Honda Civic transmission problems

2002 HONDA CIVIC (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2009 WITH 72K MILES. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. THERE WERE NO INDICATORS PRIOR TO THIS WHICH IS WHY IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND SEEMED OK FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND FOR TAKING IN TO BE REPAIRED. IT IS NOW 2010, 99K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON YET AGAIN AND THE CAR SOUNDS ROUGH WHEN ITS IDLING OR MOVING. HONDA REFUSES TO ASSIST WITH ANY OF THE COST. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SHE APPROACHED A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE CHANGING GEARS. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER SHE REACHED 20 MPH AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. SHE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE EXAMINED FOR THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 117,000.

2002 HONDA CIVIC GX BEGAN LOSING POWER, THREW ENGINE CODE 1890 AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BADLY IN 3RD GEAR. INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE EITHER A NEW OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA DEALER SAID AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERED UP TO 105,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS, WHICHEVER WAS LESS. THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME ON ANY OTHER EXTENDED WARRANTIES AVAILABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 75,913.

SINCE MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID RECEIVED THE BATTERY SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPGRADE IN LATE 2010, THE CAR HAS HAD GREATLY REDUCED AVAILABLE POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE FUEL EFFICIENCY HAS REDUCED BY ~10 MPG, WHICH IS INFURIATING, BUT THERE IS A LARGER SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED BATTERY POWER AVAILABLE FOR ACCELERATION. INTERMITTENTLY, BUT REPEATEDLY, WHEN ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP TO TURN LEFT THROUGH A GAP IN TRAFFIC OR TO MERGE ON A FREEWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE RAMP, A DANGEROUS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE ENGINE-BATTERY COMBINATION DOES NOT SUPPLY ADEQUATE POWER AND ACCELERATION. I WAS NEARLY SIDE-SWIPED THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE BATTERY UPDATE WHEN I WAS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE AT THE UTTER LACK OF POWER AS I TRIED TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC. MY HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE MY COMPLAINTS AND REQUESTS TO REVERT THE SOFTWARE TO THE OLD VERSION, WITH WHICH MY CAR WORKED FINE. *TR

2003 CIVIC HYBRID WITH CVT HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (EVEN SLIGHT ACCELERATION), THE WHOLE CAR WILL SHUDDER AND HARSH SLIPPING FEEL WILL START UNTIL THE CAR GETS MOVING A BIT. FAR WORSE WHEN STARTING ON AN INCLINE FROM A STOP. HONDA REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 40K MILES, BUT IT QUICKLY BEGAN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT AROUND 70K MILES AND HAS BEEN HAVING THE ISSUE EVER SINCE. GETTING A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE HELPED A BIT, BUT IT IS COSTLY TO CONTINUE CHANGING THAT FLUID AT EARLIER THAN THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED 30K MILE INTERVALS. *TR
