2014 Honda Civic Engine Problems

Your engine is making a knocking or pinging sound, which could indicate issues with fuel quality, engine timing, or internal engine components. This noise typically gets worse during acceleration or when the engine is under load. A mechanic will need to diagnose the exact cause, which could involve checking your fuel octane rating, ignition timing, or inspecting internal engine parts.

See attached document for complaint.

I was driving towards freeway and when merging into the lane, my car shut off. Fortunately it was very busy and full of cars on the freeway that I was able to start up my car yet frightening since we had 4 people in the car which included my mother. Later within 30 minutes we were at s traffic light waiting to go forward and the engine shut off again. It was a warm day around 60 degrees. Why is my car doing this? Taking to shop to hopefully fix this problem.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

MY CAR HAS 41K MILES ON IT. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE A/C SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND HOT AIR WAS BLOWING. I ALSO HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC A DAY LATER, AND AFTER A FULL DAY OF DIAGNOSTICS, THEY DETERMINED THE ENTIRE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT NEEDS REPLACING. THEY COULD NOT FIND THIS PART FROM ANY DEALER, AND NONE OF THEM HAD A RELEASE DATE FOR THE PART COMING IN. THERE WERE ALSO NO AFTER MARKET MODELS OF THIS PART MADE. THEY CONTACTED HONDA DIRECTLY WHO SAID THEY ARE RELEASING SOME 9/29/19 AND YOU CAN PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN, BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE TO RECEIVE ONE BECAUSE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED THIS PART. SEVERAL PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IF NONE ARE IN STOCK, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, IT LIKELY MEANS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART, AND HONDA MAY BE HOLDING OFF ON RELEASING MORE. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR CURRENTLY BECAUSE IF THE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT LOCKS UP IT COULD AFFECT THE ENTIRE BELT WHICH CONNECTS ALL PARTS OF MY CAR, CAUSING IT TO BE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO DRIVE. I ALSO LIVE IN TEXAS, AND IT IS IN THE 100S, AND I DON'T HAVE AC WHICH IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL.

HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING AT 6-10 MILES PER HOUR. ALSO, 16-20 MILES PER HOUR. PROBLEM OCCURS ON SLIGHT UPHILL BUT IS NOT ALL THE TIME.

HESITATION WHEN PRESS ON ACCELERATOR. THEY IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN GETTING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN YOU PRESS ON ACCELERATOR THERE IS A LONG HESITATION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL AND CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.
