| I am a fuel efficient driver, drive with the econ button on mos of the time. i drive 150 miles 5 times a week. every time i am going downhill and i push the brakes to slow down, the rpm's go up. i also tried driving without the econ to see if it would change and the same thing happened. you would think by hitting the brakes a little harder would do the trick to decrease speed, but it doesn't. as you start holding the breaks for a long time, then the rps would decrease. i have looked online and many people are saying the same thing. example: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/210-engine/350659-2012-honda-civic-ex-engine-braking-econ-button.html | |||

| There is no accident, here is problem: i have 6840 miles on a 2012 honda civic lx 4dr. when fuel tank filled to all the way, the fuel was slapping about front to back while hit brake or parking. it makes a loud noise and fuel slam into the wall of fuel tank. i went to honda local dealer and they tell me this is normal, you are not first one to complaint, but there is no service bulletin to it. this is unsafe, 10 gal gas flow in tank will throw off the balance while you make turns, or cause damage sensors in the tank, or cause fuel system leak even fire. *tr | |||

| You can hear the fuel moving around the gas tank and banging against the gas tank walls whenever i stop. it is most severe when the tank is full. i complained to the honda dealer where i purchased the vehicle about the noise. the dealer let me know that the noise i was hearing was the fuel moving around in the fuel tank, due to a design change in the 2012 model which removed the fuel tank baffles. the dealer will not fix this issue on my car. i called and wrote to honda directly complaining about this issue and requesting resolution and they have not responded. *tr | |||
