What owners wrote
My daughter (17 years old) was driving at 35 miles in leona valley ca on last friday 2015 her honda civic (7,000 miles on odometer). Her car low-pressure air light came on and then car started to swerve violently left to right. Within few minutes the car brakes stopped functioning (according to her, it felt she was pushing on air when she pressed the brake paddle) and then the steering wheel locked. The car ended up on its side and caught fire. It started a brush fire (25 acres) here in ca.
Today I went under the hood because my car broke down in the middle of an intersection on the way to the honda dealership as my car was acting strange. It wasnt accelerating as normal and didnt feel like it was switching gears. Under the hood I discovered the transmission fluid fill cap was completely missing. Ive read online others have had this issue and it was advised to file this report.
