Vehicle Shudder problems of the 2008 Honda Civic

Transmission has to be completely rebuilt after 105000 miles approximately; mechanic told me he could estimate how much longer I have if it was something that he saw more often, but this isn't something he sees often. The vehicle would run heavy, and I was told an engine mount was bad and was subsequently replaced under warranty. There is still a tendency for the car to vibrate and shake as I drive between 17-30 mph, and attribute this to the issue of the transmission. The vehicle also does not shift well, and clicks on certain shifting points. Dealership stated the car is outside of the powertrain warranty, even though this issues started prior to the end of that warranty.

Car started at usual time around 8 am and started vibrating. A very loud exhaust noise started to begin and the car began shaking. The vibrating noise was so loud and everyone in the car could feel the vibration. The front steering wheel as well as the seats were also shaking. Vibrating continued throughout the day and was gone at times when this first began but as days went by it became louder and more obvious by others outside of the car. The car now continues to vibrate not only in the morning but at all times of the day. It shakes at park, drive, and reverse. Car is very uncomfortable to drive and the noise can become very distracting. The car also vibrates so much during these times that I am afraid that something will happen on the highway and am worried about this. Honda dealer will not cover this under power train warranty because the car is now passed the warranty for power train which is 5 year/60,000 miles. Please look into this matter. It seems very common as I researched online and many people are having this issue on their Honda's which most seem after the 2005 models, more common around 2007 + 2008 models.

Our standard 2008 Civic ex (bought June 2008) started to have variable vibration/shuttering issues from idle/stop to 1st and 2nd gear around 28,000 miles (new Civic, we are the only owners, no accidents). The shuttering stopped after the car was in higher gears. This vibration issue worsened and we could not safely accelerate the vehicle when shifting from an idle position into 1st gear - due to extreme vibrations, which became more frequent. We took the vehicle to the dealership around 35000 miles on November 17, 2010, to determine/correct the shuttering/vibration issues. The dealership indicated they could not replicate the issue and returned the vehicle. The shuttering/vibration continued and we decided to replace all of our tires at our cost around 40,000 miles to see if this would correct the issue. The vibration/shuttering continued at variable times. At 41,000 miles, the vibration/shuttering became impactful and we could not safely accelerate from an idle position without the car shaking/not engaging effectively. We took the car into the dealer again on February 3, 2011 and the technician replicated the issue with us in the car. They indicated they looked at the vehicle motor mounts and "looked" at the clutch (not inspected). They said nothing was wrong with it and it was due to the way we drove the vehicle, even though their technician replicated the issue. They said Honda does not have any recommendations for this issue via the phone technical line. We did not take the car back due to safety concerns and it is still at the dealership. We do not feel safe driving the vehicle, as it will not engage/accelerate properly without shuttering when shifting from idle into 1st and 2nd gear.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Civic hybrid. While accelerating from a stop, the vehicle began to shake until it reached at least 20 mph. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current mileage was 730 and failure mileage was 600. Updated 05/19/08 the consumer stated the shake feels as though the clutch is being released too fast, however the vehicle has an automatic transmission. Updated.
