2013 Honda Civic Engine

Evap system light also comes on at lower temperatures, and sporadically at warmer temperatures. It used to happen only once every couple of weeks, but now it comes on (and eventually turns off again) every day. Throws the codes P0497 - Evaporative Emission System Low Purge Flow and P145C - Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Range/Performance Problem. I've had my purge flow valve replaced, and not even two months later both errors have come back. My mechanic has looked at the car and cannot figure out what's going on, but lots of people online are having the same issue, which makes me think it's not just me.

Ac compressor /condenser system - endangers engine as it can cause overheating in engine. Should have similar warranty for original parts as the Honda civic ac recalls for 2016-2019 models.

SEAL ON THE ENGINE BLOCK IS LEAKING OIL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SWITCHED TO LIMP MODE AND DECELERATED TO LESS THAN 15 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PENSKE HONDA (4140 E. 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN). THE DEALER REPLACED FOUR ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS, SPARK PLUGS, AND THE CKR UNIT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

HARD GEAR SHIFTER, DIFFICULT TO PUT CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 55 IN SOUTH JERSEY AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APPROX. 55 MPH), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ENGINE POWER WAS DIMINISHED. WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GET OFF NEARBY EXIT AND DRIVE TO PARKING LOT. VEHICLE ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT UP EXIT RAMP. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS WAS #2 CYLINDER HAD FAILED. CAR ONLY HAD JUST OVER 63,000 MILES ON IT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT HONDA EVENTUALLY COVERED 50% ($2,545.30). CAR WAS GARAGED KEPT AND ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH DANGEROUS HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE IT ON RECORD IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES WHICH MAY INDICATE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT OCCURRED ON A WELL-MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT CAR AT ONLY 63,000 MILES. I HAVE UPLOADED A COPY OF THE REPAIR ORDER INDICATING WHAT COMPONENTS FAILED AND WERE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SEAL WAS MISSING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM BETWEEN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE TIMING BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2013 HONDA CIVIC SI. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION BROKE, THE DEALER REPAIRED IT, BUSTED OUT MY WINDSHIELD AND DENTED UP THE FENDERS, IT TOOK THEM A YEAR TO FIX EVERY THING. THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION BROKE IT IS THE SHIFT CABLE. THEY HAVE NOW SENT A HONDA CORPORATE INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE IF SOME HOW I CREATED THE DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT AND I BABY THIS THING. I AM CONCERNED IF THE CABLE HAS SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING IT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WOULD I BE HERE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NOW. I MAY HAVE TO GET AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS TECHNICALLY A LEMON. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE, AND I REALLY WANT TO GET A BETTER CAR.

DEALER SERVICE CENTER IDENTIFIED AN OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER COVER. DEALER INDICATED, "NOT ENOUGH HONDABOND REMOVED TIMING TENSIONER COVER PLATE, CLEANED AREA, RESEALED COVER WITH HONDABOND, AND REINSTALLED. RECHECKED AFTER OIL CHANGE AND FOUND NO LEAKS AT THIS TIME". *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55-60 MPH. WANTED TO PRESS "HAZARD WARNING BUTTON" AND BY ACCIDENT PRESSED THE "ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON". BECAUSE "HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS" DID NOT START FLASHING I AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED THE "ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON" SECOND TIME - THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. SINCE ENGINE WAS OFF BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN ENGINE ON WHILE CAR WAS MOVING - AS YOU CAN DO IT ONLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ON "P" (PARKING) - AND YOU CANNOT SWITCH TRANSMISSION INTO "P" (MODE) WHEN CAR IS MOVING AT 60 MPG. BY LUCK I WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR OVER WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE I WAS STUPID AND THAT IS MY MISTAKE THAT BY ACCIDENT I PRESSED A WRONG BUTTON, HOWEVER, THERE SHOULD BE NO WAY THE ENGINE CAN GO OFF WHILE CAR IS MOVING UNDER ANY CONDITIONS AND ANY DRIVERS ACTIONS BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY MAY LEADS TO A CRASH WHICH COULD BE AVOID ONLY BY A LUCK. I CONSIDER IT IS AS EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND FIXED. *TR

ATTENTION TO ALL WHO READ & COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR 2013 HONDA CIVIC. GO TO YOUR INTERNET & SEARCH DRIVE BY WIRE. THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHY OUR CAR DRIVES SO AWFUL AND YES, ACCIDENT PRONE. OUR VEHICLES - NEWS FLASH - ARE MANUFACTURED WITH THE NEW (WELL, AROUND 2003-ISH) (NOT REAL SURE NOW) DRIVE BY WIRE. MY OLD 1997 HONDA CIVIC WOULD DRIVE THIS 2013 IN THE GROUND. IT'S NEW TECHNOLOGY. NO MORE DRIVE BY THROTTLE. IF YOU WANT YOUR POWER, EITHER GET A MANUAL TRANSMISSION OR GET AN OLD CAR. PEACE TO ALL WHO READ. (( I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WEIRD WITH THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 13 MILES - BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT TILL I DID RESEARCH AND BOY, WAS I ENLIGHTENED. SO, LOSS OF POWER - WHICH I DID FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT THEN I FOUND OUT - OH, NICE, NEW TECHNOLOGY. YOU CAN ALSO FIND OUT THE INFORMATION ON ANY BLOG FOR ANY HONDA OWNER - WHO IS A SERIOUS MECHANIC )) DRIVE BY WIRE - KNOWN AS DBW OR OUR OLD WAY OF CARS - DRIVE BY THROTTLE - OR DBT. *TR

SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU FEEL HELPLESS UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN (WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO). I HAVE LEARNED TO COMPENSATE , BUT THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR
