Transmission completely failed at a stop sign a month out of warranty at 49k miles. Was driving from my parent's driveway to said stop sign, around 100ft. Stopped at the stop sign, tried to move and got no traction. Next day had it towed, independent technician said the transmission was shot. Brought it to krenzen Honda in duluth, mn, they said transmission was shot. There was no suggested maintenance for the power train beforehand. Honda of America is claiming I didn't perform required maintenance but did not provide any information as to what that maintenance was supposed to be. Honda of America is refusing to fix it, even though there's an active recall for this model and for this failure mode (cvt being destroyed) but oddly enough not my car. This shows that there are other vehicles outside of the recall liable to have this happen. Service tech at krenzen said that this happens quite frequently.

The internal shaft of the transmission failed on my 2015 Honda Civic which was under recall for this exact issue at 61k miles on a road trip, the car was under warranty when we left for a road trip, on our way back home this happened. Honda has been of no help to me in this situation with a case manager telling me "thats not my problem". I would like Honda to either buy the car back at fair market value or replace the defective transmission as I am on fear of my safety.

I bought my car new and have had it only 3 1/2 years. My issues started with my battery failing twice within a year of each other. I had to replace all 4 tires with new ones only a year after buying it because the tires were so worn down as if they were not new to begin with. Then I had a system failure that required my car to be taken in to service for a couple days. Then more recently I had a transmission piece failure that emptied my transmission fluid to the point that I was driving on the road and my car slowly stopped moving which eventually had me stranded on the side of the road for a couple hours until I was able to get towed. Honestly one of the worst experiences in my life. I was by myself on the side of a wooded area while it was getting dark. When I had my car not start it was in a stationary potion. When my car had a weird system molt down I was driving and when the transmission started acting up I was also driving. When driving I was on a main street and had to pull over to the side of the road.

A recall notice was issued in September 2015 for 2014 and 2015 Honda Civics due to transmission failures. My 2015 Civic was bought in November 2015 and on sept. 10, 2018 experienced a transmission failure similar to cars in the recall. I am writing to see if the recall is being expanded to include other cars experiencing these issues. American Honda is maintaining no responsibility and referred me to NHTSA, claiming my car was outside of the recall. But the time frame and problem experienced is suspect.

Automatic transmission failing at 74000 miles as diagnosed by Honda and independent transmission repair technician. Check engine light comes on while vehicle in motion. Code: p0470. Was advised will need complete transmission replacement very soon however Honda dealer reluctant to admit it.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. While driving 35 mph, the check engine light illuminated and the transmission failed. The vehicle was shut off, restarted, and placed in gear with no response. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000. The VIN was not provided.

Without any warning or symptoms the engine light came on and stayed on. Dealer determined transmission has failed, based on dtc codes: p0700 a/t system p0730 incorrect gear ratio dealer says transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of (with a used transmission with 89,000 miles on it a a six month/6000 mile warranty) $2,700 installed. I declined. Car seems to be running fine but engine warning light remains on, causing MA vehicle safety inspection failure and I now have 60 days to repair it or take it off the road. The problem with Honda transmissions seems to be endemic, but a secret. Others have fared much worse with transmission failures on the road.

Transmission failed without any warning signs on 2001 Honda Civic. Many other users have had same issue.

This car has a defective transmission. Unknown to me, it came that way from the dealer. A couple Honda dealerships acknowledged the problem. It first started slipping around 40,000 miles. I had the transmission fluid changed ahead of schedule and the problem went away. This was when they told me of the class action law suit and the recommended fixes. The transmission initially failed at 54,300 miles. Stevens creek Honda cleaned the transmission with a special detergent and replaced the fluid. They said if the problem came up again before 109,000 miles they would have to ¿burnish¿ the transmission. What I didn¿t realize is that the detergent cleaning was a ¿band-aid¿ fix so that the dealership could avoid the more costly fixes they were obligated to perform under the terms of the lawsuit. The car performed normally again. I would have the fluid replaced more that normal during service visits. The transmission failed again at 124,700 miles. Now they don¿t want to cover the cost because it is now longer under warranty, or covered by the terms of the class action lawsuit. This is essentially fraud. They did a cheap ineffective cleaning in order to avoid and expensive repair they were supposed to do. Also, when the transmission fails, I have almost gotten in a serious accident on the freeway. This is a very dangerous problem. I will never buy a Honda again¦¦.

Transmission failure. It could not drive forward but can drive back.

Upon entering expressway, going to change lanes - transmission totally failed. Nothing but engine reving when pushing on accelerator. No warning lights, nothing. Almost got killed due to truck having to stop as we coasted off highway. Upon having vehicle towed to dealer (Honda lisle) and going on line I find that this is a very common occurrence for this vehicle and model year. Why has there not been a recall notice on this. This is truly a danger to the drivers of this vehicle. There are thousands of similar experiences posted online.

Automatic transmission failure and electric coolant temperature sensor failure in 2006 Honda Civic ex. Noticed change in driving feel over past couple of weeks--shifting was jerky, not smooth; seemed to rev slightly higher at times while driving. Engine warning light came on 2-13-13 when starting engine. Also, green light next to "drive" on the dash started blinking. Took car into Honda dealership the next day. Was told that the transmission fluid was burnt, transmission had hydraulic issues, gears not shifting properly. New transmission installed. Had all previous regular maintenance performed at Honda dealership, on schedule.

I was driving on a busy highway and my engine began to suddenly rev up and car began to slow down until it completely stopped. No warning lights came on in car before or after it happened. I barely had enough time to pull my car over to the side of the road. Had there been more traffic, I would have stalled on the highway which could have caused a severe accident. My car was immobile and had to be towed. I was told that my transmission failed.

Automatic transmission failed abruptly while driving in traffic. Engine revved but car would not move. I was fortunate to be in the right lane at the time and to be able to pull over and push the car out of traffic to avoid an accident. Failure could have easily happened a few miles later on freeway or freeway on-ramp and could have resulted in a serious accident.

Complaint: spent $4000 to completely rebuild my transmission at 96,800 miles last spring and am now experiencing the same early signs of transmission failure a year later. There was no engine/warning light to warn me that there was a problem until my car started having trouble switching gears, struggling to accelerate and was running rougher than normal. I’m luckier than a lot of the people who have complained since I was able to catch this issue before my transmission fell out of my car or stopped working as I was driving. I think if 600+ people complain about a very obvious engine failure, there needs to be an investigation. This is unacceptable. I am currently showing early signs of the same problem. My car is getting stuck while switching gears and having issues accelerating in between the gears. And is just generally running rougher than it should be. I should not have to rebuild my transmission in a Honda at 96,800 miles let alone again at 124,000 after just over a year. My car was not worth that much last spring when I fixed it but choose to do it thinking I’d be set for the rest of the car’s life. Now I’m looking at having to sell it for scraps and get a new car because I can not shell out another $4,000 to fix a manufacturing problem.

I was attempting to cross through a busy intersection when my transmission failed without warning leaving me stranded. I was in the middle of a very busy high speed intersection. Apparently this is a very common problem with this year vehicle. I am lucky I wasn't killed. My guess is it will take someone important getting killed before its addressed.

Transmission failed without warning in traffic, luckily had momentum to maneuver vehicle into center turn lane, out of way of traffic.

I own a 2002 Honda Civic lx which is notorious for transmission failures. I became pro active about it when the automatic shifting started to slip. I had it looked at and tested several times, including an entire day with the Honda dealership that I purchased it from. I even sent a letter in 2009 to american Honda motor CO. They all insisted it was fine. On July 8, 2011 while driving on a narrow mountain road in the rockies, the transmission went. The vehicle was towed and replaced and rebuilt. I do have the old parts. Honda, when contacted basically said they would do nothing. This is a long standing problem and Honda has known about it for many years. Does not sit well with me nor should it for anyone else that would want a Honda.

The transmission failed when I was driving on a busy road. I just bought this car one year ago, and do the regular maintenance. I did the transmission flush before 100,000 miles. But when it reached just over 110,000 miles, the car just can't be moved. Onthe second morning, the car can be slowly driven, so I slipped it to a transmission garage. They told me it will cost over $2000 to fix it. I thought it's impossible to me. Then I drove it back to my parking space. I called Honda customer service and they refused to do anything.

I bought a used 2001 Honda Civic lx back in December 2010, with about 125k miles on it with the carmax report that did not reflect any major problems or accidents for this car, it did reflect the maintance that the privious owner made and it was as schedule. The car ran well and I made the schedule maintainance for oil and general checks. Now after 6-months I started the car to go to work and as I was driving the engine light came out and the car stoped accelarating. After getting towed I took the car to the dealer where they ran a dignosis, that resulted on a transmission failure. Now they are charging me close to $3,000 to get it fixed. This has been a major inconvinience, I had to find a borrowed car in order to get to work, and iam not sure if I should get this fix, iam afriad somenthing else will occur, since this model has had so many complaints.

Have an 03 Civic hybrid with cvt transmission. I got it certified used at about 36,000 miles and it was supposed to have fresh trans fluid and I believe it did. The powertrain is warranted to 100,000 miles since it was certified used. I am at 74,000 now. At about 66,000, when it should have been due for it’s transmission fluid change, it was making a slipping/grinding sound when starting off, especially on a hill. It had previously been very smooth and quiet. It gradually became a problem. It was not all of a sudden. It was hard to know for sure that it was not my imagination, except for it being real obvious on an incline and it was getting worse. The dealer’s mechanic heard the sound, too, and said let’s start with the fluid change it was due for. The change made it great again, but only for a few thousand miles. When I went back they said they had learned about a process called burnishing the transmission band. I believe they put their foot on the brake while putting on the gas, almost to the point of stalling (I think) to clean up the band. Mine would be the 2nd car they would do it on. It also requires a change of fluid after because it is supposed to take the crud from the parts and put it into the fluid. They did it for free since I had already asked them to work on this problem, and I had paid for the fluid change to fix the same problem. Again, after their work it was nice and quiet and smooth, but about 3,000 miles later it is coming back again. I don’t know if their process did anything, or if it was just the fresh fluid that helped like it did the first time. I am concerned repetitions of the process might decrease the life of the transmission. The best outcome for me would probably be a complete transmission failure at 99,000 miles because then I can get a new one. Anybody having similar problems?.

My Honda 2001 Civic ex has had 2 transmission failures and both were sudden and unexpected and 1st failure with 70,000 miles on vehicle left car immobile at the end of an interstate on ramp in rush hour traffic and nearly caused an accident and had to be pushed to the side of the road by fellow motorists that risked injury to get my wife out of traffic. . . The second most recent failure left my wife stranded on a busy 2 lane road blocking traffic until a tow truck was called . I have investigated online complaints and found thousands of reports of low mileage defective transmissions that fail suddenly on Honda Civics and without prior warning yet Honda neglected to warn of this danger of losing all transmission power without any advanced warning. . . If there is no warning from manufacturer how can the public make an informed decision as to not put their family in harms way?.
