AS I CROSSED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AS CARS WERE COMING AT ME. I WAS TERRIFIED. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC HAD A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. OVER 600 COMPLAINTS. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD I HAD ALREADY EXCEEDED THE ALLOTED MILES ON THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SO IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HAD TO BUY A USED TRANSMISSION FOR $1095.00 AND HIRE A MECHANIC TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. IT IS MY OPINION THAT HONDA WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS BAD TRANSMISSION AND THEY SHOULD HAVE OFFERED A REPLACEMENT, NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE ON THE OWNERS VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DROVE TO SOME DISTANCE WHILE EXPERIENCING SOME GEAR ENGAGING PROBLEMS. THEN SUDDENLY THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: 1. CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR WON'T ENGAGE. 4. TRANSMISSION POPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. 5. CAR WILL TURN ON AND STARTS TO MOVE A BIT, THEN CAN'T GET IT TO MOVE. I HAD TO CALL SERVICE TO TOW MY CAR BACK TO HOME BECAUSE CAR DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS. THIS HAPPENED ON 2012/12/23 AND THE MILEAGE ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WAS 80404 MILES. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY HONDA BECAUSE OF A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SWITCH WHICH CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HONDA REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIR AT THEIR COST. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM, AND HONDA SHOULD FIX IT, SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROX. 12AM THE LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORK, BUT LOW BEAMS WILL NOT COME ON. *TR

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE! WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WOULD NOT GET IN GEAR. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT I WAS NOT MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO LET IT COAST TO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY UGLY IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A BUSIER STREET. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION. APPARENTLY THE OIL PUMP AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED WHICH BASICALLY CAUSED THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. I HAD TO DO A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I KNOW MY HONDA HAS A FEW MILES BUT 104K SEEMS TOO EARLY FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR
