Hey guys,
My car is currently at a Honda dealership (2013 Civic Si Sedan). The problem is as follows. I had taken my car to the dealer to take my snow tires off and put my all seasons back on. I also had them swap out the whole shifter set up since my weighted steel shift knob was welded onto the shifter. They pulled up the center console and replaced it, reconnected all cables and everything. I got the car back and drove it and upon accelerating, the car seemed to go out of gear and who not catch. I wound up having to call AAA to tow it back to Honda for them to look at. They thought they had found the issue, but then when myself and one of the Honda techs took it for a test drive, the same issue happen. It seems to happen when I get to 6K RPMs, that the car goes into LIMP mode which is a safety mode that I'm sure many of you may know more about than me. They were saying one of the cylinders was mis firing or something. Any way, they still have the car and I have not heard back from them. Has anyone else had such an issue or any theories as to what it could be? I can try to provide more detail if you have questions. Thanks in advance for any help.
