While driving on the highway at 70mph, the engine rpm rapidly increased with no acceleration. The driver was able to cross 4 lanes and get to the shoulder safely. Multiple warning lights came on to include: check engine, check transmission, power steering, hill start, and tpms. The car would not shift gears other than park or neutral. The engine would respond normally when the pedal was pressed but was not engaged by the drive train. The car was towed to a Honda dealer that found the transmission drive pulley had broken requiring a totally new transmission. Nhtsa recall number 15v574000 was referenced but Honda would not accept it for coverage or as a causal issue. Service department members at the dealer admitted that that recalled issue was at fault for what happened to the vehicle. Honda recall still refused that the car was not affected by the issue listed in 15v574000 as it was not tied to the VIN in the Honda database. Car indications and maintenance reports list the same indications and problems listed in the recall.
I was driving on I-84 home from college and the car made a loud click sound, at which point I lost all drive. The car began decelerating and I was forced to pull over to the highway shoulder while cars around me were traveling at highway speeds. I was in fear for my life. The car engine runs fine, but does not move in any gear. The issue has been diagnosed as a transmission failure. I had to pay to get the car towed 80 miles to my home, and now must also face the cost of replacing the transmission (tow bill attached). My car is only at 110k miles and has always been serviced at the appropriate time. The transmission should not be failing, let alone abruptly while driving. There appears to have been a transmission recall for Honda fit and Civic 2014-2015, but my VIN was not recalled. (campaign number 15v574000) this needs to be investigated by the NHTSA immediately, as it poses a serious concern to driver safety. I have counted over 10 reports of incidents in the last 6 months where owners lost all acceleration while driving. I have listed the NHTSA id numbers below. I encourage others with this issue to come forward to we can get this resolved. 11311307 11311181 11306809 11298039 11296711 11292563 11290218 11289222 11287571 11278148.
