126K miles on my Civic, always maintained very well....slowed to make a left turn, then couldn't get in gear to speed up. Had to drive in low to the mechanic. Transmission failed due to a faulty fan in the radiator. Had to replace transmission. An outside fan added to avoid repeat. Other related repairs done. $4,000! from my research, I see transmission failure of a 2001 Honda Civic is very common! I didn't enter a component as "transmission" wasn't an option.

I was driving to Chicago for a wedding. Went to pass another vehicle on I-55 and when I pushed on the gas pedal the engine revved but the transmission did not catch. Let off the gas and it eventually reengaged. Continued driving and it went downhill from there to the point where the engine was working fine but the transmission would not engage in any gear. Managed to get the car to my destination, but could very easily been stranded in 0 degree weather. Had the car towed and it looks like I need a new transmission. The current mileage of my car is 140K. Went online and discovered that there are hundreds if not thousands of folks who have had the same problem. Honda it seems is aware of the problem but no recall has been issued.

A/C doesn't get cold, can't get Honda to fix as been this way since new. Brakes went bad with about 15000 miles on them. Were bad before that, still does not stop right, and has a vibraton when stopping transmission has a thumping like noise some times while idling. Had to replace strut on passanager side, couldn't get Honda to pay for all of it. I think one on driver side is bad also. Service manager told me this was a problem with the Honda Civic

The speedometer gauge will become erratic and stop functioning for a short time. This seems a bit dangerous to me. Also, the fuel gauge fluctuates too much making it difficult to know how much fuel remains.
