| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MY CAR STALLED. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS APPROX. 147K MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION OUT OF MY POCKET. IT IS IN MY OPINION THAT MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE LAST A LOT LONGER THAN 9 YEARS AND 147K MILES. I OWN THREE OTHER VEHICLES, TWO OF WHICH ARE ABOUT 5 YEARS OLDER AND BOTH WITH OVER 300K MILES ON THEM EACH AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WON'T RECALL IT. IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IS ONES CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND 453 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM; I AM A VERY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT A HONDA WOULDN'T LAST LONGER THAN MINE HAS. *TR |
| 2012 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHEN I AM ABOUT TO GO DOWNHILL AND TAKE AN EXIT AT 40 MPH AFTER DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED OF 65 MPH FOR SOME TIME I SEE THIS PROBLEM. RPM IS SUDDENLY SPIKING UP FROM 1500 TO 2500 AND STAYS THERE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. HIT BRAKES OR GAS DOES NOT BRING IT DOWN. GOOD THING IS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOING UP. THAT'S THE GOOD SIGN BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM WITH ECON DRIVE BUT I TURNED IT OFF ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR |
