2015 Honda Civic

I recently bought a used 2015 honda civic, which now has 109,000 miles. the vehicle was running well until recently my acceleration is when turning corners is very low and the tires stop moving, i looked up similar issues online and saw a recall notice about the transmission, the issue can cause the tires to stall and can be extremely dangerous. my vehicle is having this exact issue and i feel this isnt coincidence. honda needs to make sure that these vehicles are fixed. i drive to work every day and i feel that my vehicle will stop in the middle of traffic.

My son just returned back to college .. .. so grateful it didn't happen then.. but the next day he was driving to the grocery store .. came to a stop at a red light.. didn't drive 10 ft when the car lost accelleration and front wheels locked up....so he turned off the car and turned it back on and proceeded to put it in drive when it started to go in reverse on its own so he turned off the car and called for a tow. this car has been in for regular maintenance since i purchased it in feb /2015. this has been a dependable car up until this point. i believe this car should have been included in the 2014/2015 recall but wasn't for whatever reason. it clearly is having the same problems as the recall is claiming. i am so grateful this did not cause my son to be in an accident... so far from home.

2015 Honda Civic

Driving on the highway at 60 mph, my car made a noise almost like a flapping sound and suddenly loses power. got to the side of the highway, called roadside assistance and towed car to service station. the car started and ran - the car went into drive, reverse and park but would not move at all. still no warning lights. the transmission needed to be replaced. there were no indications such as leakage, lights or slipping of transmission. just completel malfunction on a highway 200 miles from home. had the expense of transmission, car rental and hotel. you buy a honda for reliability and never think this would happen

2014 Honda Civic

Transmission completely failed at a stop sign a month out of warranty at 49k miles. was driving from my parent's driveway to said stop sign, around 100ft. stopped at the stop sign, tried to move and got no traction. next day had it towed, independent technician said the transmission was shot. brought it to krenzen honda in duluth, mn, they said transmission was shot. there was no suggested maintenance for the power train beforehand. honda of america is claiming i didn't perform required maintenance but did not provide any information as to what that maintenance was supposed to be. honda of america is refusing to fix it, even though there's an active recall for this model and for this failure mode (cvt being destroyed) but oddly enough not my car. this shows that there are other vehicles outside of the recall liable to have this happen. service tech at krenzen said that this happens quite frequently.

I was driving to work on i-77 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. i would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. the vehicle began to slow. i could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. the car was running but would not accelerate. i called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. the honda dealership who assessed the car said the transmission went out. there is only 100,364 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. there is a known problem (recall) with the 2015 honda civic but my vin isnt included. honda knows they need to extended or open recall to include more vins. this is hondas mess up buy putting in a faulty transmission.
