WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, OUR 2006 HONDA CIVIC ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING FROM A DRIVEWAY, DID NOT COME TO A STOP. DESPITE PUTTING OUR FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND CONTINUED IN REVERSE. ONLY BY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE DID THE CAR STOP FROM CONTINUING INTO REVERSE. ON AUGUST 30, THE CAR WHEN PLACED INTO REVERSE GEAR WHEN BACKING FROM A PARKING SPACE, WENT FORWARD INSTEAD. OUR CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND SERVICED AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THIS. WE ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE CAR POSES A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN MOVING FROM A PARKED POSITION, MOVES IN A DIRECTION OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT THE DRIVER CHOOSES, AND DID NOT STOP WHEN MOVING IN REVERSE. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES TO DATE WITHIN THE MONTH WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS. *JS

HAD THE 3RD GEAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FIXED AT 45,000 MILES AND SINCE THEN IT HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN DIFFERENT. KEPT GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

THEY DID AN ESTIMATE FOR MY THROWOUT BEARING AND THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME SAYING THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE AT ALL, THAT I NEED IT A NEW TRANSMISSION. NOW THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO PAY THEM $4,000 IN TOTAL FOR LABOR AND TO PUT A NEW TRANS IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP AND HAD A FEW COMPLAINTS TOWARDS HONDA.
