The vehicle was running well until recently my acceleration is when turning corners is very low and the tires stop moving, i looked up similar issues online and saw a recall notice about the transmission, the issue can cause the tires to stall and can be extremely dangerous. My vehicle is having this exact issue and i feel this isnt coincidence.…

Didn't drive 10 ft when the car lost accelleration and front wheels locked up....so he turned off the car and turned it back on and proceeded to put it in drive when it started to go in reverse on its own so he turned off the car and called for a tow.…

Driving on the highway at 60 mph, my car made a noise almost like a flapping sound and suddenly loses power. Got to the side of the highway, called roadside assistance and towed car to service station. The car started and ran - the car went into drive, reverse and park but would not move at all. Still no warning lights. The transmission needed to be replaced. There were no indications such as leakage, lights or…

I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The honda dealership who assessed the car said…

My vehicle was showing no obvious signs of issues when purchased at about 28,000 miles 11/1/18 upon my first oil change at 39,000 miles it was noted that though transmission fluid was at safe levels there appeared to be a leak as condensation was noticed by the third party oil service technician. I was told to keep an eye out for any issues. I drove my vehicle with no obvious issues of driveway leaks or service…

I was taking my mom to work at around 4am. On my way back my car suddenly stopping in the middle of the freeway. Luckily no cars were around and i was able to move it to the side of the road. The engine ran fine, but it would not accelerate or reverse. My car almost felt like it was left on neutral. Once i got it towed to a mechanic they told me my transmission pretty much blew out and i had to replace it. Before…

I bought my car new and have had it only 3 1/2 years. My issues started with my battery failing twice within a year of each other. I had to replace all 4 tires with new ones only a year after buying it because the tires were so worn down as if they were not new to begin with. Then i had a system failure that required my car to be taken in to service for a couple days. Then more recently i had a transmission piece…

I was driving on the highway and traffic was slowing down. I was going about 35 mph. All of a sudden, it felt like i was driving on a rough road. The way it feels when they grind down a road for replacing. I turned my radio off to hear better. It sounded rough and i heard a loud pop. My accelerator then made my engine rev. My car would not accelerate. I pulled off the road and stopped. I put in park and could hear…

The car slowed down while driving on city streets, and then stopped completely. Also when i stopped or was slowing down, made a turn or braking the same thing occurred. This happened several times on individual days. I put on my flashing hazard lights to prevent being hit from behind on busy streets. I have read about his happening to several other drivers when i was researching it online. This is a very dangerous…

My honda civic 2015 was purchased new from dover honda (nh) around april 2016 and had ~83,400 miles when the problems occurred (jan 2019). Before that time it worked perfectly well. No one had done any work on the car to that point aside from tire replacement and normal maintenance, but nothing related to the transmission. While my wife was taking an exit ramp off of a very busy highway (~40 mph gradual turning),…

While driving i felt a vibration. About 15 miles later the rpms were high and i was unable to accelerate. The car stopped completely on a major road going up hill. There was no check engine light, no warning of any sort. The dealership service center claims it is the transmission and keep insisting that it was a faulty switch, although it has never been replaced. The transmission is completely burnt and the car's…

About 15 seconds entering the freeway i decided to merge. As i accelerated i heard something pop or like a clunk/thump sound, like something had shifted, then my car began to slow down. Then when i stepped on the gas my rpm was moving but my cause was not. Good thing i was still on the far right hand side and was able to pull to the shoulder without causing any accidents. I turned the engine off then back on. Engine…

The car has a known issue as told to me by honda dealer with the pressaure player springs failing causing loud grindr noise. It happens when taking off in first gear on these cars. It is consistent with all 9th generation honda civics forums list the problem as a pressure plate. Honda is attempting to charge 2800 to fix a plroblem they know is with a flawed part. When sitting in first gear and you let the clutch out…

My 2015 civic was bought in november 2015 and on sept. 10, 2018 experienced a transmission failure similar to cars in the recall. I am writing to see if the recall is being expanded to include other cars experiencing these issues. American honda is maintaining no responsibility and referred me to nhtsa, claiming…
