Honda Civic transmission problems

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC 2006 (LEASE) THIS CAR HAS 2 RECALL ONE ON 8/30/07 AND ON 11/07 BUT THE DEALER NEVER SENT ME ANY WARNING, NOTE, LETTER OR CALL TO NOTIFY THIS SITUATION, I READ THAT BY FED LAW THEY SHOULD CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW THE RICKS THAT THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE ME. I CALLED BECAUSE I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR KEYS CODE AND THEY TOLD ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID SORRY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFY ABOUT THIS I VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT GET NOTIFY AT ALL, I HAD 3 CARS WITH THE HONDA ALL 3 ARE LEASE CARS SO IT IS NOT EXCUSE THAT THEY CANNOT CONTACT ME ALSO I AM LIVING T THE SAME PLACE FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR AND I GOT MY HONDA BILL EVERY MONTH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REMAINS THERE TO DATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 48,000. UPDATED 06/02/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND EVEN THOUGH EDMUNDS.COM HAD A RUNNING BLOG APPARENTLY SIMILAR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. UPDATED 06/02/08 *TR

AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE AUTO TRANSMISSION IN MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME REACHING A SAFE PLACE. THE ONLY WARNING WAS WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED POORLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I NOTICED THAT SHIFTING PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AS I PROCEEDED TOWARD THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND WOULD COST $2,400 TO FIX. *TR

MY CAR GETS ALL OF ITS REQUIRED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. AS OF YESTERDAY WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. IT IS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH 115,000 MILES. I NOW HAVE TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION IN EXCESS OF $2500. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE SINCE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN APPROXIMATE LIFE OF ABOUT 200,000 MILES WITHOUT MAJOR INCIDENT. FURTHERMORE TO HAVE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CONSUMER REPORTS SUPPORT THIS CAR AND READING OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS SAME YEAR SAME MODEL CAR HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THE HONDA CORPORATION DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION IS REPREHENSIBLE. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX - 58,000 MILES ON VEHICLE - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE - VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN REVERSE AND ENGAGES IN 'DRIVE' MODE WHILE IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED GEARS HAVE FUSED AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IS 'BURNT'. VEHICLE IS HAVING A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD AT COST OF $1,950. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE BUSY CITY OF BALTIMORE WHEN I ACCELERATED AT A GREEN LIGHT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I HIT THE PEDAL AND JUST ROLLED VERY SLOWLY. I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO THE GARAGE OF MY WORK BUILDING WHERE I PARKED IT SAFELY. LEAVING WORK, THE CAR STARTED FINE AND I DROVE IT TO A MECHANIC TO INSPECT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. SEVERAL TIMES MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT GREEN LIGHTS. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND IT WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $3,000. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT 2001 HONDA CIVICS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRANSMISSION GOES WITH NO WARNING AND ENDANGERS UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS! I WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE CRASHED INTO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL, COMPENSATION OR A GOODWILL REPAIR TO ALL OWNERS OF 01 HONDAS. *TR

THE SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM ON THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC WILL OCCASIONAL REMAINED LOCKED AND NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO ANY GEAR. USUALLY I CAN GET IT TO FREE UP BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE WHILE OUT LATE AT NIGHT, IT WOULD NOT GO AT ALL, AND I HAD TO PUT A SCREWDRIVER INTO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE HOLE TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. *TR
