Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2001 Honda Civic

Car stopped suddenly, would not engage into gear. No warning of problems, car is regularly serviced, one owner. Transmission failed and will have to be replaced.

Transmission failed while vehicle was on highway. Vehicle would not engage gears and therefore could not accelerate. Had to pull off to side of highway and get vehicle towed. Again, this was a transmission failure.

My husband was driving the car, tried to turned left, and the car suddenly would not engage in any gear. The car could not be driven further, was towed to a repair shop, and the transmission was replaced.

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 was driving to chicago for a wedding. Went to pass another vehicle on I-55 and when I pushed on the gas pedal the engine revved but the transmission did not catch. Let off the gas and it eventually reengaged. Continued driving and it went downhill from there to the point where the engine was working fine but the transmission would not engage in any gear. Managed to get the car to my destination, but could very easily been stranded in 0 degree weather. Had the car towed and it looks like I need a new transmission. The current mileage of my car is 140k. Went online and discovered that there are hundreds if not thousands of folks who have had the same problem. Honda it seems is aware of the problem but no recall has been issued.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic that I keep very maintained never had a problem with this car before and I was driving on a highway when got off the exit I was at the stop sign when I tried to take off from the vehicle would not move. . . Would not shift gears. . . Completely stalled. . . I got it towed to a shop nearby and the mechanic told me that this is happening to all 2001 Hondas Civic in between 70,000 and 125,000 miles. . . My car only has 114,000 miles. . . . Called Honda and they are not willing to help. . . . I need help!!!! and on this web site alone there is 142 complaints about the same problem. . . Honda should be responsible for this. . . . On the internet I found almost 440 complaints about the same problem same year same descriptions of problem. .

Late April/early may of 2008, I noticed that my 2001 Civic was not shifting gears properly. When I tried to accelerate out of a parking lot into traffic, the car's engine was revving up, but I did not gain speed, therefore almost causing a major accident because I could not accelerate to the speed of traffic. The mileage on the car was around 75,000 at that time. Almost a year after paying for the replacement transmission, I have noticed that there are a lot of people with the same issue. I've tried talking to Honda about it, but they refused to accept that their transmissions are faulty. The more I try talking to them, the more excuses they bring up to not compensate for the replaced transmission.

Car slipping out of gear or not going into gear. Motor revving but the car would not move and then all of a sudden catch and jump forward. Put car into reverse and motor revs when given gas but not moving. Had to put car back in park and then reverse again. Took car to dealer and was shocked to find out the transmission had to be replaced. Dealer initially said it would be $2,700. 00 then called back and said they would do it for $1,200. 00. After seeing many complaints about the same thing I contacted american Honda and was told I was getting a great deal for $1,200. 00. I do not feel that a Honda I purchased new in 2001 with 69,000 miles on it should have a total transmission failure and then be told it is not Honda's responsibility.
