- What is wrong
- On certain compressed natural gas (cng) vehicles, in the event of a severe interior fire in the area of the rear seat, the cng tank may be heated unevenly, preventing the pressure relief device from venting the contents of the tank as designed.
- Risk
- This could result in a tank rupture, explosion, and ejection of the tank from the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a heat insulator material to the rear seat back. An interim owner letter was mailed to owners beginning november 26, 2007. When parts are available, owners will be renotified asking them to bring in their vehicle for repair. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.

What 1998 Honda Civic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving, the vehicle needed to make a hard stop. On stopping the vehicle brakes failed and the brake pedal hit the floor. Very lucky that no vehicle or pedestrian were hit. Car was approximately two miles from home. Drove remaining distance at 5 MPH with parking brake only. On inspection discovered the two brake lines under the protective plastic were corroded. In addition, the three fuel lines are also severely rusted, and fuel is leaking from the return line. The corroded brake lines are lines 9 and 11 in the 1998 honda civic lx brake diagram. Line 11 is currently leaking leaving no brake pressure for the entire system. The fuel lines are pipes 15, 16 and 19 in the fuel line diagram with fuel line 19 leaking. The vehicle is currently awaiting to be serviced. Based on searches online for honda vehicles, this is a fairly common occurrence especially in areas with high usage of salt such as the mid-west. Vehicle owners need to be notified of the dangerous and potentially deadly symptom. Why is there no recall or notification from honda? In addition, the repair of all of these lines is very costly to the owners.
My !998 honda civic ex stalled on freeway while going at 50mph. It was due to failure of ignition switch. Honda had a recall on certain van models only and my vehicle is not on the list. My safety is at stake here so are others who drives a honda. Although I have 162,000 miles on the vehicle, the switch as far as I know is not an item called out for replacement as part of the vehicle maintenance. So how would I know when to replace if it is not an item that is a required attention when vehicle is brought in for service, this is a safety hazard and life endangering problem. I could have been killed on the freeway when the car stalled.
Vehicle stalled inadvertently. After the vehicle sits for 5 minutes or so it will again start up. Consumer contacted the dealer, who could not solve the problem, and contacted the manufacturer, who insisted this vehicle was not on recall due to the VIN.
Intake manifold has a crack in it which can cause serious damage to engine if not noticed in time.
