POWER TRAIN
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

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.

STEERING, WHEELS
ON AL SR149 "GREEN SPRINGS HIGHWAY," SOUTHBOUND, LESS THAN 500 FEET FROM THE OXMOOR RD INTERSECTION, IN THE RIGHT LANE, I HIT A POTHOLE WITH MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE POTHOLE WHILE DRIVING, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP IT FROM KNOCKING THE WHEEL OUT OF ALLIGNMENT AND BURSTING THE TIRE. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY TOOLS TO CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF I-65 AFTER MY TPMS SENSOR WENT OFF. IF I HAD NOT DECIDED TO BUY A SPARE TIRE MONTHS AGO, I WOULD BE SET BACK AT LEAST $150 DOLLARS. PLEASE BE MORE VIGILANT IN ENSURING SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS IN THE FUTURE.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR, I REALIZED THAT THE FILL PLUG OR DIPSTICK OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION KEEPS POPPING OUT OF THE FLUID HOLE SPILLING OIL ALL OVER THE TRANSMISSION METAL CASE. THE ISSUES SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG OTHER HONDA CIVIC 2014 OWNERS. I NOTICE THAT THE ISSUES IS MORE COMMONLY AFTER TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY TO LONG DISTANCES. THE ISSUE ALSO CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN DRY AFTER SPILLING ALL THE FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE, AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL VEHICLES TO FIX THE ISSUE.

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.
