Transmission Won't Engage
2001 Honda Civic (Page 2 of 4)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2001 Civic has transmission problems, transmission problems & more transmission problems. Did we mention transmission problems? And a dangerous defect with the front airbag that didn't get recalled for 10 years.
Although eventually the defective 2001 Civic airbag inflators were fixed under recalls in 2011 & 2013, that meant for 10 to 12 years airbags were activating with excessive force where metal fragments went shooting into passengers when the airbag deployed.
As for the 2001 Civic's transmission woes? Honda conducted a major transmission recall in 2004 & settled a class action lawsuit for defective transmissions in 2006. But, neither the recall or the lawsuit included the 2001 Civic.
Last thing to consider - the 2001 Civic is the most-recalled car ever, closely followed by the 2002 Civic & the 2001 Accord. The 2001 Civic is the 4th most-recalled vehicle overall, only a Ford truck & two Ford vans have more.

I bought this car new from the lot expecting to enjoy it for at least 15 years (I guessed I hoped for too much). I'm very upset because I have always believed in this line of cars I even bought last year 2010 honda civic as well. I just hung up with a honda customer service after seeing the number of reports and the only answer I got was, "there is nothing we can do, your warrantee ended in 2008". How is this possible??? Why if this is a problem with this model they refuse to assist their loyal customers??? I guess that will be the end for honda on my end. :- (
