Civic LX 1.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 126,987 miles

I HAD PURCHASED A USED 2001 HONDA CIVIC FROM A USED DEALERSHIP IN CORPUS CHRISTI. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I NOTICE THAT THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND THE GEARS SEEM AS IF THEY WERE STICKING. A YEAR LATER THE CAR STARTED HAVENING PROBLEMS. I WOULD JERK WHEN IT WAS SWITCHING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THE WHEN I WOULD GO UNDER AN OVER PASS TO MAKE A TURN IT WOULD JERK EVEN WORSE THAN TAKE A WHILE TO ACCELERATE AND TODAY ON MY WAY HOME IT MADE A MAJOR JERK AND THEN JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE I WOULD HAVE TO FORCE IT AND IT WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO OVER HEAT. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 3MILES WITHOUT MAKING A LOUD VERY LOUD WEIRD NOISE...... IM NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT.

Civic EX 1.7L

My Tranny began to slip I took it to a tranny shop they said 2001 Civic tranny's are know for this your transmission is on it's way out and gave me a estimate for almost $2500 dollars I checked the blue book value on my car and it's only worth $4000 dollars. I might just trade it in at a Toyota dealer cause I,m never buying a HONDA again.

Civic HX

  • CVT transmission
  • 53,675 miles

So transmission number two worked for a while until those same symptoms returned once again. Still nobody had any answers, so at 53,675 my Honda went in for lucky transmission number three. Same shitty service. After this point I had spoken to all of the managers, and none of them acted like this was unusual.

Civic EX Coupe

  • 138,000 miles

I noticed at first the car will jerk when switching from Park to Drive but it didn't always occur only when cold, etc. When I took it in to get checked because I heard about the transmission problems they were having they said nothing was wrong with my car. Now the car jerks and pauses when accelerating. They recommended a transmision service and state it is pausible that I may need a new transmission. They said while they extended the warranty for 100K I have far exceeded the warranty extension. Hopefully, servicing the transmission and replacing the fluid will help my problem if not I have a decision to make about paying for a new one estimated at dealer between 3 - 4K or buying a new car.
