Automatic Transmission
We have had both the battery and the transmission fail. The battery failed at 82k miles, just past the 80k mile warranty. Now, at 91k miles, the transmission needs to be replaced. In reviewing our records, it seems that transmission problems began at 51k miles, as a "surging" when we were on the interstate such that the engine would rev while we were coasting. The dealer couldn't duplicate the issue and the stopped…

My 2004 transmission went out in a turn through a non stop light controlled intersection. I was almost broadsided by an upcoming car, that would have missed me if the transmission didn't fail. I found a safety recall for the same model year that was put out while my car was in the dealer's possession. I am being told that it is my problem, and unless i cough up $8,000 to replace it with a new transmission i am…

I had a crack through my transmission gear from the inside diameter all of the way out and 75% fractured from one side of that cog cylinder to the other. I replaced part # 23451-pdm-a00 and 23531-p24-j00 at a cost of $2241.75 at the shop and another $261.93 in car rental fees. The failure was first checked in at the shop on 9/14/2010 at 60,715 miles but it was cracked and making the noise since approximately 55,000…

My 2004 honda civic hybrid has 65k plus miles. The problem began with a slight hesitation upon accelerating from a stop. I chalked it up to minor wear. The hesitation has gotten progressively worse. Now it shudders (or 'judders' as i've heard it called) on a regular basis;the severity and duration have increased. It has gotten to the point where i don't feel safe pulling out into traffic without more room between…

2004 honda civic hybrid, the transmission is shot. I've already replaced the starter kit, the cv and some other stuff. Now, at 113,000 the transmission is whining and juttering. This car is a lemon. I hear that honda had a recall on the hybrid transmission in japan, so they should have one here, too. *ln

I have a 2004 honda hybrid that i bought new from an atlanta, ga dealership. It has 106000 miles. It has had 1 transmission replaced, motor mounts, clutch and the same problems still exist. It slips, shakes like it is going to explode even though i take off gently and slowly. I was at a redlight 12-24-09 when i attempted to turn onto i75 and it "slipped" so badly it wouldn't even go. The car behind me barely missed…

When accelerating transmission shutters was fixed by dealer about 12 mo ago and has started again. They replaced clutch plate. Also no permanent fix for catalytic converter.

Each of these items have started around 70,000 miles except for cruise control which started within the past 3-4 mo. *tr

2004 honda civic hybrid bucks and jolts at low speeds. At its 30k mile service, was told it is a second gear transmission problem that honda would fix 'at no cost to me one time in good faith' the free fix happened b/c the service rep (at a honda service center) said he sees a lot of these transmission issues and he called honda (i assume honda corporate) and they offered the (free to me) fix. *jb

Failure of honda america to fix a faulty transmission. Charging for diagnostics of faulty transmission, transmission slips, judders, and seems to be failing. Transmission is worst after they said it was repaired. This is not an isolated case and apparently a manufacturing defect that american honda should be required to fix regardless of mileage knowing that it is a problem which they are avoiding to fix. Maybe you…

Transmission slips whenever you take off it has been doing this for 2 years after you change the trans. Fluid it stops for a few thousand miles then starts again. I don't think you should have to change the fluid more than the engine oil it is getting expensive!!!! *tr
