2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH VEHICLE TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS TOLD, THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT A COMPLETE CHECK-UP BY THE MECHANICS AT THE DEALERSHIP, BEFORE HE PURCHASED IT. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, HE EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE, THE DEPTH OF THE TIRES WERE RATED 3/32-4/32. ALSO, THE TIRES WERE A LARGER SIZE THEN RECOMMENDED. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES WERE SAFE AND THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ANY PART OF THE COST FOR THE TIRE REPLACEMENT.

CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY, WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. NO WARNING OF PROBLEMS, CAR IS REGULARLY SERVICED, ONE OWNER. TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I TRIED TO DODGE THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT, AND FAILED TO DO SO. I SCRATCH THE REAR LEFT BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR, THEN SPIN 540 DEGREES AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS WEARING THE SEATBELT SO IT WAS OK BUT THE FRONT AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED TO PROTECT ME FROM CERTAIN INJURIES. I STILL FEEL SOME PAIN ON MY NECK AND MY BACK 3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED, AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER OR ANY GAUGE WHEN THE SUN HITS THE PLASTIC COVERING THEM. IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA HASN'T RECALLED THE PLASTIC OR AT LEAST PUT SOMETHING ON IT. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED. I OWNED A 2002 HONDA CIVIC BEFORE THIS AND IT DID NOT HAVE THE SAME ANGLE ON THE DASH SO THERE WAS NEVER AN ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V260000 (AIR BAGS: FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR MODULE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE YEAR OF HIS VEHICLE HOWEVER, WAS OMITTED FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN FACT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WANTED TO HAVE THE LETTER AMENDED TO REFLECT THAT HIS VEHICLE YEAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME, BACK COUNTRY ROADS, WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE REVVED UP TO OVER 5000RPM WHILE MAKING A VERY SLOW TURN. I BRAKE, IT STOPPED REVVING UP, BUT WHEN I STARTED AGAIN IT SHUDDERED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED MOVING. I COULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR, I TRIED WAITING A WHILE, CAR RUNS FINE BUT WON'T MOVE. SAT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR A TOW, HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACED. OF COURSE, THIS WILL COST ALMOST THE VALUE OF THE CARE, BUT THAT'S NOT MY MAIN CONCERN. WHILE THIS DID NOT CAUSE ME PHYSICAL HARM, I WAS PLANNING ON LEAVING FOR BALTIMORE WITHIN THE HOUR. HAD THIS CAR WAITED 50 MORE MILES TO GIVE OUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON 695S ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FRIDAY NIGHT COMMUTERS AND COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, MYSELF INCLUDED? THIS CAR SIMPLY STOPPED MOVING WITHIN 1 MINUTE - NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NO PRIOR NOTICE OF ANYTHING WRONG. I KEEP THIS CAR MAINTAINED PER THE MANUAL AND WAS PLANNING ON KEEPING IT FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS. I HAVE NOW FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR HONDA FOR MANY YEARS AND STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS BY SO MANY CONSUMERS I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE? HOW MANY WILL NEED TO DIE IN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? *TR

CAR WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, ALL OF A SUDDEN COULDN'T MAKE IT UP A HILL, SPEED WOULDN'T GO PAST 20MPH. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC - 84,000 MILES STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY HIGHWAY - RT. 70 IN BRICK NJ. I COASTED INTO A DITCH ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION BLEW - I HAD NO WARNING AT ALL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND ALSO FOUND THAT HONDA WAS TAKEN TO COURT FOR THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN ON A CAR WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE. I CALLED HONDA JUST NOW AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT, AND NO GOOD FAITH EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO ASSIST ME IN PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO THE AGE OF THE CAR. BUT THE MILEAGE DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH A SERIOUS ISSUE SUCH AS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION PLACED IN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME VEHICLES AND NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS???? *JS
