Transmission Solenoid problems of the 2001 Honda Civic

I want to file a complaint against Honda for making faulty transmissions in their Honda Civic year 2001. There are many complaints I am reading about people with the same problem I am having which is a p0740 fault reading that says torque clutch converter solenoid open and that clutch will not engage when vehicle reaches a speed of between 40-45 mph which is an unsafe condition and can cause a crash and ultimate transmission failure on the highway. I bought this car used less than five months ago at mossey Nissan in escondido and they have not been very helpful in working with me to get this car fixed. I paid more money on the car than I should of because of deceptive business practices used to sell me the car by mossey of escondido. Please help!.

Was driving on the freeway when my 2001 Honda Civic jumped gears and shifted to a lower gear the check engine light came on and drastically reduced my speed had to maneuver off the freeway exit out as soon as possible and managed to drive it to a mechanic nearby which said I would have to take it to a dealer to fix it. When I took it to the dealer they told me I would have to wait until the light came back on so driving on the freeway it happened again this time took it to the dealer and received the code po740. Doing research online I found out this was common in Civics and some accords and that 2001 was the worst. Honda has been using faulty transmission and solenoid parts and has caused problems for many owner that seems to cause problems and not allowing to shift into third gear and allows it to redline. Indeed no problem occurs when not driving to shift into third gear at about 3500 rpm but this causes a problem when the need to accelerate quickly or driving uphill is required, luckily I was able and traffic on the freeway wasn't heavy when this occurred that allowed me to exit quickly but if this had caused me to shift down it would've been dangerous and caused a hazard to me and other drivers. Please look into this as no recall has yet to be made even though the multitude of people with this problem.

I have bought Honda Civic 2001 in Jan 2001 from goodson Honda, houston, TX. After one year I moved to the canada and informed the company. They acknowledge the receipt of my move letter. All the repairs have been done by dealers so far in us and canada. Here in canada company covers all Civics for up to 60000 km for transmission. In January 06 after oil change and air filter replacement my car started making strange noise at startup, I took it to the dealership who said its a transmission problem. I took to the transmission shop who said there is nothing wrong. Since american Honda claimed and instructed customers not to change transmission oil until 80000 miles, I never thought about transmission problem at that less mileage. But recently my rarely driven car with 45309 mileage broke down. As it was evident that engine was running but car refused to move, I towed to the transmission shop. . Read more...

While shifting the gear in reverse the car went forward, and when I shifted it to drive, the car went backward. When I stepped on the gas pedal lightly, it accelerated really fast and when I lightly step on the brake, it abruptly stops. The Honda service department is trying to fix this car. The first problem reported was the "power switch" secondly they reported that it's a "transmission" but still couldn't figure out if what else is the problem. Lastly, they notified me on April 19, 2001 that the problem is the "transmission solenoid. ".
