2014 Honda Civic fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Out of nowhere today started my car to go to work and it’s leaking fuel from the fuel pump area, only when it is running, pouring out fuel, I seen that some 2014 Honda Civic’s have a recall for fuel pump manufactured between January 2014 through November 2014 and mine was manufactured in February 2014 and I have this fuel pump leak issue, no recalls come up when I enter my VIN, but this has to be one of them, would only make sense.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I HAVE A LEASED 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX, MY LEASE BEGAN 11/2014. IN 9/2016 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ON A SIDE ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT 45MPH WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL, I COULD FLOOR IT WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, AND NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (POWER STEERING, VSA, HILL START ASSIST, TPMS, EMISSION, TRANSMISSION, ETC). I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY AND WAIT FOR A TOW. UPON ARRIVAL AT HONDA, THE CAR WAS 'BACK TO NORMAL' AND THE TECHS COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO THEY CALLED IT A FLUKE AND RETURNED IT TO ME. 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS JUST LEAVING MY HOUSE, ABOUT 5 MPH OUT OF MY SPOT AND UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SAME HONDA AND WAITED. I WAS TOLD A WEEK LATER THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO KEEP LOOKING. NOT HAPPENING AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY OPENED A CLAIM WITH HONDA. THEY LOOKED FOR A WEEK MORE WITH NO LUCK AND WERE ABOUT TO RETURN MY DANGEROUS AND UNDIAGNOSED CAR TO ME WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THEM; I AM UNAWARE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY KEPT IT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS WHEN THEY GUESSED IT WAS A FAULTY COMPUTER AND PUT A NEW ONE IN IT. FAST FORWARD TO 2/2017 AND IT HAS HAPPENED YET AGAIN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 7 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN, AND ABOUT TO TURN ONTO A 50 MPH, 5 LANE ROAD WHERE I FOR SURE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURRED THERE. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO HONDA AND I HAVE ZERO INTENTIONS TO TAKE THIS DEATH TRAP BACK, AND I HAVE EVEN LESS FAITH THAT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WILL BE FOUND YET AGAIN. THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE LIGHTS ON THIS MOST RECENT TIME, TAKEN WHILE IN PARK. YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS ON, D LIT UP WHILE IN PARK, AND THE NEEDLE AT 1 EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MOVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

PURCHASED NEW 09/2014 POHANKA HONDA OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA. WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR STOP, THIS CAR WILL OFTEN HESITATE, OR STALL, SOMETIMES WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL MOMENTARILY , WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER IT SURGES FORWARD SUDDENLY. ITHE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT I MUST GET ACCUSTOMED TO THIS NEW TYPE CRV TRANSMISSION. NEXT THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE GASOLINE. THEN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO FAULT WITH THIS CAR AND TO CONTINUE TO REPORT ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE PROBLEM AND NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT IT. WHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I AM VERY LEERY ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE ESPECIALLY THE SURGING. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR THIRTEEN MONTHS AND MY WIFE HAS ONLY DRIVEN IT TWO TIMES. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ASKED ME MANY TIMES WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY AFRAID THIS CAR WILL GET OUT OF CONTROL AND HURT SOMEONE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

MY CAR IS 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX-L NAVI WITH PUSHBUTTON ENGINE START/STOP. I WAS APPROACHING AN INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ACTIVATE THE 4-WAY FLASHERS AS A WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON, I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON BY MISTAKE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS JUST BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE FLASHER BUTTON IS ABOUT SIX INCHES TO THE LOWER RIGHT OF THE START/STOP BUTTON. OF COURSE WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT. THANKFULLY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND I CONTINUED TO COAST SLIGHTLY LEFT. I ORDER TO RESTART THE ENGINE, I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS A DIFFICULT SEQUENCE TO PERFORM WHEN ONE'S VEHICLE IS DEAD AND COASTING WITH MINIMAL CONTROL. BY THE TIME I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND REGAINED CONTROL I WAS APPROACHING THE JERSEY BARRIERS IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BEING PASSED BY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE START/STOP BUTTON IS REAL EASY TO OPERATE. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FULLY DEPRESSED, JUST A SLIGHT TOUCH WILL ACTIVATE IT. MORE FORCE IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE FLASHER BUTTON THAN THE START/STOP BUTTON. PLUS, THE START/STOP BUTTON PROTRUDES FROM THE SURFACE OF THE DASH AND CAN BE EASILY PRESSED BY ACCIDENT. THE START/STOP SHOULD BE RECESSED INSIDE A SHROUD AND ACTIVATION SHOULD REQUIRE A FULL DEPRESSION AND BE HELD FOR AT LEAST TWO SECONDS. AND IDEALLY THE FLASHER BUTTON SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO THE TOP CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD. THE EVENT DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH ON SOUTH LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, WENT TO ACCELERATE AROUND A CAR AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO KICK IT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE PEDAL WOULDN'T COME OFF THE FLOOR EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO PRY IT OFF WITH MY FOOT.. THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV UNCONTROLLABLE UNTIL I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AS I TRAVELED DOWN THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THERE, AT A STOP, I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND THE CAR REVVED UP. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV UP WITH THE PEDAL NOT RETURNING BACK TOWARDS ME-STUCK TO THE FLOOR BOARD AGAIN. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AGAIN TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND STOP THE REVVING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

HAD TO APPLY BRAKE WITH LEFT FOOT AND THEN APPLY GAS PEDDLE WITH RIGHT FOOT FOR IMMEDIATE ACCELERATION TO AVOID ACCIDENT. UPON APPLYING BRAKE AND THEN THE GAS CAR BOGGED AS IF TO STALL ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE INITIAL INCIDENT. I TOOK CAR TO FOX HONDA, MICHIGAN (DEALER WHERE CAR WAS LEASED FROM) AND THEY INDICATED THAT I SHOULDN'T BREAK WITH LEFT AND THEN GIVE IT GAS WITH RIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ONE SCENARIO WHERE THIS WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE AND IN EACH CASE IT BOGGED TO POINT OF STALL BEFORE ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.
