problem #2

Apr 142008

Civic 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,600 miles
The shift lock mechanism on the 2001 Honda Civic will occasional remained locked and not allow me to shift from park into any gear. Usually I can get it to free up by depressing the brake pedal several times. Once while out late at night, it would not go at all, and I had to put a screwdriver into the emergency release hole to get the car into gear.

However, the dealer wants to charge for the work. Consumer is meeting with the Honda representative on April 30, 2004. After the meeting with the representative the decision was made to trade the vehicle in because the vehicle was not reliable.
