On the 2022-2024 Honda City, the seventh-generation City (GN, Brazil 2022+) with the direct-injection 1.5 i-VTEC suffers a documented high-pressure fuel pump defect. Owners report sudden loss of power during acceleration, hesitation when overtaking, an 'emission system problem' warning on the dash, and even the engine stalling at highway speed. Honda Brazil acknowledged the fault in technical tips 010/22 (issued 18 July 2022, referencing DTC P0087 — fuel rail pressure too low) and 004/23, attributing it to the high-pressure pump feeding the direct-injection system. The issue was covered by Quatro Rodas' consumer-defense column (Autodefesa), AUTOO and Auto+TV, with multiple owners reporting repeat failures after dealer visits; out-of-warranty quotes approaching R$ 9,000-10,000 (including spark plugs, injectors, and in some cases catalytic converter) have been documented. Complaints concentrate in 2022-2023 builds and reportedly decreased after the 2024 refresh.

This issue also affects: Acura ILX, Acura MDX, Acura TLX

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden loss of power during acceleration
  • 'Emission system problem' warning on the instrument cluster
  • Engine hesitation or failed overtaking attempts
  • Engine stalling, including at highway speed
  • Check engine light with misfire-like running

How to Fix

Have the dealer diagnose per Honda technical tips 010/22 / 004/23: read fault codes (P0087 and associated misfire codes), test fuel rail pressure, and replace the high-pressure fuel pump under warranty. If misfires occurred, spark plugs and injectors may also need inspection or replacement, and a software update may accompany the repair. In-warranty repairs are free; owners with repeat failures should escalate to Honda Brazil customer care citing the technical bulletins. Out-of-warranty owners should request goodwill given the documented factory bulletins.

Typical repair cost:$500 - $2,000

On the 2009-2023 Honda City, owners of the GM-generation City (2009-2014) extensively document wear in the electric power steering rack: play develops at the rack bushing/base, producing clicking when turning the wheel, dry knocks from the front end on uneven pavement, and a loose feel in the steering. Honda City Club forum threads describe the steering-box bushing wear as a known weak point, with owners resorting to custom-machined bushings because of the cost of a complete rack. The complaint resurfaced on the GN generation (2022-2023): Reclame Aqui carries multiple 'barulho na caixa de direção' complaints for the 2022 City, Auto+TV lists steering-box noise among the new model's recurring problems (often at low mileage, ~25,000 km), and one owner group reportedly gathered over 40 participants with the same steering noise complaint.

Common Symptoms

  • Clicking or knocking when turning the steering wheel
  • Dry knocks from the front end on rough or uneven pavement
  • Noticeable play or looseness in the steering wheel
  • Metallic rattle at low speeds over bumps
  • Noise appears at relatively low mileage

How to Fix

Have the front end inspected to rule out cheap causes first — stabilizer links (~R$ 57 each), tie-rod ends, and control-arm bushings are frequent contributors. If the noise/play is traced to the steering rack itself, options are replacing the rack bushing (inexpensive; machined aftermarket bushings are a proven City fix on the forums) or, in severe wear cases, replacing the complete rack. On GN models still under warranty, insist the dealer document the noise and repair under warranty rather than accepting repeated 'tightening' visits.

Typical repair cost:$60 - $1,000
