NHTSA Complaint #10652599 — 2001 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS TRAVELING IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS (30 MPH SPEED LIMIT), AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE THE ENGINE AGAIN. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL WOULD ONLY RESULT IN REVVING THE ENGINE, MUCH LIKE IN NEUTRAL SETTING. THE MAJOR KEY PROBLEM HERE IS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR SIGNS OF DISTRESS, FAILURE, WARNING AND ETC. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I WAS TRAVELING ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND COULD EASILY PULL OVER TO THE CURB; THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ME AND OTHERS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 80 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY... THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON SITES SUCH AS THIS: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/CIVIC/2001/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILURE.SHTML. *TR
