Clutch Broken Problems of Honda Civic

In November 2025 a burning smell was noticed when driving on the highway. The car was taken to the dealership the next morning and was diagnosed with clutch failure. The burning smell returned when the dealer was assessing the vehiclethe car is in the process of being repaired but I have asked for the parts to be kept for me post repair. The issue puts others at risk due to unpredictability in shifting ability, possible smoke/flames due to wear and inability to put car into gear. A dealer has identified the problem as clutch failure. No one has inspected the parts other than the dealer. There were no warning lamps, messages, etc until the burning smell. The dealer has attributed the clutch failure to wear and tear, however the car is driven by an experienced driver and has only 44k miles on the vehicle. A previous safety bulletin (Honda TSB 22-017) was issued the same problem for vehicle years 2020 and 2021 but did not include 2022. The manufacturer has refused to investigate whether this could be an extension of that safety bulletin. An online search indicated that this issue has occurred in a significant number of vehicles of the same year, make and model. T.

Car has had several incidents of the third gear popping out or grinding while engaging. It is a 2006 Honda Civic si. Contacted dealer about the issue and even though there is a technical service bulletin out from Honda saying it is a known issue, they wanted $1,500 dollars to repair it. This needs to be recalled as it is a danger while driving to have your car not properly engage the gears and a quick internet search tells me there are thousands more with the same issue as me. This problem is not only an immediate issue while driving but will lead to faster clutch wear which could put the timing of repairs off of a normal schedule and a clutch failure while driving could be fatal.

The car is a 2001 Honda Civic lx with 48,000 miles. I was driving on the freeway at rush hour when the automatic transmission suddenly slipped out of gear, stopped shifting, a yellow warning light went on the dash after the transmission slipped and the car lost power. The warning light was misleading and inaccurate in its assessment. The dealer service center informed me that there was an internal clutch failure in the transmission. The transmission had an internal failure and that it needed to be replaced. But they then said they had never heard of this problem and that it must be only my car that has this problem. I have since found out that it is very common on this make, model, and year.
