| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001 honda civic with about 76,000 miles was acting up for about a week. it started making a squeaking noise when cold, however once it got warmed up the noise went away. few days ago when i shifted the automatic transmission into reverse, it barely moved. the rpm's would rev up but the vehicle was not going anywhere fast. same happened when shifted in drive. i made it to work, and decided to take it into the shop on the way back in the evening. on the way to the shop the car stopped without much warning. at the time it died i was going over a bridge overpass and did not have any room to pull over. luckily my wife was following me so she slowed down and allowed me to cost down the overpass on to the shoulder. once stopped the check transmission light came on, unfortunately, too little to late. i had the car towed to a dealer who has informed me that the car needs a new transmission. this is a honda, only 5 years old with less than 80k miles. this should not happen to this car. the cost of repair is over $2k. honda is willing to cover half the cost as a good-will gesture, but judging by the amount of complaints about the transmission on 2001 honda civics between 50-80k miles, this should be a recall. i only wonder how many people fork over $3k-$4k and do not report this issue. *nm |
