Consumer Description

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, MY VEHICLE MAKES A JUDDERING/VIBRATING NOISE. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY HONDA IN 2008 FOR THIS VERY CONCERN, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE START CLUTCH. HONDA BURNISHED MY CLUTCH TWICE AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED, UNTIL THE SAME PROBLEM CAME UP ABOUT 15,000 MILES LATER. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR IT. I HAD MY CLUTCH BURNISHED AGAIN TODAY (COST ME $150), BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE START CLUTCH, WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $1500 WITH LABOR. IF THIS DOES NOT GET REPAIRED, MY TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL COMPLETELY, AND AT ANY TIME. LONG STORY SHORT, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THE START CLUTCHES IN 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRIDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR
