NHTSA Complaint #754668 — 2001 HONDA CIVIC

I HAVE THIS RECCURRING PROBLEM OF MY CAR STALLING WHEN IN DRIVE GEAR WHEN THE CAR IS AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES NOW, THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS RELATED TO THE IMPROPER FUEL GAUGE READING I WAS HAVING, WHICH THE DEALER FIXED BY REPLACING THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE ODOMETER. MY CAR HAS STALLED AROUND 6 TO 7 TIMES NOW WHEN IT IS SLOW OR AT A STOP. I HAVE TO THEN PUT THE CAR TO PARK AND START THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CLUE, AND EVERYTIME THEY TRY SOMETHING AND SAY ITS FIXED, WHEREAS THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. ONCE THE CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR BEHIND ALMOST RAN IN TO ME ALMOST CAUSING A FATAL ACCIDENT. EVER SINCE I AM REALLY CONCERNED WITH MY AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. THE REASON I PAID SO MUCH MONEY TO PURCHASE A HONDA VEHICLE WAS THAT HONDA IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE SAFEST CARS, BUT MY EXPERIENCE STATES OTHERWISE. I AM REALLY ANNOYED & FRUSTRATED BY THE CAR. I HAVE PAID TOO MUCH AND HAVE HAD NO SATISFACTION UNTIL NOW. ON READING THE COMPLAINTS WITH HONDA 2001 CIVICS I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS A COMMON ONE WITH THE NEW 2001 CIVIC EX MODELS. *AK
