My 2001 Honda Civic (automatic transmission) will not move when I put it into gear. I tried all the gears: Drive, reverse etc. Nothing happens when I step on the gas.

- St. Paul, MN, USA

Transmission failed while driving on highway at 60mph. Car would not shift into gear and check engine light signaled. There were no warnings whatsoever. This appears to be correlated to many others complaints with the 2001 Honda Civics. I was fortunate to not have been seriously hurt when my car came to a stop. I feel as though this is a defect that needs to be recalled.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Civic. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle speed independently decreased as if it were attempting to stall. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the mechanic performed a cam shaft sensor override. The mechanic advised the contact to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The dealer discovered that the cam shaft was loose and caused friction to the sensors causing damage. The vehicle was left with the dealer where the contact was awaiting repairs. The manufacturer would not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 56,000. Updated 11/15/10 the cylinder head assembly was replaced. Updated 11/24/10

While driving through an intersection my wife's 2001 Honda Civic's engine died. After several attempts she was able to get it started again, drove it through the intersection and it died again and would not restart. She called aaa to have it towed to the only Honda dealer on our island. We asked the dealership to check and report the cause of the problem. The next day the dealer reported it had a code of "P1362" and need a new cylinder head at a cost of $5300 for parts and labor. Prior to this incident the car always ran fine and was regularly serviced by a dealer. My question is: "how can a car with 58K miles, running fine suddenly need a new cylinder head? I had the dealer reinstall the cam cover (they charged us $100) and drove it out (yes it was running). I'm worried that this will happen again and cause property damage and/or even loss of lives. If it needs a new cylinder head how can it now be running? I wouldn't imagine a cylinder head problem to be an intermittent issue. When living on a small island (kauai) you're at the mercy of the only dealer in town.

My 18 yr daughter was driving on a 4 lane interstate on a Friday in rush hour traffic. The average speed on this road at this time of day is 70-75mph. Suddenly and without warning her transmission failed. The car essentially went into neutral. Luckily she was able to maneuver the car to the shoulder. She could have easily been hit and more than likely this would have been a multicar accident. I contacted Honda and they said they only were aware of problems with the Odyssey and Accord manufactured approx. 1999-2002. I did some research and found there were numerous complaints with the Civic (our car is a 2001 Civic). How many complaints and near miss accidents will it take for Honda to be brought to task for this defect?

The contact stated vehicle stalled intermittently when the vehicle was placed in neutral. When it stalled the vehicle lost power steering and power brakes. This could have resulted in an accident. The dealership and the manufacturer have been contacted. Technical service bulletin 02-083 was issued for the problem but the dealer requested a diagnostic test at the contact's expense before they would use the technical service bulletin to fix the problem. Updated 1/11/2006. This problem occurred mostly at low altitudes in the summer with the A/C on. The consumer believes the loss of power steering and brakes when in neutral in dangerous and he thinks the vehicle should be recalled.

The 2001 Honda Civic LX I own failed on I95. My son was driving the car. There was no warning of safety lights etc. He pushed the car off the highway. The next day Honda care came and jump started the car, it did start but within a few seconds it sounded like it exploded. The engine was turned off and the car was towed to the dealer where it was purchased, coral springs Honda, in coral springs Florida. I was told that since I had purchased an extended warranty the cost of the repair would be covered but they needed my approval to take apart the engine, again the stated there would be no cost to me. Several days later I called to see what was going on with the repair. I was then told that they were waiting for the warranty inspector to come give approval before they could proceed with the work. I called again at the end of the following week and was told that no one had come but that they did not think it would be covered. I asked why and they stated that the engine had sludge which was caused by the oil not being changed enough. I stated that it was changed. Needless to say the warranty company will not cover the repair. The car has 61,000 miles on it and the oil has been changed often enough. I believe the sludge claim is bogus, I think it is a cheaply made engine that begins to fall apart the minute it starts. What can I do?

In June 2002 I complained about a cracked motor mount, at that time the vehicle had 18,000 miles. I was advised it would not be covered by the warranty unless it was broken. In October 2003 two motor mounts were bad, one was the one I originally complained about, at this time the vehicle had 38,000 miles.

When I bought the car it had 9,000 miles on it. The dealer bought it from an auction. I was hearing some tapping noise coming from hood. When I took my car for oil changed I asked the dealer about the tapping noise. They said it wasn't important and not dangerous. I took my car back to the dealer a week later and they said that they need to take the oil pan out to determine the problem. Later on they called me and said that "I drove the car in a puddle or I had a flood -which never happened-because they diagnosed" water damaged which caused cylinder # 3 connecting rod is bent and it is very dangerous to drive it. The engine needs to be replaced" I have a factory and extended warranty but Honda denies to cover it. My insurance company inspected the car and didn't see any "water damage". the insurance company also denied the cover the expense. I am very unhappy about the situation. Please feel free to advise me what to do. Thank you.

Consistent problems with check engine light in 2001, Honda Civic. Dealers had inspected vehicle several times, but problem still occurring.

I purchased a 2001 Honda Civic coupe ex, in November 2000. It has been nothing but problems ever since. Ive been to two different Honda service centers almost 20 times now. The car has 23,000 miles on it and has gone through 3 sets of brakes. The car completely died on two occasions, both needing battery to be boosted. Then all of the dashboard lights were flashing crazy. On one of those occasions, it died right in front of Honda, after they assured me that my car was fine. This has been an ongoing problem with Honda. They fail to find any of the serious problems that are continuing. The car makes all kind of rattling and clicking noises when driving, Honda finds nothing. The windows/windshield fog up, defroster does not work well, Honda finds nothing. All four tires are leaking, Honda at first find nothing wrong, now say I have to replace tires. The driver's seat is loose and rocking, Honda replaced seat track twice, problem continues, took car in again for seat, Honda finds nothing wrong. Seat rocking gets worse, making load noise when driving, afraid for safety. Now the car is getting worse, car brakes without putting foot on brake, car is sluggish, driving funny. I think this is the transmission that is going to go bad. It stalls to start very often, then completely failed twice, needing boost. Im very concerned for my safety at this point. I even reached out to Honda Consumer Affairs in California, they did not help at all, in fact they were rude and even threatened me, while I had the rental, to report the rental stolen because I asked if I could hold the rental until Honda fixed my car (especially since the car had died right in front of Honda, and to make matters worse, my car was dented, twice, while being "fixed" by Honda that day as well) I am completely disgusted with the car and the service ive gotten. There are numerous other problems I didn't list here, too many to list. I would appreciate any help in this matter, thank you.
