Last year, in our state we have some snow and when i on my way to work i feel everything shaking starting from the wheel. When i check under the car there was nothing but ice under the car. After snow clears out my steering wheel is not right anymore. It kept pulling to the side while i was driving even at low speed. So i don't know what the problem is.

Three different time, the car was parked overnight and would not start the next morning. It had to be towed. I was told that rodents had chewed through the soy based wiring insulation in multiple areas, including the fuel tank pressure sensor, the fuel hose. The mechanic could not offer me any concrete solution to prevent this from happening again and i fear a problem might occur while i am actually driving.

First time driving this car in light snow. At the top of a hill, i turned left to traverse the hill to take a side street, following my co-workers. The civic slipped - just a bit- and the vsa light lit. I immediately lost all throttle control, brakes were wildly activating (seemingly 1 at a time), and the steering wheel was jerking. I was going very slow when the civic took all control away from me. I could not…

After filling up for gas, i turn my vehicle on and the instrument panel went crazy with warning lights and audio warnings. I shut the vehicle off, waited a few seconds, and then started the vehicle.

The vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was diagnosed that the vsa modulator module…

While going up a hill on my driveway the vsa (vehicle stability assistant) was activated on my 2012 honda civic due to slippage in snow. The vsa modulator got stuck and the vsa, abs and power steering warning lights instantly turned on. Upon turning the car off the vsa modulator remained on producing a low frequency hum/vibration. I had to disconnect the battery terminal last night to turn the modulator off so that…
