driving on the GSP fault lights came on in heavy traffic and the transmission disengaged, brought to Causeway Honda and said there the transmission is blow and the recall doesn't cover my car replaced for 5400. dollars...
I was traveling home from Port Aransas TX. I had just driven off the ferry when the car started to violently shake. I was doing 30mph, I had to find a safe place to pull over. I drove no more than 500 ft when RPMs went up but forward momentum stopped. There was no warning other than the shaking. Vehicle was towed home and then to the local repair shop. They stated the transmission had failed. They stated rebuilding was not an option as it was a CVT transmission that had to be ordered via the Honda dealership. It was ordered and installed. Vehicle had 108,000 miles.
On a side street going 25 mph. The car lurched several times. The transmission light came on. The car wouldn't move. It was stuck in park. The transmission filler cap (Honda CVT 25615-5T0-004) had popped out and was missing. There was transmission fluid on the ground. There was only about 1 quart of transmission fluid left in the car. The car had to be towed to a transmission shop. The transmission needed to be replaced !!! :( The mechanic said that he has seen this same problem on other Hondas. NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA ! !!! An internet check with for Honda civic transmission cap problem reveled this has happened to many Hondas with CVT. The overflow vent gets clogged, cause pressure into increase in the transmission, then the cap pops off, the fluid leaks out and the transmission fails.

2015 Honda Civic with 136,159 miles. One morning put in reverse to back out of drive and Transmission starting slipping. Seamed to get better as the car warmed up. Turned around and parked the car until I could get it to a repair shop. The repair shop changed the oil and filter. Transmission was fine for about 6 days and is now starting to slip again. It is slipping a bit on the interstate when I go to pass. I read there was a recall for some 2015 Civics with CVT Transmissions. Mine was not listed in the recall, but is now slipping.
I was driving in stop and go city traffic and came to a stop at a red light and noticed smoke or steam coming from the hood. Upon pulling away from the light once it turned green, I noticed I had reduced acceleration and pulled over quickly. I have yet to get it in to the Honda dealership but will shortly. Upon roadside inspection from a mechanic, it is confirmed the the cvt transmission plug has come off and the transmission has lost fluid. Additionally, when turning left, the car will jar around and rumble if you turn the steering wheel too much.

On 2/25/22 I was heading north on I-5 right when I was heading up the Grapevine (about 100 miles from my home) when I noticed the road getting bumpy, at least so I thought. It started getting worse and my car started to studder. I tried to get to the shoulder but due to 2 lanes of big riggs it was quite difficult and scary to do so. When I was finally on the shoulder I inspected my tires which looked fine. I had it towed to a Honda dealership which told me that my transmission needed to be replaced. Said the fluid was black, looks like transmission might have overheated. The car only has 77,500 miles and I religiously do oil changes and services when due at a Honda dealership. This car hasn't needed a single repair until now. Also there were absolutely NO prior symptoms of any transmission problems.

I am having problems with my 2015 honda civic lx, my transmission failed when my wife and grandkids were getting off freeway and car stalled. This is a serious problem that Honda needs to address for consumer safety. The cvt transmissions in these vehicles are of poor quality.
While driving the check transmission light came on and vehicle would not accelerate above 20 mph. Vehicle made loud whining noise when pushing the gas pedal. Mechanic found that there was transmission fluid leaking heavily around the transmission fluid pressure switch. It is currently sill in the shop waiting for the replacement switch. Waiting to se if there are any other issues. I have seen many complaints on forums concerning the transmissions in these cars. Where is the recall?
My 2015 Honda Civic LX (automatic) began feeling like it was dragging/hesitating under 40m/h while decelerating. This would also happen while decelerating and then (without braking) accelerating (stop and go traffic or at signal). One time my car started shaking (think going on your brake and gas and brake and gas) that motion but way faster. it seems the fill cap/dipstick keeps popping out every 1000 miles and i have to manually put it back in.
The transmission fill plug popped out and was laying right next to the fill hole on the engine. Transmission fluid leeked from the engine and has damaged/compromised the transmission.
Transmission fill plug popped out. From blogs I read about the car it is a common thing for the plug to pop out if the vent is clogged or from high pressure build up in transmission.
1.8l engine Fill plug on auto transmission is blowing out! Cause: something to do with and engineering mistake on Honda's side. I'm not sure what is causing this which quickly leads to transmission failure to shortly follow the trans fill plugs blowing back out. From my research everyone on the internet is all saying the same thing is happening to their cars! This car was bought recently from a dealership with 40681 miles.
