[quote=Anonymous]I just bought a 2012 Honda Civic from a private party off AutoTrader.

Paid in cash and do not know what to do.

1.) Car is auto transmission and when parked on a steep hill - once I let my foot off the brake, the car rolls backward prior to stepping on the gas.
Yes! While in Drive!!!!
Is this harmful for my transmission? Because I can always put the gear into Park when I stop but when I then move it back to Drive, the transmission shutters hard.

This is a fuel-efficient vehicle & my Sister said the car does this to preserve fuel.
That the torque in the car is just not strong enough.

2.) Car has a sensor in the front passenger seat.
If a man adult occupies the seat, nothing.
But if my thirteen year old skinny niece does the dashboard lights up chiming ⚠️ Airbag Off ⚠️
every three minutes.
I get that this is a huge safety factor because it is letting me know that if a passenger is below a certain weight limit, then it would be dangerous to deploy the airbag.
But it is annoying.

Can anyone tell me if they deal w/this in their cars?[/quote]
