My honda civic ex 2 door looses power then sputters in over driver

Should you happen to lose battery power, honda's "immobilizer" anti-theft system will lose its memory and unable to recognize the owner's keys. honda's solution is to have the car towed into the local dealer where the unit and keys need to be re-coded. this has happened to me twice in a year's time. not only is this costly, incredibly inconvenient, but a safety hazard should it happen on a road trip. honda refuses to do any accommodation or fix of this problem.

While driving my battery light came on the dashboard. i took it to the nearest autozone to get the battery checked. they checked the battery and the manager of autozone told me it was not the battery but the alternator not giving the car enough power. he told me not to drive it to long or i could get stranded. i was near a relatives house, while driving to my relatives house my a/c and radio which were on at the time turned off, and several lights of the dashboard came on. i was panicked but made it safely to my relatives house. a mechanic came to my relatives house, and discovered that there was a short-circuit, the wires were burnt and caused the alternator to crack. the mechanic said to me in shock that my vehicle could have exploded. the wires which are 'the engine wiring harness' had caught fire at the tip which connects to the alternator. the car could have caught fire.

Another starter motor problem. car won't start. not the battery. there are hundreds of complaints with this generation of honda civics having cars not able to start up that's not a battery problem. *tr

6/2013 car accident i hit a parked car traveling at approximately 20-25 miles per hour. the airbags did not deploy. the company chosen to do the work (custom innovations in eugene, oregon) did not repair the motor mounts. which im very upset about and trying to deal with. after having the work done the car was taken to honda (kendall honda also in eugene, oregon) to have an assessment of my car diagnosed. the was the motor mount issue and other items oil change, transmission flush and the srs light was on. honda service dept. could not diagnose the srs and said they would get back to me. they never did. approx 1mo. diagnosis at honda, i was sitting in a park parking lot charging my phone in the car with it in the accessory position. i had been there about 10 minutes when all of a sudden the drivers side airbag in the seat and the rear drivers side curtain air bag deployed. scared the crap out of me and my dog. i suffered minor cuts, abrasions and severe bruising to my left elbow and tricep. i immediately went to honda. it was a sunday so only the ...

The civic would start for a few seconds and then shut down. the anti-theft immobilizer indicator light came. all three oem keys did not work. this resulted in the need for a long distance tow to the honda dealership, as well as $209 in repairs. i was told by the service department that the immobilizer module was bad and had to be replaced, along with suggesting a new battery. keys failing to work??? come on honda! of all things to go wrong with a car, this just shouldn't happen. on top of that you stick your customer's with a costly tow in the middle of the winter. what would have happened if i had been stuck in the middle of nowhere, stranded, simply due to my keys failing to work? it would appear your vaunted quality control is slipping the last few years. i noticed there was a "service bulletin" listed for this item, but no compensation forthcoming from honda. *tr
