My daughter was driving back to university on I-10 when she lost power. The car will start but when put in gear will not move. Guess is the transmission. Will take have towed tomorrow to a mechanic. I note the transmission recall on this year Honda Civic but this VIN is not included. Appears Honda is not including al impacted vehicles. Honda Civic 2015.
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Civic sedan. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, approaching an intersection while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle failed to respond. The contact got out the vehicle, placed the vehicle in neutral pushed the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact turned the vehicle off and back on however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to D'ella Honda 702 state route 3, plattsburgh, NY 12901, (518) 563-7686 where it was diagnosed and determined that transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 15V574000 (power train) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
Only have 58,000 miles on my Civic. The engine is stalling out and sometimes not moving when I put my foot on the gas going from stationary to in motion. This particularly happens when it sounds like it's shifting from stopped up to first gear. It has also been giving me very low gas mileage.
I recently bought a used 2015 Honda Civic, which now has 109,000 miles. The vehicle was running well until recently my acceleration is when turning corners is very low and the tires stop moving, I looked up similar issues online and saw a recall notice about the transmission, the issue can cause the tires to stall and can be extremely dangerous. My vehicle is having this exact issue and I feel this isnt coincidence. Honda needs to make sure that these vehicles are fixed. I drive to work every day and I feel that my vehicle will stop in the middle of traffic.

Driving on the highway at 60 mph, my car made a noise almost like a flapping sound and suddenly loses power. Got to the side of the highway, called roadside assistance and towed car to service station. The car started and ran - the car went into drive, reverse and park but would not move at all. Still no warning lights. The transmission needed to be replaced. There were no indications such as leakage, lights or slipping of transmission. Just completel malfunction on a highway 200 miles from home. Had the expense of transmission, car rental and hotel. You buy a Honda for reliability and never think this would happen
I was driving to work on I-77 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. I would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle began to slow. I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The Honda dealership who assessed the car said the transmission went out. There is only 100,364 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. There is a known problem (recall) with the 2015 Honda Civic but my VIN isnt included. Honda knows they need to extended or open recall to include more vins. This is Honda mess up buy putting in a faulty transmission.
My son just returned back to college.... so grateful it didn't happen then.. but the next day he was driving to the grocery store.. came to a stop at a red light.. didn't drive 10 ft when the car lost accelleration and front wheels locked up....so he turned off the car and turned it back on and proceeded to put it in drive when it started to go in reverse on its own so he turned off the car and called for a tow. This car has been in for regular maintenance since I purchased it in Feb /2015. This has been a dependable car up until this point. I believe this car should have been included in the 2014/2015 recall but wasn't for whatever reason. It clearly is having the same problems as the recall is claiming. I am so grateful this did not cause my son to be in an accident... so far from home.
My vehicle was showing no obvious signs of issues when purchased at about 28,000 miles 11/1/18 upon my first oil change at 39,000 miles it was noted that though transmission fluid was at safe levels there appeared to be a leak as condensation was noticed by the third party oil service technician. I was told to keep an eye out for any issues. I drove my vehicle with no obvious issues of driveway leaks or service lights on the vehicle indicating a transmission issue it also seemed to drive normally. At 43,900miles while driving the vehicle the service light came on indicating a transmission problem the drive light was blinking and my car was making a noise I never heard before. I was not able to make it to my destination as my car just stoped accelerating as I was trying to pull over on the highway. This all happened pretty quickly as the car stopped accelerating shortly after the service light came on for the very first time. The car was towed to the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle. The dealership claims the transmission was burned due to negligence by the third party oil technician removing the cap from my vehicle and not putting it back. I can say that the cap was not removed as I was in the car while it was being serviced for an oil change only. The third party company has explained that they also would not have removed the cap as transmission levels a digitally checked for my vehicle make and model. Also this incident was 8 months after they last serviced my vehicle. There is no outside damage to the transmission. It is unknown how the cap was removed found unhinged by the dealership. Below are photos provided by the dealership.
I was taking my mom to work at around 4am. On my way back my car suddenly stopping in the middle of the freeway. Luckily no cars were around and I was able to move it to the side of the road. The engine ran fine, but it would not accelerate or reverse. My car almost felt like it was left on neutral. Once I got it towed to a mechanic they told me my transmission pretty much blew out and I had to replace it. Before this incident I had a previous problem with the transmission fluid leaking. Anyways I got a new transmission and shortly after (November 2019) I could feel my car jolting if I came to a sudden stop or even accelerated. When I took it back to the shop they told me it was a problem with the transmission binding. They had to replace it once again. Now the car feels somewhat better, but still jerks with some stops. I've looked up my VIN for recalls and nothing has come up, but this is my 3rd issue with this car. I bought it brand new and used it for daily commutes. All this started happening around 97,000-100,000 miles on the car. I have kept up with maintenance so I'm unsure why this is happening.
The car started to shake like it wanted to stop but it was still moving and then it shook hard and then the engine remained running and it lost acceleration and stopped in the road.
It was raining, I went to slow down and it was as if the front wheels locked up, tcs blinking on and off, and the tires remained pulling as if power was still being sent to the front two, locked up, tires and I had no control as the car pulled me straight forward into the side of another vehicle resulting in a collision that had me hit a stopped car so hard it spun the other car around and totaled my car. This all happened within 500 feet of where I initially pulled out onto the road I was traveling on when the car started to malfunction to the road where I attempted to turn onto to avoid the crash and could not maneuver the vehicle at all.
I was driving home on I-80 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. I would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. Rpms would go to 4000. The vehicle began to slow. I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The auto shop who assessed the car said the transmission went out. There is only 158,000 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. The shop said it would be $5100 to replace.
I was driving down a 35 mph road and all of a sudden the car stopped moving. I had to push it to the side of the road I tried to put the cat in drive and reverse still nothing. I'm so glad I wasn't going faster than 35mph cuz that would have been scary if it did that while I was doing 65 or 75mph on the highway. I put it my VIN but it says no recall on the transmission. I found a recall that states 2015 transmission was recalled. So why isn't my vehicle being flagged for this
The internal shaft of the transmission failed on my 2015 Honda Civic which was under recall for this exact issue at 61K miles on a road trip, the car was under warranty when we left for a road trip, on our way back home this happened. Honda has been of no help to me in this situation with a case manager telling me "thats not my problem". I would like Honda to either buy the car back at fair market value or replace the defective transmission as I am on fear of my safety.
My Civic has 52000 miles on it & has always ran perfectly fine & has been maintainanced properly since I got it. I pulled out of my driveway & it started to bog down like it wouldn't accelerate then the check transmission sensor came only dash screen & engine light came on. I then pulled over & put the car in park & the drive "D" was blinking & check emission system also popped up on dash screen. I then put it back into drive in hopes to turn it around & get it back to house it accelerated but still bogged with parking"P" lit up. I got it home turned it off & called transmission repair shops. I drove it with no problems other then check transmission & emission sensor on dash screen to shop when I got there it was rough to put in park & could hear it switch between gears when moving stick to put in park which could never hear before. After diagnosis they're saying it needs new transmission due to internal damage inside the transmission. After further research I found that this year, make & model has recalls for the exact issues going on with my car. As I should not have tramission failure at 50000 miles in a car that I maintainanced properly & drove pretty much only around my small town.
I bought my car new and have had it only 3 1/2 years. My issues started with my battery failing twice within a year of each other. I had to replace all 4 tires with new ones only a year after buying it because the tires were so worn down as if they were not new to begin with. Then I had a system failure that required my car to be taken in to service for a couple days. Then more recently I had a transmission piece failure that emptied my transmission fluid to the point that I was driving on the road and my car slowly stopped moving which eventually had me stranded on the side of the road for a couple hours until I was able to get towed. Honestly one of the worst experiences in my life. I was by myself on the side of a wooded area while it was getting dark. When I had my car not start it was in a stationary potion. When my car had a weird system molt down I was driving and when the transmission started acting up I was also driving. When driving I was on a main street and had to pull over to the side of the road.

Driving and it just cut off in busy highway.! got it to side of road. It would start but when you put in drive or reverse anything..the gears seemed as if it was in neutral. The car would not move.! I bought new. Kept up with anything that needed done. This could have killed my son!! no warning lights came on. Didnt overheat. Just cut off.
