My transmission went out without any warnings. After doing some research there was a recall that was issued but my car wasn't included because it was only for the 2015 models manufactured before November 2014. But it was the same symptoms I lost acceleration and the front wheels lock up while driving. I only had little bit over 90000 miles on the car. I did reach out to Honda but all they told me was I was out of warranty and my car wasn't included in the recall and I need to take it to the dealership and even it's the same issue as recall they could not promise me they would get it fixed for me. I do not expect to be reimbursed for the transmission replacement but I want this to be looked into so other people won't have to go through the same thing as I did. I was stuck on highway in the middle of night and had to get my car towed. Please investigate this case. I was on I-77 (charlotte nc)driving home and the car stopped I was fortunate enough to pull over to the side without getting hit by another car. I barely made it. And for Honda, not everyone can afford to pay to go to the dealers to get their car looked at. I'm uploading the estimate but the cost is little bit higher due to adding 2 year warranty. It came out to be around $2800.

Noticed the cvt transmission fill plug laying on top of the transmission. Put the cvt fill plug back in and drove 30 min to destination. Parked at destination and checked fill plug to see it laying on top of the transmission again. I suspect the cvt transmission is building pressure and blowing the fill plug out, allowing contaminants to enter the transmission and ruin it.

Found a plug sitting on top of my transmission while checking my engine oil, wiper fluid, etc. The hole it came out of is surrounded in fluid. I was parked in a walmart parking lot in midday when I found it. Don't know how long it's been out.

The vehicle then was towed to bob howard Honda (13201 N kelley ave, Oklahoma city, ok 73131) and it was confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 66,084.

- Overland Park, KS, USA

While driving on the highway at 70mph, the engine RPM rapidly increased with no acceleration. The driver was able to cross 4 lanes and get to the shoulder safely. Multiple warning lights came on to include: Check engine, check transmission, power steering, hill start, and TPMS. The car would not shift gears other than park or neutral. The engine would respond normally when the pedal was pressed but was not engaged by the drive train. The car was towed to a Honda dealer that found the transmission drive pulley had broken requiring a totally new transmission. NHTSA recall number 15V574000 was referenced but Honda would not accept it for coverage or as a causal issue. Service department members at the dealer admitted that that recalled issue was at fault for what happened to the vehicle. Honda recall still refused that the car was not affected by the issue listed in 15V574000 as it was not tied to the VIN in the Honda database. Car indications and maintenance reports list the same indications and problems listed in the recall.

Car stopped propelling forward as if transmission suddenly went out while I was driving on interstate 29 just before the on ramp to interstate 80 at steady speed (not speeding, not accelerating...just went out as I was driving). No clunks, jolts, loud noises...the ability to accelerate was just gone. Coasted to the side of the road. No gears would engage when I tried to put it in gear. The handle moved, but engaged with nothing. Transmission fluid had been changed in June 2020. This happened on Sept 28, 2020. Light noise at parking lot before that on acceleration. I stopped and looked at it, but nothing obvious. It was dangerous in that there was nothing I could do except coast off to the side of the road. There was construction there, but fortunately I could pull over before the actual on ramp, but that particular curve is dangerous because it's very busy where two interstates cross so I was stalled in a bad place. Don't know the parts or invoices yet. (this box is so small I can't see the whole paragraph. I can only see two lines at a time.)

While driving this Civic at approximately 40 mph, it suddenly started surging and decelerating. All lights lit up on the dashboard and became difficult to steer. Had to cut off traffic to pull to the side of the road. It was taken to the local Honda dealer for inspection. They called a day later and said: "the drive pulley shaft no good. Need new transmission, want to replace"" I did some research and saw the recall for many Honda for the same problem. In discussing this with the dealer, they refused to assist since its not a recall car. I get it but: Its the same part! further, the car is managed by a 'maintenance reminder'. it tells you when to change fluids/perform maintenance based on driving habits. Not once did the transmission service announcement light up. The dealer said its our fault because we didn't complete a service at 30K intervals. Absolute nightmare. Who has 7K for a transmission on a 15K car??"

2/11/20, 7:10am, after driving approximately 12 miles, my '15 Honda Civic ex started running like a tire might be flat. No warning lights. Headed to nearest air approx. 1/2 mile away. After stopping at traffic light stepped on the accelerator but car when nowhere. Pushed out of traffic.restarted several times. No change. Then every possible warning light lit up.attempted to push to nearby lot but wheels were locked. Googled and discovered a recall started in Oct '15 (see NHTSA 15V-574) on '15 Civics manufactured 1/16/14-11/6/14 to prevent just such a failure. Mine was made in 10/14 but my VIN wasn't included.sought after-warranty consideration from Honda.had car towed to nearest dealer.code reader showed P0793 intermediate shaft speed sensor 'a' circuit no signal.tech noted dark transmission fluid coming out fill hole indicating it had become hot. (this happens during a catastrophic failure!). quoted $5,500 to install remanufactured transmission. Declined. Googled. Found NHTSA's part 573 safety recall report 15V-574. Car meets production date criteria. Vehicle type and body style not listed indicating all Civics were involved. Studied 2 lines of us-assembled sequential VIN number ranges and believe all '15 Civic ex and ex-L models were accidentally left out - except for one ex - the only vehicle listed in the 2nd of the 2 ranges. Exs and ex-ls were included in recall of Canadian-assembled Civics. Honda spoke only with the diagnosing technician and refuses to help although "cvt input shaft speed sensor" is covered for 15years/150K miles in carb-certified vehicles, which this is. Tech said Honda has directed dealers not to repair engines or transmissions. Don't even open - just replace. Have spoken w/ other '15 ex owners whose vehicles were also not recalled. Numerous reports online of '15 Civic owners that experienced same failure and VIN wasn't included in recall.

- Clarksville, TN, USA

I was driving on I-84 home from college and the car made a loud click sound, at which point I lost all drive. The car began decelerating and I was forced to pull over to the highway shoulder while cars around me were traveling at highway speeds. I was in fear for my life. The car engine runs fine, but does not move in any gear. The issue has been diagnosed as a transmission failure. I had to pay to get the car towed 80 miles to my home, and now must also face the cost of replacing the transmission (tow bill attached). My car is only at 110K miles and has always been serviced at the appropriate time. The transmission should not be failing, let alone abruptly while driving. There appears to have been a transmission recall for Honda fit and Civic 2014-2015, but my VIN was not recalled. (campaign number 15V574000) this needs to be investigated by the NHTSA immediately, as it poses a serious concern to driver safety. I have counted over 10 reports of incidents in the last 6 months where owners lost all acceleration while driving. I have listed the NHTSA id numbers below. I encourage others with this issue to come forward to we can get this resolved. 11311307 11311181 11306809 11298039 11296711 11292563 11290218 11289222 11287571 11278148

Only have 58,000 miles on my Civic. The engine is stalling out and sometimes not moving when I put my foot on the gas going from stationary to in motion. This particularly happens when it sounds like it's shifting from stopped up to first gear. It has also been giving me very low gas mileage.
