I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED 3 MONTHS AGO, HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC INSPECT IT AND DO ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY TO MAKE IT ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE. NEW TIMING BELT, HEAD GASKET, BRAKES, ENGINE MOUNTS, BUSHINGS, TIRES, AC COMPRESSOR, BELTS, ETC. ETC. SO AFTER SPENDING OVER $2500.00 IN REPAIRS I THOUGHT I HAD A PERFECTLY RUNNING SAFE VEHICLE. AND IT DID RUN BEAUTIFULLY UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT AROUND 45 MPH WITHOUT ANY SIGN OR INDICATION OF TROUBLE I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK FROM UNDER THE CAR AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. LUCKILY, WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC AROUND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID PORING OUT FROM BELOW. I HAD AAA TOW THE CAR TO A RELIABLE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ROUGH ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR $2000. - $2600. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS SHOCKED AND ANGRY. AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT I'M NOT ALONE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS, PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DESIGN FLAW FOR YEARS AND MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LEAVING IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DANGER WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.. *TR

MY SPOUSE AND I WERE ON THE FREEWAY AND APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER WE GOT ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60MPH AND I WAS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THAT SPEED BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WAS DROPPING BUT THE RPM GAUGE WAS GOING UP. I SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH FROM D TO D3 A FEW TIMES AND THE CAR POPPED BACK INTO GEAR. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE NEXT FREEWAY EXIT AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. PARKED IT AND THEN HAD IT TOWED. *TR

COMPLAINT: SPENT $4000 TO COMPLETELY REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION AT 96,800 MILES LAST SPRING AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME EARLY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE A YEAR LATER. THERE WAS NO ENGINE/WARNING LIGHT TO WARN ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS, STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHER THAN NORMAL. I?M LUCKIER THAN A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS ISSUE BEFORE MY TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF MY CAR OR STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING. I THINK IF 600+ PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT A VERY OBVIOUS ENGINE FAILURE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM CURRENTLY SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS GETTING STUCK WHILE SWITCHING GEARS AND HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING IN BETWEEN THE GEARS. AND IS JUST GENERALLY RUNNING ROUGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION IN A HONDA AT 96,800 MILES LET ALONE AGAIN AT 124,000 AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. MY CAR WAS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH LAST SPRING WHEN I FIXED IT BUT CHOOSE TO DO IT THINKING I?D BE SET FOR THE REST OF THE CAR?S LIFE. NOW I?M LOOKING AT HAVING TO SELL IT FOR SCRAPS AND GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I CAN NOT SHELL OUT ANOTHER $4,000 TO FIX A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC, WITH 163,000 MILES ON IT AND REGULARLY SERVICED, LAST TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 150,000. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE REV'S BUT NO MOTION, GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVER TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT. CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000.00. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 160,000 MILES. THEN I SEE ON HERE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS ON THE HONDA CIVIC. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEM. *JB

UPON ENTERING EXPRESSWAY, GOING TO CHANGE LANES - TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED. NOTHING BUT ENGINE REVING WHEN PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. ALMOST GOT KILLED DUE TO TRUCK HAVING TO STOP AS WE COASTED OFF HIGHWAY. UPON HAVING VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER (HONDA LISLE) AND GOING ON LINE I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS. THIS IS TRULY A DANGER TO THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR EXPERIENCES POSTED ONLINE. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. REGULAR SERVICE, NO MAJOR REPAIRS PRIOR. ON DAY OF INCIDENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN RPM BUT GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP BY TOW TRUCK AND CODES WERE RUN BY DEALER ON 4/15/2013. CODE FOR "INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE" WAS FOUND. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $4500. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 4/15/2013 FOR INFORMATION ABOUT REPAIR COST REDUCTION. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPORTED THAT DUE TO VEHICLE AGE AND MILEAGE A GOODWILL REPAIR COULD NOT BE PERFORMED, NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE AS VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL OR 2006 HONDA TRANSMISSION SETTLEMENT, NOR COST LOWERED BY DEALER VIA INTERVENTION FROM CORPORATE OFFICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT SINCE NO OFFICIAL RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *I REQUEST THE NHTSA TO PERFORM AN INSPECTION OF THIS PROBLEM AS MANY NORMALLY DRIVEN 2001 HONDA CIVICS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHICH MAY BE DUE TO A TRANSMISSION DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE MANIFESTING AFTER 10-12 YEARS AND/OR >90,000 MILES. HONDA VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY, IN SOME CASES LASTING WELL BEYOND 200,000 MILES AND 12 YEARS OF TROUBLE-FREE DRIVING. MANY ARE NOW FACED WITH JUNK YARD OR SALVAGE DUE TO THE PROBLEM OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND THEN FOUND OUT THERE ARE $3000 MINIMUM ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. INCLUDING REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER, THE AIRBAGS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY, THE REAR WINDOW WON'T ROLL DOWN. ALSO, THE EVAPORATION SENSOR AND CANISTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I CANNOT FIND THE RIGHT PART TO REPLACE IT. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SEATBELT ISSUE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS SAY THAT IT IS ENGAGING. *TR

I WAS YET ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OF HONDA'S CHEAP TRANSMISSION AND I SAY CHEAP IN THAT IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY NOT THAT IT IS CHEAP TO GET IT REPAIRED. NO THAT IS OVER $2000 ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY CAR DILIGENTLY TAKING IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS AT HONDA'S RECOMMENDED MILEAGE; I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. I HAD JUST PULLED UP TO A BUSY STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS AND MY CAR MOVED FORWARD LIKE USUAL, BUT SUDDENLY RIGHT AS I PAST THE INTERSECTION THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN JUST DIED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND SOME HOW AFTER A FEW MINUTES MANAGED TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD JUST ENOUGH TO PULL IT INTO A TURN OFF. I HAD NUMEROUS PEOPLE HONKING AND YELLING AT ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HONDA IF YOU'RE LISTENING, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM YOU. NHTSA IF YOU'RE LISTENING PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THIS COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED. *TR
