Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Honda Civic

I have had the vehicle for 4 years and kept up on maintenance; the last maintenance was performed in March 2020. I was driving the vehicle on a city street (2-way street) and started hearing a clicking noise and smelled smoke. The front passenger then noticed flames outside of his window. I tried to stop the vehicle but the breaks wouldn't work. I was able to coast the vehicle to a nearby street opening and we were luckily able to escape. The vehicle went up in flames and exploded at least once before the fire department arrived. The vehicle is a total loss. According to the fire report, the cause of the fire is, "failure of equipment or heat source"; the listed area of fire origin is, "engine area, running".

I went to go start my vehicle after leaving work at 4 am, 5/9/2019. Upon trying to start my vehicle, the brake pedal was stiff. I could not start the vehicle. My car's lights started flashing, with a weird clicking noise being made. On the dashboard, the system started stating "electric parking brake problem". "manual brake problem", "stability problem", and a couple other errors. The vehicle was stationary, and upon doing research, this has been an issue with 2016-2018 Honda Civics. The emergency brake was not on, and I have never used that feature. At the time of this complaint, my vehicle is sitting in my work's full parking lot, and I am stranded.

I was driving on the freeway and heard a clicking noise. By the time I pulled off the freeway the oil light was on. My car then died and soon found the car had overheated. I took it to Honda and they said it is probably a cracked engine block but were unable to investigate further because it had been more than 8 years since the extended warranty was offered for this problem.

Purchased car with 136 miles on it. Noticed the brakes made a popping sound when pedal was depressed, also a noise was heard when the car was put into different gears. Took it in several times and was told nothing is wrong. Maybe you are pressing to hard on the brakes. Third month in I went back again for the gear shift noise and was told thats just how these Civics sound.

2006 Honda Civic. Consumer writes in regards to engine problems. The consumer stated while driving back from a trip, she heard a slight ticking noise and the vehicle would not accelerate and it gradually slowed down. She pulled over to the side of the road, where her husband lifted and tried to check the oil, but there wasn't mush left of the dipstick. The vehicle was towed to the nearest repair facility. A diagnosis revealed a dead engine. The cost of replacing the engine was near the value of the vehicle. So, she and her husband, decided not to have the vehicle fixed.

The vehicle gas gauge fluctuated between half a tank and a fourth of a tank within short periods of time and did not really move during long distance trips. The front shock made noises, the front spring was weak, there was a noise coming from the power steering pump, and a ticking noise in the engine.

When I bought the car it had 9,000 miles on it. The dealer bought it from an auction. I was hearing some tapping noise coming from hood. When I took my car for oil changed I asked the dealer about the tapping noise. They said it wasn't important and not dangerous. I took my car back to the dealer a week later and they said that they need to take the oil pan out to determine the problem. Later on they called me and said that "I drove the car in a puddle or I had a flood -which never happened-because they diagnosed" water damaged which caused cylinder # 3 connecting rod is bent and it is very dangerous to drive it. The engine needs to be replaced" I have a factory and extended warranty but Honda denies to cover it. My insurance company inspected the car and didn't see any "water damage". The insurance company also denied the cover the expense. I am very unhappy about the situation. Please feel free to advise me what to do. Thank you.

When the consumer started the vehicle it made a clank noise, which was due to a piston slap.

I purchased a 2001 Honda Civic coupe ex, in November 2000. It has been nothing but problems ever since. Ive been to two different Honda service centers almost 20 times now. The car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes. The car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted. Then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of Honda, after they assured me that my car was fine. This has been an ongoing problem with Honda. They fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing. The car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, Honda finds nothing. The windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, Honda finds nothing. All four tires are leaking, Honda at first find nothing wrong, now say I have to replace tires. The driver's seat is loose and rocking, Honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, Honda finds nothing wrong. Seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety. Now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny. I think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost. Im very concerned for my safety at this point. I even reached out to Honda consumer affairs in California, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while I had the rental, to report the rental stolen because I asked if I could hold the rental until Honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of Honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by Honda that day as well) I am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten. There are numerous other problems I didn't list here, too many to list. I would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you.
