THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 04V086000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE DEFECT WAS CAUSED BY A CLUTCH DISC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE MECHANIC.

WE GOT INTO A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A SUV RECEIVING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BUT BOTH DEPLOYED IN THE OTHER CAR (SUV). THERE WERE TWO RECALLS FOR OUR HONDA CIVIC AIRBAGS IN 2010 AND 2013. IN BOTH RECALLS OUR HONDA CIVIC WAS SERVICED AND THE "DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR" WAS REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT COULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD BUT CAN DRIVE BACK. *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. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS SINCE I HAVE HAD ON EVERYTHING FROM THE FUEL INJECTION TO THE AIRBAGS. *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

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WONT GO OFF, NO BAD FUSES, IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET, AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN AN ACCIDENT OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN AND THE MIRROR FELL DOWN AND LANDED ON THE CONTACT'S LAP. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER IN REFERENCE TO THE INCIDENT BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000. UPDATED 01/14/14*LJ

WE ARE FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC CAR. WE MADE CONTACT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY LAST YEAR ABOUT THE SEVERE INJURIES THAT THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG CAUSED TO MY WIFE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. ON 11/14/2013, A NEGLIGENT DRIVER CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT PUT MY WIFE'S LIFE IN GRAVE DANGER. MY WIFE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY FELT PAIN IN HER ENTIRE BODY AND COULDN'T MOVE. POLICE AND PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED AND SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. UPON MEDICAL EXAMINATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE HAD A THORACIC BURST FRACTURE AT T12 AND A T11 COMPRESSION FRACTURE, FRACTURE TO R LAMINA AND PARS OF T12 AS WELL. SHE HAD A RIB FRACTURE AND PULMONARY CONTUSION. THESE WERE LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. SHE NEEDED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE SPINAL FUSION SURGERY FOR THE T10-L2 AREA OF HER SPINE. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTS THROUGH FAXES AND EMAIL AND EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS. THEY CONSISTENTLY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE FAX CONFIRMATION AND EMAIL SHOWING THAT DOCUMENTS WERE SENT SUCCESSFULLY TO AMERICAN HONDA. THEN ON 1/21/2015 MARION COOLEY FROM AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY CALLED AND SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE MY WIFE WITH COMPENSATION FOR HER MEDICAL INJURIES. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY DID ANY INVESTIGATION AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE US. MY WIFE HAS TO LIVE WITH PERMANENT LIMITATIONS DUE TO THE SPINAL INJURIES FROM THAT ACCIDENT FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. MY WIFE CAN NO LONGER CONDUCT HERSELF AS THE SAME PERSON BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INJURIES THAT THE AIRBAG CAUSED....UPDATED 02-03-15 *BF

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? I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BULBS WITH NO AVAIL. IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. BEING A SAFETY ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 57 MPH, THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED AND SUDDENLY BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION, WHO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAD MELTED. THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V086000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 205,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE AND MERGED SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BECAUSE OF THE DEALER COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,118.

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

MY DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A TURN AND HER HONDA CIVIC STARTING MOVING IN REVERSE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRANSMISSION WENT! THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND HER OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION. *TR

HONDA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE HOOD PROBLEMS AND UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE AT DEALERSHIP. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE WAS DRIVING, THE HOOD SUDDENLY UN-LATCHED AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. THE BODY SHOP INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE HOOD LATCH WAS VERY OLD, AND THERE WAS NO WAY, THE DEALER DIDN'T NOTICE IT. UPDATED 04-14-14 *BF *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACEMENT ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE DRIVER SIDE WAS REPLACED, TOO. THE CONSUMER HAD PAPERWORK PROVING ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED.

I WAS TRAVELING IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS (30 MPH SPEED LIMIT), AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE THE ENGINE AGAIN. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL WOULD ONLY RESULT IN REVVING THE ENGINE, MUCH LIKE IN NEUTRAL SETTING. THE MAJOR KEY PROBLEM HERE IS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR SIGNS OF DISTRESS, FAILURE, WARNING AND ETC. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I WAS TRAVELING ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND COULD EASILY PULL OVER TO THE CURB; THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 80 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY... THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON SITES SUCH AS THIS: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2001/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILURE.SHTML. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK WHEN I STARTED TO HEAR THIS LOUD CHOPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND MAY BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF \NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V132000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND COMING OUT OF GEAR. CAR REVVED BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED HOME, AND THEN TO MECHANIC, WHO STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING. *TR

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER, WAS 270 MILES AWAY, ROUND TRIP, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A NON-HONDA DEALER, CLOSER TO HIM, TO PERFORM THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS PAST 80 YEARS OLD, AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE LONG DISTANCES, DUE TO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS.

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. THIS IS TRULY A DANGER TO THE DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR EXPERIENCES POSTED ONLINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD WINNING NOISE. THE GEAR SHIFTED OUT OF PLACE THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

2001 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DEFECTIVE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS SON WAS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. ON MAY 10, 2013, HIS SON WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. A MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, INFORMING HIM OF A DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH COULD PRODUCE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE UPON DEPLOYMENT. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, BOTH AIR BAGS FAILED; THE DRIVER'S SIDE DIDN'T OPEN ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY FIXED BY THE DEALER, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE OPENED WITH SO MUCH PRESSURE THAT IT BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A FIRE INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

THE RIGHT WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAD WEAKENED AND THE MOTOR WAS SITTING ON THE AXLES. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT ANY TIME? *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN AT 65 MPH THE CAR STARTED TO JERK. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING IN AN OUT OF GEAR. IF I PULLED OVER AN SAT FOR 15 MIN IT WOULD START TO PULL LIKE NORMAL AGAIN FOR A COUPLE MILES THEN DO IT AGAIN. I HAD TO DO THAT SEVERAL TIMES TURNING A 15 MIN TRIP INTO A 2 HOUR TRIP. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND THEN FOUND OUT THERE ARE $3000 MINIMUM ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. INCLUDING REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER, THE AIRBAGS AREN'T WORKING PROPERLY, THE REAR WINDOW WON'T ROLL DOWN. ALSO, THE EVAPORATION SENSOR AND CANISTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I CANNOT FIND THE RIGHT PART TO REPLACE IT. THE SRS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SEATBELT ISSUE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHTS SAY THAT IT IS ENGAGING. *TR

TAKATA RECALL REIMBURSEMENT

I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DROVE TO SOME DISTANCE WHILE EXPERIENCING SOME GEAR ENGAGING PROBLEMS. THEN SUDDENLY THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: 1. CAR STUTTERS OR JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR WON'T ENGAGE. 4. TRANSMISSION POPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. 5. CAR WILL TURN ON AND STARTS TO MOVE A BIT, THEN CAN'T GET IT TO MOVE. I HAD TO CALL SERVICE TO TOW MY CAR BACK TO HOME BECAUSE CAR DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED FOR HOLIDAYS. THIS HAPPENED ON 2012/12/23 AND THE MILEAGE ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WAS 80404 MILES. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BY HONDA BECAUSE OF A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SWITCH WHICH CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HONDA REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIR AT THEIR COST. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM, AND HONDA SHOULD FIX IT, SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY DID NOT FIX IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. *TR

I WAS YET ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OF HONDA'S CHEAP TRANSMISSION AND I SAY CHEAP IN THAT IT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY NOT THAT IT IS CHEAP TO GET IT REPAIRED. NO THAT IS OVER $2000 ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF MY CAR DILIGENTLY TAKING IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS AT HONDA'S RECOMMENDED MILEAGE; I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED. I HAD JUST PULLED UP TO A BUSY STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS AND MY CAR MOVED FORWARD LIKE USUAL, BUT SUDDENLY RIGHT AS I PAST THE INTERSECTION THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN JUST DIED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND SOME HOW AFTER A FEW MINUTES MANAGED TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD JUST ENOUGH TO PULL IT INTO A TURN OFF. I HAD NUMEROUS PEOPLE HONKING AND YELLING AT ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HONDA IF YOU'RE LISTENING, I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM YOU. NHTSA IF YOU'RE LISTENING PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU TO DO AN INVESTIGATION THIS COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIR UNDER A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE! WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WOULD NOT GET IN GEAR. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT I WAS NOT MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO LET IT COAST TO A SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY UGLY IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A BUSIER STREET. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE STATION. APPARENTLY THE OIL PUMP AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED WHICH BASICALLY CAUSED THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. I HAD TO DO A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I KNOW MY HONDA HAS A FEW MILES BUT 104K SEEMS TOO EARLY FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

CLEAR COAT IS PEELING AWAY FROM HOOD, ROOF, AND DOOR. *TR

CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY, WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. NO WARNING OF PROBLEMS, CAR IS REGULARLY SERVICED, ONE OWNER. TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I TRIED TO DODGE THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT, AND FAILED TO DO SO. I SCRATCH THE REAR LEFT BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR, THEN SPIN 540 DEGREES AND HIT THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS WEARING THE SEATBELT SO IT WAS OK BUT THE FRONT AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED TO PROTECT ME FROM CERTAIN INJURIES. I STILL FEEL SOME PAIN ON MY NECK AND MY BACK 3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. *TR
