When the car is parked in a downward slope facing down, and you engage the reverse gear, the car rolls forward. This is especially difficult to control if you are parked in a tight spot and you will roll and hit the car in front of you. We reported this to honda corporation and they said that this is normal behavior. I do not agree, since my other car (different make/model) does not perform the same. *tr

The driver's air bag deployed and the front bumper was scraped and knocked out of place. American honda has inspected the car and claims…

I was trying to back into a parking space with my 8 month old, 2012 honda civic. As i took my foot off the gas pedal to put the car into reverse and before i could step on the brake, the car surged forward at a tremendous rate of speed, jumped a curb and went straight into a brick building. The car bounced backwards onto the parking lot and i was able to step on the brake and regain control. This happened in a…

I've had my 2012 civic for a little over a year now and have been experiencing the following issue right away: while maintaining speed at 1500 rpms, they suddenly jump to 2500 rpms, pause at the higher rpm for a few seconds and then come back down. I cannot recreate it at will, it happens while driving on flat and straight roads (as this is my usual drive to work and home), applying the break does not bring the rpms…

My honda civic ex-l 2012 failed to accelerate from a stopped or idling position. This has happened approximately five times in the three weeks i have owned the vehicle (current odometer reading as of this writing is 650 miles). I have noticed it most often when attempting to accelerate from a stopped or idling position to make a left hand turn. However the left hand turn may be more noticeable as i am turning into…

I got into a accident last monday, feb. 13, 2012, like around 8 or 9 in the morning. I was making a right turn when my car went out of control even though i was already stepping on the brakes and i was trying to turn the steering wheel to the left but the car just kept going to the right until i hit the pole sign that says "no parking at all times" (something like that). The metal pole that i hit broke and almost…

I am a fuel efficient driver, drive with the econ button on mos of the time. I drive 150 miles 5 times a week. Every time i am going downhill and i push the brakes to slow down, the rpm's go up. I also tried driving without the econ to see if it would change and the same thing happened. You would think by hitting the brakes a little harder would do the trick to decrease speed, but it doesn't. As you start holding…
