This was such a strange occurance. After pulling off from a stop sign attempting a right turn, my vehicle stalled, readjusted, then stalled again. I was driving on a cobblestone road while it was raining, but did not find any issues with vision or traction.

My 2018 Honda Civic had caught on fire two days ago coming onto Florida’s turnpike car was running just fine had no signs of anything going wrong with it come to come on to the turnpike and what sounded like the engine blowing up so I pulled over top the hood and the engine is on fire so I got a grab something and put it out there won’t go out so then the AC line gets hot and explodes luckily the road ranger was right behind us otherwise the whole car would’ve went up in flames I personally think with all of what I’ve read that Honda needs to recall the engine which is a 1.5 dual overhead cam turbo or fix it or the people that have had the same situation like me needs to have their money returned or car bought back something or they give you a new vehicle toes that’s ridiculous just random combustion I have also had them service engine light codes come on and then I will turn the car off turn it back on and it’s not on anymore and it does this on the random also had lack of power ever since I bought it

I got a new alternator because I thought it was draining the battery. A few weeks later I didn’t drive my car for 3 days and the engine would not start but all the lights would turn on. I got it jumped and took it the dealership and they still don’t know what is wrong with it.

I took my car in to the honda dealership because my AC had stopped blowing cold air, rendering it useless to me because temps go up to 90 and above. The dealer told me that it was a faulty part but would not be covered under warranty (3yr/36000) as I was approximately 10000 miles over, even though I had bought the car new and had only had it a year and a half.

Honda civic 2018 manual transmission. Occasionally, while in motion on city streets, when shifting into 2nd or 3rd gear the gears won't fully engage. The clutch needs to be disengaged and reengage and the car shifted into nuetral and back into gear before the gears will seat properly.
