Fuel injectors failed at 60,000 miles. I do have the failed injectors. The driver's safety was put at risk in the case of engine failure or an unexpected loss of power. This is a common problem documented by owners of the 10th generation Civic Si, other 1.5l turbo Hondas, as well as Honda itself. There was an emission light several weeks ago and an engine light a couple of days ago.
Fuel injectors failed before 50k miles. Dealer states this is a common issue seen with these vehicles and is replaced often. Car has unsteady acceleration and jumps with acceleration. Vehicle has had stalling issues when accelerating forward as well. There are no warning messages that appeared on the dash and the car did not cue any codes. This is an extreme driving hazard as it is causing fuel injection issues and a fire hazard while operating the vehicle.
My Honda is only at 80,000 miles and my fuel pump has gone bad already and I wanted to look into this as I feel it-??s not right to have my car die in me so early in it-??s life for something that should last much longer
Strong smell of fuel in the cabin due to known Honda oil dilution associated with the 1.5 turbo engine. Honda has a -??fix-?? for issue but states only cold weather states are affected. Our 2018 Honda Civic has had this issue for over 2 years now. Strong smell of fuel in the oil, along with oil above normal mark on dipstick. On oil change, oil is filled to the normal mark (3.7 quarts) and upon oil change, 4.5 quarts will come out (likely fuel in the oil). The major safety issue is that the smell of fuel in the cabin is strong to the point of causing driver and passengers to have burning eyes, and in some occasions, dizziness. No warning lights have come on as a result of this issue. Vehicle was taken to dealership over a year ago and dealership stated this is a problem in cold weather states and not in California. Dealership could not replicate issue.

Fuel injectors are fouled up at 25k miles, and cause misfires. Problem had been noted on other Honda vehicles and recall had been issued for the 6 cylinder cars, but not for Civics or 4 cylinder cars. Check engine light, and emissions system warning.
Actuator Assy., Fuel Lid (FUEL FILL DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR). Repeatedly locks and unlocks (making a gun shot noise loudly) every time I get in and out of the vehicle. Yes, it is available for inspection at any time. My safety or the safety of others could be at risk with the open gas cap, constant moving electrical components, and to be left stranded unable to open the gas door. The Problem was talked about with the Honda dealership. They said it was a common problem. That Honda knows about. No warning lamps or any notification.
While I leased this vehicle, I noticed an issue with the fuel door every so often. Every so often, I would press the corner of the fuel door to open but the spring/locking mechanism would not release it. I would have to keep pressing it in over and over or I would have to pry it until it popped open. This was not frequently an issue, the majority of times the fuel door would open without issue.
Under acceleration from a stop, a strong smell of gasoline enters the cabin of the vehicle, causing the occupants watery eyes, headaches and dizziness at times. The smell comes an goes intermittently. Oil from the engine has a strong smell of gasoline, and oil level increases with driving. No engine codes are shown and no visible fuel leaks on engine bay. Honda dealership drove vehicle for 5 minutes and problem smell was not noticed then. Honda dealership stated oil dilution problems with this engine only occur in cold weather states.
There is fuel leaking into engine oil and thinning it out. My mechanic said there's a software issue causing it but a recall hasn't happened for it. It's hurting my car performance and making my car speed up faster even when breaking.
We believe our issue was caused by wiring harnesses coated in soy-based bio-plastics. In late June 2021 our 2018 Honda Civic emitted a strong odor of gasoline. The gasoline odor was detected 15 feet away from the vehicle. Noxious gasoline fumes were inhaled while driving and posed a health risk to driver and passengers, as well as possible fire hazard due to fumes. On June 30, 2021, the Honda Civic was taken to a local Honda dealership for service. It was inspected and signs of mouse damage on top & battery blanket were detected. Honda replaced fuel lines, pipe set fuel & applied rodent tape. No vehicle warnings, lamps or messages alerted us to the problem. It was the strong odor of gasoline that warned us of a problem. Cost to vehicle owner to repair: $1568 on a vehicle that was under warranty.
My car makes like a clicking noise intermittently while accelerating. When it's making this noise it has stopped accelerating. I have to release my foot off the gas for a couple seconds then when I accelerate, it is back to normal.this does not happen every day anymore but at one point it was happening pretty much at least once a day. I took it to the Honda dealership in October 2020 nd November 2020 and asked them to find out what's wrong. I told them it may be the fuel pump/system or something with the accelerator, and preceded to tell them about the noise. Both times they could not recreate the noise and therefore could not fix or diagnose the issue. It happens when accelerating from a stop, on a hill, accelerating quickly, and sometimes just good old fashioned regular accelerating. It has made me lose trust in the car like I could be turning or passing someone and it happens when everyone ond is critical. Needless to say I have been accelerating very slowly to try to limit the amount of times it happens but it still happens. City streets and highways.
The fuel door actuator started to make a loud buzzing noise at 38,500 miles after 2 years and 3 months of use. The actuator failed because it is locking and unlocking constantly with the vehicle. This is a common complaint with all Honda that utilize this function for the fuel door.
In July 2020 I took my car to lancaster Honda in lancaster, ca for routine maintenance. They pointed out that there was a recall and they would order the part and call me to schedule an appointment for the repair. Nothing happened. In October 2020 I made an appointment for the recall repair stating exactly what I needed done. The day before they called to confirm the appointment. I took the car in on the scheduled appointment day and the customer service agent said no part had been ordered and the repair could not be done. I said you confirmed the appointment with me so why would you do that if you did not have the part. He apologized and said they would order the part and contact me to schdule the appointment to put it in. It is now mid November and I have still heard nothing from the dealership.
While vehicle is stationary for a few days, the back windshield shattered out of nowhere. The fuel system has been getting error codes. Air conditioning also runs hot instead of cold sometimes. Engine light comes on a lot.
My car stutters when I turn on cold start and when I accelerate on any gear it stutters like the fuel is cutting off. And for my transmission it's hard to change gears then it's normal then it's hard randomly
The oil dipstick smells of gasoline. The turbo charger technology is allowing gas to push past the oil and into the engine. Oil and gas shouldn't be mixing.
