Purchased a 2003 Honda certified Civic lx on January 28, 2006 from heritage Honda of towson, 9213 harford road, baltimore, MD 21234. Took vehicle in for 50,000 mile service and asked service manager about automatic transmission slipping while in "drive" on an incline, causing vehicle to roll backwards. He informed me that he had a similar vehicle which also did this, that other customers had complained to him of the same condition, and that there was nothing that could be done about it. My complaint is that: the automatic transmission will not hold the vehicle on an incline when in the "drive" position. Driver must engage the "park" position to hold the vehicle, or put the vehicle in "neutral" and engage the parking brake. Leaving the vehicle transmission in "drive" while on a hill results in slippage (this vehicle rolls backwards while in "drive", as if in "neutral"), which presents danger of impact to the driver of this vehicle and to those drivers behind them. I strongly believe that this condition of transmission and vehicle slippage when the automatic transmission is in the "drive" position, while on an incline, constitutes a serious safety hazard to drivers of this vehicle and to other drivers directly behind it. I seek to have the transmission problem corrected, if possible. If not, I would attempt to have the manufacturer buy back the vehicle as a lemon, or to get the vehicle recalled. Please advise.
