My son was driving and in the middle of a 5 way intersection car would not shift into gear. My car is a manual transmission car made lound rubbing noise. Car was towed to Honda dealer. I was told in was a complete transmission failor and need a new transmission and clutch. I contacted Honda warrenties I baught the car as a certified used Honda. It had 100000 mi warrenty which I was past. Honda advise it was 3900. 00 if fix and agreed to pay 1300. In reading all the complaints about the 2007 year I feel they should have paid more. Since owning the car I have received notices from Honda about engine leakage problem and that engine is covered for 10years, also rear control arms, and I just received in mail a class action law suite about premature break ware. At around 70000 I had to replace motor mounts that was covered by my extended warrenty. I also had to replace the rear drum brakes at 90000. I have always driven a manual transmission car I have never had to replace a clutch every and keep most cars for over 150000 mi. And drum brakes should never have gone at 90000. I have to say very dissapointed with Honda and from reading other complaints on your site there is problem with transmissions on this year.
3rd gear failure in transmission. Gear blew out the bottom and top casing of the transmission and destroyed the entire thing. Had to have it completely rebuilt (almost $3000). This was determined to be a mechanical failure. Prior to this, I noticed the 3rd gear was sticking/failing to shift properly and had the transmission checked and flushed. This only appeared to have masked the issue. After driving for about 30 minutes, there was a loud noise and the speedometer jumped to 0. The car wouldn't move, had to be towed (additional $100) and the repair had to be made. For anyone with 3rd gear issues - please have this checked ASAP and prevent yourself the extreme expense I had! it appears as if, after searching online, several people are having this issue. . .
2007 Honda Civic si (5,000 miles on car). The six speed manual transmission has a problem when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. It sometimes will not go into gear or will pop out of 3rd. This creates a very serious safety issue as you may not be able to avoid an oncoming car. The Honda dealership keeps saying that they are not aware of the problem. Look on the internet and you will have hundreds of complaints of the very same thing on this model car.
Manual transmission will not go into third gear. Grinding noise when clutch is released.
Since day of purchase noticed third gear popping. Thought being new car could not be a problem. It is now 6 months later. Called service at Honda dealership. Questioned warranty and explained issues with car, such as clutch slipping, seems sync rolls are going. Dealership claims it is driver. Called America Honda corp. They admit transmission fix will be coming out in 2008, but only certain VIN#'s are covered. I am not understanding this since it has been a problem even in other year and makes with same issues! these same complaints are all over internet!cost has been estimated at $1200! even with extended warranty coverage purchased.
