have not even had it for a year.

Once again while driving on the interstate at highway speed the car lost power and then died. At first it wouldn’t start and then finally did where it could be slowly driven to an exit for safety. I 100% think this vehicle needs included in the fuel pump recall! this is probably the 30th time it has done this. This is my 19 year old daughter’s car and it is very unsafe. We bought a Honda because we heard they are very good and safe and reliable cars. This hasn’t proven to be that! we can’t afford to just get another car or pay to have it fixed. I know there are many other Hondas with this recall in effect! add this VIN number. I have reported this issue multiple times! do better Honda and fix my daughters car before she gets in an accident that could injure or even kill her!.

Car threw a p0035 code which indicates a problem with the turbo bypass valve solenoid high voltage/circuit. Car suddenly lost power and had many service lights go off. The check engine light, power steering, brakes, stability, and other lights went on. This prevents my car from going over 40 mph without feeling like the car is struggling to accelerate. The dealership couldn't reproduce or confirm the issue when I went in for service. The code will disappear and reappear after a few starts ups. I noticed that the 2017 type r has this recall but I'm noticing a lot of other owners having this issue as well.

My 2016 Honda Civic has a recurring safety-critical defect that began approximately 2–3 weeks after purchase. While turning (most often left turns), the vehicle suddenly shuts off without warning. When this occurs, the power steering assist locks, brake assist is lost, and the electrical system cuts off and then reboots. This has happened more than 5–6 times and nearly caused collisions. I had to apply extreme brake pressure to avoid hitting another vehicle during one incident. The steering becomes rigid, the dashboard goes dark, and the car restarts on its own while still in motion. Before I purchased the vehicle, a diagnostic inspection was performed and no issues were reported. Since owning the car, it has also been taken to a mechanic multiple times, and no diagnostic code or mechanical explanation for this shutdown issue has ever been identified. The defect appears intermittently and leaves no trace or error codes, making it extremely difficult to detect or repair. This is a serious safety hazard that could cause injury or death. The problem appears to be a latent defect that was present at the time of vehicle sale. I am reporting this so NHTSA can investigate whether this is a known issue with this model or whether other consumers have experienced similar sudden shutdowns.

Alarm sounded, went outside with fob to shut off . Still alarm on . Tried to get in car with fob . Had to use key in door to get in . Stepped on brake and pushed start/stop button . Alarm now silent. Push start/stop button to shut off engine and message on dash read keyless start system error. Engine still running. Pushed button again and ac shuts off , engine still running and dash still reading error. Put in driver, then reverse to park and pushed button again and engine shut off finally. Disconnect negative from battery and let sit overnight. Tried to start, but just kept cranking. Disconnect battery again, tried starting again and it started. This time it took me 10 minutes before I could shut off engine. Disconnect battery again and haven’t tried again. I’ve read about other people having the same issues. Most say start/stop switch. Mine is on order, will install ASAP and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

[xxx] VIN has the same issue for transmission failure as for the recall notice issued for all the Honda Honda has issued recalls for certain Honda Civic models with continuously variable transmissions (cvt) due to software issues that may affect the transmission's performance and durability. For example, in 2015, Honda recalled the 2014–2015 Honda Civic and 2015 fit due to an issue with the cvt control software. In some cvt operation modes, the software was programmed to use high hydraulic pressure, which could put a lot of stress on the drive pulley shaft.

Went to Honda dealership to diagnose why white smoke was coming through the ac vent whenever I would turn on the ac. Honda said that my ac condenser went bad, which is covered under the extended warranty due to others having the same issue but that my ac evaporator core was stain and also needs to be replaced. I was quoted $2322. 16 to have the evaporator replaced and it needed to be replaced before they could continue with replaced the condenser and recharged the system for free. Please help as it seems the issue has to do with the new freon Honda is using.

Son driving vehicle. Vehicle suddenly loses power whire moving and not shifting gears.

Lost transmission fluid cap, don’t turn on any sensor light. I realized only because a friend just replace his. He shared the information I check it was gone. I had to buy a new one at Honda. High risk since temperature is super high in California, potential risk to lose all the transmission oil and brake.

Loss of power during drive. Hesitation while acceleration and check engine light on. Unable to accelerate. Fuel pump recall on other same generation models.

Infant mortality of the entire ac system due to faulty components. Cost of repair is $3000+. It is a common, systemic failure on this generation of Honda Civic. Lack of ac in hot regions can lead to unsafe mold growing in the vents as well as heat related illness potentially leading to death. This is a highly hazardous failure with a high likelihood of occurring, so it is unacceptable to allow this situation to continue without a full recall or reimbursement by Honda.

Turbo charger malfunctioned went out.

Oil is leaking and now coolant is leaking. Did not buy the car brand new bought it from a pre owned vehicle dealership.
