My Honda recently has had 10 warning lights pop up went in for oil change they couldn-??t tell me the issue came back for another diagnosis and they are saying the engine has oil dilution. This is a known issue for this engine. But why does it affect abs, traction control, wiper sensor, auto high beam detection., all of the lane assist, cruise control, early warning crash detection? This can be dangerous when you can-??t quickly get the car into a dealership. And if it-??s know issue they need a recall or free fix.
Car fuel injectors will fail and cause misfiring. Dangerous to drive due to engine running rough. Unusual for fuel injectors to go out so soon especially when driven with care and using correct fuel octane.
check engine lights display periodically. The main one involves the fuel injectors. It has been an on going problem for 6-8 months. When I contacted the dealership I was told the part is not available Nationwide at this time and not sure when it will become available. While driving the car can go into "limp" mode where it doesn't let you go above 30 MPH. This problem first started approximately October 2022 after having the vehicle just over 7 months. When I contact the Dealership I was told there was nothing they could do but wait for the part to come in. Meanwhile I am paying for a vehicle that is not safe to drive, yet has no recalls on it. I was told by the Dealership that they have several vehicles at the auto auction that have the same issue that are not selling. I don't understand why Honda has not had a recall on this part. I am stuck with a vehicle, my only means of transportation, still making payments, and it sits in the garage. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me.
These cars have horrendous AC issues. A spotlight needs to be on put on it. Broken AC can subject drivers to dangerously high temperatures in the cabin, even if the windows are rolled down in some climates. Honda, the maker of these vehicles, is still answerable for the supplier of the compressor/ac system, Keihin's, failures. There are many of us, but we haven't been able to connect the dots to see how many have truly been affected. I nearly suffered heatstroke driving this car. Was dizzy the night of at home, with outdoor temperatures reaching triple digits (Fahrenheit).

My car has a significant engine oil dilution problem. Gasoline is starting to mix with the oil and it could potentially cause problems or complete engine failure. I am having issues with performance in cold weather due to this problem.
I have oil dilution in my 2015 Honda Civic EX-T VIN [XXX]. Dealer performed the fixes. The Next time I had the oil sample checked it was worse. The oil smells like a weedeater. I am at 13.72% fuel in the oil. Very Rich. I live in Alabama where it is hot. I only drive long distances to and from work on the interstate. I need help. Honda is doing nothing. They are not telling the dealer anything or sharing any specs as acceptable percentage fuel in the oil. It is a coverup. TSBs have been done and engine checked and injectors are good. Please advise. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
10.55% fuel was found in the oil according to a sample that was taken. Took to dealer and called honda. Dealer was told to perform Bulletin 18-137 I think. Dealer said was done and changed the oil also. Took a sample at 30% oil life after the fix and now there is 13.72% fuel in the oil. Took back to dealer they called Honda Engineers and was told it was normal and that was on the Low side 13.72%. Was not able to do anything. This is a coverup. You can smell fuel in the oil and oil is high on the dipstick when you check it and you can smell when driving.
My vehicle has oil dilution issue. The engine releases toxic gas from the engine compartment to interior of the car though the air duct. This gives me major headache and forces me to drive with my widow open as to not worsen my asthma issues. After checking the oil dipstick I can smell the gas aroma coming from the oil. This is a serious environmental issue and an even greater health concern of mine. I pray my health does not deteriorate to where I develop cancer from the toxins.
Air conditioner fails to cool and instead blows hot air. Honda authorized service technician has confirmed that a defective air conditioner compressor has caused freeon leakage from the compressor's main shaft throughout the system.
At cold start, the idling engine shakes the steering wheel, dashboard, and much of the cabin. It feels like a poorly seated motor mount. I've driven Civics my whole life and have never felt a shake like this one. I took it to the local Honda dealership and left it overnight in hopes of replicating the cold start. They could not reproduce the problem but I'm beginning to worry.
Just the other day I floored it to pass someone and my car stopped accelerating on the highway with a flashing check engine light. As I pressed the gas the RPM's would go up but I had 0 acceleration. I eventually pulled over and turned off the car and immediately when I turned it, my car star shuttle before stop the acceleration and happend every time when I try accelerate the car
The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that on several occasions, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle would decelerate and then stall. There were several codes displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that whenever the failure occurred, the vehicle was reset by restarting the vehicle approximately 3 times or removing and replacing the battery. The contact had not spoken with a dealer. The contact learned of service bulletin: 10142655 (engine and engine cooling, electrical system) however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,300.
My son and I purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Honda Civic sedan on Dec 3rd from Honda of lisle il. The car was purchased with 22,100 miles. My son was driving on Dec 10th and stopped for gas for the first time. He got back in the car and started it up. He noticed the engine light came on. He immediately cam home and called for an appointment for the next day to have it checked out at the dealer. As he was driving to the dealer he got about 1 mile down the road when all of a sudden black smoke started pouring out of the engine compartment and the car froze up and immediately burst into flames. Thankfully it happened on a side street as he was slowing down for a traffic light. I had it towed to the dealer. Even though there is a law that they need to take it back within 15 days or less than 500 miles, they essentially told me it wasn't their problem and I needed to get my insurance involved. A fire inspector hired by the insurance company looked at the totaled vehicle and suspected the fire started near the battery. My insurance company informed me that they would have to have a fire engineer inspect it at a cost of $5,000 therefore they will not pursue further. This should not have happened to a certified car with 22K miles. Full video https://youtu.be/ttsvy7zgmw8
Sometimes, when trying to start the vehicle, it will not crank and start. The electric power will come on (dash board icons, headlights, etc.), but it will not crank. It takes from 2 to 7 turns of the key, before it cranks and starts. This problem occurs sometimes once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times. I took it to a Honda dealer for repair. However, on the day I took it in, of course, it was working fine. The service manager said that their computer could not diagnosis it, unless the problem occurred while it was hooked to the computer. He told me to bring it back when the problem got worse, or the car would not start at all. I have not returned to the dealer yet. This problem began in early July of this year. The vehicle had approximately 36,000 miles on it.
On my Honda Civic I have the oil dilution problem which was verified by a mechanic. When I had the oil change they said gasoline came out with the oil. Two days before I went to get the oil change the fuel in the oil caused my engine to stall and me and my friend almost got rear ended by many cars flying up on us. We were barely able to get just barely inches off the freeway but every car came within inches of hitting our car and almost killing us. After a while the car eventually started back up and we continued down the freeway only to have the car stall again and we nearly getting hit again by another car. I'm actually afraid to even drive my car now after this incident and I've been reading about other people online having the same problem. I think this is a serious safety concern and Honda should recall mine and others cars as soon as possible for this could cause fatalities. I have the 1.5 L turbo engine by the way and I've heard complaints about others with this motor with the same exact problem. I'm not sure exactly how the fuel mixing with the oil causes the engine to stall. All I know is consumer reports has other people mentioning their engine stalling. I believe it could be something the engine detects in the oil and shuts the engine down as a way of protecting it from possible low oil pressure because of the fuel. By the way I haven't had any problems with the car for two years and this is the first incident that has happened. Recently over the last couple months I haven't been driving that much and therefore the oil was diluting with the fuel more than normal so that may have something to do with it. And also I live in a hot climate in northern California. Honda thinks that it's only happening in colder colder climates which is absolutely absurd. You can literally smell gasoline on the dipstick and the dipstick was 1/2 qt. Over. Still had 50% oil life.
