What 377 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Honda Civic Sedan Si

Failure of transmission control module Description fits exact diagnosis in recall. Check transmission light on at 45,000 miles. Andy Mohr wants money to inspect it. I an more than willing to if they will inspect it for free but it is not drivable. If they would come pick it up I would be happy to let them drive it all they want. The problem came with no warning on the Highway. car wouldn’t no longer switch to second gear. Purchased at Andy Mohr Honda in Bloomington at 17,000 miles off lease from some someone who barely drove it. Certified Preowned by Honda. Paid in full, feel ripped off. Yes, available for inspection on request No warning: transmission complete failure 2015 Silver Honda Civic Has been discussed with mechanics at Curry Buick in.Bloomington as well as our Winslow marathon which has great mechanics, they told me to contact you. The issue according to the NTHSB is the “TCM” or transmission control module. resulting in cars wheels locking up, or spinning out of control and not changing gears (this is what happened to me and repeated itself when I waited a week and tried driving around my neighborhood ) the issue is supposed to result in transmission and Powertrain failure, making engine wanting to redline very easily. I’m lucky I didn’t burn my engine up. I didn’t purchase a car in 2018 at 17,000 miles and expect the transmission to fall out at 45,000 miles. That’s unacceptable and I was never notified, and Andy mohr purports that my vehicle was either serviced or software changed resulting in no issue, however a transmission dying at 45,000 mi on a Honda Civic is not right and I suspect Honda notified the previous lessee and they did not service the car or had it improperly serviced. Otherwise I see no reason to have a car fall apart at 45,000 miles. I drive like grandma.

II HAD PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. TO ALLOW AN ONCOMING CAR TO PASS, I STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY, AND HIT MY REAR BUMPER. UPON IMPACT, MY CAR SUDDENLY REVVED AND ACCELERATED TO PERHAPS 20-30 MPH. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE, AND MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE DRIVEWAY OF A FACING BUSINESS. FORTUNATELY, NO HUMAN OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER, WHO THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE APPLICABLE COMPONENTS; THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS, SO THEY CONTACTED HONDA, WHO SUBSEQUENTLY CAME OUT BUT AGAIN COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT I MIGHT HAVE ERRONEOUSLY APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE, BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE MANY YEARS OF EXCELLENT DRIVING EXPERIENCE, AND QUICK REACTION TIME. I AM ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE, AND THAT MY CAR EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WITH A SUPPOSED CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH, THIS CAR CONTINUES TO BE MY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. HOWEVER, I ALWAYS HAVE AN UNDERLYING FEAR THAT THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION MIGHT OCCUR AGAIN.

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT AFTER BEING STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I NOTICED MY CAR DRIVING STRANGE( SOUNDING AND FEELING LIKE IT WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR) MOMENTS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND 2 WARNINGS IN THE DASHBOARD ABOUT MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS. MY CAR BEGIN TO DECELERATE, COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND BEING HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER DRIVER. I FOUND THIS VERY STRANGE AND DANGEROUS DUE TO MY CAR BEING A 2015 AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS SLOWLY TURNING MY VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE IN THE PARKING LOT OF A RESTAURANT. THE CAR WAS FACING THE BUILDING WITH A SIDEWALK BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE BUILDING. THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN.PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DID NOT SLOW IT DOWN AT ALL. THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPING THE CURBED SIDEWALK AND STOPPED WHEN IT CRASHED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF THE BUILDING. I WAS ABLE TO STEER AWAY FROM THE LARGE WINDOW THAT WAS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS NOON AND FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CUSTOMERS ON THE SIDEWALK. THE VEHICLE SUFFERED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE COSTING $7773 IN REPAIRS. I WAS EVALUATED AT THE SCENE BY AMBULANCE CREW. I HAD AN ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE AND A SORE SHOULDER/NECK. THE DEALER'S STAFF AND THE REGIONAL MANAGER INSISTED THAT THIS WAS NOT A FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT HUMAN ERROR. I KNOW I WAS NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS. THE REGIONAL MANAGER ASKED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CRASH SITE TO DEMONSTRATE FOR HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AS IT WOULD MAKE IT MORE CLEAR TO HIM THAN READING ABOUT IT. I DECLINED THIS LUDICROUS REQUEST! A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE AS WELL AS INSURANCE CLAIMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.

3 INCIDENTS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION - EACH TIME I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE SLOWLY WHEN THE ENGINE REV'D AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE 3RD INCIDENT ENDED WITH MY CAR SPEEDING THROUGH A PLATE GLASS WINDOW. THE DEALERSHIP ASSUMES THAT I HIT THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I DEFINITELY DID NOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND WAS GLIDING INTO THE PARKING SPOT. WHEN THE CAR SPED UP. THE BRAKE FAILED TO STOP IT.
