I WAS DRIVING FINE ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN I HAD TO SLOW DUE TO TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC RESUMED NORMAL AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE AND WAS NOT WORKING ON THE VERY BUSY EXPRESSWAY. THE DRIVER BEHIND NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER AND ASSISTED BLOCKING CAR AS SHE PLACED HERSELF IN TWO LANES. I PULLED INTO A SMALL SPACE ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND THE CODE WAS P0730 "INCORRECT GEAR RATIO" CALLED HONDA REPAIRS WILL COST 2,500.. I'M VERY UNHAPPY I TOOK GREAT CARE OF MY CAR. THE WORST PART IS IT STOPPED ALL OF SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN. I'M EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND HAD MY OTHER CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. THEN I CALLED A TOW TRUCK THAT COULD NOT TRANSPORT DUE TO THE CAR SEAT WOULD NOT FIT FOR MY CHILD. SO I HAD TO CALL FOR SOMEONE ELSE. I SPOKE TO HONDA ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION , I ADVISED OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ADVISED THAT WAS NOT ALOT I UNDERSTAND THEIR VIEW ON THE NUMBERS OF CAR THEY HAVE MADE BUT SOMEONE COULD DIE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ADVISED TO SPEAK TO MY DEALERSHIP SO I WILL BUT THANK GOD NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT BUT DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE INJURED FOR HONDA TO SEND OUT LETTERS OR A RECALL. I JUST DON'T WANT SOME TO BE EXPOSED TO ALL THE DANGERS I WAS EXPOSED TO THAT DAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ERRATICALLY WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WERE PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A SPECIALIZED TRANSMISSION AUTO SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SPECIALIZED TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,622 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN 20002 HONDA CIVIC AUTO TRANSMISSION. I STARTED DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING. IT START REVVING HARDER AND HARDER. I'M LUCKY I MADE IT HOME. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS FULL, CLEAN AND CORRECT COLOR. I DECEIVED TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP. I WAS HORRIFIED TO FOUND OUT IT HAD FAILED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. I HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER HAVING IT PAID OFF LESS THEN A YEAR. I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA AGAIN. *TR

I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL BEING USED. WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. 1 WEEK LATER ON 12/16/2008 CAR'S TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ON NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. IT FAILED AT 114000 MILES. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THAT A LOT OF OTHER 2002 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AROUND THE 100K MILE MARK. HONDAS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE WELL KNOWN AS DEPENDABLE CARS AND MARKET THEIR CARS THAT WAY. IT IS VERY DECEITFUL. I'VE HAD OLDER CIVIC'S THAT LASTED UP TO 200000 MILES AND I TRADED IT IN AND HAD NO ISSUES. *TR

MY CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BLEW MONDAY NIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAD BEEN REVVING UP ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING. IT IS ONLY A 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX WITH 87,000 MILES ON IT. I KEEP IT IN GOOD SHAPE. I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON MADISON AVE. JUST PASSING MANZINITA IN SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. I HAD NO WARNING. I FINALLY GOT IT TO MY DAYCARE 20 MINUTES AFTER IT BLEW AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MOM SEARCHED 2002 HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. HONDA NOW WANTS ME TO PAY $3111.22 TO FIX IT AND DID NOT MENTION THAT THEY HAVE FIXED IT FOR FREE FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I FOUND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. *TR

I OWN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING A LITTLE SO I TOOK IT TO MY HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY CALLED AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BLACK AND SMELLED BURNT. THEY CHANGED IT AS WELL AS GIVING ME A TIMING BELT SERVICE PACKAGE ($635) AND SPARKPLUG CHANGE ($200). UPON TAKING IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, IT STOPPED WORKING. AFTER A RESTART THEY MANAGED TO GET IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT GAVE THE ERROR CODE CORRESPONDING TO "IMPROPER GEAR RATIO" WHICH IN TURN TRANSLATED TO COMPLETE AND TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I DID SOME DIGGING AND FOUND VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER CIVICS AND ACCORDS WITH MODELS IN THE EARLY 2000S. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND AFTER A WEEK OF REVIEW THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD DISCOUNT $700 OFF OF A NEW TRANSMISSION...SO I'M STILL OUT $2,500. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC IN 2004 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT HAD ABOUT 55,000 MILES. IT NOW HAS 95,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT. IT WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE STREET NEEDING A TOW TO GET HOME. THE FIRST ESTIMATE FOR A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS $2700. I MAY END UP SELLING THE CAR AT A REDUCED PRICE JUST TO TRY AND GET RID OF IT. THE CAR WAS REGULARLY SERVICED AND DRIVEN RELATIVELY LOW MILES, AS I LIVE ONLY 5 MILES FROM MY PLACE OF WORK. UNTIL THIS PROBLEM, I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. *TR

Power train, Air bags, Dec 16, 2008
OUR HONDA CIVIC 2002 ALSO IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS, IN THAT THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AND FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON (ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC). THE MECHANIC RESET THE LIGHT, BUT IT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 2 WEEKS. I WOULDN'T CARE IF THERE TRULY ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG, LIKE THE MECHANIC STATES, HOWEVER, IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO PASS STATE INSPECTION, IT CAN NOT BE ON. THUS, IT WILL BE COSTLY FOR ME TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHICH ALREADY HAS CHARGED AN ARM AND A LEG FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS. I WAS THE ONE THAT PUSHED MY HUSBAND BUY A HONDA FOR THE RELIABILITY FACTOR, BUT BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW THE SRS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, IT'S LOOKING LIKE MY HUSBANDS 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE IS FAIRING BETTER IN REPAIRS THAN MY HONDA?? SAD!!!!! VERY SAD!!!*TR

I BOUGHT A 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX IN 2002. THE CAR ALWAYS SORT OF JUMPED WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGED GEARS. I DID TELL THE SERVICE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS AT THE FIRST FEW REQUIRED SERVICES. THEY MADE OFF LIKE IT WAS JUST NORMAL SO I DROPPED COMPLAINING. THE CAR NOW HAS 130K MILES AND 4 DAYS AGO THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. I FOUND THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FROM A NUMBER OF ISSUES FROM YOUR SITE. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MGR AT LEITH HONDA IN RALEIGH WHERE MY CAR WAS TOWED. HE EMPHATICALLY STATES THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE ISSUE WITH THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSIONS. MY CAR WAS SERVICED AS REQUIRED IN FACT SINCE I USE SYNTHETIC OIL MORE THAN REQUIRED. I HAS BEEN TAKEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIPS FOR BIG MILE CHECK UPS OR OTHER REPUTABLE SERVICE PLACES FOR NORMAL OIL CHANGES. I HAVE HAD 3 OTHER HONDA CARS OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS AND THEY ALL GOT WAY OVER 130K MILES BEFORE I TRADED OR SOLD THEM AND NONE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPLIANCE BUSHINGS IN THE FRONT. THIS IS VERY EARLY FOR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE. *TR

2002 HONDA CIVIC LX COUPE - TRANSMISSION NOISE BETWEEN 10-40 MPH. AS TRANSMISSION WOULD CHANGE GEARS, NOISE WOULD REDUCE. NOISE WOULD GET WORSE AS CAR ACCELERATED. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MODEL/MAKE - HONDA WILL NOT RECALL OR REPAIR. *TR

TRANSMISSION. IT MAKES NO SENSE HOW A TRANSMISSION ON A 2002 HONDA CIVIC GOES UP. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND IT'S IN GREAT SHAPE. I HAVE READ SO MUCH ON THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT THE HONDAS' HAVE AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. IT'S AN EXPENSE AND THEY WON'T RECALL BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WELL IT IS BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION DIED. THE CAR LEFT ME STRANDED. I NEVER GOT A WARNING STATING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY TO BE REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS. NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR. *TR

2002 HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS CAR NOT MOVABLE. SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT UNDER 2002 HONDA CIVIC AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE. *TR

I STARTED TO FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING LITTLE BY LITTLE AND IT JUST GOT WORST FROM THERE TO THE POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION JUST GAVE WAY. IT JUST REVS AND DOES NOT SHIFT INTO GEARS IT WILL BE MORE OR LESS THAN ABOUT $1,500 TO 2,000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WISH THEY COULD HAD MADE A RECALL ABOUT THIS ON MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX. *TR
