The car is a 2001 Honda Civic lx with 48,000 miles. I was driving on the freeway at rush hour when the automatic transmission suddenly slipped out of gear, stopped shifting, a yellow warning light went on the dash after the transmission slipped and the car lost power. The warning light was misleading and inaccurate in its assessment. The dealer service center informed me that there was an internal clutch failure in the transmission. The transmission had an internal failure and that it needed to be replaced. But they then said they had never heard of this problem and that it must be only my car that has this problem. I have since found out that it is very common on this make, model, and year.
