Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car is sluggish up hills and is now stalling around turns with power steering going off. Car is a 5speed and when put on gas it restarts. Mechanic replaced spark plugs and crank sensor but problem got worse. Wondering if ignition switch could be issue as I see it was an issue on other Civic models. Mechanic both at Honda and our personal could not figure out what's wrong and problem keeps coming up despite supposed fixing. We've spent over $1,000 already trying to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #11092853, filed 2018-05, 300,000 miles“While driving at both city and highway conditions car will lose all power and shut down and coast to a stop.. Will start up again after 5 to10 efforts to start. This is interrmittent problem. You cannot predict when it will happen or how often it will occur.”
NHTSA complaint #11231130, filed 2019-07, 200,000 miles“I bought my 2000 Honda Civic used from a dealer in april of 2003. After about 2 months of having the car, I have noticed that when the gas tank is about a 1/4 (quarter) of a tank and/or below the car stalls (hard to start) when trying to start the engine.this happens during all seasons. This is my first car and I am not sure of what to do. I have an appointment with the dealer to inspect the car and I am hoping that something can be done about this problem. I am a young woman, and it's often scary at times when I am getting into my car at night and it does this.”
NHTSA complaint #10093717, filed 2004-10“The car is either difficult to start or starts and dies when the level in the fuel tank is near or below the 1/4 tank mark. This problem is prevalent in the 1999 and 2000 civics, and Honda is aware of it. They claim to have a service bulletin on the problem, but I could not find it on your website. Honda refuses to fix it.this is a security issue for me. I purchased this car for my daughter, so that she would have reliable transportation. She is in law school, and has to spend a great deal of time in the library, late at night. …”
