What owners wrote
Our new 2005 honda civic had both front wheels lock while my wife was going to work, driving down the freeway in fort worth tx. The car was totaled, crashing into a guard rail, blowing the air bags, spinning around, starting a fire at the left front wheel and starting my wife's coat on fire as she was getting out. We have an eye witness who has a degree in engineering, photos, a police report and the car itself.
Since buying my vehicle on numerous occasions when putting the vehicle into neutral the car will stall. When putting the car back into gear it won't start up again until I put the car back into neutral take my foot off the clutch and then put it back into gear again. Since the 3rd day of owning the car this has happened . The dealership checked the battery terminals but it continued. Does this whether it's raining or not.
