Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I REACHED A RED STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR WAS MOTIONLESS. THE CAR WOULD REV UP BUT WOULDN'T MOVE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC ONLY HAS 89727 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH SERVICE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT HONDA CIVICS IN THIS MODEL YEAR ARE NOTORIOUS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AS WELL AS SOME OF THEIR OTHER MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL OR ADMIT TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS THAT ARE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD OR AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY AND THIS HAPPEN. THANKFULLY, I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME...THE COST OF A NEW TRANSMISSION IS COSTLY AND WILL BE A HUGE FINANCIAL BLOW TO ME RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN ASSIST HONDA TO REALIZE THEY HAVE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION PARTS IN THEIR 2001 HONDA CIVIC'S. *TR
