I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN TO GET IT MOVING. BUT, AS SOON AS I STOPPED AGAIN, IT STOPPED MOVING...TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT BARELY MOVED ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET A TOW. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A SHOP, BUT WAS TOLD LATER THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS MOVING AGAIN. SO, I CONTACTED A FRIEND WHO KNOWS HONDA'S AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS YEAR AND MAKE HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THAT IT'S LIKELY I'LL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY, THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MILEAGE AND I'M IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS MILD. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT HONDA HASN'T HAD AN OFFICIAL RECALL. I WANT THEM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS WITH MY SEVENTY TWO YEAR OLD MOM WHO HAS DEMENTIA AND SHE WAS TERRIFIED. SO I'M ANGRY TO SAY THE LEAST.

WHEN I TURN RIGHT CORNER ON 4-21 2015 AT 11 AM AT 15 TO 20 MILES A HOUR MY LOWER A -ARM BROKE FELL DOWN AND MY AXEL BROKE. AND THE TIER COME OUT 4 INCHES AND THE FENDER WAS BROKE AND FRONT BUMPER CAP WAS TORN OFF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. AND THE FRONT HOOD AND FENDER WHERE DAMAGE .THE A ARM WAS NOT WELDED WHERE IT BROKE AND THE LITTLE BIT THAT WAS WELDED BROKE IN THE WELD CAUSING MY DAMAGE TO MY HONDA CIVIC. *TR

ON APRIL 8 2015 WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOUSE, I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD SO I HAD TO DESPERATELY STOP THE CAR I RUN. MY CAR WAS CALL FOR RECALL AND I WHEN TO HONDA SERVICES IN HILLSIDE, NEW JERSEY WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO FIX SOMETHING FROM THE AIR BAG IN THE DASH BOARD THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER SOME PARTS AND THEY WILL CALL ME TO COMEBACK SO I WAIEDT FOR ONE MONTH AND TWO MONTH AND THEY NEVER CALL ME I CALLED TO FIND OUT ABOUT THOSE PARTS AND I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CALL ME I BELIEVE MY CAR WAS TOTAL DESTROY IN FIRE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT FIX MY CAR ON TIME. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 3/23/15, WHICH I BOOKED ONLINE. I WAS ABLE TO BOOK MY RECALL SERVICE FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATER ONLINE AS WELL, WHICH NO ISSUES. I WAS ASKED WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE CAR IF I HAD CALLED TO ORDER PARTS, I HAD NOT AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION WHEN I BOOKED THAT I NEEDED TO DO SO. I WAS SIMPLY TOLD PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED FOR ME AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE IN. AFTER TWO WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON MY ORDERED PARTS, I WAS TOLD PARTS CAN TAKE "2 TO 3 DAYS OR ONE TO TWO MONTHS" TO GET IN DUE TO A BACKLOG. I CONTACTED HONDA VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME. TWO WEEKS LATER I STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE PARTS, HEAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR HEAR FROM ANYONE IN HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MY INITIAL RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING, DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND YET DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS I AM STILL STUCK WITH FAULTY PARTS AND NO TIMELINE FOR REPAIRS. A TWO MONTH WAIT FOR PARTS IN A DANGEROUS RECALL IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY LEAVES ME LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE PARTS AS I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THEIR DANGER BUT OTHERWISE UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. *TR

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ENGINE REV WENT TO 3000 RPM WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. KEPT CAR STATIONARY BY PRESSING HARD ON THE BREAK. FIRST AND ONLY OCCURRENCE; ALSO ALMOST THE FIRST AND ONLY DAY THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONAL. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,500. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY HONDA CIVIC SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE DRIVING ON A NARROW, CURVY, HILLY HIGHWAY IN THE SNOW, SO THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT LUCKILY DID NOT. THE CAR WAS GOING AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND CAME TO A STOP. A PASSERBY KINDLY HELPED US PUSH THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC WHILE CARS WERE WHIZZING BY, ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE WERE 60 MILES FROM HOME, AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WANTS $2,200 TO REPLACE THE BAD TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT CAUSED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY THE HIGH BEAMS DUE TO THE FAILURE, WHICH WAS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V086000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). PRIOR TO THE CONTACT OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ACCELERATING. WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS THE ENGINE WAS REVVING BUT THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. AS I WAS ONLY A SHORT WAY FROM AN EXIT, I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, DOWN THE EXIT RAMP, AND TO THE STOP LIGHT PRIOR TO THE LOCAL ROADS AS THE CAR WOULD STILL DRIVE BUT ONLY LESS THAN 40 MPH. UPON GETTING TO THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR NO LONGER RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL GOING FORWARD, I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP TO A SPACE IN BETWEEN TURN LANES. I PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND CALLED TRIPLE A FOR A TOW TRUCK. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO BODY WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAD GONE, TO THEIR SURPRISE AS THE CAR IS IN "GREAT CONDITION". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BITTER COLD DAY, AND SOON AFTER I LEFT IT DID NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND THE RPMS WERE NOT RESPONDING APPROPRIATELY. HOWEVER, IT SOON "NORMALIZED", AND I FIGURED IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD, WHICH HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. NOT BUT A FEW MILES INTO MY DRIVE, WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL IN A SCHOOL ZONE, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING/MOVING. THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND I COULD NOT ENGAGE INTO ANY GEAR - NOT EVEN REVERSE - SO I WAS STUCK ON THE MIDDLE OF THIS HILL. I TURNED ON MY 4-WAY FLASHERS AND HAD TO COAST BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL, WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND MANEUVERED MY CAR INTO EXIT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHILE BUSES WERE TRYING TO LEAVE. THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO KIDS USING THE CROSSWALK. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO INDICATION LIGHTS, NO WAY TO PREPARE FOR THIS SCARY EVENT. ON THE COLDEST DAY EVER RECORDED IN HISTORY, I HAD TO WAIT OVER AN HOUR FOR IT TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED ON ME AND IN HIS OPINION, WAS NOT WORTH THE MONEY TO POUR INTO THIS PROBLEMATIC 2001 HONDA CIVIC, APPARENTLY THE MOST RECALLED CAR. I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAR, AND PURCHASED IT AFTER COLLEGE WITH THE HOPES OF HAVING THE RELIABLE HONDA STAY WITH ME FOR THE LONG HAUL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V700000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, AFTER THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF AN CIVIC 2001 LX WITH 159,000 MILES. IT STARTED SMELLING OBNOXIOUS GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. THE DEALER FINDINGS WERE, THE FUEL FILTER CRACKED. ESTIMATED REPAIR OF $541.00, THEY ADVISED ME TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED ALSO, THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED BY THEM SINCE DAY ONE. THE SERVICE DISORDER SUGGESTED TO ME TO CONTACT HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM TO THEM SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DID CONTACT HONDA THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THANKS SO MUCH, *TR

THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (METRO HONDA, JERSEY CITY, NJ) FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL, BUT AFTER I LEFT, THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. ON MY NEXT VISIT I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEED A NEW SRS SYSTEM, AT A COST OF $730+ AND THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE COST. AND, UNTIL I FIX THE SRS SYSTEM, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED HONDA ON NOVEMBER 10, 2014, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. SO, NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

STARTED CAR DROVE IT TO WORK, ABOUT A MILE INTO DRIVE ENGINE STALLED, CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER, THEN STALL AGAIN. TOOK TO MECHANIC, IT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. 1997-2000 HONDA CIVIC MODELS WERE INVOLVED IN A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, I WONDER IF 2001 SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AS WELL. *TR

IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT MY CAR IS SLIPPING GEARS BETWEEN 1-2, 2-3, AND 3-4. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE HONDA DEALER BEFORE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. *TR

I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH MY CAR BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF ON A STATE HIGHWAY JUST AFTER DAWN, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR, APPROACHING A CURVE TO THE RIGHT. I HAD JUST EXECUTED A CURVE TO THE LEFT AND WAS STRAIGHTENING THE WHEEL WHEN THE STEERING FROZE, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL. GOING OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT, I BOUNCED FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE CRASHING INTO A DITCH. TWO CARS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, I UNFASTENED MY SEATBELT, TOOK MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF. THEN THE DRIVERS HELPED ME OUT THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. LATER WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE DRIVER TOLD ME TO STEER THE VEHICLE AS HE PULLED IT UP OUT OF THE DITCH TOWARD HIS TRUCK. I TOLD HIM IT WAS FROZEN, AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STEER IT. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE ON, THE STEERING COLUMN WAS NO LONGER LOCKED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT FROZE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, BUT I DON'T THINK SO BECAUSE I REMEMBER TURNING THE KEY OFF RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE OF FEAR OF FIRE. I DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL BUT CALLED MY CHIROPRACTOR AND BEGAN TREATMENT THAT AFTERNOON. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC LX DRIVERS SEAT BELT FASTENER, THAT IS MOUNTED TO THE SIDE OF THE SEAT AND THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY ATTACH. *MW THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TO HIT THE LATCH PLATE WITH HIS FIST, INTO THE FASTENER OPENING OR THE BUCKLE SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO HOLD ONTO OR TO PERMANENTLY ATTACH. *JB

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SRS SENSOR IS ON. THOUSANDS OF 2001 HONDA CIVIC SRS SENSORS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX THAT I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DEALER IN THE SPRING OF 2014 AFTER FIXING A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I NOW HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT NOT LATCHING IN COLD CONDITIONS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS I GET AN SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH WHICH MAKES THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM INOPERABLE MEANING IF THERE WOULD BE A CRASH THE SAFETY SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THERE SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD TALK OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY OTHER HONDA CIVICS IN THE ONLINE FORUMS I LOOKED AT. IF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS WORTHY OF A RECALL WOULDN'T MALFUNCTIONING SEAT BELTS BE JUST AS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED AT HONDA'S CORPORATE SITE UNDER SAFETY AND THEY STATE "SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY" I JUST TALKED WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER AND PAY THE $100.00 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND ALSO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ON TOP OF THAT. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE COMPANY THAT SAYS SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY TO ME. I HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH SEATBELT LATCHING ON ANY OTHER BRAND OF VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR OWN STATEMENTS ON THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS THE ONLY AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ADJUSTERS BECAME FRACTURED DURING THE CRASH, WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO FALL IN REVERSE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INTERNAL BRUISING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER ALSO SUSTAINED A HERNIATED AND BULGING DISC IN THE NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

8/19/14-GAS SMELL BAD MILEAGE-REPAIR SHOP REPLACED GAS CAP. STILL SMELLED GAS. BROUGHT TO HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICES AND STATED SMELL OF GAS, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND SAID WE MAY HAVE OVERFILLED TANK, MUST HAVE SPILLED GAS DOWN SIDE, OR THE POOR GAS MILEAGE COULD BE THE WAY WE DRIVE THE CAR. 5/11/2015-127,148 MILES- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT-HAD CHARCOAL CANISTER & VENT SOLENOID REPLACED. 5/13/2015-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON. APPARENTLY KNOW PROBLEM WITH LEAKING GAS/FUMES HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED MODELS AFFECTED WITH EXCEPTION OF HONDA ODYSSEY. MUCH OF MY RESEARCH EFFECTING 98-2002 MODELS. TSB'S ( TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN'S ) 01-011 ( EVAP CONTROL CANISTER VENT SHUT VALVE 98-99 MODELS ) AND 03-001 ( EVAP BYPASS SOLENOID VALVE 98-02 SINCE CODE AND DIAGNOSING PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT AND BASICALLY HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES AS LEAKING GAS/FUMES IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

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 LIKE JUST THE INFLATOR . COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I BELIEVE HONDA IS DECEPTIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY AND I NOW A HAD A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING AN APPT. I HAVE TO RETURN HONDA'S CALL BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE PART, WHAT ABOUT THE LIGHTS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EXTRA AS A CONSUMER ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR SOME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

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

DROVE TWO MILES, THEN CAME TO A STOP LIGHT, I STOPPED, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE GEARS WERE GONE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD.

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
