Just bought a '19 civic si

[0percentapr]

Hey y'all, just bought a new 2019 Civic Si Coupe and decided to join the forums. Came from a BMW 320i, I thought I would miss the rear wheel drive but the Si handles great. Unfortunately it's at the dealership for some warranty work but thought I'd join in the mean time since I miss it. Car has been great, but with only 900 miles on it, it's had some problems. One day I was driving and I downshifted and started braking and the engine made a weird noise and started idling at 1500 when I came to a stop and all the error lights came on. I turned off the car and turned it back on and the idle went away but the lights were all still on, I had to disconnect the ECU fuse to get the problem to go away. Fast forward a few weeks and I had come from work on Friday with no problems on the car. Saturday afternoon I started her up and I couldn't disengage the electric parking brake. It kept saying emergency brake error or something so I had to get it towed to the dealership, it's been about 5 days now and it doesn't seem like they are close to a fix yet. Hopefully this gets resolved soon because it's a great car when it was working. I tried searching the forums and haven't seen any posts about not being able to disengage the parking brake, has anyone else had this problem?

That sucks man. Hopefully they get it resolved and you never look back. I bought a new ‘12 Jetta and within the first thousand miles had to have the rear brakes replaced on both sides due to a constant clicking. Never had a problem with it after that. Hope yours turns out the same.

I dig those wheels, very nice. Mine is white too. You going to add some exterior mods ?

Maybe you were just unlucky and got a lemon :/

It looks good.. Everytime I see the white I feel like I made a mistake getting the black.

Hope they take good care of you and all the issues clear up.

Probably no more exterior mods, just a tint. What would constitute a lemon? I live in California, this is the first time I'm bringing it in, it would be nice to get a refund if it really is a lemon.

Yea a tint is a must. I have to get mine done too.

Anyone else can correct me if I'm wrong here but I believe a car constituting a lemon that would be a new car that experiences several major mechanical and electrical issues or failures. Your dealership would probably make that call if they see so many issues. I'm not sure about any laws for California. Maybe you could ask your dealer to call it that for a sick nasty new car.

Knowing dealerships, they'll probably tell me to wait for a few more problems lol, I just want the car back at this point. Supposedly they're ordering a new VSA part or something because they think that is what is causing the problem.

My opinion the electronic parking brake is not a big deal, the other problem sounds like they need to reflash or replace the ecu, neither problem imo is a big deal, yeah it suks but they’ll get it straightened out.

Should've got a Korean car. J. D. Powers indicate their quality is going up while Honda is going down the toilet.
