My civic has developed excessive bearing noise in the transmission and it is getting louder, especially in cold weather.

The motor mount on my 2010 honda civic needed to be replaced at approximately 45,000 miles. A quick search on the honda forums revealed many other people complaining about this issue, some of whom have had to replace their motor mount multiple times. This would appear to be a known weakness in the design which honda is not addressing for owners.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda civic. While driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. In addition, the contact noticed smoke emitting from the engine compartment and all the doors failed to unlock. As a result, the contact had to exit the vehicle through the front driver side window, which was rolled down. In addition the contact stated that the vehicle caught fire. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.
The motor mount should not have needed replaced at 62,409 miles. It vibrates very bad when in reverse and makes this ungodly noise.
Submission from constituent re to file an official complaint against honda motor corporation, also including rusty wallace honda in knoxville and cookeville honda service departments as official warranty servicers (full doc not imaged). *smd the consumer stated the vehicle lost power and stalled. The dealer stated the consumer hit something, which caused water to leak, and the engine to blow. The consumer refuted the dealers conclusion. The consumer took the vehicle to another dealer. An inspection revealed, the engine was blown, because a bracket punctured the radiator. The dealer informed the consumer the vehicle had been in an accident and after market parts were used, which voided the warranty, the consumer had. The consumer stated the vehicle had a clean carfax report.
Second time seeing this on a honda civic. The motor mounts go bad fairly quickly and this time went bad on me under 36000 miles. It is a common problem with honda civic owners. The car starts relentlessly vibrating.
Rides rough shakes feels that it's going to stall. Very obvious when stopping for red lights. Vibration occurs if I put the transmission in neutral. Sometimes it stops it but it does reoccur. Also the A/C makes the car vibrate even more. Was serviced however had to bring it back, paying $160. , in august 2012 for the same problem. They took it for a ride felt something in the steering wheel and proceeded to realign front wheels. Rode with a member of the service dept for a good 20 minutes and nothing happened to the car. When I drove the car home it happened again and, to date, it is still happening. A member of the service dept told me in confidence there is a relationship between the engine and the A/C but they haven't found how to fix it. I would like to know if other civics complained about this problem.
Day1: I have a 2010 honda civic ex-l sedan with mileage of 95-100k. I was traveling at approximately 40-MPH (best guess-timate), the vehicle check engine light came on, green light next to drive (d) began flashing and vsa indicator was lit too; vehicle seemed to be a bit jerky shifting. Took it into honda and they changed transmission fluid, as well as replaced the 3rd gear pressure switch. Day 3: I experienced a similar problem, with the additional symptom of the speedometer display fluctuating wildly / reading too low or zero values. The local honda dealership performed a computer update, cleared error codes, and a 10-min test drive did not recreate the issue. Day4: while gently accelerating to 45-MPH, my check engine light appeared and the speedometer abruptly dropped to near "zero". It was at this point that the transmission abruptly down-shifted to either 1st or 2nd gear and caused the tires to screech (as if I had jammed on the brakes, but I had not). The abrupt deceleration of my vehicle nearly caused an accident with the car behind me, who was also accelerating and narrowly avoided rear-ending my vehicle (I imagine because of the sudden deceleration without warning of brake lights). This time, before returning to dealership, I performed online research and when I did return to that dealership, I suggested they check the engine's speed sensor. Sure enough, they ended up replacing the speed sensor and haven't had the problem since (3 weeks now). I'm reporting now because of my concern this malfunction could occur to someone else and cause their vehicle to be rear-ended.
About a year ago - there was smoke coming out of engine while driving. We stopped and honda said there was a problem with the engine and changed the engine (under warranty still). Since then, we have multiple engine warning light signs while driving in highway or middle of crowded city, as well as the drive light just starts randomly blinking forcing us to stop in the middle of the road and re-start the car. Throughout this time, they are now changing the engine for the 3rd time and there is constant leak and warning signs still. They have obviously not figured out the problem, but they know our warranty is running out in october - so they just change engine or repair a leak (without actually figuring out what the problem is) and they are waiting for warranty to run out. It is all been an engine problem and the dealer and now honda just do not seem to care - we are still under warranty. We think this is a violation of the magnuson-moss warranty act as they have obviously not fixed the problem (ie engine) that is under warranty and just replace it with something that does not fix the problem. This is extremely dangerous for us to be driving this car as honda and us both know that the problem is not fixed and driving in highway or a road could mean an accident anytime. However, honda does not seem to care - they say well we will keep on replacing engine until warranty runs out. We would like to get a new car or a car with equal mileage (as of february 2013), as we have not been able to properly use the car and feel in danger every time we drive the car given all the warnings.
I purchased a new 2010 honda hybrid, I have had 3 ima batteries replaced. The last one they replaced came with a software update that has reduced my mpg from over 40mpg to 30mpg and less power. I believe this is in violation of stated window sticker mileage claims, lemon laws and possibly air quality laws, not to mention the loss of power dangers.
I was parked in shopping center. I came out of cvs pharmacy and carefully backed my car out. I began a left turn lane (still in shopping center) not into main road and suddenly the car's speed escalated rapidly and I could not stop it - it jumped the curb and in trying to avoid hitting shops car crashed headlong into light pole. It would appear that the gas accelerator was stuck. The airbag came on and I was injured by that. The front end of auto was badly damaged. This is a honda civic 2010 and there was a crash and one person injured (me) which when I print this your form reverts to original form.
While my wife was waiting in line at a fast food drive thru lane, steam was noticed coming from under the hood. The vehicle was immediately parked. A quick inspection showed the engine compartment to be extremely clean. A small amount of moisture was noticed on the inside of the hood and next to the AC compressor. The vehicle was towed to the agency and left overnight. When I called the next morning, I was informed that the compressor was failing and that they recommended to have the compressor replaced for $995. After stating that the vehicle was less then two years old and inquiring if there was a recall or other civics with similar problems, I was told that a 2006 model was brought in with a similar problem and that there was no recall. I called some local parts stores and was told that the compressor was not stocked and would have to be special ordered because the model year was still new. The final repair was replacement of the AC compressor and AC relay for a discounted price of $824.60 ouch!
Car stalls and also sputters, feels like it is going to stall. This will occur when vehicle is slowing down (ex: traffic) and the rpms will drop causing the vehicle to stall or almost stall. If vehicle doesn't stall rpms will shoot back up. In addition, shifter will get stuck when going from reverse into drive, drive into mark, and vise versa.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda civic. While driving in reverse, the contact stated that the vehicle would stall while on an incline. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer denied any assistance regarding the failure or the remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 827 and the current mileage was 8,000.
The condenser unit in my 2010 honda civic ex has expired. I took it in for an oil change a little over a week ago, and ever since then, the A/C hasn't worked. I returned to the dealer this morning and the service guys insisted that the condenser was puntured by road debris. The manufacter warranty won't cover the cost to repair the damage, nor will my easy care insurance cover it. I purchased this car 7 1/2 months ago brand new.
During my daughter's 5-hr drive to college in her 2010 honda civic (~ 3500 miles on it), the car's A/C abruptly quit working. After checking over the internal controls to make sure she didn't have a wrong setting, she took the vehicle to a honda dealership for inspection and found that the condenser had a hole in it apparently from a foreign object (rock). Upon further internet research, I discovered this situation was not a rare occurrence. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints listed on the internet of this exact same problem. I contacted both american honda as well as the dealership where the car was purchased and was told that honda would not cover this under warranty. The issue is design or material workmanship related, not an "act of god" or unlucky circumstance. The condenser is not well protected as in other competitive vehicles, so it is more prone to this issue. Other people discussing this issue on an internet "forum" are finding creative ways to protect the condenser with a wire "netting" because they know that just by replacing the condenser does not fix the root cause. Since this is not a safety issue, honda is most likely not going to address this in a responsible manner. At this point, I'll have to ask my insurance to get involved and pay the deductible and potentially have my insurance rates increase if this re-occurs. We will have a "local" honda dealership replace the condenser and associated parts. My objective here is to let more people know that honda has an issue with this design/condenser material in the hopes that they will address it.
My 2008 civic ex l condenser was damaged by a road side debris/stone. I took it to my honda dealer and was informed this is not covered under warranty the to repair would be $725.00 or I could take it to my insurance company see if they will cover the cost. However, I called honda canada since they are so many complaints on the same issue [ design flaw ]. Honda canada gave me same song and dance the dealer gave me and admitting it is a design flaw. This is our 7th honda product but I will not go back to honda any more. I am extremely disappointed with answers I got from the dealership and honda canada.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda civic. While driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact pulled over and removed the oil cap. Smoke began to come out of the oil compartment and the dip stick was melted. The vehicle would not restart and was towed to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the motor block was cracked. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 88,000.
My new honda civic (2010) has had two episodes of random, unpredictable engine revving, the engine revs as if I were going 60 miles an hour and then suddenly somehow went into first gear. The first time it happened the car did accelerate and I hit a snow bank as I was pulling into my driveway. The second time it happened I was going around 35 miles per hour, the engine revved, but the car didn't accelerate. I am taking the car to the dealer tomorrow. It is very scary.
