My clutch pedal bracket is poorly made after doing research I realized this is a common issue with these cars, the pedal brackets can break while driving and cause an accident if you are stuck in a gear and can’t get out of it

I started my vehicle up after work and it was idling rough but then stabilized so I payed it no mind. Soon as I merged onto the highway when my check engine light started to flash. I immediately loss power and the vehicle started to decelerate. I turned on my hazards, pressed on the pedal to accelerate but the vehicle was bogging and wouldn't accelerate pass 50mph. I safely got off on the next exit and shut off the vehicle. I turned the vehicle back on and made it home safely. This is the second time this happened. I changed multiple parts on the vehicle since then, yet it continues to happen. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they could not figure it out.

The ignition and lock components have worn out.the driver's side is completely broken and the ignition is having problems. The car only has 70,000 miles on it. This is not standard honda workmanship, and the dealer suggests having the entire car rekeyed which costs about the same as the car is worth. This is definitely an issue with a faulty component to begin with.

Drove 50 miles from montclair ca (home) to uci medical center orange ca, on highways 60 and 57. My wife, a stroke patient had an appointment with the uci neurologist. When arrived at the indoor parking entrance, I made a left turn slowly to enter the indoor parking facility of the medical center. Suddenly, the left axle shattered and the car came to sudden halt. Ball bearings and pieces of metal were on the floor. Towed to harding honda, anaheim, ca facility. They replaced axle. On test drive, mechanic reported noise in the right hand axle as well. Fearing it might break on highway, I had it replaced also. I believe this problem to be a serious safety risk. If it had happened on highway, it would have caused a multiple vehicle accident. My car was driven only 54157 miles at the time of the accident.

I brought a honda civic 2009 in 2012,april 12. The honda was supposed to be sold with a power train warranty to bring car up to date for 36000 miles/3 yr. Honda did not offer an extended warranty for these purposes. They called a year later to see if we would then extend the vehicle to 120 miles. We had already purchased an additional warranty called assurance pay to paylink approx 112.00 mo. We were one payment to the last and honda finally called , we purchased their warranty too. The car should have been automatic from the sale date. Door locks and ignition/cylinder work and other repairs such as break work have been performed on vehicle since. I am reporting unfair selling practices. Details and repair work will be submitted upon request. Thus vehicle safety issues upon purchase.

While driving a chatter started under the hood. Drove it to our mechanic (1 to 2 miles away) and he said the steel bolt broke that holds the belt tensioner to the aluminum engine. Had it fixed and the same thing happened on august 8, 2013 while driving. This time the car shut down completely and I was able to safely stop it and call for a tow. Took it to the mechanic again and he said upon talking to honda dealers, this happened in 2006 and 2007 and there was a recall for this problem. There is no recall yet for this problem for a 2009 honda civic and no permanent fix. I am concerned that the car just quits while in motion, the power steering is gone and the brake assist is gone, which puts life at risk. Can this be looked into?
