2008 Civic Hybrid - 19,112 miles - when accelerating through an intersection from a stop, I experienced a temporary transmission failure causing me to lose forward momentum. Moments later the transmission kicked in and I was able to pull out of the intersection. Luckily, no cross-traffic was coming at the time and no accident resulted. I immediately brought the car in for servicing and first texas Honda updated the cvt (transmission type) software. Evidently a service bulletin (sb 08-014) was issued for this concern on March 1, 2008. The service bulletin stated that the transmission could experience problems similar to the one I had. I believe this model car should be recalled. Honda's service bulletin was not effective in addressing this issue as it created a very dangerous situation. Had cross traffic been present when my transmission failed a serious accident could have happened.
