I bought a new 2009 Civic LX in December 2008 and about 2 months ago, I took the car back to the Honda dealership service department to have our brand new car serviced because I had trouble with the car starting properly.

The problem with the starting is that WHEN YOU GET IN THE CAR AND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT TYPICALLY STARTS PERFECT. OTHER TIMES, RANDOMLY, THE CAR WILL CRANK, AS IF IT IS TRYING TO START BUT NOT CATCHING. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 2-3 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOMS TIMES, WHEN THE GAS IS FULL, WHEN THE GAS IS ALMOST EMPTY; WHEN THE WEATHER IS -7 AND WHEN THE WEATHER IS +15.

Let me know if any of you have had any problems like this and the response you have received from the dealerships.

 

You didn't pay $30,000 for a Honda Civic LX.

 

Iv had some problems with my 08 Lx, but nothing like this.....and with my problems Honda fixed them with no question.

 

thanks for the info splat
