The vehicle's automatic transmission suddenly slipped out of gear from drive into neural (disengaged and did not re-engage) without warning while traveling at highway speeds, and the accelerator would no longer deliver power from the engine to the rest of the power train. Because I was traveling downhill, I was able to coast off the main highway to a side road at the next intersection. After this initial failure, the vehicle would not shift back into gear at all (neither in drive or in reverse) unless the engine is turned off and allowed to cool. Once the engine is cooled off, the vehicle is able to shift back into gear, but only for brief periods of time (less than 5 minutes) before the transmission disengages once again, and whilst in gear, the engine struggles to deliver power.

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Civic. The contact was driving 10 mph and attempting a turn when the vehicle stalled and slipped out of gear. The contact stated that the gear engaged back into the correct position independently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test where the dealer advised that the transmission slipping was a common failure, but advised that the transmission was operating normally. The dealer stated that the slipping would occur because the transmission assumed that the vehicle was stopping. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 8,500.

Honda Civic 2002 sedan; manual transmission. Around 80,000 miles, my transmission began to slip out of gear, with no real warning, in the middle of a highway. This is not only weird and annoying, but extremely dangerous if you are unprepared for it. , as the gear just slips back into neutral and you could start going backwards on a highway, or just slow to a halt in the middle of a high speed road. . . Etc. I am at the point where I cannot even drive the car any longer and it has been sitting in a shop for over a month awaiting a used part from a junk car. There's really no reason I should have to replace my transmission at 80,000 miles, especially with all recommended maintenance done and no real abuse to the car on my part. Honda needs to recall these transmissions and replace them as this is a common problem with '02 Civics.

With no warning at all and luckily after exiting interstate 10, my Honda Civics transmission started slipping out of gear, feeling like it was going into neutral, until it finally could not move. I coasted to the side of the road and called a tow truck to take me home. Prior to writing this complaint I did some research and came across multiple sites (including Honda) that states that these Honda Civics have known problems with their transmissions. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and a recall should be requested before someone dies unnecessarily. I am appalled that Honda (who is fully aware of this defect) does not initiate a recall to correct this obvious defect in these transmissions. Is there a certain number of people that have to die in order for them to do something? I think the NHTSA has an obligation to the people of the USA to force a recall since it's obvious a problem exists here! until now, I had a different impression of Honda. . . Built to last? except for your transmission!.

Yesterday I was driving down a very busy stretch of I-680 in the walnut creek, California area. My car was working perfectly when all of a sudden my 2001 Honda Civic ex at (with only 65,000 miles) slipped out of gear, essentially into neutral. I was unable to get back into gear and had to navigate over 3 lanes of rush hour traffic and coast to the side of the freeway. Luckily I was able to make it to the side of the road without causing any accidents, although it did back up traffic. To top things off, I didn't have a cell phone and was stranded. As it turns out my transmission failed. After doing a quick google search I learned that this is a major problem with this year/model Honda. . Read more...

While sitting at a red ligh and trying to pull out, the vehicle jumped out of gear and went into neutral, lost control, and almost hit another vehicle.
