2001 Honda Civic, complete transmission failure while driving. Transmission slipped while driving up hills and then completely failed while driving in the middle of the street. Nothing was done by Honda, but I had to have the entire transmission replaced for a total cost of 2,400. But according the Honda this is the only possible fix for the problem, an entire replacement of the transmission.

Automatic transmission started slipping between 2 & 3 gear you have to lift off of the throttle to lower the rpm's so the trans will shift into 3rd gear, all the other shift point's are fine. I believe there is a defect in this transmission. There are many complaints on online forum's about these transmissions. 2001 to 2005 Civic's.

2001 Honda Civic with 65,000 miles has had transmission problems requiring replacement/repair on 3 different occasions; each time with the same problem. . . The transmission slips before engaging fully in drive, causing the vehicle to leap forward without pressing the accelerator, creating a dangerous condition. My local Honda dealer has repaired or replaced the transmission 3 times, stating this is a chronic problem with automatic transmissions on certain models of Honda for 2001. The problem has now recurred at 65,000 miles. The manufacturer is fully aware of the defect which repeatedly manifests itself over the life of this vehicle. The dealer was fully aware the problem was present on the car when I bought it. How long will NHTSA allow the manufacturer to ignore a serious defect and let a potentially dangerous condition continue? judging from the number of complaints listed on your website, the problem is found on a significant number of 2001 Hondas equipped with an automatic transmission. Since the dealer has not been able to correct the problem, even when replacing the transmission, I believe the manufacturer should recall the vehicle and provide a redesigned transmission to correct the problem. Otherwise these vehicles will become more dangerous as they age.

Purchased a 2003 Honda certified Civic lx on January 28, 2006 from heritage Honda of towson, 9213 harford road, baltimore, MD 21234. Took vehicle in for 50,000 mile service and asked service manager about automatic transmission slipping while in "drive" on an incline, causing vehicle to roll backwards. He informed me that he had a similar vehicle which also did this, that other customers had complained to him of the same condition, and that there was nothing that could be done about it. My complaint is that: the automatic transmission will not hold the vehicle on an incline when in the "drive" position. Driver must engage the "park" position to hold the vehicle, or put the vehicle in "neutral" and engage the parking brake. Leaving the vehicle transmission in "drive" while on a hill results in slippage (this vehicle rolls backwards while in "drive", as if in "neutral"), which presents danger of impact to the driver of this vehicle and to those drivers behind them. I strongly believe that this condition of transmission and vehicle slippage when the automatic transmission is in the "drive" position, while on an incline, constitutes a serious safety hazard to drivers of this vehicle and to other drivers directly behind it. I seek to have the transmission problem corrected, if possible. If not, I would attempt to have the manufacturer buy back the vehicle as a lemon, or to get the vehicle recalled. Please advise.

2000 Honda Civic lx automatic transmission failure. The transmission started to shift hard on my 2000 Honda Civic lx which has 73,000 miles on it. Then the gears started slipping and delaying, so I took it in to have it looked at (local transmission shop). The transmission is failing and has to be replaced. We just had the transmission replaced in our other Honda (1997 Honda accord with 150,000 miles) last week, and this problem was a huge shock to us. We are replacing two Honda transmissions within a two week period!!! I think that it is ridiculous that a 2000 Honda Civic with less than 73,500 miles on it has to be replaced. Transmission failure is a serious safety hazard. Our other Honda transmission went out while we were on the interstate, and we were almost hit by another car because our car slowed down so rapidly. For now, the 2000 Honda Civic lx will be sitting in the driveway until we have saved up for another transmission replacement.

While driving the transmission began to slip, the rpms would move out of control. The vehicle was taken to three different service repair shops. All of them did not find anything wrong with the transmission. About three months later the transmission failed over a period of three days. On the third day, consumer took vehicle to a transmission shop, who determined the transmission malfunctioned. Consumer did not have any repair work performed, and left the shop when the vehicle broke down. Consumer had vehicle towed to her home. Called Honda, who said warranty was up and consumer would be responsible for the cost of repairs. Consumer took vehicle to amco ,who repaired the vehicle. They stated it was internal problems. The transmission was not replaced but repaired at 64,000 miles.

When driving at low speeds without warning transmission would slip gears.

Transmission starts slipping at approximately 50 mph. Vehicle has a clean history and hasnt been driven hard. I have been contacted by other people with the same car and identical pproblems. This is obviously far to few miles on the car for a problem of this nature since it cannot be repaired and replacement costs are in excess of $5000. Honda refuses to assist me with this and I think it warrants a recall or at least some kind of investigation into their product.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic hx with the cvt transmission. At 14,533 miles the transmission started to slip while on the freeway. It would loose power and the revolutions would go way up, the check engine light came on and the "d" light on the shift indicator started to flash. When I took it in to the dealer they did a "3 time flush of the transmission per bulletin" and sent me on my way. Well at approximately 15,000 miles it started to malfunction again, same signs and symptons as the first time. The dealers solution was to replace the transmission. This process took about a month during wich time I was provided a rental car. There is more, on 01/17/03 the car is now at 40,000 miles and experiencing the same problems with the transmission. The car was taken to the dealer on 01/18/03 and I am waiting for their diagnosis. Thankfully I was able to exit the freeway safely all 3 times without having caused any accidents.

The transmission was slipping badly and was replaced as it got worse.
