My car makes like a clicking noise intermittently while accelerating. When it's making this noise it has stopped accelerating. I have to release my foot off the gas for a couple seconds then when I accelerate, it is back to normal.this does not happen every day anymore but at one point it was happening pretty much at least once a day. I took it to the honda dealership in october 2020 nd november 2020 and asked them to find out what's wrong. I told them it may be the fuel pump/system or something with the accelerator, and preceded to tell them about the noise. Both times they could not recreate the noise and therefore could not fix or diagnose the issue. It happens when accelerating from a stop, on a hill, accelerating quickly, and sometimes just good old fashioned regular accelerating. It has made me lose trust in the car like I could be turning or passing someone and it happens when everyone ond is critical. Needless to say I have been accelerating very slowly to try to limit the amount of times it happens but it still happens. City streets and highways.
2018 Honda Civic fuel system complaints
Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 175 of 175, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The fuel door actuator started to make a loud buzzing noise at 38,500 miles after 2 years and 3 months of use. The actuator failed because it is locking and unlocking constantly with the vehicle. This is a common complaint with all hondas that utilize this function for the fuel door.
In july 2020 I took my car to lancaster honda in lancaster, ca for routine maintenance. They pointed out that there was a recall and they would order the part and call me to schedule an appointment for the repair. Nothing happened. In october 2020 I made an appointment for the recall repair stating exactly what I needed done. The day before they called to confirm the appointment. I took the car in on the scheduled appointment day and the customer service agent said no part had been ordered and the repair could not be done. I said you confirmed the appointment with me so why would you do that if you did not have the part. He apologized and said they would order the part and contact me to schdule the appointment to put it in. It is now mid november and I have still heard nothing from the dealership.
While vehicle is stationary for a few days, the back windshield shattered out of nowhere. The fuel system has been getting error codes. Air conditioning also runs hot instead of cold sometimes. Engine light comes on a lot.
My car stutters when I turn on cold start and when I accelerate on any gear it stutters like the fuel is cutting off. And for my transmission it's hard to change gears then it's normal then it's hard randomly
First oil change at 4965mi. Indicates odor of gasoline coming from the oil dipstick in the engine compartment.
The oil dipstick smells of gasoline. The turbo charger technology is allowing gas to push past the oil and into the engine. Oil and gas shouldn't be mixing.
Emissions system problem, car is acting weird and giving a kick back when driving
2018 honda civic hatchback, gasoline smell in cabin occurred on 8/16/2019. 1.5l oil dilution could be cause of issue.
Accelerating up to 60 MPH car began to jerk violently. Flashing check engine light came on and all control of gas petal was lost until car slowed to under 20 - 25 MPH. Obd2 codes pulled and reported misfiring in cylinder 1. Car not able to be driven under any normal conditions as misfiring has intensified. 2018 honda civic si
Oil diluted with fuel (3/4" above the full mark on the dipstick) - this is a problem with honda's 1.5 turbo engine (civic, crv). Others with this issue have reported their vehicles stalling while driving at 70 MPH -- definitely a safety issue.
Excess fuel is entering the engine oil which is diluting the oil and causing premature wear.
Changed oil at 40 % life and found gasoline in oil not sure how much but very strong oder.
At 2025 miles my 2018 civicthat I had for 2ish months started smelling like fuel in the cab. So I looked it up and the earth dreams motor is having oil dilution problems and it is becoming more common. So I checked my oil and found my car a quart overfull with fuel in my oil. I then had it towed to the dealership where they gave it a free oil change and said that there is no fix andit is normal. The oil viscosity will deteriorate eventual leaving me witha knock or disabled on the side of the road. It is an issue that can cause a crash or sickness when the noxious gas smell comes back. I have now put 450 miles on it since the oil change and am smelling fuel in my oil again.
Had to have to many oil changes, almost one a month , not good on the milage then a camry maybe would hold off that many changes.
