My girlfriend bought this car used for her brother for school since Hondas were thought of as reliable cars.
The car needed the trans replaced and Honda dealership quoted $2k for the trans alone not including labor. It was experiencing issues where it was hesitating and would work fine again after it cooled down but was certainly not safe to drive.
Went to an independent mechanic who was familiar with this issue cause he had the same car and fixed it with a rebuilt one for $1600.

Drive the car causally, never go on long trips or anything, one day got into it and BAM
the gears started shifting weird. Now I hear that i have to get a new tranny from what I've read on the internet. Great, thanks a lot Honda.... next time I'll go with Toyota.

I'm just shocked... brought my 2003 Honda Civic for the regular maitenance -- mentioned that I thought it was hesitating a bit -- got a call.... I need a new transmission... thankfully it is still covered under warranty, but I'm shocked. I thought Honda wasn't supposed to have this problem with this low mileage (64000 km's). I'm just terrified this is a sign of bigger problems to come? anyone else heard about this?

Tranny started slipping, next it was dead on the highway. 56,000 miles and a new transmission is rediculous. a year later that one went at 89,000 miles. lets see if this one goes again this winter.. its rediculous. ill probably never buy a honda again..
