    Stumbling Honda Civic

    Honda Honda Advice Honda Civic Honda Civic Advice Honda Civic 2009
    The engine in my 2009 Honda Civic VTi occasionally misses when I am cruising at about 90 to 100 km/h. I have reported it twice, to two different dealers, and both told me there was no problem they could find. The second dealer told me that the slight "stumble", as he described it, was a characteristic of this particular engine when the engine computer changed modes. I find it hard to believe that Honda would build an engine with this problem; or is it just dealer spin?

    Like you suspect I too reckon it's dealer spin. It's the sort of thing a dealer says when they can't diagnose a problem. Take it back to the dealer, tell them you are unhappy they haven't been able to fix the problem, and make take them for a drive in the car to demonstrate the problem. That way there should be no dispute over its existence.
