Problems with 2001 Honda Civic POWER TRAIN

I received a 2001 honda civic lx from my dad as a gift around the end of april, 2018. which he had spent about 2000 in the motor before giving it to me. the issues occurred with the car over heating right when we landed into las vegas which we were coming from san dimas california, it took about 3-4 hours to get back home. i had issues with my car over heating a lot which had to do with the sensors at first which had gotten replaced. than after the fan to cool down the radiator wasn't working properly to where only one fan would kick in. now out of no where my car had issues accelerating which should be investigated before somebody really gets hurt. from all the reviews thank god in the long run everybody is okay but in order for this to be recalled it's like people need to be injured or deaths need to really occur before when things like this should be fixed so serious problems don't occur in leads to death. i almost got side swiped when i had no choice but to try to move to saftey really slow which i ...

I had just gotten back from port arthur, texas. i had stopped for a traffic light in the left turn lane,and there was traffic stopped behind me, thank goodness. when the light turned green i tried to pull off, but the vehicle did not moved. a man helped me to push the vehicle out of traffic onto a parking lot . after putting the vehicle in different gears, the check engine light finally came on. i called a wrecker to pick it up and deliver it home. since then i bought a code reader and the code is a p0740. i have read where honda has problems with their transmissions. i called them and they said that my transmission was not on recall.

My daughter purchased a 2001 honda civic. it has been well maintained . she was out driving and was going up a hill and the car stopped and would not move. she got scared and put it in reverse to glide down the hill and pull to the side. needless to say it is the transmission. i have looked online for any recalls pertaining to the transmissions from honda . i came across this site and i couldn't believe how many transmission problems with this make and year. i plan to contact honda to see if they can replace it.

The automatic transmission on my honda civic suddenly failed while driving. we were driving on a narrow, curvy, hilly highway in the snow, so the incident could have resulted in an accident, but luckily did not. the car was going at about 45 mph when it suddenly lost all acceleration and came to a stop. a passerby kindly helped us push the car out of traffic while cars were whizzing by, another dangerous situation. we were 60 miles from home, and had to be towed. the car is no longer drivable. the local repair shop wants $2,200 to replace the bad transmission. *tr

While driving on the interstate, the car was no longer accelerating. while stepping on the gas the engine was revving but the speed would not increase. as i was only a short way from an exit, i was able to get off of the interstate, down the exit ramp, and to the stop light prior to the local roads as the car would still drive but only less than 40 mph. upon getting to the stop light, the car no longer responded to the gas pedal going forward, i was able to back up to a space in between turn lanes. i placed my hazard lights on and called triple a for a tow truck. my car was towed to a local auto body where i was informed the car's transmission had gone, to their surprise as the car is in "great condition". *tr

I was driving on a bitter cold day, and soon after i left it did not seem to be shifting correctly and the rpms were not responding appropriately. however, it soon "normalized", and i figured it was due to the cold, which had happened before. not but a few miles into my drive, while driving up a hill in a school zone, my car suddenly stopped accelerating/moving. the engine revved as if it was in neutral, and i could not engage into any gear - not even reverse - so i was stuck on the middle of this hill. i turned on my 4-way flashers and had to coast backwards down a hill, with oncoming traffic, and maneuvered my car into exit of elementary school, while buses were trying to leave. thank goodness there were no kids using the crosswalk. there was no warning, no indication lights, no way to prepare for this scary event. on the coldest day ever recorded in history, i had to wait over an hour for it to be towed to my mechanic. he said the transmission had completely failed on me and ...

It has not happened yet but my car is slipping gears between 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4. i will be taking it to the honda dealer before something does happen. *tr
