What 1995 Honda Civic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
95 honda civic sedan 4 door stalls while driving at any speed also is getting harder to start. Also stalls when not moving also. You can drive 10 feet or a few miles depending upon the outside temp. And weather conditions. When the car is cold it will stall and you have to weight approx. 5-30minutes for it to restart. If the weather is hot it stalls very quickly and takes approx. 3-4 hours to restart. We have replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump screen, fuel pump relay, fuel injector relay, distributor cap, rotor, igniter and condenser and it still stalls. We have takes it to two different mechanics twice and they were unable to diagnosis the problem. I seen the recalls on the ignition switch for the 98 and up and this is what is happening to my car. I would like to know if honda as a recall for the 95 civic also or can I anticipate one in the future. This problem started in july 2018 and has been getting worse.
The airbag in this car does not work. I have been hit twice, and know as a fact the airbag "did-not deploy" either times. My seat-belt on the drivers side is wearing away from it rotting away, I put some wood glue on the belt to stop any deterioration on the bag. I called the palm springs; ca honda dealer and they stated my car is not covered. Please call me at [xxx]. Thank you.

I was accelerating while driving and my car suddenly shut off. I only had power to my radio and headlights. I had to switch on my hazards, put my car in park. I turned it off and back on and it started right back up- but had I of been on the freeway I would have been hit. I had my 2 year old son in the car with me. I immediately turned around to go home and it happened once again on the way back (luckily I took side streets home) turned out to be the ignition switch, but the shop is telling me the whole thing needs to be replaced.
