Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The cvt transmission in my 2003 honda civic hybrid totally gave out. this followed months of jerking and repeated treatments of transmission fluid replacement and "reprogramming.," which started before 30,000 miles. each treatment seemed to work temporarily, only to have the jerking return, each time sooner than before. the evening it gave out entirely i was crossing a bridge, then turned left onto a main street. as i turned the car jerked, then acted as though it was permanently in neutral. the dealer told me i must have been spinning my wheels on snow or ice, but this was not the case. *nm
