| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 honda civic hybrid worked fine until ~50000 miles (~3 years of ownership.) at that time, the transmission began to cause the car to lurch forward when driving at speeds from 5-15 mph. after a few months, the problem was severe enough that i no longer felt safe driving the car to work in traffic whose speed would cause the car to lurch forward repeatedly instead of maintain a smooth speed. i took the vehicle to the dealership twice to get them to fix the problem, but although they could duplicate the problem - they claimed the car had no fixable problems. reading from other civic hybrid owners has shown that this problem is very common and expensive to fix. *nm |
