Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID IS FAILING. IT'S NOW AT ABOUT 170,000 BUT THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE PROBLEMS HAVE TO DO WITH BUCKING ON ACCELERATION, JUDDERING ON ACCELERATION, AND THE CAR MOVING IN REVERSE WHEN THE GEAR IS IN DRIVE AND NOW A NOISE IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED THIS CARE NEW IN 2003 AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE EVERY 10K MI. THIS IS MY FIRST CAR SO I THOUGHT THE "BUCKING", JUDDERING AND "REVERSING WHILE IN DRIVE" WAS BY DESIGN, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL YEARS LATER THAT I GOOGLED MY CAR AND NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. JUST GOOGLE "CIVIC HYBRID TRANSMISSION". I'M NOW FACED WITH PAYING ALMOST 4000 TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. INTERESTINGLY, THERE HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS FOR OTHER HONDA PRODUCTS OF THE SAME YEAR (ACURA TL, HONDA ACCORD). I REALLY THINK THERE'S A FLAW IN TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS OF AT LEAST SOME HONDA MODELS FROM THE 2002-2006 PRODUCTION YEAR. *TR
