    While trying to pull into an isle of a parking lot for the purpose of finding a parking space, the engine suddenly accelerated on its own and out of control spinning around, jumping a curb and crashing into a tree, and four other automobiles parked on the parking lot causing property damage to five automobiles including my automobile. *tr

    Engine And Engine Cooling

    My 2009 honda civic si, bought new, has been leaking oil after oil change and the dealership service department cannot find why it is leaking except that it is coming from the filter. I was charged $100 for diagnostic fees that did not find any other fault besides a 'leaking filter'. The dealership simply asked me to bring the car in, change the filter, and continue this cycle until it doesn't leak anymore. The…

    I was stopped at a stop sign with my foot on the brake of my 2009 honda civic when the car's engine suddenly revved to 4000rpm. I placed the car in park and the engine continued to rev at 4000rpm. The entire incident lasted about 10 seconds and then the engine returned to normal idling speed and i continued on my way. The vehicle, which has about 11,000 miles, is currently at a honda dealer for evaluation. *tr

    I currently am the lessee of a 2009 honda civic hybrid starting this january, the hybrid battery charge level goes from almost full (8-10 out of 10 bars) to virtually zero (1 bar) every other week (the technical term for this is a "recall" or recalibrating). This summer, it started happening every 3-4 days, and whenever i had the a/c on. Then, it started to happen every 100 miles (which made it very predictable).…

    I bought a brand new 2009 honda civic lx in december of 2008. In march 2009, only 3 months after owning the vehicle and only 3,000km total on the vehicle, i've been experiencing an inconsistent and disconcerting problem after driving this car off the lot. The vehicle seems to have an intermittent starting issue where on random occasions the vehicle will not start. Once trying to start it, it cranks, like it is…
