Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Civic vehicles manufactured January 16, 2014, to November 6, 2014 and 2015 Fit vehicles manufactured March 12, 2014, to May 12, 2015. The software settings that control the transmission operation may result in damage to the transmission drive pulley shaft.
If the transmission drive pulley shaft is damaged, it may break, and the vehicle may lose acceleration or the front wheels may lock up while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the transmission, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 30, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are JU2 (Civic) and JU3(Fit).

WHILE DRIVING THIS CIVIC AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, IT SUDDENLY STARTED SURGING AND DECELERATING. ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. HAD TO CUT OFF TRAFFIC TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY CALLED A DAY LATER AND SAID: "THE DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT NO GOOD. NEED NEW TRANSMISSION, WANT TO REPLACE?" I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THE RECALL FOR MANY HONDAS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IN DISCUSSING THIS WITH THE DEALER, THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST SINCE ITS NOT A RECALL CAR. I GET IT BUT: ITS THE SAME PART! FURTHER, THE CAR IS MANAGED BY A 'MAINTENANCE REMINDER'. IT TELLS YOU WHEN TO CHANGE FLUIDS/PERFORM MAINTENANCE BASED ON DRIVING HABITS. NOT ONCE DID THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT LIGHT UP. THE DEALER SAID ITS OUR FAULT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T COMPLETE A SERVICE AT 30K INTERVALS. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. WHO HAS 7K FOR A TRANSMISSION ON A 15K CAR??? *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-84 HOME FROM COLLEGE AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD CLICK SOUND, AT WHICH POINT I LOST ALL DRIVE. THE CAR BEGAN DECELERATING AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER WHILE CARS AROUND ME WERE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. THE CAR ENGINE RUNS FINE, BUT DOES NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY TO GET THE CAR TOWED 80 MILES TO MY HOME, AND NOW MUST ALSO FACE THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION (TOW BILL ATTACHED). MY CAR IS ONLY AT 110K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE FAILING, LET ALONE ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING. THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR HONDA FIT AND CIVIC 2014-2015, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT RECALLED. (CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V574000) THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY, AS IT POSES A SERIOUS CONCERN TO DRIVER SAFETY. I HAVE COUNTED OVER 10 REPORTS OF INCIDENTS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHERE OWNERS LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE LISTED THE NHTSA ID NUMBERS BELOW. I ENCOURAGE OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE TO COME FORWARD TO WE CAN GET THIS RESOLVED. 11311307 11311181 11306809 11298039 11296711 11292563 11290218 11289222 11287571 11278148

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2015 HONDA CIVIC, WHICH NOW HAS 109,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WELL UNTIL RECENTLY MY ACCELERATION IS WHEN TURNING CORNERS IS VERY LOW AND THE TIRES STOP MOVING, I LOOKED UP SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE AND SAW A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, THE ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE TIRES TO STALL AND CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND I FEEL THIS ISNT COINCIDENCE. HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE FIXED. I DRIVE TO WORK EVERY DAY AND I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY CAR MADE A NOISE ALMOST LIKE A FLAPPING SOUND AND SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOWED CAR TO SERVICE STATION. THE CAR STARTED AND RAN - THE CAR WENT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE AND PARK BUT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS SUCH AS LEAKAGE, LIGHTS OR SLIPPING OF TRANSMISSION. JUST COMPLETEL MALFUNCTION ON A HIGHWAY 200 MILES FROM HOME. HAD THE EXPENSE OF TRANSMISSION, CAR RENTAL AND HOTEL. YOU BUY A HONDA FOR RELIABILITY AND NEVER THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON I-77 AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW. I COULD HAVE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT PULLED OFF ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO ASSESSED THE CAR SAID THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THERE IS ONLY 100,364 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD JUST STOP WORKING. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (RECALL) WITH THE 2015 HONDA CIVIC BUT MY VIN ISNT INCLUDED. HONDA KNOWS THEY NEED TO EXTENDED OR OPEN RECALL TO INCLUDE MORE VINS. THIS IS HONDAS MESS UP BUY PUTTING IN A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

MY SON JUST RETURNED BACK TO COLLEGE .. .. SO GRATEFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THEN.. BUT THE NEXT DAY HE WAS DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE .. CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT.. DIDN'T DRIVE 10 FT WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELLERATION AND FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP....SO HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE WHEN IT STARTED TO GO IN REVERSE ON ITS OWN SO HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED FOR A TOW. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEB /2015. THIS HAS BEEN A DEPENDABLE CAR UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 2014/2015 RECALL BUT WASN'T FOR WHATEVER REASON. IT CLEARLY IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL IS CLAIMING. I AM SO GRATEFUL THIS DID NOT CAUSE MY SON TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT... SO FAR FROM HOME.

MY VEHICLE WAS SHOWING NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ISSUES WHEN PURCHASED AT ABOUT 28,000 MILES 11/1/18 UPON MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AT 39,000 MILES IT WAS NOTED THAT THOUGH TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS AT SAFE LEVELS THERE APPEARED TO BE A LEAK AS CONDENSATION WAS NOTICED BY THE THIRD PARTY OIL SERVICE TECHNICIAN. I WAS TOLD TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANY ISSUES. I DROVE MY VEHICLE WITH NO OBVIOUS ISSUES OF DRIVEWAY LEAKS OR SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE INDICATING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE IT ALSO SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMALLY. AT 43,900MILES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THE DRIVE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND MY CAR WAS MAKING A NOISE I NEVER HEARD BEFORE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION AS MY CAR JUST STOPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALL HAPPENED PRETTY QUICKLY AS THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE TRANSMISSION WAS BURNED DUE TO NEGLIGENCE BY THE THIRD PARTY OIL TECHNICIAN REMOVING THE CAP FROM MY VEHICLE AND NOT PUTTING IT BACK. I CAN SAY THAT THE CAP WAS NOT REMOVED AS I WAS IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE ONLY. THE THIRD PARTY COMPANY HAS EXPLAINED THAT THEY ALSO WOULD NOT HAVE REMOVED THE CAP AS TRANSMISSION LEVELS A DIGITALLY CHECKED FOR MY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL. ALSO THIS INCIDENT WAS 8 MONTHS AFTER THEY LAST SERVICED MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE CAP WAS REMOVED FOUND UNHINGED BY THE DEALERSHIP. BELOW ARE PHOTOS PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS TAKING MY MOM TO WORK AT AROUND 4AM. ON MY WAY BACK MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE AROUND AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE RAN FINE, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR REVERSE. MY CAR ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS LEFT ON NEUTRAL. ONCE I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION PRETTY MUCH BLEW OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I HAD A PREVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING. ANYWAYS I GOT A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SHORTLY AFTER (NOVEMBER 2019) I COULD FEEL MY CAR JOLTING IF I CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP OR EVEN ACCELERATED. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BINDING. THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT ONCE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR FEELS SOMEWHAT BETTER, BUT STILL JERKS WITH SOME STOPS. I'VE LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR RECALLS AND NOTHING HAS COME UP, BUT THIS IS MY 3RD ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND USED IT FOR DAILY COMMUTES. ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 97,000-100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE SO I'M UNSURE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE LIKE IT WANTED TO STOP BUT IT WAS STILL MOVING AND THEN IT SHOOK HARD AND THEN THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING AND IT LOST ACCELERATION AND STOPPED IN THE ROAD.

THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN 500 FEET OF WHERE I INITIALLY PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD I WAS TRAVELING ON WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO MALFUNCTION TO THE ROAD WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ONTO TO AVOID THE CRASH AND COULD NOT MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AT ALL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 35 MPH ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TRIED TO PUT THE CAT IN DRIVE AND REVERSE STILL NOTHING. I'M SO GLAD I WASN'T GOING FASTER THAN 35MPH CUZ THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARY IF IT DID THAT WHILE I WAS DOING 65 OR 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I PUT IT MY VIN BUT IT SAYS NO RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. I FOUND A RECALL THAT STATES 2015 TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED. SO WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE BEING FLAGGED FOR THIS
Power train, Oct 28, 2019
THE INTERNAL SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY 2015 HONDA CIVIC WHICH WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AT 61K MILES ON A ROAD TRIP, THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN WE LEFT FOR A ROAD TRIP, ON OUR WAY BACK HOME THIS HAPPENED. HONDA HAS BEEN OF NO HELP TO ME IN THIS SITUATION WITH A CASE MANAGER TELLING ME "THATS NOT MY PROBLEM". I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO EITHER BUY THE CAR BACK AT FAIR MARKET VALUE OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AS I AM ON FEAR OF MY SAFETY.

MY CIVIC HAS 52000 MILES ON IT & HAS ALWAYS RAN PERFECTLY FINE & HAS BEEN MAINTAINANCED PROPERLY SINCE I GOT IT. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY & IT STARTED TO BOG DOWN LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE THEN THE CHECK TRANSMISSION SENSOR CAME ONLY DASH SCREEN & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN PULLED OVER & PUT THE CAR IN PARK & THE DRIVE "D" WAS BLINKING & CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM ALSO POPPED UP ON DASH SCREEN. I THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IN HOPES TO TURN IT AROUND & GET IT BACK TO HOUSE IT ACCELERATED BUT STILL BOGGED WITH PARKING"P" LIT UP. I GOT IT HOME TURNED IT OFF & CALLED TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS. I DROVE IT WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THEN CHECK TRANSMISSION & EMISSION SENSOR ON DASH SCREEN TO SHOP WHEN I GOT THERE IT WAS ROUGH TO PUT IN PARK & COULD HEAR IT SWITCH BETWEEN GEARS WHEN MOVING STICK TO PUT IN PARK WHICH COULD NEVER HEAR BEFORE. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY'RE SAYING IT NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS YEAR, MAKE & MODEL HAS RECALLS FOR THE EXACT ISSUES GOING ON WITH MY CAR. AS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TRAMISSION FAILURE AT 50000 MILES IN A CAR THAT I MAINTAINANCED PROPERLY & DROVE PRETTY MUCH ONLY AROUND MY SMALL TOWN.
