2013 Honda Civic fuel system problems

Filed Sep 22, 2025 · Electrical, Engine · GA

The hybrid motor DC to DC convert failed. When this fails it stops providing 12 V power to the rest of the vehicle resulting in multiple systems stopping or working very slowly. This vehicle does not have a traditional alternator. There was a TSB and an extended warranty offered to some models, but not all included in the VIN range for this vehicle. The vehicle was scanned and pulls the same codes as the TSB notes as the issue.

Car sitting on level ground, driven previous day with no problem. Upon unsuccessfully trying to start car, I smelled strong gasoline odor. I turned off ignition and opened hood and observed nothing unusual. I backed car up enough to get out to check for gas puddle. There was a puddle about 24 inches across of gasoline where car had been parked. I have arranged to have vehicle towed to independent auto repair. Note: gas was leaking from above rear driver's side wheel.

Put the car into reverse, backed up, put the car into drive, applied pressure to the gas peddle, then car then jerked, shook, had to pull over to let car rest, drove slow back home. Since then around 3000 rpm the car will hesitate. Replaced spark plugs, put in Sea Foam engine cleaning solution Diagnostic computer does not show anything wrong.

The car would cut out while in motion during a turn. (it looks like I'm stalling). Other times I will be driving straight and feel the care losing power the more I pushed on the gas. Once I let my foot off it would have power to go again. This happens more often while on city streets then highway speeds. In march, when I went to start car the car dashboard went mad flashing and the car wouldn't start. I was able to jump start the car. I changed the battery and it continues to stall. I notice that the newer vehicles are doing the same thing and wonder if its the same issue that needs addressing.

I started my car and noticed a gasoline smell. Drivers side door was open. While the car was still running I stepped around to check the exhaust and noticed liquid pouring from underneath my car on the drivers side near the rear wheel. I realized this was gasoline coming from somewhere near the gas tank. It only poured out when it the cars ignition was in the the 2nd position and running - meaning while the fuel system was under pressure. Having it towed at great expense to carmax. I could have died had I not seen this huge leak!!!

Driving south through salt lake city freeway, the cab filled with noxious raw gas fumes, no warning lamps on the dash. Pulled off the freeway and inspected engine, trunk, interior and under the car for a gas leak and found nothing. Continued on our way and returned to california, heading for 29 palms via kelso, calif. When we got fumes again only heavier, combined with tighten fuel cap warning screen on dash. Again inspected car, reinstalled fuel cap several times. No leaks detected, aired out car and got the same condition every time we gained significant altitude. The next day we replaced the fuel cap and so far no flammable fumes. Thank god neither of us smoke.

Vehicle hesitates under acceleration. Sometimes almost stalling. I feel this is not safe for my son at times. Merging etc. I called honda service and they said they have had this issue come up with other people. They said it had to do with the econ mode. I drove the car with it off and still does it at times. Very concerned. I am taking it in to find out what is going on. Not good!

Mileage consistently 20.8, far low than represented with conservative driving. Dealer test drive 50 mpg. Other dealer represents all test drives come back 50 mpg. Alleging fraud by honda on test drives (maybe similar to vw exhaust testing). Called honda hq, only told they will document complaint, but had to insist to give VIN again as customer service person claimed accidentally deleted when I asked if he could id who make the complaint. My previous honda, accord v6 got better mileage. Purchased vehicle new april 2014.
