2015 Honda Civic with around 87,000 miles had transmission failure. Car started shaking while driving and then stopped moving. Car was properly maintained.
Vechicle was traveling at 50 mph on a country backroad when engine revved to 4. 5k rpm. Warning lights came on, on dashboard. Then the car started to shake. Got the car home and looked under the hood to find that transmission fluid cap had not been where it needed to be and was sitting next to the hole. Had to towed to the dealership where they told me I'll need a whole n�e transmission when the car is under 86k miles.
The car started to shake like it wanted to stop but it was still moving and then it shook hard and then the engine remained running and it lost acceleration and stopped in the road.
The car has a known issue as told to me by Honda dealer with the pressaure player springs failing causing loud grindr noise. It happens when taking off in first gear on these cars. It is consistent with all 9th generation Honda Civics forums list the problem as a pressure plate. Honda is attempting to charge 2800 to fix a plroblem they know is with a flawed part. When sitting in first gear and you let the clutch out the car memakes a grindr noise. One Honda forum list over 52 pages of people addressing having this issue.
All of a sudden the car started shaking, it felt like I had a tire blowout. It was a good thing that I was slowing down for a turn and no traffic behind me. I pulled over and checked out the tires and they were okay. When I tried to accelerate again the car just jerked with a big clunking sound and then it stopped all together. I was stranded with a dead car. The car would not move at all and it only had 61,00 miles on it!!.
Sticking drive by wire throttle body system , when shifting clutch is not releasing right or to the vehicle specs on the vehicle and engine vibration when idling. When starting to drive , vehicle engine vibration when driving on normal road an highway too.
Noticed a shudder with vehicle during 1st week of purchase. Thought it was a little weird since being a new car. Assumed that it was an isolated incident with regards to break in of vehicle. 2nd week of ownership on my way to work, noticed the shudder multiple times during stop and go traffic. This shudder later transitioned into a knock or pinging of some sort while jerking and accelerating on its own without any driver input. Very scary at this point. . . Got off the freeway and parked then turned the vehicle off. Upon start up, vehicle still idling violently. Had to get to work so just braked most of the way and drove with added caution. After work, car behaved normally on my way home with econ and air con both off. Shudder is still present to this day during light to moderate acceleration at 30 - 40 mph. I am fearful of using the econ and air con together as this worsens the problem. Honda and the public needs to know about this.
