I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON A ROUGH ROAD. THE WAY IT FEELS WHEN THEY GRIND DOWN A ROAD FOR REPLACING. I TURNED MY RADIO OFF TO HEAR BETTER. IT SOUNDED ROUGH AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. MY ACCELERATOR THEN MADE MY ENGINE REV. MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED. I PUT IN PARK AND COULD HEAR THAT MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE. I PUT INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO BUT ONLY REV UP. MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES AND IS MY DAILY COMMUTER. I HAVE SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION TWICE AND IT WAS DUE FOR THE THIRD OIL CHANGE SOON. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC AND PERFORM MY OWN SERVICES. THE OIL FOR TRANNY SERVICE WAS PURCHASED BOTH TIMES FROM YUBA CITY HONDA. I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. HIGHWAY MILES ARE KNOWN TO BE EASIEST ON A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH NO FOREWARNING.

THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. ALSO WHEN I STOPPED OR WAS SLOWING DOWN, MADE A TURN OR BRAKING THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON INDIVIDUAL DAYS. I PUT ON MY FLASHING HAZARD LIGHTS TO PREVENT BEING HIT FROM BEHIND ON BUSY STREETS. I HAVE READ ABOUT HIS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER DRIVERS WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING IT ONLINE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING HIS CAR, IT'S LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE. I AM HAVING IT CHECKED OUT TOMORROW AT A HONDA DEALER.IT MAY TAKE A WHILE FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE CAUSE. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THIS WAS NOT LISTED AS A RECALLED VEHICLE. SINCE HIS HAS HAPPENED ON DIFFERENT DATES I WILL JUST LIST THE LATEST DATE BELOW.

I WAS REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPOT AND WHEN I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO DRIVE, I RECALL HEARING A SNAP AND THE CAR WENT ABOUT TWO FEET BEFORE I LOST ALL ACCELERATION.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2015 WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DOVER HONDA (NH) AROUND APRIL 2016 AND HAD ~83,400 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED (JAN 2019). BEFORE THAT TIME IT WORKED PERFECTLY WELL. NO ONE HAD DONE ANY WORK ON THE CAR TO THAT POINT ASIDE FROM TIRE REPLACEMENT AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE, BUT NOTHING RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING AN EXIT RAMP OFF OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (~40 MPH GRADUAL TURNING), THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, SO SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. A VARIETY OF WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DOVER HONDA (NH). THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION FILL CAP WAS NOT ATTACHED (BUT FOUND ON THE FRAME OF THE CAR) AND A PRESSURE SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $400. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE IN WORKING ORDER AFTERWARDS. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THE CAR WAS AGAIN RETURNED TO DOVER HONDA. THEY SAID THAT THE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS DAMAGED AGAIN, THEY SURMISED THAT A NEARBY SHAFT WAS HITTING IT OCCASIONALLY CAUSING THE DAMAGE. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE OPTION OF NEW OR USED REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO CHARGED ME ANOTHER ~$100 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW A TRANSMISSION FILL CAP BEING MISSING (ASSUMING THAT IT ACTUALLY WAS MISSING) COULD ALLOW THAT MUCH CONTAMINATION INTO A TRANSMISSION TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON ONLY PAVED ROADS IN A LOW DUST ENVIRONMENT LIKE NEW ENGLAND. WHEN OPENING THE TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO COMMENT BY THE DEALER ON THE FLUID BEING TERRIBLY DIRTY. THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE THAT APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER, BUT THE FAILURE MODE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO NOTICE # 15V574000. AT THIS POINT I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED

WHILE DRIVING I FELT A VIBRATION. ABOUT 15 MILES LATER THE RPMS WERE HIGH AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR ROAD GOING UP HILL. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO WARNING OF ANY SORT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER CLAIMS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND KEEP INSISTING THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SWITCH, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BURNT AND THE CAR'S DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM STILL DOES NOT REGISTER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEIR ESTIMATE CLAIMS: "REPLACE TRANSMISSION (DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY, DTC P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH STUCK OFF, DURING INSPECTION FOUND TRANSMISSION PRESSURE VALVE LOOSE ON TRANSMISSION ALLOWING FLUID TO SPILL OUT, CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BURN INTERNALLY)"

VEHICLE ( MILEAGE 70,511 ) WAS ABOUT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, WHEN I HEAR A NOISE IN THE POWER TRAIN LIKE A POP SOUND, THEN START LOOSING POWER AND STOP.

I NEED HELP.

ABOUT 15 SECONDS ENTERING THE FREEWAY I DECIDED TO MERGE. AS I ACCELERATED I HEARD SOMETHING POP OR LIKE A CLUNK/THUMP SOUND, LIKE SOMETHING HAD SHIFTED, THEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS MY RPM WAS MOVING BUT MY CAUSE WAS NOT. GOOD THING I WAS STILL ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON. ENGINE WAS FINE, IT STARTED BUT I MY CAR WASN'T MOVING WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS ON DRIVE. I TRIED TO REVERSE MY CAR BUT IT MOVED VERY LITTLE AS WELL. SOUNDS LIKE MY PROBLEM REFLECTS THE RECALL ON 2014-2015 HONDA CIVIC CARS REGARDING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, ALTHOUGH A RECALL DOESN'T SHOW WHEN TYPING MY VIN.

THE CAR HAS A KNOWN ISSUE AS TOLD TO ME BY HONDA DEALER WITH THE PRESSAURE PLAYER SPRINGS FAILING CAUSING LOUD GRINDR NOISE. IT HAPPENS WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR ON THESE CARS. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL 9TH GENERATION HONDA CIVICS FORUMS LIST THE PROBLEM AS A PRESSURE PLATE. HONDA IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE 2800 TO FIX A PLROBLEM THEY KNOW IS WITH A FLAWED PART. WHEN SITTING IN FIRST GEAR AND YOU LET THE CLUTCH OUT THE CAR MEMAKES A GRINDR NOISE. ONE HONDA FORUM LIST OVER 52 PAGES OF PEOPLE ADDRESSING HAVING THIS ISSUE.

MY 2015 CIVIC WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND ON SEPT. 10, 2018 EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE SIMILAR TO CARS IN THE RECALL. I AM WRITING TO SEE IF THE RECALL IS BEING EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OTHER CARS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. AMERICAN HONDA IS MAINTAINING NO RESPONSIBILITY AND REFERRED ME TO NHTSA, CLAIMING MY CAR WAS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. BUT THE TIME FRAME AND PROBLEM EXPERIENCED IS SUSPECT.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING, IT FELT LIKE I HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN AND NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OUT THE TIRES AND THEY WERE OKAY. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE CAR JUST JERKED WITH A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STRANDED WITH A DEAD CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL AND IT ONLY HAD 61,00 MILES ON IT!!

PUT THE GEAR IN PARK. LEFT CAR RUNNING, WHILE I HAD TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE GARAGE DOOR. CAR STARTED MOVING AND DAMAGED THE WOODEN BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE. MY LANDLORD OWNS THE GARAGE AND THIS INCIDENT CAUSED $ 500 IN DAMAGES. THIS ISSUE COULD EASILY KILL A PERSON. WHY DOES HONDA NOT REPORT A SERIOUS ISSUE LIKE THAT. THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 0 MILES HONDA CIVIC 2015 ON MAY 2015 IVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY SUSPENSION MOTOR MOUNTING HAD BEEN REPLACES AS WELL AS AXELS... I'M CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY I'M SCARED OF AN ACCIDENT FOR A SUSPENSION PROBLEM SINCE ITS FRONT SUSPENSION... ON THE DEALER THEY ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID ON TELLING ME THE CAUSE OF THIS MATTER... I WOULD LIKE THIS SUSPENSION PROBLEM TO BE INVESTIGATE... THE TRANSMISSION IS ANOTHER PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME YOU ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DOENST GO FAST AND FEELS LIKE SLIPS ON KICKS OUT... I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT LIKE ALWAYS THEY SAID THEY DON'T FIND THE PROBLEM... THE WORST THAT THE DEALER ALWAYS REQUEST ME TO GO ON A DRIVE TEST WITH THE MECHANIC THAT'S NOT PART OF MY JOB THEY SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED WORKERS

PURCHASED 2015 HONDA CIVIC (SPECIAL EDITION) IN NOV, 2015. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED (HIGHWAY OR STREETS), WHEN I TAKE OFF MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR "KICKS" A BIT, LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT DOES IT MORE OFTEN WHEN DRIVING THE STREETS. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING, IT DOES NOT FEEL THAT IT'S CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY. IT "KICKED" ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS PRETTY LOUD. I'M NOT A MECHANIC SO IT'S HARD FOR ME TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS JUST "BREAKING ITSELF IN" SO I WAS NOT CONCERNED. BUT MY BOYFRIEND SAYS IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WITH THE POWER TRAIN/DRIVE SHAFT. I LOOKED UP ANY RECENT RECALLS ON 2015 CIVICS AND THERE IS ONE FOR THE POWER TRAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT WAS ADVISED MY CAR IS NOT AFFECTED IN THE RECALL. MAYBE NOT, BUT IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT THE RECALL DESCRIBES. I'LL BE TAKING IT IN FOR THEM TO LOOK AT ON DEC 30TH, 2015.

MAYBE YOU ARE PRESSING TO HARD ON THE BRAKES.THIRD MONTH IN I WENT BACK AGAIN FOR THE GEAR SHIFT NOISE AND WAS TOLD THATS JUST HOW THESE CIVICS SOUND.

NOTICED A SHUDDER WITH VEHICLE DURING 1ST WEEK OF PURCHASE. THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE WEIRD SINCE BEING A NEW CAR. ASSUMED THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH REGARDS TO BREAK IN OF VEHICLE. 2ND WEEK OF OWNERSHIP ON MY WAY TO WORK, NOTICED THE SHUDDER MULTIPLE TIMES DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS SHUDDER LATER TRANSITIONED INTO A KNOCK OR PINGING OF SOME SORT WHILE JERKING AND ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT. VERY SCARY AT THIS POINT...GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND PARKED THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. UPON START UP, VEHICLE STILL IDLING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO GET TO WORK SO JUST BRAKED MOST OF THE WAY AND DROVE WITH ADDED CAUTION. AFTER WORK, CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY ON MY WAY HOME WITH ECON AND AIR CON BOTH OFF. SHUDDER IS STILL PRESENT TO THIS DAY DURING LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCELERATION AT 30 - 40 MPH. I AM FEARFUL OF USING THE ECON AND AIR CON TOGETHER AS THIS WORSENS THE PROBLEM. HONDA AND THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

NHTSA ODI 10786587

I PURCHASED A 2015 HONDA CIVIC EX WITH A CVT. I CAN RELIABLY REPRODUCE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) STUTTERS OR JERKS WHEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATING AT IN-TOWN SPEEDS (E.G., 10-40 MPH). IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN GOING FROM A SLOW SPEED (E.G., 10-20 MPH) AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATING. A REAR END COLLUSION COULD TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE HESITATION OF ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DELLA HONDA DEALERSHIP IN NEW YORK STATE, BUT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED ANY TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS (TSB); SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO TROUBLESHOOT OR DIAGNOSIS THE TROUBLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HOOKED UP MY CAR TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS AND NO SERVICE CODES OR OUT-OF-SPEC MESSAGES APPEARED, SO THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TROUBLE WITH THE CVT, BUT HONDA IS RESISTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TROUBLE. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 4,864 MILES ON IT AND IT APPEARED TO RESOLVE THE TROUBLE.
