Civic Hybrid

  • 55,900 miles
This car has an automatic transmission. When in reverse it struggles to move and Honda says the transmission needs to be replaced but it only has 55,900 miles on it. Honda states that only they can work on the cvt transmission and of course can control parts and labor cost and they will not sell parts to outside mechanics. It seems like a scheme to make money off of customers off of a unreliable part. Checking the internet there seems to be a lot of complaints. A normal automatic transmission replacement charge parts and labor is around $1800 but Honda wants $4200 to $4900.
