I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF MY 2017 HONDA CIVIC TOURING SPORT IN A PARKING GARAGE (2/27/2020) WHEN THE CAR WAS IN 'DRIVE', NOT 'PARK.' WHILE STORING ITEMS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE CAR ROLLED ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC (12 FEET?) AND HIT ANOTHER CAR CAUSING BUMPER DAMAGE. MY CAR DID THIS SO SILENTLY THAT THE ONLY ALERT I RECEIVED WAS THE CRASH ITSELF; THE CAR'S COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. MY 14 MONTH OLD BABY WAS SITTING IN A REAR FACING CAR SEAT. HAD OTHER DRIVERS NOT BEEN CAREFUL, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THESE CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO INTO PARK WHEN THEY'RE TURNED OFF. IN CLOSING, I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH, AND SEVERAL OTHER 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAVE FILLED 'ROLLAWAY CAR' COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ONE: HTTPS://TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/CONSUMER-PRODUCTS/AUTO-NEWS/868008-HONDA-CIVIC-ROLLAWAY-PROBLEM-PURPORTEDLY-ROLLED-FORWARD-TO-2017-AND-2018-CARS/ HTTPS://WWW.CLASSACTION.ORG/HONDA-ROLL-AWAY-LAWSUITS THIS VEHICLE SEEMS AS UNSAFE AS A 737 MAX!

MY OILS IS BEING DILUTED BY FUEL STRONG ODER OF GAS FROM OIL. SHOWS THAT IT IS OVER FILLED . WHEN IT IS COLD OUT SIDE MY ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS STUTTERING AND IT STARTS TO CLICK UNDER ACCELERATION. MY CAR HAS ALREADY HAD FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MISFIRING ISSUES AND MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY 50 MPH ROADS AND HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. EVERY HONDA DEALER I'VE BROUGHT IT TO SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND WILL NOT ADMIT THAT MY OIL IS DILUTED. BUT I HEARD THEM SAYING HOW BAD THE OIL SMELL OF GAS

NEW CIVIC SEDAN JUST TURNED OVER 1 YEAR OLD AND IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED WEIRD AT TIMES, ALMOST CAUSING ME A FEW ACCIDENTS (MAINLY AT ACCELERATION). STOPPED BY DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF COVINGTON) SOMETIME IN THE FALL AND SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT LOTS OF CIVIC OWNERS STOP BY AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS, BUT THIS IS JUST "HOW THEY ARE" AND THEY WILL GET BETTER AS THEY BUILD MORE OF THEM. I DIDN'T BUY A CHRYSLER OR EDSEL AND EXPECTED MY OVER 20K SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE TO BE BETTER THAN THAT. SOMETIMES IT ENGAGES ROUGHLY WHEN WE SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND SOMETIMES IT LAGS A WHILE THEN JUMPS INTO GEAR. WE NOW HAVE AROUND 8K MILES ON THIS 4 DOOR SEDAN
