#47 of 55 2009 Honda Civic—Won't Turn Over? by montiep Aug 27, 2009 (5:44 am)
I don't know anything about cars, so I might sound stupid here. I got a 2009 Honda Civic LX in May and I've put around 5k miles on it so far. For about two months it's been having a very intermittent issue. It's only happened maybe once every three or four weeks, but I'll go to start it and it will take 5+ seconds to turn over. I always turn it to on first before starting, and this may be inconsequential but when it happened yesterday i pushed the key in while it was cranked (like when you push it in to turn it off) and that's when it turned over.   I know once or twice I forgot I hadn't started it yet and put it into drive with it off...hopefully making that mistake two times wouldn't hurt anything?   Any idea why a brand new car would already be having issues starting in the middle of summer? Could it be a certain type of gas (I don't always go to the same station). I haven't taken it to the dealer because I was waiting for my first oil change/service appt.   Thanks
#49 of 55 driver window goes off track by yankee28 Sep 29, 2009 (4:37 pm)
This is a weird issue that I can't see a thread for. Once in a while when I try to put up the drivers window on my 2009 HCH, the forward portion of the window seems to drag and the rear portion keeps rising and pushes the window outward from the track. I have to put the window up and down several times before it stops and once I had to get out of the car and pull the front of the window up (just missing my fingers!). Has anyone else experienced this issue? Replies to this message: bananies (Nov 07, 2009 10:25 pm) bearcrkrd (Nov 12, 2009 8:39 pm)

Replying to: yankee28 (Sep 29, 2009 4:37 pm) I have the exact same problem. I push the auto window button up and it stops 2 inches from the top and goes back down again. Just a couple of hours ago I parked my car and I was messing with the window for 10 mins before it went up right. I had to pull the window up too. i was reading that previous civic have the same problem too. its the regulator that causes the window to go off track.

Ok so as this is my first car, please understand why I am slightly OCD about it.   Does anyone else have a wobble in the car at high speeds? I bought my Civic in July, it has 2200 miles on it, and I've been pretty easy on it. Sometimes when it gets up to 70-75 mph, it wobbles, almost like there's gusts of wind outside. I'm baffled by this! it's brand new!   also, when accelerating, does anyone else sometimes feel a clunk in first gear? Not every acceleration but randomly?   What is wrong with my brand new car?! I bought it with 9 miles on it!! Replies to this message: samnoe (Nov 13, 2009 7:07 am)

Replying to: bananies (Nov 07, 2009 10:25 pm) I had a problem with the drivers window. It happened when I lowered it and then raised it back up right away. Like at work, swiping my badge at the gate. It would go up almost all the way, then lower itself (electrically, not fall down) about half way down and stay there. Then I would raise it, and it would come down again, sometimes not. I took it to the dealer maybe 6 - 8 months ago. Can't remember exactly. Didn't keep the receipt, as it's where I get all my services done and it's on the system. They replaced the motor that moves the window up and down, and a (the ?) track, I think.. Under warranty. Once I pulled up on the window and thought that was the secret, but no such luck trying it after that. I'm over 41,000 miles now, so slim pickins on warranty work unless something big under the hood goes out! The window doesn't come back down on it's own anymore , or it was half way to be more accurate. It has started to make a slight squeek or squawk on the way dow, but not all the time. A bit worrisome, I just hope it keeps working as I don't want to spent any money for something that is exactly the reason I bought this car instead of a European car. I am happy with the Civic, as the 41,000 miles show!

Replying to: diamondsnrust (Nov 11, 2009 11:03 pm) Yeah, interesting, I also felt the "clunk / jerk" in transmission lately. Not eveyrtime, but once in a while. It seems like something is getting stuck, and it feels very un-natural (like you have no control of the car, it does by itself what it wants - very unsecure feeling). I am usually pressing the gas pedal (if possible) and it gets back to normal.   This is an issue which needs to be addressed by Honda. I believe that a software update should resolve this issue.
#55 of 55 2009 Civic Surges when coming to a stop by harly2003 Nov 16, 2009 (7:06 am)
I have a problem with my wife's 2009 Honda Civic LX. When coming to a stop at a light or a stop sign. The engine surges to 1500 RPM and I have to brake hard to stop from hitting any car in front of me. It does not happen at every stop and I am not sure what is causing this. As I have been a mechanic (Aircraft ) all my life and I have tried to troubleshoot this problem. I was told at Honda when I complained about this that it was the AC compressor coming on but the last time I did not have the AC on. Also thinking that it could be the cruise control but the last time I did not have the car in cruise. Am taking the car to Honda today and giving them a written complaint that I intend to also file with NHTSA. Car seems abnormally noisy and I am wondering about any problem with alignment. I will post any replies I get from Honda or NHTSA.
