2015 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Civic. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while driving at approximately 40-50 MPH in cold weather, he would depress the brake pedal at a fast pace, and the vehicle would hesitate and stall. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after each failure. Additionally, the contact stated that after the vehicle was parked for hours, he was able to start the vehicle however, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the engine revved and the RPM increased but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

At 40mph heard a whining sound followed by grinding. Car lounges forward comes to a brisk stop. Total transmission failure. 127000 miles

Driving down the freeway the the car made a loud noise and would no longer accelerate. There was no warning. All maintenance was up to date. I was told it needs a new transmission. This is unacceptable. Only have 70K miles on it.

The the cap to my automatic transmission keeps popping off. I'm concerned that this could lead to contamination of the transmission fluid and premature failure of the transmission.

The passenger side drive shaft or axle snapped in half due to excessive rusts under the vibration dampener. I was accelerating from a red light while going uphill, heard a clunk, all of a sudden car would not go forward or go into park. I had to hit the brakes to avoid rolling backwards and hitting a car behind me. Then I had to put it in neutral to get to a safe area and get my car towed. The car has about 51,000 mi on it. We are in Pennsylvania so we do get a lot of road salt, still it doesn't seem like this should have failed just driving forward. The mechanic says he hasn't seen a failure like this in a car of this age. The portion of the axle under the dampener was clearly quite tapered due to chronic rusting, finally just snapped where it was so thin. It appears that the dampener traps salt and moisture against the shaft.

The car was operating fine until made a turn and the car stopped moving entirely, it would not accelerate, and the wheels would not turn. Shifting gears produced no results, and the car was completely stuck. The transmission cap on top of the CVT transmission was off, but had never been removed by me or another service provider. The safety of myself and others was put at risk because I was abruptly stopped by the issue in the middle of the road, unable to move, and received no prior warning that there were any issues with the vehicle. Multiple service centers have been unable to get the car moving again, and the issue persists. They are saying the transmission needs to be entirely replaced. It has been expected by both an independent auto shop and a transmission specialist. I received no warning of any issues with the car on the dashboard at any point.

The car was driving fine until I heard a grinding sound and pulled over to the side of the road. I turned the car off and on again, put it in drive, and pressed the gas pedal but instead of driving the car started to roll backwards down the hill I was stopped on. No check engine or other warning lights came on. I had the car towed to a mechanic who said the transmission was broken and needed to be replaced. The car is outside of the manufacturer's power train warranty but is only 7 years old with 95,000 miles. I was lucky to be driving on a residential road with no other cars around when the transmission failed instead of potentially driving on a busy highway. After having the car repaired I learned that this car once had a recall regarding broken drive pulley shafts. There are 0 open recalls tied to my VIN so I believe the software update recall was performed before I purchased the used car. I'm wondering if the software update was sufficient if the transmission still failed only a few years later.

Pressure caused transmission plug to pop out unknowingly. Vehicle now jerks at low speeds or when accelerating from a full stop position. Likely that missing plug is allowing dirt and debris into transmission fluid. Transmission likely negatively impacted. This vehicle has less than 75,000 miles. Seems this vehicle should have been included with the NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V574000

Honda Civic Ex CVT 2 door coupe 2015 It has 117,00 miles CVT transmission problems I went to mechanic to see if I had fluid because the vehicle was sluggish when shifting I was told plenty of fluid, just nasty sludge. I was told I need a new transmission. He also said my wheel bearing on passenger side needs replaced Mechanic said ,” CVT are the worse in that year” I’m wondering why no recall??
