Incident: July 15, 2026 · Filed: October 26, 2026

The car stalls when driving in low speeds such as 5-6 mph. The happens at random points and the only clear indication that it will happen is when the car has a sudden jump. The car will run normally but once turned off and turned on after some time and driving it, it stalls completely. No warning light comes on and no codes have been successfully found. I have taken the car to the Honda mechanic about 5 times and in neither of those times have replaced parts fixed the issue. The car is a safety hazard for me and my family.

Vehicle experienced immediate severe engine stalling, power loss, and sudden total engine shut-off while moving in live traffic on the road following the execution of NHTSA Recall Campaign MGJ (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump Replacement). The engine stall occurs when mechanical and electrical loads engage, such as the AC compressor or cabin heater at idle and while driving. Diagnostic scan confirms permanent active codes P2187 (System Too Lean at Idle) and P0451 (Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Performance), indicating fuel starvation from the recalled fuel pump assembly under the rear seat. When the engine sputters or shuts off, an immediate electrical warning cascade triggers across multiple safety systems, including Brake Hold System Problem, Power Steering System (EPS) Problem, and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem. Authorized dealership (Joyce Honda) and American Honda Corporate (Case # 166-940-04) refuse to perform a zero-cost inspection and remediation without requiring out-of-pocket diagnostic fees, creating an extreme active road hazard. Video evidence of dashboard failure recorded on-road.

It was diagnosed by my mechanic as needing a new rack and pinion but my situation matches other safety reports made from what I've been reading about. The steering is very notchy, and jerky; especially, when I am steering to the left the wheel pulls and sticks. I have to jerk the wheel back a little bit to get it to go back to the 12:00 position. When I am driving on the highway I have to make little adjustments in order to keep the car where it's supposed to be, and although nothing has happened, thankfully, in terms of an accident, there have been a couple of moments where I really had to jerk the wheel in order to get it to stay in the lane and it was a really dangerous situation. The car has also been making horrible creaking noises that are similar to the other ones I have read about. No warning lights came on or have come on at all.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 MPH into a parking lot on a hot day, a loud booming sound resembling a gunshot occurred upon depressing the brake pedal. No exterior damage was observed. Upon opening the trunk, the contact discovered plastic debris, screws, and springs from the trunk spring assembly. The dealer was contacted and advised that no recall coverage was available. The dealer stated that the failure might have been caused by hydraulic pressure. The required replacement parts were initially backordered but later became available. The contact found similar complaints regarding the issue and associated the failure with TSB Number: 22-013/A22-013. The manufacturer was notified by phone and filed a case; however, the manufacturer confirmed the repair was not covered under warranty or the TSB. The failure mileage was approximately 63,797.

I own a 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback LX that has experienced ongoing air conditioning system failures. Initially, the A/C would blow cold air at night or in cooler temperatures but struggled to provide adequate cooling during warmer weather. Over time, the problem became progressively worse until the A/C stopped producing cold air altogether. I brought my vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership, where the A/C system was inspected. The dealership identified issues involving components covered under Honda's extended A/C warranty and also diagnosed a leaking evaporator. Although Honda agreed to cover certain components under its warranty extension, the evaporator was excluded, leaving me with an estimated $3,000 repair expense. I also contacted Honda regarding goodwill assistance, but my request was denied. My concern is that multiple components within the same A/C system have experienced failures, and repairing the components covered under Honda's warranty does not fully resolve the problem when the evaporator is also leaking. After researching this issue, I found numerous reports from other Honda Civic owners experiencing similar A/C failures. Some owners have reported that even after having their A/C systems repaired, refrigerant leaks or other A/C failures return within approximately 3–4 years, resulting in repeated repairs and expenses. I am concerned that these repairs may only provide temporary relief rather than addressing the underlying causes of the failures. This creates a frustrating and potentially expensive cycle in which owners repeatedly repair or replace A/C components, only to experience similar problems again years later. I am particularly concerned that Honda has acknowledged problems with certain A/C components through warranty extensions while leaving the evaporator excluded, despite reports of similar failures. The loss of air conditioning significantly affects cabin cooling, especially during high temperatures. I am also concerned about th
