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!.

On June 2, 2018, I was pulling into my space at my apartment with my friend in the passenger seat. The car suddenly and uxpectantly acceralted and jumped the curb and hit a tree which stopped the car. The airbags did not employ. Both of us were sore for the next few days but no major injuries.

Tl- the contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. The contact stated while reversing at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated with out warning and crashed into another vehicle. There was no police report filed. There were no injuries reported. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to get diagnosed or repaired. The contact had not notified the manufacturer of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 135,000. Ml.

Total transmission failure! while I was stopped at a traffic light it felt like the car would not get in gear. I would press on the gas and the engine would rev up but I was not moving. I was able to let it coast to a side street to get out of traffic. This could have been really ugly if I was on the highway or on a busier street. I had to get it towed to the nearest service station. Apparently the oil pump and torque converter failed which basically caused the rest of the transmission to burn up. I had to do a complete new transmission rebuild. I know my Honda has a few miles but 104k seems too early for a transmission failure.

Car was driving normally, all of a sudden couldn't make it up a hill, speed wouldn't go past 20mph. Transmission problems.

I was driving home, back country roads, when suddenly my vehicle revved up to over 5000rpm while making a very slow turn. I brake, it stopped revving up, but when I started again it shuddered and then completely stopped moving. I could not go in any gear, I tried waiting a while, car runs fine but won't move. Sat by the side of the road waiting for a tow, have now been told the transmission failed and needs replaced. Of course, this will cost almost the value of the care, but that's not my main concern. While this did not cause me physical harm, I was planning on leaving for baltimore within the hour. Had this car waited 50 more miles to give out I would have been traveling at a high rate of speed on 695s along with many other Friday night commuters and could have easily caused a major accident and who knows how many people could have been killed, myself included? this car simply stopped moving within 1 minute - no lights on the dash, no prior notice of anything wrong. I keep this car maintained per the manual and was planning on keeping it for several more years. I have now found that this has been a well known issue for Honda for many years and still nothing is being done. There are so many complaints by so many consumers I can hardly believe there has not been a recall on this. How many does it take? how many will need to die in accidents caused by this before something is done?.

I am the single owner of the car and been meticulous with maintenance. Then suddenly over the thanksgiving weekend as I stepped on the gas, the car revved up but did not move. Fortunately I was just down the street. Now the mechanic is asking for $2200. Question is if I do spend that amount and get a new transmission, what's the guarantee if that one won't fail?.

My name is [xxx] , my husband is [xxx] and were purchased a care from jack matia in 2006 for the Honda Civic 2001, on July the 4th my daughters took the car to put gas in it when they pulled out into traffic te car stopped and would only go in reverse, after calling not only the dealership and the Honda headquaters I've only been told that it isn't covered under the warranty, but this isn't a warrant issues the reason behind it not being on a recall list is because Honda doesn't think this is a safety issue. My daughter hasd just came off the highway I'm only grateful that it didn't die on them then after having a mechanic check the car out we found out it was the transmission had died. My daughter said no lights (engine or otherwise) had came on that's why she didin't know what happened. They because my VIN # wasn't on the recall list they couldn't do anything about it, that iwas stuck with the cost repair, it may not be a recall but it is a known issue. So now I am making payments on a lemon that was sold to even with the awareness that this was an issue. And I pretty sure there was a lemon law broekn some where, not to mention the risk this put my family at while driving this car . We do alot of highway driving due to my job. No one wants to take responsibilty but someone definitely should forthe risk they put my family and other drivers on the road at. Are we going to wait til we are dealing with a situation like we just did with Toyota????? I certainly hope not. I've put over 5,000. 00 dollars in payments that's not countng repairs into this car and this is a slap in the face for a consumer who works and has always worked hard for her living. I know I'll never buy another Honda, too afraid especailly after what my daughters experienced. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. The contact attempted to brake from unknown speeds but to no avail. The brakes would not engage and the vehicle proceeded through the traffic stop, crashing into the side of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. The vehicle was not repaired however, the air bags were previously serviced under NHTSA campaign id number: 09v259000 (air bags). The failure and current mileages were 76,300.

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.

From a dead stop the car uncontrollably accelerated. The foot brake would not slow the vehicle. Somehow the car wound up doing a 180 on the road and slammed into a snow bank. I was able to jam the transmission into park and slow the car with the hand brake.
