SERVICE BRAKES, AIR, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY CAR WAS PARKED ON THE RIGHT HAD SIDE OF THE ROAD, FRONT WHEELS TURNED TOWARDS THE CURB. I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL OVER THE SIDEWALK AND UP INTO A FRONT YARD, SLOWING DOWN OVER A BONSAI TREE. I SHIFTED THE GEARS INTO REVERSE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED BACKWARDS, STILL OUT OF CONTROL (BRAKES DIDN'T WORK) UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A TREE ON THE SIDEWALK AND CAME TO A HALT. I HAD A PASSENGER AND 2 OTHER WITNESSES BUT HONDA SAY THEY CAN NOT "DUPLICATE" THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. DT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) EQUIPPED IN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HX PRODUCES A RUMBLING SOUND AT LOW RPMS (APPROX. 1500 RPM). THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTICED BY OTHER 2001+ CIVIC HX CVT OWNERS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON AN INTERNET SITE FOR CIVIC HX CARS (HTTP://GROUPS.YAHOO.COM/GROUP/HONDACIVICHXCVT). A COUPLE PEOPLE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND SOME TOOK THEIR CAR IN TO GET THE CVT PROBLEM "FIXED". THE PROCEDURE TO FIX THE PROBLEM CONSISTS OF FLUSHING THE CVT 3-6 TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY RESOLVED AFTER FLUSHING BUT IN SOME CASES THE PROBLEM RETURNS LATER. I HAVE ENCOURAGED MY FELLOW HX OWNERS TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AS EVERY ONE OF US (2001 AND 2002 HX CVT OWNERS) HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
5 SPEED - ENGINE STALLS WHILE IN FIFTH GEAR. HAVE TO PULL CAR OVER AND RESTART. CAR TAKEN REPEATEDLY TO REPAIR AND NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND. FINALLY LOOKED UP RECALLS ON INSURANCE COMPANY'S WEB SITE AND SAW RECALL FOR ENGINE SWITCH. TOOK CAR TO DEALER TO REPAIR AND EGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. STALL HAPPENED AGAIN. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON CARS IN MY VIN SEQUENCE. SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN FOR REPAIR. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHY THE CAR KEEPS STALLING. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING IN 5TH GEAR AT 50+ SPEEDS. SITUATION IS SCARY BECAUSE OF THE SPEEDING TRAFFIC AROUND ME. NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO. DT
