I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX brand new. I have been expericing some really annoying things with the car. I brought it back to Honda and they said it is all normal. Please help me out with these problems:

1. When stopped at a red light the car feels like it is ready to stale, it shakes and the ideal goes down to one.

2. Going down hill the car gets stuck in high gear

3. When shifting from park to drive there is a grinding noise.

4. When the air is on the fan goes off every minute.

5. When ideal in park the exhuast shake and sputters like crazy.

All this is normal according to Honda, let me know what you all think please.

 

man, i have read too many posts on the 2008 model that say so many similar things. but yours beats them all.

none of these symptoms are normal and your dealer is screwing you over. go to another dealer. every dealer is required by law to service your car regardless of where you bought it. i would take it to another dealer that didn't sell it to you and complain. then if the tech gives you a hard time, then move your way up the chain of command.

by the way, you really need them to sit in the car with you while all these symptoms occur so that they can acknowledge that your observations are correct.

this stinks.
