Most recent incident occurred on 11/27/2017 ,10/6/2017,10/9/17 and in other several occasions when operating the vehicle and its inability to perform in a safe matter has greatly troubled me concerning my safety and the safety public. The following occurred on that day, while i was making a…

The car loses power when going up hills and has stalled twice. If i lightly bump the shift while driving it goes into neutral. I must use the emergency brake when parked even on a flat surface or the car will roll. *tr

On approximately 10 occasions, after refueling the honda civic gx (natural gas) vehicle, the car would start up and travel no more than 100 yards from the filling station. The gas gauge reads empty even though the tank is full. There are pressure regulators and safety valves that open up with a thunk sound when the car is started after filling.

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…

The dealer let me know that the noise i was hearing was the fuel moving around in the fuel tank, due to a design change in the 2012 model which removed the fuel tank baffles. The dealer will…
