I OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC SI (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 TIMES I SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR IT GRINDS AND DOES NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. IN 4000 MILES IT HAS ALSO FALLEN OUT OF GEAR TWICE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SLOW AND I WILL BE DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS QUITE UNEXPECTED ON A CAR WITH 10,000 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THIS WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CLUTCH WEAR CAUSED BY "DRIVING THE CAR TOO HARD". I DRIVE ABOUT 50 MILES A WEEK IN DC METRO AREA TRAFFIC SO THIS IS HARDLY THE CASE. MOST OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AND TRANSMISSION ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REMEDY IT. IT IS WIDELY COVERED ON MOST 2006+ HONDA CIVIC WEB FORUMS AND RECENTLY HAS RECEIVED SOME NEWS COVERAGE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9EK_-3TFD2E. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC SI (5,000 MILES ON CAR). THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION HAS A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR OR WILL POP OUT OF 3RD. THIS CREATES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID AN ONCOMING CAR. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP KEEPS SAYING THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE VERY SAME THING ON THIS MODEL CAR. *TR

2007 HONDA CIVIC SI, COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS 3RD GEAR ENGAGEMENT. AT TIMES ITS ENGAGEMENT MAY VARY FROM BEING TIGHT TO GRINDING AND MAY EVEN DISENGAGE OR (POP OUT OF GEAR). THIS MAY LEAD TO A MOMENTARY LAPSE IN CONCENTRATION AND AT TIMES A SOMEWHAT LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES DRIVEABILITY WHEN THIS OCCURS ABRUPTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. IF THIS EVENT OCCURS AT AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME WHEN DRIVING, IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO ACCIDENT'S CAUSING INJURY. *CN

I OWN A STANDARD TRANSMISSION 2007 CIVIC SI. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST GEAR AND STARTED MOVING. I THEN TRIED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND AT APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM. I HAD THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED BUT COULD NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND GEAR. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND TRIED AGAIN TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. SECOND GEAR FINALLY ENGAGED BUT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THIS SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER. I WAS FOCUSED ON TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND COULD NOT FOCUS ON THE ROAD. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG.*CN

2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH 65,000 MILES HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT/REPAIR ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS; EACH TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BEFORE ENGAGING FULLY IN DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAP FORWARD WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS REPAIRED OR REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 3 TIMES, STATING THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ON CERTAIN MODELS OF HONDA FOR 2001. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RECURRED AT 65,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER IS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECT WHICH REPEATEDLY MANIFESTS ITSELF OVER THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS FULLY AWARE THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENT ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT. HOW LONG WILL NHTSA ALLOW THE MANUFACTURER TO IGNORE A SERIOUS DEFECT AND LET A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION CONTINUE? JUDGING FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE, THE PROBLEM IS FOUND ON A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF 2001 HONDAS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDE A REDESIGNED TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE THESE VEHICLES WILL BECOME MORE DANGEROUS AS THEY AGE. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, AND THEY SAY THEY CANT MAKE MY CAR DO THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE IT.

MANY TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLDER, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL POP OUT OF THIRD GEAR/GRIND/OR WILL NOT EVEN ENGAGE IN THIRD. THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR WHEN TURNING A CORNER BECAUSE IT CAUSES A QUICK DECELERATION AND THE PERSON BEHIND YOU CAN'T ANTICIPATE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO BRAKING INVOLVED. NOT TO MENTION, AFTER THIS OCCURS, THE ENGINE REVS DUE TO THE MISSED GEAR, AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY SHIFT INTO SECOND OR FOURTH GEAR TO GET GOING ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS A HIGH RATE PROBLEM AND CAN BE PROVEN WITH A SIMPLE WWW SEARCH- IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND EVEN HAS BEEN REPORTED BY EDMUNDS.COM. SOME PEOPLE SAY THEIR DEALER IS REPLACING THE TRANS FLUID AS A FIX AND IT HELPS, OTHERS ARE DOING IT AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE BECAUSE THEIR DEALER REFUSES TO ASSIST.
