  • 137,000 miles
My 1999 Honda Civic caught on fire November 11 it was 11:45 pm my car was parked within 6 feet of my house my dog alerted me by barking and going crazy I was asleep so got up and went to the bathroom, and noticed a bright flickering light went outside to see what was causing this and saw my car on fire: Drivers side. It looked to me the fire was right above the tire, and also the fire dept. Confirmed that don't know if it was the tire, or electrical system I owned the car for approximately 6 months I had no insurance so was out $4,000.

Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 116,000 miles
About 3 weeks ago, I was driving home from work and made a right turn at a stop light and all of the sudden the car stopped. I nearly got hit, and I was able to coast to the side of the road. The car would not start again. I had it towed to the station across the street from where it died. They replaced the distributor cap and coil in it. This all cost me $710. Then 4 days ago I was driving home on a local road by home and the car just quit on me again. I have someone looking at it and they thought it was the tps but that's not it. They can't figure out what's going on. I had the ignition switch replaced when the recall came out for that a few years ago. Maybe that's the problem again?
