2013 Honda CIVIC Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1115004
Internal NHTSA #	10639416

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Was driving on the highway at 55-60 mph. Wanted to press "hazard warning button" and by accident pressed the "engine start/stop button". Because "hazard warning lights" did not start flashing i automatically pressed the "engine start/stop button" second time - the engine turned off. Since engine was off brakes stopped working and power steering stopped working as well. There is no way to turn engine on while car was moving - as you can do it only when the transmission on "p" (parking) - and you cannot switch transmission into "p" (mode) when car is moving at 60 mpg. By luck i was able to pull car over without accident. I understand that maybe i was stupid and that is my mistake that by accident i pressed a wrong button, however, there should be no way the engine can go off while car is moving under any conditions and any drivers actions because it directly may leads to a crash which could be avoid only by a luck. I consider it is as extremely serious safety issue which should be immediately investigated and fixed.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
