Consumer Description

I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2003. I BOUGHT IT USED AT 63,000 MILES. FOR THE FIRST 10,000 MILES, I HAD NO PROBLEMS. THEN A SLIGHT SHUDDER STARTED TO HAPPEN EACH TIME I MOVED THE CAR FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY WHEN ON AN INCLINED HILL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEY SAID WAS COMPLETELY BLACK. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THIS TIME THEY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND A "BURNISHING' PROCESS. THE PROBLEM RETURNED AGAIN IN A FEW MONTHS, AND I HAD THE PROCESS REPEATED. FINALLY I READ ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I GOT HONDA TO PARTIALLY PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT STARTER CLUTCH. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN RETURNED. NOW I AM PAYING FOR A SECOND STARTER CLUTCH BECAUSE THE SHUDDER IS WORSE THAN EVER. *TR
