Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission slipping on 2004 honda civic hybrid. i have been having issues with my transmission slipping on civic hybrid since about 30k miles. i now have 86k miles. the 1st time i brought it into my honda dealer in south charleston wv the mechanics said honda said to flush the transmission fluid twice to fix the issue. they did and everything seemed to be ok. then at about 60k the same thing happened and the honda dealers mechanic said honda said they knew about the problem and came up with a "new transmission formula" to fix this. i live off a major road which is 45mph and on a blind peak of a hill. when i step on the gas i need the car to move and not slip like it has in order to avoid on coming traffic. i noticed the same thing happening at 85k miles and brought it back in. this time they said they couldn't get the thing to register any faults. now at 86k my transmission light went on and i have been noticing the slipping getting worse. i have the extended warranty good up to 100k miles but feel this to be a major safety hazard and cover up by honda to avoid paying to replace all these defective transmissions. i will be bringing my car back into the dealer over the next few days. *tr
