Consumer Description

2002 HONDA CIVIC (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2009 WITH 72K MILES. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. THERE WERE NO INDICATORS PRIOR TO THIS WHICH IS WHY IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND SEEMED OK FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND FOR TAKING IN TO BE REPAIRED. IT IS NOW 2010, 99K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON YET AGAIN AND THE CAR SOUNDS ROUGH WHEN ITS IDLING OR MOVING. HONDA REFUSES TO ASSIST WITH ANY OF THE COST. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. *TR
