SPEEDOMETER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING AND FREEZE AT 20 MPH. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO DRIVE AT EXCESSIVE AND UNSAFE SPEEDS WITHOUT BEING AWARE. BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, DUE TO POOR CIRCUIT BOARD SOLDERING, IN CIVICS OVER THE YEARS WITH SAME CIRCUIT BOARD.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I WANT THE AIRBAG REPLACED SINCE THERE IS A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED THEN SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE GEAR SHIFT AREA. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND EXITED MY CAR. I OPENED THE HOOD AND WITHIN MINUTES MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME PUT IT OUT. *TR
