Check Engine Light On problems of the 2001 Honda Civic

The check engine light came on while we were on the highway. After checking the code and the fluids we continued driving with no issues. The code did not say anything about the transmission going out. After 15 miles the cars transmission gave out with no warning leaving us stranded in a town with no Honda dealership.

Tl-the contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds she noticed the engine light illuminate and then the vehicle suddenly lost power and then stalled. The contact was able to continue driving, but the vehicle suddenly stalled again when she arrived in a parking lot. The vehicle was inspected by a independent mechanic and they advised her that they would recharge the battery, but that may not be the failure. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic the next day and it stalled 3 times on the way there. On the 3rd stall it was unable to be driven and was then towed to a dealer. They advised her that the tddc cylinder code had stalled for the cam shaft cylinder sensor. The vehicle was repaired for the cam shaft sensor. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. Tb.

Transmission failed while driving on highway at 60mph. Car would not shift into gear and check engine light signaled. There were no warnings whatsoever. This appears to be correlated to many others complaints with the 2001 Honda Civics. I was fortunate to not have been seriously hurt when my car came to a stop. I feel as though this is a defect that needs to be recalled.

I own a 2001 Honda Civic lx sedan. The car has about 81000 miles on it. On may 2nd 2009, the car just stopped in the middle of the road and the check engine light came on. I towed it to the nearest auto shop. The diagnostic test revealed the codes to be p0740 and p0730, which I am told, indicate a broken torque converter and a faulty transmission. I then took the car to Honda in mission valley, san diego. The service technician recommended replacing the transmission unit. When I enquired the reasons for this, the technicians only response was badluck. He quoted the price for the replacement as $2600. On may 4th, I opened a case with american Honda, mainly because the car has only 81k miles on it, is not very old and I have records for all the recommended services for the car. Above all, a car just stopping in the middle of the road without any sort of warning is a major safety hazard. Given the circumstances, I am grateful that no one was injured due to the mechanical malfunction. The next day, a case manager from Honda, mr. Sergio suarez, contacted me. We spoke for close to an hour, without being able to reach any mutually favorable resolution. While I appreciate mr. Suarezs polite demeanor, he was ultimately indifferent about analyzing my case. Mr. Suarez did not even request to see the service records for the vehicle. It seemed to me like he had already made his conclusions before talking to me and never intended to address my concerns. Mr. Suarez, in fact, at the end of the call notified me that I am not a customer of Honda and that Honda has no obligations towards my vehicle or me.
