Transmission Failure
2002 Honda Civic (Page 8 of 15)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Yes, the Honda Civic receives a lot of complaints because so many were sold. And sure, car parts only last so long and things eventually break. But it's never good to see this many transmission complaints, especially when the average mileage at failure is just north of 100,000 miles.
Especially when you consider that it's predecessor also has a nasty history with transmission complaints.

Our Honda civic car has been running OK but until last week when the transmission failed while I was going to a shop. It took several days and $3000 including car rental for 5 days. I would like to explore the possibilities for a class action lawsuit if anyone gives an idea about how long it will take for the whole process. I will not recommend anybody to buy a Honda vehicle.
