I do not have a garage. A friend kept my car while I was on vacation and put it in his garage. Then he smelled gasoline. He took it to my mechanic and the fuel pump top had cracked and there was a lot of gasoline sitting on top of it. My mechanic replaced the fuel pump. Honda said this is not a problem, I believe it is a manufacturing defect and a safety issue. The car has never been in an accident. Fire potential in an accident is huge.

Civic 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 39,289 miles
2001 Honda Civic ex 5sp with 39,289 miles stalled when engine is warm. Driving on highway and when shifted RPM's immediately dropped and engine stalled. This created an extremely dangerous situation as no power steering. I was able to restart engine and as long I kept gas peddle depressed the engine wouldn't stall. When the engine was cold the engine wouldn't stall but didn't idle properly. This happened unexpectedly. Car had been running fine. The car was returned to the Honda dealer where purchased and they verified problem. They said they had to reprogram the computer but couldn't identify the root cause of the problem. Description of work they performed was "updated vehicle PCM with him". since they reprogrammed the computer the vehicle has been running good. However, I'm concerned that they can't determine the cause of the problem and that it will happen again.

While traveling approximately 25 to 30 mph and making a turn, engine stalled and caused steering column to lock up. This problem did not result in a crash or injuries. Dealership examined vehicle for engine stalling, but has failed to remedy the problem. While driving, consumer heard a metal to metal sound coming from right wheel well. Consumer was told computer was not set properly according to the VIN code, this was a service bulletin, dealer stated this could be why stalling was occurring, 4 fuses blew and now dealer replaced fuse box, dealer thinks this may be a reason why the vehicle stalled also, dealer also states that he does not know why the fuses blew to begin with, the blown fuse caused moonroof to be inoperable. Vents loose. Trunk release inoperable. Springs squeak and were replaced. Defective weld in the passenger side door rusted. Vehicle experiences rough idle. Driver side tweeter cracking. Driver side mud flap loose. Passenger kick panel uneven. Fuel gauge erratic.
