The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal and brake pedal felt stiff and the vehicle had jolted while depressing the brake pedal before losing automotive power. The check engine, brake, transmission, and several other warning lights illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that after accelerating from a stop, the vehicle had jolted a day prior. The contact stated that an AAA service representative attempted to jump-start the vehicle however, the vehicle would lose automotive power once disconnected. The vehicle was towed to a local independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with codes: P1440 and P0AE1. The contact was advised by the independent mechanic that the failure was related to Service Bulletin: 20-030. The local dealer was contacted however advised that contact that the VIN was not included in the Service Bulletin. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

There is the second time we have a transmission failure for the 2014 Honda Civic . Even though my car vin is not shown in recall notice, there is a general recall for 2014-2015 honda civic/accord. Earlier I had another Honda which also had a transmission failure when my daughter was driving. Fortunately , there was no accident . I wrote to the American Honda to take back the car as we felt uncomfortable due to transmission failure However they took the CAR back and replaced the transmission system for that car. (I am searching my old record to get you the copy of the letter I sent to American Honda Corporation and needed time to provide the same)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN HER GARAGE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE DOWN A HILL ONTO A DIRT ROAD WHILE HER SON WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FIRST GEAR HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLED OUT OF THE GARAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,596.

THE HONDA CIVIC WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET WHEN IT WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. A FEW HOURS LATER THE CAR ALARM WAS GOING OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON I DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR HAD ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVE AND INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE POLICE IN MY JURISDICTION DO NOT TAKE ACCIDENT REPORTS FOR ACCIDENTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY THEREFORE A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT TAKEN. AFTER THE INCIDENT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A ACTIVE RECALL INVOLVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR ON OCTOBER 8, 2016 I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "DO NOT SELL" NOTE IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DUE TO THE RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO THE DOWNLOAD WHILE WE DID THE PAPERWORK. AFTER THIS INCIDENT INVOLVING THE WRECK THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO CHECKED THE DOWNLOAD AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DOWNLOAD WAS UP TO DATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWO DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTED WHICH THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES FOUND IN THE SYSTEM. THIS WAS DONE AT THE ADVICE OF HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CONTACTED ME TODAY AND STATED THAT AT THIS TIME THEY RECOMMEND PROCEEDING WITH AN INSURANCE CLAIM. I STATED THAT I THOUGHT THAT SINCE THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL AND THE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL FAILED THAT THEY WOULD WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO LOOK AT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE DEALER REPORTS AND IF THEY FOUND SOMETHING THEY WOULD CONTACT ME BACK WHICH SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME. WHAT'S TO SAY THE BRAKE WON'T FAIL AGAIN AND NEXT TIME THERE MAY BE SOMEONE BEHIND IT OR IN FRONT OF IT. *TR

2008 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE BLOCK FAILURE . *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE BLOCK PROBLEM SHOULD BE TREATED AS A RECALL DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND STALLED, HE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. AT THAT POINT, THE STEERING AND BRAKES BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THE CONSUMER STOPPED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY SHOWED HIM THE 4 PROBLEM AREAS OF THE ENGINE WHERE THE LEAKAGE OCCURRED. ALSO, THE BEARING ON THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PULLEY STARTED MAKING A NOISE. THE ENTIRE COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND AFTER 10 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD START. ON OCCASION, HE HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, AND HE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND START IN FIRST GEAR. *JB UPDATED 04/10/14

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING, HE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,808. UPDATED 11/21/13*LJ

MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN WASHINGTON DC. I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR; FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR $4700. THE COST FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WAS OUTRAGEOUS AND AFTER RESEARCHING POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE FAILURE, I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE WHICH CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS TO DAMAGE CLUTCHES IN THE TRANSMISSION. DURING MY RESEARCH, I READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO OWN A 2001 TO 2003 HONDA CIVIC AND STATED THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILED WHEN THEIR MILEAGE RANGED FROM 135K TO AS LOW AS 65K. ALTHOUGH HONDA ISSUED A 2004 RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS, IT EXCLUDED THE HONDA CIVIC; I AM OUTRAGED THAT HONDA KNEW ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS FROM HONDA CIVIC OWNERS BUT DELIBERATELY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FROM HONDA CIVIC OWNERS ABOUT THE LACK OF RELIABILITY OF THEIR CIVICS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS DEMONSTRATIVE OF A DEFECT. I HOPE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION INVESTIGATES THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE COMPLAINTS AND FORCES HONDA TO RECALL AND REPAIR VEHICLES/COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR REPAIRS. *TR UPDATED 01/23/13 UPDATED 02/19/13 UPDATED 08/21/13
