ON MY WAY TO LAX, ABOUT TWO HOURS FROM HOME, MY CAR FAILED ON HIGHWAY 101. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED. WE WERE NEAR THOUSAND OAKS ON HWY 101 SO CAR TAKEN TO PEP BOYS WHICH WAS OPEN (IT WAS A SUNDAY). THEY COULD NOT FIX TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SO MONDAY THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LEON TRANSMISSION. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK, REPAIRED IT AND CHARGED ME $2920. I HAD TO RENT A CAR THAT SUNDAY BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET TO LAX TO PICK UP TWO UNACCOMPANIED MINORS ARRIVING FROM PORTLAND OR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR TROUBLE CODES P0740 TC AND P0700 TRANSMISSION FAULT. REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND CONVERTER INSTALLED. WHEN I PICKED UP THE REPAIRED VEHICLE ON SATURDAY JUL 27, I DROVE IT FOR A LITTLE OVER 30 MILES AND IT FAILED AGAIN. TOWED THE CAR BACK TO LEON'S TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THERE IS ANOTHER ERROR CODE, P1361, TDC SENSOR WHICH THEY COULD NOT FIX BUT ANOTHER MECHANIC WAS OPEN AND REPLACED THE TCD SENSOR. THIS REPAIR COST $306. FINALLY, AFTER A WEEK AND $3226, I DROVE MY CAR BACK HOME,150 MILES FROM WHERE I LEFT THE VEHICLE A WEEK EARLIER. I NEEDED A CAR SO HAD TO RENT A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE FOR A WEEK. *JS

THE HONDA THE INFLATOR IN THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON 6/2/2014 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THIS HONDA IS NOT NEAR TO MY HOME AND I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE CAR THE SAME DAY. I THEN CALLED THE 800 NUMBER TO ENSURE THAT I COULD BE SEEN AT THE YONKERS HONDA AND THAT THE CAR COULD BE DONE THE SAME DAY SINCE THIS SITE HAD TOLD ME THAT OTHERS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FIRST REGARDLESS WEATHER I GOT THERE FIRST OR NOT. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FROM THE 800 NUMBER THIS MONDAY JUNE 9, 2014 AND AFTER AN HOUR OF WAITING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER ANGRY THAT I HAD TO WAIT AN ENTIRE WEEK THE PERSON AT THE 800 NUMBER SAID SORRY MISCOMMUNICATION. AT THIS TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE HONDA IN YONKERS TOLD ME NO NOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST INSPECTED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS LATER. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HAS 38,000 MILES. I'M ITS ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA IS TAKING A SHORT CUTS KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE LIGHT I'M REALLY DISTRESSED THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE REALLY DEFECTIVE ALTOGETHER AND EVEN IF THE INFLATOR IS REPLACED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL IN SOME WAY CAUSE INJURY TO ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I SPOKE THE HONDA 800 REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS HIGHLY DISMISSED LIKE JUST THE INFLATOR . COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I BELIEVE HONDA IS DECEPTIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY AND I NOW A HAD A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING AN APPT. I HAVE TO RETURN HONDA'S CALL BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE PART, WHAT ABOUT THE LIGHTS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EXTRA AS A CONSUMER ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR SOME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

AFTER HAVING MOTHERS DAY BREAKFAST WITH MY FIANCE OUR CHILD AND ME. I WAS DRIVING ALL OF US HOME WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AS WE WERE ON A MAJOR ROAD AND 4 CARS HAD TO AVOID HITTING MY VEHICLE THANK GOD I HAD QUICK THINKING AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON SINCE I DID HAVE MY THREE YEAR OLD IN THE BACKSEAT. I ALMOST MADE IT OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY BEFORE I HAD TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND MY FIANCE HAD TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AS I PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD THANKFULLY A GENTLEMAN GOT OUT OF HIS TRUCK AND HELPED US AS WE NEARLY ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE COST ME OR MY FAMILY TO BE EXTREMELY INJURED AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HONDA NEGLECTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BAFFLES ME. IF THE EXECUTIVE'S AT HONDA HAD THERE FAMILY IN A CAR AND GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE IS FIT TO PUT INTO THEIR VEHICLES I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THE SAME OUTLOOK ON NOT ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS PART. HONDA NEEDS TO WISE UP BEFORE THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAUSES SOMEONE TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR CAUSES THEM TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. PLEASE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL. IT'S MONEY IT'S NOT WORTH PEOPLE GETTING HURT DRIVING YOUR VEHICLES. *TR

BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX IN THE END OF SUMMER OF 2013 FOR MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE HAD STARTED COLLEGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD AND BEEN RECOMMENDED TO BUY A HONDA. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT-OUT. SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HESITATE AND STUTTER ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SHE ALMOST HAD AND ACCIDENT. WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $2,652. I HAD TO USE MY INCOME AND PART OF MY DAUGHTER'S LAST FEW DOLLARS TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. NOW THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. I FEAR FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY. THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ON A SPECIFIC ISSUE (TRANSMISSION FAILURE) SHOULD HAD BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED, INSTEAD THEY ARE STILL POSING A THREAT TO NOT JUST OUR SAFETY, BUT TO ALSO THE PUBLIC. THIS TRANSMISSION IS STILL HURTING THE PEOPLE'S WALLETS AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINT THAT EVEN AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY MY DAUGHTER MIGHT NOT GET SO LUCKY AND HAVE AND ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY FIXED BY IMPOSING A RECALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD POSING AND THREAT TO THE PEOPLE'S SAFETY. *TR

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
