2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING FROM JACKSON MS TO VICKSBURG MS AND THE CAR STOP PULLING. SHE WAS ALMOST RAMMED IN THE REAR,THE CAR COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX TRANSMISSION STOP PULLING FORWARD OR REVERSE. I HAD IT PULLED TO VICKSBURG HONDA,THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DTC P0730 CODE, HE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DECLINE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THERE WAS OVER 200 COMPLAINT LODGED AGAINST THIS TRANSMISSION. HONDA IS AWARE OF IT AND REFUSES TO DO ANY THING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS 83,204 MILES. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT HONDA AUTOMATIC VEHICLES TRANSMISSION AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORST IS THE RESPONSE I GET FROM HONDA. *TR

HONDA CIVIC 2001 TRANSMISSION FAILURE : HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING MY CAR WITH REGULAR SERVICE SCHEDULES. SPOKE TO OTHER FOLKS WHO OWN A CIVIC AND THEY TOO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WAS PICKING UP SPEED, THE CAR JUST WONT MOVE. I REQUEST YOU TO ACT ON THIS BEFORE WE START LOSING LIVES.

I WAS DRIVING ON 101 NB WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND THERE WAS JAM AS I APPROACHED INTERSECTION OF 101 AND 85, SO I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN BEHIND OTHER CAR. WHILE SLOWING DOWN, I NOTICED THAT THE RADIO WAS GONE AND THEN CAME BACK ON AFTER FEW SECONDS. THEN ABS AND RSR LIGHTS STARTED TO BLINK, THE CAR SEEMED TO LOOSE THE POWER, ALL NEEDLES (TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER) CAME DOWN TO 0 AND FINALLY THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. I PRESSED EMERGENCY LIGHT BUT IT WASN'T WORKING. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING WITH THE CAR STOPPED IN SECOND LANE FROM LEFT AND EMERGENCY LIGHT NOT WORKING. THERE WAS NOT WARNING SIGN THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP RUNNING, I COULDN'T PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I CALLED 911, WHILE WAITING TO GET THROUGH, SUDDENLY THE ALL LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I THEN STARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. SO I HAD THE EMERGENCY LIGHT ON, TOOK EXIT AND DROVE BACK HOME. AND WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME, THE CAR AGAIN SEEMED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, FORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T STOP AND I REACHED HOME SAFELY. I AM SO SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR WORSE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEED AND THERE WAS NO HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND SUDDENLY MY CAR STOP RUNNING, I COULD GET INTO FATAL ACCIDENT AS WELL AS OTHER WHO MIGHT HAVE INVOLVED. MY CAR HAS ONLY 68,000 MILES AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE ADDRESSED SOON ENOUGH, OTHERWISE SOME LIVES WILL BE LOST. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT ON THE HONDA CIVIC HAS BEEN ON. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT IT IS ON AGAIN. ALSO THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINT FROM THE HONDA OWNER. NEED TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE FATAL ACCIDENT HAPPEN. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW HONDA CIVIC EX BACK IN 2001. I CHANGE THE OIL TRANSMISSION EVERY 15,000 MILES WITH HONDA TRANSMISSION OIL. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKAGE AROUND THE TRANSMISSION BLOCK. THE CAR HAS ONLY 67,000 MILE. MY SON WAS TRAVELING ON TWO-WAY ROAD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, I COULDN'T IMAGINE IF HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. AT FIRST, I THINK THIS INCIDENT WAS RARE, AND ONLY HAPPENED TO MY CIVIC, BUT WHEN I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, THEN I THOUGHT THAT THIS MUST BE A BIGGER ISSUE CONCERNING PUBLIC SAFETY THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I WAS LEAVING MY HOME AND DRIVING ABOUT 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION. MY CAR HAD BEEN FUNCTIONING NORMALLY EARLIER IN THE DAY. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AS I WENT UP A SMALL HILL. WITHIN 1/4 MILE THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED (TRANSMISSION FAILURE) AND I HAD POWER TO THE ENGINE BUT NO FORWARD POWER. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD ONLY GET TO SAFETY AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY COASTING. HAD I BEEN ON A MORE HEAVILY TRAFFIC ROAD, OR ON A STEEP HILL OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY HERE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MANY INJURED OR DEATHS AS I WAS A SITTING DUCK IN THE ROAD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND CRASHING INTO A VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT FENDER. THERE WERE 3 INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 85190.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IT WAS JUST LIKE THE CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO GEARS WORKED, TRIED DRIVE, LOW, L2, REVERSE. THE CAR ROLLED JUST LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC RECENTLY DIED ON ME ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. MY 6 YEAR DAUGHTER WAS A PASSENGER AS WELL. AS I DROVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR'S ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE SPEED DECLINED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC IT WAS MY TORQUE CONVERTER THAT FAILED. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND I SEE THAT SEVERAL IF NOT ALL 2001 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO MANEUVER AS QUICKLY AS I DID AT A DECREASING SPEED ME AND MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! HONDA NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL ON THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY; BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS CAR AND THIS ISSUE HONDA SHOULD MAKE A RECALL ORDER. MY ESTIMATED PRICE FOR REPAIR IS $2000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS 118K MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. IN 2006, THE CONTACT HAD HER VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO A VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUED FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
