POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
BRAND NEW 2009 CIVIC SI SEDAN HAVE NOTICED GRINDING OF 2ND AND THIRD GEAR SYNCHROMESH, AND ALSO A LOT OF NOTCHINESS WHILE SHIFTING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RESPONDED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL, UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON 06-08 TRANSMISSIONS. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY WAS RESOLVED WAS NOT. I WORK ON CARS SO I REPLACED THE MANUAL TRANS FLUID IT CAME OUT AS BLACK AS MOLASSES, THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND I DON'T FEEL THAT HONDA WANTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN MANY OTHER SI'S AND THE OTHERS HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY SILK SHIFT. I WOULD APPRECIATE HELP IN POSTING A BULLETIN TO WATCH OUT FOR THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2009 MODELS THEY MAY NOT BE FIXED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME WHENEVER AND LEAVE ME A MESSAGE I WILL GET BACK TO YOU. SINCERELY: *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 HONDA CIVIC IS THE CAR I OWN, AND FROM READING OTHER REPORTS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE LATELY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL UNTIL THIS MORNING, SUDDENLY STARTING TO SLIP ON THE WAY TO WORK. UPON LEAVING EARLIER TODAY MY CAR WASN'T GOING INTO GEAR AT ALL, TRANSMISSION IS SHOT! WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A PRODUCT RECALL IN THE WORKS FOR THIS...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IN '01 CIVIC LX WITH 66K MILES. ERROR CODE P0740 (TORQUE CLUTCH CONVERTER). HONDA RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. MY OPINION IS THAT NO MODERN CAR SHOULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION REPAIR AT 66K MILES. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MOST '01 CIVICS AND HONDA IS DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC WITH ONLY 18,000 MILES ON THE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 400. TIRES. I NOTICED THAT THE REAR TIRES WERE GETTING VERY LOUD AND THEN HAD THEM ROTATED TO THE FRONT, WHICH MADE THE FRONT OF THE CAR VIBRATE FROM THE THUMPING SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO D'ELLA HONDA OF QUEENSBURY, NY AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE TIRES WERE CUPPED AND THAT THIS WAS MY FAULT. DID NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE ABOUT IT AND D'ELLA WILL NOT RESPOND TO ME. I ALSO ADVISED THAT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HITTING WET PAVEMENT THE CAR WOULD SLIP ON THE PAVEMENT. REALLY JUST A UNSAFE TIRE. HAVING TO REPLACE TIRES FROM A NEW CAR AT 18000 MILES IS TOTAL BULL. EITHER THE TIRES OR THE HONDA CIVIC STILL HAVE A PROBLEM IN 2008. NO HELP FROM HONDA, D'ELLA HONDA OR BRIDGESTONE. WILL STAY AWAY FROM ALL THREE IN THE FUTURE. $600.00 FOR NEW TIRES SO FAR. *TR

VISIBILITY
DRIVER'S SIDE SUN-VISOR ON 2006 HONDA CIVIC IS NOT USABLE. WHEN PULLED DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN, THE VISOR PULLS APART. WHEN TRYING TO RETURN THE VISOR TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION, THE VISOR GETS STUCK BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GLUE BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SUN, BUT OCCURS EVEN IF IT IS AS COLD AS 30 DEGREES OUTSIDE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SHE DOES NOT KNOW HOW THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DETACHED FROM HER VEHICLE AFTER STRIKING THE OTHER VEHICLE FROM A RIGHT ANGLE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END CAME OFF OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER ADVISED HER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM SO IT CAN BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45.
