My 2018 Civic EXT bought new: AC condenser failed at 117k miles (replaced under extended warranty/ for known issue). I noticed the wire covers torn but the exposed wires were undamaged. The most expensive maintenance I’ve had done was replacing the water pump, drive belt, and PCV valve at 120k miles for $1,030. Of course I maintain my Civic with oil/filter changes every 5k miles. I use only Shell Premium fuel for the high detergent to mitigate carbon deposits. I’ve never redlined and I rarely exceed 4k rpm. Other than the AC, I’ve had no issues after nearly five years and 141,900 miles averaging 36.5 mpg (combined). I plan keeping my Civic for at least 300k miles. With my aggressive monthly maintenance, I hope to avoid any major repairs to the engine, turbo, or CVT. BTW…I bought my Civic without any of the Honda Sensing. I know that the electronics are often the first things to fail. One less area for problems if I plan on keeping the Civic for at least ten years.

[@BCautosolutions]

Awesome stuff! Maintenance goes a loooooong way, keep it up and thanks for sharing.

[@99kiwis]

Have you replaced your ignition coils ? If so at what mileage ?

[@Matt-dc1xr]

Let the car live a little, rarely exceed 4k rpm .. grats gramps!

[@ryanfliegel]

​@@Matt-dc1xrYeah, it's actually better to rev out the engine to help with deposits as well. He should be flooring at least sometimes

[@FacelessCreate]

I seem to be having a problem where I can’t drive anywhere without my foot to the floor.. any suggestions?

[@markr.1984]

I have a 2017 EXT with a 6 speed manual. No problems at all. I not only run higher octane than the normal regular but I also run ethanol free too when I can. And to help the oil dilution issue, I shift at higher RPMs than I normally would and run a gear lower in cruise at whatever speed I am at. I even drive at highway speeds in 5th gear rather than 6th. It still gets superb MPG in 5th gear on interstates. And doing so keeps the combustion temps and cylinder head temps hotter overall. This helps to mitigate oil dilution as it burns more of the gas before it can seep down into the oil. Also in the winter I do not warm up my car at all. I start it and drive away after only 10 seconds. This allows the engine to warm up much faster since it's under load. To warm the engine at idle in 20F takes about 20 minutes, To warm up driving at 3000 RPM from the get go on the road, it warms it up in 4 or 5 minutes. Less time for the gas to leak down into the oil because the oil dilution is much worse when the engine is cold by far. You want a warm engine. Also, with todays thin oils, you really don't have to warm up an engine on a cold morning, the oil circulates right away. Only exception for me is when the temp is below 5 F. In that case I warm up for a minute.

[@anthonydmello3310]

Can you make a video on how to turn off drl when the engine is running at parked position

[@angulardev228]

Thanks for the information, I'm planning to buy 2018 Civic X with 1.5T and manual gearbox. Worried a little regarding that oil dilution issue, but I guess it's kinda manageable

[@calderon2249]

I have a 2018 hatchback sport and my AC went out one summer. Did some research and thought it might have been a recall issue like you mentioned. Turned out to be the evaporator and that wasn’t covered under the recall. Had to pay $2000 out of pocket for that one 😢 other than that, I always pump premium for the reason that I don’t want anything else going bad lol

[@BCautosolutions]

Yikes sorry to hear that! Hopefully that’s all you will need to replace out of normal maintenance. Definitely use premium and keep and eye on that coolant level. Thanks for watching.

[@sunnohh]

Thanks for subsidizing premium for people that actually need it, but it is a waste. High quality gas is fine 89

[@dehumm9619]

My ac hasn't worked since first year. It's a 2017. I called and they replaced condenser and o rings and now coolant free. Wonder if it'll die again, coverage until 2027 on the ac.

[@TariqMansour1990]

My friend 2019 civic had same issue plus his cvt was replaced on 4th year

2017 Elantra, bought new. 124.000 miles. 0 repairs 0 issues. Loaded with all the tech. Ac never touched, still blows nice and cold. Everything on the car works like new. Engine runs smooth and quiet. Uses no oil. Only things on the car that have been replaced are tires, and 1 battery. Excellent vehicle. Even the brake pads are original, and still don't need replacement!

Sorry to hear. Hopefully the car starts rewarding you better 👍🏻

[@robertworth8079]

2020 civic sport 2.0 NA 6 speed manual with 103K. runs like a clock. I was was persistent about not getting one without a turbo or a CVT trans, so glad i opted for the stick and the 2.0 ! FYI: put a new battery in it last week. went out to start the car in the morning and got message (parking brake issue) would not start. turns out if the battery dies it will not have enough juice to release the parking brake, no issues with the brake, replace battery.

[@BCautosolutions]

Thanks for sharing and smart choice 🫡

[@thecolorblack3886]

Same, I got the 2019 pretty much same car as the 2020 civic sport naturally aspirated 2.0 sport manual, not one single problem 54000 miles. I'm so glad I didn't get a cvt turbo.

[@markk2060]

Had the A/C compressor shaft seal fail before 36k and sunroof shattering without cause on at '21 civic. Take a look at complaints with sun/moon roofs spontaneously shattering as well as steering wheel "sticking" or stiff during certain conditions. Honda has been replacing steering racks without addressing the real cause..

[@grumplo3321]

I just bought a used 2019 honda civic and I LOVE IT. I just hate the fact that the parking brake is electronic and the android auto isnt wireless... had to buy an adapter

[@BCautosolutions]

Seems like minimal stuff but congrats 👍🏻

[@antcortes5681]

Any issues since you bought it ? I’m currently about the buy one 2019 Honda civic LX 2.0

[@grumplo3321]

@@antcortes5681 Sometimes if you do something like open your door for a drive through, the car likes to turn the parking break on. No transmission dipstick sucks. The Android Auto was a pain in the ass to get set up, but it's been perfect ever since. Changed out brake pads fairly easily, the BFE was a sinch. Overall, minor gripes but for sometimes less than $20 for a fillup, it more than makes up.

[@tedc8270]

Bought a 2017 Si brand new. Last summer at 34k the condenser went. Shortly after a rear window motor failed. Then a month ago with 43k every dash light came on. Took to dealer and they said it was a failed head gasket between cylinders 1 and 2. Quoted the job at $7,663. I didnt beat on the car and used nothing but 93 octane. Honda reliability is no more.

[@BCautosolutions]

With 43k it should still have been covered, there’s no way I’d be paying that. I’d go to a different dealer.

[@HarryTwatter]

@@BCautosolutions time ran out on warranty not the mileage

[@stevedesilets1105]

I have been toying with the idea of getting a new Civic si but reading all of these issues with the 1.5 think I am going to look at something else.

[@masonwatts2174]

The only weird thing that happened was my Infotainment touchscreen on my 2020 sport basically did a blue screen of death and didn’t work for about 5 minutes. Other than that, it’s a great car. 2.0 runs well!

[@RollieFingers59]

Had a 2018 Hatch Sport- bad oil dilution, wouldn’t get heat in cold weather and rodents damaged exactly where you said. That sucker got returned on a lease at the end.

[@BCautosolutions]

Sorry to hear! What did you replace it with?

[@samin_3]

I started my civic touring 2018 in the morning and all the lights on dash came on. I took it to the honda dealer today and they found a misfire. Now they want me to replace all 4 fuel injectors and it's pretty expensive. I hate having to do that when my car is fairly new with only 66k km on it. I checked on reddit and civicx forums and it's a widespread issue and a lot of people are dealing with this. Im surprised it's not covered under a recall or extended warranty

[@BCautosolutions]

Yep, injectors and head gaskets are far too common.

[@lnnoT6665]

Sr, i just noticed that my abs module is making a beeping noise with like 15-30secs interval. Only happens if i park the car after using it with engine off. Is that normal? The beeping noise disappears as the car cools down. Not really sure how long it takes. No lights on the dash or anything. Just that beeping after using the car. Btw, the noise is literally coming from the module itself. Can be heard if the hood is opened. Thank you

[@laurenesquibel9199]

This video is so helpful! had that same AC problem, and luckily it was fixed under that warranty. But now I have a new problem. Sometimes when I'm in reverse my car will just not move at all. Only happens sometimes but I'm not sure what's causing this. I have a 2018 Honda civic .

[@BCautosolutions]

Glad to hear it worked out for you. When the issue with reverse happens is the car cold?

[@laurenesquibel9199]

@@BCautosolutions yeah it pretty much has only happened right after I start my car usually to back out of parking spots/drive way happens rarely but it's scary when I'm pressing the pedal and the car isn't moving

[@TzadikTheManic]

Bought a 2016 LX right when it came out. The issues are mostly cosmetic thankfully including floor mats so damn cheap they developed holes after 2 yrs (only have 40k now), the wheels are rusting, never had this on previously cars. The rubber seal/strip around the front of hood is loose in a few places (just cheaply made?) and there’s an annoying rattle from the glovebox area - emptied it out it’s not stuff giggling around :( Anyhow great vid thanks!

Hey man I just recently bought a Honda civic sport 2021 sport 2.0L vtec with 40k miles I recently bought with the dealership saying the tire sensor needed replacement so they said they fixed it. later on all the warning lights came on ABS hill control brake system collision sensor control a bunch of error codes on the dash I took it to the dealership and they said it was a fuse so I brought it back and a day later all those lights came back I’m not sure what to do

Personally I haven’t seen any at our dealer and we average 80-150 cars a day. Not saying there isn’t an issue, just haven’t seen it personally although we have done a few steering rack motors but for lights, not hard steering or anything of that nature.

I overfilled my gas tank the other day when filling up my gas at a gas station. The fuel didn't spill out of my car or anything like that. It's just when i went back inside my car, I smelled fuel inside my cabin. Nevertheless, I drove it and soon enough the smell went away. Did I damaged anything to my car? This incident of overfilling my gas tank only happened once. That's it. The car is a 2019 Honda Civic EX sedan

[@patrickswaydeez]

I accelerated very fast the other day in very warm weather (for about 50 feet). Then when I parked to go inside the store and came back out the car, it slow started on me. Was barely kicking into start. As if the battery was dead but it was a low start. 4 days later its still slow starting. Honda civic 2020 2.0 engine. Any thoughts? Did I blow something out when I did that 0-60 in 4 seconds acceleration possibly?

[@terrencebenjamin7241]

So far I am a little north of 25k. I checked the engine coolant reservoir and it was low. Based on what you have said as symptoms to valve cover failures I am now a bit concerned. I did top it off and will monitor it. I was just assuming that it has been 3 years since i bought the car but now I will just watch out

[@BCautosolutions]

Best of luck!

[@nassimlamrous3721]

i have a HONDA CIVIC 2016 and just had the radiator motor fan went out, this car has only one fan in front so it causes two issues no AC and engine heat up

[@BCautosolutions]

That’s not too coming but I have seen a few

[@brasco96wired67]

My wife bought a 2016 civic new and it's been 1 problem after another since and the dealer has been nothing but shit to deal with. I'll never buy another Honda.

[@BCautosolutions]

Sorry to hear

[@lesleyd2090]

Mine too, fortunately nothing serious mechanically, yet, but I have had the hesitancy on accelerating from a stop thing, which is scary in busy traffic. The interior is crap, positioning of window buttons, cup holders, USB and 12v outlets, console tray are annoying, seat covers stained from water bottle leak as if was coffee or something, and splash guard constantly scrapes, cannot even pull forward a normal amount in a parking space and it scrapes so loudly. The Bluetooth has not worked since day one, mad at myself for not making them fix it, but many said they tried and didn't work. If somebody calls it doesn't work, just freezes the entire system and cannot even use audio until turn car off and back on. The voice dial by name does not work at all, never has. I went Honda to have a cool car that could last years, sick of payments, wish I had gone Toyota.

[@brasco96wired67]

1st it was that defective ac and they refused to fix it even tho it was still under warranty. Said it was damaged by road debris. They even have a recall on if I'm not mistaken. New rotors bc they said we had too much weigh in the car. Never happen in any of my other cars and I've been driving for 55 years. AC problem 2 more times after original fix. cracked side window in the back which was probably installed wrong, cheap or defective. Now this hesitating issue. I'm ready to just run this lemon into a tree for kicks and it only has 110k miles.

[@Jalto12]

I have a 2017 1.5 and it had around 65k miles I bought it at around 18k I’ve noticed after having it running for a while it sounds like it pushes itself more or just sounds like louder like it has a hard time when I press the accelerator I thought initially able to because I had the AC on and it was very hot but a/c was off

[@AntiAntiAntiFa]

I just had both low beam headlights fail to light on a 2018 Civic. The high beams are fine, the running lights and tail lights are fine. I pulled out one headlamp and it looked fine; the other one was in there too tight to remove. I cleaned both sockets with CRC (everything looked clean before spraying), and that didn't help. I checked both fuses, and even swapped them with the high beam fuses, and that made no difference. Is the switch a likely cause? I actually found this video by searching for this headlight problem.

[@Bigazzham]

2016 touring, 110,000km, 68,000 miles. Not a single issue. Bought the extended warranty never had to use beside the mice issue. I do regular maintenance, sometimes even sooner than recommended. Always run 91 octane, and I drive the absolute piss out of my car. My 1.5t has seen more shit in it's 110,000km then most do there entire lives lmao. From autocross to the probably over 1000 redline pulls of done haha. I swear driving your car hard here and there keeps it healthy lmao. Maybe I am lucky. I believe the 1.5t likes to be driven hard.

[@rowyourboat366]

One of the most annoying problems for this generation of Civics is the accidental remote opening of all windows if you sit on your key fob or press on it the wrong way when it’s in your pocket. You can go to your car in the morning and find all windows down, the interior fully accessible to anyone. There is no way to turn this feature off.

[@BCautosolutions]

Thats been a thing since like 2000 tho. Appreciate your input

[@markr.1984]

I have a 2017 EX-T sedan and my key FOB has nothing for the windows. Never heard of a key FOB with buttons for the windows. Never have owned a car with FOB window buttons. But mine has a "open trunk" button and I sometimes find myself having to stop on the side of the road to close my trunk!!

[@rowyourboat366]

You are right - there is no specific button for the windows on the key fob. However, there is a way to open all windows with the remote by following this sequence: click the unlock once and then, when you click it a second time and hold the button, all the windows and the sunroof (if you have one) will open. @@markr.1984

2018 Civic LX 2.0l 6spd manual cold start issue. Starting the car first thing in the morning any temperature, turn the key, starter engages, turns over the engine, engine catches, the rpm initially drops to almost a stall then increases to high idle instead of going to a high idle like normal. Every start after that it functions as normal, only on a cold start does it almost stall. Seems to be getting progressively worst and I'm worried one day it won't start.

04-05 s2000s we’re solid. Stay on top of fluid maintenance. Remove delay valve from clutch slave cylinder (causes clutch slippage at full throttle shifts) some cases of rear axle cup wear that can be corrected with spacers or new inner joints. Also have your valve lash checked every 30-45k.

It’s most likely not a problem and on “high” to cool off the condenser for proper ac cooling. Usually if it’s extremely loud is due to an aftermarket fan assembly.

Hi, what do you think about Civic 2015 1.6 i-dtec? Any knows isues with this model? Thank!

[@BCautosolutions]

Don’t know much about it to have a valid assessment

[@dannybryant6873]

If it has a turbo I would pass (turbos live in the exhaust, an incredibly nasty place). If it has GDI without port injection I would pass (backs of intake valves will carbon up). If it has a mechanical CVT I would pass (they are more reliable than they used to be). Regarding the rocks damaging the cooler. WHY do some Hondas not get a grill to provide some protection? A rock ruined the AC radiator in my 06 Odyssey van. I noticed that the van didn't have a grill. After the repair (which isn't warranty work, your insurance might help) i made a grill out of a plastic panel. Any flying projectile bigger than a cm will have to break plastic first before damaging the radiator. Regarding rodents. I keep fox urine and moth balls under the hood. Rodents like the knock sensor wires on the 06 Odyssey (don't ask me how I know). My cars are Prius and Mustang (both 2013). Neither vehicle has these issues.

So I got a Honda civic 2019 sport at first my car jus said electric parking damage and the car didn’t start so I got cables n connected it to the battery n the car did start n the electric parking code went away but now I have to use the cables everytime to start the car so I’m thinkin it’s the battery and it’s been like that two days but now it perfectly starts any ideas on what it could be?

[@stevenr1354]

Am considering 2023 Civic with 2.0 NA or EX with 1.5T. I like the 1.5T power. The turbo boost on the EX is 16.5 psi vs 20.2 on the 1.5T Accord. Both run 87 octane. Do you think that makes Civic less likely to blow head gaskets than Accord? (Lighter vehicle, less stress on engine too?)

Precisely. In fact I’ve done more accord then civics and crvs. That’s my exact dissection as to the major contributor for that. Nice job 👍🏻

Ford on some of their Ecoboost 4 cylinder engines from 2015-2019 or so had an issue with coolant intrusion between cylinder 2 and 3 due to the poor design of the block to head gasket mating surface. There was a little slit between the cylinders to allow for extra cooling on the open deck design. However, there wasn't enough surface area for the head gasket to seal properly. As a result, there have been coolant intrusion issues as well has cracked head issues. I noticed that the Honda L engine has a very similar open deck/cylinder cooling slit design.
