My 2018 honda civic is less than a year old and has around 5,000 miles. i drove 25 minutes to pick up my daughter. i parked on a city street. immediately, as i shifted the car into park, people on the street started screaming at me to get out of the car because it was on fire. the underneath of the car was on fire. as i waited for the police and fire department, the fire spread to the entire front end of the car and engulfed it. the car was totaled. they told me that the fire was caused by something mechanical. there is a police report but i have not been able to obtain a copy yet. i didn't have any issues/problems with the car leading up to the fire.
Emissions system problem, car is acting weird and giving a kick back when driving
This past summer (summer of 2019) my wife's 2018 honda civic's air conditioning system began to lose its ability to cool air gradually, until in the middle of the hottest month of the year, it stopped completely. because it is a lease, i then took the vehicle to our home honda service center .they refused to cover costs allegedly because the malfunction had been caused by road debris on the condenser. fast forward to november, i receive a letter in the mail stating that there is a recall on 2018 civic condensers. it was clear to me then, that the malfunction was due to a manufacturing defect, and not due to my wife going off-roading (which she doesn't do lol). i became hopeful that honda would reimburse me (over $800). after going back and forth for two months, i just received a call in which they advised me that due to the nature of the malfunction (having been caused by "road debris" supposedly), honda would not reimburse me. i have clearly been taken advantage of.
2018 honda civic parked on an incline. after exiting the vehicle and going inside home, spontaneously rolled down hill and crashed into a tree. the vehicle was in park and did not roll immediately. this happen sometime after entering the residence. in researching online i have found this has occured with several other owners and has been reported to the honda corporation since 2016. 2016-2018 honda civics seem to be the vehicle models/years affected.

At 2025 miles my 2018 civicthat i had for 2ish months started smelling like fuel in the cab. so i looked it up and the earth dreams motor is having oil dilution problems and it is becoming more common. so i checked my oil and found my car a quart overfull with fuel in my oil. i then had it towed to the dealership where they gave it a free oil change and said that there is no fix andit is normal. the oil viscosity will deteriorate eventual leaving me witha knock or disabled on the side of the road. it is an issue that can cause a crash or sickness when the noxious gas smell comes back. i have now put 450 miles on it since the oil change and am smelling fuel in my oil again.
I purchased a honda civic hatchback from willett honda south in morrow, ga on 8/29/2018. the tire pressure monitoring system warning light came on while i was driving the car from the dealership to the my home. that distance between the dealership and my home is less than 20 miles. i took the car into the shop on 8/30/2018, and i spent approximately 2 hours in the at the willett honda waiting for the repair. the same warning light came on when i was on the way home after the car was repaired. willett honda sent a loaner car to my newly purchased vehichle for one day, 8/31/2018. i did not drive the car again until 9/5/2018. after driving the car approximately 15 miles the tpms warning light came on again. i called the dealership and they sent another car. i have had the car for 1 week. it has been in the shop 3 times. there is a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system. rotating the tires and adjusting the air in the tires is not the problem. i sat next to a lady with her car in the shop and she is having the same problem. according the honda, the warning light should not be ignored, but i have only been able to drive a brand new vehichle back and forth to the shop. the car was not discounted to me for having a faulty system installed into the car by honda.
Within only a couple months of buying a new honda civic hatchback 2 of the continental procontact tires started developing bubbles in the side wall. the be vehicle was bought with two miles on in and no major bumps or pot holes have been hit. replacing all tires since it is only a matter of time before the other two get the bubbles as well and don't want an accident if one blows. not happy considering the car now has less than 8000 miles and less than a year old and already having to replace.
My rear tire went flat. the tire is cracked and air is escaping.new car bought only two months tires should not be cracking.
