2018 Honda Civic FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

vehicle has stalled or almost stalled several times. Twice almost resulting in what could have been a fatal accident. we received the recall letter a few months ago and have waited for the repair. last week received another letter basically stating the same thing with no timeline or actual schedule at all in sight. have called the dealerships and they have no information (actually wanted me to bring in the car for a "diagnosis" at a cost to me to tell me what we all already know....ridiculous. How do I get this fixed before it turns into something fatal? in the meantime no offer of replacement or rental vehicle is out there. How do we get this expedited? already several months have passed with no solution. Help

I was first informed that there was a recall on my 2018 Honda Civic for a fuel system problem back in December 2023. When no information came from Honda USA as to when the dangerous problem would be repaired, I was told by the dealership that the repair would be completed at the latest by April. It is now the end of May and there still no word on when the Honda dealer will have the parts to repair the defect. The contact stated Honda finally fixed the 2018 Civic's faulty fuel pump.

Several occasions between September, and now the car had difficulty starting. I towed it to two different Hondas, Bowie, darcas and Honda in Silver Spring and nobody was able to help me even though they claim to have done diagnostics on the car.

Fuel injectors are failing in my 2018 Honda civic si, causing my short term fuel trim to set at -25 triggering check engine light. This disables multiple functions of the car. And looking for parts a found out that fuel injectors are out of stock.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000(Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the parts for the recall are not yet unavailable. The dealer nor the manufacturer have yet to be notified about the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The contact had yet to be experience a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not yet available.

Car has been triggering engine code P0172, P219D, related to fuel mix being too rich in the cylinders. When I went to order fuel injectors for the vehicle to replace, they are backordered with no date or new part number provided.

Regarding NHTSA Recall Number 23V-858, Honda campaign KGC, Service Bulletin 23-103, the recall notice indicates an increased likelihood of a failed fuel pump while driving, "increasing the risk of a crash or injury". The notice goes on to say "The replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle are not currently available but are expected to be available in the fall of 2024". So, it is possible that this vehicle will remain unrepaired until near the end of 2024, more than 9 months from now. Given the safety concern, how is this acceptable?

In regards to NHTSA Recall number 23V-858, Honda campaign KGC, service bulletin 23-103, the notice states the vehicle could "lose drive power, or stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury." It goes on to state "The replacement parts needed to repair your vehicle are not currently available but are expected to become available in the fall of 2024." Considering the apparent substantial safety risk, how is it acceptable that a repair is delayed by up to 9 months?

Engine began misfiring and would deliver inconsistent power. The fuel injector was faulty and leaked gas into the engine oil.

After the recent fuel pump recall repair, there has been a smell of gasoline for about a month, bad enough that it seems unsafe to keep the car in the garage. (There is no smell of gasoline inside the car.) Fuel mileage has consistently been about 2 mpg lower. The problem is especially bad after refueling, and gradually gets better as the tank empties. The problem returns with the next refueling. There seem to be many cars in the same situation. There is inadequate work dealing with this recall, and dealers are not fixing what they broke, despite the hazard.

I have scheduled and attended several appointments to have my fuel pump replaced as per the recall. The only dealership that is within 20 miles of my home (El Paso Honda 1490 Lee Trevino, 79936) keeps refusing to do the replacement. I have expressed that my engine is losing power when going uphill and when driving on I-10. They refuse because the check engine light isn't on. This recall has been in effect since last year and the dealership keeps blaming Honda stating they cannot order the part unless the check engine light is on.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The fuel injectors do not work!

Fuel injectors failed at 60,000 miles. I do have the failed injectors. The driver's safety was put at risk in the case of engine failure or an unexpected loss of power. This is a common problem documented by owners of the 10th generation Civic Si, other 1.5l turbo Hondas, as well as Honda itself. There was an emission light several weeks ago and an engine light a couple of days ago.

My Honda is only at 80,000 miles and my fuel pump has gone bad already and I wanted to look into this as I feel it’s not right to have my car die in me so early in it’s life for something that should last much longer

Fuel injectors are fouled up at 25k miles, and cause misfires. Problem had been noted on other Honda vehicles and recall had been issued for the 6 cylinder cars, but not for Civics or 4 cylinder cars. Check engine light, and emissions system warning.

Fuel injectors failed before 50k miles. Dealer states this is a common issue seen with these vehicles and is replaced often. Car has unsteady acceleration and jumps with acceleration. Vehicle has had stalling issues when accelerating forward as well. There are no warning messages that appeared on the dash and the car did not cue any codes. This is an extreme driving hazard as it is causing fuel injection issues and a fire hazard while operating the vehicle.

Under acceleration from a stop, a strong smell of gasoline enters the cabin of the vehicle, causing the occupants watery eyes, headaches and dizziness at times. The smell comes an goes intermittently. Oil from the engine has a strong smell of gasoline, and oil level increases with driving. No engine codes are shown and no visible fuel leaks on engine bay. Honda dealership drove vehicle for 5 minutes and problem smell was not noticed then. Honda dealership stated oil dilution problems with this engine only occur in cold weather states.

While I leased this vehicle, I noticed an issue with the fuel door every so often. Every so often, I would press the corner of the fuel door to open but the spring/locking mechanism would not release it. I would have to keep pressing it in over and over or I would have to pry it until it popped open. This was not frequently an issue, the majority of times the fuel door would open without issue.

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.

We believe our issue was caused by wiring harnesses coated in soy-based bio-plastics. In late June 2021 our 2018 Honda Civic emitted a strong odor of gasoline. The gasoline odor was detected 15 feet away from the vehicle. Noxious gasoline fumes were inhaled while driving and posed a health risk to driver and passengers, as well as possible fire hazard due to fumes. On June 30, 2021, the Honda Civic was taken to a local Honda dealership for service. It was inspected and signs of mouse damage on top & battery blanket were detected. Honda replaced fuel lines, pipe set fuel & applied rodent tape. No vehicle warnings, lamps or messages alerted us to the problem. It was the strong odor of gasoline that warned us of a problem. Cost to vehicle owner to repair: $1568 on a vehicle that was under warranty.

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.

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.

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.
