| While my wife was waiting in line at a fast food drive thru lane, steam was noticed coming from under the hood. the vehicle was immediately parked. a quick inspection showed the engine compartment to be extremely clean. a small amount of moisture was noticed on the inside of the hood and next to the ac compressor. the vehicle was towed to the agency and left overnight. when i called the next morning, i was informed that the compressor was failing and that they recommended to have the compressor replaced for $995. after stating that the vehicle was less then two years old and inquiring if there was a recall or other civics with similar problems, i was told that a 2006 model was brought in with a similar problem and that there was no recall. i called some local parts stores and was told that the compressor was not stocked and would have to be special ordered because the model year was still new. the final repair was replacement of the ac compressor and ac relay for a discounted price of $824.60 ouch! *tr | |||

| Car stalls and also sputters, feels like it is going to stall. this will occur when vehicle is slowing down (ex: traffic) and the rpms will drop causing the vehicle to stall or almost stall. if vehicle doesn't stall rpms will shoot back up. in addition, shifter will get stuck when going from reverse into drive, drive into mark, and vise versa. | |||

| My new honda civic (2010) has had two episodes of random, unpredictable engine revving, the engine revs as if i were going 60 miles an hour and then suddenly somehow went into first gear. the first time it happened the car did accelerate and i hit a snow bank as i was pulling into my driveway. the second time it happened i was going around 35 miles per hour, the engine revved, but the car didn't accelerate. i am taking the car to the dealer tomorrow. it is very scary. *tr | |||
