4 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2007

Transmission slipping on 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid. I have been having issues with my transmission slipping on Civic Hybrid since about 30k miles. I now have 86k miles. The 1st time I brought it into my Honda dealer in south charleston wv the mechanics said Honda said to flush the transmission fluid twice to fix the issue. They did and everything seemed to be ok. Then at about 60k the same thing happened and the Honda dealers mechanic said Honda said they knew about the problem and came up with a "new transmission formula" to fix this. I live off a major road which is 45mph and on a blind peak of a hill. When I step on the gas I need the car to move and not slip like it has in order to avoid on coming traffic. I noticed the same thing happening at 85k miles and brought it back in. This time they said they couldn't get the thing to register any faults. Now at 86k my transmission light went on and I have been noticing the slipping getting worse. I have the extended warranty good up to 100k miles but feel this to be a major safety hazard and cover up by Honda to avoid paying to replace all these defective transmissions. I will be bringing my car back into the dealer over the next few days.

6 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2007

Failure of Honda America to fix a faulty transmission. Charging for diagnostics of faulty transmission, transmission slips, judders, and seems to be failing. Transmission is worst after they said it was repaired. This is not an isolated case and apparently a manufacturing defect that american Honda should be required to fix regardless of mileage knowing that it is a problem which they are avoiding to fix. Maybe you should verify that the problem is fixed in there newer cvt's otherwise deaths may or will occur. The vehicle is a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid, searching on the internet there is thousands of complaints about the cvt transmission problems. If the refuse to fix or fail to fix, they should be held accountable and be forced to repair or replace the transmissions.

7 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2006

Transmission slips whenever you take off it has been doing this for 2 years after you change the trans. Fluid it stops for a few thousand miles then starts again. I don't think you should have to change the fluid more than the engine oil it is getting expensive!!!!.

8 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2004

Transmission slippage sound, requires transmission changes every 3,000 miles and this still doesn't completely eliminate the sound. Honda won't do anything to actually fix the problem for good.
