WE WERE NEAR THOUSAND OAKS ON HWY 101 SO CAR TAKEN TO PEP BOYS WHICH WAS OPEN (IT WAS A SUNDAY). THEY COULD NOT FIX TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SO MONDAY THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LEON TRANSMISSION. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK, REPAIRED IT AND CHARGED ME $2920. I HAD TO RENT A CAR THAT SUNDAY BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET TO LAX TO PICK UP TWO UNACCOMPANIED MINORS ARRIVING FROM PORTLAND OR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR TROUBLE CODES P0740 TC AND P0700 TRANSMISSION FAULT. REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND CONVERTER INSTALLED. WHEN I PICKED UP THE REPAIRED VEHICLE ON SATURDAY JUL 27, I DROVE IT FOR A LITTLE OVER 30 MILES AND IT FAILED AGAIN. TOWED THE CAR BACK TO LEON'S TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THERE IS ANOTHER ERROR CODE, P1361, TDC SENSOR WHICH THEY COULD NOT FIX BUT ANOTHER MECHANIC WAS OPEN AND REPLACED THE TCD SENSOR. THIS REPAIR COST $306. FINALLY, AFTER A WEEK AND $3226, I DROVE MY CAR BACK HOME,150 MILES FROM WHERE I LEFT THE VEHICLE A WEEK EARLIER. I NEEDED A CAR SO HAD TO RENT A CAR FROM ENTERPRISE FOR A WEEK. *JS

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR PART TO COMPLETE RECALL PROBLEMS. *SMD THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, SINCE SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER. *JB

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CHECKING THE CODE AND THE FLUIDS WE CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO ISSUES. THE CODE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. AFTER 15 MILES THE CARS TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WITH NO WARNING LEAVING US STRANDED IN A TOWN WITH NO HONDA DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE HONDA THE INFLATOR IN THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON 6/2/2014 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THIS HONDA IS NOT NEAR TO MY HOME AND I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE CAR THE SAME DAY. I THEN CALLED THE 800 NUMBER TO ENSURE THAT I COULD BE SEEN AT THE YONKERS HONDA AND THAT THE CAR COULD BE DONE THE SAME DAY SINCE THIS SITE HAD TOLD ME THAT OTHERS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FIRST REGARDLESS WEATHER I GOT THERE FIRST OR NOT. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FROM THE 800 NUMBER THIS MONDAY JUNE 9, 2014 AND AFTER AN HOUR OF WAITING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER ANGRY THAT I HAD TO WAIT AN ENTIRE WEEK THE PERSON AT THE 800 NUMBER SAID SORRY MISCOMMUNICATION. AT THIS TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE HONDA IN YONKERS TOLD ME NO NOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST INSPECTED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS LATER. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HAS 38,000 MILES. I'M ITS ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA IS TAKING A SHORT CUTS KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE LIGHT I'M REALLY DISTRESSED THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE REALLY DEFECTIVE ALTOGETHER AND EVEN IF THE INFLATOR IS REPLACED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL IN SOME WAY CAUSE INJURY TO ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I SPOKE THE HONDA 800 REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS HIGHLY DISMISSED L

AFTER HAVING MOTHERS DAY BREAKFAST WITH MY FIANCE OUR CHILD AND ME. I WAS DRIVING ALL OF US HOME WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AS WE WERE ON A MAJOR ROAD AND 4 CARS HAD TO AVOID HITTING MY VEHICLE THANK GOD I HAD QUICK THINKING AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON SINCE I DID HAVE MY THREE YEAR OLD IN THE BACKSEAT. I ALMOST MADE IT OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY BEFORE I HAD TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND MY FIANCE HAD TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AS I PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD THANKFULLY A GENTLEMAN GOT OUT OF HIS TRUCK AND HELPED US AS WE NEARLY ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE COST ME OR MY FAMILY TO BE EXTREMELY INJURED AND THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HONDA NEGLECTS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BAFFLES ME. IF THE EXECUTIVE'S AT HONDA HAD THERE FAMILY IN A CAR AND GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE IS FIT TO PUT INTO THEIR VEHICLES I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THE SAME OUTLOOK ON NOT ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS PART. HONDA NEEDS TO WISE UP BEFORE THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAUSES SOMEONE TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR CAUSES THEM TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. PLEASE HONDA ISSUE A RECALL. IT'S MONEY IT'S NOT WORTH PEOPLE GETTING HURT DRIVING YOUR VEHICLES. *TR

BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX IN THE END OF SUMMER OF 2013 FOR MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE HAD STARTED COLLEGE. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD AND BEEN RECOMMENDED TO BUY A HONDA. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT-OUT. SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON HER WAY TO SCHOOL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO HESITATE AND STUTTER ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SHE ALMOST HAD AND ACCIDENT. WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $2,652. I HAD TO USE MY INCOME AND PART OF MY DAUGHTER'S LAST FEW DOLLARS TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. NOW THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. I FEAR FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY. THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ON A SPECIFIC ISSUE (TRANSMISSION FAILURE) SHOULD HAD BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED, INSTEAD THEY ARE STILL POSING A THREAT TO NOT JUST OUR SAFETY, BUT TO ALSO THE PUBLIC. THIS TRANSMISSION IS STILL HURTING THE PEOPLE'S WALLETS AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINT THAT EVEN AFTER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY MY DAUGHTER MIGHT NOT GET SO LUCKY AND HAVE AND ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE EASILY FIXED BY IMPOSING A RECALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD POSING AND THREAT TO THE PEOPLE'S SAFETY. *TR

NEW TIMING BELT, HEAD GASKET, BRAKES, ENGINE MOUNTS, BUSHINGS, TIRES, AC COMPRESSOR, BELTS, ETC. ETC. SO AFTER SPENDING OVER $2500.00 IN REPAIRS I THOUGHT I HAD A PERFECTLY RUNNING SAFE VEHICLE. AND IT DID RUN BEAUTIFULLY UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT AROUND 45 MPH WITHOUT ANY SIGN OR INDICATION OF TROUBLE I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK FROM UNDER THE CAR AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. LUCKILY, WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC AROUND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID PORING OUT FROM BELOW. I HAD AAA TOW THE CAR TO A RELIABLE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ROUGH ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR $2000. - $2600. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS SHOCKED AND ANGRY. AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT I'M NOT ALONE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS, PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC. HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DESIGN FLAW FOR YEARS AND MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LEAVING IT'S CUSTOMERS IN DANGER WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION.. *TR

I RECENTLY BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC'S TRANSMISSION. I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD HESITATED AND STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY ANGRY TO LEARN THAT VEHICLES HONDA MANUFACTURED BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1999-2004 HAVE WIDESPREAD COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND ASKED WHAT HONDA WOULD DO TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COST OF REPAIRING THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THIS VEHICLES WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME IN MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT SUDDENLY, MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BEFORE ON A RECALL CAMPAIGN. NOW MY QUESTION IS CAN THIS PROBLEM BE FIXED AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE? AND IS THERE A BETTER FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM?

THE VEHICLE GAUGE CLUSTER READS THE WRONG INFORMATION. IT CAUSED ME TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 65 MPH. I COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF FUEL AND THE GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT.

I SHIFTED BACK AND FORTH FROM D TO D3 A FEW TIMES AND THE CAR POPPED BACK INTO GEAR. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE NEXT FREEWAY EXIT AND GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. PARKED IT AND THEN HAD IT TOWED. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC, WITH 163,000 MILES ON IT AND REGULARLY SERVICED, LAST TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 150,000. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE REV'S BUT NO MOTION, GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVER TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT. CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000.00. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 160,000 MILES. THEN I SEE ON HERE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS ON THE HONDA CIVIC. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEM. *JB

COMPLAINT: SPENT $4000 TO COMPLETELY REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION AT 96,800 MILES LAST SPRING AND AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME EARLY SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE A YEAR LATER. THERE WAS NO ENGINE/WARNING LIGHT TO WARN ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS, STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE AND WAS RUNNING ROUGHER THAN NORMAL. I?M LUCKIER THAN A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THIS ISSUE BEFORE MY TRANSMISSION FELL OUT OF MY CAR OR STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING. I THINK IF 600+ PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT A VERY OBVIOUS ENGINE FAILURE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM CURRENTLY SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS GETTING STUCK WHILE SWITCHING GEARS AND HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING IN BETWEEN THE GEARS. AND IS JUST GENERALLY RUNNING ROUGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION IN A HONDA AT 96,800 MILES LET ALONE AGAIN AT 124,000 AFTER JUST OVER A YEAR. MY CAR WAS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH LAST SPRING WHEN I FIXED IT BUT CHOOSE TO DO IT THINKING I?D BE SET FOR THE REST OF THE CAR?S LIFE. NOW I?M LOOKING AT HAVING TO SELL IT FOR SCRAPS AND GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I CAN NOT SHELL OUT ANOTHER $4,000 TO FIX A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. *JB

UPON ENTERING EXPRESSWAY, GOING TO CHANGE LANES - TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED. NOTHING BUT ENGINE REVING WHEN PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. ALMOST GOT KILLED DUE TO TRUCK HAVING TO STOP AS WE COASTED OFF HIGHWAY. UPON HAVING VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER (HONDA LISLE) AND GOING ON LINE I FIND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS.

VEHICLE IS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. REGULAR SERVICE, NO MAJOR REPAIRS PRIOR. ON DAY OF INCIDENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN RPM BUT GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP BY TOW TRUCK AND CODES WERE RUN BY DEALER ON 4/15/2013. CODE FOR "INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE" WAS FOUND. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $4500. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 4/15/2013 FOR INFORMATION ABOUT REPAIR COST REDUCTION. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPORTED THAT DUE TO VEHICLE AGE AND MILEAGE A GOODWILL REPAIR COULD NOT BE PERFORMED, NO EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE AS VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL OR 2006 HONDA TRANSMISSION SETTLEMENT, NOR COST LOWERED BY DEALER VIA INTERVENTION FROM CORPORATE OFFICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT SINCE NO OFFICIAL RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *I REQUEST THE NHTSA TO PERFORM AN INSPECTION OF THIS PROBLEM AS MANY NORMALLY DRIVEN 2001 HONDA CIVICS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHICH MAY BE DUE TO A TRANSMISSION DEFECT IN MANUFACTURE MANIFESTING AFTER 10-12 YEARS AND/OR >90,000 MILES. HONDA VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY, IN SOME CASES LASTING WELL BEYOND 200,000 MILES AND 12 YEARS OF TROUBLE-FREE DRIVING. MANY ARE NOW FACED WITH JUNK YARD OR SALVAGE DUE TO THE PROBLEM OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR
