Only issues with my 2007 sedan has been a faulty interior light and the soft wiper blades replaced by Bosch inserts
sorry for reviving an old tread,but i'm looking to buy a used civic for a family member and came across this US bulletin.
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/n...vics/index.htm
"Free engine replacement for 2006-2009 Honda Civics
Warranty extended to 10 years for cars with engine block cracks and leaking coolant"
Doesn't the US and AUS model have the same drivetrain?
I have a 2009 (Built Dec 09) Civic.
When I try to downshift to second gear (say approaching a roundabout/corner) the gear lever doesn't want to go into gear. Its kind of half way in- half way out. I take it back out and into neutral and then try and put it back in again, sometimes it will go in and sometimes it won't. It doesn't happen with any other gear. Anyone have any clue as to whats wrong?
2014 FB civic. Reversed it from garage...wash it....drove it into the garage. Hrs later, cranks no start! Hrs later same thing again, figured possible flooding (due to quite a few start attempts), tried WOT start no joy. Called Honda, sent them video they said try it in morning, if still no start they would come pickup car. In morning no start. Car picked up taken to Honda...no start, they figured flooded. There were no codes 9so they say)...all of a sudden...it starts! Told it must have been flooded due to short trip and rich settings of computer.
Yeah right....! So, watch for this! There's a bug in the software!
It can be fixed with harder engine mounts, but the increased vibrations from doing so aren't worth doing considering how often it happens. Additionally, changing the shifter bushings etc hasn't been able to prevent it from happening.Quote:

More software bugs...car radio/reverse camera is occasionally stuck with reverse camera image when driving....makes you feel sick driving when this happens. Have to turn off car and re-start. The front seats are dreadful our FD2 civic seats were way better (and it was a better car in all areas) ...Honda has gone to the dogs.Quote:

Another problem- the Civic starts jerking violently when I let out the gas in first gear at low speeds. It isnt close to stalling as I am moving too fast- around 12-15kph. It does happen subtly when in 2nd gear too. Am I just backing off the gas too suddenly? Or is this a common issue with all manual cars?
Clutch sounds fukt n8
Does it jerk a bit when you initially press the gas? Possible bad tps, or out of calibration, can make driving a bit erratic. Maybe all of your engine mounts fuked and the motor is jerking around getting on and off the gas, does it make a clunk?Quote:

My second thoughtQuote:

You could change the transmission mount, but you'd probably know it that had gone bust.
This happens to my del sol too so I don't think it's something limited to your model of civic.Quote:
