Consumer Description

After owning my car for 2 years I got curious about transmission fluid and wanted to check it, when I couldn't find I went to Google and discovered I had a plug and no dipstick, I Googled where the plug was located and found out it was missing either since I bought it or sometime it came out in the first 2 years. I just got through going through forums and group discussions and I've learned that this is an extremely extremely extremely common issue and people's transsmissions are failing while driving and locking up the front wheels. I'm very scared of what might happen to me. I'm at 90k miles and all the reports seem to be around 70k to 120k miles. I don't want it to fail with my daughter in the car and on top of that people are saying it's costing them 6000 dollars to fix the transmission after it fails. All of this is due to the transsmission plug missing. Please for my sake and all other honda owners just look up "honda civic tran plug missing" and you will find 100s of reports from many sources
