Dealership bought used car catches fire after just two days of purchase: I bought a used car with no warranty on it from a local dealership exactly two days ago. While driving on the second day of purchase, the car suddenly shut down and fumes started to come out of the car right and as I stopped the car on the side of the road, flames began to flicker out of the engine bay and within a minute or so, the entire car was engulfed in fire! I was able to call 911 and get out of the car in time, but the car's gone, completely. I am thinking that there may be some faults in the car that were not specified in the car fax report from the dealership because this is not an everyday occurrence that a car sets in fire. Now, as my insurance doesn't cover this type of fire damage (liability insurance) I am stuck between a rock and a hard place and I dealer is not ready to co-operate. This is a big financial loss for me and I am seeking help to recover such big loss. The experience was very traumatizing for me as well for my girlfriend who was with me. This has definitely left us with ptsd.

My 2010 model year honda civic with the 1.8l r18a1 4-cyl engine will not maintain its normal engine operating temperature during the cold winter months. The engine takes a considerable amount of time to warm up, whether it is idling in the driveway or being driven in the city/highway. This problem is especially noticeable when using the heat to warm up the car. If I try to use the defrost setting, the car will not reach its normal operating temperature and the air being blow out is lukewarm. Even if I wait until the car is fully warmed up, if I attempt to use the defrost, the engine temperature will drop. In order to maintain the engine's temperature, I must keep the defrost set between the hot and cold indicators on the climate control knob. This poses as a problem, because the air being blown out does not effectively defrost my windows. I also do not want to damage my engine and have it run too cold. Any outside temperate below 30 f is when the engine seems to struggle with keeping a normal operating temperate.

The car vibrates upon turing it on and engine sounds very noisy. I took it to honda service center on route 22 in hillside and they said it was the motor mount which was replaced at a cost to me of $600.00 . They claimed there was no warranty for engine trouble available.

When started and put in reverse the car shakes and makes noise. The problem was diagnosed as bad motor mounts. 75,000 miles on the odometer. This is the same complaint made by many owners. I've read on line that this problem is wide spread with others looking for a recall.

My car has 65000 miles and everytime while reversing there is a knocking sound and heavy vibrations. Also when turning right it has some vibrations and knocking sounds. I found out that it is the passenger side engine mount that has failed. I did some research and found out that this is a normal trend for 8th gen honda civic's. I don't know why honda doesn't do a recall to fix this issue, they are doing one for their airbags already, why not add this too. This is a major safety hazard and a major accident just waiting to happen.
