2000 HONDA CIVIC Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC WAS RECENTLY REPAIRED DUE TO A MINOR FENDER BENDER WITH A CURB. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS PART OF THESE REPAIRS WITH A TRANSMISSION FROM A SALVAGE YARD. WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER A DIAGNOSTICS TEST, THE CODE P0240 CONTINUED TO SHOW UP AFTER BEING RESET NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS LIGHT TURNS ON ABOUT THREE MILES OF DRIVING AFTER BEING RESET. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS CODE AND THE HANDFUL OF CAUSES OF IT TO APPEAR, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME VEHICLES WILL NOT EVEN BE RUNNING DUE TO IT. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AROUND 50-60MPH WITH JUST A DELAYED SHIFT. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE SHOWS THIS CODE MAY BE REMOVED BY CHANGING THE TCC SOLENOID, TRANSMISSION AND OIL FILTER, BUT IN MOST CASES; REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA CIVIC DX. MY TRANSMISSION GAVE ME NO WARNING IT WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON TOP OF A BRIDGE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I COASTED TO THE ENTRANCE OF A GAS STATION. I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED 2 MINUTES TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. IT WENT FOR ABOUT A MILE THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED HOME. IT'S BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE. I BEEN HAVING TO FIND A RIDE TO WORK AND TO DO ERRANDS. I BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT...

2000 HONDA CIVIC LX AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT HARD ON MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC LX WHICH HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. THEN THE GEARS STARTED SLIPPING AND DELAYING, SO I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT (LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP). THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. WE JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN OUR OTHER HONDA (1997 HONDA ACCORD WITH 150,000 MILES) LAST WEEK, AND THIS PROBLEM WAS A HUGE SHOCK TO US. WE ARE REPLACING TWO HONDA TRANSMISSIONS WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD!!! I THINK THAT IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A 2000 HONDA CIVIC WITH LESS THAN 73,500 MILES ON IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. OUR OTHER HONDA TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OUR CAR SLOWED DOWN SO RAPIDLY. FOR NOW,...

THE CAR WOULD NO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. DEALER CLAIMED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND MANUFACTURER HAD NO PRIOR COMPLAINTS. AN EXPENSIVE PCV VALVE WAS REPLACED. *JB

WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND THEN TOOK OFF THERE WAS SEVERE HESITATION, AND VEHICLE SHUDDERED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED THREE TIMES, AND VEHICLE WAS GIVEN BACK TO THE CONSUMER. THIS VEHICLE HAD THREE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED, AND TWO TRANSMISSIONS OVERHAULED. *AK

THE PROBLEMS I RECENTLY FACED WITH MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC VP MODEL:1. TRANSMISSION SPONTANEOUSLY SKIP GEARS AND CAUSES MY CAR TO JERK AND LOOSE CONTROL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. 2. WHEN THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS/SLOWS DOWN THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SKIPS OR DO NOT DOWNSHIFT SMOOTHLY, THUS CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. CAUSES MINOR STRAINS TO THE PASSENGER'S AND THE DRIVER'S NECK. 3. WHENEVER I OR MY FAMILY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WE GET STATIC SHOCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR A FAMILY WHO HAVE A BABY OR CHILDREN. 4. CAR DIES WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND OTHER PRIMARY CAR FUNCTIONS. THIS UNCERTAIN EVENT CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL FATALITY OR SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENTS.*AK

AT 50MPH AND WITH NO WARNING TRANSMISSION WILL AUTOMATICALLY SWITCH TO LOWER GEAR. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DISENGAGE OUT OF GEAR WHEN THE CONSUMER STOPS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE WARMING. *YH

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN BRAKING, TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT DOWN ON A SLIGHT TO MODERATE INCLINE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK HALF OF THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITHOUT WARNING AT UP TO 55 MPH UNDER LIGHT TO MODERATE BRAKING. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THERE IS A METALLIC CLACKING OR KNOCKING NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARMED. *JG

CONSUMER STATES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON A SLIGHT DOWNHHILL BETWEEN 35 TO 55 MPH AND APPLYING VERY LIGHT TO MODERATE BRAKING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT GEARS FROM OVERDRIVE TO THIRD GEAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP UP ONE INCH EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS SLOWING DOWN. THERE IS A METALLIC CLACKING OR KNOCKING NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARMED UP IN GEAR AT IDLE WITH THE BRAKE ON. *TT

HESITATING BEFORE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO GEAR WHILE STOPPING AND GOING. ALSO, TRANSMISSION LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING AT IGHHAWY SPEED AND CATCHES ITSELF INTERMITTENTLY. VEHICLE BEEN IN / OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON THREE OCCASIONS. INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK
