I have a 2004 Honda Civic ex. Driving to glendale (1 hour from where I live) in the city I started noticing the transmission was jerking. Shortly after the engine light came on. Going up a hill my transmission wasn't working anymore and was revving without going into gear. I was in motion on a hill on a very tight road where only 1 car can pass at a time. And cars were parked on the side of the street. I almost crashed into the parked cars because I could't control the jerking of the car and the transmission slipping. I had cars coming towards me and had the car stalled on the road and had to block the traffic for 30 min before my friends could come and help me move the car. There was little amount of space and parking and had to push the car for a while before finding a parking spot. The car has only 123,000 miles, the transmission fluid is fresh and clean and never had any transmission problems. Within 15 min the whole transmission blew up! I really hope Honda can take care of this problem because I see that there are multiple complaints about Honda's transmission failing in these Honda Civics between 2000 and 2004.

The car transmission is slipping. Sometimes it works and sometimes the engine is fine, but when I accelerate the car does not move forward right away. Engine light stays on. It has plenty of fluid, but the transmission does not engage.

I have currently lodged more than six complaints with this ageny in regard to a 2014 Honda Civic I purchased new from frank fletcher Honda in bentonville, ar. The vehicle continues to experience the same issues on a daily basis. This includes stalling, transmission slipping, jerking and an overall rough ride. The dealership was served on February 3, 2015 with a certified letter making a written demand under the arkansas new motor vehicle quality assurance act (act 297 of 1993) to provide compensation under said law. Honda America was also served with the same letter. The dealership and Honda America have had ample time to correct this situation but have done nothing to date. Both entities have placed me and my family in jeopardy by choosing to answer my request for a safe vehicle. My attorney, who drew up the letter, stated the car falls under the "lemon law" and I'm currently driving "half a vehicle. ".

The contact owns a 2014 Honda Civic. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly began to shudder and it became difficult to maintain the desired speed. While driving uphill, the vehicle lost power. The contact had to change gears to d2 in order to continue driving. The contact stated that it felt like the gears were slipping and the vehicle made a loud revving noise while attempting to stop from high speeds or attempting to accelerate after being stopped. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v574000 (power train); therefore, the vehicle would not receive the repair under the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

Had problems with the transmission slipping for a couple of months. Then while accelerating into traffic it decided to stop working completely and leave me stranded across the middle of a 4 lane highway with oncoming traffic. I have since replaced the transmission and within 2 weeks the new transmission is doing the same thing.

Driving home from work, the transmission started slipping and coming out of gear. Car reved but would not engage. Had to have car towed home, and then to mechanic, who stated the transmission needs replacing.

I am a very angry owner of a 02 Civic ex, only with 80k on this car it needs a new transmission. I researched online that this is very common for this year make and model. I called american Honda today, they are aware of this issue but will not help since this is an 11 year old car which is [xxx]. You will have to be the original owner for them to take it in consideration. They should stand behind something that they made that is putting us at risk of accidents or even death. Every one is having the same problem, obviously its a defect. Gears are slipping from 2nd to 3rd gear with an automatic transmission, car was will maintained and was serviced by Honda dealership.

I was driving home from picking my daughter up from school when at 65 mph the car started to jerk. The transmission was slipping in an out of gear. If I pulled over an sat for 15 min it would start to pull like normal again for a couple miles then do it again. I had to do that several times turning a 15 min trip into a 2 hour trip.

The car began making squealing noises each time I accelerated starting about one week ago. As of yesterday, my car's transmission has begun slipping. Each time it does so, the engine revs into higher rpms. I took my car in for inspection and was told I will need a transmission rebuild. The transmission only has 143,000 miles on it. I get all of my regular maintenance. There are thousands of online complaints for 2002 Honda Civic transmission failures. Luckily, my transmission hasn't failed while driving on the freeway yet like everyone else's seems to be doing.

Transmission slip for 20 min when I first start the car then it shift hard after that . Seat belt light always on.

I was able to start the car and drove to some distance while experiencing some gear engaging problems. Then suddenly the following symptoms: 1. Car stutters or jerks while accelerating. 2. Check engine light is on. 3. Transmission slips or won't engage. 4. Transmission pops in and out of gear. 5. Car will turn on and starts to move a bit, then can't get it to move. I had to call service to tow my car back to home because car dealership was closed for holidays. This happened on 2012/12/23 and the mileage on my 2001 Honda Civic was 80404 miles.

I was yet another unfortunate victim of Honda's cheap transmission and I say cheap in that it doesn't work properly not that it is cheap to get it repaired. No that is over $2000 according to my local Honda dealership. After taking such good care of my car diligently taking it in for oil changes and tune ups at Honda's recommended mileage; I am severely disappointed. I had just pulled up to a busy stop light, when the light turned green I hit the gas and my car moved forward like usual, but suddenly right as I past the intersection the car's transmission started slipping and then just died. I shut the car off, started it back up and some how after a few minutes managed to get the transmission to hold just enough to pull it into a turn off. I had numerous people honking and yelling at me to get off the road. Honda if you're listening, I won't be buying another vehicle from you. Nhtsa if you're listening please I implore you to do an investigation this could very likely cause someone to get hurt or killed.

The transmission started slipping when shifting from 2nd to 3rd and 2 days later it failed altogether in traffic. I was able to pull to the side, but it could have been much worse if I had been unable to pull over.

Car would not accelerate when gas pedal is pressed and would basically "coast" making it very scary when you're on the freeway onramp with cars behind you. Have thankfully not had an accident but obviously has the potential for one. Was told transmission is slipping and would cost $1800 for a rebuild. Happens everytime I drive. Internet search shows other similar complaints and is common to this vehicle.

I just took off for work and my car wouldn't accelerate and made a terrible whining sound. It would not go above 20mph. I try to take good care of my car and since Hondas supposedly last a long time I did not think something like this would happen around 143,500 miles. I could have been hit since I live right on a road where people are constantly speeding by, but was lucky it was not a busy time of day. I have even brought the car into Honda to look at the transmission for slipping. They said there was nothing they could do about it I just need to warm the car up before I drive it. Clearly that wasn't helpful at all.

We purchased this 2001 Honda Civic ex because of the Honda brand supposedly being so synonymous with quality and longevity. If I would have researched on the internet for prevalent problems with the 2001 Honda Civic, I would have come across the "transmission failure" issue and never would have purchased this vehicle. And I would advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing a 2001 - 2005 Honda Civic, beware, the transmission will prematurely fail. So, on with the story. We are the second owners of this car and it had 37,000 miles on it when we purchased it from a private party. At around 80,000 miles, the transmission started slipping going into 2nd gear. We took it in to a local transmission company who serviced (changed fluid) and tested it telling us that they could not get it to "slip. " so now, my lovely bride tells me yesterday that it was getting really bad and she was having a hard time getting back from work. I drove it to work myself and made an appointment at our local Honda dealership. They were so not interested in our dilemma but said that we could bring it in and they would check it out. Not getting the warm fuzzies from them, we made another appointment with our local xxxxx service center. Everyone at xxxxx was polite, understanding and aware of the "infamous crappy Honda transmission" issue. Unfortunately, on the drive there, the transmission completely failed on the freeway and we managed to get it off the road and called aamco. They immediately called a tow truck and it is now at xxxxx. Approximate rebuilt cost is $3,100. 00. This is pricey, but it includes a nationwide 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. We also called the north american Honda customer service line and spoke to xxxxx. She is located at an office in torrance, CA. Xxxxx was so disinterested in our problem and explained that we could take it into our local dealership and it would be at their discretion to take it up with the Honda field rep. This is a dangerous situation needing a recall.

As I crossed into a busy intersection, my car's transmission began to slip as cars were coming at me. I was terrified. My transmission failed. After extensive research I found the 2001 Honda Civic had a faulty transmission. Over 600 complaints. I called Honda and was told I had already exceeded the alloted miles on the power train warranty so it was not covered. I had to buy a used transmission for $1095. 00 and hire a mechanic to replace my transmission. It is my opinion that Honda was well aware of this bad transmission and they should have offered a replacement, no matter what the mileage on the owners vehicle.

2002 Honda Civic GX began losing power, threw engine code 1890 and the transmission was slipping badly in 3rd gear. Independent repair shop determined the transmission needed to be replaced, but could not locate either a new or rebuilt transmission. The Honda dealer said an extended warranty only covered up to 105,000 miles or 7 years, whichever was less. They have not gotten back to me on any other extended warranties available.

I bought a 2001 Honda Civic le with 86,000 miles. At 95,000 miles, the transmission starting slipping out of clutch while driving. It caused inability to keep the car at speed and had to let off on gas until the transmission would "catch". Required replacement of the transmission at approx $3,000 cost.

Just driving down the highway transmission slipped a little then it was ok, got down the highway, exit the highway engine light came on, transmission failed. Had to coast around a corner. Nothing before to let me know the transmission was failing until then. Could have failed while driving down the highway and someone could have reared ended me while doing 70 mph.

I own a 2002 Honda Civic ex. The transmission was slipping a little so I took it to my Honda dealer for service. They called and said the transmission fluid was black and smelled burnt. They changed it as well as giving me a timing belt service package ($635) and sparkplug change ($200). Upon taking it for a test drive, it stopped working. After a restart they managed to get it back to the dealership where it gave the error code corresponding to "improper gear ratio" which in turn translated to complete and total transmission failure. I did some digging and found very similar problems with other Civics and accords with models in the early 2000s. I filed a complaint with Honda of America and after a week of review they called to tell me that they would discount $700 off of a new transmission. . . So I'm still out $2,500.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. While driving approximately 20 mph on normal road conditions, the transmission slipped erratically when shifting between gears. The failures occurred more frequently in cold weather conditions. There were no warnings prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnostic tests were performed. The technician stated that the failure was related to the transmission and advised that the vehicle be taken to a specialized transmission auto shop.

Automatic transmission slipping in dangerous traffic situations. This occurs when car shifts. Honda will not recall this obvious model defect in thousands of their 02 Civic.

I have a 2005 Honda Civic hybrid. It usually seems to happen at 40 mph and above. The transmission slips (like when you're coming out of the tolls). I had the burnish procedure done last in the fall/winter of last year. Within the last month, the transmission has slipped a better part of 10 times. I took it to the dealership to get it under warranty. They said they can not duplicate the incident. Just this past weekend, between 40 and 60 mph, it slipped 3 times in a row. The next day, at about 68 mph, the rpms stayed at 3000. It's normally around 25-2600 rpm. Again, the mechanic could not duplicate the problem. They told me if I bring the car back again, I will be charged $87 per hour, even though it is under warranty. The transmission slippage has been occurring about 3-5 times a week. Never when I am at the Honda dealer. They told me they can only do something if they can see what is happening and told me to bring it back when it is happening consistently.
