Transmission Failure
2001 Honda Civic (Page 22 of 35)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2001 Civic has transmission problems, transmission problems & more transmission problems. Did we mention transmission problems? And a dangerous defect with the front airbag that didn't get recalled for 10 years.
Although eventually the defective 2001 Civic airbag inflators were fixed under recalls in 2011 & 2013, that meant for 10 to 12 years airbags were activating with excessive force where metal fragments went shooting into passengers when the airbag deployed.
As for the 2001 Civic's transmission woes? Honda conducted a major transmission recall in 2004 & settled a class action lawsuit for defective transmissions in 2006. But, neither the recall or the lawsuit included the 2001 Civic.
Last thing to consider - the 2001 Civic is the most-recalled car ever, closely followed by the 2002 Civic & the 2001 Accord. The 2001 Civic is the 4th most-recalled vehicle overall, only a Ford truck & two Ford vans have more.

I now have a Honda Civic with the famous transmission problem. My daughter was out of town, driving the car I thought would be safe transportation for her, when it stalled at a red light. I looked at this website and when I called 2 Honda dealers they almost laughed at me and said they had not heard of this problem with the civics. I told them to look at the internet!! They have offered no help with payment for the repair, a rebuilt transmission, with a cost of 2894.00. The car will have to be towed to the dealership so there is another 50.00. I plan to call Honda America tomorrow as I have gotten the money together-thanks to Uncle Sam, to get the car fixed and see what, if anything they offer!! The car I bought so my daughter would be safe left her stranded. The car I bought for its reputation as "dependable" with a long lifespan is dead!! The repair money does not come easy for anyone, especially a single parent whose daughter is in college so I will plead my case to Honda America but I'm not expecting much and will not do business with Honda again. I drive an American car with 182,000 miles and have very few repairs done to this car--America may be the way to go. I will join a Class Action suit if one is prepared. Wish me luck tomorrow!!!!
