The vehicle takes several attempts to start. Jg
Consumer touched brakes to slow vehicle down, but vehicle swerved, and consumer hit another vehicle. *ak consumer stateed brakes squeaks and parking brake needs adjustment, transmission is making noise, no power on acceleration, upper windshield molding failed and reinstalled, noise is coming from right front wheel, gas gauge will fluctuate at times and front engine mount broke.
1) on several occasions, when key is turned to start the car only an electrical buzzing sound is heard. The car starts normally when key is turned a second time. 2) occasionally, when car starts normally a brief buzz is heard. 3) most recently, when key was turned the engine cranked for 1-2 seconds then stopped and only buzzed. Car started normally when key was turned a second time. These problems are intermittent, have occured for five months and occured three times last week (most frequent occurence so far). Weather and miles driven do not play a role as problem has occured under multiple conditions. Dealer is aware of problem, but unable to duplicate it in four visits.
Vehicle has been cutting off while driving on an intermittent basis. Also, SRS light on dashboard remained illuminated. Dealer has been contacted for repairs three times, but consumer was experiencing same problem. Please provide further details.
I have this reccurring problem of my car stalling when in drive gear when the car is at a slow speed. I have taken my car to the dealer 3 times now, the first time I thought that this was related to the improper fuel gauge reading I was having, which the dealer fixed by replacing the fuel gauge and the odometer. My car has stalled around 6 to 7 times now when it is slow or at a stop. I have to then put the car to park and start the engine again. The dealer has not been able to fix this problem, he does not have any clue, and everytime they try something and say its fixed, whereas the problem still persist. Once the car stalled on the freeway and the car behind almost ran in to me almost causing a fatal accident. Ever since I am really concerned with my and my family's safety. The reason I paid so much money to purchase a honda vehicle was that honda is considered one of the safest cars, but my experience states otherwise. I am really annoyed & frustrated by the car. I have paid too much and have had no satisfaction until now. On reading the complaints with honda 2001 civics I found that this problem was a common one with the new 2001 civic ex models.
When braking, car idle drops so low that car tends to hesitate and sometimes stalls. The problem is intermittent. Have taken the car to dealer about 4 times regarding idle and stalling. Pcm was checked each time, and dealer found no codes. Dealer could not replicate problem. Car also stalled and cut off when I was at a traffic light after applying the brakes. I noticed that there was a recall by honda for the lx and dx regarding a similar problem. Why hasn't honda looked into the ex model? What could be the problem? Could it be the iac? Could it be the PCM? I am terrified of driving the car. What if the car cuts off/stalls and an accident occurs? I hope honda looks into this problem as soon as possible. I am not the only one experiencing this problem with the ex models. A few other people have been, and this is beginning to be a growing concern among honda consumers. Honda seems to be a reputable car manufacturer, how can they let a problem like this slip through there quality control? I am quite frustrated with the car and all the problems I have been having. The reason I spent so much money on a honda, is because of quality. Where is the quality? I have even had problems with the driver side car seat rocking back and forth. Dealer finally fixed the problem after 4 attempts. Again I am asking what happened to the quality in a honda car, where has it gone?
Repairs for recall 01v183000 was performed, and engine stalled intermittently, approximately 8 to 9 times since the end of july. Dealership cannot determine cause of this problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
Consumer is not happy with the dealer during recall repair, dealer refused rental car, while vehicle was being serviced.
While traveling approximately 25 to 30 MPH and making a turn, engine stalled and caused steering column to lock up. This problem did not result in a crash or injuries. Dealership examined vehicle for engine stalling, but has failed to remedy the problem. *ak while driving, consumer heard a metal to metal sound coming from right wheel well. Consumer was told computer was not set properly according to the VIN code, this was a service bulletin, dealer stated this could be why stalling was occurring, 4 fuses blew and now dealer replaced fuse box, dealer thinks this may be a reason why the vehicle stalled also, dealer also states that he does not know why the fuses blew to begin with, the blown fuse caused moonroof to be inoperable. Vents loose. Trunk release inoperable. Springs squeak and were replaced. Defective weld in the passenger side door rusted. Vehicle experiences rough idle. Driver side tweeter cracking. Driver side mud flap loose. Passenger kick panel uneven. Fuel gauge erratic.

But, vehicle can be quickly restart.consumer has taken vehicle to dealer 3 times, but dealer could not duplicate defect. Vehicle jerked intermittently while driving.*ak consumer now states dealership is able to duplicate the problem, but unable to remedy the problem.
There wasn't a steering lock when driver turned steering column for security reason. Dealership was aware of problem.*ak consumer states problem still has not been fixed. Humming noises and rough idling also occur.
