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.

When on the freeway going 70mph over a series of evenly spaced road bumps between the sections of the roadway, the car bounced higher with each bump until it seemed as if it would lift off the road, like a trampoline effect. This is a brand-new model, so others may eventually report the problem too. I am afraid to drive on the freeway for fear that the car would leave the road if it went over an even longer series of bumps. When I brought this problem to the dealer on May 10, they test drove the car but could not duplicate the problem because they could not find a series of road bumps equidistant from each other. I tried to call Honda, but was disconnected in the middle of talking to a representative. I am hearing impaired and use a relay operator. It appeared I was hung up on because of using a tdd.
