#8018136September 6, 2002
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE MAKING A TURN ON HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUTDOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER MAKING TURNS AND PUSHING IN CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER THE OPERATION OF THE POWER BRAKES AND THE POWER STEERING IS TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO STALL COMPLETELY AND THEN POPPING THE CLUTCH OR CRANKING WITH THE KEY. IF THE CLUTCH IS ALLOWED OUT WHEN A STALL STARTS, THEN THE VEHICLE WILL LURCH AND SHUTTER UNTIL IT RECOVERS WELL AFTER A CORNER. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THE 1.7 L 5 SPEED CIVIC LINE. AMERICAN HONDA IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM AND THINK IT IS IN THE PROGRAMMING OF FUEL INJECTION. *SCC

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
VEHICLE WAS IDLING ROUGHLY AND EXPERIENCING VIBRATION. THE BELTS WERE ADJUSTED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE MADE A HORRIFIC SOUND. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCE SCREW HAD COME OUT AND DAMAGED THE BALANCER WITH POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CRANKSHAFT. THE BALANCER WAS REPLACED. CONSUMER, STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEFECT, BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHARGED FOR CLEANING THE FUEL INJECTORS, HAVING A VALVE ADJUSTMENT AND FOR REPLACEMENT OF SPARK PLUGS. A MONTH LATER THE PROBLEM REOCCURED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. CONSUMER STATES WITH THE NEW ENGINE, THE VEHICLE DRIVES BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS. *JG
