[XXX] vin has the same issue for transmission failure as for the recall notice issued for all the honda Honda has issued recalls for certain Honda Civic models with Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) due to software issues that may affect the transmission's performance and durability. For example, in 2015, Honda recalled the 2014-?"2015 Honda Civic and 2015 Fit due to an issue with the CVT control software. In some CVT operation modes, the software was programmed to use high hydraulic pressure, which could put a lot of stress on the drive pulley shaft.

An incident took place where a vehicle hit mine on in the front end when the vehicle was parked about 3 weeks prior. August of 2022, one of my vehicles pistons flew out the side of the engine and thankfully onto the ground not injuring or killing anyone, waited and waited for AAA as there were issues getting them, the vehicle was brought to Vermette Auto Body in Feeding Hills MA, the insurance denied the claim for the engine after multiple experts saying it was not collision/insurance related that it was mechanical/manufactuor. The manufacturer when contacted at Balise Honda stated there was nothing they could do. The vehicle is now $10,000 in debt with at least 8,000 dollars worth of repair and considering the piston and rod were the culprit and there is now recalls on the other years I wanted to bring mine forward because I am now in substantial debt due to this and no vehicle nor the ability to purchase a new one. Prior the the incident I had to replace the alternator, Transmission, Blower motor as well. I put new brakes and rotors on too just prior and now the vehicle can-??t move and it is parked at my grandmothers and i am [XXX] in College and this really put me in the hole and I have no vehicle. I hope this can be looked into and the resolution the replacement of the engine and anything else needed to complete the work and assist with a substantial payment to Ally Financial for the vehicle to help me get back on track with payment. or issue a new vehicle taking the old one off my hands and covering the costs to register it and taxes.

I was driving home from work and as I took off from a standstill, I accelerated and my car began to reach 4000-5000 RPM immediately but my speedometer read 4-6 mph. I made it to through the intersection and drove until I reached a safe parking lot. It began puttering through the parking lot, almost jerking, but sounded like I was accelerating at top speeds. Then, it stopped completely. I had it towed to a mechanic that I trust and it turns out that my transmission plug/cap was missing entirely, and all my transmission fluid leaked out without any notice, warning light, or message. I had driven without the cap for days likely before the car began to fail. I was alone and driving in the dark when it occurred which made me panic even more trying to get out of the road in rush hour traffic. After the tow truck began to drive away, I found this puddle of transmission fluid on the concrete. After the mechanic inspected and diagnosed all the damages/failures, he informed me that my entire transmission needs to be replaced along with other affected parts including a pump, new transmission cap, and transmission fluid. I found several other complaints reported to NHTSA about others having the same transmission failure and missing transmission cap/plug. This is my daily driver to/from work as well as transportation for me to take my parents to doctors appointments. Now, not only am I without a mode of transportation to work/medical appointments, but I am having to replace or rebuild the transmission. I was quoted $5366 for a new transmission-??WITHOUT labor, replacement cap, new fluid. All for a $25 cap that popped off-??NHTSA or Honda need to address this issue and find a solution. I could have been injured trying to navigate to a safe place while my car was stalling and sputtering.

I recently went in for an oil change and was told my transmission cap was missing. I have not had any work done on my car since the last oil change and no one touched the transmission fluid. The cap isn't even placed somewhere on the engine- it's just gone! I've driven hundreds of miles with no cap and there is no telling what debris has gone into the transmission fluid now. I will have to do a complete transmission fluid flush and replacement plus buy a new cap. I have seen others having the same issues as me and was told to report this to the NHTSA. This is my daily driver and I take children back and forth to school on the interstate daily. If my transmission had gone while I was driving I don't know what could have happened.

This has also happened to handfuls of others.

My 2015 Honda Civic has 69070 miles on it. My car will straight out just stop in the middle of the road. The breaks and gas will stop engaging. This has been happening since late March of 2021, and continues to happen at least once a week.There-??s still power as the outside lights, radio, dash lights are all still on and functioning. I took the car to a Honda dealership and they said it was the REC VSA modulator. So I have had to replace the REC VSA modulator. The car ran beautifully for a whole week, then it started again. I took it to another auto shop and had them diagnose the car and they changed the MAP sensor, and the main engine bay fuse. I-??ve had the alternator and started checked and they-??re both fine. The 9th gen honda civics have electrical and computer issues and Honda should be held responsible because they-??re a safety issue. I am so afraid of what could happen I only take my car to work and home. Something needs to be done about these issues.

On 5/14/2020 in the afternoon, I parked my 2015 Honda Civic ex L in my driveway and took groceries in the house. I came back out within a few minutes and there was a fire starting in the front of the engine (battery area). The battery was installed less than 9 months ago at a Honda dealership. I now find out Accord were recalled for battery fires, why not Civics ?

My car was involved in an accident last night after being stopped on the freeway. While driving on the freeway I noticed my car driving strange( sounding and feeling like it was in the wrong gear) moments later the check engine light came on and 2 warnings in the dashboard about my engine and transmission systems. My car begin to decelerate, coming to a complete stop in the middle of the freeway and being hit in the rear by another driver. I found this very strange and dangerous due to my car being a 2015 and properly maintained. I would like to know what happened.

- Desoto, TX, USA

The car slowed down while driving on city streets, and then stopped completely. Also when I stopped or was slowing down, made a turn or braking the same thing occurred. This happened several times on individual days. I put on my flashing hazard lights to prevent being hit from behind on busy streets. I have read about his happening to several other drivers when I was researching it online. This is a very dangerous situation. I do not feel safe driving his car, it's like russian roulette. I am having it checked out tomorrow at a Honda dealer.it may take a while for diagnosis of the cause. I was surprised that this was not listed as a recalled vehicle. Since his has happened on different dates I will just list the latest date below.

My daughter (17 years old) was driving at 35 miles in leona valley ca on last Friday 2015 her Honda Civic (7,000 miles on odometer). Her car low-pressure air light came on and then car started to swerve violently left to right. Within few minutes the car brakes stopped functioning (according to her, it felt she was pushing on air when she pressed the brake paddle) and then the steering wheel locked. The car ended up on its side and caught fire. It started a brush fire (25 acres) here in ca. When my daughter and her two friends tried to get out the door, the other door won't open. They had to jump out of the sun roof. The question I have is what caused the fire and why did the car's brakes and steering wheel locked" what do I need to do to find out what needs to happen in order to get to the bottom of root cause of the accident"
