On 10-31-19, driving my 2016 Honda Civic 1. 5 turbo engine taking my kids to school. Car was driving well, until a reach about 1 mile, while making a left turn the car loss power and can only drive up to 15 mph. I have to drive my car back home and get my other car. The Honda never regains normal power. The same date in the evening, I drove the Honda for about 3 miles around my neighborhood and never loss power. The following date, I drove the car and suddenly again loss power while making a right turn a block away from my house. Drove back my Honda back to my house with the car never regaining normal power. The Honda Civic only drives well for less than a quarter mile and then suddenly loss power, especially when making a turn. This is a safety hazard. When the car loss power it only drives up to 15 mph (which takes several seconds to reach 15 mph) and never regain normal power. This loss of power started on 10-31-19, which was a very cool day about 24-degree fahrenheit. My car is not driver able any longer. Now that this happen, I research problems with 2016 Civic and found out that Honda had an issue with 1. 5 turbo engine since 2017. One month and half prior to this happen, I took my car to the Honda dealer services twice and only want to charge me with things that the warranty did not cover and could not tell me what was wrong with my car. Honda dealer should had known the problems my car has are relate to oil dilution in the engine, but decided not to address it. Now, I have a car that is not driver able and not safe to drive. Honda place my family life in danger, such that the street around our city, cars drives between 55 to 70 mph. This easily could cause a car to re-end or t-bone the car while making a turn on a busy traffic street.

I have a Honda Civic 2016 and my ac was not working since last year 2018. I took my car to the dealer ship and being told that I need to pay $295 for the diagnosis which I refused to do it. I did some research to see if anyone has the same problem and yess they do and a lot. I took my car to the dealer ship today after I got recalled letter for the condenser. After 6 hrs, they called me and told me that my condenser is good, but my compressor is not and the repair fee will be up to $1200. If I refuse to fix it, I still need to pay $395 for the diagnosis fee which is stupid. I looked it up again and had read a lot of complaint about the compressor. I am paying off my car which I own for almost 4 years and now everything is already broken. This is my first Honda car and I regret that I chose Honda. I hope Honda do some research and read about people complaint and do something about it. Never buy Honda again.

Engine block cracks that create an unsafe condition and premature degradation of the motor and its internal components. The leaks of coolant seem to occur while the motor is running.

The engine block leaks coolant, the motor overheats to a degree that is audible, you can hear the steam escaping from the coolant container, the heat damages the thermostat and burns the gaskets and it becomes a self-destructing cycle because the motor is incapable of cooling itself without the thermostat and, the coolant. In some cases the crack in the block that leaks is apparent; in my case the crack is not visible or easy to see and the dealer's technician is refusing to honor the recall that Honda has already in place for this particular model.

My wife was headed home from work (approximately 5 pm) when she had to stop in traffic on a fairly steep hill, with an outside temperature at, or near, 100 degrees. When she attempted to resume forward she pressed the gas on her 2008 Honda Civic hybrid and the car started to roll backwards into another car. The transmission was in drive, she switched to the lowest range, still the car would not move forward. As a result, she had to wave cars behind her around while all she could do was hold the brakes until she could manage to roll backwards down this hill to safety. She then changed routes that had substantially more congestion, but smaller hills. Hills are a way of life in the atlanta metro area, so are high temperatures in July. She has mentioned that this vehicle has terrible acceleration on some lesser hills in hot weather over the past 2 years, but never experienced anything as dangerous as this incident. This malady has been reported a minimum of 2-3 times to the Honda dealership she purchased it from, heritage Honda, rome, GA. I wouldn't allow her to use it until Honda sorted out the malfunction. Well, I spent the day there, they did computer analysis, technician interfaced with Honda tech line, even sent a "snapshot" of the vehicle's computer data when it actually recreated the same condition for the mechanic on a steep hill. None-the-less, I left there hopeful that Honda would resolve our dilemma. After a day and a half of waiting for some feedback, I was finally informed the car was operating properly. Apparently, the hybrid batteries reached a high temperature, which for "safety reasons" disabled the circuitry that "assists" the car via the "hybrid electric motor" which in turn leaves the car completely dependent on the undersized gasoline engine. In this case, not near enough power to move her car. Honda says it's ok to drive! we need help, please help us!.

Was driving on bluegrass parkway in kentucky. My check engine light came on. I hit a small bump in the road and both airbags deployed. I tried getting out of harms way. Then my engine cut off. I had no power steering and brakes it wouldn't stop the car. I went off the road and hit a tree causing severe damage to my car. Honda placed a recall in December 2011 but never contacted me of the recall. I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital. Suffered wrist and ankle damage so who is responsible????.

I own a 2002 Honda Civic si and was checking on the valve adjustment in my engine today. I noticed one of the cam lobes (cylinder #3 on the exhaust side) had some severe galling and pitting. All of the other cam lobes were in perfect condition. After doing some searching on the internet (search for "cam galling" or "Honda galling" or something similar) I have found this seems to be a known issue to many who own this year Civic si. I also found some sites stating it is also a problem in other k series engines (my car has a k20a3 engine) and possibly a problem in other Honda cars/suvs. My fear is that the lobe could disintegrate while driving at high speeds and cause total engine failure and possibly injury or an accident. I plan on taking pictures tomorrow and seeing what Honda recommends. Since the maintenance interval on adjusting valves is 110,000 miles on my Honda, it's difficult to catch a problem like this before the warranty is up since removing a valve cover is not a standard procedure. . . Although I would venture to guess the problem had begun during the warranty period. And, looking at the number of posts on the issue, something Honda should be recalling or helping with.

My 2007 Honda Civic ex. First started having problems at around 50,000 miles when the car was hesitant to accelerate, and the car overheated once. I took into the Honda dealership, very informal, they gave me no paperwork or proof that they looked at my vehicle, they claimed that nothing was wrong with my vehicle and that it may have been place under unusually harsh conditions or the extreme outside temperature of 92 degrees fahrenheit could have caused the overheating. The Honda certified mechanic did not observed the vehicle to be overheating, and could not replicate any issues on the vehicle. Thinking that they made a full diagnosis I continued to drive my vehicle. A few months later the car started to smell like something was burning and the car was very hesitant to move, I placed the vehicle on park and looked under the hood, smoke was coming out and I looked under the car and what looked like antifreeze was dripping under the car. I immediately had the car towed to the dealership and asked to make another diagnosis, this time they came back and said that my vehicle had a crack on the engine block. The Honda dealership said that since the car is over the designated warranty miles to be covered by the manufacturer that I would have to pay out of pocket, about 5,000 dollars. Dealership told me that the engine block cracking is a common issue on this vehicle and that it could be a manufacturer defect, but the dealership could not fix it because the manufacturer is not covering the vehicle due to the fact that its over the manufacturer's warranty. I protested claiming that I took in into the Honda service shop a few month earlier, had they examined the vehicle properly then it would have been detected under warranty, either way the vehicle should not have a cracked engine block at 50,000 miles. Car is now sitting in my garage, since I don't have the money to pay for the repair and the car can't be driven.

Egr on 2003 Honda Civic hybrid failed at 55000 miles, 5 years. Warranty was for 50000, 3 years.

While starting the vehicle, the check engine light came on and remained on while driving. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop, and the mechanic determined that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced.

When I purchased my car 8/02 the ac was blowing hot air. . The dealer said that was normal. . I told them that was not possible-cars do not blow hot air everytime you stop, turn a corner and excellerate. I dealt with it until this summer 7/03 and took it back to dealer who recharged the system. I told them I thopught it was a leak in compressor, crakc in belt or thermostats didn't work. They just ignored and said all was fine. (1) week later I am once again at the dealer because it is still blowing hot air. Dealer said that the ac unit was not installed in Civics at factory yet they were installed later and are obviously cheaper and they don't work very well. I asked him why they don't tell people this. He stated they do-which we the buyers know that they would never tell us that because they are there to,sell cars. I do not know what they will tell me this time but if it is still blowing hot air on and off I am going back to the dealer and ask for my money back and will take an attorney. They should not put in cheap items and rip off people. I live in az where it is 116+ degrees. I drove the accord and had no problem and the delaler stated they had a better ac in them from factory. I believe that I am entitled to a upgrade car that works at no additional cost. No one should have to sit at a traffic light and sweat or turn the corner and have hot air blast at them. I was told also that they have had many complaints about the ac but obviously have done nothing. I told them I was going to complain to consumer affairs etc and was told that might be a good idea. They really had no concern. Please help!!!! thx.
