I have a 2007 honda civic lx with 36,000 miles. I was turning left into a parking space going very slowly (<5 mph) when my vehicle suddenly accelerated. My foot was not on the gas pedal. I slammed on the brakes and the car continued to accelerate and i hit a curb which then caused the car to stop its acceleration. The brakes did not make too much difference as the car was continuing to move forward and rpms…

The car vibrates heavily with a cold start and increases in vibration when in reverse. It takes approx. 10 minutes for the heavy vibration to dissipate. There is no such vibration while driving. I have done some research and there are many others with the same car and the same problem. There is no way that it should be failing with this amount of mileage and the relative age of the car. I am not sure if any tsb was…

Re: [xxx] before description let me say that this vehicle is my third honda hybrid car. The first, an early insight was entirely satisfactory. I wish i still owned it. It is true that it did go through the ima battery reconditioning cycle occasionally, but not very often the second, a civic hybrid, was also quite satisfactory. The third, a 2007 civic hybrid, is the problem. I wish i had never traded up (down?) to…

The condenser on my 2007 honda civic was recently punctured by a small pebble during normal highway driving. I have since (through internet research) found this to be a prevalent problem among honda civic owners. Upon closer examination, i found that there is little protection afforded the condenser. Road debris can easily fly through the vents in the front end of the vehicle and puncture the condenser. What…

Within a few seconds in spite of putting all my weight on the brake the car began gradually edging forward into the intersection. Without taking my foot of the brake i shifted into park and the engine went back to its regular idling speed. I…

On my 2007 honda civic hybrid the ima battery will suddenly drop from a charge to no charge. When this happens the car loses almost all acceleration power because the gasoline engine is forced to charge the battery up. This has happened to me during acceleration onto major highways during rush hour which is extremely dangerous without acceleration power. I would like honda motor to address this issue instead of…

Honda owners have reported engine block failures on 2006-2009 honda civics where cracks form at the bottom and allow engine coolant to escape. Honda has acknowledged the defect with an extended warranty but has not agreed to fix the problem until it happens.
