2017 HONDA CIVIC Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the Electronic Power Steering, Evaporative Emission Control System, Check Engine, and Antilock Braking System lights were illuminated; however, the contact had not experienced any failures or malfunctions while operating the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,192.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback and the dangerous issue related to its air conditioning (A/C) system — a problem affecting many Civic owners nationwide. I initially brought my vehicle to Honda City Chicago for a Honda “campaign” repair (a term they use instead of calling it a recall) in 2023 and again this year, related to the A/C system. I was told the issue would be resolved. However, after agreeing to an optional transmission oil change they recommended, I was later told the A/C still wasn’t fixed — and that I now needed to pay $400 for a diagnostic. That diagnostic revealed the actual problem: a locked A/C compressor. (Which they knew they just wanted the money) This defect is not just an inconvenience — it’s a serious safety hazard. When the A/C is turned on, the locked compressor causes the engine to shake violently and stall completely. This happened to me at a red light; the car shut off, became unresponsive, and I was stuck blocking traffic. If this had occurred while driving at higher speeds, the consequences could have been catastrophic. Many Civic owners have reported similar compressor failures leading to engine stalls and unsafe driving conditions. Honda is aware of this issue but continues to treat it as isolated rather than a systemic defect. I urge the NHTSA to open a formal investigation into this widespread and dangerous issue involving locked A/C compressors in 2016–2020 Honda Civics. A safety recall is warranted before more drivers are put at risk or harmed due to this known defect.

Had to get the fuel injectors replaced after faulty emissions notifications. Now the car stalls from start at a stop light or stop sign. The car also stalled in stop and go traffic on the highway. We have not been driving it over the winter. It's dangerous!

We are experiencing a technical issue with the vehicle, which appears to be caused by a software or component error, rather than user error. This situation has led to the car starting unexpectedly and presenting challenges that could compromise safety while driving. Unfortunately, there has yet to be a recall or resolution communicated by the authorities.

Cold start up issue where VTC Actuator is rattling and or grinding. This could potentially cause engine failure while starting or driving the vehicle. No check engine light or oil light. VTC Rattle/Grind occurred for 3-4 seconds and then stopped.

The chain stretched and camshaft tensioner had to be replaced. The tech said this could only happen with low or insufficient oil, but every oil change on this car was done on time. There was a previous settlement because this engine has a known defect where fuel gets into the oil. Honda refused to honor the extended warranty agreed to in the settlement because the error codes that came up were PO341 CMP Sensor A and CKP Sensor Incorrect Phase Detected) and we had to pay $2,348.30 for repair of parts (chain, camshaft tensioner) that should have lasted the life of the vehicle without replacement.

2017 Hatchbacks with the 1.5 liter engine 4 cylinder didn’t get an extended warranty yet all other Hondas with this engine did because of problems but not the hatchback when same parts and same problems I never want to buy a new Honda again . Had to get a coolant flush not soon after I bought it because car was over heating yet that’s all they did never looked by into why and then problem after problem . A night mare buying a new Honda . Seen many videos and read many threads of people with same year and sa b me complaints and I’ve contacted a lot of people and no place knows why the hatchbacks weren’t covered but other cars same engine same problem was. Had to rebuild engine and replace turbo at 103,00 miles after having to replace spark plugs every 7 thousand miles the whole time I owned it and adding coolant to it when dealership said it want a problem and did nothing about it and now at 130000 some miles car just keeps over heating and dealership just told me I need a new engine and wouldn’t tell me why and dealership never been helpful at all. Just look at my car and engine online and all the complaints. Then being told issue is fixed with an ECU update just don’t drive the car short distances with a lot of stop and goes only drive long distances and don’t drive in winter time . I lost it because how is that the problem being fixed . And all the carbon build up is insane. And the oil dilution problem still exists. All these defects and problems with a new car is insane . I figured a new car would be better but of course first new vehicle I buy is a Lemon and all these problems and Honda won’t do right by it . Car also going into what I call limo dick mode in middle of 4 lane high way is dangerous and doing that when car was under 20,000 miles and always has . Also parking brake still messes up even though it was recalled the problem still exists . Him screen occasionally freezes or goes blank or don’t work . Just non stop problems since bought new

My Honda recently has had 10 warning lights pop up went in for oil change they couldn’t tell me the issue came back for another diagnosis and they are saying the engine has oil dilution. This is a known issue for this engine. But why does it affect abs, traction control, wiper sensor, auto high beam detection. , all of the lane assist , cruise control, early warning crash detection? This can be dangerous when you can’t quickly get the car into a dealership. And if it’s know issue they need a recall or free fix.

Car fuel injectors will fail and cause misfiring. Dangerous to drive due to engine running rough. Unusual for fuel injectors to go out so soon especially when driven with care and using correct fuel octane.

One of the piston rods broke and went through the block. Oil had heavy odor of gasoline

check engine lights display periodically. The main one involves the fuel injectors. It has been an on going problem for 6-8 months. When I contacted the dealership I was told the part is not available Nationwide at this time and not sure when it will become available. While driving the car can go into "limp" mode where it doesn't let you go above 30 MPH. This problem first started approximately October 2022 after having the vehicle just over 7 months. When I contact the Dealership I was told there was nothing they could do but wait for the part to come in. Meanwhile I am paying for a vehicle that is not safe to drive , yet has no recalls on it. I was told by the Dealership that they have several vehicles at the auto auction that have the same issue that are not selling. I don't understand why Honda has not had a recall on this part. I am stuck with a vehicle ,my only means of transportation, still making payments, and it sits in the garage. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me.

These cars have horrendous AC issues. A spotlight needs to be on put on it. Broken AC can subject drivers to dangerously high temperatures in the cabin, even if the windows are rolled down in some climates. Honda, the maker of these vehicles, is still answerable for the supplier of the compressor/ac system, Keihin's, failures. There are many of us, but we haven't been able to connect the dots to see how many have truly been affected. I nearly suffered heatstroke driving this car. Was dizzy the night of at home, with outdoor temperatures reaching triple digits (Fahrenheit).

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The exhaust system, power steering, brake assist, power brake, hill assist, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbo charger and engine needed to be replaced. The dealer requested the oil change records. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

My car has a significant engine oil dilution problem. Gasoline is starting to mix with the oil and it could potentially cause problems or complete engine failure. I am having issues with performance in cold weather due to this problem.

I have oil dilution in my 2015 Honda Civic EX-T VIN [XXX]. Dealer performed the fixes. The Next time I had the oil sample checked it was worse. The oil smells like a weedeater. I am at 13.72% fuel in the oil. Very Rich. I live in Alabama where it is hot. I only drive long distances to and from work on the interstate. I need help. Honda is doing nothing. They are not telling the dealer anything or sharing any specs as acceptable percentage fuel in the oil. It is a coverup. TSBs have been done and engine checked and injectors are good. Please advise. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

10.55% fuel was found in the oil according to a sample that was taken. Took to dealer and called honda. Dealer was told to perform Bulletin 18-137 I think. Dealer said was done and changed the oil also. Took a sample at 30% oil life after the fix and now there is 13.72% fuel in the oil. Took back to dealer they called Honda Engineers and was told it was normal and that was on the Low side 13.72%. Was not able to do anything. This is a coverup. You can smell fuel in the oil and oil is high on the dipstick when you check it and you can smell when driving.

My vehicle has oil dilution issue. The engine releases toxic gas from the engine compartment to interior of the car though the air duct. This gives me major headache and forces me to drive with my widow open as to not worsen my asthma issues. After checking the oil dipstick I can smell the gas aroma coming from the oil. This is a serious environmental issue and an even greater health concern of mine. I pray my health does not deteriorate to where I develop cancer from the toxins.

Coils and spark plugs getting rust/wet by water intrusion causing emisions problems the car is unable to drive.

AIR CONDITIONER FAILS TO COOL AND INSTEAD BLOWS HOT AIR. HONDA AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAS CONFIRMED THAT A DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR HAS CAUSED FREEON LEAKAGE FROM THE COMPRESSOR'S MAIN SHAFT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

AT COLD START, THE IDLING ENGINE SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL, DASHBOARD, AND MUCH OF THE CABIN. IT FEELS LIKE A POORLY SEATED MOTOR MOUNT. I'VE DRIVEN CIVICS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE NEVER FELT A SHAKE LIKE THIS ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT OVERNIGHT IN HOPES OF REPLICATING THE COLD START. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BUT I'M BEGINNING TO WORRY.

MY SON AND I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2017 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN ON DEC 3RD FROM HONDA OF LISLE IL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 22,100 MILES. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON DEC 10TH AND STOPPED FOR GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND STARTED IT UP. HE NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE IMMEDIATELY CAM HOME AND CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER. AS HE WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER HE GOT ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE CAR FROZE UP AND IMMEDIATELY BURST INTO FLAMES. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AS HE WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A LAW THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE IT BACK WITHIN 15 DAYS OR LESS THAN 500 MILES, THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND I NEEDED TO GET MY INSURANCE INVOLVED. A FIRE INSPECTOR HIRED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY LOOKED AT THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND SUSPECTED THE FIRE STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE ENGINEER INSPECT IT AT A COST OF $5,000 THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT PURSUE FURTHER. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED TO A CERTIFIED CAR WITH 22K MILES. FULL VIDEO HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/TTSVY7ZGMW8

SOMETIMES, WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT CRANK AND START. THE ELECTRIC POWER WILL COME ON (DASH BOARD ICONS, HEADLIGHTS, ETC.), BUT IT WILL NOT CRANK. IT TAKES FROM 2 TO 7 TURNS OF THE KEY, BEFORE IT CRANKS AND STARTS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SOMETIMES ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES 2 OR 3 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, ON THE DAY I TOOK IT IN, OF COURSE, IT WAS WORKING FINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEIR COMPUTER COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS IT, UNLESS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, OR THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE DEALER YET. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES ON IT.

ON MY HONDA CIVIC I HAVE THE OIL DILUTION PROBLEM WHICH WAS VERIFIED BY A MECHANIC. WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGE THEY SAID GASOLINE CAME OUT WITH THE OIL. TWO DAYS BEFORE I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGE THE FUEL IN THE OIL CAUSED MY ENGINE TO STALL AND ME AND MY FRIEND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY MANY CARS FLYING UP ON US. WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET JUST BARELY INCHES OFF THE FREEWAY BUT EVERY CAR CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING OUR CAR AND ALMOST KILLING US. AFTER A WHILE THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED BACK UP AND WE CONTINUED DOWN THE FREEWAY ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR STALL AGAIN AND WE NEARLY GETTING HIT AGAIN BY ANOTHER CAR. I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR NOW AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL MINE AND OTHERS CARS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THIS COULD CAUSE FATALITIES. I HAVE THE 1.5 L TURBO ENGINE BY THE WAY AND I'VE HEARD COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHERS WITH THIS MOTOR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW THE FUEL MIXING WITH THE OIL CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. ALL I KNOW IS CONSUMER REPORTS HAS OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONING THEIR ENGINE STALLING. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE SOMETHING THE ENGINE DETECTS IN THE OIL AND SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN AS A WAY OF PROTECTING IT FROM POSSIBLE LOW OIL PRESSURE BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. BY THE WAY I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED. RECENTLY OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING THAT MUCH AND THEREFORE THE OIL WAS DILUTING WITH THE FUEL MORE THAN NORMAL SO THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. AND ALSO I LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. HONDA THINKS THAT IT'S ONLY HAPPENING IN COLDER COLDER CLIMATES WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. YOU CAN LITERALLY SMELL GASOLINE ON THE DIPSTICK AND THE DIPSTICK WAS 1/2 QT. OVER. STILL HAD 50% OIL LIFE.

MY CAR RANDOMLY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY FORCING ME TO TURN ON HAZARDS AND MAKE MY WAY FROM THE EXPRESS LANE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP GOING 20 MPH WHILE TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH RAPIDLY CAUSING FURTHER ANXIETY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY TO SAFETY AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY CAR DELIVERED TO THE NEAREST HONDA (WALNUT CREEK CA) HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AVAILABILITY FOR A FEW DAYS. THE CAR ALSO HAD LOTS OF SMOKE COMING OUT THE EXHAUST AND READ CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON AND OFF. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST ME TO REPAIR. ON TOP OF ALL THE WORK I'LL LOOSE BEING MY WORK RELIES ON MY CAR 100%. I'VE OWNED NOTHING BUT HONDAS HOWEVER THIS TIME I FEEL I MADE A BAD PURCHASE BUYING A NEW 2017 CIVIC. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE, ONLY GOES TO DEALERSHIP, PUMPED NOTHING BUT PREMIUM GASOLINE. I AM SAD, UPSET, ANGRY, ANXIOUS AND VERY MUCH STILL IN DISBELIEF THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR AT ONLY 80,000 MILES . WHAT CAN I DO? IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SAME ISSUE? I GOT A CODE P0299 TURBO UNDERBOOST

ON JUNE 13TH, LESS THEN A MONTH AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED/SERVICED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 21ST, MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR BUSTS UP IN FLAMES. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD ON A CLEAR DAY GOING ABOUT 65, A SPARK FLEW FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY WE PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO WATCH THE CAR GO UP IN FLAMES AND EXPLODE. I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DEALERSHIPS, INCLUDING THEIR SERVICE TEAM, HONDA FINANCIAL, HONDA GENERAL, AND THE HONDA PLANT IN INDIANA. EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS SHOWN NO COMPASSION OR INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO DIE TO TAKE THIS SERIOUS? AND MY INSURANCE IS TAKING THEIR TIME SINCE IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.

I DO OIL CHANGE BY MYSELF. HERE I AM REPORTING FUEL DILUTION OF ENGINE OIL ISSUE ON MY CAR. THE SECOND LAST TIME OF MY CAR'S OIL CHANGE WAS ON MARCH 16 2019. I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL STRICTLY TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AS WELL AS THE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT. I ADDED 3.7 QT OF NEW MOTOR OIL (MOBIL 1 ADVANCED FUEL ECONOMY FULL SYNTHETIC 0W20), WHICH IS THE VOLUME SPECIFIED ON THE MANUAL BOOK. LAST WEEKEND ON JULY 7 2019 I DID OIL CHANGE AGAIN, STILL FOLLOWING THE MANUAL BOOK STRICTLY. WHAT MADE ME CONCERNED WAS THAT THE VOLUME OF THAT USED MOTOR OIL WAS CLEARLY GREATER THAN WHAT I ADDED ON MARCH 16. THE MOTOR OIL I PURCHASED CAME WITH SEALED BOTTLES, EACH CONTAINING 1 QT VOLUME. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE USED OIL FULFILLED 4 BOTTLES, WHICH WAS 10% MORE THAN WHAT I ADDED 3 MONTHS BEFORE. THIS WAS THE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WENT INTO THE MOTOR OIL, WHICH I BELIEVED WAS GASOLINE, BECAUSE THE USED OIL HAD A GASOLINE SMELL. DURING THIS PERIOD, I ONLY CHOSE TOP TIER GASOLINE BRANDS AND ADDED REGULAR #87 WHICH WAS SUGGESTED BY HONDA, THEREFORE THE QUALITY OF GASOLINE I ADDED WAS NO PROBLEM; I DIDN'T SEE LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT, BRAKE FLUID, TRANSMISSION FLUID DURING THIS TIME.
