Transmission fill plug popping out of its position on top of the transmission fill port. Causing leaking trans fluid and possible transmission failure. Dealership has checked this issue 1 time and states the issue has been resolved. Less than 3 days later the same issue occurred.

Transmission fill plug came out and leaked fluid all over my transmission. The fluid was changed at my local Honda dealership about 2 years ago. Only noticed while I was changing my oil on 9/6/2020. I have no idea to when the plug came out and started leaking. I looked it up in online forums and it seems to be a common problem. I'm afraid it will get dirt or other materials in my transmission and mess it up. Luckily I was able to get to it by taking the air-intake off and putting the plug back in place. Will be reporting this to my dealership as well.

My vehicle was showing no obvious signs of issues when purchased at about 28,000 miles 11/1/18 upon my first oil change at 39,000 miles it was noted that though transmission fluid was at safe levels there appeared to be a leak as condensation was noticed by the third party oil service technician. I was told to keep an eye out for any issues. I drove my vehicle with no obvious issues of driveway leaks or service lights on the vehicle indicating a transmission issue it also seemed to drive normally. At 43,900miles while driving the vehicle the service light came on indicating a transmission problem the drive light was blinking and my car was making a noise I never heard before. I was not able to make it to my destination as my car just stoped accelerating as I was trying to pull over on the highway. This all happened pretty quickly as the car stopped accelerating shortly after the service light came on for the very first time. The car was towed to the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle. The dealership claims the transmission was burned due to negligence by the third party oil technician removing the cap from my vehicle and not putting it back. I can say that the cap was not removed as I was in the car while it was being serviced for an oil change only. The third party company has explained that they also would not have removed the cap as transmission levels a digitally checked for my vehicle make and model. Also this incident was 8 months after they last serviced my vehicle. There is no outside damage to the transmission. It is unknown how the cap was removed found unhinged by the dealership. Below are photos provided by the dealership.

I was taking my mom to work at around 4am. On my way back my car suddenly stopping in the middle of the freeway. Luckily no cars were around and I was able to move it to the side of the road. The engine ran fine, but it would not accelerate or reverse. My car almost felt like it was left on neutral. Once I got it towed to a mechanic they told me my transmission pretty much blew out and I had to replace it. Before this incident I had a previous problem with the transmission fluid leaking. Anyways I got a new transmission and shortly after (November 2019) I could feel my car jolting if I came to a sudden stop or even accelerated. When I took it back to the shop they told me it was a problem with the transmission binding. They had to replace it once again. Now the car feels somewhat better, but still jerks with some stops. I've looked up my VIN for recalls and nothing has come up, but this is my 3rd issue with this car. I bought it brand new and used it for daily commutes. All this started happening around 97,000-100,000 miles on the car. I have kept up with maintenance so I'm unsure why this is happening.

I was driving early this morning around 6:45am. Was driving around to get coffee and such, then going 45mph to get to onramp of I-75. After accelerating normally to 68mph, the acceleration stopped and pressing on the gas did nothing. I slowed to around 20mph and that is the max speed I could go on the interstate until I pulled over. There were no weird sounds or smells or leaks, transmission fluid was full. I can start the car fine and drive it around going 20mph, but wont shift after that. Took to belle tire mechanics and they claim its a bad transmission. Everything I've researched online shows this to be a defective clutch pack carrier and is a known issue to Honda and most mechanics, but they claim to not know anything for obvious reasons to avoid having to pay for their mistakes. This needs to be fixed by Honda as this is not the fault of normal wear/tear. This is a blatant mistake by Honda!! someone needs to file a class action suit against Honda for this. I've seen hundreds of other people with the exact same issue.

Cars transmission started slipping on the way home from work. Going down hill transmission completely failed and engine revved up - would not move. Pulled over to side of road and car would not move. Would not move in forward or reverse. Transmission fluid was full, no apparent leaks. Fluid smelled like it was burned. Car had all service up to date, performed by dealer. Car was purchased brand new from dealer. Transmission had been serviced (fluid changed) twice by dealer. Had car towed to dealer - diagnosed as bad transmission. Quoted price of $3876 to replace. Found numerous reports of other Civic owners on the internet with the same transmission failure. Honda transmissions are obviously poor quality and not reliable. Some people had to replace trans. 2-3 times in first 100,000 miles.

Transmission failed and was replaced by dealer at 50000 miles. That put 2 more in it and the one that is currently in it has leaked ever since it was installed. I have kept fluid in it at the correct level and now it is slipping at 92000.
