My car has 41k miles on it. While I was driving, the A/C suddenly stopped working and hot air was blowing. I also heard a rumbling noise coming from the engine. I took it to a mechanic a day later, and after a full day of diagnostics, they determined the entire AC compressor unit needs replacing. They could not find this part from any dealer, and none of them had a release date for the part coming in. There were also no after market models of this part made. They contacted honda directly who said they are releasing some 9/29/19 and you can put a deposit down, but there is no guarantee to receive one because of how many people need this part. Several people told me that if none are in stock, and so many people are having this issue, it likely means there is an issue with the part, and honda may be holding off on releasing more. It is unsafe to drive my car currently because if the AC compressor unit locks up it could affect the entire belt which connects all parts of my car, causing it to be completely unable to drive. I also live in texas, and it is in the 100s, and I don't have AC which is a health and safety concern as well.

I have a 2014 honda civic with 136000 on the car that has a transmission problem starting. Some 2014 honda civic were recalled for a transmission problem yet my vehicle, 2014 civic model miss the recall. All civics have a pretty similar setup as far as the engine and transmission. As far as honda goes they are known for there engines lasting a while and having no issues yet I have a transmission issue that is yet unknown and will cost at least 5k to fix. Over the past few days the cars ability to accelerate and downshift has gotten worse. This car has a automatic transmission yet when you slow down then go to accelerate the car jumps gears, you get the feeling as if you are on a motorcycle and it stalls and jumps forward. Along with that there's a slight noice that is working overtime. (incident occurs around 2mph-65)

Vtc actuator makes grinding sound at start up.
Was traveling about 25 MPH on south las vegas boulevard in las vegas, nevada, went to accelerate around a car and pushed the gas pedal down to the floor to kick it into another gear. The engine revved up and the pedal wouldn't come off the floor even when I tried to pry it off with my foot.. The car continued to rev uncontrollable until I put it in neutral and shut the car off as I traveled down the road. I pulled into a parking lot. There, at a stop, I started the car, put it in neutral, pushed the gas pedal to the floor to see if it would do it again and the car revved up. I let my foot off the gas, and the car continued to rev up with the pedal not returning back towards me-stuck to the floor board again. I had to shut it off again to release the pedal and stop the revving.
