While driving down the road at only 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly revved and then stopped moving. We were in the middle of a crowded road, and there was no prior warning (engine light, etc. ). Luckily, we were able to pull off the road without getting hit, but it was a very dangerous situation. After researching, I learned that there are a large number of complaints about the 2001 Civic's transmission, and even with replacement, the problem persists. The faulty transmission is dangerous, and Honda needs to do something about it.
The exhaust manifold is cracked, causing dangerous fumes to enter the cabin of the car. The fumes are most noticeable when driving at low speeds, and they are enough to cause a strong headache/light-headedness which could potentially cause an accident. There are hundreds of complaints filed on the internet for this exact model/year Honda.
I was driving and my car stopped accelerating. I turned it off and tried again. I could not move forward or backwards. I had it towed over 30 miles. After a shop looked at it they said it needs a new transmission, or a used just not the one I have in there now because it obviously doesn't work. Honda Civics in 2001 have a 20 percent transmission failure rate. That is much too high for any vehicle.
On may 6, 2011 car would rev up a little after taking off from a red light as if it was having difficulty shifting to 2nd to 3rd gear. By the 3rd red light the car would hardly move and I was trying to get off to the side of the road with the car just rolling. I managed to roll it off the road but cars in back of me were beeping their horns and cars had to slow down so that I could pull into a parking lot. Very scary. 3 weeks prior to this I had my car serviced at crown Honda dealership. They, as a scheduled maintenance had timing belt, water pump, belts, oil change and 4 tires replaced for $1,300. Honda dealership says that the problem is transmission and had nothing to do with the prior work, which is under warranty. Towed car to another service station and they said the transmission burned out and also needs a torque converter. I heard this was a problem with 2001 Honda Civics. This was a dangerous situation but was it caused by the prior work or a defective torque converter or transmission?.

2001 Honda Civic -- a/c has died. It worked on and off for a couple of weeks, was told it was the compressor ($1400 job). . . Then it just stopped all together. Almost 4 yr old car, very well maintained - absolutely absurd that the a/c should barely last 4 yrs. Have written to Honda USA, waiting for a reply.
There is a whistling noise coming from, I believe, the front end of the vehicle. I first heard the noise while driving the car home from the dealer on may 5, 2001. Has been to vandergriff Honda 3 separate times. The first time they replaced the windshield. The second time they said they could never hear the noise so couldn't do anything. The third time they had the car for 3 days and still did nothing except said they thought the noise was coming from the back brakes. So they fixed them. There was nothing wrong with the brakes. Two weeks ago took it back to the dealer purchased from. He rode in the car with me for at least 50 miles. Never heard the noise. I left the car. They kept the car for 15 days and did nothing. According to the service report and the service advisor they reproduced the noise, but could not find out where it was coming from. The copy of the service report that I received when I picked up the car, shows 9 hours time spent on vehicle - driving, taping, etc. Not a lot of time spent on it in 15 days. I contacted american Honda caseworker again today. When I picked up the car yesterday, as soon as I got on the highway the noise started. After 10 minutes of continual whistling I called back the service advisor I had just left and he heard the noise. My daughter and granddaughter were also in the car with me. The noise continued all the way home. The dealer is 1 hour from my home. That is the only reason that I did not take it to them before. But when vandergriff couldn't fix it, I wrote a letter to american Honda (9/10/02). Finally got a response back from them the end of October. After which we agreed that I would take it back to the dealer I purchased from. I have asked am. Honda what they are going to do about the problem. The response is nothing. Somehow, someway Honda will make this problem go away.
