8/19/14-gas smell bad mileage-repair shop replaced gas cap. Still smelled gas. Brought to honda dealer for services and stated smell of gas, they couldn't find anything and said we may have overfilled tank, must have spilled gas down side, or the poor gas mileage could be the way we drive the car. 5/11/2015-127,148 miles- check engine light-had charcoal canister & vent solenoid replaced. 5/13/2015-check engine light back on. Apparently know problem with leaking gas/fumes honda has not recalled models affected with exception of honda odyssey. Much of my research effecting 98-2002 models. Tsb's ( technical service bulletin's ) 01-011 ( evap control canister vent shut valve 98-99 models ) and 03-001 ( evap bypass solenoid valve 98-02 since code and diagnosing problem is difficult and basically honda is aware of this issue they should be recalling these vehicles as leaking gas/fumes is a safety issue.
I'm the original owner of an civic 2001 lx with 159,000 miles. It started smelling obnoxious gas smell inside the car. The dealer findings were, the fuel filter cracked. Estimated repair of $541.00, they advised me to not drive the car until it is fixed also, the car was well maintained by them since day one. The service disorder suggested to me to contact honda headquarters and explain the problem to them since it is a safety issue. I did contact honda they were not willing to do anything about it. Thanks so much,
Honda civic gx cng fuel tank valve failure, causing the car to leave you stranded for hours. Car would not start or run, only after trying it 10+ times.
Total transmission failure! While I was stopped at a traffic light it felt like the car would not get in gear. I would press on the gas and the engine would rev up but I was not moving. I was able to let it coast to a side street to get out of traffic. This could have been really ugly if I was on the highway or on a busier street. I had to get it towed to the nearest service station. Apparently the oil pump and torque converter failed which basically caused the rest of the transmission to burn up. I had to do a complete new transmission rebuild. I know my honda has a few miles but 104k seems too early for a transmission failure.

I do not have a garage. A friend kept my car while I was on vacation and put it in his garage. Then he smelled gasoline. He took it to my mechanic and the fuel pump top had cracked and there was a lot of gasoline sitting on top of it. My mechanic replaced the fuel pump. Honda said this is not a problem, I believe it is a manufacturing defect and a safety issue. The car has never been in an accident. Fire potential in an accident is huge.

2001 honda civic ex 5sp with 39,289 miles stalled when engine is warm. Driving on highway and when shifted RPM's immediately dropped and engine stalled. This created an extremely dangerous situation as no power steering. I was able to restart engine and as long I kept gas peddle depressed the engine wouldn't stall. When the engine was cold the engine wouldn't stall but didn't idle properly. This happened unexpectedly. Car had been running fine. The car was returned to the honda dealer where purchased and they verified problem. They said they had to reprogram the computer but couldn't identify the root cause of the problem. Description of work they performed was "updated vehicle PCM with him". Since they reprogrammed the computer the vehicle has been running good. However, I'm concerned that they can't determine the cause of the problem and that it will happen again.
On multiple occasions, engine will stall without notice. While pressing on the accelerator, is seems like there is no fuel being supplied to the engine.
