Honda Civic transmission problems

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX MODEL. THE CAR STARTED TO SPEED UP/SLOW DOWN AND THEN STOPPED. IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER'2ND GEAR COMING OFF AND 3RD GEAR NOT COMING IN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I'VE READ THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE 2002 HONDA CIVIC AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I ALSO FOUND MANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I ONLY COPIED THE FEW THAT I THINK ARE SPECIFIC TO THE ISSUE THAT I HAD: # TSB #11012004 -- MANUAL TRANSMISSION GRINDS SHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR. HONDA SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10013656, NOVEMBER 01 2004) # TSB #204 -- 2ND TO 5TH OR 3RD TO 5TH GEAR UPSHIFT. *NM (NHTSA ID #10014230, FEBRUARY 16 2004) # TSB #02012004 -- SERVICE MANUAL FIX. MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAINSHAFT REASSEMBLY. CORRECTION TO JANUARY '04 ISSUE. HONDA SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10009134, FEBRUARY 01 2004) # TSB #01012004 -- MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAINSHAFT REASSEMBLY. SERVICE MANUAL FIX. HONDA. SERVICENEWS. *TT (NHTSA ID #10009080, JANUARY 01 2004) # TSB #10162004 -- GRINDS AT 2-3 UPSHIFT. *EH (NHTSA ID #10014470, OCTOBER 16 2004) IF HONDA KNOWS OF THE ISSUES WHY WON'T THEY RECALL AND MAKE NECESSARY REPAIRS? TURNS OUT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN HONDA CIVIC 2002 MODELS BUT HONDA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION NECESSARY AT 48,375 MILES! WELL, WE NEED THE CAR. THERE IS NO BUS TRANSPORTATION TO THE CITY. THE WORK WAS DONE ON 04/12/2010. THE COST TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT: PARTS AND ACCESSORIES: $1913.54 LABOR: $951.44 TAX: $68.33 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF: $2933.31. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $350.00 TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 70,000 CAR MAINTAINED TRANSMISSION FLUSHES AT DEALER X3 AT 35,000 / 50,000 / 69,000 DEALER STATES UNAWARE OF ANY TRANSMISSION DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE ALTHOUGH INTERNET SEARCH TURNS UP THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS MANUAL STATES NO FLUID CHANGE UNTIL 100,000 MILES NORMAL CONDITIONS SEVERE CONDITIONS A LITTLE MORE OFTEN. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX (136,000 MILES) SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. HIGH-PITCHED WHINE, THEN REVVING OF ENGINE, AND CAR WOULDN'T GO. I'VE MAINTAINED PERFECT SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR. MANY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF HOW 2001 CIVIC TRANSMISSIONS HAVE SIMILARLY FAILED RECENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE WILL REPLACE FOR $3500, BUT NO ASSISTANCE. *TR

I HAVE 2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH APPROXIMATELY 92,000 MILES. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND I NOTICED THAT IT WAS ACTING SLUGGISH. WHEN I CAN TO A STOP AND THEN TRIED TO GO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO PAST 5 MPH. THE RVM GAUGE WAS GOING UP BUT IT WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR SIGNS THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CURRENT WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST GAVE WAY ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS THEN ADVISED THAT 2001 CIVIC HAVE A LOT OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I DRIVE 30 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY, I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON THE STREETS. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC TO INSPECT. IT TURNED OUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DID NOTICE THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED AS USUAL AND WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTED, IT FELT SLIGHTLY OFF. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND MAINTAINED IT WELL. IT IS 9 YEARS OLD BUT HAS ONLY APPROX. 47,000 MILES WHEN I FOUND OUT I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA ASSOC. AND NOTIFIED THEM THE PROBLEM AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY SAID NO. I ALSO TOLD THEM THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH MY DAD'S 2001 HONDA CIVIC WHEN THE CAR WAS APPROX. 4 YRS. OLD AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WHO OWNS A HONDA ODYSSEY ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITHIN THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA'S HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY JUST BRUSHED IT OFF AND WERE NON-RESPONSIVE. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA CIVIC I HAVE OWNED AND WAS SO SURE I WILL BUY HONDA AGAIN BUT I KNOW FOR CERTAIN I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN. AND TO TOP IT OFF, I RECEIVED TWO RECALLS FOR THE CAR! THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THOSE YOU HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC, I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY WHEN THE CAR STARTED JERKING, THEN IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED. THE CAR BEGAN SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR UNTIL ALL I COULD DO WAS GO 5MPH UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH 91,530 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. THE COMPUTER FAULT CODES IN MY CAR ARE PO740-TCC CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION AND PO730-GEAR RATIO INCORRECT. THE INITIAL FAILURE OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER NOW CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. *TR
