Purchased new 2004 honda civic ex 2dr coupe - surges forward and jolts you at low speed (while slowing down). happens mostly when descending down hills. very extreme if under the load of the ac. the jolt is very distracting and scary. dealership claims it is normal and part of the grade logic.*ak
On my honda civic ex model with the manual drivetrain, the drivetrain will make a grinding noise, while shifting into 3rd gear at 4000 rpm's or higher. i brought my car back to the dealer and it was fixed, now 8,000 miles later, i'm having a reacurring problem. *ak
