| 2008 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | OUR STANDARD 2008 CIVIC EX (BOUGHT JUNE 2008) STARTED TO HAVE VARIABLE VIBRATION/SHUTTERING ISSUES FROM IDLE/STOP TO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AROUND 28,000 MILES (NEW CIVIC, WE ARE THE ONLY OWNERS, NO ACCIDENTS). THE SHUTTERING STOPPED AFTER THE CAR WAS IN HIGHER GEARS. THIS VIBRATION ISSUE WORSENED AND WE COULD NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM AN IDLE POSITION INTO 1ST GEAR - DUE TO EXTREME VIBRATIONS, WHICH BECAME MORE FREQUENT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AROUND 35000 MILES ON NOVEMBER 17, 2010, TO DETERMINE/CORRECT THE SHUTTERING/VIBRATION ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. THE SHUTTERING/VIBRATION CONTINUED AND WE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL OF OUR TIRES AT OUR COST AROUND 40,000 MILES TO SEE IF THIS WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE VIBRATION/SHUTTERING CONTINUED AT VARIABLE TIMES. AT 41,000 MILES, THE VIBRATION/SHUTTERING BECAME IMPACTFUL AND WE COULD NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE FROM AN IDLE POSITION WITHOUT THE CAR SHAKING/NOT ENGAGING EFFECTIVELY. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AGAIN ON FEBRUARY 3, 2011 AND THE TECHNICIAN REPLICATED THE ISSUE WITH US IN THE CAR. THEY INDICATED THEY LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE MOTOR MOUNTS AND "LOOKED" AT THE CLUTCH (NOT INSPECTED). THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND IT WAS DUE TO THE WAY WE DROVE THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THEIR TECHNICIAN REPLICATED THE ISSUE. THEY SAID HONDA DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS ISSUE VIA THE PHONE TECHNICAL LINE. WE DID NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS AND IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AS IT WILL NOT ENGAGE/ACCELERATE PROPERLY WITHOUT SHUTTERING WHEN SHIFTING FROM IDLE INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. *TR |
