What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda civic. While driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. In addition, the contact noticed smoke emitting from the engine compartment and all the doors failed to unlock. As a result, the contact had to exit the vehicle through the front driver side window, which was rolled down. In addition the contact stated that the vehicle caught fire. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
When I start the car it rumbles and the rpms rev up. I know it is the wires that go from the ignition coils to the engine that is causing the problems but.. You cant buy that part at an auto part store bc the wire harness is not patented.. To go to honda its $793. Since ive only had the car I have only put 50k mles on it. This is ridiculous that im having this major of an issue this soon.
