Transmission Failure
2001 Honda Civic (Page 15 of 35)
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 the car new at 11000 miles or so. I had my transmission replaced it was having problems and not down shifing when I was slowing down. Now at 150000 miles I had to replace the transmission AGAIN! and this time it was not under warranty. I had taken my car to the Honda dealer to get the 30,000 miles service and about 1 and a half weeks later my transmission failed. AS soon as I took it back I noticed something was wrong and I took it back to them at first they said it was my spark plugs then I took it back to them again cause I told them the problem was getting worse. My RPM would go up but the car would not move. The next time they told me my transmission was going out. I was In shock to find out. I was like how? it gets serviced every 30000 miles I don't do any driving up mountains daily or anything. They were just like it just happens. well I was not very happy and pissed off I felt like I had taken my car to get fixed and ended up short handed. It seems like this year of car has lots of problems with the transmissions when exactly is Honda going to do something about it and start taking responsibility for their problems with the car. Just cause it might not have caused any deaths or serious injuries I hope, it seems that Honda doesn't care about it. Honda take responsibility it is time
