My air bags in my car didn't deploy causing my head to impact to front windshield. I am experiencing major headache.

The srs failure light is constantly activated or on. Our dealer cannot repair it. American honda tech support cannot tell the dealer how to repair it. American honda has taken car, saying that it is unsafe to drive and with other such defects it must redesign & remanufacture a new part to be installed from now on and retrofitted to my car.after 5 times at the dealer starting right after delivery, american honda now estimates 1 - 2 months for a possible repair.the dealer has been very helpful, but it is out of their hands.there have been no guarantees, and american honda refuses to put anything in writing.anyone with a similar problem e-mail [email protected].
"airbag" light on headboard at almost all times. Received letter about airbag recall and contacted dealer (sam swope honda, louisville, ky (502) 499-3740) yesterday, 09/08/2009. They claim the soonest they can get me in to fix this problem is 11/23/2009. That's 76 days! i guess they don't care that this is poses a safety threat toward me.i had to contact another dealer and they were able to get me in a lot sooner than that. I just think it's unacceptable that sam swope couldn't get it taken care of sooner just because they were "getting slammed." this is someone's safety we are dealing with!
Takata recall. I was never informed by the dealer that my car was among the hondas being recall due to the air bag.

The date i'm typing below is when i'm sending this email. Nothing has happen with air bags - yet. I watched a report on the news that said to check and make sure. The provided the url address.
In the past i received a notice in the mail detailing an airbag inflator safety recall containing my car's vin number.when i called the local honda dealer to get it replaced, they stated that my car was not actually affected in the recall and a replacement would not be needed. I received another notice in the mail and when i called the dealer this time they confirmed that in fact my car needs replacements. My complaint is that i have been driving my car thinking it was safe, based on the honda dealership's word, when in fact it has not been safe to drive.

On my 2001 honda civic lx, the supplemental restraint system (srs) light comes on and has remained on for the past several weeks, indicating failure of air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners.this is apparently a problem with many of these vehicles and the repair to reset the system or replace the failed sensors/computers is not always successful (i.e. Light will eventually come back on).i have not repaired this as yet as i am waiting to see if honda will issue a recall notice.

Takata recallvehicle: honda civic lx 2001. I had previously responded to 2 recall notices and had airbags inspected by the oakland, ca honda dealership. On one occasion unknown part had been replaced.

The airbag did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock. My chest consequently hit the steering wheel resulting in a sternal fracture, requiring 48-hour hospitalization and est. 14 days of pain medication. Further information available.

Takata recall. Honda sent out a tech to my house to replace my airbag. 2 days later the srs light came on , so i took it to the honda dealer, brian dambrosio said i have a srs internal failure and said airbag needed to be replaced. Now andy at honda said , he was told its not the airbag and there is nothing he can do for me. I hope i don't die as a result of honda's nonaccountability

2001 honda civic ex sedan srs light comes on and stay on. This is the second time as the first time the indicator was just reset but now it just stayed on. I think honda should have a recall on the srs system as this is a safety issue as in the event of an accident the air bags would not go off. Also, the side airbag light would just flicker on and off. I think also that nhtsa should make honda do a recall on the srs system as many 2001 honda civic owners have complained.
I am the original owner. Srs sensor is on. Thousands of 2001 honda civic srs sensors have been recalled. My vin is not on the list. It needs to be added.
My srs indicator light comes on and stays on with an error code 15-3, which effectively turns off my air-bags on my 2001 civic.
My husband was in a car accident in our honda civic 2001 lx on august 6th.the accident occurred at approximately 9:30 am.the car in front of him stopped short to try to avoid an accident, thus my husband tried to stop but ran into the car in front of him (i'm told it was a 3 car accident).my husband hit his head on the windshield, his chest on the steering wheel and the air bags never deployed.he was going about 50 miles an hour at the time.the air bags should have gone off.we bought this car new in 2001.i was in a minor car accident with this same car a couple of years ago making a left hand turn on my way to church.at the time, i didn't think about it, but the air bags never deployed during that accident either.i thought it was just because i was going so slow that must havebeen the reason.

Takata recall, the srs light signal is on the whole time whenever the car is moving, it wont go away. And the car breaks isnt breaking fast when brake pads are being press down all the way instead it breaks slow to stop. Also hood needs to be slam hard in order to close.
I was rear ended by a tacoma traveling 45 mph while i was at a complete stop.as a result, i hit a mercedes that was stopped in front of me.my air bags did not deploy.luckily, i sit far enough away from my steering wheel and was not injured.i spoke with beaudry honda in tucson, arizona and was ignored.
We got into a head on collision with a suv receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (suv). There were two recalls for our honda civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our honda civic was serviced andthe "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to anyone else.
Takata recall the side airbag light check turns on randomly from time to time. Then a day or 2 later i get a dmv alert saying my vehicle has been recalled for a safety defect in the airbag. The check light would turn on when i am driving and would stay on.
I bought a used 2001 honda civic from premiere motorcars of santa fe in nov. Of 2002.the car had the srs light on and needed new clips for the sun roof.they were fixed before i brought the car home.approximately one month after i bought the car i was parked at raleys supermarket when an individual drivig a truck hit the passenger side of my bumper.when i took the car to be fixed, the repair shop told me that there was prior damage to my radiator.i had to pay an additional$1000 to fix everything. I was showed the prior damage before the repair shop fixed it; some ofmy bumper was actually taped together from the inside, it was not visible at all from the outside.when i told santa fe premiere about this they insisted that i had done the damage.since then my srs light has gone on about 5 times and each time i take it to the dealer to have it fixed i am told that they cannot find anything wrong so they just reset the light. The mantenience required light has now been on for the past three days and i am uncomfortable with the work done at santa fe premiere motors. My car had to have been in a bad car accident before i bought it.
2001 honda civic.consumer writes in regards to dealership unable to complete recall and consumer wants to be removed from recall mailing list.the consumer stated the first the dealer assured him, his vehicle was not a part of the recall. The second time he went to the dealer, it was due to the inconsistent recall notices, and the dealer informed him, the part was not in stock.

When backing the vehicle out of parking lot and without warning vehicle accelerated, lost control andhit a pole. Driver putvehicle in drive, then the it accelerated, causing the vehicle to hit a parked car head on. Upon impact,both front airbags did not deploy.
The srs light has been on in my vehicle for some time.i took in the vehicle to the dealer (metro honda, jersey city, nj) for the airbag inflator recall, but after i left, the light was still on.on my next visit i inquired about this, and the dealer told me i need a new srs system, at a cost of $730+ and that honda will not cover the cost.and, until i fix the srs system, the airbags will not deploy.i called honda on november 10, 2014, and they confirmed that i will have to pay for this out of pocket as there has been no recall issued.so, now i am driving around in a vehicle with airbags that will not deploy in the event of a crash.

Purchased a pre-owned 2001 honda civic in 2005, certified inspection by honda dealer. The srs light went on in april 2006.never was involved in accidents or alike. The srs lights was reset twice but the lights went on after couple months. It has been more than a year now that the srs light is on and i am very worried about my safety. Honda should replace the airbag and fix it for the owners safety.

My srs indicator light comes on and stayed on ever since we purchased the car.(honda civic 2001, 2 dr ex 4spa) i've been to the dealership for what is now the sixth time. The first time they reset it and said it was because i used the cigarette lighter to charge my cell phone. The second time they replaced the unit and for the sixth they were going to replace it again. In the meantime i have to drive honda civic vehicle with airbags that don?t work. Mechanic blamed lastly that wife places purse and tote bag or package on passenger seat, that has caused the trip. It seems to me that the car does not meet its design specs. And is a lemon. And whoever heard of not being able to take a cell phone in a car or not being able to put a purse on the passenger seat. Wife was in a rear end accident recently, no air bags went off and mechanic who repaired the rear end damage did nothing to the airbags.honda tried to blame them for the srs problem, even though i had the problem at least 4 times before the accident.after replacing the part several days ago, i was driving the car and the light came back on.nothing was in the passenger seat.
On june 2, 2018, i was pulling into my space at my apartment with my friend in the passenger seat. The car suddenly and uxpectantly acceralted and jumped the curb and hit a tree which stopped the car. The airbags did not employ.both of us were sore for the next few days but no major injuries.
The srs light is onmy 2001 honda civic. Every time i take it to the dealer, they tellme a different reason for the srs light coming up. I'm not sure if my driver/passenger airbags work.i searched the internet and found that several people had the same problem with their 2001 honda civic. Honda needs to recall for this problem.
The was just park and when i put the ignition key on the steering wheel and key ignition didn't want to start

The contact stated that while her son's friend was driving 80 mph, the driver lost control and crashed into a guardrail. The contact's son was ejected from the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained a fractured collarbone. Medical attention was received and the contact's son was airlifted to a hospital where he was pronounced deceased four hours later. The vehicle was towed by the police to a lot where it was sold to an auction. A police report was filed. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

The honda theinflator in the airbags had been recalled. My first attempt to take my car in for the recall on 6/2/2014 and was told they did not have the part. This honda is not near to my home and i only went there because they would take care of the car the same day. I then called the 800 number to ensure that i could be seen at the yonkers honda and that the car could be done the same day since this site had told me that others would be taken care of first regardless weather i got there first or not. I got an appointment from the 800 number this monday june 9, 2014 and after an hour of waiting i was told that they did not have the part. I once again contacted the 800 number angry that i had to wait an entire week the person at the 800 number said sorry miscommunication. At this time the airbag lights are on and the honda in yonkers told me no not something to do with the recall. My car was just inspected and the light came on a few days later. My car has never been in a car accident and has 38,000 miles. I'm its original owner. There are no other problems with my car. I believe honda is taking a short cuts knowing that the air bags may have to be completely replaced. The honda dealer said that they do not take care of the light i'm really distressed that the airbags are really defective altogether and even if the inflator is replaced that the airbags will in some way cause injury to me or someone in my family. I spoke the honda 800 representative and was highly dismissed like just the inflator . Could you please investigate this. Ibelieve honda is deceptive in order to save money and i nowa had a really hard time getting an appt. I have to return honda's call because they supposedly may have gotten the part, what about the lights. I shouldn't have to pay extra as a consumer on airbags that have had a recall for some defective part.
I'm not even sure if this is the right channel but here goes...i've called to get my recall fixed and nobody ever wants to call me back to schedule an appointment even. I tried the number where you text the recall coordinators? but they replied the next day and only waited 10 mins. Pohanka honda of salisbury doesn't seem to want to schedule this recall. I tried with them a few years ago but again no response. What do i have to do to get the common courtesy of a callback or something as simple as making an appointment? this is why i quit attempting to get this recall fixed some years ago, because it was never a priority apparently. Now that i'm attempting to sell the vehicle i have to continue to be ignored by the service department at pohanka, so that i can move on. I'm very displeased with being placated about "parts availability" or "just wait for a call back" when waiting for a courteous reply is all i need. Bottom line: i can't get my airbag recall done at pohanka honda of salisbury if they won't ever reach back out to me. I attempted a followup question toaday and was given a runaround phone number. Why would i give you all of my vin and recall numbers and then hear nothing again? i'm extraordinarily upset about being relegated to the back of the list every time. I strongly feel that nobody i've spoken to gives a [xxx] about getting this done because i'm the only one trying to make it happen. Hoping this actually merits a response because i'm about to wash my hands of this whole recall due to the abysmal handling of such a simple task. Then it can be a safety issue for the new owner because these dealers don't really want to do any "free" work it seems. Disappointed, upset and would rather drive a deathtrap than deal with any of these useless representatives.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I received a notice in 2010 regarding an airbag safety recall for my car.i called a local honda dealership on june 25, 2010 to schedule an appointment.however, i was never called back.i was told that the parts would be ordered and it would take 1-2 days to receive and once the parts were received, i would be contacted to schedule an appointment then.i never received the call again and i assumed it may have taken longer for the parts to be received so i had waited longer.i received the same recall notice again this year and suddenly remembered that i had tried to schedule the appointment since last year.it has obviously been more than 60 days since i had first contacted the dealer for an appointment.

We are filing a vehicle safety complaint against american honda company/takata for their defective airbags in the 2001 honda civic car.we made contact with american honda company last year about the severe injuries that the deployed airbag caused to my wife and they are not taking any responsibility for their defective product.on 11/14/2013, a negligent driver caused a serious accident that put my wife's life in grave danger. My wife was wearing her seat belt and airbags were deployed. My wife immediately felt pain in her entire body and couldn't move.police and paramedics were called and she was taken to the hospital for treatment.upon medical examination it was determined that she had a thoracic burst fracture at t12 and a t11 compression fracture, fracture to r lamina and pars of t12 as well. She had a rib fracture and pulmonary contusion.these were life-threatening injuries.she needed to have immediate spinal fusion surgery for the t10-l2 area of her spine.we filed a complaint with american honda company and provided documents through faxes and email and each time they said they did not receive our documents. They consistently said they did not receive our documents, although we have fax confirmation and email showing that documents were sent successfully to american honda. Then on 1/21/2015 marion cooley from american honda company called and said they cannot provide my wife with compensation for her medical injuries.it didn't seem like american honda company did any investigation and they were not willing to accommodate us. My wife has to live with permanent limitations due to the spinal injuries from that accident for the rest of her life.my wife can no longer conduct herself as the same person before the accident occurred.american honda company/takata needs to take responsibility for the injuries that the airbag caused....updated 02-03-15
Srs light came on out of the blue 8/06.i had an accident 2/05. Dealer "cleared codes".light came on again. This time the dealer blamed the accident.had the insurance company pay $400 for replacement of the srs unit.light came on again one week later.dealership claims that now it is a faulty seat belt buckle which would cost $305 to repair.this seems to be a major issue with honda civics.this seriously needs to be a recall issue.
Takata recall reimbursement
I took my car in for service to my local dealership on 3/23/15, which i booked online. I was able to book my recall service for the airbag inflater online as well, which no issues. I was asked when i brought in the car if i had called to order parts, i had not as there was no indication when i booked that i needed to do so. I was simply told parts would be ordered for me and they would let me know when they were in.after two weeks i called the dealership to inquire on my ordered parts, i was told parts can take "2 to 3 days or one to two months" to get in due to a backlog. I contacted honda via social media and was told that someone would be in touch with me. Two weeks later i still have yet to receive parts, hear from my local dealership or hear from anyone in honda's customer service department.my initial recall notice indicates this is a potentially life-threatening, dangerous issue that needs to be addressed, and yet despite my best efforts i am still stuck with faulty parts and no timeline for repairs. A two month wait for parts in a dangerous recall is irresponsible and potentially leaves me liable in the event of an accident involving these parts as i have been notified of their danger but otherwise unable to replace them.

Discussion with service dept. At college park honda indicated this part was a common failure. Honda does not have replacement parts available. Estimated time of delivery 4 weeks or more. Honda apparently did not anticipate early failure of this part and does not have an inventory of replacement parts. Basically, anyone experiencing this problem is being exposed to a fatal accident or serious injury since airbags are inoperable until the control module is replaced. This is undoubtedly a critical safety part and a four week wait for a replacement is unacceptable.nhtsa should contact honda and force some immediate action. At minimum, this part could be taken from autos being built and redirected toward the replacement market. Someone needs to hold honda's feet to the fire and force immediate correction.

2001 honda civic srs light stays on which means air bags wont deploy not covered by honda this is a safety issue should be covered for life of the car honda must not care about safety or law suits if my air bags don't work when they need to wont buy another honda.
Purchased a pre-owned 2001 honda civic, certified inspection by the dealer. Vehicle has 2 intermittent safety issues, which did not present themselves in the test drive prior to purchase. First, srs light is always on. Secondly there is an intermittent problem, can not reproduce on demand, where the instrument panel completely drops. So gas gauge says empty, says you are driving -0- mph, odometer goes to "8888888", etc, although you can continue to drive the car. The only way to reset is to pull over, turn off the car & restart the vehicle. One dealer quoted a gauge cluster at $800. Another dealer could not confirm this as the issue and asked for us to drive there when it is happening - when the gauges have dropped. It is dangerous to drive without gauges, and to drive it all the way to the dealer like this is unsafe. I called honda, there are no similarly reported issues for my vehicle. This is a dangerous safety issue.
The srs light on my dashboard of honda civic 2001 stays on. Upon working with an authorized dealer, the diagnosis of this error is "left front seatbelt buckle switch failure" (code 09-3).i was verbally told that this means in event of a crash the airbags would not deploy.i cursory search of internet forums suggests my case is not an isolated incident.when i requested the dealership and subsequently honda motor co to resolve this issue, which has to be considered safety related, i was told it is not covered under warranty. Given the potential of airbag non deployment, i would request urgent attention in this matter.
Srs warning light (supplemental restraint system) stays on.problem started at 9400 miles while under warranty, car now has 55,000 miles.

On march 12, 2016 my wife and i were traveling home to santa cruz from oakland on highway 880. While stopped in stop-and-go traffic we were hit from behind by a vehicle traveling at high speed. Unfortunately, our air bags never deployed resulting in serious injury to my wife and myself. We had recently taken the car to the dealer, ocean honda in soquel, california, after receiving notice that the air bags on the vehicle were defective and needed to be replaced. Our car was completely totaled as was the car that hit us. While none of our air bags deployed the air bags in the vehicle that struck us all deployed. I'm not sure all of our injuries could have been avoided if the air bags had deployed, but i'm sure the extent of our injuries would have been lessened.i don't know if the recall work done on our car was negligent, or if they just turned off the air bag system. But whatever was or was not done has had a serious impact on my wife and myselfi.

Airbag srs light always on when car is running. Cruise won't set. A non honda garage told me what was wrong and they fixed it. They had to replace the srs air bag clockspring . Part number 77900-s5a. It's just a ribbon cable inside an enclosure on the steering coloum. I see that problem a lot on your site and no definate answers to the problem. My complaint is that i don't think a safety item like this should wear out before 60,000 miles. The whole repair was $269.

During my sons vehicle accident (head on with pine tree) the air bags failed.i contacted the manurfacturer and the insurance companies.they both say that the other company is responsible for determining the problem with the failure.since it seems to me that it will require an engineer to determine the failure mode, this would be the manurfacture's issue.however they say no and will not provide any further assistance or any written document stating their position. Can you provide the information on who is responsible?
Srs light came on in july 2010, i took it in to my local mechanic to take a look.the computer code said it was a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly so they ordered the part and replaced it. A few weeks later the srs light came back on.i took it back to my mechanic and they said it was likely the whole srs unit that is bad because they could not get the computer code to clear.the mechanic suggested i take it to the honda dealer to get it fixed since it is a safety issue and should be covered under warranty.i took it to a honda dealer but was told it would not be covered under warranty, regardless of the issue.i contacted honda america corp and they explained that only the seatbelts are covered under an extended warranty and that the supplemental restraint system is not covered, as it is an additional safety feature.i have no working airbags now and honda will not fix this, despite there being recalls for the same issue on other 2001 civics
The srs sensor light stayed on continuously.the part has been repaired four times,however the problem still exists.
Takata recall - i hadrecall notice .- 7/13 - hennessy honda - woodstock, ga ( invoice # hocs623783) passenger airbag inflator was installed).at that time my mileage was 117,706.in sept. 2017 i took car to honda carland - alpharetta, ga (where i purchased the car in aug., 2001) as the srs light would not turn off. Mechanic was able to turn it off. In dec. 2017 both srs light and side airbag lights would not go off. I was told that the opds unit and sensor were bad internally, causing code 15-3 - need to be replaced, and quoted me over $1000 to do so.i believe this is related to the recallthat was received and supposedly fixed in 2013.. I feel that honda should replace the passenger side airbag assembly.both lights still remain on, and i am hesitant to let anyone sit in the passenger side seat.

I was leaving my home and driving about 1 mile to my destination. My car had been functioning normally earlier in the day. I noticed that the transmission slipped as i went up a small hill. Within 1/4 mile the torque converter failed (transmission failure) and i had power to the engine but no forward power. I was stuck in the middle of the road and could only get to safety at the side of the road by coasting. Had i been on a more heavily traffic road, or on a steep hill of which there are many here, the outcome could have been many injured or deaths as i was a sitting duck in the road.

My honda civic (2001 ex) has been into the dealer approximately 5 times since it was purchased for a problem with the srs light remaining on.this has occurred with or without items on the front seat of the passenger side of the car. Each time the problem was fixed, the srs light would come back on within days, weeks or months.i am concerned that there is a serious flaw in the design of the airbag system, which could result in a potentially fatal or serious injury, should the car be involved in an accident.

Yesterday the car seemed fine; windows clear, no smell, etc.however, when returning today the car had the smell of burnt plastic which was overpowering and went to see why it smelled and then noticed that the windows were covered in soot.the driver side door was opened and the smell was 100% stronger and you could see that the plastic on the passenger side dash was burnt and melting right around where the airbag; i will send pictures.it looked like the dash had melted from the inside out and besides the car covered in soot the damage is located specifically on the passenger side around the airbag and glove compartment.in working to complete this report i noticed how it asks how many miles are on the car, but the only way to see the number of miles is by turning the car on. I am hesitiant to turn the car on since i don't know what happened and don't think it is safe.however, i know the car has over 200,000 miles but i am not sure as the exact number of miles.
I was driving on the mass pike at approximately 65 mph and when traffic slowed in front of me i was unable to stop quickly enough.i squarely rear-ended the car in front of me and the airbags did not deploy.the srs light was not on prior to the accident.i was wearing my seatbelt, but sustained severe neck and back injuries from the accident.the autobody expert who fixed my vehicle reported that the airbags should have gone off.also, honda america told me there is nothing they can do about it and if the srs light is not on constantly, the airbags are functioning properly, which is obviously not true.

This in regards to honda's safety advisory recall, 2001-2002 accord/civic driver's airbag inflater (sb 08-093).i brought my car to honda west, 7615 west sahara avenue, las vegas, nv 89117.i showed two service representatives and the service manager the letter that i received from honda regarding the recall.they told me that i would need to leave my car there for two days so they can order the parts.that was not an option because i work and need transportation to get to work.i suggested to all of the representatives and manager to order the parts, call me when the parts are in, and i could bring my car back in for the recall. They did not want to do that because it was an inconvenience for them and insisted i leave my car for the two days. To me it sounded like they did not want to work on it because it was a free repair.i am very uncomfortable bringing my car back for this repair.how can i be confident that they will fix this issue without breaking something else and charging me.i would take my car elsewhere, but this is the only option in las vegas.please advise.
Sirs,recently the air bag warning indicator on the instrument panel,fails to go off indicating a problem with the safety air bag system.there is no routine maintenance recommended in my owners manual for this part,and since i read about recalls for this model car (honda civic 4 door 2001) i did not take it to the repair shop or dealer to examine. Through this website, i checked the vin's of the vehicles affected and my vehicle is not on that list of numbers. I believe that this is a manufacturing defect, it would probably be very costly to have it repaired.i have no idea how many complaints there are about this problem,and if i should just go ahead and have it looked at and eat the costs, or wait a little to see what you advise (if you do that at all). Thank you in advance,peter p
Srs light (airbag system light) has activated four times over the last year to this date indicating that the airbag system is not operational at that time.vehicle has been taken into perfection honda in albuquerque, new mexico, for repairs.different explanations have been given each time, and it was replaced on one occasion.the last explanation given was that a cellular telephone was being charged and/or used in the car near the seat.the srs light was reset.within one day the srs light had come on again at a time that no cellular telephone was being used and/or charged.honda's explanation of the use of electronic devices near the seat is not satisfactory as it places the driver and passengers in an unsafe situation.cellular telephone usage and/or charging may be necessary for personal safety but possibly will result in the airbag system not functioning during what could be a crucial time.honda should be forced to fix this defect immediately for the safety of its customers.numerous complaints have already been filed with the nhtsa concerning this situation.
I ran into the back of a full size truck going 35-40 mph the passenger side airbag deployed but the driver side airbag did not deploy i sustained head and chest trauma in which i hit the steering wheel.dt

Traveling at 20 to 25mph.guy in front of me slammed brakes on.i hit my brakes.brakes locked up and lost complete control of vehicle.slid about 10 feet into a 1997 gmc full size truck.my vehicle went up underneath truck bumper.neither of my airbags deployed.damage was $5148.33.reported to honda and was told that i was not traveling fast enough for airbags to go off.had me and passenger not had seat belts on we would have probably gone through windshield.
Srs light continues to go on after being reset.driving my car without airbags is unsafe and unacceptable.honda should fix this for free.
Consumer states the srs light has illuminated for the second time.
My srs light has been on, and the honda dealership around me never gave me a definite answer to why this is an issue. They said they are going to charge me for something that is defective on honda's end. Understanding that honda built its reputation on reliability and assurance, but this problem happened to so many hondas that i demand a recall.

The srs light came on and the dealer -- barber honda charged me $80 to reset it and no part needs to be replaced. This is a design fault that makes the customers pay unnecessary diagnoses and only benefit the dealer. This is a safety issue so the customer had no choice but to visit the dealer.
My srs light keep coming on in my 2001 honda civic ex.the light was replaced at ~24,000 miles in 2003 and it has come on again.the dealership says it is the ops sensor (ops something) and will be charging me again to repair it.

My son was about an hour out of sun valley idaho when he hit an elk! 5000 damage to his 2001 honda civic and lacerated face....airbag did not deploy.
Side airbag light would come on and off with passenger in car, taken to dealer by original owner, no resolution due to inability to duplicate problem. Paperwork regarding service inquiry given to me, i am the second owner. Problem appeared again,srs light also came on.. Took vehicle to dealer and now that it is out of warranty they diagnosed the problem as faulty occupant positioning sensor and not covered....the date entered as incident is not the initial date of complaint, it is the second dealer visit. This is as important in my eyes as seatbelts are.
The srs and side airbag lights are illuminated on the front dash.after having the takata airbag recall performed on my car, i was told that these lights were unrelated.instead, i would need to pay somewhere between $600-$1,000 to have the srs control unit replaced, which may solve the issue.in the meantime, my side and passenger side airbags will not work in a crash.i have not had any incidents yet (no crashes) but feel that i am at risk if i were to be in a crash during which airbag deployment would normally occur.
2001 honda civic sisrs light came on, after speaking with a few honda owners with same problem they all said there was caused by a faulty driver side belt buckle, also after researching on the internet noticed alot of complaints about same problem with srs and faulty buckle , went on to contact honda who also told me yes 99 % of the time the srs light comes on that specific car it is a faulty buckle,and this problem deactivates the airbag so if there's an accident the airbags wont deploy so if there's that many defected buckles for 2001 civic si shouldn't they considera recall?

My mother was stopped and waiting to make a left-handed turn into her neighborhood when she was rear ended and sent into oncoming traffic.her airbag deployed and she survived long enough to talk to my dad and tell him she had pain in her chest.she died on the way to the hospital and the cause of death was a ruptured aorta which was from the deployment of the airbag. She was 64 years old and was stopped making a simple turn into her neighborhood. I know it was the airbag that killed her, especially now that i know they have recalled the make and model of her honda civic due to faulty airbags.
"takata recall" i was on the freeway north in first lane, the vehicle was pulling heavy to the right. I remember going into a fishtail then to the right which was grassy and dirt . Slamming sideways up against a wall or fence ending up drivers side.driver's side steering airbag did not deploy.passenger side as i watch it pop out and smoking.several people had stopped to give me assistance and advised me to turn the car off due to it smoking.

The airbag srs light has needed to be reset four times since purchasing the new vehicle. The dealer is unsure if the airbag would deploy when the srs warning light is on. The dealer had a service bulletin posted in their office concerning this defect. The problem seems to be due to the susceptiblity of the airbag sensors to normally occurring rf from environmental sources that meetfcc standards for rf emissions. Honda has no effective solution for the problem. I would think that a recurring problem that poses a risk of the srs not deploying would be an unacceptable risk that would require mitigation. In every case, the srs light has come back on within a few days of service. I can't bring the vehicle back in on a weekly basis for an srs reset, so i have driven the vehicle extensively with no confidence that the srs system would deploy in an accident. If this is common enough to require a service bulletin, it may be only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed due to this defect.
My 2001 honda civic was part of a recall due to a problem with the srs. I went to the dealership and i was told that my car was also under recall due to a problem with the switch for the lights. The problem was with the low-beams. I made an appointment for both to be fixed. When i brought the car in, i was told that it was not part of the recall for the lightswitch, although the recall contained the make and model year of my car. I am disappointed that this wasn't fixed as part of the recall because i have been experiencing problems with the switch, going so far as to purchase two sets of headlights in the two years i have owned the car, and i don't understand why if it occurred in other cars made the same year as mine, why wouldn't honda fix it knowing it has been a problem.my vin apparently was a few numbers off. I would think that if i'm having the same problem, honda would fix my switch even though it isn't within the recalled vin range. My second complaint is that after having replaced the recalled part, the srs indicator light is still on. This dealership allowed me to drive away in my unsafe car, which will not pass inspection due to the safety issue. The final issue is that i was promised the car at 1 o'clock, and i didn't get a call that it was finished until almost 2 o'clock, and at that time i had to scramble to find someone at the very last minute to pick up my child from school. I will own this car in another six months, and i was sincerely hoping to trade it in for a newer model honda. I am not sure i'll do that now.
The srs light in my 2001 honda civic has been on for a month, which means my airbags will not deploy properly. Honda refuses to cover the cost of this safety issue.

I am writing to inform you of an airbag malfunction that occurred in my 2001 honda civic on july 14, 2009.i was injured in the accident as a direct result of the airbag failure.i was driving in rush hour traffic on july 14, 2009.going approximately 40 mph, i rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped for a light.the front of my honda smashed in, the windshield was smashed, and the front end and compartment compressed to the point that, despite the fact that i was wearing my seatbelt, the steering wheel jammed into my chest with great force.the passenger side airbag inflated, but the driver's side airbag did not.my car was totaled and not repairable.i was taken to the hospital by ambulance with severe chest contusions, and was out of work for 2 weeks in a great deal of pain.for months, i suffered with large hematomas on my breasts, severe bruising, and intense pain.to this day, my breasts are deformed and lumpy from months of hematomas, and my understanding is that i will have issues with this for many years, if not forever.i have photographs of both my injuries and the vehicle.

The srs indicator light came on and has been on for 2 years. I was t-boned on the passenger side by the gas tank, and the airbags did not deploy. I had taken the car to the dealer numerous times for maintenance & was never informed of this possibility due to the indicator light being on. Had i known, it would have been fixed or inspected. Now the dealer says it is not under warranty & at 100 hr. I do not want to have to hunt & peck to find the source of this electrical malfunction. Honda should extend the warranty to include electrical wiring & safety system components on 2001 models, based on 100's of other complaints by other civic owners. Also, the right window motor is burned out (since 2007), it almost stalls when in reverse (since 2005), have noticed a lag in acceleration in lower gears (60k), also abrupt downshifting (sometimes) & it makes an odd humming seeming to come from rear of vehicle when accelerating (this last week). Mileage is 87k, way too soon for a honda to give out.

I was driving my 2001 honda civic when a car ran a red light and drove into my driver side door.my complaint is that even though it was a side impact both of my front air bags went off, the problem was my car was still moving forward and i could not see where i was going and was very lucky to miss a light pole, a telephone pole, a electric grid box and several small trees all of which were in front of me.like i said i was very lucky to miss all of those objects but if i had hit one i would not have had the air bags to protect me because they had already deployed.i have pictures of the car from after the accident and it clearly shows that there was not a single scratch on the front bumper that could have caused the deployment of the air bags.i am currently car shopping to replace the totaled vehicle and would love to purchase another honda but i have doubts of the safety of their air bag deployment system.
While going about 40mph hit brakes and they locked up which caused me to slide into the car in front of me which was at a complete stop which then also caused me to slam against the stering wheel which broke all of the front dash because of such hard impact from my body my airbag did not deploy which caused neck and back injuries also had some deep gashes from my forhead to my ankles.

My horn stopped working and my srs light came on about a year and a half ago.the dealer originally told me it had to do with the wiring... Costing me $300 which i could not afford to repair.i took the car in for the air bag recall and now they are saying the srs light is on because of a defect in the seat belt buckle ($200)- but why would that make my horn stop working?there are a lot of complaints and this needs to be recalled as this is incredibly unsafe and obviously widespread!!! honda also needs to recall the transmission problems.i had fought them and they paid for half of the repair costs when my transmission dangerously and quickly went out in the middle of traffic during rush hour about three years ago.these are major safety issues!! unfortunately i cannot afford the repairs but i am scared to drive the car with the srs light on. I bought this car because of the supposed reliability and cheap maintenance.it is ridiculous that honda is not taking car of the srs light problem and transmission problem!!!

Srs light remains on possibly to the defective seat belt sensor as others have complained about.presently i need to replace front struts $800 - normal wear and tear for a car with 95000 miles on it. Ihate the new honda civic - i have no idea what they were thinking when they designed it so i decided to keep mine and have the normal stuff fixed.but - this is something that i am not the only one complaining about. Let's get the srs light covered under a recall.
American honda was required to notify car owners of a recall for driver's airbags to affected civic owners.i am one of those owners and never received notification.when seeing a notice for a recall from another manufacturer on the news, i logged into my honda owner link account - one which i have been a registered user for more than 2 years, and which contains my correct mailing address (the same as when i purchased the car) - and was able to see that my car is indeed in the scope of recalled vehicles.not only did i not receive my recall notice in the mail, the copy of the letter in my honda owner link is a pdf document that has security options that will not allow me to copy any portion of the letter to a word document or print the letter at home so i can take it to my local dealership.in addition, i notice from documents related to the recall on this website that honda notified nhtsa that approx 440,000 vehicles may be affected, but the copy of the service bulletin shown here tells dealers that only 7,000 vehicles may be expected.i am a dedicated honda owner, but it seems that honda is not fulfilling their obligations to their customers and the government - and using the pdf security settings to prevent those of us careful enough to check for ourselves from printing a copy of the letter.

My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.

The contact owns a 2001 honda civic lx. The contact stated she received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 09v259000(air bags: frontal: driver side inflator module) and had repairs performed on the vehicle at her local dealer. The frontal air bag inflator module was replaced however, the air bag warning sensor light was illuminated on the dashboard.

Sirs,recently the air bag warning indicator on the instrument panel,fails to go off indicating a problem with the safety air bag system.there is no routine maintenance recommended in my owners manual for this part,and since i read about recalls for this model car (honda civic 4 door 2001) i did not take it to the repair shop or dealer to examine. Through this website, i checked the vin's of the vehicles affected and my vehicle is not on that list of numbers. I believe that this is a manufacturing defect, it would probably be very costly to have it repaired.i have no idea how many complaints there are about this problem,and if i should just go ahead and have it looked at and eat the costs, or wait a little to see what you advise (if you do that at all). Thank you in advance,peter p

Side airbag light came on and stayed on with no one sitting in the passengers seat. Tried to re-set according to manual and disconnected battery for 3 minutes.no good.the car only has 50k on it and talking to other honda owners it is a chronic problem. I have an expensive car and i don't know if the airbags will work properly without taking it to the dealer so he can take my money.
I am requesting the current list of service bulletins regarding my air bags sensor/control module be expanded to include my vin number. Today i was told that i need to replace this piece on my 2001 honda civic. There are 2 nhtsa item # 623328 and 619975 for the control module for the 2001 civic and others bulletins for other honda control modules of the same year. I was told that my vin number is not on that list. Can you help me?
The srs light on my 2001 honda civic ex came on unexpectedly while i was driving the car.there was no crash, no front end damage...it just came on.i took it to the dealership where the car was purchased.they reset the light and told me that if it came on again, i would have to have the entire steering column replaced as the air bags would not work. This would cost me in excess of $800.while it was parked in the parking lot at work a few weeks later, the light came on again.again, no damage.the car has less than 25,000 miles on it.
The srs indicator light came on and wouldn't go off> i took the car to the local honda dealer where it was reset for a $30 diagnostic fee. The service manager said the diagnostic code indicated a low voltage situation and indicated that the battery tested fine. He asked if i did anything out of the ordinary that would have caused the problem and i told him that i had changed nothing in the way i operated the car. After looking at other complaints about this issue on your site, it seems this is a common affliction with honda's that has not been adequately addressed by the manufacturer and to replace the unit would be expensive for the owner. Honda should rectify this situation.
Dt:the caller said air bag light on the dashboard came on. She said she had it checked three times already, and now has to have it checkedagain. The caller said the srs sensor was replaced in 2002, and had not had problem until now. Dealer said they will not look at vehicle for free. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet. The caller was concerned about air bag not working when light was on.
Consumer states in the first week of driving the srs light came on.dealership advised that the sensor had simply tiggered.after four attempts to repair, the srs light would come on intermittently.dealership stated that there was indeed a problem with the srs system, but that they had no known fix.
I have taken my 2001 honda civic hx to the dealer on multiple times to have the srs light repaired. The first time they reset the light and it came back on in a couple of days. The second time they stated that the opds was malfunctioning probably due to aftermarket electronics (cell phone, radio, etc). The light came back on the same day. They stated that the module would have to be replaced and is not covered by my extended warranty. With the light on my air bags will not work.
2001 honda civic srs light is on. Vehicle has diagnostic codes 15-3 and 15-1. Vehicle needs opds sensor and control unitvehicle has 60,000 miles and is out of warranty repair is over $1000honda should have to recall this safety and repair it for free - i understand it is a recurring problem on 2001 honda civics.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.the contact stated that the srs light illuminated, which indicated that the air bag was malfunctioning.the dealer could not remedy the issue.the contact was informed that if the light illuminated again, a decision would have to be made on whether to replace the air bag or drive without one.the manufacturer would not provide any assistance regarding the repairs.the contact feels that this is a safety issue because the air bags would not deploy in the event of a crash.the current mileage was 79,000 and failure mileage was 78,000. Updated 08/19/09the dealer reset the light, however a week and a half later, the light came back on again.updated 08/20/09.
The srs light for the front seat passenger side airbag comes on.when it is on, the airbag will not work.i have brought it into the honda dealership 3 times previously. Twice they reset the light, the third time they replaced the module.the light stayed off for a short while, but has since come back on.if someone is sitting in the passenger seat the light goes off. If no one is in the passenger seat the light comes on.today my car is back at the honda dealership and they are looking at trying to fix it.looking at the other reports here, this appears to be a problem that should be researched and a recalled issued as it is a safety issue.
Passenger airbag light has come on for 4th time.taken to dealer for repairs. Every time dealer saidproblem was remedied, but light continued to come on.the consumer says clock can not be set because the light keeps flashing as air bag light stays on.
The srs light on my 2001 civic-ex came on at 75k miles. I have reset the system about 10 time an the light always comes on. The last time it happened i unbuckled my seat belt and the light just came on.
About 1 month ago my srs light came on. I have been weary to take the vehicle in to the dealer because they seem to have no answer to the problem. Apparently the vehicle's airbags will not deploy when the srs light is on.
Srs light remains on in my vehicle. Visited forums that discussed same problems in other civic ex vehicles (also odyssey and accord models). Apparently it is a common problem. Dealership unable to fix the problem permanently.
The srs light came on after less than 6 month after purchased the vehicle brand new.the dealer just reset the light and it would come on within weeks again.it took the dealer 3 times before admitting the srs module is defective.then it took another month before they could obtain the part and replaced it.within a year, the srs light came on again and claimed the module is defective again and will cause $400 to replace it.
Srs light stays on all the time / airbags do not function.
Srs sensor failure in passenger seat.the vehicle is not even 5 yrs. Old yet.i do not know how long srs sensors are supposed to last, but according to the warranty company, which did not cover replacement of the ineffective device, this part does not typically go out on a honda.i feel, in the case that the lifetime of this piece of equipment was shorter than expected, that this could pose a potential threat in the event of an accident.as i was informed by the dealer, the srs sensor detects whether a passenger is in the passenger seat and sends a signal to the airbag to deploy.obviously when the sensor is failing to detect a passenger the airbag will not deploy.fortunately, i was able to afford the repair but i have concern for those who do not.in addition, i feel it is irresponsible for any warranty company to exclude such an important component in a safety system on a vehicle.the diagnostic code is 15-3.
Srs light comes on and does not go off. If there was an accident, the air bags would not function.we were told to keep wallets off the seat and cell phones out of the car.is there any resourse to fix this problem and why has it not been recalled.the dealer has reset and charged us three times and has not yet fixed the problem.
The srs indicator appeared in the dash panel of vehicle, consumer took vehicle to dealer and informed conumer that there was a faulty airbag system, it took two failed control units to determine that the problem was the two sensors in the system and that the problem was resolved.
The srs light appeared on the dashboard while driving and remained on. Driver took vehicle to dealer for inspection, andmechanic determined that a sensor needed to be replaced.
Srs light keeps coming on for no reason.has happened 4 times and honda won't "fix" it.airbags don't work when light is on and car will not pass va state inspection with light on.honda charges over $85.00 to run diagnosis but each time finds nothing wrong and just resets the light.why won't honda fix this problem.
Srs warning light went on after car was parked at work all day. (also shortly after work was done on my car for the headlamp recall) called honda dealer to make appt and asked if airbags would be working if light was on and was told yes. Took it to honda dealer for repair. They reset it. $80 diagnostic charge. Approx 2.5 days later, the srs warning light came on. Called dealer to complain. They said they have to replace the sensor for approx $400. Took it to honda dealer for repair. Got call from dealer as car was being worked on. The repair will require two sensors and $800. Was told while warning light is on, my airbags don't work.
The srs light on my 2001 honda civic has come on on at least three occasions. The first time it was under warranty so the dealership fixed it. The second time, it came on in june 2004, the car was out of warranty. The dealer diagnosed the problem as srs unit failure and i spent close to $400 to replace it from the dealer. The light came on another time in 2005 but it turned off after a couple of days. This time, in sept 2006, the light has come on all of a sudden.i have researched this problem on the internet and it seems that this isa problem faced by most honda civic and accord owners. I believe this is a gave safety issues since the dealer indicated that the air bags wont deploy if the srs light is on. I feel honda is not making enough efforts to fix the problem since it has been observed in 02 models as well. And i certainly do not feel happy about spending hundreds of dollars to fix it everytime it happens. Honda dealers have a scripted answer to this problem ..blaming it on electronic interference, laptops, cell phone usage. I think that is bologna.
Was driving whensrs light came on & did not blink. Took to dealership.first timeit was their for 2 weeks. 2nd timelight was off 1 day, but came back on.
Brakes never worked right, felt like not stopping quick enough, had replaced 3 or 4 times since 2001, but to this day, when stopping suddenly with brake pedal fully to floor, car doesn't want to stop & is scary. Was rear ended,radio & speakers quit working,replaced & alarm quit working, had to have it completely removed & had damaged fly wheel. Alarm malfunction was causing car to run in "safe mode" and car was using too much gas. The gas indicator is not accurate, and slow to adjust to empty or full levels, even when in perfect weather. Even now i am certain that i do not get good gas mileage in city or highway driving & feel this car is vastly overrated in every way! srs indicator light is always on for 3 years now, red in color, i never knew this was a problem before reading bulletins ( but do now). Right front window was slow to roll down for months, then wouldn't roll up in cold weather, and now won't work at all regardless of weather conditions. Is stuck, and where i thought it might be a simple fuse issue, now we're finding out it will be a $600 window motor issue. Not a very happy honda customer right now. Ironically, i bought this civic because of a prior positive experience owning a honda crx, which was wonderful. This honda civic 2001 has changed the way i view honda's in general, unfortunately.
2001 honda civic ex, srs light stays on.code 15-3. Opd system sensor was replaced 9/21/01 under warranty. Light went back on a short time later. Someone in the service department told my daughter that it was nothing to worry about, because this light sometimes went on for no reason. Unfortunately, he did not explain that the airbags are disabled when this light is on. She has been driving it with the light on since 2001. (she assumed it was only a dummy light, like "maintenance required"). Yesterday, i took it to the dealership and they charged $79 to diagnose the same problem, and want $810 dollars to replace the sensor, since it is no longer under warranty. This morning, i did a little research on the internet (www.autofan.com/forum) and found that this is a known issue with honda, and that there are many other honda civic owners with the same problem. In addition, it seems as if a new sensor will not solve the problem, since other owners report additional failures even when the original sensor is replaced. I am very concerned, i consider this a serious safety issue.
Srs light stays on all of the time.when i took it to bradenton honda for other issues, they cehcked it, reset the computer and said if it came on again, to bring it back in.it has come on again and stays on. In reviewing your complaints, seems it is an increasing problem for this year and model of honda.
Srs light went on for no reason.airbags will not deploy if in accidenthonda wants to charge $700 to fix. They say they its a wear and tear issue but it should have lasted at least 100,000 miles not 68,000miles.
Dt: the contact's son noticed the air bag warning light illuminated on the dashboard.the vehicle was not involved in any previous accidents, and there were no prior warnings indicating a problem with the air bag system. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer, and they said the module control unit needed to be replaced.the vehiclewas being repaired.
Honda civic 2001 srs light will not shut off - dealer can't fix - say air bags don't work when light is on.
I am the original buyer of honda civic 2001 4dr and srs light goeson frequently. As long as the car was under warranty dealer used to fix it without any charge. Last time in 2004 i got it fixed by the dealer. At that time car was out of warranty, but as the problem existed before the expiration of warranty they fixed it.srs light problem reappeared in march 2007 , and when i took the car to the dealer, he said that problem was not the same. He stated that somethingwas wrong in seat back sensor. Dealer is aware of the recall on srs from honda...and now he is not willing to help me. I never had any accident.there is some inherent problem with srs in this car. Dealer wants me to pay $600 to fix it.this the 6th time srs light is on.
The srs sensor light stays on in my 2001 civic -- the dealer states that it is not under warranty to fix -- it is a costly repair.i only have 33,000 miles on the car. In reading the other complaints -- i see that it is a growing problem for thismodel and year of honda -- a recall would benefit all since it is a major safety concern.
The srs light continuously stays on even after resetting.after reading many experiences from other honda civic owners with similar vehicles and problems, will anything be done to correct this issue.my local dealer claims that this problem is caused by my cellular phone even though i do not always have my phone in my vehicle.i would like to make a formal complaint and try to get this problem corrected.
The srs light stays on all the time now.
Srs light lights up at regular interval, dealer resets computer and it goes off and then comes back again after sometime (irregularly).a safety concern as air bags goes off during this time, if this happens moments before a crash that is extremely dangerous.
I own a 2001 honda civic.at 45,000 miles the safety restraint system light came on.since it was a safety issue honda should be responsible for investigating and repairing the defect.however, honda disputed this.if the airbag didn't deploy or seat belts didn't work serious injury could be incurred.
Srs light came on while driving.taken to dealership-was told it was an intermittent problem probably due to something put on the front seat.computer was reset & two weeks later light came on again & this time service person @ the dealer stated the airbag sensor failed & would be very costly to repair & is not under warranty or honda care(45,000 miles on vehicle).
My 2001 honda civic lx 4 door srs light came on this morning and will not turn off. This appears to be a problem with lots of honda civics. Honda needs to declare this issue a recall and fix the problem, without charging the customer diagnostic fees.
The "srs" lighton my 2001 honda civic lx came on a few months ago without any apparent reason and has not turned off.according to what i have read, this indicates that there is some type of a problem with the air bag / safety restraint system.as far as i know, honda covers only seat belts for the life of the car.airbags are supposed to be so important (and are never used unless in a crash); i cannot understand why they do not cover these very important safety devices.from what i have read, the air bags will not deploy as long as that "srs" light is on.this isa sad day for all americans.who can afford to pay to have this repaired?????i know i can't.it seems this is a common problem with hondas.hopefully there will be a recall before people get killed or seriously injured as a result.
I am the second owner and have owned my first (honda) civic ex for nearly two years in march of 2006. One day after work i got home, ate then i jumped in to my honda and the srs came up.as i research more , it came to be the air bags.i have not taken the car to the appropriate dealer but after reading all the blocs with these problems, i hope there is a defect replacement from honda.this item is not even being used as a functioning part other than sensor or so.i am not complaining about a window that i would use all the time.it is a product that is not in function in normal use otherwise i would take my end of the bargain and replace it.
I just noticed the srs indicator is on without obvious reason. It might be caused by heavy loptop bag in the passenger seat. My car is honda civic ex 2001. The dealer asks $115 to diagnosis only, needless to say fix. The nature of the defect is safety issue. Honda should either to make the design or have this part in the life time warranty.
I have a 2001 honda civic ex. I have a problem with the srs light. I have talked to howard nathan at turn to 2 ( wdtn ) about this. The problem stims from an electronic interference ( cell phone , lap top etc ) but it was my phone. I bought the car ( 6/2/05 ) and the light was on and then i took it back to the dealership where i purchased it. They fixed it and 2 weeks later it came back on. They fixed it well in the same week the light came on and i told them and i set up an appt for wednesday ( 7/7 ) and they took it to hidy honda. After charging the dealship where i bought it 80 bucks all they basically did was delete the code out of the system and nopthing else. I emailed howard nathan and we have been discussing this problem and it needs to be fixed before a death occurs.
The srs indicator appeared in the dash panel of vehicle, consumer took vehicle to dealer and informed conumer that there was a faulty airbag system, it took two failed control units to determine that the problem was the two sensors in the system and that the problem was resolved.
The side air bag light was on.the vehiclehad been serviced by replacing the seat sensor. But,problem still existed.
Re: 2001 honda civic coupe with side air bags; passenger seat side airbag sensors defective (i.e. Contacts broken). With no one in seat the side airbage caution light remains on. Problem due to seat pad sensor assembly failure (part no. 81122-s5p-a21).pad assemby replaced by honda dearlership. Repair cost was $418.55. Side air bag seat pad assemby currently not under warrenty or covered by an official safety recall. Please advise if further information is needed.
9/28/04 - on this day i have taken my 2001 honda civic ex to the dealer for the 5th time to deal with the side air bag warning light coming on.over the first 4 times they have reinitialized the system and replaced the computer component.they informed me they were on the phone with their "tech support" people all morning.the only solution they could come up with is to replace the seat back.i am very concerned about this safety feature as it could lead to myself or a passenger being seriously hurt or killed in a crash.please check into this, as i have notice there are other complaints about this on the website.
Both frontal and side air bag lights would come on intermittently or remain on while driving. Dealer and manufacturer were notified.vehicle taken to dealership, but srs light is on at all times.side air bag light comes on intermittently.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving 5-10 mph, the driver side air bag deployed without warning.the driver suffered a sore arm and neck.the dealer refused to inspect the vehicle to determine the cause of failure.approximately two days later, the passenger side air bag deployed without warning.the dealer inspected the vehicle, however, they were unable to determine the cause of the failure.the current and failure mileages were 117,000.the consumer stated in may 2007 the recall work was completed on the srs due to faulty opds on the passenger side. The dealer stated check rattle under front end, needs front struts. Updated 10/18/07
While traveling on main street another vehicle hitconsumer's vehicle onleft hand side, anddriver's side airbag didn't go off.
Srs light illuminates and side airbag light illuminates.repeated problems with lights, but dealer said it was due to the way the passenger was sitting in the seat.complaining to dealer over the past two years.
My daughter was driving 2001 honda civic lx sedan equipped with side airbag optional.while she was 3rd in line of cars stopped at red light, another car proceeded to left turn from intersecting road at speed, lost control, and crashed into her driver's side door.that driver then proceeded to leave the scene of the accident...hit and run.damage to her car extended from just forward of the driver's door, the entire driver's door, and partly onto the driver's side rear door.the side impact air bag did not deploy.damage to the car was extensive and the car has been totaled by state farm.impact was strong enough to shatter the driver's side window, fracture the windshield, and push the car sideways into the curb on the passenger's side, damaging both the front and rear tires on the passenger's side due to curb impact.my complaint is why didn't the side airbag deploy?
While stationary vehicle was involved in a crash, and air bag on driver's side did not deploy. Contacted dealer.
I was hit directly on both driver side doors and no air bags deployed. Due to this malfunction i sustained head and neck injuries. During the period i leased the car the srs light came on a number of times. I reported it to my dealer first he said dont worry next he said it was the way i was sitting on the seat.
An electrical burning smell while driving approx 45 mph turned out to be the master power window regulator and the fuse. I have read several forums online stating the same issues, but no one knows the cause. Very scary.
When i turn our hit a bump it pops and feels like it's going to fall apart when i drive as well as makes the car hard to steerand the car trys to turn off
Stalls out / loses power while driving, cannot maintain speed even when floored, worse on hot days, doesn't happen in the winter, the main fuel relay gets real hot and car will not run until it sits for about 5 or 10 minutes, then sometimes (when 90+ degrees out) will only run for a few minutes before it happens again, i have already replaced the relay and its still happening.
Car does not start when i turn the key. It usually start after the 8 or 9 try. It started doing thatabout 6 months ago, but in the past few weeks it has happened about every time i try to start the car.
The air bag light of the consumer's 2001 honda civic illuminated twice.the srs light was repaired and it may have attributed to the garage door opener.the air bag light stayed on. *sc
On 3/21/07 my 2001 honda civic ex with 109k miles displayed on engine light reporting a p0740 torque converter failure.this was diagnosed by willet honda in morrow, ga and two other independent shops.a transmission repair/replacement of $2400 was the recommendation.the car was running fine then and now, 35k miles and two yrs later, the car is still running fine with the engine light on.american honda has offered no help.i cannot pass an emission test with the light on and i am very confident something else is wrong like a sensor.a research of this problem shows it is quite common among civics and other may have paid for unnecessary transmission repairs.
I own a 2001 honda civic lx. I purchased the vehicle overseas from a civilian employee of the united states army. This person hadpurchased the vehicle from the original owner. On or about 12 july 2009 my wife and i were in the vehicle when i noticed the distinct odor of an electrical short coming from the steering column.the next day, my wife saw puffs of smoke coming from the steering column and a much stronger odor associated with an electrical short.the problem was diagnosed by a local garage in schertz, tx and exactly matches the symptoms of the following recall feb 24, 2004 | recall id# 75776.the complaint goes beyond the initial electrical problem as my wife attempted to bring this to the attention of both a local honda dealer, gilman honda in selma, tx and to honda.com via their customer service hotline.both entities stated words to the affect of "that vin doesn't exist."through investigation, we discovered that honda dropped the vin once the vehicle shipped overseas as part of the military new car sales program.neither entity, either the local dealer or honda usa made any attempt to resolve this very serious safety matter.this is a potential problem for any military service member that purchases an american car while stationed overseas and needs some regulatory agency to mandate a fix.
Problems with keyless entry and headlights.*mr the headlights only worked on high beam.the vehicle had been taken to several mechanics for the problem but they could not help.the keyless entry did not work when the vehicle was returned to the consumer and after that the headlights did not work again.the doors had to be opened and locked manually.the headlights did not work due to a previous accident.*sc
2001 honda civic experienced problems with headlight failures and dashboard gauges. *mr the front headlights would cut out intermittently in which honda replaced two bulbs.the left front headlight cut out and one bulb was replaced.the right front headlight cut out again and one bulb was replaced.the gauges were erratic along with flickering front headlights.honda could not verify the problem.the consumer felt that he should not be responsible for the repairs. *scthe dealer told the consumer the problem was not related to the recall.
I purchased this car used, and you cannot see the speedometer or any gauge when the sun hits the plastic covering them. It is a serious issue. I cannot believe honda hasn't recalled the plastic or at least put something on it. This has to be addressed. I owned a 2002 honda civic before this and it did not have the same angle on the dash so there was never an issue.
We were driving around running errands on a 75 degree weather.we were on the road when the car just all of a sudden downshifted.the engine light came on.so, we went to mcdonalds to let the car cool down, lifting the hood.an advanced auto zone was right across the street.after a bit, we took it over,there.they tested it and said it wasn't the engine at all; battery, alternator, etc.they then told us to take it the auto parts store and have them test it with their tools because they didn't have the correct tool needed to do the particular test needed done.so, we limped the car down the road.we explained the problem, they got their computer tester out and came up with several different codes. The funny thing is, after about 1/2 an hour, after the codes were tested, the engine light went off.we called our mechanic and got an appointment for him to test it and see what was going on.he found a used emc computer chip/component and replaced the old one.when we got the car back, we heard this awful noise that we hadn't heard.we were told it was the exhaust manifold, that it would be noisy and would get worse over time.now, we can't drive it too far without it downshifting.the hot air just gets to it.we are on a very fixed income.this is my husband's car.he is disabled.all we have is his disability.we also have 3 1/2 year old son.i don't feel safe driving it with my son in the car because it has been hot over the summer we can't run the a/c because that just exacerbates the situation.i think there should be a recall because my husband bought this car because he thought it was a reliable car.we have spoken to the honda dealer about it.they don't seem to care.we have had to use my '97 pontiac grand am.it has had issues too.our mechanic said there has been no recall as of yet.we have called junk yards and looked on line.who can afford something like this?well, his sister had the same issue with hers.
Low beam lights failed while driving, it was discovered that the head light combo switch failed and the electrical connection attached to the switch melted. *laafter the componets were replaced, the consumer was advised by the dealer to replace the wiring harness to avoid a potential fire.
The vehicle gauge cluster reads the wrong information. It caused me to stall on the freeway driving 65 mph. I completely ran out of fuel and the gauge read that i had 1/4 of a tank left. Others have complained about this issue on the internet. The fuel, mph, and temperature readings are all off.
I received a 2001 honda civic lx from my dad as a gift around the end of april, 2018.which he had spent about 2000 in the motor before giving it to me. The issues occurred with the car over heating right when we landed into las vegas which we were coming from san dimas california, it took about 3-4 hours to get back home. I had issues with my car over heating a lot which had to do with the sensors at first which had gotten replaced. Than after the fan to cool down the radiator wasn't working properly to where only one fan would kick in. Now out of no where my car had issues accelerating which should be investigated before somebody really gets hurt. From all the reviews thank god in the long run everybody is okay but in order for this to be recalled it's like people need to be injured or deaths need to really occur before when things like this should be fixed so serious problems don't occur in leads to death. I almost got side swiped when i had no choice but to try to move to saftey really slow which i didn't have control of the car moving at that paste when it wouldn't move any faster than what it wwas.since i found out my car having issues on accelerating and being able to move around i find out there is the air bag recall which i receive a paper in mail to fix but how when i can't even get there. It's the end of july 2018 in which my car is officially unable to be moved. So many problems within 3 months and so much money wasted it's ridiculous.
My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that there was an electrical short that caused the low beam headlights to fail. The contact had to apply the high beams due to the failure, which was progressing. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 04v086000 (exterior lighting). Prior to the contact owning the vehicle, it was repaired according to the recall, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.
Own a 2001 honda civic lx check engine light once up with code p0740. Had the code read at autozone went out. Now it has come back.
The srs indicator light came on and has been on for 2 years. I was t-boned on the passenger side by the gas tank, and the airbags did not deploy. I had taken the car to the dealer numerous times for maintenance & was never informed of this possibility due to the indicator light being on. Had i known, it would have been fixed or inspected. Now the dealer says it is not under warranty & at 100 hr. I do not want to have to hunt & peck to find the source of this electrical malfunction. Honda should extend the warranty to include electrical wiring & safety system components on 2001 models, based on 100's of other complaints by other civic owners. Also, the right window motor is burned out (since 2007), it almost stalls when in reverse (since 2005), have noticed a lag in acceleration in lower gears (60k), also abrupt downshifting (sometimes) & it makes an odd humming seeming to come from rear of vehicle when accelerating (this last week). Mileage is 87k, way too soon for a honda to give out.
Started car drove it to work, about a mile into drive engine stalled, car started to sputter, then stall again. Took to mechanic, it was a faulty ignition switch. 1997-2000 honda civic models were involved in a faulty ignition switch recall, i wonder if 2001 should have been included as well.
Buzzing sound coming from ignition switch when turned mostly to the off position. Otherwise no issues.
The instrument cluster on my 2001 honda civic lx progressively underwent failure from intermittent to highly unreliable over a period of 6-8 months.at times i was driving with no instrument display. Repairs are being performed by a honda dealer.

Takata recall.my 2001 honda civic has been sitting my my drive for about a month and is not being used as my primary vehicle. Yesterday the car seemed fine; windows clear, no smell, etc.however, when returning today the car had the smell of burnt plastic which was overpowering and went to see why it smelled and then noticed that the windows were covered in soot.the driver side door was opened and the smell was 100% stronger and you could see that the plastic on the passenger side dash was burnt and melting right around where the airbag; i will send pictures.it looked like the dash had melted from the inside out and besides the car covered in soot the damage is located specifically on the passenger side around the airbag and glove compartment.in working to complete this report i noticed how it asks how many miles are on the car, but the only way to see the number of miles is by turning the car on. I am hesitiant to turn the car on since i don't know what happened and don't think it is safe.however, i know the car has over 200,000 miles but i am not sure as the exact number of miles.
Srs light on my 2001 honda civic is on and the problem, according to the dealer is a code 15-3 for opds unit failure. With this light on the air bags in my car will not function in a crash. Honda had extended the coverage for this repair for 10 years or 150,000 miles.the problem is that i missed the cut off for a covered repair by 11 months.the car currently has less than 85,000 miles on it.the dealership, valley honda of monroville pa, wants to charge 325 dollars for the repair that i feel should be covered by the car company because i believe the problem is in their equipment.
Parked the vehicle driveway, exited the vehicle with keys in hand.walked behind the vehicle to speak to neighbor, the neighbor noticed car rolling, we both jump out of way.vehicle rolls down hill across street onto neighbor property and flips on the neighbor's retaining wall.ignition key was removed from the ignition switch with the vehicle in the drive position.

I purchased a 2001 honda civic coupe ex, in november 2000.it has been nothing but problems ever since.ive been to two different honda service centers almost 20 times now.the car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes.the car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted.then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of honda, after they assured me that my car was fine.this has been an ongoing problem with honda.they fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing.the car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, honda finds nothing.the windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, honda finds nothing.all four tires are leaking, honda at first find nothing wrong, now say i have to replace tires.the driver's seat is loose and rocking, honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, honda finds nothing wrong.seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety.now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny.i think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost.im very concerned for my safety at this point.i even reached out to honda consumer affairs in california, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while i had the rental, to report the rental stolen because i asked if i could hold the rental until honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by honda that day as well)i am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten.there are numerous other problems i didn't list here, too many to list.i would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you. *nlm

2001 honda civic srs light is illuminated.the dealership has inspected and reset three times. The first time they claimed that my purse, which i sometimes put on the seat, must be too heavy.the second time they replaced the battery on a car with less than 8,000 miles.the third time they insisted that i must be putting articles heavier than 10 pounds on the seat.i have been careful about leaving the seat clear. The light came on within a couple of weeks of the last reset.
Vehicle's connector contacts were broken, causing the head lights to be inoperable. Dealer was notified. Ph
My horn stopped working and my srs light came on about a year and a half ago.the dealer originally told me it had to do with the wiring... Costing me $300 which i could not afford to repair.i took the car in for the air bag recall and now they are saying the srs light is on because of a defect in the seat belt buckle ($200)- but why would that make my horn stop working?there are a lot of complaints and this needs to be recalled as this is incredibly unsafe and obviously widespread!!! honda also needs to recall the transmission problems.i had fought them and they paid for half of the repair costs when my transmission dangerously and quickly went out in the middle of traffic during rush hour about three years ago.these are major safety issues!! unfortunately i cannot afford the repairs but i am scared to drive the car with the srs light on. I bought this car because of the supposed reliability and cheap maintenance.it is ridiculous that honda is not taking car of the srs light problem and transmission problem!!!
Car is stalling and not wanting to pick up speed.
Ignition key hot to touch after driving---noticed this occurs more when air conditioning is used.
The keys get stuck in the ignition and at times will not come out at all.
Vehicle was broadsided while making a slow left hand turn, the steering column locked up.no injuries, vehicle was totalled.while making a left turn, an oncoming vehicle hit the passenger side rear quarter panel.because the vehicle couln't be controlled, it slid head on into a telephone pole, deploying the air bags and totalling the vehicle.the ignition key is stuck in the ignition.*scc

When braking, car idle drops so low that car tends to hesitate and sometimes stalls.the problem is intermittent.have taken the car to dealer about 4 times regarding idle and stalling.pcm was checked each time, and dealer found no codes.dealer could not replicate problem.car also stalled and cut off when i was at a traffic light after applying the brakes.i noticed that there was a recall by honda for the lx and dx regarding a similar problem.why hasn't honda looked into the ex model?what could be the problem?could it be the iac?could it be the pcm?i am terrified of driving the car.what if the car cuts off/stalls and an accident occurs?i hope honda looks into this problem as soon as possible.i am not the only one experiencing this problem with the ex models.a few other people have been, and this is beginning to be a growing concern among honda consumers.honda seems to be a reputable car manufacturer, how can they let a problem like this slip through there quality control?i am quite frustrated with the car and all the problems i have been having.the reason i spent so much money on a honda, is because of quality.where is the quality?i have even had problems with the driver side car seat rocking back and forth.dealer finally fixed the problem after 4 attempts.again i am asking what happened to the quality in a honda car, where has it gone?
Consumer was not able to remove the key from the ignition switch while vehicle was parked. Dealer notified.

1) on several occasions, when key is turned to start the car only an electrical buzzing sound is heard. The car starts normally when key is turned a second time. 2) occasionally, when car starts normally a brief buzz is heard. 3) most recently, when key was turned the engine cranked for 1-2 seconds then stopped and only buzzed. Car started normally when key was turned a second time. These problems are intermittent, have occured for five months and occured three times last week (most frequent occurence so far). Weather and miles driven do not play a role as problem has occured under multiple conditions. Dealer is aware of problem, but unable to duplicate it in four visits.

I was driving in a residential area when my sister and i noticed smoke coming out of the hood.we pulled over into a supermarket parking lot, and i tried to pop open the hood but it was too hot.i looked under and saw fire.my sister tried to look beneath the car and saw fire also.she ran into the supermarket to get a fire extinguisher.a security guard came out with the fire extinguisher and opened up the hood for me and put the fire out.after the fire was out, we looked inside to see what looked to be the oxygen sensor wires all melted.the security guard hypothetically stated that there wasn't anything holding the wires up which caused it to touch the motor.my car was towed to the nearest dealership.
Whenair conditionerbeing usedinterior lights and the exterior lights will get very dim which has caused poor driver's visibility when driving at night whenlights are needed.lights dimming a lot when a/c, electric windows, brakes and turn singnals are used.
While traveling approximately 25 to 30 mph and making a turn, engine stalled and causedsteering column to lock up.this problem did not result in a crash or injuries.dealership examinedvehicle forengine stalling, but has failed to remedy the problem.while driving, consumer heard a metal to metal sound coming from right wheel well.consumer was told computer was not set properly according to the vin code, this was a service bulletin, dealer stated this could be why stalling was occurring, 4 fuses blew and now dealer replaced fuse box, dealer thinks this may be a reason why the vehicle stalled also, dealer also states that he does not know why the fuses blew to begin with, the blown fuse caused moonroof to be inoperable.vents loose.trunk release inoperable.springs squeak and were replaced.defective weld in the passenger side door rusted.vehicle experiences rough idle.driver side tweeter cracking.driver side mud flap loose.passenger kick panel uneven.fuel gauge erratic.
When i turn the ignition on, i sometimes hear a spark buzz coming from the interior of the display panel of the speedometer, etc. I am not sure this is normal. It could be a wiring connection problem. Unable to take it to local honda dealer or ask questions. They are very unhelpful. Have driven thousands of vehicles, and never have heard such spark buzz noise coming from the dashboard when turning ignition on.honda corporation has not answered my inquiry.
The malfunction indicator illuminated.vehicle has been to the dealer for this problem six times.the dealer could not determine the problem.
When i start the car (with my foot on clutch), a buzzing sound comes on and i'm guessing it's from the dash. It has happened several times in the past but i just ignored it. Until recently i read from your website that a similar complaint has been lodged so i decided to complain.
The dash wiring harness switch melted which caused the head lights to fail.
When i turn our hit a bump it pops and feels like it's going to fall apart when i drive as well as makes the car hard to steerand the car trys to turn off
My airbag was replaced last year. And now it will not pass mandatory state inspectionsdue to a abs light that will not go off.

The check engine light came on while we were on the highway. After checking the code and the fluids we continued driving with no issues. The code did not say anything about the transmission going out. After 15 miles the cars transmission gave out with no warning leaving us stranded in a town with no honda dealership.
The transmission slips i don't know why but my car just has 103 000 miles and i don't think that should start happening

The drivers and passengers airbags did not deploy during a frontal impact crash involving a honda civic and gmc yukon truck. My vehicle the honda civic was heading on a two-lane street at approximately 35 to 40 miles per hour before impact into a stopped truck making a left turn across oncoming traffic while honda was in motion the brakes were applied. Cause is unknown at this time on why the airbags did not deploy. All recalls have been complied with for the 2001 honda civic. Recall 13v-132: recall 14v-351 completed. Number of open recalls are zero at this time.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving, the contact noticed a fuel odor throughout the vehicle. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the fuel odor became stronger and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to west broad honda at (804) 672-1111 (7014 w broad st, richmond, va 23294), but the failure could not be replicated. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to west broad collision center at (804) 217-6354 (9001 w broad st, richmond, va 23294) where the mechanic stated that he smelled a strong fuel odor and that the vehicle would need to be taken back to west broad honda. West broad honda diagnosed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact was informed that the battery needed to be replaced and the radiator was cracked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 01v182000 (fuel system, gasoline) and nhtsa campaign number: 01v183000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
Was turning left and when i went to go the cars rpms went up but the car didn't move..it just didn't do it once but three times at three different stops...the transmission wouldn't allow the car to move.....where's the recall?almost got hit from behind on one of the incidents...
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact was driving 30 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact then noticed that smoke was emitting from under the hood area just as the engine area caught on fire. The contact was able to exit the vehicle without injuries. The fire was extinguished by the local fire department. A fire report was not filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage yard. The manufacturer was not notified of the incident. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Engine and cooling system. Every part of the cooling system was checked and replaced including thermostat, water pump, timing belt, radiator, and all hoses. After running several diagnostic tests the car was showing no codes but would still overheat at times causing terrible situations on the highways. Please fix this
Started car drove it to work, about a mile into drive engine stalled, car started to sputter, then stall again. Took to mechanic, it was a faulty ignition switch. 1997-2000 honda civic models were involved in a faulty ignition switch recall, i wonder if 2001 should have been included as well.
Upon entering expressway, going to change lanes - transmission totally failed.nothing but engine reving when pushing on accelerator. No warning lights, nothing.almost got killed due to truck having to stop as we coasted off highway. Upon having vehicle towed to dealer (honda lisle) and going on line i find that this is a very common occurrence for this vehicle and model year.why has there not been a recall notice on this. This is truly a danger to the drivers of this vehicle. There are thousands of similar experiences posted online.
I was yet another unfortunate victim of honda's cheap transmission and i say cheap in that it doesn't work properly not that it is cheap to get it repaired. No that is over $2000 according to my local honda dealership. After taking such good care of my car diligently taking it in for oil changes and tune ups at honda's recommended mileage; i am severely disappointed. I had just pulled up to a busy stop light, when the light turned green i hit the gas and my car moved forward like usual, but suddenly right as i past the intersection the car's transmission started slipping and then just died. I shut the car off, started it back up and some how after a few minutes managed to get the transmission to hold just enough to pull it into a turn off. I had numerous people honking and yelling at me to get off the road. Honda if you're listening, i won't be buying another vehicle from you. Nhtsa if you're listening please i implore you to do an investigation this could very likely cause someone to get hurt or killed.
Driving on high way and car just stopped and almost got hit from several vehicle behind me ! due to transmission failure.
We got into a head on collision with a suv receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (suv). There were two recalls for our honda civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our honda civic was serviced andthe "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to anyone else.
Vehicle manufacturer's fuel hose clamp recall ( #01v182000 ) was inadequately repaired by technicians of a vehicle repair company conducting initial safety inspection of vehicle, prior to registration of vehicle, and there is no known provision requiring a review of any alleged repairs by that vehicle repair company in accords with the recall itself, whereas a strong odor of fuel continuously fills passenger compartment through air vents when travelling in vehicle, and vehicle repair company refuses to review work of technicians in the interest of safety of vehicle's passengers and other innocent persons in accords with basis for manufacturer's issuance of recall. Vehicle is only workable means of transportation, and continuous odor of fuel affects passengers personally and substantially, based on there existing no known provision requiring review of work of technicians. Employees of vehicle manufacturer was contacted by phone, and they revealed that there are no known policies or provisions requiring review of technician attempts to repair fuel hose clamp recall upon allegations of strong odor of fuel clouding passenger compartment when vehicle in operation; employees of vehicle manufacturer appear to cover up allegations of inadequate repair of fuel hose clamp recall by reviewing technicians, thus providing for potentially dangerous vehicle (reeking of odor of fuel) to operate on public roadways.
I was traveling in neighborhood streets (30 mph speed limit), and without warning, the car's automatic transmission slipped out of gear and would not engage the engine again.pressing on the gas pedal would only result in revving the engine, much like in neutral setting.the major key problem here is the transmission failed without any prior signs of distress, failure, warning and etc.i was lucky in that i was traveling on neighborhood streets and could easily pull over to the curb; this would have been a major issue for me and others traveling on the highway at 80 mph in the middle of the highway...this issue has been well documented on sites such as this: http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml.
The right wheel began shaking making it difficult to drive. I took it to a mechanic who said the motor mounts had weakened and the motor was sitting on the axles. Has there been a recall on the motor mounts at any time?
I own a 2001 honda civic lx sedan. The car has about 81000 miles on it. On may 2nd 2009, the car just stopped in the middle of the road and the check engine light came on. I towed it to the nearest auto shop. The diagnostic test revealed the codes to be p0740 and p0730, which i am told, indicate a broken torque converter and a faulty transmission. I then took the car to honda in mission valley, san diego. The service technician recommended replacing the transmission unit. When i enquired the reasons for this, the technician's only response wasbadluck'. He quoted the price for the replacement as $2600.on may 4th, i opened a case with american honda, mainly because the car has only 81k miles on it, is not very old and i have records for all the recommended services for the car. Above all, a car just stopping in the middle of the road without any sort of warning is a major safety hazard. Given the circumstances, i am grateful that no one was injured due to the mechanical malfunction.the next day, a case manager from honda, mr. Sergio suarez, contacted me. We spoke for close to an hour, without being able to reach any mutually favorable resolution. While i appreciate mr. Suarez's polite demeanor, he was ultimately indifferent about analyzing my case. Mr. Suarez did not even request to see the service records for the vehicle. It seemed to me like he had already made hisconclusions before talking to me and never intended to address my concerns.mr. Suarez, in fact, at the end of the call notified me that i am not a customer of honda and that honda has no obligations towards my vehicle or me.

While driving on the interstate, the car was no longer accelerating. While stepping on the gas the engine was revving but the speed would not increase. As i was only a short way from an exit, i was able to get off of the interstate, down the exit ramp, and to the stop light prior to the local roads as the car would still drive but only less than 40 mph. Upon getting to the stop light, the car no longer responded to the gas pedal going forward, i was able to back up to a space in between turn lanes. I placed my hazard lights on and called triple a for a tow truck. My car was towed to a local auto body where i was informed the car's transmission had gone, to their surprise as the car is in "great condition".

Driving my car with only 78,000 miles the engine light went on and within 15 minutes the car lost power to move foreword/backward etc.........took to the gas station glendale mobile broadway, everett,ma, the car has always been taken care of,,, i know it is old but only 78,000 . He put in a used transmission for 1900.00., there was no warning only minutes from the time check engine went on until complete failure on highway.
I purchased this car used 3 months ago, had a certified mechanic inspect it and do all that was necessary to make it road worthy and safe. New timing belt, head gasket, brakes, engine mounts, bushings, tires, ac compressor, belts, etc. Etc. So after spending over $2500.00 in repairs i thought i had a perfectly running safe vehicle. And it did run beautifully until 2 days ago when driving home from work at around 45 mph without any sign or indication of trouble i heard a loud clunk from under the car and began to lose power. Luckily, with all the traffic around i was able to pull over to the shoulder of the road and found transmission fluid poring out from below. I had aaa tow the car to a reliable shop and was told i need a new transmission. Rough estimate for the repair $2000. - $2600.needless to say i was shocked and angry. And now i find out that i'm not alone. There are hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of complaints about the transmission failure of the 2001 honda civic. Honda has known about this design flaw for years and must be held accountable for leaving it's customers in danger with a faulty transmission..

I was diving down the hwy when my car would no longer accelerate.

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 to do with the radiator not cooling the fluids, yet my car never read as hot. $3000 later i have a new transmission, which is not made my honda.honda failed to provide me with any information on this and seem "shocked" when i called them.

On october-9-2001 my fianc [xxx] and i purchased a 2001 honda civic ex [xxx] from roberts auto mall in downingtown, pa.we purchased a honda because we desired a car that was dependable and one that would be used for my fiancs commute and for driving long distances. In august of 2002, the car overheated on a journey from oneonta, ny, to phoenixville, pa.the car was brought to the honda of ithaca dealership.at this point, the car was still under warranty, being under a year after time of purchase with 18,717 miles.honda of ithaca, new york determined the problem to be the thermostat.despite the obvious inconvenience that this breakdown caused, we were happy the problem was resolved while the car was under warranty. In december 2003 on a trip from phoenixville, pa to holmdel, nj the car again overheated.a local mechanic determined the problem to be the thermostat.no longer under warranty, the thermostat was replaced at a cost to us of $106.43.on february-4-2004 the problem manifested itself once again.the car was brought to roberts auto mall.the mechanic guessed that the problem was air in the system.we were charged $63.49 for diagnostics. On march 10th, the car again overheated.we are now using one vehicle while our honda civic sits outside unused.i am unsure how to proceed since every mechanic has so far been unable to repair the problem with the cooling system. Our complaint can be summarized as such:this problem is intrinsic to the car.it appeared while the car was under warranty and has never been properly corrected.it is not the result of abuse or damage to the car but is a manufacturer defect.we have incurred monetary loss due torepeated towing and repairs made after the expiration of the warranty.other than these expenses, we have experienced the trauma of being stranded on highways at night, and being at a loss of our vehicle when one is needed to commute to work.updated 07/27/2012information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

When i bought the car it had 9,000 miles on it. The dealer bought it from an auction. I was hearing some tapping noise coming from hood. When i took my car for oil changed i askedthe dealer about the tapping noise. They said it wasn't important and not dangerous. I took my car back to the dealer a week later and they said that they need to take the oil pan out to determine the problem. Later on they called me and said that "i drove the car in a puddle or i had a flood -which never happened-because they diagnosed" water damaged which caused cylinder # 3 connecting rod is bent and it is very dangerous to drive it. The engine needs to be replaced" i have a factory and extended warranty but honda denies to cover it. My insurance company inspected the car and didn't see any "water damage". The insurance company also denied the cover the expense.i am very unhappy about the situation. Please feel free to advise me what to do. Thank you.*la

While driving through an intersection my wife's 2001 honda civic's engine died.after several attempts she was able to get it started again, drove it through the intersection and it died again and would not restart. She called aaa to have it towed to the only honda dealer on our island. We asked the dealership to check and report the cause of the problem. The next day the dealer reported it had a code of "p1362" and need a new cylinder head at a cost of $5300.00 for parts and labor. Prior to this incident the car always ran fine and was regularly serviced by a dealer. My question is: "how can a car with 58k miles, running fine suddenly need a new cylinder head? i had the dealer reinstall the cam cover (they charged us $100.00) and drove it out (yes it was running). I'm worried that this will happen again and cause property damage and/or even loss of lives. If it needs a new cylinder head how can it now be running? i wouldn't imagine a cylinder head problem to be an intermittent issue. When living on a small island (kauai) you're at the mercy of the only dealer in town.
My 2001 honda civic (automatic transmission) will not move when i put it into gear.i tried all the gears: drive, reverse etc.nothing happens when i step on the gas.

The 2001 honda civic lx i own failed on i95. My son was driving the car. There was no warning of safety lights etc. He pushed the car off the highway. The next day honda care came and jump started the car, it did start but within a few seconds it sounded like it exploded. The engine was turned off and the car was towed to the dealer where it was purchased, coral springs honda, in coral springs florida. I was told that since i had purchased an extended warranty the cost of the repair would be covered but they needed my approval to take apart the engine, again the stated there would be no cost to me. Several days later i called to see what was going on with the repair. I was then told that they were waiting for the warranty inspector to come give approval before they could proceed with the work. I called again at the end of the following week and was told that no one had come but that they did not think it would be covered. I asked why and they stated that the engine had sludge which was caused by theoil not being changed enough. I stated that it was changed. Needless to say the warranty company will not cover the repair. The car has 61,000 miles on it and the oil has been changed often enough. I believe the sludge claim is bogus, i think it is a cheaply made engine that begins to fall apart the minute it starts. What can i do?
My 18 yr daughter was driving on a 4 lane interstate on a friday in rush hour traffic. The average speed on this road at this time of day is 70-75mph . Suddenly and without warning her transmission failed. The car essentially went into neutral. Luckily she was able to maneuver the car to the shoulder.she could have easily been hit and more than likely this would have been a multicar accident.i contacted honda and they said they only were aware of problems with the odyssey and accord manufactured approx. 1999-2002.i did some research and found there were numerous complaints with the civic (our car is a 2001 civic).how many complaints and near miss accidents will it take for honda to be brought to task for this defect?
I purchased a 2001 honda civic coupe ex, in november 2000.it has been nothing but problems ever since.ive been to two different honda service centers almost 20 times now.the car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes.the car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted.then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of honda, after they assured me that my car was fine.this has been an ongoing problem with honda.they fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing.the car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, honda finds nothing.the windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, honda finds nothing.all four tires are leaking, honda at first find nothing wrong, now say i have to replace tires.the driver's seat is loose and rocking, honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, honda finds nothing wrong.seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety.now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny.i think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost.im very concerned for my safety at this point.i even reached out to honda consumer affairs in california, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while i had the rental, to report the rental stolen because i asked if i could hold the rental until honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by honda that day as well)i am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten.there are numerous other problems i didn't list here, too many to list.i would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you. *nlm

I have this reccurring problem of my car stalling when in drive gear when the car is at a slow speed. I have taken my car to the dealer 3 times now, the first time i thought that this was related to the improper fuel gauge reading i was having, which the dealer fixed by replacing the fuel gauge and the odometer.my car has stalled around 6 to 7 times now when it is slow or at a stop. I have to then put the car to park and start the engine again. The dealer has not been able to fix this problem, he does not have any clue, and everytime they try something and say its fixed, whereas the problem still persist. Once the car stalled on the freeway and the car behind almost ran in to me almost causing a fatal accident. Ever since i am really concerned with my and my family's safety. The reason i paid so much money to purchase a honda vehicle was that honda is considered one of the safest cars, but my experience states otherwise. I am really annoyed & frustrated by the car. I have paid too much and have had no satisfaction until now. On reading the complaints with honda 2001 civics i found that this problem was a common one with the new 2001 civic ex models.

Honda civic exhaust manifold for 2001 model is defective. When my check engine light came on i took in the car for service check and the mechanic reveled to me that there was a one inch crack in the exhaust manifold. After saving up $800 for a replacement i ordered a new one. That was in 2008. Now coming into the new year find myself in the same predicament with a less than two year old part. This defect is widespread and i have yet to purchased a new one for fear it will suffer the same cracked fate. This part and labor are too expensive to require a constant replacement. I have has the part welded twice but that does not stay for longer than 3 months. Not having a properly working part has lead to the property damage car the crack has caused a horrible puffing sound and undue buildup up in the exhaust system.
Tl * the contact owns a 2001 honda civic. When drivinghe smelled a strong odor of fuel inside of the vehicle.

Problems in engine's emission's control system.*mrwhile driving the vehicle's check engine light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the engine's emission control systems was defective.the vehicle's lock up solenoid was replaced.*tm
The vehicle stalls when slowing- especially on off ramps or went entering traffic after traveling at highway speeds. The souce of the problem (as reported by many consumers about the same vehicle) is a software defect in the emissions control module that cause fuel to be withheld from the engine. Honda knew of this problem when they sold this dangerous car to me and did it anyway. They claim that they are navigating the epa to get approval, but my dealing have been contentious at best in getting information. There should be a recall issued because this is a systemic problem. The millions of dollars in fines have obviously not taught them any more respect for consumers.
Took car in for valve adjustment (unusual to be needed until very high mileage), service tech found that exhaust manifold had a crack.honda does not patch and the entire part to be replaced is over $800.00.parts person proceeded to tell me that this is very common in my model of car due to the design causing manifold to overheat and crack.if the problem is very common then it is a flaw in the vehicle yet there is no bulletin or recall.not all models have this particular type of manifold and they stopped putting them in hondas all together beginning 2005.

Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work.5. Replaced front struts in 20066. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up andstays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired.overall i think 2001 civic is a piece of junk.

As i was driving home in my vehicle at night. The low beam headlights went out suddenly, my high beam lights work so i was able to make it home. This problem was corrected before on a recall campaign.

Being a safety issue on my vehicle and possibly other drivers.

In july 2017, the low beam headlights failed (were inoperable), but the high beam and all other external lights were operational. These are the symptoms of a honda safety recall service bulletin 04-015. This car had the safety recall repairs in september 2009, but the same symptoms reappeared in july 2017. Dealer made the repairs (it took two tries to get it right as shown on the invoices attached) and charged me for the repairs because they said the company will pay for the first recall repair but not subsequent ones.

Recently, both our headlights suddenly quit working. We checked the bulbs and fuses and all were ok. We checked online for possible causes for this and quickly discovered there is a honda safety recall on the headlight switch that alleviated just exactly the problem we were having. We called the honda dealership locally and they looked up our vin number and said we had already had that safety issue serviced. We had forgotten. We asked them what could be done because obviously whatever was supposed to have been fixed in the recall servicing wasn't. They said they would not help us. Any further servicing would be at our expense. Since we had to have headlights immediately and did not trust the honda dealership, we took the car to our private honda certified mechanic (they only service honda's.. Exclusively). He fixed the part and explained to us that the original safety recall problem had never been touched during our supposed recall servicing with honda. He said in the recall servicing, a headlight switch wire that was too small of a gauge was supposed to be replaced by a much heavier gauge wire. Our car still had the original small gauge factory wire installed which not only was melted through but had also caused the light switch to melt. He replaced all parts for a charge of $117.95 which was much cheaper than what the honda dealership would have charged us. He gave us our melted parts as evidence to present to the honda corporation. He informed us that this is exactly what happens with cars who have never had the safety recall servicing at all. We have reported all this back to the honda corporation but although they have given us a case number, they have failed to help us at all. We would like to know if there is anything whatsoever that can be done.our case number with the honda corporation is n032009-04-1500182.
We got into a head on collision with a suv receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (suv). There were two recalls for our honda civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our honda civic was serviced andthe "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to anyone else.
This vehicle was recalled by honda because of a faulty headlight switch which causes total loss of the low beam headlights.the recall was performed, but the lights have gone out again because of the same problem, and honda refuses to make the repair at their cost.this is a big safety problem, and honda should fix it, since they obviously did not fix it correctly the first time.
Running lights do not shut off.must disconnect battery to turn them off.

Problems with vehicle's radio and srs light.*mr(nar)
Vehicles of this type were subjected to a recall back in 2012 due to a safety issue where the low beam headlights would unexpectedly fail while the vehicle was being driven at night. The recall work has been performed previously by honda on this specific vehicle. However, a similar problem has recently started occurring on this vehicle even though the recall work has already been done to it.i am an air force veteran with an extensive background in aviation electronics. I also have professional experience doing electrical and electronic engineering. I also have a lot of experience repairing automotive electrical systems.i have analyzed the current problem in my wife's civic, which involves unexpected failures in the nighttime lighting system where all thelights suddenly shut off. I have also studied the information from the previous recall. I have concluded that the previous recall done by honda has not fully addressed the previously reported lighting problems that led to the previous recall. It explains why my wife's vehicle is still having similar problems now even though the problem was supposed to have been fixed under the previous recall.i have written a statement giving all the details you should need as a lead in to an investigation. It is attached to this report. If i can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. *dt

My honda civic was brought in to planet honda located in union nj for a recall on airbags and headlights to be corrected in may 2010. I was giving back my vehicle and assured all items were corrected. A year later, on april 23, 2011 at 1am i was driving and my low beams failed. Luckily i was able in a well lit area and was able to access my highbeams before any incidents occurred. After speaking to my mechanic he reported it was due tot the switch that was involved in the recall. I then went back to planet honda and after much arguing i had to agree to pay $105 diagnostic fee to have them review their work. I was then informed 6 hours later that indeed this was related to the recall and it was their mistake. Honda needs to review all their work they have done on all civics because it seems they were unsure how to correct the problem in the beginning.
We were driving from reno nv to antioch ca and were in the sierra mountains at about 2:30 am and all of the sudden we lost our low beam head lights in which we couldn't see the road and we went off the roadwe avoided an accident because i knew how to steer the vehicle to avoid hitting anything we got out and attempted to see why we didn't have the low beams and could not see why we clicked the high beams and they worked and we proceeded to drive with the high beam headlights on
Left front headlight first failed on 01/30/2009. Electrical wiring to front low beam headlight overheated causing melting of headlight connector to electrical harnesst. . a succession ofanother 4 headlight connectors have melted between o8/08/2009 to december 14, 2010. First 4 headlight connector replacements completed by honda dealer.prior to jan 30th 2009 headlight connector failure,a different honda dealer completed nhtsa 304v86000 recall work for headlight electrical overheating recall in 2006 during regular maintenance appointment. Failure #5 happened on dec14, 2010 just 6 days after melted connector #4 was replaced on december 8th 2010. Dealer found cruise control unit inoperable due to electrical melt down. Original air conditioner compressor replaced in 2009 due to melt down. Safety and possible fire hazarddue to chronic overheating of original electricalharness & multi-plex unit.

The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While parked, the contact noticed that the low beam headlights failed and only the high beam headlights were functioning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the mechanic advised that the headlight switch would have to be replaced.

I too have noticed the gradual 'frosting' of the plastic housing of my front headlights.it became noticeable about 4 or 5 years after i bought my '01 civic.it definitely diminishes effectiveness of the beams.i was about to replace them - they are hugely expensive.i am glad they might be recalled.
My 2001 honda civic was part of a recall due to a problem with the srs. I went to the dealership and i was told that my car was also under recall due to a problem with the switch for the lights. The problem was with the low-beams. I made an appointment for both to be fixed. When i brought the car in, i was told that it was not part of the recall for the lightswitch, although the recall contained the make and model year of my car. I am disappointed that this wasn't fixed as part of the recall because i have been experiencing problems with the switch, going so far as to purchase two sets of headlights in the two years i have owned the car, and i don't understand why if it occurred in other cars made the same year as mine, why wouldn't honda fix it knowing it has been a problem.my vin apparently was a few numbers off. I would think that if i'm having the same problem, honda would fix my switch even though it isn't within the recalled vin range. My second complaint is that after having replaced the recalled part, the srs indicator light is still on. This dealership allowed me to drive away in my unsafe car, which will not pass inspection due to the safety issue. The final issue is that i was promised the car at 1 o'clock, and i didn't get a call that it was finished until almost 2 o'clock, and at that time i had to scramble to find someone at the very last minute to pick up my child from school. I will own this car in another six months, and i was sincerely hoping to trade it in for a newer model honda. I am not sure i'll do that now.
The failure i am concerned with has to do with the head light module. The plastic/glass that covers and protects the light will in time appear frosted. This frosting greatly reduces nighttime visibility. When i worked in the auto repair industry i witnessed it often. I owned a chevrolet prism that had this defect and now own a 2001 honda civic that has the problem. The replacement cost of the modules is enormous. These headlights should last as long as the car.
Low beam headlight fail frequently.there is a recall on that yearcar but not on my vin so the dealer is refusing to repair.
While driving home from work at approx. 12am the low beams stopped working.high beams still work, but low beams will not come on.
The air bag light illuminated on the dash board, the dealer replaced the part, however the light illuminated again.the occupancy position detector system was replaced, the rear defroster and cruise control was inoperative, there was a loud clunk noise while driving and on turns, the radio was inoperative, the back window was replaced along with the antenna, the fog light switch was loose, the brake light had gone out, there was a rattle in the rear seat, the fuel cap was loose, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and the trunk lid did not close.scc

On february 24, 2004 honda issued a recall - "on certain passenger vehicles, the low-beam terminal on the head light wire harness can overheat and could cause the low beams to fail without warning." - i got the recall notice and took my car for a fix on may 11, 2004 at conicelli honda (authorized dealer and service center). A little over two years later on june 13th 2006, i have the same problem occurring in my car. I am driving - returning back from the mall - and the lights just go out. I have to drive on high beam. In the morning as i get in the car - i smell burnt plastic. I took my car to pep boys who couldn't figure out the problem. They replaced both bulbs bit the light still wouldn't work. I called honda of north america and they said that they couldn't do anything as recalls are serviced only once. They suggested i should talk to conicelli. I called conicelli and they said that this will have to be investigated and paid-for separately and couldn't schedule me before july 3rd (today in june 14th). I am upset about the fact that neither honda nor its dealer is willing to consider that the problem for which the vehicle was recalled still exists (either it wasn't properly fixed or the fix wasn't good enough). On top of that - the earliest they can look at my vehicle is after 18 days.
The headlight on the vehicle are not designed for use in a cold weather environment.the plastic shield frosts over cutting visibility by approximately 50 percent.*jg *nlm
I have a 2001 honda civic with 85,000 miles. I had the headlight switch fixed in may 2007as part of the honda recall.at this time the dealer did a "once over" on the car and said my struts were leaking, but nothing else.on november 4th i went to drive my car in the morning and the car would not go. The car started, but it would not go into drive or reverse, etc.luckily i was in my driveway and not driving on a highway or busy street.it turns out that i needed an entirely new transmission, i wound up fixing it for $2,500 as the car is paid off. I called honda's customer service and they said they will only entertain the problem if i had the car towed to a honda dealership for a diagnosis - and what pay $5,000+ for the dealer to fix the transmission - no thanks.

The head lights are not powerful enough to illuminate the road beyond the immidiate few feet. This creates a situation where there is insufficient light in front of the vehicle and consequently it is very risky to drive the vehicle in the dark. The risk of an accident increases several times on the highways. Recently a deer crossing the street couldnt be spotted until it was very close and put me in a dangerous situation.the problem was explained to the dealer and they tried to fix the problem but the situation did not improve in any way. When the dealer was notified of this, he explained to us that it was a manufacturers problem and nothing could be done about it. I have also corrosponded with american honda motors of ilinois.

The dealer tested it and said it was getting 26.3 driving 10-30 mph. I am unable to get even that which is a substancial amount different than the amount advertised.

I'm the original owner of an civic 2001 lx with 159,000 miles. It started smelling obnoxious gas smell inside the car. The dealer findings were, the fuel filter cracked. Estimated repair of $541.00, they advised me to not drive the car until it is fixed also, the car was well maintained by them since day one. The service disorder suggested to me to contact honda headquarters and explain the problem to them since it is a safety issue. I did contact honda they were not willing to do anything about it.thanks so much,
My car smells strongly of gas. Hunting for the cause i noticed gas coming from a hole under the car about right where the fuel pump is located in the back seat. After removing the back seat i noticed the fuel pump is pretty much sitting in a puddle of gasoline. You can see a slow movement of gasoline coming off the top of the fuel pump. This is a safety concern especially being that we are smokers.

8/19/14-gas smell bad mileage-repair shop replaced gas cap. Still smelled gas. Brought to honda dealer for services and stated smell of gas, they couldn't find anything and said we may have overfilled tank,must have spilled gas down side, or the poor gas mileage could be the way we drive the car. 5/11/2015-127,148 miles- check engine light-had charcoal canister & vent solenoid replaced. 5/13/2015-check engine light back on. Apparently know problem with leaking gas/fumes honda has not recalled models affected with exception of honda odyssey. Much of my researcheffecting 98-2002 models. Tsb's ( technical service bulletin's ) 01-011 ( evap control canister vent shut valve 98-99 models ) and 03-001 ( evap bypass solenoid valve 98-02since code and diagnosing problem is difficult and basically honda is aware of this issue they should be recalling these vehicles as leaking gas/fumes is a safety issue.
While driving the car you could smell strong gasoline on the outside behind the area of the rear driver side tire after reaching a normal engine running temp.
Vehicle manufacturer's fuel hose clamp recall ( #01v182000 ) was inadequately repaired by technicians of a vehicle repair company conducting initial safety inspection of vehicle, prior to registration of vehicle, and there is no known provision requiring a review of any alleged repairs by that vehicle repair company in accords with the recall itself, whereas a strong odor of fuel continuously fills passenger compartment through air vents when travelling in vehicle, and vehicle repair company refuses to review work of technicians in the interest of safety of vehicle's passengers and other innocent persons in accords with basis for manufacturer's issuance of recall. Vehicle is only workable means of transportation, and continuous odor of fuel affects passengers personally and substantially, based on there existing no known provision requiring review of work of technicians. Employees of vehicle manufacturer was contacted by phone, and they revealed that there are no known policies or provisions requiring review of technician attempts to repair fuel hose clamp recall upon allegations of strong odor of fuel clouding passenger compartment when vehicle in operation; employees of vehicle manufacturer appear to cover up allegations of inadequate repair of fuel hose clamp recall by reviewing technicians, thus providing for potentially dangerous vehicle (reeking of odor of fuel) to operate on public roadways.
Honda civic gx cng fuel tank valve failure, causing the car to leave you stranded for hours. Car would not start or run, only after trying it 10+ times.
Total transmission failure! while i was stopped at a traffic light it felt like the car would not get in gear. I would press on the gas and the engine would rev up but i was not moving. I was able to let it coast to a side street to get out of traffic. This could have been really ugly if i was on the highway or on a busier street. I had to get it towed to the nearest service station. Apparently the oil pump and torque converter failed which basically caused the rest of the transmission to burn up. I had to do a complete new transmission rebuild. I know my honda has a few miles but 104k seems too early for a transmission failure.

When i press on my brakes it makes a loud popping noise.i took it to the honda dealership and they said theres nothing they can do about it because theres some kind of defect that causes the brake pads to shift.the technicians told me that many people have complained but since they do notknow how to fix it they can not do anything for me. So basically i'm stuck with my car making the popping noise because honda does not know how to fix the problem.i am very unsatisfied with honda and the performance of my car.my car is a 2001 honda civic. I have had it for two years and i have had two recalls on it and just recently my car has been making a popping noise when i turn my steering wheel or press on the brakes.i have taken my car to the dealership three times with in the past week and every time i pick up my car they tell me the noise is gone.i drive it off the lot only to find out the noise is still there. My car is currently at the dealership and they are still trying to figure out why my car is making the popping noise when i turn the steering wheel and the last time i dropped it off they told me that there was nothing that they could do about the brakes.i find it very disturbing to know that my cars brake pads are shifting and honda will not fix the problem simply because they do not know how. I do not want to be traveling down the freeway and my brakes fail because honda did not feel that it was important to address this problem earlier.i would be very grateful if you couldlook int this issue and contact me back with some informaion.thankyou.

It has not happened yet but my car is slipping gears between 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4.i will be taking it to the honda dealer before something does happen.
Driving home from work, the transmission started slipping and coming out of gear.car revved but would not engage.had to have car towed home, and then to mechanic, who stated the transmission needs replacing.
I received a 2001 honda civic lx from my dad as a gift around the end of april, 2018.which he had spent about 2000 in the motor before giving it to me. The issues occurred with the car over heating right when we landed into las vegas which we were coming from san dimas california, it took about 3-4 hours to get back home. I had issues with my car over heating a lot which had to do with the sensors at first which had gotten replaced. Than after the fan to cool down the radiator wasn't working properly to where only one fan would kick in. Now out of no where my car had issues accelerating which should be investigated before somebody really gets hurt. From all the reviews thank god in the long run everybody is okay but in order for this to be recalled it's like people need to be injured or deaths need to really occur before when things like this should be fixed so serious problems don't occur in leads to death. I almost got side swiped when i had no choice but to try to move to saftey really slow which i didn't have control of the car moving at that paste when it wouldn't move any faster than what it wwas.since i found out my car having issues on accelerating and being able to move around i find out there is the air bag recall which i receive a paper in mail to fix but how when i can't even get there. It's the end of july 2018 in which my car is officially unable to be moved. So many problems within 3 months and so much money wasted it's ridiculous.
I was driving home from picking my daughter up from school when at 65 mph the car started to jerk. The transmission was slipping in an out of gear.if i pulled over an sat for 15 min it would start to pull like normal again for a couple miles then do it again. I had to do that several times turning a 15 min trip into a 2 hour trip.
Transmission failed without warning in traffic, luckily had momentum to maneuver vehicle into center turn lane, out of way of traffic.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the transmission slipped out of fifth gear without warning. The vehicle was able to continue in operation at a reduced speed. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000. The vin was unavailable.
I bought this vehicle and then found out there are $3000 minimum issues with the vehicle. Including replacing the transmission because of the defective torque converter, the airbags aren't working properly, the rear window won't roll down. Also, the evaporation sensor and canister need to be replaced and i cannot find the right part to replace it. The srs light is on because of the seatbelt issue, the check engine light is on because of the transmission problem from the torque converter and the cruise control doesn't work even though the lights say that it is engaging.
Car drive light flashes and rear gear stopped working transmission faulty.
On may 6, 2011 car would rev up a little after taking off from a red light as if it was having difficulty shifting to 2nd to 3rd gear.by the 3rd red light the car would hardly move and i was trying to get off to the side of the road with the car just rolling.i managed toroll it off the road but cars in back of me were beeping their horns and cars had to slow down so that i could pull into a parking lot.very scary. 3 weeks prior to this i had my car serviced at crown honda dealership.they, as a scheduled maintenance had timing belt, water pump, belts, oil change and 4 tires replaced for $1,300.honda dealership says that the problem is transmission and had nothing to do with the prior work, which is under warranty.towed car to another service station and they said the transmission burned out and also needs a torque converter.i heard this was a problem with 2001 honda civics.this was a dangerous situation but was it caused by the prior work or a defective torque converter or transmission?
I had just gotten back from port arthur, texas. I had stopped for a traffic light in the left turn lane,and there was traffic stopped behind me, thank goodness. When the light turned green i tried to pull off, but the vehicle did not moved. A man helped me to push the vehicle out of traffic onto a parking lot . After putting the vehicle in different gears, the check engine light finally came on. I called a wrecker to pick it up and deliver it home. Since then i bought a code reader and the code is a p0740. I have read where honda has problems with their transmissions. I called them and they said that my transmission was not on recall.
Transmission went out at purchase of vehicle.
I was driving and my car stopped accelerating.i turned it off and tried again. I could not move forward or backwards. I had it towed over 30 miles.after a shop looked at it they said it needs a new transmission, or a used just not the one i have in there now because it obviously doesn't work.honda civics in 2001 have a 20 percent transmission failure rate. That is much too high for any vehicle.
The fuel gauge shows incorrect fuel limits and the rpm gauge does not move in some instances when vehicle accelerates( engine revs).
Total transmission failure! while i was stopped at a traffic light it felt like the car would not get in gear. I would press on the gas and the engine would rev up but i was not moving. I was able to let it coast to a side street to get out of traffic. This could have been really ugly if i was on the highway or on a busier street. I had to get it towed to the nearest service station. Apparently the oil pump and torque converter failed which basically caused the rest of the transmission to burn up. I had to do a complete new transmission rebuild. I know my honda has a few miles but 104k seems too early for a transmission failure.
Driving on high way and car just stopped and almost got hit from several vehicle behind me ! due to transmission failure.
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.
Driving at highway speed when the car seemed to slip into neutral causing a sudden deceleration. This almost caused me to be involved in 3 separate accidents this week as the problem comes and goes and thus far have not been able to diagnose it.

Car stopped suddenly, would not engage into gear. No warning of problems, car is regularly serviced, one owner. Transmission failed and will have to be replaced.
My transmission failed in highway traffic two hours from my home. All of a sudden the car would not accelerate. If traffic had been moving faster this could have been an extremely dangerous situation. There were no warning signs whatsoever. Being so far from home i had no choice but to tow it to the nearest transmission shop where they told me my transmission had failed due to a faulty torque converter. I looked this up and found hundreds and hundreds of complaints from honda owners that had the same issue. Why has this part not been recalled?! honda owes me $2,200.00 and will be lucky if i ever buy from them again.

As i was exiting the freeway i slowed down to stop at the traffic light.when i went to accelerate, my car would hardly move.i tried pressing harder on the pedal and all it did was rev the engine and let off a rubber smell.after letting it rest a few hours it would finally move again, but only at a slow speed.if i press on the gas too hard it will jerk the car.

After having mothers day breakfast with my fiance our child and me. I was driving all of us home when all the sudden with no warning the car completely lost power as we were on a major road and 4 cars had to avoid hitting my vehicle thank god i had quick thinking and put my hazards on since i did have my three year old in the backseat. I almost made it off the busy highway before i had to get out of my car and my fiance had to get behind the wheel as i pushed my car off the road thankfully a gentleman got out of his truck and helped us as we nearly almost got hit by another driver. This is an issue that could have cost me or my family to be extremely injured and the fact that they have so many complaints about this issue and honda neglects to do anything about it baffles me. If the executive's at honda had there family in a car and got in an accident because of a defective part that they seem to believe is fit to put into their vehicles i don't think they would have the same outlook on not issuing a recall for this part. Honda needs to wise up before this faulty transmission problem causes someone to get into a serious accident or causes them to lose their life. Please honda issue a recall. It's money it's not worth people getting hurt driving your vehicles.
Transmission failure - confirmed by honda service. Needed to be replaced for under $3,000.00. My car is only 77k miles.
Driving at 50 mph on road, heard a clunking noise and engine light came on.drove two miles, then came to a stop light, i stopped, but when i tried to accelerate, the gears were gone and the car would not move forward.had car towed to a local mechanic who determined that the car had torque converter clutch failure (code p0740) and incorrect gear ratio (code p0730) and needs a new transmission (approx. 1800 to be rebuilt). I did not notify the manufacturer.
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 to do with the radiator not cooling the fluids, yet my car never read as hot. $3000 later i have a new transmission, which is not made my honda.honda failed to provide me with any information on this and seem "shocked" when i called them.
I purchased this car used 3 months ago, had a certified mechanic inspect it and do all that was necessary to make it road worthy and safe. New timing belt, head gasket, brakes, engine mounts, bushings, tires, ac compressor, belts, etc. Etc. So after spending over $2500.00 in repairs i thought i had a perfectly running safe vehicle. And it did run beautifully until 2 days ago when driving home from work at around 45 mph without any sign or indication of trouble i heard a loud clunk from under the car and began to lose power. Luckily, with all the traffic around i was able to pull over to the shoulder of the road and found transmission fluid poring out from below. I had aaa tow the car to a reliable shop and was told i need a new transmission. Rough estimate for the repair $2000. - $2600.needless to say i was shocked and angry. And now i find out that i'm not alone. There are hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of complaints about the transmission failure of the 2001 honda civic. Honda has known about this design flaw for years and must be held accountable for leaving it's customers in danger with a faulty transmission..
Upon entering expressway, going to change lanes - transmission totally failed.nothing but engine reving when pushing on accelerator. No warning lights, nothing.almost got killed due to truck having to stop as we coasted off highway. Upon having vehicle towed to dealer (honda lisle) and going on line i find that this is a very common occurrence for this vehicle and model year.why has there not been a recall notice on this. This is truly a danger to the drivers of this vehicle. There are thousands of similar experiences posted online.
My daughter purchased a 2001 honda civic. It has been well maintained . She was out driving and was going up a hill and the car stopped and would not move. She got scared and put it in reverse to glide down the hill and pull to the side. Needless to say it is the transmission. I have looked online for any recalls pertaining to the transmissions from honda . I came across this site and i couldn't believe how many transmission problems with this make and year. I plan to contact honda to see if they can replace it.
My daughter was making a turn and her honda civic starting moving in reverse. Without any warning the transmission went! thankfully no one was behind her or there would have been a collision.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated thatthe transmission made a loud winning noise. The gear shifted out of place then the vehicle stalled.

Transmission failure. It could not drive forward but can drive back.
Transmission failed while driving on highway at 60mph. Car would not shift into gear and check engine light signaled. There were no warnings whatsoever. This appears to be correlated to many others complaints with the 2001 honda civics.i was fortunate to not have been seriously hurt when my car came to a stop.i feel as though this is a defect that needs to be recalled.
Vehicle is a 2001 honda civic ex automatic transmission. Regular service, no major repairs prior. On day of incident check engine light came on suddenly and when trying to accelerate there would be an increase in rpm but gear would not engage. Brought to honda dealership by tow truck and codes were run by dealer on 4/15/2013. Code for "internal transmission failure" was found. Estimated repair cost is $4500. Contacted honda customer service on 4/15/2013 for information about repair cost reduction. Customer service reported that due to vehicle age and mileage a goodwill repair could not be performed, no extended warranty available as vin not included in recall or 2006 honda transmission settlement, nor cost lowered by dealer via intervention from corporate office. Customer service representative stated that she was aware of multiple complaints for this exact problem but since no official recall has been issued there was nothing they could do. *i request the nhtsa to perform an inspection of this problem as many normally driven 2001 honda civics are experiencing the exact same type of transmission failure, which may be due to a transmission defect in manufacture manifesting after 10-12 years and/or >90,000 miles. Honda vehicles are known for reliability and longevity, in some cases lasting well beyond 200,000 miles and 12 years of trouble-free driving. Many are now faced with junk yard or salvage due to the problem of transmission failure.
Driving my car with only 78,000 miles the engine light went on and within 15 minutes the car lost power to move foreword/backward etc.........took to the gas station glendale mobile broadway, everett,ma, the car has always been taken care of,,, i know it is old but only 78,000 . He put in a used transmission for 1900.00., there was no warning only minutes from the time check engine went on until complete failure on highway.
While driving on the interstate, the car was no longer accelerating. While stepping on the gas the engine was revving but the speed would not increase. As i was only a short way from an exit, i was able to get off of the interstate, down the exit ramp, and to the stop light prior to the local roads as the car would still drive but only less than 40 mph. Upon getting to the stop light, the car no longer responded to the gas pedal going forward, i was able to back up to a space in between turn lanes. I placed my hazard lights on and called triple a for a tow truck. My car was towed to a local auto body where i was informed the car's transmission had gone, to their surprise as the car is in "great condition".
I was driving home as normal, came to a red light and the car was stalling as if i had it in neutral and would not move in drive. It just quit with no warning and i was luck enough to be push out the turning lane and thank god , my grand daughter & i was not already on the 5 lane highway and then all of a sudden it quit like it did. It was confirmed today that it was the transmission & it cost more then what the car is worth. I had no indications or leaks. I was reading on line and it seems like lately this has been happening at least once or twice a month and honda don't think it's a problem, i guess until someone has to be seriously rearend or killed to be a concern and that's a shame & it's putting people and their loved ones in danger & harms way.

Automatic transmission failing at 74000 miles as diagnosed by honda and independent transmission repair technician. Check engine light comes on while vehicle in motion. Code: p0470. Was advised will need complete transmission replacement very soon however honda dealer reluctant to admit it.
While driving down the road at only 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly revved and then stopped moving.we were in the middle of a crowded road, and there was no prior warning (engine light, etc.).luckily, we were able to pull off the road without getting hit, but it was a very dangerous situation.after researching, i learned that there are a large number of complaints about the 2001 civic's transmission, and even with replacement, the problem persists.the faulty transmission is dangerous, and honda needs to do something about it.

126k miles on my civic, always maintained very well....slowed to make a left turn, then couldn't get in gear to speed up.had to drive in low to the mechanic.transmission failed due to a faulty fan in the radiator.had to replace transmission.an outside fan added to avoid repeat.other related repairs done.$4,000!from my research, i see transmission failure of a 2001 honda civic is very common!i didn't enter a component as "transmission" wasn't an option.
My spouse and i were on the freeway and approximately 15 minutes after we got on the freeway the car wouldn't accelerate. The speed limit is 60mph and i was trying to maintain that speed but when i tried to accelerate the car wouldn't accelerate. The speedometer gauge was dropping but the rpm gauge was going up. I shifted back and forth from d to d3 a few times and the car popped back into gear. I managed to get to the next freeway exit and got off the freeway. Parked it and then had it towed.
I was driving on a bitter cold day, and soon after i left it did not seem to be shifting correctly and the rpms were not responding appropriately.however, it soon "normalized", and i figured it was due to the cold, which had happened before.not but a few miles into my drive, while driving up a hill in a school zone, my car suddenly stopped accelerating/moving.the engine revved as if it was in neutral, and i could not engage into any gear - not even reverse - so i was stuck on the middle of this hill.i turned on my 4-way flashers and had to coast backwards down a hill, with oncoming traffic, and maneuvered my car into exit of elementary school, while buses were trying to leave.thank goodness there were no kids using the crosswalk.there was no warning, no indication lights, no way to prepare for this scary event.on the coldest day ever recorded in history, i had to wait over an hour for it to be towed to my mechanic.he said the transmission had completely failed on me and in his opinion, was not worth the money to pour into this problematic 2001 honda civic, apparently the most recalled car.i am the sole owner of this car, and purchased it after college with the hopes of having the reliable honda stay with me for the long haul.
My car stated having problems shifting it would rev up when shifting from 1 to 2 brought it in to honda dealer and was told that i hadtransmission problems and would need a new or rebuilt one. Went home and started looking online and found lots of people comp. About thetransmission problems on the 2001 civic. Looked at the honda website and called and was told that i could not get and help. Well ever since then i tell all everyone not to buy a honda civic because they do not stand behind their product. A warning to all do not buy this kind of car.
On my way to lax, about two hours from home, my car failed on highway 101.was able to get to the side of the road.tow truck was called.we were near thousand oaks on hwy 101 so car taken to pep boys which was open (it was a sunday).they could not fix transmission problems, so monday the car was taken to leon transmission.they had it for a week, repaired it and charged me $2920.i had to rent a car that sunday because i needed to get to lax to pick up two unaccompanied minors arriving from portland or.check engine light on for trouble codes p0740 tc and p0700 transmission fault.rebuilt transmission and converter installed.when i picked up the repaired vehicle on saturday jul 27, i drove it for a little over 30 miles and it failed again.towed the car back to leon's transmission.they said there is another error code, p1361, tdc sensor which they could not fix but another mechanic was open and replaced the tcd sensor.this repair cost $306.finally, after a week and $3226, i drove my car back home,150 miles from where i left the vehicle a week earlier.i needed a car so had to rent a car from enterprise for a week.
Transmission failed while vehicle was on highway.vehicle would not engage gears and therefore could not accelerate.had to pull off to side of highway and get vehicle towed.again, this was a transmission failure.
Was turning left and when i went to go the cars rpms went up but the car didn't move..it just didn't do it once but three times at three different stops...the transmission wouldn't allow the car to move.....where's the recall?almost got hit from behind on one of the incidents...

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 stoppingtransmission 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 was a problem with the honda civic
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 easily been stranded in 0 degree weather.had the car towed and it looks like i need a new transmission.the current mileage of my car is 140k.went online and discovered that there are hundreds if not thousands of folks who have had the same problem.honda it seems is aware of the problem but no recall has been issued.

Complaint: spent $4000 to completely rebuild my transmission at 96,800 miles last spring and am now experiencing the same early signs of transmission failure a year later.there was no engine/warning light to warn me that there was a problem until my car started having trouble switching gears, struggling to accelerate and was running rougher than normal. I?m luckier than a lot of the people who have complained since i was able to catch this issue before my transmission fell out of my car or stopped working as i was driving. I think if 600+ people complain about a very obvious engine failure, there needs to be an investigation. This is unacceptable. I am currently showing early signs of the same problem. My car is getting stuck while switching gears and having issues accelerating in between the gears. And is just generally running rougher than it should be.i should not have to rebuild my transmission in a honda at 96,800 miles let alone again at 124,000 after just over a year. My car was not worth that much last spring when i fixed it but choose to do it thinking i?d be set for the rest of the car?s life. Now i?m looking at having to sell it for scraps and get a new car because i can not shell out another $4,000 to fix a manufacturing problem.
In 2001, i purchased a brand new 2001 honda civic from a honda dealer.the car runs great and i have no complaint until recently.i bring my car to a honda dealer for all maintenance and service.two weeks ago, i was driving on the freeway at 65mph and out of nowhere, the transmission stopped working.luckily i was on the right lane and i was able to pull over and not cause an accident.i have been researching and there have been lots of websites with similar complaints, one is: http://m.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/index.shtml.other owners of 2001 honda civic are having the same issue where recently they have been having transmission dying on them.i called honda to check if there is a recall for the transmission.honda rep mentioned that the car is out of warranty and there is no recall for the transmission.i have no problem paying to fix the transmission.but my goal of submitting this to call 3 is hopefully you can investigate about honda and get them to be aware of the transmission problem.i don't think it is safe for anybody if there is a known transmission problem for the 2001 honda civic and honda is not doing anything about it.i seriously would not want to drive behind a 2001 civic when it can stop working anytime.my goal is for honda to accept that there is an issue and put a warning out for all drivers.

I was yet another unfortunate victim of honda's cheap transmission and i say cheap in that it doesn't work properly not that it is cheap to get it repaired. No that is over $2000 according to my local honda dealership. After taking such good care of my car diligently taking it in for oil changes and tune ups at honda's recommended mileage; i am severely disappointed. I had just pulled up to a busy stop light, when the light turned green i hit the gas and my car moved forward like usual, but suddenly right as i past the intersection the car's transmission started slipping and then just died. I shut the car off, started it back up and some how after a few minutes managed to get the transmission to hold just enough to pull it into a turn off. I had numerous people honking and yelling at me to get off the road. Honda if you're listening, i won't be buying another vehicle from you. Nhtsa if you're listening please i implore you to do an investigation this could very likely cause someone to get hurt or killed.
2001 honda civic, with 163,000 miles on it and regularly serviced, last transmission service at 150,000.driving down the road sudden loss of power, engine rev's but no motion, get it over to the side of the road and discover transmission is out of it. Contacted the local dealership and they quote a rebuilt transmission for $4,000.00.transmissions should last longer than 160,000 miles.then i see on here that there are hundreds of transmission complaints on the honda civic.i think it is time for honda to step up and take care of their problem.
I was traveling in neighborhood streets (30 mph speed limit), and without warning, the car's automatic transmission slipped out of gear and would not engage the engine again.pressing on the gas pedal would only result in revving the engine, much like in neutral setting.the major key problem here is the transmission failed without any prior signs of distress, failure, warning and etc.i was lucky in that i was traveling on neighborhood streets and could easily pull over to the curb; this would have been a major issue for me and others traveling on the highway at 80 mph in the middle of the highway...this issue has been well documented on sites such as this: http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml.
As i crossed into a busy intersection, my car's transmission began to slip as cars were coming at me. I was terrified. My transmission failed. After extensive research i found the 2001 honda civic had a faulty transmission. Over 600 complaints. I called honda and was told i had already exceeded the alloted miles on the power train warranty so it was not covered. I had to buy a used transmission for $1095.00 and hire a mechanic to replace my transmission. It is my opinion that honda was well aware of this bad transmission and they should have offered a replacement, no matter what the mileage on the owners vehicle.
Takata recall; the vehicle is not drivable due to transmission failure occording to honda dealer service department.
Total transmission failure under normal driving conditions. This failure took place while driving to work (18.5 miles). There was no warning or noise associated with the failure. Once parked the engine would run but would not engage into drive or reverse.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving 30 mph, the contact heard a noise and merged safely off the road. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who diagnosed the failure within the transmission. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic because of the dealer cost. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 60,118.
Bought a 2001 honda civic ex in the end of summer of 2013 for my daughter since she had started college. I bought the car because i have heard and been recommended to buy a honda. Less than a year later the transmission went-out. She was on the highway on her way to school whenthe transmission malfunction. The transmission began to hesitate and stutter on the highway. Had to pull over in heavy traffic she almost had and accident. We took it to a transmission shop where we were told that the transmission had to be rebuilt and it was going to cost $2,652. I had to use my income and part of my daughter's last few dollars to fix the transmission. Now that i have researched the car and found out that there are hundreds of complaints on this year make and model. I fear for my daughter's safety. This many complaints on a specific issue (transmission failure) should had been recalled and fixed, instead they are still posing a threat to not just our safety, but to also the public. This transmission is still hurting the people's wallets and causing accidents because of transmission failure. Some people have complaint that even after fixing the transmission the problem persist. I believe it might be a design problem. I fear that one day my daughter might not get so lucky and have and accident. This problem can be easily fixed by imposing a recall. I can't believe that this cars are still on the road posing and threat to the people's safety.
I was able to start the car and drove to some distance while experiencing some gear engaging problems.then suddenly the following symptoms: 1. Car stutters or jerks while accelerating.2. Check engine light is on.3. Transmission slips or won't engage.4. Transmission pops in and out of gear.5. Car will turn on and starts to move a bit, then can't get it to move.i had to call service to tow my car back to home because car dealership was closed for holidays.this happened on 2012/12/23 and the mileage on my 2001 honda civic was 80404 miles.
2001 honda civic - 84,000 milesstopped moving in the middle of busy highway - rt. 70 in brick nj. I coasted into a ditch on the side of the road and was towed to a local repair shop. I was told the transmission blew - i had no warning at all. After doing research on this issue i found hundreds of complaints online and also found that honda was taken to court for this issue in the past. The transmission should not have blown on a car with this low mileage. I called honda just now and was told there is no recall for it, and no good faith efforts will be made to assist me in paying to have it fixed due to the age of the car. But the mileage does not matter to them. I would like to know why they are able to get away with a serious issue such as a faulty transmission placed in hundreds of the same vehicles and not held responsible for this????
Came up to the street light once it turn green tried to accelerate and car was just moved than the rpm went high and than did not move...
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.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that the while driving 65 mph, the transmission failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recall. The failure mileage was 87,000.
The automatic transmission on my honda civic suddenly failed while driving. We were driving on a narrow, curvy, hilly highway in the snow, so the incident could have resulted in an accident, but luckily did not. The car was going at about 45 mph when it suddenly lost all acceleration and came to a stop. A passerby kindly helped us push the car out of traffic while cars were whizzing by, another dangerous situation. We were 60 miles from home, and had to be towed. The car is no longer drivable. The local repair shop wants $2,200 to replace the bad transmission.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that she started the engine and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.the driver was driving at approximately 45 mph when the vehicle stopped accelerating.the check engine light began to illuminate on the dashboard so the vehicle was pulled over and shut off.a few other service lights were also illuminating, but the contact was not in the vehicle at the time of failure so she was unaware of which service lights those were. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop where the transmission and axle were repaired.the failure had not recurred.the failure and current mileages were 146,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving 35 mph, the check engine light illuminated and the transmission failed. The vehicle was shut off, restarted, and placed in gear with no response. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000. The vin was not provided.
I own a 2001 honda civic ex it has about 150,000 miles on it but up until about a month ago when my transmission quit it had been running great. I was driving not expecting anything to go wrong i stopped at a light and when i went to go my car only went about 8ft into the intersection but revved a lot and finally wouldn't move it would just rev the engine. I got out and pushed it to the side of the road and waited about five minutes turned it back on and tried in all the gears and it would not move in any.
Car was driving normally, all of a sudden couldn't make it up a hill, speed wouldn't go past 20mph. Transmission problems.
Our 2001 honda civic lx transmission failed at 125,100 miles.
My car gets all of its required routine maintenance.as of yesterday without warning the car suddenly would not accelerate although it was still in drive.it is a 2001 honda civic with 115,000 miles.i now have to get a new transmission in excess of $2500.this is completely unacceptable since they are supposed to have an approximate life of about 200,000 miles without major incident.furthermore to have organizations like consumer reports support this car and reading over 200 complaints online about other honda civic owners same year same model car have this problem and the honda corporation doing nothing to rectify this situation is reprehensible.
I have a 2001 honda civic and without any warning, the transmission blew in the middle of a busy intersection and my car stalled. The car has been well taken care of and has approx. 147k miles on it. I've been told that the car requires a new transmission out of my pocket. It is in my opinion that my transmission should have last a lot longer than 9 years and 147k miles. I own three other vehicles, two of which are about 5 years older and both with over 300k miles on them each and have never had a problem. Honda does not consider this a safety issue and won't recall it. It's clearly a safety issue is ones car stalls in the middle of rush hour traffic. I was lucky to not be hit. I have researched this problem and found 453 similar complaints on carcomplaints.com; i am a very conservative driver and take very good care of my vehicles. There is no reason to believe that a honda wouldn't last longer than mine has.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph the vehicle lunged forward and did not shift into gear while the transmission light was on. The contact called a local mechanic who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced.the contact had not called a dealer nor the manufacturer.the contact noticed complaintsregarding the transmission for her year, make and model stating that the torque converter caused the transmission to malfunction. The contact stated the faulty transmission could cause a crash. The failure mileage was 125,000.
The transmission failed on my/my mother's car.this car was honda serviced and very well maintained throughout our ownership.the car was also very gently used.it did no long distance driving, the most it drove was 15 minutes to and from my mother's job.there is no reason for this car to fail other than the car being improperly designed and put together.
The check engine light came on 2 days ago on my 2001 honda civic lx. My dealer said it is a transmission problem (needs torque converter) and will cost over $1700. I suspect that honda has premature transmission failure on this model and do not think i should pay for this repair even though the warranty expired on this 4,000 miles ago. I currently have 84,000 miles.
Transmission in my 2001 honda civic ex went out on march 30, 2005 at 79,900 miles. I was driving home from work and the car began to stall in the middle of a busy intersection, when the engine light came on.fortunately, i was able to get the car across the intersection and pull over onto a side street. The car had to be towed to the dealer that night. The next morning i was told that the transmission had gone out, and the repairs were approximately $4,000. I have spoken with dealer and the honda corporation concerning the replacement cost for the transmision. They are requesting that i cover 25% percent of the cost, due to the warranty expiration. Based on the research that i have done, it is apparent that the honda corporation is either manufacturing "defective" transmissions for al of their late model automobiles, or they are using defective parts to build the transmissions. I am aware that the honda corporation has extended a courtesy "warranty" for specific honda's and acura's due to premature transmission failures, but the honda civic is not included in this warranty extension.i was lucky that i was able to pull my car over to the side of the road without someone crashing into me from behind; however,someone else may not be that lucky.
2001 honda civic ex with 138k miles. While driving to work (i am a police officer) my transmission goes out leaving me with no acceleration on a busy highway causing traffic to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision. After doing some research it seems that it is a very common problem for transmissions to go out without warning even when serviced correctly and taken care of.
Transmission failure:started with a high pitch whining noise, slipping started about the 19th, while driving the car would not climb any hillsand within 3 days the car would not move.. The car would not go over 5 mph without the rpms shooting to the red zone.the car has been parked since the incident, it's a driveway ornament. Checked on pricing for parts, but the cost is about $3k for a brand new transmission, used was about $2k.after checking around if the tranny is repaired the problem might happen again, because the tranny for that yr is the problem..
Driving on major freeway in atlanta rush hour going 60mph.acceleration is lost.no warning lights.no sound or issue noted with car.proceed to coast over to shoulder just in time to when car loses momentum.could have been easily rear-ended at 60 mph sitting still would have resulted in bodily injury or death.had car in for oil change and service and honda dealership 3 days prior and no issues were noted.had transmission review and basic checks for car done prior to oil change service no issues found.original owner.only dealership service maintained.
While on a hill the vehicle rolled backwards although the automatic transmission was engaged in drive.the vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem.*nlm
Tranmission failed and car stopped abruptly in the middle of the road. The car has only 72k miles and tramission service has been performed regularly on the car. The dealer quotes $3400 to fix. There are several complaints by many consumers on 2001 honda civic tramissions failing abruptly.
Automatic transmission shifts suddenly or will down shift with erratic performance.automatic transmission will shift slowly.dealership was not able to duplicate the failure and returned vehicle.*jlg
While driving 20 mph transmission failed.consumer had the vehicle towed.dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Traveling 60 mph in the middle lane on the nj garden state parkway, my2001 honda civic lost power due to transmission failure. When i tried to accelerate, the engine raced but there was no power to move the vehicle.suddenly there was a surge of power which caused my car to go into a spin.i missed hitting 3 cars as my car came to rest on the shoulder. Hundred of similar complaint of failed honda civic transmissions can be found on http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/transmission/transmission_failure.shtmlhow many complaints have been filed with the nhtsa?class action suits have been filed and won against honda for 2001 accords, odysseys and acura because of a defective transmission. The nhtsa should have this car recalled. I almost got into a serious accident because of the transmission failure. Living in a syndical world, and seeing the billions stolen by bankers, i wonder if honda is paying off someone at the nhtsa to ignore this safety hazard. Television stations, my congressman and senator will receive a copy of this complaint. Again i was almost in a serious crash do to the transmission failure.do your job and get a recall on this situation before someone gets killed!
Transmission failed while going down highway. Transmission would not engage. At the time of the failure several cars following had to execute extreme avoidance actions to keep from rear ending disabled car. Luckily local police happen and was able to detour traffic around disabled car.
Transmission failure in 2001 honda civic dx within average mileage of the lifespan of the vehicle.i have found numerous complaints on this same year honda on the internet, over 4,000 to be exact.all of which are referencing why a recall has not occurred yet on this make and model.
I have a 2001 honda civic lx at 58,000 miles. The transmission failed a couple of times last month. This month the check engine light is on, so i sent my car to the dealer and the dealer first fix failed, the check engine light came back again after several days. Then this time, the dealer told me that the whole transmission system needs to be rebuilt and the cost will be over $2,000! i searched internet and found this is a common problem for honda civic. Considering that i am very cautious driver and the car has only 58,000 miles on it, honda should recall these problematic vehicles.
I have 2001 honda civic with approximately 92,000 miles. One day i was driving the car and i noticed that it was acting sluggish. When i can to a stop and then tried to go the car would not go past 5 mph. The rvm gauge was going up but it was not picking up speed. When we got the car to the mechanic i was informed that i had to replace the entire transmission. There were no warnings or signs that there was an issue with the car. I have always been current with the maintenance and the transmission just gave way all of a sudden.i was then advised that 2001 civic have a lot of transmission problems but a recall has not been issued. I drive 30 miles on the highway every day, i was just lucky that the incident occurred while i was on the streets.
Dt: while driving the transmission began to slip, the rpms would move out of control.the vehicle was taken to three different service repair shops.all of themdid not find anything wrong with the transmission.about three months later the transmissionfailed over a period of three days.on the third day, consumer took vehicle to a transmission shop,who determined the transmissionmalfunctioned.consumer did not have any repair work performed, and left the shop when the vehicle broke down.consumer had vehicle towed to her home.called honda, who said warranty was up and consumer would be responsible for the cost of repairs.consumer took vehicle to amco ,who repaired the vehicle.they stated it was internal problems. The transmission was not replaced but repaired at 64,000 miles.
I had problems with my car seemed like it was missing. I took it into honda 6 months back had the transmission service and they told me everything was fine nothing wrong. I have always done the proper care and maintenance for the car owned it brand new off the lot. I was driving down the highway yesterday when all of a sudden the car revved up and started slowing way down. I press the gas and nothing. I had to try and get over threw traffic and i almost nearly died. Had it towed to the dealership where they told me the transmission failure and 3600 to fix. Nice with only 94,000 miles. I bought this car for the good rep honda had for running along time but this is a major problem that could have killed meand possible could kill someone else if not recalled and taken care of.
I bought a brand new honda civic ex back in 2001. I change the oil transmission every 15,000 miles with honda transmission oil. There is no oil leakage around the transmission block. The car has only 67,000 mile.my son was traveling on two-way road when the transmission stalled without warning, i couldn't imagine if he was driving on the freeway.at first, i think this incident was rare, and only happened to my civic, but when i read on the internet that so many people had experienced the same problem, then i thought that this must be a bigger issue concerning public safety that needs to be addressed immediately.
The transmission failure is not specific to the date that i have reported. However, i noticed the problem start at 15000 miles. This was the first time. The dealer informed there was no problem with the transmission. I returned twice with same probllem. The dealership performed "some procedures" to correct the problem. The vehicle was running fine after that. The problem returned around 33000 miles. The problem was again the same: whining noice on acceration, trasmission lagging, not moving immediately when shifted to drive and accerator depressed. Also the transmission would started to act up going on gradual inclines, i.e. As if it was slipping back and forth.i returned to dealership where they performed another similar procedure as before. Problem seemed to have gone away. Th e problem came back again at around 40 k. Now my warranty had expired. Hoehn honda in carlsbad is the same dealer i have been taking this vehicle in for service since day one. The service department advised me they would request a new transmission and that they would ask for approval from honda to have it covered under waranty. It was approved and new transmission installed. The vehicle ran fine for three to four months and now the problem reccured.i have discussed this situation with customer service at honda usa. Now i am on my third transmission in my 2001 civic.! honda usa has advised me there is no problem with this type of transmission (continuous variable transmission), and that there have been no recalls at all. The third transmission was installed by cush honda in san diego since the car stalled close to that dealership. Today i have approximately 58000 miles on my 2001 civic and the transmission problem has returned. I have not yet called the dealer. This is my commuter car and i drive this vehicle approx 600 miles a week. I request your help. The dealerships have been helpful with trying to solve my car problems, i believe there is a defect with the cv transmission .thank you.
Transmission failure, a common problem with 2001 honda civics.fortunately mine did not fail to the extent that i was stranded, however many 2001 honda civics have experienced total failure at highway speeds.
I own a 2001 honda civic and the transmission has begun to slip. I was pulling away from a red light on 23 south and was almost struck in the rear end due to the transmission not catching up with the engine, the car only has 70000 miles and i bought it from the dealer with 32000 miles. The vehicle has had normal regular maintenance.
Transmission code p0740told transmission needs to be replaced.driven car normally and has 128,000 miles, but the check engine light has been on for quite a while, and the transmission is the problem.this is a defective part and should not be allowed to be made.many mechanics have claimed this is a typical problem for this model.there are stories about transmissions going out in the middle of driving.can be very dangerous.
The vehicle shut down and will not restart.please fill in additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem.ph
While driving my 2001 honda civic on a major highway the car started to lose speed almost resulting in an accident. I was able to reach a parking lot from which i had to have the car towed back home. This resulted in a $335 towing bill because i was nearly 70 miles away from home. The car will not shift into any forward gear and grinds when in reverse. The car has 114,000 miles and was bought new in 2001.
1. Normal driving conditions. On average, middle of the day (no more than 85 degrees f outside), after driving for 30 minutes or so. 2. My 2001 civic ex has been loosing all acceleration while the rpms still go up. Over the last year the problem occurred once every couple of months. Recently (june 2010) it happens twice a week. The car will initially shake as if about to stall. Then no matter how much the gas pedal is pressed the car looses speed until it is unable to go faster than 2 to 5 mph. The check engine light goes on as soon as the problem occurs. The temperature gauge remains in the normal range (not even approaching high temperature. 3. The car needs anywhere 10 to 30 minutes before it is able to drive normally again. The car was taken to an independent honda maintenance shop to read the check engine light data. The codes gathered point to a cam shaft or torque converter problem popular in the 2001 civic model. No other actions to repair or diagnose the specific problem were done to this date.
When putting vehicle in gear, vehicle will disengage out of gear when accelerating. Goes from second to neutral. Dealer contacted. Please add vin.
The incident of the automatic transmission lock-up began when i was on the road to my job after a 15 minute drive when i felt the inability of my car to maintain the vehicle running smoothly as i was driving through rural road on an upward climb into the mountainside.the steeper the climb until i reached my school after 5 more minutes i was listening to the "humming" sound and feeling the rapid de-acceleration of the motor until the car stopped runningabruptly but the motor did not shut-down and i was left climbing the steep entrance to my school where i work with my 5 year- old granddaughter with me in the car.i had to call for the mechanic to pick up the car which was hoisted to the garage for repair. I made communication with the car dealer but the car has no warranty ( 200145,000 mileage) and it's my responsibility.parts have to be replaced and cannot be repaired.
Car was driving fine (regular maintenance) and yesterday it would not pick up speed and had to be towed in to the dealer who informed today that the transmission was gone and needs replacing.this is a 2001 honda civic with 73k miles on it and is out of its extended warranty.have contacted american honda company to see if they will do a goodwill repair on the car.
2001 honda civic--my husband and i were driving the honda civic on saturday, june 26.the car was driving normally at highway speeds when the car's transmission completely dropped out.the car lost all ability to accelerate and only revved its engine when the gas was pressed.there was no warning for the loss of the transmission function, and we were left in the middle of the road with no ability to accelerate.my husband had to precariously navigate the car through lanes of traffic to getto safety.the car stopped moving completely as we tried to get it off the road, and my husband had to get out of the car and had to manually push the car to the side of the road.the car had just been taken in for repairs on the shocks, and there was no indication whatsoever that the transmission was in danger of failing (the mechanics had checked the car for other issues).the transmission failure resulted in a very dangerous situation for my husband and myself.imagine driving at highway speeds three lanes away from the emergency lane when you completely lose all ability to accelerate or even maintain speed.fortunately, my husband is a skilled driver and was able to navigate us to safety, but a less experienced driver would have likely been in an accident.
Daughter was driving to school when the car died in the middle of traffic in a large city (tallahassee).she could not re-start the car and had it towed to a mechanic's shop.the transmission was shot and we were told this is a common occurrence with the 2001 honda civic and will happen again as this is a mechanical/design problem that honda knows about but doesn't recall.cost over $1700.00 to rebuild and honda was of no help.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that the transmission failed. The transmission would lose power sporadically and when the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would hesitate before accelerating. The dealer advised the vehicle was not under recall and the repairs would be at the contacts expense. The failure and current mileage was 113,000.
The car check engine light came on. I was driving on the highway at a speed of 70 mph. The car began to lose its acceleration power. It seemed the gear was out of place. It immediately began stop acceleration reducing me to dangerously low speeds on a highway. The transmission went out. A new transmission was needed, but i avoided a dangerous situation. Honda should recall the faulty transmission, as this is clearly occurring in many of their 2001 models.
My 2001 honda civic transmission failed in traffic almost causing several rear end crashes. I took my life in my hands pushing the car out of the lanes of rush hour traffic. Have since found out how common this tranny problem is for the 2001 hondas. Took the car to a honda dealer and was told i would need a 3000 dollar rebuilt tranny. This is an outrage!
I am filing this complaint on behalf of honda civic drivers everywhere.it is very clear from doing research that there is an inherent problem with the honda civic 2001-2003 transmission.from speaking to professionals who have been rebuilding honda transmissions for years, it is a problem with materials flaking off the torque converter and the clutch clogging things up.i drive at 2001 honda civic and the p0740 error code has come up, but the car is still running fine, but until i get the transmission supposedly repaired i will not be able to pass aircare even though my emissions are perfectly above average.incidents vary from total transmission failure while driving on a high, stalls, to accidents.if you just google search 2001-2003 honda civic transmission you can see for yourself.i can understand that wear and tear over-time does happen, but it is clear that this is not a coincidence and feel that honda should bear some of the responsibility for building a faulty transmission.
I have a 2001 honda civic ex with 50,059 miles on it.i have just been told i will, in all likelihood, require a rebuild on my transmission.in searching on-line i found 1 site with 169 complaints for the very same thing--2001 civic transmission failure.i found many other sites with the same complaints as well.i also saw where nhtsa said they would not issue a recall because it is not a safety issue!?!my car essentially died in the middle of the road.how is that not a safety issue?!?
Consumer touched brakes to slow vehicle down, but vehicle swerved, and consumer hit another vehicle.consumer stateed brakes squeaks and parking brake needs adjustment, transmission is making noise, no power on acceleration, upper windshield molding failed and reinstalled, noise is coming from right front wheel, gas gauge will fluctuate at times and front engine mount broke.*yd
P0740 tcc (transmission failure) check engine light came on so i got a check engine light service at pep boys. Came up with p0740 so i took it to my local honda dealer in victorville, ca and they said i had to replace the transmission because it couldn't be fix but yet didn't tell me exactly what was wrong with it after paying them $102.00 dollars for diagnosis. But insisted on charging me $3,200 to replace the transmission.
For the past month or so, the transmission made a high pitched noise when starting the vehicle. After the vehicle is warmed up the noise would go away.noise became louder with time.initially noticed transmission problem when vehicle would not engage in drive when shifted from park.when pressing the accelerator pedal there was a delay in acceleration.took vehicle to a reputable honda specialist who stated the transmission needed to be replaced!!! the estimate for replacement with a re-manufactured transmission is $2,500... Ouch!the vehicle is maintained on regular basis and only has 63,000 miles on it.so much for the infamous honda reliability and durability.and to think that the wife and i were considering buying a honda minivan!
My daughter was driving from jackson ms to vicksburg ms and the car stop pulling. She was almost rammed in the rear,the car coast to the side of the road. 2001 honda civic lx transmission stop pulling forward or reverse. I had it pulled to vicksburg honda,the service manager was aware of the problem with the dtc p0730 code, he called customer service they decline to fix the problem, there was over 200 complaint lodged against this transmission. Honda is aware of it and refuses to do any thing about it. This vehicle has 83,204 miles. I am very concern about honda automatic vehicles transmission and to make matters worst is the response i get from honda.
While driving ,the transmission failed,which caused the driver to pull off the highway.the driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer.the vehicle stopped in the middle of the street when the problem first occurred.the problemalso recurred and have been fixed on two occasions, however the problem remained the same. *sc
Within the 2nd month of owning this car i took the car in for servicing and asked them to look a reverse because it was poping out of gear. I was told "hondas are notorious for reverse to be popping out of gear and to just put the stick in 1 and then move hard to the reverse gear. This problem was never even documented. A few months later a few ticks after 36000 miles and maybe even before the transmission was popping out of second. I thought and was told by miller honda that it would be covered. Later it was dicovered that it wouldn't be covered. I am trying to fight this. If i wouldn't have had the problem with reverse and it wasn't a few tick marks past the 36000 miles and all my miles are highway miles (600 miles a week) and the fact that i do not drive the car hard. I just think its a manufacturing or part defect and it is not anything i did.
Automatic transmission failure.
Check engine light came on at 110000 in 2005, at the dealership they said it was transmission and catalytic converter.the car drove fine until october 2008, same problem was diagnosed. It has 163000 now, it still drives but barely. If i stop, the car wouldn't pick up speed, just revs up. Mechanics say transmission failure is a common problem on 2001 civics. Honda needs to issue a recall, there are hundreds of complaints here and other sites. I've had 2 hondas before and none of them had any problems. This is not a maintenance issue, but a manufacturing defect. Honda surely lost its quality and reliability.
Car slipping out of gear or not going into gear.motor revving but the car would not move and then all of a sudden catch and jump forward.put car into reverse and motor revs when given gas but not moving.had to put car back in park and then reverse again.took car to dealer and was shocked to find out the transmission had to be replaced.dealer initially said it would be $2,700.00 then called back and said they would do it for $1,200.00.after seeing many complaints about the same thing i contacted american honda and was told i was getting a great deal for $1,200.00.i do not feel that a honda i purchased new in 2001 with 69,000 miles on it should have a total transmission failure and then be told it is not honda's responsibility.
Car pops out of 2nd gear when down shifting from either 3rd/4th gear for no reason at all.i have taken the car back several times to two different honda dealers & they can't fixed the problem if they can't duplicate it.i've written to the honda dealer consumer affairs in california.they have provided me with a rental car at their expense on two occasions, but the car hasn'tbeen fixed yet.again, i have another appointment to have the car looked at.i've been to the dealer for this problem 6 times, 3 of which are within the last month & a half.car is still popping out of 2nd gear.i've had two other private mechanics drive the car, & guess what it popped out of 2nd gear for them.honda doesn't want to fix the problem period!
I own a 2001 civic lx with approx 120k miles.recently the transmission, over the course of one week, stopped functioning.i had the car towed to a mechanic and the transmission need to be replaced.sounds like a very common problem on civics.if you also have had a similar problem.
2001 honda civic ex transmission failure without warning. I was on the triboro bridge in ny.without any indication my car died.nearly got rearended.a honda transmission going at 86k miles. What a joke.
2001 honda civictransmission failure, with no warning whatsoever. Driving on the street nearly getting struck by another vehicle. How can hondas products fail suddenly,and not claim it a safety issue? how many deaths must occur, before they open their eyes?pure negligence.
While driving my 2001 honda civic ex my daughter was almost rear ended by autos due to the transmission failing. The transmission went into neutral and the car wouldn'taccelerate. Honda has known about this issue. Please correct.
My daughter was driving home and her car started slowing down and the rpms started going up. She called and i told her stop at the autoparts store and see there was a code but the car would not make it over a small incline and stopped in the middle of the road. There was no place to pull over so she had to roll backwards to the flat ground and turn the car around. She made it home but she said the car would barely go. After researching it appears that honda has had this reported many times and they have not had a recall to repair the issue. If she had been in rush hour this would have been a very bad problem.
I just bought this 2001 honda civic 1 week ago. It has 54,715 miles on it. Like a new car. 1 week later i am stuck on the side of the road. I have it towed to honda & they tell me transmission failure. This car is basically brand new. Come to find out i'm not alone in this complaint. Almost every review i have read for the 2001 honda civic is transmission failure. This needs to be the honda top priority recall!! i am outraged!
On april 7, car began having trouble shifting gears.that evening on the way to the mechanic, the transmission gave out in the middle of the street (45mph speed limit).mechanic informed me that it was the clutch and torque converter that failed.will cost $2500 to fix.from internet search this is a very common problem for 2001 honda civic's with automatic transmissions.
I bought a honda civic 2001 recently and two days back the check engine light went up. When i got it checked today, i found its a transmission related error code, it seems to be a common problem with 2001 honda civic. I took the car to a honda service center and they advice me a transmission replacement for about $3500. Honda should really do something about this common problem.
Complete transmission failure in heavy traffic on a very busy road.
My huband was driving on the freeway 65 mph, he aproached behind a slow moving vehicle in front and he slowed down to about 50 mph he downshifted to 4th gear but apparently it went into second gear instead and it felt as if throttle got stuck and all warning lights turned onand lost all power in vehicle, other cars were coming up behind him at the posted speed of 65 mph, he was barely able to coast the vehicle safely to the side of the road. Vehicle was taken to the dealer were i purchased it and they determined that the engine was destroyed and honda will not honor the warranty. My husband did some research and found out that the same dealerhas about 8 or 9 vehicles with engines destroyed internally like mine. It looks as if these new vehicles are almost a death trap if you happen to miss a gear when downshifting on a manual 5 speed transmission.
I was driving on 101 nb when this incident happened. The traffic was heavy and there was jam as i approached intersection of 101 and 85, so i stepped on the brake to slow down behind other car. While slowing down, i noticed that the radio was gone and then came back on after few seconds. Then abs and rsr lights started to blink, the car seemed to loose the power, all needles (tachometer, speedometer) came down to 0 and finally the car just stopped moving. I pressed emergency light but it wasn't working. I tried to restart the car but nothing happen. This was very frightening with the car stopped in second lane from left and emergency light not working. There was not warning sign that the car would stop running, i couldn't pull over to the shoulder. I called 911, while waiting to get through, suddenly the all lights came back on. I then started the car, it started like nothing was wrong. So i had the emergency light on, took exit and drove back home. And while driving back home, the car again seemed to have the same problem, fortunately it didn't stop and i reached home safely. I am so scary to drive this car again. I don't know when it will stop in the middle of the road or worse the heavy traffic highway.this is very dangerous situation. Had i was driving at higher speed and there was no heavy traffic, and suddenly my car stop running, i could get into fatal accident as well as other who might have involved. My car has only 68,000 miles and in very good condition. I hope this issue can be addressed soon enough, otherwise some lives will be lost.
Transmission in my 2001 honda civic ex with 85,000 miles went out.
Hi, i own a 01 honda civic ex and my transmission just died today just like the hundreds of other honda civic owners of this year.my problem began about 6 months ago when i started noticing a strange sound while starting my car, then there would be acceleration slips that happened more and more often, the engine would rev but there would be no acceleration.it was very bad because the slips happened a lot while i was turning out of a drive way and it would stop me in the middle of oncoming traffic.it is definitely a safety issue! during that time, i did some research and found that there are more than 400 other 01 honda owners that have the same transmission failure and that the typical cost for repair would be a couple of thousands.i was hoping that my problem is something different because i took good care of my car, with regular oil change every 3000 miles, changed water pump and timing belt not too long ago too.i wanted to seek other options so i went and got my transmission fluid, spark plugs and even the catalytic converter changed but now i know its probably the transmission failure all along.i really think honda should take responsibly for their faulty transmissions.i 'm not sure if this complaint will help but i just really hope honda will release a recall or something to help all the customers out there with this same problem.
I'm complaining against honda american honda motor co, because i have done some research and found out in 2006 there was a class action lawsuit against them for problems with transmissions on honda and acura but the 2001 honda civic wasn' t included in settlement and i had purchased 2001 honda civic brand new since i thought it was a reliable car and lasted a long time and a lot of miles could be put on it. My car's transmission broke down in 7/27/6 at 158,643 miles and i couldn' afford getting dealer to fix i had someone else rebuilt it.i have always taken care of maintenance on my vehicle and never had any sings of this it just left me in a heavy traffic.since then i have replace my transmission 3 times i have been financially unstable due to my vehicle.i couldn't afford buying another vehicle so i had to borrow to fix transmission i have discovered this is a known issue and there's hundreds of people with same issue and nothing has been done or no recalls it's not fair for all the hardworking people that don't have money to fix something that was a know problem.
Within the span of 2 miles my transmission went from normal to not working.my car began to rev high when i applied the gas and took longer than normal to shift gears, and then stopped working at all and my car would no longer move.i was not even able to move over to the shoulder, so for the next hour until a tow truck arrived i blocked a lane of high-speed traffic.
My car stop working when i was on a busy expressway i had no warning i had just got my oil change in my fluids checked in everything was find.
The transmission slipped the torque converter failed and the transmission burned up.
Transmission suddenly went out.appears this is happening alot with this vehicle. Cost to repair over $3000.
Original owner of 2001 honda civic ex - 58,000 miles on vehicle - automatic transmission failure - vehicle will not engage in reverse and engages in 'drive' mode while in the neutral position.local repair shop determined gears have fused and transmission fluid is 'burnt'.vehicle is having a complete transmission rebuild at cost of $1,950.
2001 honda civic transmission slippage at 100000 miles - vehicle unable to negotiate slightest incline and started to roll back down. Luckily nobody was injured. Very dangerous situation caused by a premature failure of transmission.vehicle repaired via transmission rebuild and new torque converter.
While driving down a typical road in the suburbs, i noticed that when i accelerated from a dead stop at a couple of intersections that my vehicle would suddenly rev up to ~5-6000rpm before switching to the next gear.i got over to the right lane to pull into a parking lot to investigate the problem, but got stuck at another red light before i was able to pull over.when i tried to accelerate again to make it the last 50 feet into the lot, the engine revved, but the transmission would not engage.i received assistance to push my car off the road, and checked my fluids.my transmission fluid was normal and filled to the top. There were no warnings that my transmission was about to fail, no noises, no warning lights, nothing, and this car has been well maintained.i am currently in the process of having it repaired, which will entail having a new transmission put into the car.
I am a 23 year old college student. Struggling with a part-time job and trying to finish school. I just paid over $1000 to get my ac compressor fixed a few months ago. Just yesterday i was on my way home from school and my engine kept revving up, but i wasn't going anywhere, yet i was still able to drive the car, just had to go slow. So i started driving slowly, keeping my speed at about 30mph. I took the local way too. I end up getting to a point where no matter what i did the car wouldn't accelerate, it was as if i was in neutral. The check engine light comes on and the car comes to a crawl, i end up moving the car to the side. While i was waiting, i decided to try driving it again, so i start the car again, and it seems to work alright, however, i could still only go about 30mph. I end up stoppingat a nearby gas station. I attempted to drive home, but didn't get too far from the gas station and the car stops accelerating again. I finally pulled over, called a tow truck, and we had it dropped off at the honda dealer, but since it was night time, no one was there. We went there this morning and we find out that the dealership will be able to get a used transmission with 29,000 miles on it, with labor and parts altogether, the charge was $2500! this is after paying for an ac compressor i just replaced. At this point i don't know if i even want to get it fixed. I've always heard how reliable honda is, this is my first car, thinking this would at least get me through college. I bought this car when i first started going to college, but it just wasn't able to make it. I'm pretty disappointed in honda. I'm not sure what i want to do. I won't even get anything for the car if i try trading it in or salvaging it. I know one thing, i'm not getting a honda anymore.
I have a 2001 honda civic.stopped at a stop sign, my daughter proceeded when traffic cleared. Stepping on the accelerator, the car lunged forward into the intersection, then suddenly lost power to the wheels. The engine was still running fine, but when the accelerator was pushed down, the engine revved but no power was transferred to the wheels. The car rolled very slowly into the intersection and had to be pushed off the roadway. My daughter was lucky the on coming traffic was light and the oncoming cars were able to avoid her.the cause:ashot tranny. Since this happened, i have read so many similar incidents with honda cars.it seems this problem runs throughout the entire line of honda automobiles.this car has only 81,000 miles on it and has had scheduled maintenances performed regularly. I heardhonda has extended its warrantiesto 100,000 for certain vehicles that they make with this exact same problem, but they do not include the civic.maybe in the interest of safety for their customers, and the infamous honda "reliability" they should include the civic. People pay more forhondas, i think i'll go toyota next time.
A 'whirring' noise started coming from the engine compartment.approximately 40 miles later the car would not travel over 20 mph, we made it safely into a parking lot and shut off the engine.started the vehicle after it cooled down and would not engage into drive (but would engage in reverse).transmission needs to be rebuilt.old part is currently available.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic lx. The vehicle was purchased in october 2003. The gears failed to shift normally. While driving at speeds of less than 15 mph, he depressed the accelerator and the vehicle hesitated as if it were stuck in neutral. An independent mechanic replaced the transmission to correct the failure. Less than a year later, he noticed in between 2nd and 3rd gear, the vehicle would not shift smoothly and would remain stuck in gear. An authorized honda dealer replaced the transmission a second time. The failure mileage was 105,000 and the current was 116,941. Updated 2/23/09 updated 02/25/09.
Transmission went completely out in middle of busy intersection.loud whining noise and revving of engine.i was almost hit by three different vehicles.honda was contacted by myself several years ago and would do nothing to fix this piece of junk.now the car is being repaired at aamco.
The transmission on my 2001 honda civic lx (136,000 miles) suddenly failed without warning. High-pitched whine, then revving of engine, and car wouldn't go. I've maintained perfect scheduled maintenance since buying the car. Many similar accounts online of how 2001 civic transmissions have similarly failed recently without warning. Honda dealership service will replace for $3500, but no assistance.
Driving on i-95 south, between 65-70 mph. Suddenly a pop sound from engine and car lost considerable. Was barely able to get car to destination, approx. 25 minutes from where the car slowed down. Car could no longer go in reverse, and could barely accelerate. Had repaired at service station near destination outside d.c. And had to have entire transmission replaced. Huge repair bill. Not even 56k on the seven year old vehicle!
When raining, transmission feels like it is getting bogged down and makes very loud noises like it is hitting something. I have noticed a leak as well. Others have had the same problem.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic purchased brand new in 2001. She stated that the srs airbag light continued to illuminate on the warning panel. She received a recall letter pertaining to the failure. The dealer stated that the vehicle would be repaired in 5 days. She requested a rental vehicle at no cost; however, the manufacturer denied the request. The brakes had been replaced over four times in a period of 4 years which resulted in the struts being damaged. The transmission was replaced twice. The fuel pump, air conditioning system, alternator have also been repaired andthe power locks were inoperable. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 128,000.
Parked the vehicle driveway, exited the vehicle with keys in hand.walked behind the vehicle to speak to neighbor, the neighbor noticed car rolling, we both jump out of way.vehicle rolls down hill across street onto neighbor property and flips on the neighbor's retaining wall.ignition key was removed from the ignition switch with the vehicle in the drive position.

The contact stated that the repair shop advised him that the transmission needed replacing.the approximate failure and mileage were 90,000.
I own a 2001 honda civic. At 108,000 miles the transmission has failed. Engine light on. Code po740. Dealership says it needed a transmission.i had no choice but to have a rebuilt one installed aprice of$2700. Just another honda civic victim.what a shame that so many people have had to go through this nightmare. Why can't anything be done to make honda responsible to at least a partial reimbursementfor something that is clearly a defect that honda created?
My honda civic lx 2001 transmission failed and the vehicle stopped on the highway suddenly which was very dangerous. There is a service bulletin issued(service bulletin num : 04036) by honda for the same problem and it seems to happening for all honda civics 2001 year after 78,000 miles.though honda has recalled the accord model for the same problem but they haven't done for the civic and i have to pay a huge sum of money for the repairs. I request honda to issue a recall and reimburse(100%) the customers who already faced the problem.
I purchased a 2001 honda civic for my daughter. She had a catastrophic failure in the transmission which almost caused an accident. This is an automatic four speed. In process of of having it repaired. I believe, after talking with expert mechanics, this transmission is dangerous and defective.
I have a 01 honda civic lx with 85,000 miles and needs a new (rebuilt) transmission. I'm actually dropping off the vehicle today at aamco transmission. They quoted me $1600. I just spoke to honda and requested goodwill assistance and they told me the vehicle did not fall within the parameters being 10 years old. I told them i have had 6 or 7 toyotas in a row and this was my first and probably last honda. I asked them to pass along my case with that comment and contact me if they want to retain my business.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While the contact was driving approximately 25 mph, the engine revved excessively high and stalled without warning.

Total and complete failure of the automatic transmission on my 2001 honda civic lx automobile.this failure did not have any warning signs prior to failure.it left me stranded on an dark uphill winding road next to a 20 foot cliff.the chp finally provided me support after approximately 45 minutes.the repair estimate for a new automatic transmission is $3100.00.to date, i have not had the repair completed but i suspect that i willdo so in the near future.

The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 117,000.
We purchased this 2001 honda civic ex because of the honda brand supposedly being so synonymous with quality and longevity. If i would have researched on the internet for prevalent problems with the 2001 honda civic, i would have come across the "transmission failure" issue and never would have purchased this vehicle. And i would advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing a 2001 - 2005 honda civic, beware, the transmission will prematurely fail. So, on with the story. We are the second owners of this car and it had 37,000 miles on it when we purchased it from a private party. At around 80,000 miles, the transmission started slipping going into 2nd gear. We took it in to a local transmission company who serviced (changed fluid) and tested it telling us that they could not get it to "slip." so now, my lovely bride tells me yesterday that it was getting really bad and she was having a hard time getting back from work. I drove it to work myself and made an appointment at our local honda dealership. They were so not interested in our dilemma but said that we could bring it in and they would check it out. Not getting the warm fuzzies from them, we made another appointment with our local xxxxx service center. Everyone at xxxxx was polite, understanding and aware of the "infamous crappy honda transmission" issue. Unfortunately, on the drive there, the transmission completely failed on the freeway and we managed to get it off the road and called aamco. They immediately called a tow truck and it is now at xxxxx. Approximate rebuilt cost is $3,100.00. This is pricey, but it includes a nationwide 3 year/100,000 mile warranty. We also called the north american honda customer service line and spoke to xxxxx. She is located at an office in torrance, ca. Xxxxx was so disinterested in our problem and explained that we could take it into our local dealership and it would be at their discretion to take it up with the honda field rep. This is a dangerous situation needing a recall.
Transmission unexpectedly failed in 1 day.it won't shift into any gear except for park.

I was driving on highway 95 when i started to feel the car slowing even though i was in drive. Most cars are going 60-70. I had enough time to exit when the car stopped in the left lane of a busy city street. The car felt as though i was in neutral any time i tried to drive. My 2001 honda civic apparently had transmission failure and i will now have to pay $2400 for the rebuilt transmission. I am shocked to see how many others have had this complaint. I was lucky that i had enough time to get off the highway.
2001 honda civic, complete transmission failure while driving.transmission slipped while driving up hills and then completely failed while driving in the middle of the street.nothing was done by honda, but i had to have the entire transmission replaced for a total cost of 2,400.but according the honda this is the only possible fix for the problem, an entire replacement of the transmission.

The car is a 2001 honda civic lx with 48,000 miles. I was driving on the freeway at rush hour when the automatic transmission suddenly slipped out of gear, stopped shifting, a yellow warning light went onthe dash after the transmission slipped and the car lost power. The warning light was misleading and inaccurate in its assessment. The dealer service center informed me that there was an internal clutch failure in the transmission. The transmission had an internal failure and that it needed to be replaced. But they then said they had never heard of this problem and that it must be only my car that has this problem. I have since found out that it is very common on this make, model, and year.
2001 honda civic, 98,000 miles. Started to lose power while in gear but in neutral engine has full power.. Was driving at 65 mph on interstate when car started to lose speed and power during rush hour.. Honda service first said that the transmission is working fine and the problem i was the catalytic converter then after that was repaired the car lost power again and now honda service then tells me it was the transmission after all that failed. So after $1200 in unneeded repairs i now have a$2900.00 estimate to replace the transmission ... This is joke since i would assume that honda dealers and service managers would be aware of the transmission problems with the 2001 honda civic. Had i known that there was a growing amount of complaints about the 2001 civic transmissions. I would have would have discussed the problem in detail with the honda dealer opposed to taking his word that it was working fine...
Bought a 2001 honda civic started slipping into 3rd. Tried changing transmission fluid with stop slip transmission fluid. Problem persisted. One night it started doing a continual slip and couldn't accelerate. If i wasn't in the country and instead was in a big city this could have been dangerous.
On 9/10/10 traveling at approximately 50 mph, without warning at rush hour on a very busy highway the transmission failed. I called 911 as i was in fear for my life. The engine raced but the vehicle barely moved then completely stopped. Fortunately a man pushed me onto a lot. I was towed home. The transmission was replaced. Evidently the "cooler" was clogged andthe fluids were only passing thru @ 50%.(very similar to the problems seen in the 1999-2001 odyssey ) consequently the cooler was also replaced.
Transmission surges /slips accompanied by "check engine" light. This is second occurrence for this condition. First event deal replaced o2 sensor and transmission fluid and surging/slipping ceased. New event of surging/slipping occurred without prior symptom but at a much greater severity.
I have a 2001 honda civic lx with standard transmission.over the past week, the transmission seemed to take a little longer to engage, especially in the mornings.throughout the day, the transmission shifted into gears better, so i thought i had some time to get it serviced.yesterday, the problem got significantly worse.it took several seconds for the for the transmission to shift gears.after about 20 minutes of driving, the transmission wouldn't shift at all.fortunately, i was in a friend's apartment parking lot when this happened.after that, i was only able to drive the car in reverse.the gears would not engage in d, d2, and d3.i just called the honda dealership that sold me this auto, and they told me that a 7-year, 100k extended warranty was issued for honda 2001 accords, but that this warranty does not apply to honda civics.
My 2001 honda civic stopped in the middle of the road. I had to turn in off several times and turn it on back in order for it to move. I was then told by my mechanics that it was due to a transmission failure. I purchased the vehicle ne win july 2001 and have always followed through with all the services and maintenance issues. Within that 9 years, i had a prior transmission failure that required replacement. It is obvious to me, that there is a problem with the transmission of that model.
Our 2001 honda civic stopped suddenly on a 2-lane highway.i was unable to make it go forward or backward and had to push it off the road. I had to have it towed to a garage with the result thatit had transmission failure.the cost to us was $2,700.besides the inconvenience and having to rent a car to attend a relative's funeral, we have two other great concerns re: safety.how many people in other civics have had this happen on on interstate highway where traffic at 70 mph could not possibly stop.perhaps we will never know.my other concern is that we followed the maintenance manual for the 2001 honda civicand on page 196, the graph shows that the transmission fluid should be changed at 125,000.we accepted that as truth since it was in the manual that came with the car.of course, now the person i talked to at honda says "well it should be changed every 30,000 miles".we took what was written in the manual on page 196 as what needed to be done.if you cannot trust the written directions on how to take care of your car according to the manufacturer's manual, then what can you trust.by this transmission failure and the other 70+complaints that i have seen about the honda civic 2001 transmission failureson carcomplaints.com , i am concerned about the safety in driving this car, especially on the highway.we believe that there should be a safety recall and all the owners who have had to pay thousands of dollars in new transmissions should be reimbursed by honda.updated 12-12-07.updated
My horn stopped working and my srs light came on about a year and a half ago.the dealer originally told me it had to do with the wiring... Costing me $300 which i could not afford to repair.i took the car in for the air bag recall and now they are saying the srs light is on because of a defect in the seat belt buckle ($200)- but why would that make my horn stop working?there are a lot of complaints and this needs to be recalled as this is incredibly unsafe and obviously widespread!!! honda also needs to recall the transmission problems.i had fought them and they paid for half of the repair costs when my transmission dangerously and quickly went out in the middle of traffic during rush hour about three years ago.these are major safety issues!! unfortunately i cannot afford the repairs but i am scared to drive the car with the srs light on. I bought this car because of the supposed reliability and cheap maintenance.it is ridiculous that honda is not taking car of the srs light problem and transmission problem!!!
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving 30 mph and making a right turn, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and the transmission was in the process of being repaired at an expense of $3000.00. The manufacturer was notified, but because of high vehicle mileage no assistance was provided. The current and failure mileages were 118,000. Updated 11/23/09updated 11/24/09.

About a month ago i heard a strange noise. So i went to a small mechanic shop near my home. The mechanic checked it out and said to me "it is a transmission problem. You have to fix it.'he went on to say that the 2001 honda civic was notorious for having a transmission problem. He showed me another honda civic exactly like my model and turned on the engine.when he did, the sound that i heard was identical to that of mine.with all the results of the research i sincerely believe that honda needs to take responsibility for this problem.it is not just a mechanical problem, but more importantly a problem with safety.therefore, i called american honda as i had seen advised on the board and they told me that all the cases were handled individually and thatit had to be checked at the honda dealer. They gave me a case number, and so i took my car to the goodson honda dealership in houston. The service manger ran diagnostics for about two days, and said, "everything is ok. The noise that you hear coming from the car is normal wear and tear.' so i took his word for it.then three days later when i was driving on the highway, my transmission failed. It almost killed me and my mother. The situation could easily have been fatal.i towed my car to my house and called honda america again and reported my transmission failure. I towed my car to the same dealership under the recommendation of honda america and had them check the car.they said that the transmission was out. So i said "i came here three days ago and you told me that nothing was wrong with my car.now three days later my transmission went out.don't you have a financial responsibility to fix my car or at least meet me half way and pay 50% of the cost or at least for cost of parts.at the least recall the 2001 honda civic models for a faulty transmission.'
To start off this car was bought with a salvaged title, however all work was done by a shop to make it new again.i have owned the car for almost 2 years and have not had any problems until this spring.i was pulling out of the parking spot at my bank and got half way into the lane when all of a sudden my transmission just let go andstarted making a real bad grinding and clinking sound.i stopped immediately and the car wouldn't move.i had my car towed to a local transmission shop and they did a full diagnostic and mechanical check on the car.they told me that the differential hadjust fallen apart on the inside and had torn apart the passenger side axle, and the torque converter, along with leaving a lot of little pieces of metal shards and clutch material everywhere.when the grand total was figured up it was $490 labor,$2,373 parts, plus taxes which came to a grand total of $3,006.let me explain that this is my 2nd civic and 1 of 4 in my family.i truly believe that honda's are very dependable cars.how ever when this happens and it is not because of anything i could control it is very disheartening.this car only has 48,000 miles on it and doesn't show any signs of wear.i have read many other complaints about the transmissions in this year and i would like to know what honda is going to do about it.i have talked to the dealer and they said they couldn't do anything for me.so, i called the customer service for honda usa and the lady said she couldn't do a thing because of the salvaged title, when asked to speak to her supervisor she replied, "fortunately i don't have a supervisor."i am still in the process of talking to honda so i can get this matter solved.i have no choice i am a college student who works full-time just to pay the bills and rent, to have this happen is a real blow.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle suddenly stopped moving forward. The driver was forced to drive home in reverse. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and the contact was informed that the automatic transmission needed to be replaced. There were no prior warning signs that would have indicated a potential problem. The vehicle has not been repaired to-date. She called the manufacturer and was told that there were no recalls. They were investigating whether or not they would assist in the repair costs. The current and failure mileages were approximately 78,000.
As part of a very expensive transmission replacement, also a complaint, it was discovered that i had several motor mounts and transmission mounts broken.this entire automobile needs to be recalled by honda.
I was coming from leesburg to falls church with a speed of 45m/h my car stop near tyson corner and the traffic was very fast and i was almost going to hit by lot of cars bcz of my transmission failure ,my car have only 57000 mileage andand i have a honda civic 2001 .
Sudden failure of the transmission, almost stopping the car in the middle of the way at night, has to be pushed out of the way.
The car would hesitate when attempting to accelerate.on the incident date, the car would not accelerate at all.
Transmission failure on 2001 honda civic. It failed for me around 30k once and again around 58k. The first time i was asked to change the torque converter and the next time i was asked to change the transmission. When i researched the web it was a very common failure for transmission on this model with transmission failing at low mileage. No recall was issued by honda.
My 2001 honda civic lx 1.7l had a catastrophic transmission failure while in transit. I was nearly involved in an accident and forced to make an emergency maneuver to exit traffic. After thorough research, i have discovered that this occurrence is not a rarity and is a market-wide issue for 2001 honda owners. Thus far, honda has taken no ubiquitous action to remedy this manufacturing defect as it does not qualify as a safety issue. However, it is indeed an issue of safety when a flawed transmission design causes an automobile to disengage gears while in motion, causing the driver to lose the ability to accelerate or easily maneuver the vehicle in traffic. Currently my car is being serviced by a transmission specialist and i have been refused compensatory assistance by honda north america.
There were no warning signs prior to my transmission failure, infact i had taken my car in for an oil change and a 25 point checkup less than 2 weeks prior to the incident. My car was parked, i started the ignition and tried to pull out of a parking space and my car would not move. Then i tried to go in reverse and it would not go in reverse either. When it finally did begin to go forward it would not drive above 10 mph. I pulled over and called aaa and had the car towed to my home. My car was out of commission for 2 months. When i was finally able to get my transmission checked it cost me $1,400.00 for the repair.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic lx. While the contact was driving 60 mph up a small incline on a bridge, the transmission failed without warning the vehicle began to roll backwards. The brake pedal was applied and the vehicle came to a complete stop. After awaiting a few moments the transmission began to function, although in an extremely poor motion. The contact drove a short distance to a safe location, and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The failure mileage was unknown.
2001 honda civic, i was driving normally when the car started jerking, then it was difficult to control and maintain the speed. The car began slipping out of gear until all i could do was go 5mph until the car stopped. The automatic transmission failed with 91,530 miles on my vehicle. The computer fault codes in my car are po740-tcc circuit malfunction and po730-gear ratio incorrect. The initial failure of the torque converter now can only be resolved by a complete transmission replacement.
Transmission failure at 70,000 car maintained transmission flushes at dealer x3at 35,000/ 50,000 / 69,000 dealer states unaware of any transmission defects with this vehicle although internetsearch turns up thousands of complaints manual states no fluid change until 100,000 miles normal conditions severe conditions a little more often.
While driving 50 mph, the transmission failed without warning. As a result the vehicle would not accelerate.please provide additional information.
On the way home from work the car started jerking. When the gas pedal was pressed the rpms would go way up into the red zone with no difference in the speed of the car. Coasted into a neighborhood. It starts fine but will not move. We had aaa tow us to our local auto shop that we have used for years, they ran multiple tests on it to find out that it needed a whole new transmission. We had no problems leading up to this. We have owned it since 2005 with regular maintenance completed. I called american honda this morning to ask for a "goodwill repair". They told me that since we purchased it as a certified used vehicle and it was over 7 years old our warranty was no longer in effect. We can fax them our paid receipts and proof of transmission fluid maintenance and they will review it and have someone call us in 2-3 days. They told me that there are no recalls that have been made on the civic only on the accord and odyssey even though through my research i have found there have been many complaints regarding the 2001 honda civic transmission. I have always owned hondas because they truly are low maintenance as long as you take care of them and they will last forever. My last civic was a 1988 that i had for 9 years and it was 17 years old with over $160,000 miles - never had to replace the transmission. Honda needs to take responsibility and do something about the 2001 honda civic transmission.
When my civic was at roughly 98,000 miles, the check engine light came on and stayed on.i had round rock honda inspect the vehicle, and they informed me that the car was giving off a p0740 code, which denotes internal transmission failure.as such, they recommended an entirely new transmission.the service advisor informed me that this replacement would cost roughly $3,000, and i had to wait several weeks for a new transmission to arrive.in that time, i got a second opinion from an independent, highly reputable honda mechanic.he confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced, and that the torque converter clutch was ruined and had burned up the fluid.he further informed me that this is a common problem in honda transmissions from the early 2000's, especially from 2001 civics.my transmission was eventually replaced, at a cost of $1467.48.after doing a little research, i've discovered that there are hundreds of complaints from honda civic owners for this very problem.indeed, technical service bulletins have been out for years regarding this issue.given honda's reputation for reliability, i find it extremely unusual that the transmission died this early in the life of the car.internet message boards abound with stories of civic owners from subsequent model years who received partial or total refunds for transmission failures.since subsequent model years shared the same 1.7 liter engine and the parts are virtually identical, i believe that my case warrants investigation as a manufacturer defect.
Transmission on 01 honda civic failed at 120000 mi. Because the dipstick on top ofthe transmission became loose and let water and dirt enter the trans. And contaminate the oil, causing failure of the automatic transmission. Honda service rep. Said the oil should be replaced at 120000 mi. The oil in this transmission was replaced at 115000 mi. ( we do have tickets to that fact) honda says because i sold this car to my 17 year old grandson, they will nothelp at all with the repair . This is not right because the dipstick is a bad design.
I was driving into work this morning when it felt like i accidentally hit the shifter on my 2001 honda civic lx into neutral. I looked down to fix the problem and saw that it was in drive and that when i pressed on the gas pedal only the rpm's increased but my speed stayed the same. I was going about 50mph and when my car began to cruise to a lower speed i was almost rear ended by the car behind me. I had to have the car towed to a mechanic and was told that my torque converter was broken and that i would have to have my transmission rebuilt or replaced. The estimated was anywhere from $2,600 to $3,200 depending on what exactly has to be replaced once they start to disassemble it. I have done research on this year make and model and have found the 2001 honda civic to be notorious for transmission going out without any warning and that honda refuses to acknowledge this as a problem even though there are thousands of complaints because it is not what they deem a "safety hazard". Had i gotten rear ended, since i was close to being, i would have to say that's a pretty big safety issue to me.
I own a 2001 honda civic with approximately 61,000 miles on it.the check engine light has been going on and off in my car for the past couple of days.yesterday while driving, my engine started revving but my car would not reach more than 20 mph.finally, my car stopped moving all together even with my foot on the gas pedal.i had to safely try and maneuver my car to the side of the road so i would not be hit and i could get out of the immediate way of traffic.my car had to be towed to my local mechanic.he said that i am in need of a new transmission.after reading some information online, it appears that this is a rather common issue for 2001 honda civics.i contacted honda of america in ca this morning to see if there have ever been any safety recalls for my car.i was told that there have not been any recalls and that i am responsible for the repair since my car is no longer under warranty.i now have to pay $3,000 to fix the transmission on my vehicle.luckily, i was not hurt.however, i do believe this is a safety concern since my car randomly stopped working by no fault of my own in the middle of the road.if this is a common issue for 2001 honda civics, why has there not been a recall?
Bought a 2001 honda civic ex coupe with automatic/continuously variable transmission with 84,000 miles. Drove for a week, had it checked out by a mechanic, everything perfect. On the 6th day i owned it whiledriving at 45 mph the engine revved suddenly went up with simultaneous loss of power to wheels. It was as if the transmission couldn't find the next gear. I pressed braketo slow down, transmission couldn't down-shift. I got out of traffic to right side of road, stopped the car and cut off ignition, restarted, put in drive, and got the car to go 50 yards at 15 mph. Then lostpower to wheels, although engine was running fine. No warning and no engine lights. Car towed to repair shop that couldn't identify problem. Towed to honda dealer, service advisor said transmission had failed, will replace with used one for $2889.50.

2001 honda civic transmission failure. 1. The car is only 9 years old with 85000 miles. Just driving the car on the road, and the car lost speed suddenly and almost caused a major accident.2. The failure was one time but almost life threatening.3. Had to repair the transmission.there are so many complaints about 2001 honda civic transmission. Nhtsa claims that these complaints are important. What is being done?!?! does this event need a high profile death like the toyota situation?please hold honda accountable and get the transmission recalled! before someone gets killed. Is nhtsa doing it's job?
While drivingon a busy street the transmission failed. Car immediately slowed down to idle speeds barely giving the cars behind a chance to slam on their brakes and swerve out of the way. There was no indication that this was going to happen, a honda dealership had looked at the car for a recall repair and did not mention anything amiss with the transmission. When the tow truck came they checked the transmission fluid was black like the transmission had been malfunctioning and burning the fluid. It cost me 3800 dollars to replace the transmission.
I bought a used 2001 honda civic lx back in december 2010, with about 125k miles on it with the carmax report that did not reflect any major problems or accidents for this car, it did reflect the maintance that the privious owner made and it was as schedule. The car ran well and i made the schedule maintainance for oil and general checks. Now after 6-months i started the car to go to work and as i was driving the engine light came out and the car stoped accelarating. After getting towed i took the car to the dealer where they ran a dignosis, that resulted on a transmission failure. Now they are charging me close to $3,000 to get it fixed. This has been a major inconvinience, i had to find a borrowed car in order to get to work, and iam not sure if i should get this fix, iam afriad somenthing else will occur, since this model has had so many complaints.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated while driving at unknown highway speeds, there was an abnormal increase in engine rpms and the vehicle would not shift gears. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure persisted and the vehicle was taken to the dealer three additional times. A transmission flush was performed each time but to no avail. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair facility where the mechanic advised the transmission was defective, the clutch system had failed and there was an incorrect gear ratio stored in the vehicle ecu. The transmission was replaced. The manufacturer was notified and would not provide any assistance because the repairs were not performed at an authorized dealer. The failure mileage was 143,665 and the current mileage was 144,138.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving at 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating but the engine kept running. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the transmission failed. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 62,000.
I have a 2001 honda civic with 85,000 miles. I had the headlight switch fixed in may 2007as part of the honda recall.at this time the dealer did a "once over" on the car and said my struts were leaking, but nothing else.on november 4th i went to drive my car in the morning and the car would not go. The car started, but it would not go into drive or reverse, etc.luckily i was in my driveway and not driving on a highway or busy street.it turns out that i needed an entirely new transmission, i wound up fixing it for $2,500 as the car is paid off. I called honda's customer service and they said they will only entertain the problem if i had the car towed to a honda dealership for a diagnosis - and what pay $5,000+ for the dealer to fix the transmission - no thanks.
While driving honda civic lx 2001 model it stopped on the road, not moving anymore. Luckily no injury. But if it happened in the highway some major accident can happen.honda has to make a recall on this issue before big problem arise. And i like to get my expenditure reimbursed too. Transmission has gone completely. My car have only 48000 miles on it. This is not the image i got about honda from my friend. If i got this issue not resolved i am not going to recommend this vehicle to anybody .i was thinking to get a new honda suv myself. Now i have to think again. It costing me around 5000$. Please research this issue immediately.
Vehicle shutters on initial acceleration.transmission slips during shifting to higher gears.engine revs in gear with no increase in power.
My honda civic 2001, stopped in the middle of a super busy street. My car began to rev up everytime i needed to move forward. And then at a certain point i noticed that it would not go pass 40 km/hr and then i stopped for a bit and my check engine light came on. I started move out of the parking space and then the car would not go pass 20 km/hr and 2 minutes later, my car stopped completely. My car would not move forward but it would reverse.i was then forced to tow my car to my neighborhood mechanic but now he can't seem to find a transmission and since this happened in the summer, the transmission shops are closed. I have lost so far 4 days of work because i do no have access to a car. I am still waiting ...
Sudden transmission failure in a 2001 honda civic automatic transmission. Turning right at a light the engine revved high and the car didn't get to 30mph. I pulled over and could not get the car to move in any gear.i had it towed to a local shop i trust, they said my transmission fluid is clean, but the transmission itself is shot. Quoted in the range of $1800-$3000 to replace the transmission. The car is worth around $2000-3000 in good condition (kelly blue book).
On april 21st while driving my 2001 honda civic lx's transmission died this seems to be a common problem. As of right now my car is sitting in a friends house to see what needs to be done to fix it and the cost. What i don't get is why this isn't a recall does someone gave to die to get this fixed.
The transmission failed while driving the car.it was just like the car was shifted into neutral.luckily no other cars were around and i was able to get the car safely to the side of the road.no gears worked, tried drive, low, l2, reverse.the car rolled just like it was in neutral.
Transmission just die while drive.engine will rev but car will not move.
2001 honda civic.transmission failure.replaced transmission.
When vehicle is at a stop with an incline, the vehicle will roll back, consumer has to hold both brake and accelerator to avoid sliding back. Also, tires will then make spinning noise/screeching. *yd
I own a 2001 honda civic ex, the cars from that period have defective torque converters that can 'shatter' causing instant loss of power..car dumped my daughter 400 miles from home in l.a. Yesterday, dead transmission had no clue that there was such a massive problem with hundreds of complaints posted to the one web site i visited! what?s really sick is that if it is mostly a torque converter failure, there is really nothing too mechanical about them.the only thing that can go wrong with them is if the materials used to make the propellers and transfer spline are substandard.i realize that now that you may be looking for more direct causal of serious accidents, however a sudden unexpected loss of forward motion can be as dangerous as total brake failure, and is a very real safety issue.
I was driving and pulled off the highway and as i started to accelerate from a stop light my car failed to shift.the car was revving but did not go past 10-15 miles. Luckily my destination wasn't far and i made it.upon inspecting the car i felt as though something was wrong with the transmission and that was causing the car not to shift properly.the car is a 2001 honda civic.i did some research on the internet and found that it was a common problem among my vehicle.is there anything honda will do for me?
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving 30 mph, the vehicle failed to move forward when the accelerator pedal was depressed.when the contact stopped the vehicle to make a left turn, the engine continued to run, but the vehicle would not accelerate.the vehicle was towed to a dealer and they stated that the transmission failed and needed to be repaired at the cost of $4,000.the failure was not covered under warranty; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs.there were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel prior to the failure; however, immediately after the failure, the check engine warning indicator illuminated.the failure mileage was 72,000.
While driving up on elevated road or slightly elevated road and coming to a complete stop and when the brake is released the vehicle rolls back.
Transmission failure, slipping and not engaging properly/ on the way home at the highway transmission start to slip and rev up, lose speed suddenly was able to merge to the emergency lane lucky there was no vehicles around or behind me, the vehicle is at my home now afraid that happened again with my kids aboard. Vehicle only have aprox 80,000 miles 2001 honda civic ex sedan.
I drive a 2001 honda civic ex 101k miles at time of failure. I just found out that this car is notorious for transmission failure with little to no notice. I was turning left in front of oncoming traffic and suddenly my car wouldn't go anywhere. I was lucky that the oncoming vehicles had enough time to stop before they hit me. This also almost caused a secondary accident because a car behind a car that almost hit me had to screech to a halt to keep from hitting the person in front of them. I have not repaired the car yet because i have read about other people having this same problem time and time again with rebuilt or new honda transmissions on this particular vehicle. This has rendered my vehicle useless because i am not going to pay $3000 to fix a problem that is likely to happen again.
As i tried to accelerate after stopping for a red light, i discovered my 2001 honda civic would only run 5-10 mph.i had no warning; my check engine light only came on then.i had no clue what was going on and i was only relieved that i had already dropped off my 2-yr. Old son.i panicked since i thought i was doing more damage by driving the car.i drove to the nearest gas station 2 blocks away and i was told that it was the transmission.they told me that they would have to rebuild the transmission for $2600 or i could get a used one for a couple hundred less.i was told the old one was from a car with over 60,000 miles. (my car has 93,500+).i chose to rebuild it, not wanting a fairly old transmission.i think i was overcharged for this service, but i couldn't do anything differently at the time, since i worried about not having a running car and i needed it repaired.i am extremely surprised to find out that this transmission problem is common for 2001 honda civics, but there is no recall on it.i read that this problem is not considered hazardous on the road, but i wonder by whose standards.i could have been driving on a highway when my transmission gave out and cost injury to those in my car and around me.i had no advance warning that it would occur, so i was only lucky that it happened at a red light.so, it may not be immediate danger to drive a car that has transmission problems since it will not explode or cause a fire, but there are still those risks involved such as in my situation of having no prior knowledge.i still feel strongly that a recall be made so that drivers of 2001 & 2003 honda civics & accords,etc. Will have awareness that such a condition does exist & what they do with the information falls on them.i think it is by luck that nothing serious has occurred with the defect on these transmissions.it would be a tragedy for just one person to get seriously injured or killed to send out that information and public awareness!
Failure of 2001 honda civic transmission with 46,000 miles.
My husband and i took over the car from his aunt in 10/2005, at 56,020 miles. The car has been well taken care with periodic oil changes and some maintenance. On 12/22/2008, when it was of 82,409 miles, the check engine light was on. This time we did pay some amount for other services but due to financial hardship could not pay for the torque converter replacement, as advised at kolbe honda at reseda. After the service performance, the check engine light was off. However, on 6/15/2009, we had no choice but to replace the car's transmission and torque converter for $690.69 (on the 70/30 split).
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving 60 mph on the interstate, the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.when he depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to maintain speed and the transmission failed.the contact was able to maneuver to the shoulder of the road until it could be towed to a repair shop.the failure mileage was 83,204 and current mileage was 83,205.updated 08/04/08.*ljupdated 08/06/08.
2001 honda civic; transmission issues that caused the car to loose power and stop. If this happened on the highway at 55mph my wife would have been in a dangerous situation. Honda knows about this issue and refuse to take responsibility.
Noticed sudden tugging on day of incident when car hit 20 mph, while driving home from work, and after getting off of highway, car suddenly stalled at a red light.i turned vehicle off for about 10 minutes to see if it would move, but no such luck.the engine was working fine, but the tires gave out completely @ 73k miles.i had the car towed to my local mechanic, and he stated it was p0730 as listed in honda civic 01 tsb.mechanic said i needed to replace tranny.since it is costly i contacted the dealership, had the car diagnosed and now they ask for $2100 for a remanufactured transmission.i have now contacted honda zone and american honda for goodwill assistance since these vehicles are known to have bad transmissions, received a case number and hopefully matters will be solved, since vehicle is out of the 36k mile warranty period. Do note vehicle was purchased brand new from lot and all maintenance records are up to date.there were no prior warnings or indications of such malfunction, and i was put in a dangerous situation.this vehicle should have a safety recall.
I was driving in the busy city of baltimore when i accelerated at a green light. In the middle of the intersection my car would not move when i hit the pedal and just rolled very slowly. I managed to get it into the garage of my work building where i parked it safely. Leaving work, the car started fine and i drove it to a mechanic to inspect what the problem was. Several times my car stalled out on the highway and at green lights. The mechanic told me i had complete transmission failure and it would cost upwards of $3,000. I researched online and found out that 2001 honda civics are notorious for transmission failure.transmission goes with no warning and endangers unsuspecting drivers! i was lucky that no one crashed into me. There should be a re-call, compensation or a goodwill repair to all owners of 01 hondas.
Stoplight turned green and as i went, my engine revved up like crazy but the car was going only about 20mph. Then i had parked my car to check what was going on.we noticed a burning smell and checked the oil & water but it seemed okay. We weren't that knowledgeable with cars and so we decided to let it cool down first before we try again.when we came back the car started and rolled a few meters on this uphill road we were on and then it just stopped and started rolling back. Luckily it was 4am and there were hardly any cars at that time. Had my car towedand i wasted a good amount of money since i was 30 miles away from home. I found out later on that the torque converter had failed and it may have possibly ruined the transmission. The transmission has yet to be fully checked but i'm thinking worst-case scenario here and the amount i'd have to spend just to get the faulty honda parts. I noticed how apparent that this condition is to many early 2000 hondas. So much for "reliability", honda. I was just lucky to be local and for it to happen at 3am when there aren't much cars anymore in hollywood.
On friday, july 16, 2010, i was driving from oakland to san francisco on the bay bridge when i started having car problems. I was pressing the gas pedal, the engine was revving up, but the car's speed was slowly decreasing (average speed for traffic on the bridge was 50-60 mph). Concerned about my safety, i pulled over to the right hand lane. I immediately changed my route and decided to take my car directly to a honda service center. Along the way, the car's engine continued to rev, and it had a hard time maintaining its speed. I was going 20 mph. By the time i arrived at the service center my hazard lights were lights were on and i was barely going 10 mph. My check engine light went on 8 blocks before reaching my destination. Before this incident, my car ran smoothly.technicians hook the car up to a machine for a diagnostic test which produced a dtc code p0730.the corrective action per honda based on this code was to replace the entire transmission. I contacted american honda requesting a 'good will repair' since my vehicle had regular maintenance checks and only had 78,851 miles on it. Honda stated that the vehicle was old, and since i couldn't produce paperwork confirming that the transmission fluid had been drained and replaced, they couldn't help me.the final cost was $3,412.30.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact was driving approximately 30 mph when the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle would not restart and was towed to an independent repair shop. The contact was informed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The failure and current mileages were 140,000. The vin was not available.
When driving at low speeds without warning transmission would slip gears.
On the evening 9/11/07, 3 weeks after paying $300 for a75,000 service check-up, my 2001 honda civic would not accelerate over 20 mph.i pulled over and called a tow truck to have it taken to a near by honda certified mechanic.the next day i was told that there was a defect in my transmission that honda is aware of - service bulletin 04036 - and that i would need a new transmission.the mechanic told me to call a honda dealership and tell them that my transmission had failed due to service bulletin 04036.i had my car towed to honda cars of gilbert where they offered to give me a "re-engineered" transmission with a 3 year warranty but that i would have to pay for the labor to install.i asked why do i, a consumer who has been inconvenienced by a known defect, have to pay for the labor.the honda dealership told me to take my question to honda.i also asked for paperwork regarding my 3 year warranty and was told that my receipt would serve as my warranty. I can only be thankful that i was not on the freeway or in a bad part of town late at night when my transmission failed. I, the consumer, am paying the penalty in my own hard earned dollars, to have honda replace my transmission with a "re-engineered" transmission.i do not understand why i should have to pay labor for installation when the transmission failure was no fault of my own.i also am not satisfied with the terms of the warranty in that i have no documentation, only a receipt.how am i to sell my car to another consumer in this sort of situation?with as many people as their are that have been affected by this "service bulletin" i feel that honda should be required to do more to protect the safety of the consumers driving in their cars.
Transmission complete failure at 121,000 mile after keeping maintenance schedule. There was slippage 3 years ago and i was thankful that we were moving to fl since there are few major hills there i thought it would help save my transmission. We could no longer afford to stay in florida due to my health failing and i needed to be nearer to family to take care of my health issues. Upon moving back to pa about 3,000 mile later my transmission failed completely. I am presently in the process of speaking with honda of america since i bought the car based on reputation and knowledge that with general maintenance that you can get 200-400,000 mile it maintained. They are talking about good will, i am talking about spendingover 15,000 for a new car that got me 6 years and wham. Nothing. I have always spent 1,000 on a used car and always gotten more than a year out of thatit would have paid me to buy 6 used cars and i would have been better off i would still have money in my pocket at this point instead of looking at possibly spending a bunch to get this one fixed!i am disabled and not in the position to spend anything on this car.. I have put enough into it over the years to guarantee that i should not be looking at a major repair at this point!i have spoken to a number of 01 honda civic owners and no one is happy with this car i understand that the same transmission is in the civic that is in the accord they admit the recall on the accord but not the civic i have researched this issue and find that 98-03 accords are rotten on transmission failure and 01 -02 civics are right there with them.please look into this matter and address this.thank you very disappointedcivic ownerlad
Late april/early may of 2008, i noticed that my 2001 civic was not shifting gears properly. When i tried to accelerate out of a parking lot into traffic, the car's engine was revving up, but i did not gain speed, therefore almost causing a major accident because i could not accelerate to the speed of traffic. The mileage on the car was around 75,000 at that time. Almost a year after paying for the replacement transmission, i have noticed that there are a lot of people with the same issue. I've tried talking to honda about it, but they refused to accept that their transmissions are faulty. The more i try talking to them, the more excuses they bring up to not compensate for the replaced transmission.
Daughter driving can when suddenly the engine revved and the car coasted to a stop.ends up the transmission failed completely and the diagnosis is replacement.. The car has approx 120,000 miles and is in good condition except for the transmission.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. She noticed that the check engine light had illuminated on the instrumental panel. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and they advised her that the transmission needed tobe replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 91,000. The vin was unavailable.
Code p0740 keeps reappearing in the car even after several checkups. The gear fails to shift from 203 gear which results in slower pickup and may cause excessive noise and "revving" during acceleration.
Transmission was leaking oil.consumer took vehicle to dealer, anddealer stated that transmission had two cracks.consumer is responsible for having it repaired. Please provide any further information.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated while traveling at 65 mph, the transmission failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealer where the contact was advised that the transmission had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was left with the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The dealer did not provide a cause for the failure. The failure mileage and current mileage was 68400.
I was driving to dinner and my car seemed to be jumping.after dinner, i drove to an auto zone and my boyfriend checked the transmission fluid.the fluid level was fine, so we drove away.i got about a half of a mile down a busy highway in north texas when my car would not shift.every time i pushed the gas it would only rev up the rpms. My car eventually stopped and would not move.i put on my hazards and continued trying to get the car to go into gear.it would not move.a car coming down the highway nearly rear ended me.a county constable showed up and helped us to push the car onto a side street not as busy as the highway.another cop arrived and told me that if i did not get my car off the road in 5 minutes he would have to call a tow truck.i have since researched this problem with the honda civic 2001 model and apparently it is extremely widespread - it seems in every one of these cars the transmission fails and happens very suddenly.i have been told even though this is an inevitable issue with this year of the honda civic i am responsible for the entire repair cost, which is around $2,500.
I was leaving work and driving home. It takes me about an hour to get home. I was going down a major highway when i saw break lights so i started to brake until i came to a complete stop. When the car in front of me started to move i hit the gas but it would rev up but would only go a few inches. I tried to get onto the side of the road away from oncoming traffic and my car refused to move. It revved up but would move at all. I called 911 and was told my the dispatcher that someone would be there to help me.my fiance showed up and pushed my car to the side of the road so i wasn't blocking traffic. I had to have it towed to my mechanic and spent $200 just to have it towed. The next day i called and was informed that i needed a transmission which would cost $2560 to fix. I do not have that kind of money since i am about to get married and i still owe about $1675 for the car. The car is now sitting in my parking lot since i had to have it towed back to my house in order to avoid any charges for leaving it there. If it wasn't for the traffic and the car seized up when i was driving 65 on the highway i could have died.
Transmission would periodically stop shiftinginto third and fourth gears. Vehicle would not move at a speed faster than 40 mph. Dealer has advised consumerthat transmission could not repaired, but must be replaced. Vehicle has been taken todealer on three different occasions.another dealer determined torqe convertor as a cause and replaced it.there was no transmission problem since then.
My 2001 honda civic (automatic transmission) will not move when i put it into gear.i tried all the gears: drive, reverse etc.nothing happens when i step on the gas.
Major transmission design problem for all 2001 honda civic models.well-known problem but honda corporate failed to take the responsibility to do a safety recall all the defective models for appropriate transmission replacement.risk for consumers and the safety of others.already filed a formal complaint with honda corporate (1-800-999-1009) requesting a goodwill repair for settlement but still waiting for response.i will be very appreciate if nhtsa could assist with this matters.thanks!
Our 2001 honda civic transmission went out while my husband was driving the car home from work.he suddenly lost all power.luckily, it was not on a very busy street, because he barely was able to pull over.this easily could have caused a collision if the street were a busier one.
The transmission failed in middle of fwy for my honda civic lx 2001 .it had 134,000 miles on it.
For 2001 honda civic at 62,000 miles, the check engine light came on suggesting a failure of the transmission (code p0740) according to the dealer.the car drives fine.this was in january of 2008.the light came on again 8 months later at 70,000 miles.dealer says transmission torque converter clutch is failing.there is no noticeable problem with driving or as the car shifts.the dealer recommends replacement of the transmission.
I want to file a complaint against honda for making faulty transmissions in their honda civic year 2001. There are many complaints i am reading about people with the same problem i am having which is a p0740 fault reading that says torque clutch converter solenoid open and that clutch will not engage when vehicle reaches a speed of between 40-45 mph which isan unsafe condition and can cause a crash and ultimate transmission failure on the highway. I bought this car used less than five months ago at mossey nissan in escondido and they have not been very helpful in working with me to get this car fixed. I paidmore money on the car than i should of because of deceptive business practices used to sell me the car by mossey of escondido. Please help!
This vehicle has had three transmissions installed. The vehicle shakes when braking, and when it is at a complete stop.
My 2001 honda civic's transmission failed without warning on friday, may 31 2008.if i had been driving at high speed on the highway, my car could have gone out of control with dire consequences.luckily, i was able to coast to a stop and call a tow truck.we have to have the transmission replaced entirely.
The variable transmission (cvt) equipped in my 2001 honda civic hx produces a rumbling sound at low rpms (approx. 1500 rpm).this problem has been noticed by other 2001+ civic hx cvt owners.the problem has been discussed on an internet site for civic hx cars (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hondacivichxcvt).a couple people reported the problem to honda and some took their car in to get the cvt problem "fixed".the procedure to fix the problem consists of flushing the cvt 3-6 times.the problem is usually resolved after flushing but in some cases the problem returns later.i have encouraged my fellow hx owners to report this problem as every one of us (2001 and 2002 hx cvt owners) have reported this problem.dt
While the vehicle was in reverse the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward and jumped the parking barrier.the vehicle then went down an embankment and only stopped after hitting a wooden piling.the dealer replaced the transmission because it was slipping.after the transmission was replaced the consumer noticed that the vehicle would drift backwards while on an incline.the dealer indicated that the transmission was operating as designed.
My check engine light turned on and i brought it to my mechanic to inspect.it turned out there was a problem with the transmission.i did notice that my car was not picking up speed as usual and when the gear shifted, it felt slightly off.i bought my car new and maintained it well.it is 9 years old but has only approx. 47,000 miles when i found out i had transmission problem.i called honda assoc. And notified them the problem and asked if there was a recall or if they were aware of any transmission issue and they said no.i also told them the same problem happened with my dad's 2001 honda civic when the car was approx. 4 yrs. Old and 2 other people i know who owns a honda odyssey also had transmission problem within the first 5 years of owning the car.i expressed my concern that it seems like honda's have transmission problems but they just brushed it off and were non-responsive.this is my second honda civic i have owned and was so sure i will buy honda again but i know for certain i will never buy a honda again.and to top it off, i received two recalls for the car!the transmission issue should be investigated and those you had transmission problems should be reimbursed.
2001 honda civic lxcomplete transmission failure. While backing out, check engine light came on.could not shift to reverse nor drive.stuck in the middle of the street.
Have a 2001 honda civic ex 140,000 miles with a sudden transmission malfunction, that made the car unable to run. Dealer failed to honor any discount. A new transmission had to be placed.
My 2001 honda civic was purchased new by my husband and i. We have not had mechanical issues with it until now. It has 106,000 miles on andjust suddenly stopped running on the side of the road. The transmission is out. The cost of repair is approx. $2000, that's with a rebuild transmission. I have read multiply complaints about this same problem and wonder if it is a trend. Can anything be done by honda to help with the cost of repair? the car is in the process of being repaired now. We have had it in the shop for two weeks. It has taken that long to come up with the money.
Honda civic 2001 lx, 106,000 miles.transmission failure without warning on a major highway, car just stopped.contacted honda customer service, they wanted the car taken to a honda dealer after i had spent a lot of money towing it from virginia back to delaware to my son's shop, who is a mechanic.honda customer service said all scheduled maintenance on the car had to be done by a honda dealer ln order for them to even consider helping with this situation.i have had my son do all the work on my car, so i am left without a car and getting the money up to put the same type of bad transmission back in my car so i can sell it. The website autobeef.com has numerous reports of this transmission failure on the honda civic 2001.
My 2001 honda civic has been giving me slight transmission problems over the past year.this weekend, it would rev up before it fell into gear.i took the car into my mechanic for an oil change and to have him check the transmission out and i'm now faced with a $1600 replacement transmission.i don't drive the car hard and i have 57800 miles on my car.this is far too little to have to replace my transmission.scouring the web i found that 2001 civics and 2003 accords have the highest rate of transmission failure, yet there is no recall and no recourse for owners to take.i'm a full time graduate student and only work part time after losing my job, i should not have to shell out $1600 which i don't have to pay for a known transmission problem.but i have to find a way because i can't go to work or school without my car.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving between 5-10 mph on normal road conditions, there was unexpected gear failure.the driver was unable to move the shift lever out of gear.immediately, the check engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off.the vehicle was inoperable and manually pushed to a nearby authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the transmission and gear ratio failed.the vehicle is currently inoperative and has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 76,000.
I was driving to work during evening rush hour on a busy interstate.i went to accelerate and nothing happened.my 2001 honda civic ex simply revved high in the rpms and then the check engine light came on.i managed to make it to the shoulder before my car completely lost all momentum.the diagnoses from the dealer:transmission failure.my problem with this is that my car has 91000 miles on it.the transmission shouldn't fail this early on a car, and there are many similar complaints about this particular make and model.there were no major warning signs that i detected; it just happened all of a sudden and put me in a very dangerous situation.if honda is aware of this defect on this model, they should, if nothing else, be forced to notify owners of the possibility of this happening.someone will end up getting hurt from this; i am just thankful it wasn't me.
Yesterday i was driving down a very busy stretch of i-680 in the walnut creek, california area. My car was working perfectly when all of a sudden my 2001 honda civic ex at (with only 65,000 miles) slipped out of gear, essentially into neutral. I was unable to get back into gear and had to navigate over 3 lanes of rush hour traffic and coast to the side of the freeway. Luckily i was able to make it to the side of the road without causing any accidents, although it did back up traffic. To top things off, i didn't have a cell phone and was stranded. As it turns out my transmission failed. After doing a quick google search i learned that this is a major problem with this year/model honda. On http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml there are 200 people reporting the same problem. Many people weren't so lucky and this problem has caused numerous accidents. I am very disappointed and feel this should problem should be addressed!
The transmission on myhonda civic 2001 lx with 58,000 miles failed despite regular maintenance at the honda dealer. Unfortunately the rebuilt honda transmission is plagued by the same issues and i suspect that the future is not bright. At this writing, honda has not agreed to reimburse me for the repairs.
I was driving home with my daughter from her school soccer practice in rush hour when suddenly my car began to decelerate.iwas in rush hour traffic and driving in the lane when this occurred.i had to immediately turn my hazard lights on and work my way over two lanes of traffic because my transmission disengaged.i tried pushing on the gas pedal and the car did not respond.the speed limit on the road wad 50mph and i was lucky that the car to my right allowed me to merge to the right.it was a very bad time for my transmission to fail.i had no warning signs and could have been in a serious accident in the traffic i was in.reading other complaints on-line make me realize that the2001 honda civic was the worst year for honda automatic transmissions and i am shocked that no recall has been issued.honda has always had a very stellar reputation and i believe they should do the right thing in taking care of it's customers.my vehicle has 121,000 miles and has also had several problems with it's a/c which is also a major problem.many consumers have reported the a/c problem also.
While driving down the road, my transmission failed, completely without warning.the check engine light did not come on until *after* the car completely failed to continue its forward motion.i was lucky enough to be in an area where i could just hop out of the car and push it to the side of the road.i am *extremely* lucky i was not on the freeway when this happened, since i was literally *minutes* away from it. I had to get a tow truck to tow it to the dealership, where they tell me i will have to fork over $4000 dollars b/c they don't usually fix broken transmissions and said it should just be replaced. I have been faithful in servicing my vehicle *precisely* because i did *not* want my car to fail on me without warning.i am *extremely* unhappy about this.if honda already knows about this massive problem, they have a responsibility to make sure that it gets fixed.i think only sheer blind luck has kept so many people from getting killed with this defect.how long will it be until someone's transmission fails in the middle of the road and they cause a major accident with more than one life lost.it is not a matter of *if* it will happen.it's a matter of *when* it happens.and how will it look when that goes on the news and everyone knew about this problem and didn't do anything about this?this is despicable, irresponsible, and just plain wrong.
Vehicle started slipping its transmission. Initially vehicle was not moving more than 20 mph even at 3000 rpm on expressway with 45 mph speed limit. Finally vehicle stopped on the road. It was not moving on drive or reverse mode. There was no difficulty to turn on or off engine. Vehicle has only 71100 miles. Transmission oil was flushed and refilled when 60k service was performed at dealership.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The vehicle stalled moments after it was started. After restarting it, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were approximately 123,000.
While driving on a very busy stretch of double-lane interstate highway, my 2001 honda civic lx automatic transmission failed. The car just slipped into a lower gear and the engine would rev when i pressed the gas.i instantly put on my hazard lights, but that did not stop cars from almost slamming into my car. I was terrified. After coming to a complete stop (again, in traffic - i wasn't able to pull over) and realizing my car was completely dead, my car was pushed down the street (by a police officer) and over to a side street where i would be out of traffic and could wait for a tow.this incident happened on saturday, august 9th, 2008 and today, august 13th, 2008, i am still without a car as a whole new transmission is needed.i have since learned that this is an extremely common problem with 2001 honda civics.in fact, their customer service (1800-999-1009) department confirmed to me that they are aware of this issue with this year, make and model but a recall is not in place. It is very strange to me that a car company would allow people to drive around in cars they know will unexpectedly die for no reason besides a manufacturing flaw.i am very thankful that i wasn't hit while broken-down in traffic, i wasn't in a bad neighborhood, it was daytime, and my cell phone was working. I'm sorry to think that others are not as fortunate.the fact that honda has acknowledged this problem and agreed that it is extremely common is especially disconcerting to me as a consumer and as a driver. I am considering a class action lawsuit.i have attached a link to a website that documents this transmission issue with 2001 honda civics for your reference:http://www.hondaproblems.com/civic/transmission-failure.shtml.
With no warning at all and luckily after exiting interstate 10, my honda civics transmission started slipping out of gear, feeling like it was going into neutral, until it finally could not move. I coasted to the side of the road and called a tow truck to take me home. Prior to writing this complaint i did some research and came across multiple sites (including honda) that states that these honda civics have known problems with their transmissions. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and a recall should be requested before someone dies unnecessarily. I am appalled that honda (who is fully aware of this defect) does not initiate a recall to correct this obvious defect in these transmissions. Is there a certain number of people that have to die in order for them to do something? i think the nhtsa has an obligation to the people of the usa to force a recall since it's obvious a problem exists here! until now, i had a different impression of honda...built to last? except for your transmission!
April 11, 2009 i was driving on 1-75 on alligator alley when out of nowhere my car transmission failed.i have 55,000 miles on my car and take immaculate care of it.i have service doc's to reflect this.what happened to me was incredibly dangerous.i could have been killed. The car was going 75-80 mph and then suddenly the service engine light went on and the car just wouldn't work.it was 92 degrees out in the middle of alligator alley.i think its pretty clear this is a safety issue and the 2001 hondas should be recalled.its at the dealer in davie and i don't think its fair that i should have to repair my crankshaft and transmission.this is a defect honda is well aware of.in fact, they recalled the odyssey, prelude, accord but not the civic for the same problem.its '!@#$%.i almost got killed and was left completely stranded and car only has 55,000 miles on it.so far nothing has been done.the dealership doesn't call me back.they laughed saying i will probably have to trade it in.well i am not laughing.this is not something that is fair.they need to pay for this and recall the car.this is a very expensive repair and the dealer told me it was clear that the parts were defective.
Power loss on a freeway.car:honda gx 2001 160k milescvt transmission in this car was replacedat 56k milesafter gentle use and flushing trans.fluid every 10k transmission has to be replaced again!
From time to time the transmission would jerk really hard but not often.then finally in 3/2009 without warning the transmission(after a visit to the honda tech with no problems noted) it came to a halt when i attempted to take of when i received a green light.the car bucked when i took off and then came to a complete halt which almost resulted in a rear-end accident; the car behind me almost hit me.i called honda headquarters explained to them i was the only owner, can show service records and can take my car to the dealer to confirm the transmission failed because it was faulty and that i cam not alone with this problem.they were not inclined to help me on any level and refuse to accept the liability of putting a defective car on the road.a good reference site is carcomplaints.com it outlines how egregious this offense is for the 2001 honda civic transmissions. A recall is way over due!
My 2001 honda civic recently died on me on a major highway. My 6 year daughter was a passenger as well. As i drove down the highway the car's engine revved up but the speed declined. This almost caused a serious accident. I have been informed by my mechanic it was my torque converter that failed. I have been looking online and i see that several if not all 2001 honda civic owners have had the same issue. Had i not been able to maneuver as quickly as i did at a decreasing speed me and my daughter could have been killed! honda needs to make a recall on the 2001 honda civic transmission immediately; before someone is seriously injured. With all the complaints filed about this car and this issue honda should make a recall order. My estimated price for repair is $2000 for a new transmission. My car has 118k miles.
My wife was driving our 2001 honda civic (with only 98,000 miles on it) home on the interstate and noticed some slipping as the gears were trying to shift.she managed to get off the highway and coast to a safer location.i then had it towed to honda where they quoted me a repair price which, even with their "goodwill" offering, was still $700 more expensive than the place i ended up with.i waited and waited for the repairs to be completed but found out that there were no transmissions available in the whole country,for about 8-10 weeks i waited for a transmission just to find out that if i had kept the car at the original honda location they would have had a transmission available (very mysterious why they wouldn't release any to other places then).in any case, a transmission was finally released to the outside company and the repairs were made...just to find out that it would lock in 4th gear and would have to be ditched.three months of waiting and aggravation and still no result.honda does not seem to care whatsoever and in spite of hundreds of complaints by other civic owners (very, very similar stories) at hondaproblems.com there have been no recalls for the civic transmission, claiming this is not a safety issue.i believe my wife driving on the interstate with a bad transmission is a safety issue and honda should most certainly issue a recall as they have done for some of their other lines, e.g. The odyssey and the accord.please help!!
While driving through a puddle of water transmission made loud noises.then, consumer lost some power.
Leading up to the failure, i didn't have a big issue.after stopping at a red light or stop sign, the car would initially hesitate a little when beginning to accelerate, but besides that, there were no other symptoms.the failure effects the 3rd and 4th gears.when accelerating, the engine will rev and there is no increase in speed whatsoever.my car is currently in the shop having the transmission rebuilt.it was the only option besides completely replacing the transmission.i had the eld unit replaced because one mechanic thought it may help, however it did nothing.my "check engine" light had only been on for one week prior to getting a diagnostic test done on my car to figure out the problem.it would have been sooner, had i not been away from home.my safety concern comes when attempting to merge into traffic.without 3rd or 4th gear, it is nearly impossible to get the car up to safe speed to merge in with cars going 60-70 mph on the highway.i was nearly rearended last weekend while merging onto a highway, but managed to pull to the side of the road before a crash occurred.this is a huge safety concern!my car is a 2001 and only has 80,000 miles and has had all of the regular scheduled maintenance performed in a timely manner!
I took my car in for the 30,000 mile service to a honda dealer, after about a week i started to notice problems with my cars acceleration so i took it back to them and told me my transmission was going out to my surprise. I told them i had no problems before i brought in, that all the problems started after the service.well about 2 weeks after the service my transmission went out and they did not take no responsibility for it.my concern is if my car is getting its regular services at a honda dealership and my transmission is still going out for no apparent reason then their is something wrong with these cars transmission.even when i called to get an estimate for the cost they transmission places were telling me that there is alot of problems with these cars transmissions that they had just fixed about 3 other cars that week.and not only that but this is the 2nd time they replace the transmission the first it was un warranty and my car had 14,00 miles. Honda should defiantly due something about this or be some sort of reimbursement of some sort.
Dt: thecontact states the transmission makes a high pitch noise when starting the vehicle. After the vehicle is warmed up the noise will go away. When pressing the accelerator pedal there is a delay in acceleration. She took the vehicle to the dealer; they stated the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle is maintained on regular basis.
Honda civic lx 2001 with 72,000 miles. The transmission failed on the freeway. Until this time there was no problem with the transmission. Except for the last 10 miles the accelerator was sluggish.
I bought a 2001 honda civic with 103,000 miles. Went to take it home and got on the freeway and the check engine light came on. Took it in and the code was p0740. The transmission man says i need the transmission overhauled to the tune of $2000.00 to $2500.00. Since then i have been on the computer and am finding out about 50% of this code is on hondas. I think honda has a problem they aren't addressing and leaving the consumer out in the cold. Help, can't afford a new transmission. The code comes on and they reset it and a few days later it comes back on when i get to higher speeds. Am going to try a transmission flush first, but have read it really doesn't do any good. I am going to contact honda and see if they will help in anyway. I do think this is something you should be checking in to for the consumer and make honda do what's right. They are selling and continuing to sell a car with a problem that they aren't addressing.
I have an 01 honda civic lx and its transmission failed. It could have been really dangerous, life-threatening if i were on the highway.
I have a 2001 honda civic with an automatic transmission.i was on the highway driving behind a slow semi-trailer so ipulled out to pass.when i stepped on the gas pedal the engine revved but the transmission did not engage.i had to pull back into the right lane behind the semi as the car would not accelerate to pass the semi.ever since that time there has been a considerable lag time between stepping on the gas pedal and having the transmission engage when traveling faster than 25 mph.
Was driving on the freeway when my 2001 honda civic jumped gears and shifted to a lower gear the check engine light came on and drastically reduced my speed had to maneuver off the freeway exit out as soon as possible and managed to drive it to a mechanic nearby which said i would have to take it to a dealer to fix it. When i took it to the dealer they told me i would have to wait until the light came back on so driving on the freeway it happened again this time took it to the dealer and received the code po740. Doing research online i found out this was common in civics and some accords and that 2001 was the worst. Honda has been using faulty transmission and solenoid parts and has caused problems for many owner that seems to cause problems and not allowing to shift into third gear and allows it to redline. Indeed no problem occurs when not driving to shift into third gear at about 3500 rpm but this causes a problem when the need to accelerate quickly or driving uphill is required, luckily i was able and traffic on the freeway wasn't heavy when this occurred that allowed me to exit quickly but if this had caused me to shift down it would've been dangerous and caused a hazard to me and other drivers. Please look into this as no recall has yet to be made even though the multitude of people with this problem.
While shifting the gear in reverse the car went forward, and when i shiftedit to drive, the car wentbackward.when i stepped on the gas pedallightly, it accelerated really fast and when i lightly step on the brake, it abruptly stops.the honda service department is trying to fix this car.the first problem reported was the "power switch"secondly they reported that it's a "transmission"but still couldn't figure out if what else is the problem.lastly, they notified me on april 19, 2001 that the problem is the "transmission solenoid."
The transmission of my 2001 honda civic ex gave out on me on oct.10, 2009. The car revs but there is no motion. I had to have it towed to my house. I was referred to this website by someone on carcomplaints.com. There have342 reports so far on the faulty transmission of this particular model. I feel it is a safety hazard because the transmission can go out anywhere (like a freeway) with no warning and cause an accident. I was almost in an accident when my car failed out of nowhere and had to push it to a gas station in traffic. My car shouldn't have this problem because it has 28,000 miles on it and it is 8 and a half years old. It is a design flaw by honda, which they refuse to admit. Numerous people on carcomplaints.com have contacted american honda of america and they acted as if they never heard of that complaint and refused to compensate them for the almost $3,000+ it costs to repair the transmission.
The vehicle started jerking with acceleration on day one. By day two the vehicle could barely accelerate and upon acceleration, the rpm's would increase exceedingly. Upon contacting a local honda dealership, i was instructed to replace the transmission fluid with new honda transmission fluid. Before i was even able to reach this point, the car will no longer accelerate to an appropriate or safe speed to drive at. So now, i have no vehicle to get to and from work and without significant funds to jump to conclusions and replace the transmission, which is now what the dealership recommends, i'm at a loss of what to do.
While driving up a hill, the car's torque converter failed without warning causing the car to lose power to the wheels. I subsequently had to coast off the road to safety while being passed by traffic. The torque converter had to be replaced at a cost of about $2500.
We own a 2001 honda civic, with an automatic transmission. On april 17, 2008, the transmission disengaged in heavy traffic. The car had to be towed away. The transmission specialist said it would cost over $2000 to repair. (it is still in the shop.) numerous complaints have been logged for this very same problem but honda dealership refuses to address it. The car has 117,000 miles on it.
Transmission suddenly blew while driving the car. The car would not accelerate past 20 mph. Almost rear-ended as a result. Pulled along side of road and called my mechanic (who gave it a once over the month before and said all looked ok) to come take a look at it. Confirmed the transmission was at fault. There was no previous indication (light, slippage) that there was anything wrong with the car.
I was driving along interstate 95 in my 2001 honda civic lx at normal speed. When i exited the ramp the transmission failed and the car would not go past 20 mph. I almost was almost hit from behind by a semi truck on the off ramp. I called my auto repair shop and they told me to have tow towed in. I was told the car needs a new transmission and for a car with 90k miles that is abnormal considering this car had no prior problems and all scheduled maintenance has been done. I called honda of america about this and was told no extended warranty for this repair bring the car into honda and we can look at. Another way for honda to make money on back end of sale. I am the original owner.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving 40 mph, the rpm increased to 7,200 and the speed decreased to 20 mph.the contact pulled over and turned off the vehicle.when the vehicle was restarted, it would not move when he shifted into drive.the dealer stated that the transmission caused the failure and they replaced the transmission.there had been no further occurrences.the failure mileage was 71,000 and current mileage was 74,000.
Always did maintenance checks on my honda civic 2001.transmission failed at 124,000 miles and transmission has to be replaced.
2001 honda civic. Transmission failure.i was driving on the freeway and the transmission failed. With no transmission i had no power and had to pull over.this happened over a year ago. The reason that i am complaining now is that 5 months later the flex plate broke. I was online looking for an owner's manual for my car and the first 3 pages related to transmission failures. One suggested that it was related to the flex plate. After the flex plate broke, the honda mechanic suggested that the flex plate was unrelated (but did offer a 10% discount).the transmission going when driving is dangerous. Not fixing it properly extends that danger.
Cars transmission started slipping on the way home from work.going down hill transmission completely failed and engine revved up - would not move.pulled over to side of road and car would not move.would not move in forward or reverse.transmission fluid was full, no apparent leaks.fluid smelled like it was burned.car had all service up to date, performed by dealer.car was purchased brand new from dealer.transmission had been serviced (fluid changed) twice by dealer.had car towed to dealer - diagnosed as bad transmission.quoted price of $3876 to replace.found numerous reports of other civic owners on the internet with the same transmission failure.honda transmissions are obviously poor quality and not reliable.some people had to replace trans. 2-3 times in first 100,000 miles.
I was leaving my home and driving about 1 mile to my destination. My car had been functioning normally earlier in the day. I noticed that the transmission slipped as i went up a small hill. Within 1/4 mile the torque converter failed (transmission failure) and i had power to the engine but no forward power. I was stuck in the middle of the road and could only get to safety at the side of the road by coasting. Had i been on a more heavily traffic road, or on a steep hill of which there are many here, the outcome could have been many injured or deaths as i was a sitting duck in the road.
2001 honda civic lx transmission failed,daughter was at intersection and car would rev but barely move,car has had been maintained and lightly driven//waiting on honda's resolution to xmission failing causing dangerous situation for all,many other incidents of this with these transmission.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving less than 55 mph, the vehicle stalled.the vehicle was pushed off of the highway to safety and was able to be restarted; however, it would not accelerate or shift into gear.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the transmission needed to be replaced.the current and failure mileages were less than 126,000.
I drive a 2001 honda civic lx (100k miles) which is in a+ condition and is impeccably maintained. I was driving on highway 264 on 7/7/10, in nc. My car suddenly jerked and was left with just a neutral rev when i tried to accelerate. Because of heavy traffic i was unable to get off of the highway and was stranded on the roadway. Other motorists assisted me in pushing the car from the roadway. I was towed to a repair facility where it was determined that the transmission had failed. After doing some research i have found that this is a common issue with this year vehicle. I found hundreds, if not thousands, of other owners of my same year vehicle with the same identical issue. There are many, many websites that are addressing this to the public. I even found that "consumer reports" is aware of it and shows it in their ratings for this specific year and model.having a vehicle spontaneously disable on a highway, or anywhere, is a true safety hazard.
Transmission failure problem and complaint against 2001 honda civic may 6, 2010.sudden failure to accelerate while in traffic will kill someone, as it almost happened to me today and i want the nhtsa to get serious about a safety recall!there are hundreds, if not thousands, of transmission failure complaints against the 2001 honda civic and this problem deserves investigation which will surely prove this manufacturer is very well aware of the massive problemyet refuses to do anything about it, leaving 2001 civic owners in deadly situations, and if not killed, with huge repair bills.my towing bill alone was over $400.00 due to the remote location in new mexico where the incident happened. The law must step in, with a class action suit filed on behalf of 2001 honda civic owners immediately.this failure reported here had no events leading up to the inability to accelerate, never happened before, no strange noises.in fact, new front struts were recently installed (the old ones were leaking, another major complaint from owners of this model!)the consequence was a near miss accident between my civic and a heavy duty, lifted 4 x 4 truck, which nearly wiped me out when my car suddenly would not accelerate.this is one of hundreds of near misses reported, why won't someone make honda accountable for their obviously faulty vehicle problem & demand a recall?why do we have to have death, injury, fires, damage, and crashes before odi and nhtsa look at the complaints???to correct the failure, i'm filing a complaint with odi and requesting a good will repair from honda and opening a file and get a case started for this safety related defect.
My husband was driving the car, tried to turned left, and the car suddenly would not engage in any gear. The car could not be driven further, was towed to a repair shop, and the transmission was replaced.
Honda civic 2001 transmission failure : have been maintaining my car with regular service schedules. Spoke to other folks who own a civic and they too have the same problem. Was driving in the highway and when i was picking up speed, the car just wont move. I request you to act on this before we start losing lives.http://www.hondaproblems.com/civic/transmission-failure.shtml.
I have a 2001 honda civic hx with the cvt transmission. At 14,533 miles the transmission started to slip while on the freeway. It would loose power and the revolutions would go way up, the check engine light came on and the "d" light on the shift indicator started to flash. When i took it in to the dealer they did a "3 time flush of the transmission per bulletin" and sent me on my way.well at approximately 15,000 miles it started to malfunction again, same signs and symptons as the first time. The dealers solution was to replace the transmission. This process took about a month during wich time i was provided a rental car.there is more, on 01/17/03 the car is now at 40,000 miles and experiencing the same problems with the transmission. The car was taken to the dealer on 01/18/03 and i am waiting for their diagnosis.thankfully i was able to exit the freeway safely all 3 times without having caused any accidents.
In the span of 2 minutes the transmission in my 2001 honda civic went from working fine to having no gears that work. At the time of the failure i was driving across the ben franklin bridge towards camden, nj in heavy rush hour traffic. It was only through shear luck that i was able to make it up the upside of the bridge and then cross over 2 lanes to the right lane and coast to the first exit where i was only clogging up a smaller road. This could have easily cause something much more horrific if i had not made it up the bridge and into the right lane.
I bought a 2001 honda civic le with 86,000 miles.at 95,000 miles, the transmission starting slipping out of clutch while driving.it caused inability to keep the car at speed and had to let off on gas until the transmission would "catch".required replacement of the transmission at approx $3,000 cost.
Backed out of my driveway and on my way to work,6:30 am.the car stopped moving and another car nearly rear ended me. It just coasted to a stop in heavy early morning traffic.2001 honda civic 2 door.tried to back up but it wouldn't go.i had to push the car out of the road and back to my driveway.this is the first time it has ever happened,car has 204,000 mls on it.my first honda went well into 657k and had zero issues,my ford escort went over 400k, no problems butthis one nearly got me killed.i do everything to take care of a car,bought this one brand new,over $19 grand.tow truck picked it up after i found a ride to work.i didnt want to leave it set on the side of the road which is why i pushed it back home. Transmission failure. Car worse than a dodge neon that had same issues.
Car starts driving different when exceeding speed car starts to sound loud as if you were pressing on the gas and the car were on natural. As i was on the freeway the car stalled completely leaving me stranded on a fwy no emergency lane to pull over on merely causing several accidents my three daughters were so frightened and will never be comfortable in that car again. I have taken the car to a mechanic and in the process of finding out the monetary damage.

My 2001 honda civic (88,400) began to make a whining noise in january 2009.i had several people (including a honda dealership and a toyota dealership) look at the car to find the source of the noise, and i asked each technician to look specifically at the transmission, but every report told me that nothing was wrong with my car.the most recent check on my car was performed a week ago (4/28/09).then, a week later, my transmission failed.while there were no accidents, there easily could have been, as i had just been on the highway, and suddenly my car would not shift into third gear. I can't imagine what would have happened at a higher speed or in a higher gear, and i don't want to.i drove it straight to a dealership and discovered that my transmission needs to be entirely replaced.i know that i am not alone in having a honda civic with a transmission that failed much too early (and after eight years of conscientious upkeep) because there are plenty of complaints to be found on various websites.this is a dangerous problem -- i could easily have crashed or been rear-ended because my car would not accelerate properly.thank you for your attention.

I was left pushing the car through busy traffic to get it off the street. The car has always been regularly serviced by honda and has 110,000 miles on it. I don't have the money to fix it so it is sitting in my sisters driveway until i can figure out what to do with it.

Nothing leading up to it. Was on freeway when the car refused to go anymore and began slowing while merging onto rush hour traffic freeway. Transmission failed! was almost hit 3 or for times trying to get this car off highway. Recall this problem it is affecting people all around the country.
The vehicle rolls backwards when on a slight incline when in drive.it is an automatic not a standard shift!

One day my automatic transmission had some issues shifting gears and there was a noise coming from the front end when starting the car. Afterthe car was warm, it didn't seem to be as big of an issue. This happened for a few days and one day driving home, it just died. I had it towed to a local transmission shop and before the mechanic took a look at it he mentioned the torque converters going bad in the 2001 civics. Same in my case and oil leaked into the transmission. Only a few parts were able to be saved so he is rebuilding the rest for $2300. I filed a complaint with honda but from what others have said it does no good. Something needs to be done. There are so many similar stories out there. Carcomplaints.com is loaded with them.
I own a 2001 honda civic- i have maintained my car properly and have went in for all service maintenance. My transmission went out - all of a sudden- it stopped on street- i could have been killed.they now say repair bill is 3200.00- is there any help i can get. Saw information on website stating transmission problems concerning honda 2003 & 2001 honda civictransmission problems.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while making a u turn at 10 mph the rpms began to increase and the vehicle would not move forward.she turned the vehicle off and restarted it but it would not move forward or backwards.

Took my car into dealer for routine maintenance (fluids changed) $278. They reported that all was well with brakes, transmission, shocks, struts, tires, etc. I made it 45 minutes on the road towards home and after a stop-sign left turn onto a 4 lane high way my car would not accelerate more than 30 mph and transmission shaped light came on the dash. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic!i pulled over. Car was normal in reverse, i had to put the car in gear and not touch the accelerator to get it off the road. Called the dealership. They sent a wrecker. They called the next day and said they started it up and drove it around the lot when it came in and there was no problem. Next morning, the mechanic started it- no problem. He took it out long enough for it to heat up a little and the light came on and it barely made it back to the dealership. The dealership told me it was coincidental that it failed after they had done maintenance on it and want $3000 for new or $2600 rebuilt to fix it. I have since found out about the issues with 2001 honda civic transmissions.hoping for a 'good will repair'. No response from them, yet.
2001 honda civic having a complete transmission failure, even though the car was well maintained. This seems to be a common problem with the particular model and honda corporate is well aware of it. However, they will not recall the vehicle or reimburse customers for the repair.my son experienced this problem while on his 5th day at his first full time job. He was alone in a new city and we gave him the best of the 4 cars in the family, believing it was the most reliable one!now we are looking at a repair bill of $2,800, rental car bill and toll truck bill.the only good thing about this is that he was not traveling at high speed and had enough momentum when it happened to pull into a parking spot (illegal though).
Total transmission failure.. No warningno check engine sign, and justbarely over 100,000 miles on it. I contacted honda usa and their telling me there is nothing they can do for me , however many reports shows that this is a big issue with 01-03 civics. And work is not the only use for my car also pleasure reasons, and casual driving. This incident happened while i was visiting toronto, canada. This totally stranded me in canada.! i was only lucky i just exited off the 401 expressway ramp and on to alocalyet major road. I have yet to get the car fixed i am having it stored in canada for now until i have enough to ship it back to the usa. Cost for storage is $250 usd per month.
Check engine light on in '01 civic lx with 66k miles.error code p0740 (torque clutch converter).honda recommended replacing the transmission.my opinion is that no modern car should have a transmission repair at 66k miles.after much research, my conclusion is that there is a problem with the transmission on most '01 civics and honda is doing nothing to rectify the situation.
While accelerating through an intersection engine raping where increasing but car was actually slowing down.down shifted automatic transmission to d3 and got car through intersection before light changed.car would go about 2 blocks before transmission would start slipping again.the torque converter and transmission have gone bad at only 85,000 miles without any warning.*ln
The transmission on my honda 2001 civic failed despite my regular service and maintenance schedule at honda certified service centers. I am the only owner of the car and can vouch for its top maintenance and oil changes,etc. You expect this not to happen at 88700 miles for a new hondacivic. Driving home from work and the car would not accelerate. Pulled over and called aaa.
When vehicle is at a stop with an incline, the vehicle will roll back, consumer has to hold both brake and accelerator to avoid sliding back. Also, tires will then make spinning noise/screeching. *yd
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while driving at 20mph the vehicle started to slow down by itself.she pulled over to the side of the road and she turned the vehicle off and back on and the vehicle then operated normally.

The failure mileage was 49000 and current mileage was 50000.
Honda 2001 civic 4 door with 80,000 miles. Transmission died on the highway with my daughter in the car. Took it to honda dealership and the said i need a new transmission ($2800). Car has never had any problems. This happened out of the blue, no warning. There are lists and lists of people who have the same issue with kind of make and model of honda. Someone needs to do something about this.
My transmission failed driving down a highway, the car barely made it off the busy highway.it left me stranded for a couple hours until it was towed and i got a ride.
My 2001 honda civic stopped running while i was driving in the fast lane of the 101 fwy in l.a. No indication of any problem. I depressed the gas pedal and the engine just revved like it was in neutral; there was no acceleration. I went from going approx 60 mph to coasting. I managed to get across 4 lanes of heavy traffic and off the fwy without causing an accident. 2 hours later my car was towed to the nearest honda dealer and i was informed that my car needed a new transmission.
One month ago, 8-14-09, i had my transmission flushed and the fluid replaced. On 9-11-09, the check engine light went on while driving on the freeway. Less than 15 minutes later the transmission failed. Mileage: 150,000 miles.
2001 honda civic lemon transmissionsmy check engine light came up at 35000 miles. It showed up 2 codes related to transmission and torque converter. The same problem has been reported widely by customers of 2001 honda civic but honda is refusing a recall.http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2001/transmission/transmission_failure.shtmlthe cost to owners are from $2400-$3500 when the transmission shouldn't be failing in the first place.
Automatic trans failed while driving in september of 08.had a used transmission put in, due to lack of funds for a brand new one.
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 easily been stranded in 0 degree weather.had the car towed and it looks like i need a new transmission.the current mileage of my car is 140k.went online and discovered that there are hundreds if not thousands of folks who have had the same problem.honda it seems is aware of the problem but no recall has been issued.
I have bought honda civic 2001 in jan 2001 from goodson honda, houston, tx. After one year i moved to the canada and informed the company. They acknowledge the receipt of my move letter. All the repairs have been done by dealers so far in us and canada. Here in canada company covers all civics for up to 60000 km for transmission. In january 06 after oil change and air filter replacement my car started making strange noise at startup, i took it to the dealership who said its a transmission problem. I took to the transmission shop who said there is nothing wrong. Since american honda claimed and instructed customers not to change transmission oil until 80000 miles, i never thought about transmission problem at that less mileage. But recently my rarely driven car with 45309 mileage broke down. As it was evident that engine was running but car refused to move, i towed to the transmission shop. Apparently it is a manufacturer fault as reported on internet many civics with my kind of vin series developed that problem (see www.about.com) as their linear solenoid is faulty. I contacted american honda and honda canada both refused to do anything about it.transmission expert mechanic told me that he is getting more and more civics and accords with transmission problems caused by faulty linear solenoid.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that the vehicle was driving sluggish.while parking the vehicle on an incline, the vehicle suddenly stalled.as the contact shifted into reverse, the vehicle began to roll backward. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and they advised her that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were approximately 70,000. The vin was unavailable.
Transmission failed without notice at 129k on freeway causing hazard.
I was driving down the road when i reached a red stoplight.when the light turned green, i pressed the gas and the car was motionless. The car would rev up but wouldn't move. To make a long story short the transmission failed without warning. My 2001 honda civic only has 89727 miles on it and has been well maintainedwith service. After researching this, i have come to find out honda civics in this model year are notorious for transmission failure.as well as some of their other models.unfortunately they refuse to issue a recall or admit to this problem.this could be a real safety hazard for drivers that are moving down the road or at high speeds on the freeway and this happen. Thankfully, i was at a stoplight when it happened to me...the cost of a new transmission is costly and will be a huge financial blow to me right now. I hope that you can assist honda to realize they have faulty torque converter and transmission parts in their 2001 honda civic's.
My honda civic has only 40,600 mileage on it. I saw the "check engine" light on my car. It went off automatically and came up again. I scanned for the obd code, i got p0740 (tcc circuit malfunction). When i called the us honda customer service they asked me to have it checked by honda dealer. I took the car to honda dealer who charged about $130 to run the diagnostics and suggested that the transmission needs to be replaced. The estimated charges for fix were approx. $3,800. Honda customer service denied any help with some reasons like:1. The car is out of warranty.2. I'm not the first owner of the car3. There was no recall on the transmission on the same model of car.while i was searching for information on internet got to know that this was a known problem for 2001 honda civics. It was also confirmed by some of the auto service centers.i purchased honda as i had thought it to be a reliable car. I wonder why a brand like honda don't do something to have the issue investigated and help their customer who are facing a common problem with certain models.
2001 honda civic transmission failure around 100,000 miles, sudden without warning, could have caused a crash or left me stranded. I have a 6 month old baby that travels in the car and the sudden failure of the transmission could have been fatal.
I have a 2001 honda civic ex with 62,000 miles.i bought it brand new a little of three years ago.i was driving in rush hour traffic on the freeway when my car without warning malfunctioned and would only rev up.i luckily coasted over to the side of the road (with many people slamming on breaks, honking and nearly missing me).i was right at an entrance to the interstate so while i was waiting for my husband, many people almost smashed into my car.we had the vehicle towed to a honda dealership and was told that we need a new transmission.we have always had all of the fluids checked every time we get an oil change.we also have the documented dates where the fluids were checked.we have a case in with honda so we will see how it goes!!i am leery why so many people have the exact same story.the reason the transmission died was due to lubrication (the exact same problem with all the recalled honda cars).
I am not surprised by the other transmission problem reports.when my '01 civic had about 50,000 miles on it, i noticed that the transmission began to be sluggish - there was a big lag between hitting the throttle and engagement.around this time, the check engine light started to come on, but then it would spontaneously shut off, only to reappear at a later time.as time passed, the light would come on much more often.by the time i took the car in to a honda service location, the power train warranty had expired.the service manager told me that, 90% of the time in this situation, the transmission fails, therefore i should get the repair done asap.however, i was suspicious, so i decided to wait.ii now have over 150,000 miles on the car, and the transmission still lags, the check engine light still comes on and off, but it has never failed.i guess this is more of a performance reduction than failure, but it should have been recalled years ago (before my warranty expired).by the way, i have always had the vehicle serviced for preventable maintenance on time, usually at the honda service location.

My 2001 honda civic with about 76,000 miles was acting up for about a week.it started making a squeaking noise when cold, however once it got warmed up the noise went away.few days ago when i shifted the automatic transmission into reverse, it barely moved.the rpm's would rev up but the vehicle was not going anywhere fast.same happened when shifted in drive.i made it to work, and decided to take it into the shop on the way back in the evening.on the way to the shop the car stopped without much warning.at the time it died i was going over a bridge overpass and did not have any room to pull over.luckily my wife was following me so she slowed down and allowed me to cost down the overpass on to the shoulder.once stopped the check transmission light came on, unfortunately, too little to late.i had the car towed to a dealer who has informed me that the car needs a new transmission.this is a honda, only 5 years old with less than 80k miles.this should not happen to this car.the cost of repair is over $2k.honda is willing to cover half the cost as a good-will gesture, but judging by the amount of complaints about the transmission on 2001 honda civics between 50-80k miles, this should be a recall.i only wonder how many people fork over $3k-$4k and do not report this issue.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving approximately 40 mph the vehicle stopped accelerating but the rpms continued to increase. The vehicle was driven onto the emergency lane and towed to an independent mechanic where she was informed that the transmission failed. The transmission was replaced by anindependent mechanic. The failure and current mileages were 103,000.
I am pretty sure this has come here a couple of times. This has to do with honda early civics mainly 2001 transmissions going out at low miles in highways intersections and just starting up. My car is showing signs of a failing transmission and has fail to shift once before while turning on a traffic filled street. On http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/civic/2002/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml there are people complaining about there cars breaking down by driving on the highway with 40000 miles on there car. I know how dangerous being stopped in the middle of a highway can be with the rise of an accident. This isnt just one or two cars. This is hundreds stopping in highways and intersections and i am waiting to be next on the highway. I can not afford to fix a transmission that has a factory problem. This mostly likely has clause crashes and will clause more. I am afraid to drive my car every time i get into it. I drive in city areas where people don't pay attention and will nail me if my car dies no question. I am just hoping honda will take responsibility and recall faulty transmissions that's will cost someone there life if it hasn't. Thank you for your time and please read what these people have said about there car on this web site. This just is not safe to have dead cars on the road. And my seat belts don't work for the passenger or drive seat without having to slam them in there and pop out a couple of times.
I have the same complaint as #010302, 8014926 & 746038.my car is making a loud buzzing, vibration around the gear shift area when it gets wet underneath.beaverton honda swears it is water boiling off of the catalytic converter, but that wouldn't explain why the noise is louder as you accelerate.i have a young child in the car with me and this noise is distracting you cannot hear anything inside the car when it happens.i have nearly had a wreck when this happens because you are afraid to step on the gas at all.

The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.after starting the vehicle, it began to hesitate and would not shift past second gear or 20 mph.the engine would rev very loudly, but the vehicle would not move.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the transmission needed to be replaced.through online research, she found numerous complaints regarding the same defect.the vehicle has not yet been repaired.the current and failure mileages were 155,000.
Sudden transmission failure on my honda civic ex (2001) on the freeway.was barely able to get car out of traffic lanes during early morning traffic.towed by aaa to mechanic and had to have transmission replaced at cost of $1500. Still have problems with leak of transmission fluid. Transmission failure could have resulted in serious accident.car had only 75,000 miles on it and had regular maintenance at honda dealer.
While driving 40 mph vehicle stalled. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership informed the consumer that the transmission failed. The problem was not resolved.
On 3/21/07 my 2001 honda civic ex with 109k miles displayed on engine light reporting a p0740 torque converter failure.this was diagnosed by willet honda in morrow, ga and two other independent shops.a transmission repair/replacement of $2400 was the recommendation.the car was running fine then and now, 35k miles and two yrs later, the car is still running fine with the engine light on.american honda has offered no help.i cannot pass an emission test with the light on and i am very confident something else is wrong like a sensor.a research of this problem shows it is quite common among civics and other may have paid for unnecessary transmission repairs.
My 2001 honda civic lx lost speed right on the crowded freeway.i managed to get off the freeway and came to the stop. The gear was not engaged and the engine check line lit up.the transmission failed without warning.i now have learned that transmission failure is common on this car model but there is no recall.any thing that nhtsa would do to help us consumers with this issue?
2001 honda civic with reasonable miles has a bad transmission and i am really shocked at hondas reputation. These cars should gp and go. Need a good lawsuit against them because i am not the only one. Please help.
Dt*: the contact stated the transmission locked in the drive gear and would not accelerate. An attempt was made to change gears by turning off the vehicle and restarting it. When the shifter was put into park the indicator was still in drive. The dealer was able to diagnose the problem and informed the contact that the transmissioncontrol module needed to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that the ecm in the vehicle was defective which made it difficult for the vehicle to start. The dealer stated that nhtsa recall campaign id number, 01v329000 engine and engine cooling was related to the failure; yet, his vin was not included. The owner believed that this is a safety issue and the vin should be included in the recall. The current and failure mileages were 114,000.updated 11/03/10. *ljthe consumer was informed that a bulletin had been issue for that same problem he experienced regarding the pcm. However, his vin was not included. Updated 11/04/10
I received a warning light on my instrument panel in may, 2005.i was told by my local mechanic that this was due to my gas cap being loose.tightening the cap did not resolve the problem.when i had the car inspected in june, 2005 it failed due to a "torque converter circuitry" problem.i took it to honda service and was told that the on-board computer had to be reset and that i had to drive it around for 2 weeks and it would clear.it did not and the light was still on.i took it back on september 28, 2005 and was then told that the transmission was in need of replacement because of the electronic controls.the car itself is still drivable and has demonstrated no bumping or noises.honda america has said that it will pay for remanufactured parts if i pay for the labor which will be $500.i have 67,000 miles on the car.the car's transmission should not be failing after 4.5 years and excellent driving habits.the car still cannot pass nj state inspection because of this failure.i am currently waiting for the part to come into the honda service department and they will call me to make an appointment to have the work done.
The shift lock mechanism on the 2001 honda civic will occasional remained locked and not allow me to shift from park into any gear.usually i can get it to free up by depressing the brake pedal several times.once while out late at night, it would not go at all, and i had to put a screwdriver into the emergency release hole to get the car into gear.
Vehicle has unsafe starts when the transmission is cold. When changing gears from park to drive vehicle surges forward. An updated clutch assembly is being installed to correct the problem. However, the dealer wants to charge for the work. Consumeris meeting with the honda representativeon april 30, 2004.after the meeting with the representative the decision was made to trade the vehicle in because the vehicle was not reliable.
Automatic transmission floor shift handle disconnected while shifting from drive to neutral from a parked position. Vehicle at the dealer waiting on the replacement part.
Car jumps out of 2nd gear for no reason at all.i can be just driving along, and all of the sudden i'm in neutral with cars bearing down on me in all directions.honda knows of the problem, according to the dealer, but the part supposedly required to fix it is on national back order.in the mean time, i'm stuck in a car that is liable to make me a sitting duck while i try to get it back into gear.honda shows no interest in getting me out of the car until it can be repaired.
Transmission would periodically stop shiftinginto third and fourth gears. Vehicle would not move at a speed faster than 40 mph. Dealer has advised consumerthat transmission could not repaired, but must be replaced. Vehicle has been taken todealer on three different occasions.another dealer determined torqe convertor as a cause and replaced it.there was no transmission problem since then.
2001 honda civic, complete transmission failure while driving.transmission slipped while driving up hills and then completely failed while driving in the middle of the street.nothing was done by honda, but i had to have the entire transmission replaced for a total cost of 2,400.but according the honda this is the only possible fix for the problem, an entire replacement of the transmission.
Car engine shudders and feels like it wants to stall.sometimes feels like it stays locked in a gear.diagnostic check shows "torque converter clutch" problem. According to multiple websites many, many people have this problem.some have engine failure while driving.is honda doing anything to help us with this dangerous problem?this is not a rare problem.it seems quite common for 2001 civics.this definitely discourages me from buying another honda.everyone says honda's are built to last, well not anymore.please help.
Check engine light came on with a code of p0740.had car checked and told nothing was wrong, reset light.mil came on again and took car to brown's honda in glen burnie.charged me another $90 to tell me the light had the same code p0740 and they changed the transmission fluid.they said not sure if it is fixed.if light comes back on brown's honda said i would either have to replace the torque converter or the transmission, they are not sure.car drives fine but brown's honda can't tell me if there seems to be a problem with the torque converter or transmission.they told me to wait and see if the light comes back on.asked brown's if they have seen torque converter failures in 2001 civics.chris responded rudely "do you know how many honda civics are out there".i repeated my questions and was told "yes" she has seen torque converter failures on the 2001 honda civics.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.while driving approximately 65 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle lost torque power and would not move forward.the contact had to shut off the vehicle momentarily and then restart it in order for it to move forward at a slow pace.the vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle as having torque converter failure.there are no recalls for this failure.the current mileage was 72,000 and failure mileage was 71,000.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that the transmission suddenly failed by shifting from first to second gear and then slipping from second to third gear. The rpms increased by the vehicle did not move forward. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who stated that the torque converter was the cause of the failure and was a widespread problem. The current and failure mileages were approximately 125,000.
My 2001 honda civic lx started to rev on a cold day when it tried to go into gear at 30 mi/hr. It happened in the same spot for three mornings in a row, but no other time (yet). Then on the 4th day, it was happening going into 1st and 2nd. I checked the tranny fluid and it was full. I was trying to be gentle with shifting...releasing the gas when the car tried to shift. That worked for the day. On my way home from visiting my mother, i stopped at the local honda dealer. I told them the tranny was slipping. They ran a diagnostic test, charged me $105 and told me the tranny was slipping (i told them i already knew that!). They wrote on the paper that the car was drivable but the tranny would need to be replaced in the future at a tune of $2,600+tax. Well...on the way home from that honda dealer, the tranny failed. I got stuck on the side of the road.
Transmission failure of the civic lx 2001.
Transmission went out before 90,000 miles on honda civic. Repaired through aamco for over $2200.00 no warning. Vehicle just would not go over 20 mph. Saw on internet honda had known problems with civics in 2001 model year.
Car has been nothing but problems since purchased in march 2001. Brakes have been replaced 2 times for vibration problems again 4000 miles later brakes are bad.tires worn to unsafe tread depth w/ 2500 miles.front struts both blown, told by dealer that they were on national back-order??? as to when they will be available.driver seat rocks, dealer fixed once saying a shim was broke, again 8000 miles later driver seat rocks again.paint on car has many small rust spots.clutch must have flat spots on it, as when i release clutch to start moving there is a jumping sensation able to be felt by driver.again car has been nothing but problems.
Clutch pedal squeaks when depressed.
The transmission on my 2001 honda civic, failed without warning. Luckily i was in my driveway and not returning from canada on the freeway at 70 mph as i had been a few days before. Had i lost all power in that situation, as i did in my driveway, the results could have been catastrophic, possibly fatal; for me and other drivers. I now, having researched online a bit,understand that this is a well known problem with this car. It's disgraceful that it has not been treated as a safety issue.my car has 67,000 miles on it.
Dt: the contact stated vehiclestalled intermittently whenthe vehicle was placed in neutral. Whenitstalled the vehicle lost power steering and power brakes.this could have resulted in an accident. The dealership and the manufacturer have been contacted.technical service bulletin 02-083was issued for the problem but the dealerrequested a diagnostic test at the contact'sexpense before they would use the technical service bulletin to fix the problem .updated 1/11/2006.this problem occurred mostly at low altitudes in the summer with the a/c on.the consumer believes the loss of power steering and brakes when in neutral in dangerous and he thinks the vehicle should be recalled.
There were no warning signs. The beginning of june i was driving and the car stalled in the middle of the street. The check engine light did not come on until the next day. I contacted the dealer (honda international) west roxbury,ma and i was told that my transmission was only covered under the basic 3yr warranty.i am no longer covered under the 3 yr. Warranty because i am over the mileage. Nothing has been done so far to correct the problem. I took my car to two mechanics and i was told that my transmission should be covered longer than 3 yrs and my transmission should be good up until at least 150,000. Before needing service if required.
I complained in oct, 2007, about our 2001 honda civic having transmission failure at 100,000 miles.we paid $2,598.34 to have a rebuilttrans installed.much to our surprise, the same thing has happened in january, 2009, 1 year and 3 months later.in both cases, the car came to a an unexpected standstill on a highway which we considered very dangerous.of course the honda place won't stand behind it.what are we to do?keep replacing transmissions?we believe that the transmissions for honda civic 2001 are all dangerous.we ask that you look into this please.we can barely afford to stay on top of our budget now, much less to afford another transmission.we are just lucky that traffic was light on the roads both times; otherwise it would have been more dangerous.please help us to figure out what to do.pauline and robert alley
My 2001 honda civic has only 68,000 miles on it.i drive conservatively and perform regular maintenance.the car's transmission suddenly died completely on a major road in traffic.it was towed to a repair facility that diagnosed the problem.honda denies there is a problem with 2001 civic transmissions but i have seen other evidence that this is a widespread problem.it is very dangerous.
Over the last four years, the manual transmission has repeatedly disengaged, popping out of gear during operation.the transmission has been repeatedly serviced, but problems continually recur. Recurring symptoms:popping out of gear into neutral,sticking when trying to put it into gear, squeaking during shift, and squeaking clutch pedal.
Transmission is not working properly, when going up a hill vehicle does not have enough power it will go into reverse, consumer consumer to loose control of vehicle.*jg
5th gear pops out first the shifter started moving it would move out when i depressed the gas and back in when i released the gas pedal. Now it won't stay in 5th gear on its own it will if you hold the shifter in place. In 05 they replaced components of my gear shift for 2nd & 5th gear because they were popping out this issue started last year and when i asked about it they said it was probably the tranny so i replaced it last august now it won't stay in gear again there are several tsb's on this but none reporting after the repair of the problem continuing the rest of the gears are solid.
Just recently, my 2001 honda civic was having a problem while driving. When i was in 5th gear driving down the highway, the shifter would "pop" out of 5th and go into neutral. I thought that i didn't have it all the way into 5th gear, so i pushed it back into 5th and continued to drive. Just a few minutes later, it happened again, and again, and again. I had to hold it in 5th gear for 2 hours while driving down the road.when i got home i did some research and found out exactly what it was. It was the synchronizer in my transmission that was the cause of the problem.i found out that the only way to fix the problem was to have the transmission rebuilt.this is a very pricey task, and way out of my price range. My car just hit 69,000 miles just a day ago.according to everyone i've spoken with, the transmission should not have problems with a car this old and with this many miles on it.
2001 honda civic manual transmission pops out of gear.reference # 10142255. Suddenly driver is in neutral with no control of vehicle. Being evaluated by car repair shop. Possible significant expense to fix.
On, october 10, 2003 i took my honda civic 2001 to an outside vendor (firestone tire & service centers) where they did a computerized engine analysis but they found nothing wrong and the problem still continued. So, on november 14, 2003 i took my vehicle for my 5000-mile max service.i explain to the service representative that my car will not start at times and when it started it felt like it was going to cut off.so the service department did a courtesy inspection.but they found nothing wrong and the problem continued for a couple of weeks.i thought my problems were over until september 11, 2003 when my car started racing for no reason.then i tried to turn into mcdonalds and my car wouldn't move.so my friend and a strange pushed my car into the parking lot. Then i called aaa to tow my car to my apartment building.the next morning i towed my car to west broad honda.later that morning a representative for west broad honda stated my transmission need to be replaced.(my car only had 65,000 miles).

I drive a 2001 honda civic lx with manual transmission. One day i was standing at alight waiting to take a left turn. As the light changed and the traffic started to move, i sped up and shifted to 2nd gear.as i entered the intersection,suddenly the gear slipped and shifted into neutral.and the car did not move under acceleration. I quickly shifted back into first and sped away. I have since found that this is a frequently occuring problem. I am very careful when i am at an intersection or trying to merge into traffic on a highway from an entry ramp.i found that this is because of a malfuction in the transmission and the bushes to the manual transmission cable. Honda has issued a service bulletin about this problem. But i think this is a serious hazard because the problem occurs when you are at low speeds in second gear and trying to accelerate.causes problems at intersections, yield signs and exit ramps.highway on ramps is a place to consistently duplicate the problem as you try to merge into traffic. I checked with other owners of manual transmissions. An acquaintance who bought the car in the same quarter also reports the same problem.please contact me for more info about service bulletin
Srs light remains on possibly to the defective seat belt sensor as others have complained about.presently i need to replace front struts $800 - normal wear and tear for a car with 95000 miles on it. Ihate the new honda civic - i have no idea what they were thinking when they designed it so i decided to keep mine and have the normal stuff fixed.but - this is something that i am not the only one complaining about. Let's get the srs light covered under a recall.
My airbag was replaced last year. And now it will not pass mandatory state inspectionsdue to a abs light that will not go off. I've had many people try and figure it out? yet the air bag has something to do with it. I need this fixed immediately the state of virginia will not pass the air bag light being on unknown..
At times when attempting to buckle the seat belt, the buckle will come undone. Thus, causing the belt to unfasten.
I have a 2001 honda civic ex with 80k.the srs light remains on.diagnosed twice by independent dealerships as srs faulty.this should be a lifetime guaranty from defects.about $600 to replace.i have not as yet replaced the unit.
2001 honda civic sisrs light came on, after speaking with a few honda owners with same problem they all said there was caused by a faulty driver side belt buckle, also after researching on the internet noticed alot of complaints about same problem with srs and faulty buckle , went on to contact honda who also told me yes 99 % of the time the srs light comes on that specific car it is a faulty buckle,and this problem deactivates the airbag so if there's an accident the airbags wont deploy so if there's that many defected buckles for 2001 civic si shouldn't they considera recall?
Noticed that the srs light was on when i started up my car. I took it to the garage to be diagnosed and was told that it was the seat belt on th drivers side and the part was ordered and fixed. Cost was $540.00 . The car only has 52,000 kg and one driver and has been serviced as recommended.
Seat belt in rear of vehical twisted on passenger when trying to release and tightened aroundpassenger's neck causing injuries.
Takata recallvehicle: honda civic lx 2001. I had previously responded to 2 recall notices and had airbags inspected by the oakland, ca honda dealership. On one occasion unknown part had been replaced. In a collision, as i was proceeding straight ahead at 30 mph on an oakland city street, an oncoming suv, proceeding through red light, traveling est. 30 mph, struck the right front wheel of my vehicle. The airbag did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock. My chest consequently hit the steering wheel resulting in a sternal fracture, requiring 48-hour hospitalization and est. 14 days of pain medication. Further information available.
The srs light came on and stayed on while driving, which per the owner manual indicated a failure in the air bag and seat belts. If the vehicle was in an accident these componentswill not function.dealership will be contacted.
My son was critically injured in an accident in 2014 with this vehicle.he was on a country road and missed a sharp curve entering a field. The airbag did not deploy, the seatbelt did not hold and the seat back collapsed. He was ejected from the vehicle.this vehicle was totaled as a result of this accident and i have notified honda multiple times.i still receive recall notifications.
For years i have had problems with my front driver's side safety belt latch.i have to push it in several times before it latches.some times i think it latches but then a few miles down the road the latch lets go and my safety belt recoils across my lap.the safety belt only latches properly approximately 1 out of 10 times; therefore, i'm dealing with this problem almost everyday i drive the car.nothing has been done to correct the problem, the dealership told me since the car is out of warranty it would be at my cost to fix the problem.expected cost to replace the belt latch is over $250.
Seat belts are very difficult to fasten. It takes several quick jabs with the belt into the receiver to get belt to lock in place so belt is engaged. Otherwise belt cannot be wornvehicle was stationary,this all started as soon as i received ownership of vehicle in about 2007.
I have a 2001 honda civic lx that i just got back from the dealer in the spring of 2014 after fixing a recall on the air bag system. I now have an issue with the seat belt not latching in cold conditions and when this happens i get an srs light on the dash which makes the safety restraint system inoperable meaning if there would be a crash the safety system would not function and air bags would not deploy. There seems to be widespread talk of this same problem on many other honda civics in the online forums i looked at. If the air bag system was worthy of a recall wouldn't malfunctioning seat belts be just as equally as important safety issue. I looked at honda's corporate site under safety and they state "safety is our priority" i just talked with honda customer service and they told me that i would have to go to the dealer and pay the $100.00 dollar diagnostic fee and also pay for the repair on top of that. That doesn't sound like the company that says safety is our priority to me. I have never had issues with seatbelt latching on any other brand of vehicle i have ever owned and i think honda needs to be held accountable to their own statements on the safety of their vehicles.
Srs light stays on in car. Getting car looked at next saturday because that was the soonest i could get in, but after reading numerous internet posts, as well as formal complaints here, i am concerned that this may be expensive to fix.i drive thirty miles to work each day on busy highways, and am petrified that if i get into an accident, that my seatbelt or airbags may not work.this really needs to be investigated, and a recall issued. I will not know until next week how much this is going to cost, but as far as i am concerned, it should be free.i, and many others like myself, paid a lot of money for a vehicle that is generally applauded for it's longevity and safety, and i feel that we all deserve better than this.if i wanted a vehicle without seatbelts and airbags, that's what i would have purchased.
Srs light came on in july 2010, i took it in to my local mechanic to take a look.the computer code said it was a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly so they ordered the part and replaced it. A few weeks later the srs light came back on.i took it back to my mechanic and they said it was likely the whole srs unit that is bad because they could not get the computer code to clear.the mechanic suggested i take it to the honda dealer to get it fixed since it is a safety issue and should be covered under warranty.i took it to a honda dealer but was told it would not be covered under warranty, regardless of the issue.i contacted honda america corp and they explained that only the seatbelts are covered under an extended warranty and that the supplemental restraint system is not covered, as it is an additional safety feature.i have no working airbags now and honda will not fix this, despite there being recalls for the same issue on other 2001 civics
The srs light on my dashboard of honda civic 2001 stays on. Upon working with an authorized dealer, the diagnosis of this error is "left front seatbelt buckle switch failure" (code 09-3).i was verbally told that this means in event of a crash the airbags would not deploy.i cursory search of internet forums suggests my case is not an isolated incident.when i requested the dealership and subsequently honda motor co to resolve this issue, which has to be considered safety related, i was told it is not covered under warranty. Given the potential of airbag non deployment, i would request urgent attention in this matter.
Takata air bag it was stationary seatbelt was defected
Srs warning light (supplemental restraint system) stays on.problem started at 9400 miles while under warranty, car now has 55,000 miles.
My horn stopped working and my srs light came on about a year and a half ago.the dealer originally told me it had to do with the wiring... Costing me $300 which i could not afford to repair.i took the car in for the air bag recall and now they are saying the srs light is on because of a defect in the seat belt buckle ($200)- but why would that make my horn stop working?there are a lot of complaints and this needs to be recalled as this is incredibly unsafe and obviously widespread!!! honda also needs to recall the transmission problems.i had fought them and they paid for half of the repair costs when my transmission dangerously and quickly went out in the middle of traffic during rush hour about three years ago.these are major safety issues!! unfortunately i cannot afford the repairs but i am scared to drive the car with the srs light on. I bought this car because of the supposed reliability and cheap maintenance.it is ridiculous that honda is not taking car of the srs light problem and transmission problem!!!
While driving and when it parked it smelling fuel it comes near from filler neck,i thought it were the fuel cap but nothing change after replaced for a new cap (no codes and no check engine lights on )and driver seat belt sometimes it stucks and buckle won't clicks easily (2 times while drivingseatbelt unclip by it self) i checked my vin number for any recalls but i didn't find any recalls for this vehicle.
2001 honda civic lx drivers seat belt fastener, that is mounted to the side of the seat and the floor of the vehicle will not immediately attach.*mwthe consumer stated he had to hit the latch plate with his fist, into the fastener opening or the buckle several times to get it to hold onto or to permanently attach.
Since 2016 i've been having problems with the brakes. We fixed them and the problem came back. When i press the brake pedal at times it does not work. My mechanic said that behind the brakes, there is a hose that needs to be purged, but every time they try to do that, it does not work. There is no flexibility on the hose. We've attempted fixing this several times and it works for a day and then the next day it does not work.please let us know if there is a way we can fix this. I'm afraid this issues has endangered my life several times. I cannot drive it anymore, but i only have this car. The latest issue was today. After having it at the shop for over a week, i was driving my car out of the my drive way and the brake would not work. I've parked it outside my home.thank you,
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. She stated that the supplemental restraint system (srs) sensor light illuminated on the instrument panel.

I bought this vehicle and then found out there are $3000 minimum issues with the vehicle. Including replacing the transmission because of the defective torque converter, the airbags aren't working properly, the rear window won't roll down. Also, the evaporation sensor and canister need to be replaced and i cannot find the right part to replace it. The srs light is on because of the seatbelt issue, the check engine light is on because of the transmission problem from the torque converter and the cruise control doesn't work even though the lights say that it is engaging.
"takata recall" i totalled my car because the steering locked while i was driving. I lost control and flipped it. I was stuck in the seat belt because it would not release. I have airbag dermatitis from the airbag chemicals.

I own a 2001 honda civic.at 45,000 miles the safety restraint system light came on.since it was a safety issue honda should be responsible for investigating and repairing the defect.however, honda disputed this.if the airbag didn't deploy or seat belts didn't work serious injury could be incurred.
We have had two honda civics now. The first was a 96 that the srs light came on. It was estimated at $900. To repair and it would not pass virginia state inspection till it did. We got another car but just before that we bought a 2001 civic for the daughter to drive to and from college. Shortly after buying the srs light came on. After much research it seems or two was not a fluke.the internet is is loaded with complaints from owners who have the same problem and dealers fleecing the public with repairs. Basically if your driving around with the light on you don't know if your air bags will deploy. If you try to get it fixed, it's a huge bill. How can honda and the government blatantley disregard this serious safety defect and pass the responsibility onto the consumer? this is crazy. I recommend you take a look at google for" honda srs light" and review the chatter. Then look at all the work around folks are using meanwhile disregarding safety of passengers. Honda needs to fix this obvious problem regarding the safety of the people driving their products.
The problem is not a failure.the problem is that rear seatbelts are not long enough to go around my wife or myself when wearing a winter coat. We contacted honda to see if they could provide a seatbelt extender. They said that they do not provide or recommend the use of seatbelt extenders. We had seatbelt extenders fora previously owned volvo that had front seatbelts that did not go around my wife.the didnot go around my wife because my wife is 5 feet 2inches tall and she had to keep the front seat forward.while volvo also did not recommend the use of seatbelt extenders, they provided them as they were better than using no seatbelt. We would argue that a longer seatbelt or seatbelt extenders are a safer alternative to not using seatbelts.we also belive that it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide a seatbelt or extenders that would make the car safe.however, a reasonable cost to make the back seatbelts more usable would not be objectionable.
Driver seat rocks back and forth under normal use. I've now had this repaired twice, once at about 10,000 miles and again at about 20,000 miles. The second time, a note was on the receipt noting a service bulletin but not what it said. Both times, paperworks says bushings were replaced. Not very happy with the idea of owning a car that has driver seat bushings requiring replacement every 10,000 miles after the warranty runs out. I notice this problem noted in service bulletin 01057 of this site.
Dt*: the contact stated the driver seat rocked back and forth and was not stable.the service dealer stated the brackets and bearings needed to be replaced and were faulty.
Car has been nothing but problems since purchased in march 2001. Brakes have been replaced 2 times for vibration problems again 4000 miles later brakes are bad.tires worn to unsafe tread depth w/ 2500 miles.front struts both blown, told by dealer that they were on national back-order??? as to when they will be available.driver seat rocks, dealer fixed once saying a shim was broke, again 8000 miles later driver seat rocks again.paint on car has many small rust spots.clutch must have flat spots on it, as when i release clutch to start moving there is a jumping sensation able to be felt by driver.again car has been nothing but problems.

My son was critically injured in an accident in 2014 with this vehicle.he was on a country road and missed a sharp curve entering a field. The airbag did not deploy, the seatbelt did not hold and the seat back collapsed. He was ejected from the vehicle.this vehicle was totaled as a result of this accident and i have notified honda multiple times.i still receive recall notifications.
Driver seat feels off track, wonā€™t catch onto bracket when adjusting seat.
The was just park and when i put the ignition key on the steering wheel and key ignition didn't want to start
On april 8 2015 while i was driving to my house, i saw smoke coming out of the dashboard so i had to desperately stop the car i run. My car was call for recall andi when to honda services in hillside, new jerseywhere they told methat they had to fix something from the air bag in the dash boardthey told me they have to order some parts and they will call me to comeback so i waiedt for one month and two month and they never call me i called to find out about those parts and i was told the same thing, that they are going to call me i believe my car was total destroy in fire because they did not fix my car on time.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while at a stop light, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The passenger's side air bag was the only air bag to deploy. The contact also stated that the driver's side seat adjusters became fractured during the crash, which caused the seat to fall in reverse.a police report was filed and the driver sustained internal bruising from the steering wheel. The driver also sustained a herniated and bulging disc in the neck, which required medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
I have had my drivers side seat track replaced at least 5 times since i have owned the car. I have also have had both front struts replaced, both front springs, rear speaker, rear bumper repainted. I am trying to get rid of the car under the nj lemon law. To this day i have not been satisfied. This has been going on for more than a year.
I am the original buyer of honda civic 2001 4dr and srs light goeson frequently. As long as the car was under warranty dealer used to fix it without any charge. Last time in 2004 i got it fixed by the dealer. At that time car was out of warranty, but as the problem existed before the expiration of warranty they fixed it.srs light problem reappeared in march 2007 , and when i took the car to the dealer, he said that problem was not the same. He stated that somethingwas wrong in seat back sensor. Dealer is aware of the recall on srs from honda...and now he is not willing to help me. I never had any accident.there is some inherent problem with srs in this car. Dealer wants me to pay $600 to fix it.this the 6th time srs light is on.
While driving in traffic the brake line blew while stopping for a red light. A panic maneuver was made and accident was avoided. A replacement line was installed and while again driving in traffic a car pulled out in front of me and while applying the brakes, another line blew. This time i had to dive into the shoulder and apply the e-brake.
Brake failure
Since 2016 i've been having problems with the brakes. We fixed them and the problem came back. When i press the brake pedal at times it does not work. My mechanic said that behind the brakes, there is a hose that needs to be purged, but every time they try to do that, it does not work. There is no flexibility on the hose. We've attempted fixing this several times and it works for a day and then the next day it does not work.please let us know if there is a way we can fix this. I'm afraid this issues has endangered my life several times. I cannot drive it anymore, but i only have this car. The latest issue was today. After having it at the shop for over a week, i was driving my car out of the my drive way and the brake would not work. I've parked it outside my home.thank you,
Takata recall, the srs light signal is on the whole time whenever the car is moving, it wont go away. And the car breaks isnt breaking fast when brake pads are being press down all the way instead it breaks slow to stop. Also hood needs to be slam hard in order to close.
While driving 50 mph consumer heard a noise coming from the vehicle.consumermaintained control of the vehicle, and was able to pull over.consumer noticed that the clutch for the air brake was gone.
When driving, gentle pressure is applied to pedal, but full force is applied by braking system, abs engages and causes vehicle to stop suddenly. Could have caused accident.
While driving the vehicle and the air conditioner is on.consumer had an experience whenapplied the brake, thepedalgoes half to the floor resulting in extended stopping. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts
My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.
Car has been nothing but problems since purchased in march 2001. Brakes have been replaced 2 times for vibration problems again 4000 miles later brakes are bad.tires worn to unsafe tread depth w/ 2500 miles.front struts both blown, told by dealer that they were on national back-order??? as to when they will be available.driver seat rocks, dealer fixed once saying a shim was broke, again 8000 miles later driver seat rocks again.paint on car has many small rust spots.clutch must have flat spots on it, as when i release clutch to start moving there is a jumping sensation able to be felt by driver.again car has been nothing but problems.
On 5/29/2003 the driver applied pressure to the brake pedal and the car would not stop.the same problem occurred last year which resulted in an accident.
I purchased a 2001 honda civic coupe ex, in november 2000.it has been nothing but problems ever since.ive been to two different honda service centers almost 20 times now.the car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes.the car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted.then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of honda, after they assured me that my car was fine.this has been an ongoing problem with honda.they fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing.the car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, honda finds nothing.the windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, honda finds nothing.all four tires are leaking, honda at first find nothing wrong, now say i have to replace tires.the driver's seat is loose and rocking, honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, honda finds nothing wrong.seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety.now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny.i think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost.im very concerned for my safety at this point.i even reached out to honda consumer affairs in california, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while i had the rental, to report the rental stolen because i asked if i could hold the rental until honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by honda that day as well)i am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten.there are numerous other problems i didn't list here, too many to list.i would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you. *nlm
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic purchased brand new in 2001. She stated that the srs airbag light continued to illuminate on the warning panel. She received a recall letter pertaining to the failure. The dealer stated that the vehicle would be repaired in 5 days. She requested a rental vehicle at no cost; however, the manufacturer denied the request. The brakes had been replaced over four times in a period of 4 years which resulted in the struts being damaged. The transmission was replaced twice. The fuel pump, air conditioning system, alternator have also been repaired andthe power locks were inoperable. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 128,000.
I have an ongoing issue with a popping noise coming from the front brakes. After going in reverse, and then proceeding forward, at the first application of brakes there is a popping noise that sounds like metal shifting or binding. It will not make the noise again until the next occurrence of going into reverse and then coming to the first stop.after being taken to the dealer, the noise will diminsh for a day or two, and then resume as normal.the dealer indicated that they are not adjusting anything on the brakes.the dealer also indicated that there was a change in the design of the brakes for the 2001 model year that causes this noise.it sounds bad, and i'm afraid it will lead to a brake component failing.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving approximately 35 mph, the brakes failed and the vehicle crashed and flipped over. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle was severely damaged, but the air bags did not deploy. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed.

I put 24,000 miles on the car a year and use my cruise control 90% of the time. They blamed people who rotate the tires for tightening the lug nuts too tight... I have never rotated my tires so that is nill.then they asked if the car is parked near a sprinkler because if the rotors get wet they will rust.they are blaming anything they can so they dont have to pay.well.. The lemon law is on my side and they will pay.this is my 5th brand new honda and will be my last.atleast kia stands by their vehicles.
Problems with brake equipment on 2001 honda civi lx.*mrthe consumer complained to the dealer about the brakes grabbing.the technician determined that he vehicle needed a rear wheel cylinder because it was leaking.both rear wheel cylinder's were replaced.eight months later the vehcile was still exhibiting brake problems.this time the dealer replaced the master cylinder. For several months after tese repaires the vehicle continued to have brake problems.the consumer is concerned because the vehicle has 2000 mile left under the warrany.

While driving, when attempting to stop the vehicle, andupon depressingbrake pedal vehicle failed to stop, causing extended stopping distance.the cause of the problem has yet to be determined. Consumer has made contact with dealer.
I purchased this car used 3 months ago, had a certified mechanic inspect it and do all that was necessary to make it road worthy and safe. New timing belt, head gasket, brakes, engine mounts, bushings, tires, ac compressor, belts, etc. Etc. So after spending over $2500.00 in repairs i thought i had a perfectly running safe vehicle. And it did run beautifully until 2 days ago when driving home from work at around 45 mph without any sign or indication of trouble i heard a loud clunk from under the car and began to lose power. Luckily, with all the traffic around i was able to pull over to the shoulder of the road and found transmission fluid poring out from below. I had aaa tow the car to a reliable shop and was told i need a new transmission. Rough estimate for the repair $2000. - $2600.needless to say i was shocked and angry. And now i find out that i'm not alone. There are hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of complaints about the transmission failure of the 2001 honda civic. Honda has known about this design flaw for years and must be held accountable for leaving it's customers in danger with a faulty transmission..
Brakes never worked right, felt like not stopping quick enough, had replaced 3 or 4 times since 2001, but to this day, when stopping suddenly with brake pedal fully to floor, car doesn't want to stop & is scary. Was rear ended,radio & speakers quit working,replaced & alarm quit working, had to have it completely removed & had damaged fly wheel. Alarm malfunction was causing car to run in "safe mode" and car was using too much gas. The gas indicator is not accurate, and slow to adjust to empty or full levels, even when in perfect weather. Even now i am certain that i do not get good gas mileage in city or highway driving & feel this car is vastly overrated in every way! srs indicator light is always on for 3 years now, red in color, i never knew this was a problem before reading bulletins ( but do now). Right front window was slow to roll down for months, then wouldn't roll up in cold weather, and now won't work at all regardless of weather conditions. Is stuck, and where i thought it might be a simple fuse issue, now we're finding out it will be a $600 window motor issue. Not a very happy honda customer right now. Ironically, i bought this civic because of a prior positive experience owning a honda crx, which was wonderful. This honda civic 2001 has changed the way i view honda's in general, unfortunately.
When consumer shifted the gears, theengine surged and vehiclesuddenly accelerated, resulting in a collision,consumer applied brakes hard, but car would not stop.related recall 01v329000, consumer's v.i.n. Not included. Tsupon impact the air bags did not deploy.it is also noted that the technican experienced the same condition when entering the vehicle to be serviced. It was determined that the transmission was faulty. Consumer sustained minor injuries and there was front end damage....
I was driving home, back country roads, when suddenly my vehicle revved up to over 5000rpm while making a very slow turn.i brake, it stopped revving up, but when i started again it shuddered and then completely stopped moving.i could not go in any gear, i tried waiting a while, car runs fine but won't move.sat by the side of the road waiting for a tow, have now been told the transmission failed and needs replaced.of course, this will cost almost the value of the care, but that's not my main concern.while this did not cause me physical harm, i was planning on leaving for baltimore within the hour.had this car waited 50 more miles to give out i would have been traveling at a high rate of speed on 695s along with many other friday night commuters and could have easily caused a major accident and who knows how many people could have been killed, myself included?this car simply stopped moving within 1 minute - no lights on the dash, no prior notice of anything wrong.i keep this car maintained per the manual and was planning on keeping it for several more years.i have now found that this has been a well known issue for honda for many years and still nothing is being done.there are so many complaints by so many consumers i can hardly believe there has not been a recall on this. How many does it take?how many will need to die in accidents caused by this before something is done?
While driving 65 mph driver applied brakes and they locked up, causing the driver to skid and rear end another vehicle.upon impact,airbags did not deploy.driver sustained back and neck injuries,and was transported by ambulanceto hospital.also,vehicle was totaled.
While travelling on the highway, i needed to brake for the car ahead of me.as i pressed the brake pedal and began to brake, the pedal started to pulse and the front end to shake.the brakes completed locked up and began smoking horribly.you could not drive the vehicle because the braking system was engaged without any pressure being placed upon the pedal.the car had to be towed, it was not driveable.honda fixed it stating it was an abs hydraulic problem.less than two weeks later the same event occurred with the braking system.brakes completed locked and were smoking.vehicle again was not driveable.honda service stated that they had never seen anything like this problem.they said that they were not really sure what the problem was that was causing the brake system to fail.they would replace the master cylinder to see if this would resolve the problem.quite frankly, i'm not sure that i want to trust anything with the cars' current braking system.i have been very lucky twice, myself or someone else may not be so lucky a third time.
Brakes failed. Dealer notified. Partswere not available.
The brakes were making a rumbling sound.the car would also shake real bad at times while driving on the freeway, however i didn't realize it was the brakes at this time.i took the car to cush honda.they said the rotors and brake pads had hot spots.they machined the rotors and replaced the brake pads.i got the car back andi began having problems when i started to drive the car.it wouldn't seem to accelerate.it was a while before i couldn't get the car to move hardly at all, so i slammed on the brakes and it was then i realized it was the brakes locking up.the car was still shaking real bad at times on the freeway, but i still didn't realize it was the brakes because if i slowed down it would quit shaking.my husband then took the car to tipton honda in el cajon, ca.he told them what cush had done and that the brakes had gotten worse.tipton felt the left front caliper was sticking.they replaced the caliper and also replaced the front brake pads, which cush had just replaced two months earlier, because they were burnt again.i got the car back and it immediatly started to lock up again.i returned it to tipton that next monday.they had the car several days and finally called to tell us that the brake fluid was contaminated.the dealer did not know what it was contaminated with, he determined that it was contaminated because the diaphram in the fluid reservoir was swollen so badthey couldn't get it backin.the honda corp.refused to repair the car because tipton said the brake fluid was contaminated.this car has never been to any service center but these two and i have never lent out my car to anyone so i know that if the fluid is contaminated, it is from a defective brake system or it was contaminated while one of these two honda dealers worked on it.if it was contaminated by one of these two dealers, then the brake system was defective anyway.i have not driven this car since i got it back in february. I have talked to an attor

The brakes would squeak when the pedal was depressed. Consumer thought that the pads needed to be replaced. Upon inspection of the brakes and pads by the dealership, they noticed that the calipers had locked up which caused premature wear of the brake pad and uneven wear of the right front tire.the cause of the caliper locking up has not been determined.
Consumer was informed the front brake caliper was leaking. Mrthe dealer tightened a loose bolt.
Consumert states while driving had extened stopping.dealer notified said pads wore down.nlm
Consumer states he was told by a mechanic that his brakes are not fitting tight to the caliber, which causes his brakes to make a noise in shafting before it can make a stop. He was also told that there is no fix for it. Tsit has been advised that when the vehicle is cold the front brake pads become loose causing the brake pads to shift/noisy while coming to a stop.
Lt front brake has knock noise coming from it when either backing or going foward. This is intermittent. Both honda corp. And dealership says this is normal noise and quite a few of these 2001 honda civic's have this problem. They say it is due to the fact that after some disc pad wear the clearance between the caliper piston and the pad is increased so that is where the noise is coming from. I am worried about binding of the pad or the pad cracking due to the constant hammer of the piston into the disc brake pad. Please look into this as i feel this is a time bomb waiting to go off. Thank you.
Dt:the caller stated that rust has built up on the front rotors and she had to have it removed.there was a noise when turning at slow speeds.the dealer said they would look at it andremove the rust. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.

2001 honda civic consumers foot got caught up between the brake pedal and the accelerator when trying to come to a stop.*mrthe consumer believed the brake and gas pedal were designed too close together.
While driving about 25 mph up a hill moved foot from brakes pedal to accelerator and vehicle will roll backward.sometimes could be uncontrolable.please provide more information.
1) no accident yet, but frequently the side of my right foot hits the accelerator while putting the brakes on; part of my large foot is on the brake - part lands on the accelerator. (i am 6' 1" tall). Dealer has said there is nothing that can be done about it.i do feel this represents a hazard to my car and occupants, as well as to others.my only solution is to get rid of the car to a short person.(the required date below is invalid and irrelevant.)
When i first get in the car and pull it out of the garage.when i'm backing up the brakes are fine.when i start out and if i need to brake , i.e. At the end of the alley, i must push with all my might to stop the car. I go again for a short distance and tryto stop and it does it again.i have to do this for about 3 to 4 times before they begin to work properly.the car is at the dealership now and they tell me they can't find the problem although it does that for them too. They also tried a other 2001 models of the civuc and the same thing happens.this i believe is a safety issue and they need to fix the problem, whatever it takes.they say that if they allow the car to warm for 5 minutes it's o.k.i already knew that as after i pushed on the brakes 3 or 4 times then they were o.k.i also advised them today that i would not accept the car back until they found the problem.i also told them it didn't happen in the first two weeks i had the car. I'm just lucky i wasn't going into traffic and on snow and ice.i feel that i should be able to get into my car and drive knowing my brakes will work properly.
Steering: i was on the freeway northbound in slow lane, the vehicle was pulling heavy to the right. I remember going into a fishtail then to the right which was grassy and dirt . Slamming sideways up against a wall or fence ending up drivers side.my car was towed to performance towing in santa rosa,ca. I was unable to get it back, i was unable to pay for towing charges. Performance towing place a lien sale on it. Now i'm without a car in debt.
My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.
Wind noise can be heard inside the vehicle, the dealer resealed the windshield molding, noise while braking, faulty ecm fuse caused the vehicle to stall while stopped, rattle in dash, dealer replaced the felt tape between the air ducts and vents, cd player skips and was replaced, faulty front spring caused noise in the front end, both left doors leak, the drivers seat is loose at the track, a ripped seal caused the sunroof to leak, steering wheel not centered.

I had never had any problem like this with my car before this incident. I was driving by myself on a state highway just after dawn, at approximately 45 miles per hour, approaching a curve to the right. I had just executed a curve to the left andwas straightening the wheel when the steering froze, and i was unable to straighten the wheel. Going off the road to the right, i bounced from side to side while crashing into a ditch. Two cars immediately stopped, i unfastened my seatbelt, took my keys out of the ignition, and turned everything off. Then the drivers helped me out through the driver's side window. Later when the tow truck arrived, the driver told me to steer the vehicle as he pulled it up out of the ditch toward his truck. I told him it was frozen, and i would not be able to steer it. However, when i turned the engine on, the steering column was no longer locked. I do not know why it froze. I do not know if the engine stopped running, but i don't think so because i remember turning the key off right away because of fear of fire. I did not go to the hospital but called my chiropractor and began treatment that afternoon.
"takata recall" i totalled my car because the steering locked while i was driving. I lost control and flipped it. I was stuck in the seat belt because it would not release. I have airbag dermatitis from the airbag chemicals.

Failure - have began to notice on my 2001 honda civic that i can not release key from the ignition. Just had a transmission put in the car at over 207,xxx miles. This is becoming a problem because i have to back up and pull forward just to get the steering wheel straighten - then pull the key out.
The was just park and when i put the ignition key on the steering wheel and key ignition didn't want to start
I tried to dodge the car in front of it, and failed to do so. I scratch the rear left bumper of the car in front of me, and i lost control of my car, then spin 540 degrees and hit the concrete wall of the interstate. I was wearing the seatbelt so it was ok but the front airbag should have deployed to protect me from certain injuries. I still feel some pain on my neck and my back 3 days after the incident.

My 2001 honda civic ex srs lightcame up last week. This car had lot of issues since i bought in 2000 december1. Radio replaced 1 month after purchase.2. Right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500.3. Side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor.4. Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work.5. Replaced front struts in 20066. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up andstays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired.overall i think 2001 civic is a piece of junk.
Rack and pinion leak, repeated repairs don't work.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic.the contact stated that the rubber seals around her window were peeling.the dealer stated that inclement weather caused the failure because her vehicle was not placed in a garage.the contact was also informed that she would have to replace the window seals at the cost of $50 each.the vehicle has not been repaired.the vin and mileages were unknown.
Clear coat is peeling away from hood, roof, and door.
Customer hit a truck head-on. The fuse panel shattered and severely lacerated the drivers leg.
Possible suspension defect.incident date of 04/05/2006 is date informed by dealer of problems.noticed car squeaked/creaked a lot when turning.brought car to dealer for 75k checkup and asked him to examine suspension.dealer informed me that both of my front struts leaked and needed to be replaced, that one motor mount was cracked, and that both of the lower control arms needed to be replaced.car was maintained in accordance with owner's manual and serviced almost entirely by same dealer for 5 1/2 years.no accident occurred, but all of these problems within such a short period of time (3-6 months between prior major and minor checkups and the checkup that discovered these problems and 5 1/2 years for the car age) are cause for concern, especially since they could have worked together to cause a drastic loss of control of the car.based on my prior ownership experience with a 1992 honda civic and research on the internet, it is difficult to believe that all of these problems should have occurred.thus, i believe that certain components of my 2001 honda civic's suspension may be defective.the assumed defect may be due to a design flaw, since 2001 was when honda stopped using double-wishbone suspension in their u.s. Civics in lieu of old suspension type.

While having the transmission replaced, also another defect, it was discovered that i needed 2 new front struts.this just added to the already extremely expensive repair.my daughter drives the car and the safety of this vehicle scares me.honda should recall the entire vehicle.
Small rocks were found in the front splash guard after hearing them hit the undercarriage 4-8 times. One dealer removed the stones and they fell 3 more times. We took the vehichle to the original dealer and it was checked again with no stones being found. The stones were hazardous and their origin should be determined.

The drivers and passengers airbags did not deploy during a frontal impact crash involving a honda civic and gmc yukon truck. My vehicle the honda civic was heading on a two-lane street at approximately 35 to 40 miles per hour before impact into a stopped truck making a left turn across oncoming traffic while honda was in motion the brakes were applied. Cause is unknown at this time on why the airbags did not deploy. All recalls have been complied with for the 2001 honda civic. Recall 13v-132: recall 14v-351 completed. Number of open recalls are zero at this time.
While driving hood flipped up , went and parked vehicle to find that the hood latch had come off the base due to rust issue . This is very dangerous due to the fact i could not see while driving the vehicle. Has any other issues arose like this one that happened to me? thank you.

Takata recall, the srs light signal is on the whole time whenever the car is moving, it wont go away. And the car breaks isnt breaking fast when brake pads are being press down all the way instead it breaks slow to stop. Also hood needs to be slam hard in order to close.

Driving at a low rate of speed, city street, and the hood flew open and smashed right into the windshield, cracking causing me to almost crash. The windshield is cracked. Called honda dealer and they just laughed and said: yeah, that happens sometimes.
We got into a head on collision with a suv receiving damage to the front of the car. None of the airbags deployed, but both deployed in the other car (suv). There were two recalls for our honda civic airbags in 2010 and 2013. In both recalls our honda civic was serviced andthe "driver airbag inflator" was replaced. We were told the repairs were made, but the airbags never deployed. We do not want this to happen to anyone else.

Paint is developing crows feet in four seperate places. Dealership sent me to a contracted body shop for evaluation to determine whether it should be covered by warranty. Body shop said that it was due to bird droppings or sap. Had environmental protection package applied at time of purchase. I wash this car on a weekly basis and hose off bird droppings as they are noticed. These places are also on the side of vehicle (not a flat surface). I find this impossible and believe it to be a defect in paint. Blemishes and loss of gloss continue to develop in the paint. Landmark honda did offer a fix to this problem and it is unacceptible. Warranty information about environmental protection package should have been mailed to me immediately after application. It wasn't. Dealer explained a couple of weeks ago that they purchase an insurance policy on the paint with the application and that this was never done. They turned around and purchased this insurance after the fact, mailed me the warranty info with 800 number, and asked me to wait two weeks before contacting them so that it wouldn't be suspect. I believe this to be insurance fraud and as much as i do want the car fixed, i don't want to break laws in doing so. No safety defect mentioned.
My husband and i took over the car from his aunt in 10/2005, at 56,020 miles. The car has been well taken care with periodic oil changes and some maintenance. On 12/22/2008, when it was of 82,409 miles, the check engine light was on. This time we did pay some amount for other services but due to financial hardship could not pay for the torque converter replacement, as advised at kolbe honda at reseda. After the service performance, the check engine light was off. However, on 6/15/2009, we had no choice but to replace the car's transmission and torque converter for $690.69 (on the 70/30 split).

The contact owns a 2001 honda civic purchased brand new in 2001. She stated that the srs airbag light continued to illuminate on the warning panel. She received a recall letter pertaining to the failure. The dealer stated that the vehicle would be repaired in 5 days. She requested a rental vehicle at no cost; however, the manufacturer denied the request. The brakes had been replaced over four times in a period of 4 years which resulted in the struts being damaged. The transmission was replaced twice. The fuel pump, air conditioning system, alternator have also been repaired andthe power locks were inoperable. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 128,000.

Since 2016 i've been having problems with the brakes. We fixed them and the problem came back. When i press the brake pedal at times it does not work. My mechanic said that behind the brakes, there is a hose that needs to be purged, but every time they try to do that, it does not work. There is no flexibility on the hose. We've attempted fixing this several times and it works for a day and then the next day it does not work.please let us know if there is a way we can fix this. I'm afraid this issues has endangered my life several times. I cannot drive it anymore, but i only have this car. The latest issue was today. After having it at the shop for over a week, i was driving my car out of the my drive way and the brake would not work. I've parked it outside my home.thank you,

I have owned a 2001 honda civic lx since late december 2006 i have had the car a little over a year, when i bought the car it had 60,000 miles and it currently has 86,000 miles on it. Since the car was purchased i have had nothing but suspension problems. It seems like each time i drive it something is making a noise in the front end. I understand that this problem may be or may not be honda's fault. I did purchase the car used and the suspension was not serviced at a certified honda dealer; but i have read online that there is a lot of other people that experience these same issues with their 2001-2002 civics. I think honda should be forced to recall these vehicles its a matter of their consumers safety when the suspension is jeopardized. My warranty has covered most items but its a constant hassle to constantly keep bringing the car into the shop. I bought the civic cause everyone said how wonderful of a car it was and this one has been nothing but a nightmare both with the suspension failures and other things that constantly go wrong with it. I think i might be trading the vehicle in but i wanted to voice my opinion.

Faulty handling characteristics:on a few occassions, while turning or changing lanes at moderate speeds on pavement that was not perfectly smooth, the car 'hopped' sideways unpredictably.this was very disconcerting, and despite this models excellent crash-test results, this problem presents a safety hazard.automobile magazine, april, 2002, p. 124, refers to this front suspension flaw on 2001 models only (corrected on 2002 models) as "like driving a tired, old taxicab". I've asked the service dept. Twice to look into the matter & received no response.i've also written to honda corp. In torrance, ca twice, with no response to date.i believe that a recall or similar measure would be in order to remedy this handling problem.i would like honda to correct this problem at no cost and provide me with a loaner car, or to replace my car with a 2002 civic lx coupe at no cost to me.would you please look into this matter and advise?thank you.

I have a 2001 honda civic. My daughter was driving the car home from school on interstate 95. The lower control arm broke while she was diving 70 mph. When the part broke , it broke the axle going to the transmission and pulled the sway bar loose. The honda dealership stated they had never seen this part fail before.
I own a honda civic ex 2001, and the handling on the car is unsafe due to faulty struts. The car rattles and shakes on even the slightest of bumps. I bought the car new and had the right front strut replaced at 23,000 miles. At 27,000 i had to replace the left right strut as well. The parts are on back order due to what honda rep described is a very common problem on 2001 honda civics.

Left front strut is leaking, my car vibrates so severely that i cannot drive over 40 mph.there are no struts in the usa - on critical back order.my dealership has seen noticeable quantities of this problem.the 2001 civic has a new suspension system in it, and it is flawed in my opinion.my car has never been in a wreck, and does mostly interstate driving. *nlm
2001 honda civic ex 23,000 miles both front struts leaking, poor handling.
Left and right front macpherson struts leaking, causing front end noise and very poor handling.parts back-ordered for undetermined time.
2001 honda civic has suspension problems,both front struts are leaking.only parts available are through the dealer and they are very expensive.
Possible suspension defect.incident date of 04/05/2006 is date informed by dealer of problems.noticed car squeaked/creaked a lot when turning.brought car to dealer for 75k checkup and asked him to examine suspension.dealer informed me that both of my front struts leaked and needed to be replaced, that one motor mount was cracked, and that both of the lower control arms needed to be replaced.car was maintained in accordance with owner's manual and serviced almost entirely by same dealer for 5 1/2 years.no accident occurred, but all of these problems within such a short period of time (3-6 months between prior major and minor checkups and the checkup that discovered these problems and 5 1/2 years for the car age) are cause for concern, especially since they could have worked together to cause a drastic loss of control of the car.based on my prior ownership experience with a 1992 honda civic and research on the internet, it is difficult to believe that all of these problems should have occurred.thus, i believe that certain components of my 2001 honda civic's suspension may be defective.the assumed defect may be due to a design flaw, since 2001 was when honda stopped using double-wishbone suspension in their u.s. Civics in lieu of old suspension type.
Left front strut is leaking and is causing front end noise and poor handling.
The vehicle jumped on bumpy roads as well as smooth roads. Thevehicle was taken to the dealership and the mechanic stated the vehicle needed new struts, however the part was on back order.
I have had my drivers side seat track replaced at least 5 times since i have owned the car. I have also have had both front struts replaced, both front springs, rear speaker, rear bumper repainted. I am trying to get rid of the car under the nj lemon law. To this day i have not been satisfied. This has been going on for more than a year.
While driving at any speedvehicle makes a loud crunching sound and bounces.there are no lights or anything indicating that something is wrong with the vehicle. While turning left or right there is a knock coming from the front wheels.
While driving at any speed vehicle will squeak and the struts will leak.the front struts were replaced seven times by the dealer.
Warranty parts not being provided in timely manner. Front struts are both leaking.*nlm
On 4/1/08 i took my 2001 honda civic with 38,772 miles to my local firestone dealer for an oil change. I purchased this vehicle new on 3/31/01. Firestone showed me oil leaking from both front struts. They added that this could be a potentially dangerous situation as the front springs would crack or, fall off potentially lead to a motor vehicle accident causing death or, injury. With the low mileage on the vehicle, i deem this a factory defect and fear the possibility of a serious motor vehicle accident.
While having the transmission replaced, also another defect, it was discovered that i needed 2 new front struts.this just added to the already extremely expensive repair.my daughter drives the car and the safety of this vehicle scares me.honda should recall the entire vehicle.
I recently bought a 2001 honda civic used with 80,000 miles on it. After i purchased it i was driving home on freeway hit a bump and i had a hard time controlling it. I didn't really notice this problem when test driving car. I bought a honda with the knowledge of its reliability.this is not a safe car what so ever!!!!!!!ive never had to replace struts on other cars ive owned including a recent honda that had close to 300,000 k on it.i demand that honda recalls this problem before someone gets hurt!!!!!!!!!!!i was suppost to save money by purchasing a honda not spending $800.00 every 20,ooo miles. C.g.s.

The front struts experienced premature failure, which made the vehicle difficult to control.
2001+ civic strutbearing and steering defecton the 2001 civic the strut bearing (shock upper bearing, not the wheel bearing) is a plastic component and not a ball bearing as on the 2002 and up civics. This plastic bearing have more friction than a ball bearing. That more friction result in you (driver) have to apply more force on the steering wheel and even in all the steering components causing wear on the parts.another fact is when the wheel (and tire) hit on a hole the plastic bearing doesn't "resist" the impact (as a metal ball bearing can do). This result in fast wear and deformation to the part. This plastic bearing, (that you can easily bend with your hands and isn't well engineered) can't support a 2500 pounds car hitting a hole at 60 mph(120 mph speed limit; as safety factor).when the bearing fails the wheels can't be turned well and some times the spring seats hit (or scuff) the strut tower resulting in a non well steering at all. Even this causes damage to other steering and suspension parts.this result in some problems that are common subjects in many 2001 civics as you can see in car forums: the steering wheel doesn't return to its center position after turning in any direction, wheel misalignment, vibrations in the steering wheel, parts and tires unusual wear, sounds and clicks on the steering and suspension components, and others.is known misaligned vehicles, worn steering and suspension components, vibrations on the steering wheel, affects the vehicle drivability and can result in serious accident and injuries. The vibrations and the excess of force that have to be applied to the steering wheel, as on other mechanical parts, can cause health diseases.as mentioned, honda correct this defect on the later models from 2002 replacing the plastic bearing with a metal ball bearing and doing some changes to the upper spring seats and other components.
Consumer took vehicle in for service, after the front end developed a noise.mechanic noticed that the struts needed replacing.please provide any further information.

My 2001 honda civic ex srs lightcame up last week. This car had lot of issues since i bought in 2000 december1. Radio replaced 1 month after purchase.2. Right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500.3. Side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor.4. Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work.5. Replaced front struts in 20066. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up andstays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired.overall i think 2001 civic is a piece of junk.
Front wheel bearing failure:while driving on interstate, noted humming in front of vehicle.continued to drive and noted only hummed above 40 mph.changed tires and rotated wheels. Continued to hum but louder.took it into honda service where front wheel bearings were replace since the left had failed\, right had leaked grease.(honda civic 2001; 89000 miles.) fortunately we did not wait too long.

I purchased a 2001 honda civic coupe ex, in november 2000.it has been nothing but problems ever since.ive been to two different honda service centers almost 20 times now.the car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes.the car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted.then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of honda, after they assured me that my car was fine.this has been an ongoing problem with honda.they fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing.the car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, honda finds nothing.the windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, honda finds nothing.all four tires are leaking, honda at first find nothing wrong, now say i have to replace tires.the driver's seat is loose and rocking, honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, honda finds nothing wrong.seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety.now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny.i think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost.im very concerned for my safety at this point.i even reached out to honda consumer affairs in california, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while i had the rental, to report the rental stolen because i asked if i could hold the rental until honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by honda that day as well)i am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten.there are numerous other problems i didn't list here, too many to list.i would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you. *nlm

2001 honda civic --a/c has died. It worked on and off for a couple of weeks, was told it was the compressor ($1400 job)... Then it just stopped all together.

"takata recall" no problems to report at this time, thank god. Just wanted to notify you that my 2001 honda civic lx sedan vin# does apply to the recall notice that was sent to me.
I was driving in heavy traffic, stopped at a light and my car just wouldn't move. I had to turn it off and turn it back on again to get it moving. But, as soon as i stopped again, it stopped moving...turned it off and on again and it barely moved enough for me to pull over and get a tow. I had it taken to a shop, but was told later they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It was moving again. So, i contacted a friend who knows honda's and he informed me that this year and make has had many transmission problems and that it's likely i'll need a new transmission. I think that this should be honda's responsibility, the car doesn't have enough mileage and i'm in california where the weather is mild. It's outrageous that honda hasn't had an official recall. I want them held accountable. I was lucky that i wasn't on the freeway. I was with my seventy two year old mom who has dementia and she was terrified. So i'm angry to say the least.
On june 2, 2018, i was pulling into my space at my apartment with my friend in the passenger seat. The car suddenly and uxpectantly acceralted and jumped the curb and hit a tree which stopped the car. The airbags did not employ.both of us were sore for the next few days but no major injuries.
Takata recall; is this vehicle's airbag need to be changed out? i heard that a car just like mycar, airbag ,killed the driver. ??? this car hasn't been involved in any accidents that i know of.

There is a whistling noise coming from, i believe, the front end of the vehicle.i first heard the noise while driving the car home from the dealer on may 5, 2001.has been to vandergriff honda 3 separate times.the first time they replaced the windshield.the second time they said they could never hear the noise so couldn't do anything. The third time they had the car for 3 days and still did nothing except said they thought the noise was coming from the back brakes.so they fixed them.there was nothing wrong with the brakes.two weeks ago took it back to the dealer purchased from.he rode in the car with me for at least 50 miles.never heard the noise.i left the car.they kept the car for 15 days and did nothing.according to the service report and the service advisor they reproduced the noise, but could not find out where it was coming from.the copy of the service report that i received when i picked up the car, shows 9 hours time spent on vehicle - driving, taping, etc.not a lot of time spent on it in 15 days.i contacted american honda caseworker again today.when i picked up the car yesterday, as soon as i got on the highway the noise started.after 10 minutes of continual whistling i called back the service advisor i had just left and he heard the noise.my daughter and granddaughter were also in the car with me.the noise continued all the way home.the dealer is 1 hour from my home.that is the only reason that i did not take it to them before.but when vandergriff couldn't fix it, i wrote a letter to american honda (9/10/02).finally got a response back from them the end of october.after which we agreed that i would take it back to the dealer i purchased from.i have asked am. Honda what they are going to do about the problem.the response is nothing.somehow, someway honda will make this problem go away.
I recently began having problems with my 2001 honda civic's transmission. I noticed the car would hesitated and stalled while i was driving on the highway. I am very angry to learn that vehicles honda manufactured between the years of 1999-2004 have widespread complaints of transmission failure. I called the dealership where i bought the vehicle and asked what honda would do to repair my vehicle and was told that the cost of repairing the faulty transmission theyput in this vehicles was my responsibility. I am very dissatisfied. This vehicle has had numerous recalls since i have had on everything from the fuel injection to the airbags.
The carpet is coming up and balding.
The air bag light illuminated on the dash board, the dealer replaced the part, however the light illuminated again.the occupancy position detector system was replaced, the rear defroster and cruise control was inoperative, there was a loud clunk noise while driving and on turns, the radio was inoperative, the back window was replaced along with the antenna, the fog light switch was loose, the brake light had gone out, there was a rattle in the rear seat, the fuel cap was loose, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and the trunk lid did not close.scc

Steering: i was on the freeway northbound in slow lane, the vehicle was pulling heavy to the right. I remember going into a fishtail then to the right which was grassy and dirt . Slamming sideways up against a wall or fence ending up drivers side.my car was towed to performance towing in santa rosa,ca. I was unable to get it back, i was unable to pay for towing charges. Performance towing place a lien sale on it. Now i'm without a car in debt.

Car began accelerating rapidly while driving down a hill. Was finally able to bring it to a stop after driving down an entire stretch of flat road without pressing the gas at all. When i put the vehicle in park, it accelerated furiously but didn't attempt to go anywhere, and finally i just turned it off. My father was able to come to my assistance, and was able to get the car drivable again after pressing on the gas several times while the vehicle was in park. I drove the car to work the next morning without any problems. However, i feel that if this would have happened on a higher speed road, such as the interstate, my safety would have been severely compromised and bringing the car to a complete stop would have been much more difficult. I really don't have any other problems with the car, but i am now very skeptical about driving it, especially on the interstate.
Car was driving normally, all of a sudden couldn't make it up a hill, speed wouldn't go past 20mph. Transmission problems.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. While driving approximately 3 mph in reverse, the vehicle abnormally accelerated at an unusually high rate of speed. The vehicle then crashed into an unknown object. The vehicle suffered major damage but was not destroyed. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The vehicle was inoperable. The vin was not available at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 82,000 and the current mileage was 82,000. Updated 05/13/10. *lj
While driving on the interstate, the car was no longer accelerating. While stepping on the gas the engine was revving but the speed would not increase. As i was only a short way from an exit, i was able to get off of the interstate, down the exit ramp, and to the stop light prior to the local roads as the car would still drive but only less than 40 mph. Upon getting to the stop light, the car no longer responded to the gas pedal going forward, i was able to back up to a space in between turn lanes. I placed my hazard lights on and called triple a for a tow truck. My car was towed to a local auto body where i was informed the car's transmission had gone, to their surprise as the car is in "great condition".
Honda dealership replaced my transmission because the transmission was failing between gears and when i was driving car it will fail to accelerate and not move and this was very dangerous because i did not have control of my car while driving , the dealership installed a "new" transmission because i had warranty and now at 128000 miles the " new" transmission is leaking, the dealership said they will not repair and thatthere is not any warrantyfor the transmission anymore. I have heard a lot of complaints for the honda civic 2001 transmission, one of the worst transmissions from honda cars, honda used to be a good reliable car. All that i can say if the honda dealer replace the transmission with a " new " transmission why is leaking? it does not make any sense. Now to repair the transmission ata local shop theywill charge around 3000 dollars.
The cruise control is inoperative.

My name is [xxx] , my husband is [xxx] and were purchased a care from jack matia in 2006 for the honda civic 2001, on july the 4th my daughters took the car to put gas in it when they pulled out into traffic te car stopped and would only go in reverse,after calling not only the dealership and the honda headquaters i've only been told that it isn't covered under the warranty, but this isn't a warrant issues the reason behind it not being on a recall list is because honda doesn't think this is a safety issue. My daughter hasd just came off the highway i'm only grateful that it didn't die on them then after having a mechanic check the car out we found out it was the transmission had died. My daughter said no lights (engineor otherwise) had came on that's why she didin't know what happened.they because my vin # wasn't on the recall list they couldn't do anything about it, that iwas stuck with the cost repair, it may not be a recall but it is a known issue.so now i am making payments on a lemon that was sold to even withthe awareness that this was an issue. And i pretty sure there was a lemon law broekn some where, not to mention the risk this put my family at while driving this car . We do alot of highway driving due to my job. No one wants to take responsibilty but someone definitely should forthe risk they put my family and other drivers on the road at. Are we going to wait til we are dealing with a situation like we just did with toyota????? i certainly hope not. I've put over 5,000.00 dollars in payments that's not countng repairs into this car and this is a slap in the face for a consumer who worksand has always worked hard for her living. I know i'll never buy another honda, too afraid especailly after what my daughters experienced.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Cited is actually the 2nd of four failures, the first one for which i have a date. In all cases the car surged forward while at a low speed but with the cruise control engaged. It was brought under control w/ use of the brake.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
From a dead stop the car uncontrollably accelerated.the foot brake would not slow the vehicle.somehow the car wound up doing a 180 on the road and slammed into a snow bank.i was able to jam the transmission into park and slow the car with the hand brake.
I am the single owner of the car and been meticulous with maintenance. Then suddenly over the thanksgiving weekend as i stepped on the gas, the car revved up but did not move. Fortunately i was just down the street. Now the mechanic is asking for $2200. Question is if i do spend that amount and get a new transmission, what's the guarantee if that one won't fail?
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. After the contact removed his foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The driver lost control of the vehicle, crashed into the rear of a second vehicle, and drove through a wired fence. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver suffered an injured neck and back that did not require medical attention. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 151,000.
On june 2, 2018, i was pulling into my space at my apartment with my friend in the passenger seat. The car suddenly and uxpectantly acceralted and jumped the curb and hit a tree which stopped the car. The airbags did not employ.both of us were sore for the next few days but no major injuries.
Unintended acceleration. Engine rev went to 3000 rpm while stopped at a traffic light. Kept car stationary by pressing hard on the break. First and only occurrence; also almost the first and only day the car was driven with cruise control operational.
Was driving on the freeway when my 2001 honda civic jumped gears and shifted to a lower gear the check engine light came on and drastically reduced my speed had to maneuver off the freeway exit out as soon as possible and managed to drive it to a mechanic nearby which said i would have to take it to a dealer to fix it. When i took it to the dealer they told me i would have to wait until the light came back on so driving on the freeway it happened again this time took it to the dealer and received the code po740. Doing research online i found out this was common in civics and some accords and that 2001 was the worst. Honda has been using faulty transmission and solenoid parts and has caused problems for many owner that seems to cause problems and not allowing to shift into third gear and allows it to redline. Indeed no problem occurs when not driving to shift into third gear at about 3500 rpm but this causes a problem when the need to accelerate quickly or driving uphill is required, luckily i was able and traffic on the freeway wasn't heavy when this occurred that allowed me to exit quickly but if this had caused me to shift down it would've been dangerous and caused a hazard to me and other drivers. Please look into this as no recall has yet to be made even though the multitude of people with this problem.
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact stated that while reversing at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries reported and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not taken for diagnosis or repair. The contact had not notified the manufacturer of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 135,000.
Total transmission failure! while i was stopped at a traffic light it felt like the car would not get in gear. I would press on the gas and the engine would rev up but i was not moving. I was able to let it coast to a side street to get out of traffic. This could have been really ugly if i was on the highway or on a busier street. I had to get it towed to the nearest service station. Apparently the oil pump and torque converter failed which basically caused the rest of the transmission to burn up. I had to do a complete new transmission rebuild. I know my honda has a few miles but 104k seems too early for a transmission failure.
When slowing down, then accelerating again vehicle will stall frequently around 20 mph. Vehicle taken to dealer twice, could not find cause.
I was driving home, back country roads, when suddenly my vehicle revved up to over 5000rpm while making a very slow turn.i brake, it stopped revving up, but when i started again it shuddered and then completely stopped moving.i could not go in any gear, i tried waiting a while, car runs fine but won't move.sat by the side of the road waiting for a tow, have now been told the transmission failed and needs replaced.of course, this will cost almost the value of the care, but that's not my main concern.while this did not cause me physical harm, i was planning on leaving for baltimore within the hour.had this car waited 50 more miles to give out i would have been traveling at a high rate of speed on 695s along with many other friday night commuters and could have easily caused a major accident and who knows how many people could have been killed, myself included?this car simply stopped moving within 1 minute - no lights on the dash, no prior notice of anything wrong.i keep this car maintained per the manual and was planning on keeping it for several more years.i have now found that this has been a well known issue for honda for many years and still nothing is being done.there are so many complaints by so many consumers i can hardly believe there has not been a recall on this. How many does it take?how many will need to die in accidents caused by this before something is done?
The contact owns a 2001 honda civic. The contact attempted to brake from unknown speeds but to no avail.

My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car. The steering was also out of control and the car continued to accelerate about 30-40 mph for an entire block and finally, crashed into a tree totaling the vehicle. She was taken away by ambulance. As a result of the crash, she suffered from a broken ankle and heel, deep gash to the knee, severe chest pain (from airbag) and heart contusion. She spent over a week in the hospital and is still in the process of recovering.
My huband was driving on the freeway 65 mph, he aproached behind a slow moving vehicle in front and he slowed down to about 50 mph he downshifted to 4th gear but apparently it went into second gear instead and it felt as if throttle got stuck and all warning lights turned onand lost all power in vehicle, other cars were coming up behind him at the posted speed of 65 mph, he was barely able to coast the vehicle safely to the side of the road. Vehicle was taken to the dealer were i purchased it and they determined that the engine was destroyed and honda will not honor the warranty. My husband did some research and found out that the same dealerhas about 8 or 9 vehicles with engines destroyed internally like mine. It looks as if these new vehicles are almost a death trap if you happen to miss a gear when downshifting on a manual 5 speed transmission.
1) no accident yet, but frequently the side of my right foot hits the accelerator while putting the brakes on; part of my large foot is on the brake - part lands on the accelerator.

No heat out of the floor section. Been to dealer twice. Both times told car is functioning normally. Second time i brought in a pyrometer to measure temps. Dash/defroster temp over 120f, floor temmp in the 40's. Dealer says it is similar on other civic's. We tested another on lot and it had similar problem. Honda says since it is happening on other civics then my car doesn't have a problem. But on a zero degree morning having to choose between being warm or having a clear windshield is a problem. The design of the ventilation system has two defroster options. All air to the defroster or 50/50 defroster/floor. Neither option warms up the passenger compartment with the 50/50 option sending air that is about 20 degrees above the outside air temp into the car.
All windows clear with defroster operation with the exception of the drivers front window, dealer adjusted side vents.*yd

Brakes never worked right, felt like not stopping quick enough, had replaced 3 or 4 times since 2001, but to this day, when stopping suddenly with brake pedal fully to floor, car doesn't want to stop & is scary. Was rear ended,radio & speakers quit working,replaced & alarm quit working, had to have it completely removed & had damaged fly wheel. Alarm malfunction was causing car to run in "safe mode" and car was using too much gas. The gas indicator is not accurate, and slow to adjust to empty or full levels, even when in perfect weather. Even now i am certain that i do not get good gas mileage in city or highway driving & feel this car is vastly overrated in every way! srs indicator light is always on for 3 years now, red in color, i never knew this was a problem before reading bulletins ( but do now). Right front window was slow to roll down for months, then wouldn't roll up in cold weather, and now won't work at all regardless of weather conditions. Is stuck, and where i thought it might be a simple fuse issue, now we're finding out it will be a $600 window motor issue. Not a very happy honda customer right now. Ironically, i bought this civic because of a prior positive experience owning a honda crx, which was wonderful. This honda civic 2001 has changed the way i view honda's in general, unfortunately.
My 2001 honda civic ex srs lightcame up last week. This car had lot of issues since i bought in 2000 december1. Radio replaced 1 month after purchase.2. Right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500.3. Side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor.4. Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work.5. Replaced front struts in 20066. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up andstays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired.overall i think 2001 civic is a piece of junk.
I bought this vehicle and then found out there are $3000 minimum issues with the vehicle. Including replacing the transmission because of the defective torque converter, the airbags aren't working properly, the rear window won't roll down. Also, the evaporation sensor and canister need to be replaced and i cannot find the right part to replace it. The srs light is on because of the seatbelt issue, the check engine light is on because of the transmission problem from the torque converter and the cruise control doesn't work even though the lights say that it is engaging.
Passenger's side door power window fails to work properly. Will not go either up or down when button is pushed.
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 stoppingtransmission 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 was a problem with the honda civic
Tl * the contact owns a 2001 honda civic. When drivinghe smelled a strong odor of fuel inside of the vehicle. He speculated that the odor of gasoline wasrelated to the exhaust system.also the front passenger side power window was inoperative.no repairs were made.the failure mileage and current mileages were unknown.
The factory rearview mirror's height from the floor/ceiling cannot be adjusted, and since i am six feet tall, the mirror's position blocks a large fraction of my forward vision. The mirror can completely hide a car traveling or merging in a lane to the forward right of my vehicle. Also, i have to scrunch down to look under the mirror in order to make a safe right-hand turn. I will be replacing the mirror with one that has two pivot-points so that its height can be adjusted, and i wish the government would encourage honda and all manufacturers to use mirrors that can be repositioned so as not to block the vision of taller drivers.

I tried to dodge the car in front of it, and failed to do so. I scratch the rear left bumper of the car in front of me, and i lost control of my car, then spin 540 degrees and hit the concrete wall of the interstate. I was wearing the seatbelt so it was ok but the front airbag should have deployed to protect me from certain injuries. I still feel some pain on my neck and my back 3 days after the incident.
