2001 Honda Civic engine problems

Filed Jul 18, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · AR

I am going down the road at 65mph and car loses all power, compression, speed... Starts shuttering, stuttering & shaking the car then it dies... It doesn't matter the conditions, whether I'm in city or on road... It does it anywhere and unexpectedly, never know when it's going to do it but it's dangerous it's not just once, it's every time I drive the car! Not just once but several times!

Vehicle manufacturer's fuel hose clamp recall ( #01v182000 ) was inadequately repaired by technicians of a vehicle repair company conducting initial safety inspection of vehicle, prior to registration of vehicle, and there is no known provision requiring a review of any alleged repairs by that vehicle repair company in accords with the recall itself, whereas a strong odor of fuel continuously fills passenger compartment through air vents when travelling in vehicle, and vehicle repair company refuses to review work of technicians in the interest of safety of vehicle's passengers and other innocent persons in accords with basis for manufacturer's issuance of recall. Vehicle is only workable means of transportation, and continuous odor of fuel affects passengers personally and substantially, based on there existing no known provision requiring review of work of technicians. Employees of vehicle manufacturer was contacted by phone, and they revealed that there are no known policies or provisions requiring review of technician attempts to repair fuel hose clamp recall upon allegations of strong odor of fuel clouding passenger compartment when vehicle in operation; employees of vehicle manufacturer appear to cover up allegations of inadequate repair of fuel hose clamp recall by reviewing technicians, thus providing for potentially dangerous vehicle (reeking of odor of fuel) to operate on public roadways.

Engine and cooling system. Every part of the cooling system was checked and replaced including thermostat, water pump, timing belt, radiator, and all hoses. After running several diagnostic tests the car was showing no codes but would still overheat at times causing terrible situations on the highways. Please fix this

I received a 2001 honda civic lx from my dad as a gift around the end of april, 2018. Which he had spent about 2000 in the motor before giving it to me. The issues occurred with the car over heating right when we landed into las vegas which we were coming from san dimas california, it took about 3-4 hours to get back home. I had issues with my car over heating a lot which had to do with the sensors at first which had gotten replaced. Than after the fan to cool down the radiator wasn't working properly to where only one fan would kick in. Now out of no where my car had issues accelerating which should be investigated before somebody really gets hurt. From all the reviews thank god in the long run everybody is okay but in order for this to be recalled it's like people need to be injured or deaths need to really occur before when things like this should be fixed so serious problems don't occur in leads to death. I almost got side swiped when I had no choice but to try to move to saftey really slow which I didn't have control of the car moving at that paste when it wouldn't move any faster than what it wwas.since I found out my car having issues on accelerating and being able to move around I find out there is the air bag recall which I receive a paper in mail to fix but how when I can't even get there. It's the end of july 2018 in which my car is officially unable to be moved. So many problems within 3 months and so much money wasted it's ridiculous.

While driving on the interstate, the car was no longer accelerating. While stepping on the gas the engine was revving but the speed would not increase. As I was only a short way from an exit, I was able to get off of the interstate, down the exit ramp, and to the stop light prior to the local roads as the car would still drive but only less than 40 MPH. Upon getting to the stop light, the car no longer responded to the gas pedal going forward, I was able to back up to a space in between turn lanes. I placed my hazard lights on and called triple a for a tow truck. My car was towed to a local auto body where I was informed the car's transmission had gone, to their surprise as the car is in "great condition".
