NHTSA Complaint #11414524 — 2014 HONDA CIVIC

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREETS WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE THE CAR ACT ERRATIC STOP AND GO STOP AND GO. I HAD TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL SO THAT I COULD CONTROL IT AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS SO GLAD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PURCHASE THE CAR USED IN APRIL OF 2015. I ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN SERVICE WAS DUE. AND TWO YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN AFTER GETTING OFF THE FREEWAY. AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD WENT OVER 100K MILES SO I HAD TO PAY $2000 TO REPLACE IT. AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO BE PAYING $2000 AGAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CTV TRANSMISSION, UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF ANY ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I PURCHASE THE CAR USED I WANTED TO SEE IF THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS. BUT I DON'T THINK THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS THE COMPLETE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. SOME WITH LOW MILEAGE LIKE MY SECOND TRANSMISSION AND MOST OF THEM FAIL AROUND 100K. I KNOW NOTHING LAST FOR EVER, AND I WILL PAY $2000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IF I CAN BE SURE THAT IT WILL NOT JUST ALL OUT OF THE BLUE LOCKUP OR BRAKE PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER
