I purchased a 2022 Civic Sports brand new, in 11/21, and it recently broke down; it is less than two years old and has 14,216 miles. The engine failed, and it broke down in the middle of the highway, and luckily I was able to pull over to safety before being hit by a car. Oil and anti-freeze were leaking?out of the vehicle. I called Honda roadside assistance, and the tow driver stated that this was a brand-new car, and it sounded like the rods and engine were knocking. It was towed to a dealership, and they told me it was a metal piece in the machine the technician found. It was a manufacturing defect, and then when I inquired more because I felt replacing an engine on a new car was insufficient because of component issues that could be affected due to the damage. I purchased a new vehicle for the peace of mind. I also purchased during the time of covid and the car shortage. The car was fresh from the manufacturer, and I had to pay extra due to the need. The car was maintained with oil and maintenance from the Honda dealership I purchased the car from. I did not see a recall for my vehicle, and there were no warnings. I had to car services a month and a half before. I have asked for something in writing to see the metal piece, but the dealership is refusing, and they are trying to cover this issue up by issuing a quick fix with an engine.

I have been having issues where the 2022 Honda Civic Sport car will die intermittently at lights. The technician who looked at my car said there was no problem and that I was good to go. The issue has been when stopping at a light, the car engine shuts off and a battery signal light shows up. The other electronics in the car appear to work. Right before the car dies, during breaking it feels like ABS is turning on. The car has to be put into park, turned off, and restarted to get going again. This happens approximately weekly, and it is particularly bad when I am in the middle of an intersection. Component suspected of failing is the engine on off auto at stop. This is a safety issue because car dies in the middle of intersections. The dealer was unable to reproduce; however, it happens on an approximately weekly basis. I took it to Honda and they said they could not reproduce it, the car was -??good to go-??. Only indication is the battery light indicating

I had waited several months for a 2022 Honda Civic EX. I had requested either White or Morning Mist. I finally got a call than "it" was in. "It" turned out to be a dark grey. My old lease was running out, so I took the car. I never had a chance to drive any of the 2022 Honda Civic EX models. I did not know anything about the idle stop "feature." I went to the dealership and a product specialist told me it could not be disabled except for the button on the console. After I had the car about 10 days, when it would restart after stopping, the engine would sound like it was choking or not starting well. This "feature" is driving me crazy. I'm 75 years old and usually don't remember to hit the turn-off button when I start the car; then when I do stop, it goes through the re-start process again. That's when I finally remember to hit the button. But I wonder if and when the engine won't start up since it sometimes sounds like it's stalling before it starts. Thank you.

I traded in my 2022 civic in November because the car would randomly shut down because of the faulty denso fuel pump. I told Norm Reeves Cerritos that once I put fuel cleaner the car will shut down 3-5 times the same day and will reoccur again in eight months. Replicated same problem with the sports model after car was in shop 3 months because of an accident and while doing Uber this week with witnesses. Filed numerous complaints with BBB and Honda Corporate all were ignored and they blamed me for putting a third party device in the cigarette lighter.

Once stopped by a light or a stop sign for a minute the car will randomly shut down engine and the car will lose all power. The vehicle randomly shuts down and does it after 3-5 hours of driving. The car has to be put in park and the ignition needs to be started again.
