CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE, NO WARNING. THERE ARE LISTS AND LISTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH KIND OF MAKE AND MODEL OF HONDA. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

TIRE HAS A LARGE 4INCH BULGE ON SIDEWALL. APPEARS TO BE FROM BELT SEPARATING ON INSIDE OF TIRE. TIRE IS ONLY 3/32 WORN ON TREAD. TIRES WERE ALREADY CHANGED OUT BY THE TIRE KINGDOM IN SEFFNER, FL FOR THE SAME CONCERN NOW TIRES APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. *TR

NEITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED SEAT BELT BRUISES ACROSS CHEST. CAR APPEARS TO BE TOTALED (PRIOR TO OFFICIAL CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT). *TR

WITHIN THE SPAN OF 2 MILES MY TRANSMISSION WENT FROM NORMAL TO NOT WORKING. MY CAR BEGAN TO REV HIGH WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS AND TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO SHIFT GEARS, AND THEN STOPPED WORKING AT ALL AND MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE. I WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER, SO FOR THE NEXT HOUR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I BLOCKED A LANE OF HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH A RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR. CONSUMER STATES THAT SHE WAS INFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE AND THERE WAS NO OTHER DEFECT. UPON SERVICE SHE WAS INFORMED THE DEFECT WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY. *KB ***NAR***

IN THE SPAN OF 2 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WENT FROM WORKING FINE TO HAVING NO GEARS THAT WORK. AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE I WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE BEN FRANKLIN BRIDGE TOWARDS CAMDEN, NJ IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS ONLY THROUGH SHEAR LUCK THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT UP THE UPSIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND THEN CROSS OVER 2 LANES TO THE RIGHT LANE AND COAST TO THE FIRST EXIT WHERE I WAS ONLY CLOGGING UP A SMALLER ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSE SOMETHING MUCH MORE HORRIFIC IF I HAD NOT MADE IT UP THE BRIDGE AND INTO THE RIGHT LANE. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC HAVING A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PARTICULAR MODEL AND HONDA CORPORATE IS WELL AWARE OF IT. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE REPAIR. MY SON EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WHILE ON HIS 5TH DAY AT HIS FIRST FULL TIME JOB. HE WAS ALONE IN A NEW CITY AND WE GAVE HIM THE BEST OF THE 4 CARS IN THE FAMILY, BELIEVING IT WAS THE MOST RELIABLE ONE! NOW WE ARE LOOKING AT A REPAIR BILL OF $2,800, RENTAL CAR BILL AND TOLL TRUCK BILL. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT HE WAS NOT TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED AND HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM WHEN IT HAPPENED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT (ILLEGAL THOUGH). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,204 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,205.UPDATED 08/04/08. *LJ UPDATED 08/06/08.

2001 HONDA CIVIC, 98,000 MILES. STARTED TO LOSE POWER WHILE IN GEAR BUT IN NEUTRAL ENGINE HAS FULL POWER.. WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE WHEN CAR STARTED TO LOSE SPEED AND POWER DURING RUSH HOUR.. HONDA SERVICE FIRST SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING FINE AND THE PROBLEM I WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEN AFTER THAT WAS REPAIRED THE CAR LOST POWER AGAIN AND NOW HONDA SERVICE THEN TELLS ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AFTER ALL THAT FAILED. SO AFTER $1200 IN UNNEEDED REPAIRS I NOW HAVE A $2900.00 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ... THIS IS JOKE SINCE I WOULD ASSUME THAT HONDA DEALERS AND SERVICE MANAGERS WOULD BE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC. HAD I KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A GROWING AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2001 CIVIC TRANSMISSIONS. I WOULD HAVE WOULD HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL WITH THE HONDA DEALER OPPOSED TO TAKING HIS WORD THAT IT WAS WORKING FINE... *TR
