2019 Honda Civic Engine

Signs of head gasket failure at approximately 67,000 miles

Gasoline mixes with the engine oil and causes the vehicle to stop / slow down to 8 mph while moving on highway. Oil smells like gasoline.

Many owners of the same car are experiencing water entering from the hood scoop and dripping onto the 4th cylinder causing the coils and spark plug to rust and will throw a check engine light. Honda knows about it and won’t fix it. Clearly there’s a default on how the car was design and Honda should have a fix to correct this issues.

I WAS RECENTLY CHARGED FOR A REPAIR TO MY 2019 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R BY CHAPMAN HONDA OF TUCSON, ARIZONA.CHAPMAN HONDA INCORRECTLY BLAMES THE REPAIR ON WASHING THE CAR/ENGINE.SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH INTO THE ISSUE SHOWS THE ISSUE OF WATER PRESENT IN SPARK PLUG CYLINDERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAVE OCCURRED GLOBALLY, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WASHING ANY PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE WIRE HARDNESS WAS BITTEN BY RATS TWICE IN TWO YEARS BECAUSE HONDA USES SOY BASED WIRES AND WE ARE NOT INFORMED.

THIS CAR WAS JUST RELEASED FROM BEING 'FIXED,' AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DAY AFTER THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS SINCE 5000 MILES AND IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A NEW CAR. IT'S A LEMON. 1. ENGINE CYLINDERS FLOODED WITH COOLANT 2. ENGINE NOT WORKING 3. DASHBOARD COMPUTER FLASHING ALL SYSTEMS FAILURE (SINCE 30 DAYS AFTER CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 11/2019. NEVER RESOLVED). 4. HEATER NOT WORKING. ENTIRE AC SYSTEM REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID SOME VALVE HAD GONE OUT AS WELL. THAT'S NEVER BEEN MADE CLEAR TO ME IN SPITE OF REPEATED INQUIRIES. 5. CAR OUT OF SERVICE SINCE FEB 23 TO DATE. HONDA CORPORATE HAS TOLD ME TO POUND SAND. TO GO MAKE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT.
