Was driving on the freeway when suddenly my car engine shuts off. There IS still power too the car but the speed odometer doesn't work, along with whatever IS used to monitor the milage I have traveled. I have to switch it too low gear in order too keep it going or the car stops even when im going 65. It has happened now multiple times and when shifted into park it won't shift out of park for several hours. I have to disconnect the battery terminals too reset the codes because if I don't ill end up sitting in my car several hours before I can start moving again. The lights that illuminate are the brake system, check engine light, and ima system all amber. If I didnt act as I did this time it would have been like the first time where I actually did stop on the freeway causing for a traffic jam, not only was that embarrassing it was also scary being stuck in the furtherest left lane with no shoulder on the left side too pull off the freeway and all the cars speeding at 65 mph or more by me .

"Vehicle shudder problem" I have been experiencing a jolting/shuddering issue with my vehicle since I purchased it in 2013. When accelerating from a stop position, the vehicle shudders with the steering vibrating before moving. On a snowing or raining day, some skidding occurs which has the potential to cause safety issues. It appears that there has been recalls in some asian countries, I would encourage similar recall in north america from honda. I called honda customer service @ 1-800-999-1009 this morning, and was informed there IS no shudder recall at this time. It would be desirable if the administration could liaise with honda. We shouldn't really wait until there IS fatalities before an action IS taken. Let's save lives!

Gas tank cracked at 132K miles, leaking gas, fumes in cabin and causing a safety concern. It's unclear exactly when it happened, but it was in the driveway, stationary and emitting fumes after being filled up with gas when I first noticed and stopped driving it. Turns out, honda knew about the issue and issued a technical bulletin to dealerships extendingwarranty for 10 years or 120,000 miles but despite regular services and other recall fixes, I was never informed that this could be an issue, and the tank was never checked for cracks by the dealership service.

My son purchased this vehicle from an individual at a dealership. Drove the car home with no problems, the check engine light was on and the seller did tell him there was an issue with the ima battery, but that it didn't keep from driving it. Didn't crank the car for 2 days. When we put the 10 day tag to get inspection done it wouldn't start. Took the 12 v battery out got it tested and showed bad battery. Replaced the battery, drove around and it died the steering stopped, the lights started flickering and it wouldn't restart. We took the new battery out got it recharged but are unable to drive it more than 10 miles without it flooding power and finally leaving stranded. If it was a standard vehicle I would say it was the alternate but this car doesn't have that. The ima battery needs to be replaced and without it the car IS trash. what can we do with this car? I can't sell it, that wouldn't be right. The man who sold this car to my son was wrong in doing so.

Takata recall - my son was driving this car and hit another car from the rear on a us highway. This car was totaled. Six airbags went off in the car he hit, but none went off in this car. He sustained minor physical injuries, but has been emotionally traumatized and requires psychosocial therapy. I have been unable to contact anyone who will help us.

While driving the power steering disengages leaving me without any power steering making it extremely difficult to turn my steering wheel in either direction. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when this will occur. Only that it will usually happen after about 20 minutes of steady driving. Sometimes it happens when I'm going straight and other times when I'm going around a bend. It has shut off on me while traveling at speeds of 65, 55, 40, 30, 20, all the way down to 5 mph right as I'm preparing to park my vehicle. Fortunately, the first time it happened about a month ago I happened to be going straight. I don't know what would have happened had it occurred 20 seconds earlier when I was going around a bend. Ever since then I stay hyper vigilant w/ 2 hands on the wheel, so if it does happen while turning I'll be able to muscle my way through the turn. Sure enough, yesterday evening I got the opportunity to test my reflexes. While traveling 35 mph on a backroad highway I began to turn into the sharp bend in the road when suddenly the steering warning light illuminated, and the power steering simultaneously disengaged. As I began to drift over into the yellow line w/ on-coming cars whizzing past, I decisively put every ounce of might I had into turning the wheel as fast and as far right as I could until I could get my car safely to the shoulder. I narrowly escaped a head-on collision. with a sigh of relief, I put the vehicle in park, activated my hazards and shut off my car for about 2 minutes. That usually does the trick. When I restart my car, I can usually expect the power steering to return. As I continue to drive the issue almost always seems to resurface within 10 minutes or so. The fact that the power steering just randomly disengages for apparently no reason whatsoever IS obviously a serious safety concern. This really needs to be investigated.

I just bought a car from a small used car dealer last NOV.9, 2015. I can save money for my gasoline expenses because the car I bought IS a hybrid. I drove home this car with my son with 1/4 tank (25%) gasoline in the tank. But, after 3-days since the gasoline was below 1/4 of the tank, I full tank my car with gasoline (full tank). The next day when I open my garage from inside the house, I smell very strong gasoline vapor. I thought it's only some container of chemical in the garage that I smell that really smell terrible. I checked the bottom of the ground and I saw gas spilling onto the ground underneath the gasoline tank. By checking a lot of reviews from consumers/ automobile owner of 2006 honda civic hybrid. There's a lot of issue of crack gasoline tank of this particular car,leaking from the rubber gasket between the gas tank and the fuel filler neck also. When the gasoline IS leaking on the ground that goes all the way to the bottom of the gasoline tank, while running the friction of the running metal wheels can start a fire. it's very dangerous also in the public. My vin# [xxx]. I checked the online report that the american honda are extending 2006 honda civic hybrid from 80,000 to 120,000 miles for the manufacturer's warranty. Because, of the consumer's/ automobile owner's complaints about leaking gasoline tank. It IS the faulty of engineering design. But, we cannot just let this past by. It's very risky of the life of many people with the same issue or problem. Some 2006 honda civic hybrid owners might not even noticed the leaking problem that can put their own family in great danger.. Please, do something to avoid many life of other people in great danger and causing life to death. I don't want to spend money in this factory inefficient design and defective parts of the car. This supposed to be an urgent recall for american honda. Please help. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *Tr

Honda had a class action settlement for replacement of upper control arm kit extended warranty due to rear wheel excessive tire wear, however I was not informed of issue and therefore have missed the deadline for warranty. After contacting american honda, placing a claim for goodwill assistance and after reviewing they provided they could not do anything for me and that I could re-submit claim only after I had honda dealer perform diagnostics which they charge $75 fee with no guarantee that they would recover this cost or provide any assistance for repair of issue. I know this IS the issue as I have all original honda oem parts, have noticed excessive inner tire wear on the right rear tire and had pep boys perform inspection alerting me to the honda replacement kit. In my research I have also found statement that this condition can cause issues with steering and safety. With honda repair prices much higher than other independent repair shops, there IS no reason to pay honda diagnostics charge simply to confirm what already established knowledge IS. End result IS that honda has corrected a flawed design yet IS not willing to make right with providing repair for newly designed replacement kit, which makes me a very un-satisfied customer of their products.

It IS also a safety issue in that the failure of the wipers to park properly blocks the driver's line of sight. *tr

- 10124255Dealer message - Today, September 23, 2014, American Honda is announcing a warranty extension for all 2006-07 Civic Hybrid, 2006-09 Civic Si 2-door, 2007-09 Civic Si 4-door, and 2007-08 Fit. An issue with the electronic power steering is being addressed by this warranty extension. Resin contamination of a failsafe relay may cause increased resistance. Increased resistance can cause the EPS control unit to detect an open circuit in the harness, setting DTCs 39-02 and/or 61-04 and shutting power steering assist off. To increase customer confidence, American Honda is extending the warranty on the electric power steering control unit to 10 years from the original date of purchase, or 150,000 miles.

- 10099946"Service news article - IS the mil on with dtc p0606 (ecm/pcm processor malfunction)? Check for aftermarket spark plugs that include a built-in capacitor; they can cause electrical interference that can set this dtc. If the engine has that type of spark plugs, swap them with a set of the recommended spark plugs. Then, clear the dtc and retest. If the dtc doesnt come back, youve found the problem. Let the service advisor know so he or she can contact your customer for direction. But if it does come back . . . Then continue with normal system troubleshooting."
