Honda Civic transmission problems

WAS REENTERING HIGHWAY 5 NORTH IN ORANGE COUNTY CA AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP POWER AS I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THEN THE CAR STARTED LOSING WHAT LITTLE POWER THAT IT HAD AND I WAS ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY RE-EXIT THE FREEWAY AND TAKE SIDE STREETS ATTEMPTING TO RETURN TO THE GAS STATION I HAD LEFT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN A TURN LANE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE AND PARKED IT. THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSE IT STATING THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND REPLACED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND SHE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50000.

I FEEL A BIG JERK WHEN DECELERATE MY CAR FROM 70MILES/HOUR WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT I FEEL THAT IF THE CAR BREAKS DOWN AS A RESULT OF THIS JERK OR IF THE JERK IS STRONG ENOUGH, THEN I MAY RUN INTO SOME ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I TOOK THE CARE TO HONDA DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN DURING TEST DRIVE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. IT LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CAR DETAIL: HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2003. IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE 30,000 MILE SERVICE TO A HONDA DEALER, AFTER ABOUT A WEEK I STARTED TO NOTICE PROBLEMS WITH MY CARS ACCELERATION SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT TO MY SURPRISE. I TOLD THEM I HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE I BROUGHT IN, THAT ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER THE SERVICE. WELL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE SERVICE MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND THEY DID NOT TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. MY CONCERN IS IF MY CAR IS GETTING ITS REGULAR SERVICES AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND MY TRANSMISSION IS STILL GOING OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON THEN THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE CARS TRANSMISSION. EVEN WHEN I CALLED TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR THE COST THEY TRANSMISSION PLACES WERE TELLING ME THAT THERE IS ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS TRANSMISSIONS THAT THEY HAD JUST FIXED ABOUT 3 OTHER CARS THAT WEEK. AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THE FIRST IT WAS UN WARRANTY AND MY CAR HAD 14,00 MILES. HONDA SHOULD DEFIANTLY DUE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR BE SOME SORT OF REIMBURSEMENT OF SOME SORT. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN 2006 WITH 21,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 56,000 MILES (1/27/08). TOLD NEEDED TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED AGAIN AT 89,000 (2/4/09) MILES, REQUIRING ANOTHER TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL. 6 MONTHS LATER EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS (SHUDDERING/SHAKE/VIBRATION BETWEEN 30-50 MPH) AS BEFORE TOOK IT TO AAMCO TO GET AN OUTSIDE OPINION AND I AM TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING AND IF NOT REPLACED WILL CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ONCE AGAIN. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 124,000 MILES ON IT. SO MUCH FOR HONDA RELIABILITY. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A DEFECT ON. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED TO EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH EVEN THOUGH THE FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. A FEW TIMES WHERE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHE DIDN'T EXERT ENOUGH FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAUSED FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT INTENDED. LUCKILY THE ONLY INCIDENT HAVE BEEN MINOR WITH REGARDS TO THE BUMPER HITTING THE WALL OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIX ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A STEEP SLOPE THAT WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

1. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED, AND THE PROBLEM WAS HIDDEN FROM ME. 2. PROBLEM OCCURS EVERYDAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ABOUT 1500 RPMS WHEN COLD. A. SEATBELTS ARE HARD TO CLICK INTO MECHANISM B. INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN DRIVERS DOOR IS OPENED, BUT DOES WHEN PASSENGER DOOR IS OPEN.. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET, I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO MANY SHOPS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT I CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. *TW

HONDA CIVIC 2001 LX, 106,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, CAR JUST STOPPED. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY WANTED THE CAR TAKEN TO A HONDA DEALER AFTER I HAD SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TOWING IT FROM VIRGINIA BACK TO DELAWARE TO MY SON'S SHOP, WHO IS A MECHANIC. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR HAD TO BE DONE BY A HONDA DEALER LN ORDER FOR THEM TO EVEN CONSIDER HELPING WITH THIS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD MY SON DO ALL THE WORK ON MY CAR, SO I AM LEFT WITHOUT A CAR AND GETTING THE MONEY UP TO PUT THE SAME TYPE OF BAD TRANSMISSION BACK IN MY CAR SO I CAN SELL IT. THE WEBSITE AUTOBEEF.COM HAS NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THE HONDA CIVIC 2001. *TR
