5 Most Common Honda Repairs at DAS

Honda vehicles are popular in Malaysia for their reliability and comfort—but like any car, they aren’t immune to wear and tear. At DAS Malaysia, we’ve serviced hundreds of Hondas yearly and have identified the top 5 most common Honda repairs and issues that owners face. More importantly, we’re not just fixing symptoms—we diagnose the root cause using advanced tools and experience.

Whether you drive a Honda City, Civic, CR-V or Accord, this guide gives you insights into typical problems and how we solve them at DAS with transparency, professionalism, and SOP.

1. Engine Mounting Wear

Common in: Honda City, Civic
Symptoms: Vibration during idling, gear shifts, or while accelerating.
Cause: Rubber inside the mounting degrades due to heat and age.
Solution:
a. ✅ Inspection with load simulation
b. ✅ Replacement with high-quality OEM-grade engine mounts
c. ✅ Test drive to confirm smoothness

DAS Insight: We don’t just guess. We check all mountings systematically to avoid repeat issues—ensuring real peace of mind.

2. CVT & Auto Transmission Jerking or Delay

Common in:

CVT models: Honda City, Civic
Auto Transmission: CR-V, Accord

Symptoms: Jerky gear changes, hesitation, or delay during acceleration.
Cause: Old or degraded transmission fluid, especially if never flushed.
Lifespan: After 60,000–100,000 km, depending on driving style and service history.
Why traditional service fails:
Traditional drain-and-fill replaces only ~30–40% of the fluid. A proper transmission flush using a machine is needed to replace up to 90–100%, especially to clean out the torque converter, which traps old fluid and contaminants.

Solution:
a. ✅ Full transmission flush using machine
b. ✅ Replacement with Genuine and Honda Approved ATF/CVTF
c. ✅ Before/after fluid photos for customer transparency

DAS Promise: We don’t just top up—we restore performance using proper equipment and certified processes.

3. Air Conditioning Weak Cooling or Odour

Common in: Most Honda models after 3–5 years

Symptoms:

i. Weak cooling

ii. Bad smell

iii. Weak Air Flow

Cause: Clogged expansion valve, Mold buildup in blower, Leaks in evaporator or pipe and failed compressor.

Solution at DAS:
a. ✅ Aircond flush & leak test using advanced machine
b. ✅ Clean air blower with air cond foam cleaner
c. ✅ Disinfection using Bluechem Klima Fresh – eliminates 99% of bacteria and formaldehyde

4. Brake Judder or Uneven Braking

Common in: Honda City, Civic, Jazz, Accord, CRV, HRV
Symptoms: Steering wheel shakes while braking
Cause: Warped brake disc or uneven brake pad wear
Solution:
a. ✅ Precision disc measurement
b. ✅ Disc skimming or replacement
c. ✅ Recognized brand brake pads with proper bedding-in

DAS Expertise: Brake inspections at DAS include pad thickness checks, disc warping diagnostics, and fluid level and water contents analysis.

5. VTEC System Leak (Cam Cap / VTEC Pump)

Common in: Civic, City, Accord, Insights, CRZ
Symptoms: Oil stain at engine top, drop in engine oil level
Cause: Aging gasket or seal around VTEC solenoid or cam cap
Lifespan: Typically seen after 80,000–120,000 km
Solution:

b. ✅ Clean engine surface and monitor leak
c. ✅ Check engine oil health and top-up if needed
