This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I just bought this car from the dealer last week (96 Honda Civic with 140,000 mi). I noticed right away that when I press the gas, it revs up a little and catches. Basically, its choppy when I press onto the gas and it sounds like the common recall. It seems dangerous bc it shakes the vehicle a bit.
After slowing to make a turn or other maneuver, transmission shifts roughly as you accelerate unless the gas pedal is depressed very slowly and carefully. I'm assuming the car is downshifted to 1st or 2nd gear, but there's a violent jerk as you increase the speed from there and I'm afraid this might harm my transmission, so I try to "baby" it, but I hate that I can't accelerate normally.
Transmission blewout. Honda made this type of transmission for only one year. Consumer was unable to purchase another transmission for vehicle. Only Honda could repair this component for $ $4000.
This vehicle has been recalled for emission problems. My car has had 3 emmission related repairs with a 6 month period. It resulted in a transmission problem that I was told was not covered.
