The car loses power when going up hills and has stalled twice. If I lightly bump the shift while driving it goes into neutral. I must use the emergency brake when parked even on a flat surface or the car will roll.

This has happened more than once. When descending a hill after letting up on gas pedal the vehicle will rev up for a few of seconds and hitting the brakes did not disengage throttle, also when passing another vehicle after pulling in and let up on pedal the car still revved up for a couple of seconds. Have not taken to a dealer yet as I am trying to find exactly how and when this problem occurs so I can get the dealer to reproduce this problem (speed, road conditions, and any other conditions that might cause this problem). As we all know they can never get the problems to reproduce.
Turned key to start and nothing happened; some warning lights went off, but no sound from starter, solenoid or other engine parts. Released key and turned key to start again; on second try, engine started properly. Sometimes, I may turn the key twice with nothing happening and engine starts on third try. Happens intermittently; can happen when engine is cold or hot.
Car was driven approx 3 miles then was parked for approx. 10 minutes. When returning to the car fire trucks were at the car putting out the fire. The entire engine compartment caught on fire. Car was destroyed. Kearny, nj police report #[xxx] stated that they (tow truck operator and the police officer) observed a broken fuel line. I found out about the recall for fuel delivery system after the fire. My friend and I went to the dealer, garden state honda on river road in passaic and saw the manager. He stated that he would not talk to us if either one of us was an attorney. We gave him a binder with a series of 8.5 x 11 photos of the car and copies of the recall found on the internet. A rep called to tell me that the matter was between the insurance company (allstate) and honda USA. My friend called the manager who when asked about the situation got angry and refused to talk anymore about it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Passenger airbag while driving, had an 11yr about 100lbs, if kid slightly moved I would get the airbag warning. Brakes sometimes it feels like I have to completely "floor" the brakes to stop the car, even tho speed its at about 30mph fuel when tank is almost empty, the light, screen and 'ding' would go on non-stop until refueled display the mileage number would start blinking randomly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda civic. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was filled to capacity, a strong fuel odor emitted through the cabin and a hissing noise was heard. The contact suffered carbon monoxide symptoms of memory loss fatigue and recurring headaches. The contact recently received notification of a voluntary manufacturer's recall product update to replace the fuel receptacle and fuel pipe. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000 and the current mileage was 21,000.
I am a fuel efficient driver, drive with the econ button on mos of the time. I drive 150 miles 5 times a week. Every time I am going downhill and I push the brakes to slow down, the RPM's go up. I also tried driving without the econ to see if it would change and the same thing happened. You would think by hitting the brakes a little harder would do the trick to decrease speed, but it doesn't. As you start holding the breaks for a long time, then the rps would decrease. I have looked online and many people are saying the same thing. Example: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/210-engine/350659-2012-honda-civic-ex-engine-braking-econ-button.html.
There is no accident, here is problem: I have 6840 miles on a 2012 honda civic lx 4dr. When fuel tank filled to all the way, the fuel was slapping about front to back while hit brake or parking. It makes a loud noise and fuel slam into the wall of fuel tank. I went to honda local dealer and they tell me this is normal, you are not first one to complaint, but there is no service bulletin to it. This is unsafe, 10 gal gas flow in tank will throw off the balance while you make turns, or cause damage sensors in the tank, or cause fuel system leak even fire.
You can hear the fuel moving around the gas tank and banging against the gas tank walls whenever I stop. It is most severe when the tank is full. I complained to the honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle about the noise. The dealer let me know that the noise I was hearing was the fuel moving around in the fuel tank, due to a design change in the 2012 model which removed the fuel tank baffles. The dealer will not fix this issue on my car. I called and wrote to honda directly complaining about this issue and requesting resolution and they have not responded.
2012 honda civic. Consumer writes in regards to a news article regarding fuel line leak due to a malfunctioning error
When my 2012 civics fuel tank is filled all the way, the gas seems to flush back and forth while stopping or parking on hills. It makes a loud noise and the gas slams into the walls of the fuel tank. This is unsafe because it throws off the balance of the car by having the gas flow in such an abrupt manner. In no way, shape, or form should a 2012 civic have this problem. The last thing a new car owner wants is a loud noise from the fuel tank everytime they brake, stop, or park on hills. The dealership said there was nothing they could do about it and that all the other 2012 civics had the same problem. Honda needs to fix this issue.
Tl* the contact owns 2012 honda civic. The contact stated that there was a fuel leak and the vehicle pulled toward the right while driving. The dealer attempted on two occasions to repair the alignment failure, but was unsuccessful. The manufacturer informed the contact that there was a recall, but she would have to pay to have the vehicle repaired. The federal safety agency campaign id number was 11v288000 (fuel system, other: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The contact planned on taking the vehicle in to an authorized dealer and the manufacturer would be notified. The failure mileage was 6,000.
