I have a 2000 Honda Civic dx. My transmission gave me no warning it was about to go out. I bought it brand new with only 10 miles on it. It now has 116,000 miles on it. I kept up with the maintenance. While I was driving on top of a bridge the check engine light came on. Then about 5 miles down the road I stopped at a red light. When it turned green my transmission started slipping. I coasted to the entrance of a gas station. I was blocking traffic. I turned the car off. I waited 2 minutes turned the car back on. It went for about a mile then it started slipping again. I had it towed home. It's been parked ever since. I been having to find a ride to work and to do errands. I been told that it is out of warranty. That the costs would be over $2500.
2000 Honda Civic lx automatic transmission failure. The transmission started to shift hard on my 2000 Honda Civic lx which has 73,000 miles on it. Then the gears started slipping and delaying, so I took it in to have it looked at (local transmission shop). The transmission is failing and has to be replaced. We just had the transmission replaced in our other Honda (1997 Honda accord with 150,000 miles) last week, and this problem was a huge shock to us. We are replacing two Honda transmissions within a two week period!!! I think that it is ridiculous that a 2000 Honda Civic with less than 73,500 miles on it has to be replaced. Transmission failure is a serious safety hazard. Our other Honda transmission went out while we were on the interstate, and we were almost hit by another car because our car slowed down so rapidly. For now, the 2000 Honda Civic lx will be sitting in the driveway until we have saved up for another transmission replacement.
