general problems of the 2001 Honda Civic

I am going down the road at 65mph and car loses all power, compression, speed. . . Starts shuttering, stuttering & shaking the car then it dies. . . It doesn't matter the conditions, whether I'm in city or on road. . . It does it anywhere and unexpectedly, never know when it's going to do it but it's dangerous it's not just once, it's every time I drive the car! not just once but several times!.

The car smoke after sitting for a few minutes.

The transmission slips I don't know why but my car just has 103 000 miles and I don't think that should start happening.

Vehicle manufacturer's fuel hose clamp recall ( #01v182000 ) was inadequately repaired by technicians of a vehicle repair company conducting initial safety inspection of vehicle, prior to registration of vehicle, and there is no known provision requiring a review of any alleged repairs by that vehicle repair company in accords with the recall itself, whereas a strong odor of fuel continuously fills passenger compartment through air vents when travelling in vehicle, and vehicle repair company refuses to review work of technicians in the interest of safety of vehicle's passengers and other innocent persons in accords with basis for manufacturer's issuance of recall. Vehicle is only workable means of transportation, and continuous odor of fuel affects passengers personally and substantially, based on there existing no known provision requiring review of work of technicians. Employees of vehicle manufacturer was contacted by phone, and they revealed that there are no known policies or provisions requiring review of technician attempts to repair fuel hose clamp recall upon allegations of strong odor of fuel clouding passenger compartment when vehicle in operation; employees of vehicle manufacturer appear to cover up allegations of inadequate repair of fuel hose clamp recall by reviewing technicians, thus providing for potentially dangerous vehicle (reeking of odor of fuel) to operate on public roadways.

The drivers and passengers airbags did not deploy during a frontal impact crash involving a Honda Civic and GMC yukon truck. My vehicle the Honda Civic was heading on a two-lane street at approximately 35 to 40 miles per hour before impact into a stopped truck making a left turn across oncoming traffic while Honda was in motion the brakes were applied. Cause is unknown at this time on why the airbags did not deploy. All recalls have been complied with for the 2001 Honda Civic. Recall 13v-132: recall 14v-351 completed. Number of open recalls are zero at this time.

Unintended acceleration. Engine rev went to 3000 rpm while stopped at a traffic light. Kept car stationary by pressing hard on the break. First and only occurrence; also almost the first and only day the car was driven with cruise control operational.

We got into a head on collision with a SUV receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (SUV). There were two recalls for our Honda Civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our Honda Civic was serviced and and the "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to anyone else.

I was traveling in neighborhood streets (30 mph speed limit), and without warning, the car's automatic transmission slipped out of gear and would not engage the engine again. Pressing on the gas pedal would only result in revving the engine, much like in neutral setting. The major key problem here is the transmission failed without any prior signs of distress, failure, warning and etc. I was lucky in that I was traveling on neighborhood streets and could easily pull over to the curb; this would have been a major issue for me and others traveling on the highway at 80 mph in the middle of the highway. . .

Upon entering expressway, going to change lanes - transmission totally failed. Nothing but engine reving when pushing on accelerator. No warning lights, nothing. Almost got killed due to truck having to stop as we coasted off highway. Upon having vehicle towed to dealer (Honda lisle) and going on line I find that this is a very common occurrence for this vehicle and model year. Why has there not been a recall notice on this. This is truly a danger to the drivers of this vehicle. There are thousands of similar experiences posted online.

The right wheel began shaking making it difficult to drive. I took it to a mechanic who said the motor mounts had weakened and the motor was sitting on the axles. Has there been a recall on the motor mounts at any time?.

Driving on high way and car just stopped and almost got hit from several vehicle behind me ! due to transmission failure.

I was yet another unfortunate victim of Honda's cheap transmission and I say cheap in that it doesn't work properly not that it is cheap to get it repaired. No that is over $2000 according to my local Honda dealership. After taking such good care of my car diligently taking it in for oil changes and tune ups at Honda's recommended mileage; I am severely disappointed. I had just pulled up to a busy stop light, when the light turned green I hit the gas and my car moved forward like usual, but suddenly right as I past the intersection the car's transmission started slipping and then just died. I shut the car off, started it back up and some how after a few minutes managed to get the transmission to hold just enough to pull it into a turn off. I had numerous people honking and yelling at me to get off the road. Honda if you're listening, I won't be buying another vehicle from you. Nhtsa if you're listening please I implore you to do an investigation this could very likely cause someone to get hurt or killed.

I went to Honda dealer to change an air filter for my wife Honda Civic 2001. Then I found out the air cleaner case cracked. So, I went back to Honda dealer and told the services manager. The services manager knew what causes the air cleaner case to crack because on September 16, 2003, Honda issued a service bulletin 03-061. Since, Honda know what causes the air cleaner case to crack, Honda should recall all air cleaner case for model 2001 Civic to avoid injure in the near future.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. While the contact was driving approximately 70 mph the vehicle jerked with a sudden reduction in the speed. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The engine was turned off and restarted after waiting for the vehicle to cool down. The failure occurred in warm weather temperatures. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the ignition and two rallies were replaced. The identical failures occurred five years later. The contact stated that the manufacturer should be responsible the repair cost. The failure mileage was 96,000.

Vehicle was stuck in full throttle while driving on the highway. When this occurred the brake pedal was depressed but failed to stop or slow the vehicle down. As a result, consumer hit three motorists but vehicle continued to accelerate. The emergency brake was engaged and vehicle was put in park gear to stop. The problem was due to a pebble entering the air intake valve.

Consumer stated that while driving and without warning the smoke started to come from the steering wheel. Dealer notified.

A/c doesn't get cold, can't get Honda to fix as been this way since new. Brakes went bad with about 15000 miles on them. Were bad before that, still does not stop right, and has a vibraton when stopping transmission has a thumping like noise some times while idling. Had to replace strut on passanager side, couldn't get Honda to pay for all of it. I think one on driver side is bad also. Service manager told me this was a problem with the Honda Civic.
