2001 honda civic lx approximately 67,500 miles. Check engine light code p0740 requires a replacement torque converter or, possibly, an entire transmission. Hasn't caused any incidents or accidents yet, but if isn't fixed it will. This seems to be an inherent problem with certain honda transmissions as there have been many complaints on the internet about the same problem. *tr

I was driving to chicago for a wedding. Went to pass another vehicle on i-55 and when i pushed on the gas pedal the engine revved but the transmission did not catch. Let off the gas and it eventually reengaged. Continued driving and it went downhill from there to the point where the engine was working fine but the transmission would not engage in any gear. Managed to get the car to my destination, but could very…

From my research, i see transmission failure of a 2001 honda civic is very common! I didn't enter a…

I was diving down the hwy when my car would no longer accelerate. I was pressing the gas pedal and my rpms were shooting through the roof, but my speed was declining, as cars going 70mph were shooting around me. Then i came to a halt, and then my check engine light came on. I had no warnings, it came out of nowhere. I had my car towed to the mechanic. He replaced the entire transmission and stated it had something…

A/c doesn't get cold, can't get honda to fix as been this way since new. Brakes went bad with about 15000 miles on them. Were bad before that, still does not stop right, and has a vibraton when stopping transmission has a thumping like noise some times while idling. Had to replace strut on passanager side, couldn't get honda to pay for all of it. I think one on driver side is bad also. Service manager told me this…

The speedometer gauge will become erratic and stop functioning for a short time. This seems a bit dangerous to me. Also, the fuel gauge fluctuates too much making it difficult to know how much fuel remains.*ak
