While driving especially accelerating from a stop front end of car started vibrating and jerking.Qualified mechanic inspected the drive train and concluded there was a damage to the pulley shaft that could not have been due to wear and Tear. Mechanic said issue was identical to Honda recall ju2 15v574000. I was advised to take vehicle to Honda. On the way to Honda the transmission gave out in the middle of an intersection. Good samaritans helped push vehicle to near by parking lot. Vehicle was towed to Honda of Dartmouth,
Car without notice started going under 20 mph and then under 2mph. Towed to Proctor Honda in Tallahassee FL for diagnosis and they said the transmission is inoperable and the internal components failed which is the exact same problem that is stated in the other 2014 Honda Civic recalls. They claim this VIN is not one of the recalled VINS i believe it is.
I was sold a lemon in July 2015 from Victory Honda San Bruno.my VIN comes up as a 2014 Civic LX instead of EX-L.I never noticed the model difference until I had to look up recalls etc 'cause my pulley shaft stopped@ 94kmiles whilr on the freeway.Honda in Oakland&San bruno wanted $8k to fix it, ran my credit 4x for financing justtosay, not approved&my tranny cancels a $9k buyback/trade in.Honda of Oakland allowed a rep. to switch my car info w/someone else's, my last name, mileage, model, etc &allowed someone to pickup my car from them &didn't notify me for 4days, they also wanted$600 for tests, service AorB, trany flush(i didn't authorize)&my car(no previous engine problems)still doesnt drive.It has only been serviced at those 2 honda locations.I was NEVER notified&have these issues..PULLEY SHAFT#JU2, TIRE BEAD #JD8, now the AIRBAG RECALLS.On Nhtsa.gov/recalls, theres hundreds of owners w/my VIN #s minus the last 5-8 #s w/the same problems esp at 90k mile.my car is PAID OFF
The plug for the automatic transmission fluid pops off and allows for all contaminates and water to enter transmission unknowingly. This was noticed at 94k miles on ours and on forums is a highly reoccurring item that needs to be addressed by Honda before transmissions begin failing from a "popping" plug that falls out while driving unbeknownst to the driver.
I was driving home from work on the freeway and when I got off the freeway I stopped at the stop light when it turned green I started to push the gas pedal and the car started jerking back and forth like it wanted to stall I pushed on the gas a little more and it continued to jerk at each stop light when I accelerated. No warning light came on no codes and it just happened suddenly with out warning. I parked it and took it to the shop the following morning

I was driving my car on the city streets when the cvt transmission started to make the car act erratic stop and go stop and go. I had to put the transmission in neutral so that I could control it and move to the side of the road. I was so glad I wasn't on the freeway when this happened. I purchase the car used in April of 2015. I always had the car service at the dealership when service was due. And two years ago I had to replace the transmission because it completely shutdown after getting off the freeway. At that time the car had went over 100K miles so I had to pay $2000 to replace it. And it looks like I'm going to be paying $2000 again. I didn't know that there was a recall for the ctv transmission, until a few days ago when I was looking to see if any one else had this problem. Because I purchase the car used I wanted to see if the recall was taken care of, it looks like it was. But I don't think that a software update is the complete fix for this problem. So many people are still having problems with this transmission. Some with low mileage like my second transmission and most of them fail around 100K. I know nothing last for ever, and I will pay $2000 for a new transmission if I can be sure that it will not just all out of the blue lockup or brake part of the drive train and put my life in danger
Driving on 95 North around 4pm Monday 03/29/2021 when transmission failed. There were no loud noises, no service warnings or lights. Car has about 75,000 miles and the transmission was last serviced in 2018 at 60,000 miles. The car has routine maintenance records. The recall (NHTSA id: 15V574000) was performed in 2016 which was a software update due to a mechanical transmission problem.
Transmission fill plug popping out of its position on top of the transmission fill port. Causing leaking trans fluid and possible transmission failure. Dealership has checked this issue 1 time and states the issue has been resolved. Less than 3 days later the same issue occurred.
On January 17,2021, I was driving on a 2 lane road going approximately 75 mph (the speed limit) and all of a sudden all of my cars warning lights came on and the car started decelerating. When I pushed on the accelerator, the car reved but didn't pick up speed. I pulled over off the road and turned the car off and then back on. The car would start but nothing happens when I pressed on the accelerator. I had my car towed to a Honda dealership an hour away and they said it's going to be $6000 to replace the transmission. They said my specific car had no recalls on it and that sometimes things just break. The mechanic noted that my car is in excellent shape otherwise.
While I was driving down a busy interstate with numerous cars around me, my car gave a small jerk. After this, my car motor was still running, but had no power. When I pressed the gas, no power behind it. I was coasting and slowing down. After almost getting run over by the vehicle behind me, I was able to coast to the side of the road. There are multiple similar complaints with the transmission for this year model.
I bought the car brand new in early 2015. Never had so much as a slip in the transmission. Got a recall notice in 2015 about a sensor for making the "check tire pressure" light stay on when starting the car. Honda tells me they fixed this in December 2015. On August 27, 2020, while driving down the road on a very dangerous highway, the transmission just stopped. No noise, no pop, no stutter. The car started decelerating and every error message known to man came on the screen. Check power steering, check tmp system, check engine, check transmission, etc. I was able to pull over, barely getting across the line and having to sit and pray for half an hour that the huge cars barreling toward me would not hit me. Got it towed to king Honda. A technician called five days later and said the transmission is shot. I can either pay $6000 for a transmission from Honda, or I can pay $2000 for a used transmission. He said the drive shaft pulley broke. I asked him about the recall number 15V574000 that says the software settings that control the transmission operation may result in damage to the transmission drive pulley shaft. He said there was no recall on my car. He said he'd talk to his manager and call me back. He left a message saying the transmission has come apart on the inside and I would need a new one. In the meantime, I'd called the dealer where I purchased the car. The man told me it was just something that happened. I asked about the recall. He said it had nothing to do with it. My husband called and the man listened to him and agreed that these things don't "just happen" to a Honda that is less than 100,000 miles with no notice, no problems, no noise. He agreed to have a look at the car and said if the drive shaft pulley is in fact broken, it would be related to the recall. We towed it tonight and will wait to see what they say.
Starter clutch shudder/judder started before 41K miles. This is a long term (decades) known design issue with Honda Civic hybrids. This can impair ability of vehicle to start in traffic from a full stop and/or prevent vehicle from being able to travel up hills. Dealer recommends $380 'burnishing' procedure as a 'first step'. starter clutch replacement is the next step (>= $2000). Vehicle just left warranty in December 2019.
The transmissions fill cap keep popping off and causing transmission fluid to spill as well as exposing the inside of the transmission to the elements, causing the transmission to jerk while driving.
This has happened countless times since the day I purchased my car and drove it off the lot. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I am driving, when I take my foot off of the gas pedal, my whole car jars forward like it is my transmission and it missed a gear. It has done this since I drove it home from purchasing it. It makes me nervous because my son is in the back seat and he can tell every time it happens because his head jolts forward.
I was driving and it felt like a tugging on the passenger front wheel. When I would turn the tugging was worse. Then I turned around to go home and the car wouldn't move at all. All the gears were gone. The gear will go in the gear every gear but it wont go forward or backward. I don't think it's the transmission but it's possible the passenger axle or something in there or I could be wrong and it's the tranny.
My vehicle transmission went out on the highway brakes locking up then smoking. I was told by Honda it wasn't covered by warranty but later found out it was a defect in the transmission which would cause the breakdown.
When I exit the fwy my car started to shake I try to accelerate but it wouldn't advance while in gear. I took my car to the Honda it took 36 hours for them to tell me it was the transmission. No warnings about the transmission no light nothing just a really scary shaking hard shaking.
Transmission completely failed at a stop sign a month out of warranty at 49K miles. Was driving from my parent's driveway to said stop sign, around 100ft. Stopped at the stop sign, tried to move and got no traction. Next day had it towed, independent technician said the transmission was shot. Brought it to krenzen Honda in duluth, mn, they said transmission was shot. There was no suggested maintenance for the power train beforehand. Honda of America is claiming I didn't perform required maintenance but did not provide any information as to what that maintenance was supposed to be. Honda of America is refusing to fix it, even though there's an active recall for this model and for this failure mode (cvt being destroyed) but oddly enough not my car. This shows that there are other vehicles outside of the recall liable to have this happen. Service tech at krenzen said that this happens quite frequently.
The transmission is slipping and it trying to accelerate when I put it in drive I have to put the gas puddle to the floor and vibration on the seat it's a cvts transmission it was the pully that was fixed on the last recall I'm driving a loaner car is there any recall on the slipping or cvts in general thanks
