| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 honda civic. stopped at a stop sign, my daughter proceeded when traffic cleared. stepping on the accelerator, the car lunged forward into the intersection, then suddenly lost power to the wheels. the engine was still running fine, but when the accelerator was pushed down, the engine revved but no power was transferred to the wheels. the car rolled very slowly into the intersection and had to be pushed off the roadway. my daughter was lucky the on coming traffic was light and the oncoming cars were able to avoid her. the cause:a shot tranny. since this happened, i have read so many similar incidents with honda cars. it seems this problem runs throughout the entire line of honda automobiles. this car has only 81,000 miles on it and has had scheduled maintenances performed regularly. i heard honda has extended its warranties to 100,000 for certain vehicles that they make with this exact same problem, but they do not include the civic. maybe in the interest of safety for their customers, and the infamous honda "reliability" they should include the civic. people pay more for hondas, i think i'll go toyota next time. *jb |
