Complete transmission failure in heavy traffic on a very busy road.

The transmission failed on my/my mother's car. This car was Honda serviced and very well maintained throughout our ownership. The car was also very gently used. It did no long distance driving, the most it drove was 15 minutes to and from my mother's job. There is no reason for this car to fail other than the car being improperly designed and put together.

Car towed to local garage where assumption is transmission failure (pending).

I was driving to dinner and my car seemed to be jumping. After dinner, I drove to an auto zone and my boyfriend checked the transmission fluid. The fluid level was fine, so we drove away. I got about a half of a mile down a busy highway in north texas when my car would not shift. Every time I pushed the gas it would only rev up the rpms. My car eventually stopped and would not move. I put on my hazards and continued trying to get the car to go into gear. It would not move. A car coming down the highway nearly rear ended me. A county constable showed up and helped us to push the car onto a side street not as busy as the highway. Another cop arrived and told me that if I did not get my car off the road in 5 minutes he would have to call a tow truck. I have since researched this problem with the Honda Civic 2001 model and apparently it is extremely widespread - it seems in every one of these cars the transmission fails and happens very suddenly. I have been told even though this is an inevitable issue with this year of the Honda Civic I am responsible for the entire repair cost, which is around $2,500.

Transmission failed on 2001 Honda Civic at 109,000 miles. Estimated cost from Honda dealership to put in a rebuilt transmission . . . $3, 900. Went online, and found hundreds of complaints about the same problem with this vehicle. No recall issued by Honda !.

My 2001 Honda Civic has been giving me slight transmission problems over the past year. This weekend, it would rev up before it fell into gear. I took the car into my mechanic for an oil change and to have him check the transmission out and I'm now faced with a $1600 replacement transmission. I don't drive the car hard and I have 57800 miles on my car. This is far too little to have to replace my transmission. Scouring the web I found that 2001 Civics and 2003 accords have the highest rate of transmission failure, yet there is no recall and no recourse for owners to take. I'm a full time graduate student and only work part time after losing my job, I should not have to shell out $1600 which I don't have to pay for a known transmission problem. But I have to find a way because I can't go to work or school without my car.

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??.

The engine in my 2002 Honda Civic le stopped running. . . There was heavy traffic and this was definitely dangerous. The cause was transmission failure. . . . The car was towed to the local dealership and the price to retrieve it was over $5,900. The mileage was 100,505. . . Too soon for this kind of problem and absurdly expensive. It is my only car, and I felt captive, for sure. Not a good report for Honda of America.

On 9/10/10 traveling at approximately 50 mph, without warning at rush hour on a very busy highway the transmission failed. I called 911 as I was in fear for my life. The engine raced but the vehicle barely moved then completely stopped. Fortunately a man pushed me onto a lot. I was towed home. The transmission was replaced. Evidently the "cooler" was clogged and the fluids were only passing thru @ 50%. (very similar to the problems seen in the 1999-2001 odyssey ) consequently the cooler was also replaced.

On a busy interstate, just exited and in a turn when the car would not go any further; only the engine would rev when gas pressed. Had to push the car onto the side of the busy road. We could have been injured even fatally if the car had stopped in the middle of the interstate or intersection of the road. Tried to change the gear to reverse, drive, and d3 with no success. The transmission failed with the entire family in the car! we've owned the car for three years and never had a problem or sign of a problem. We have maintained the car as recommended by manufacture. Now, we have only one car for a working family. We do not know anyone due to just moving into the state. The dealership does not offer a loaner car and does not cover rental car expenses. Come to find out with research, this year and model of car is notorious for this problem and has not been addressed or corrected by Honda. This needs to be a recall; it's only a mater of time before fatalities result from these transmission failures.

I was driving on highway 95 when I started to feel the car slowing even though I was in drive. Most cars are going 60-70. I had enough time to exit when the car stopped in the left lane of a busy city street. The car felt as though I was in neutral any time I tried to drive. My 2001 Honda Civic apparently had transmission failure and I will now have to pay $2400 for the rebuilt transmission. I am shocked to see how many others have had this complaint. I was lucky that I had enough time to get off the highway.

I was driving home from work during rush hour in July and about 10 minutes into my drive my car started doing these little jerking movements about every couple minutes or so this has never happened before so I figured id go home and take it somewhere to be looked at the next day about 30 minutes into my drive, I was going up a hill on a 2 lane road and all of a sudden my car stopped accelerating I had my foot all the way down the gas and my car stayed at 15 mph, but the rpms shot up cars start honking at me and swerving around me and I realized immediately that I needed to pull over before my car gave out completely and started rolling backwards down the hill I ended up having my car towed to a local garage where they told me the transmission had failed I just had my car inspected in the spring at the same garage and it passed with no transmission problems at all I havent had the transmission fixed yet but as I was looking into I started reading about how 2002 Honda Civic transmissions were one of their worst years for transmissions and on occasion will break with little or no warning.

While driving on surface streets my transmission failed and I was unable to use my car. I was almost hit my multiple cars behind me as my car had suddenly failed. I could hear my engine rev to high rpm, but the car was not in motion. Thereafter 5 minutes later, the "check engine" light came on. I went to a mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be rebuilt. I've found numerous problems occur on this vehicle after researching it online further.

But insisted on charging me $3,200 to replace the transmission.

I drive a 2001 Honda Civic lx (100k miles) which is in a+ condition and is impeccably maintained. I was driving on highway 264 on 7/7/10, in nc. My car suddenly jerked and was left with just a neutral rev when I tried to accelerate. Because of heavy traffic I was unable to get off of the highway and was stranded on the roadway. Other motorists assisted me in pushing the car from the roadway. I was towed to a repair facility where it was determined that the transmission had failed. After doing some research I have found that this is a common issue with this year vehicle. I found hundreds, if not thousands, of other owners of my same year vehicle with the same identical issue. There are many, many websites that are addressing this to the public. I even found that "consumer reports" is aware of it and shows it in their ratings for this specific year and model. Having a vehicle spontaneously disable on a highway, or anywhere, is a true safety hazard.
