The car was shuddering when accelerating after a stop. It needed the cvt clutch in the transmission replaced. This is an issue that many owners of 2004 Honda Civic hybrid have reported and Honda refuses to recall the part. There is a defect in the building of the cvt transmissions and Honda won't accept responsibility.

On 12/11/14, approximately 11:00 a.M., I started my 2004 Honda Civic hybrid and allowed it to warm up for a couple minutes due to cold weather (approximately 25 degrees F). I then drove through the parking lot, stopped at the stop sign, turned right, onto the highway and began to accelerate. The acceleration did not feel normal so I released my foot from the accelerator at about 20 to 25 miles per hour however the accelerator stayed in place and would not release. I held my foot on the brake to try to reduce speed however the accelerator continued to stick. I briefly tried pressing on the accelerator and shaking it with my foot to release it however it continued to stick and was not helping at all. The car was gaining too much speed so I went back to holding the brake. I held the brake while reaching my phone to call 911 and planned to report the situation, notify them I was about to put the vehicle in neutral or park, and that there was an infant in the vehicle. At this point, it had been occurring for a little over a mile and as I was unlocking my phone, the accelerator finally released. It slightly stuck a little more off and on briefly but did finally fully release at approximately 55 miles per hour. I turned off the highway, and as I was preparing to pull over at a safe location, the accelerator stuck again. Again, I held the brake and after a few moments, the accelerator released and I was able to stop the car without further incident. I do not feel safe ever getting behind the wheel of this car again.

Every time I start my Honda Civic hybrid from 2004 it shudders. I have spent more then the value of the car on repairs and fluid replacements which Honda does not deem necessary to pay for. This car is a dangerous lemon. It sometimes shudders going onto highways and can even just stop before starting up again. I have had near accidents dozens of times because of this faulty car. Honda made a bad car and even though people complain about it they will not issue a recall. Each time they issue a warranty bonus to try to fix the problem the whole thing either gets worse or slightly better for 1000 miles. I feel like I'm dealing with a no good used car salesmen trying to bate and switch a hybrid. But this car was bought direct from Honda. There needs to be accountability. I guarantee you that all users of 2003-04 Honda's would be a part of this case as it is a pervasive issue among the majority of hch users. We are all angry, we all asked Honda for help and we got no response. We are now looking to governmental intervention. Please help us avoid accidents, lemon cars, and misleading advertisement.
