Cvt transmission is shot.
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.
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
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.
The car started to shake like it wanted to stop but it was still moving and then it shook hard and then the engine remained running and it lost acceleration and stopped in the road.
My vehicle was showing no obvious signs of issues when purchased at about 28,000 miles 11/1/18 upon my first oil change at 39,000 miles it was noted that though transmission fluid was at safe levels there appeared to be a leak as condensation was noticed by the third party oil service technician. i was told to keep an eye out for any issues. i drove my vehicle with no obvious issues of driveway leaks or service lights on the vehicle indicating a transmission issue it also seemed to drive normally. at 43,900miles while driving the vehicle the service light came on indicating a transmission problem the drive light was blinking and my car was making a noise i never heard before. i was not able to make it to my destination as my car just stoped accelerating as i was trying to pull over on the highway. this all happened pretty quickly as the car stopped accelerating shortly after the service light came on for the very first time. the car was towed to the dealership from which i purchased the vehicle. the dealership claims the transmission was burned due to negligence by the third party oil technician removing the cap from my vehicle and not putting it back. i can say that the cap was not removed as i was in the car while it was being serviced for an oil change only. the third party company has explained that they also would not have removed the cap as transmission levels a digitally checked for my vehicle make and model. also this incident was 8 months after they last serviced my vehicle. there is no outside damage to the transmission. it is unknown how the cap was removed found unhinged by the dealership. below are photos provided by the dealership.
It was raining, i went to slow down and it was as if the front wheels locked up, tcs blinking on and off, and the tires remained pulling as if power was still being sent to the front two, locked up, tires and i had no control as the car pulled me straight forward into the side of another vehicle resulting in a collision that had me hit a stopped car so hard it spun the other car around and totaled my car. this all happened within 500 feet of where i initially pulled out onto the road i was traveling on when the car started to malfunction to the road where i attempted to turn onto to avoid the crash and could not maneuver the vehicle at all.
I was driving home on i-80 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. i would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. rpms would go to 4000. 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 auto shop who assessed the car said the transmission went out. there is only 158,000 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. the shop said it would be $5100 to replace.
I was taking my mom to work at around 4am. on my way back my car suddenly stopping in the middle of the freeway. luckily no cars were around and i was able to move it to the side of the road. the engine ran fine, but it would not accelerate or reverse. my car almost felt like it was left on neutral. once i got it towed to a mechanic they told me my transmission pretty much blew out and i had to replace it. before this incident i had a previous problem with the transmission fluid leaking. anyways i got a new transmission and shortly after (november 2019) i could feel my car jolting if i came to a sudden stop or even accelerated. when i took it back to the shop they told me it was a problem with the transmission binding. they had to replace it once again. now the car feels somewhat better, but still jerks with some stops. i've looked up my vin for recalls and nothing has come up, but this is my 3rd issue with this car. i bought it brand new and used it for daily commutes. all this started happening around 97,000-100,000 miles on the car. i have kept up with maintenance so i'm unsure why this is happening.
My civic has 52000 miles on it & has always ran perfectly fine & has been maintainanced properly since i got it. i pulled out of my driveway & it started to bog down like it wouldn't accelerate then the check transmission sensor came only dash screen & engine light came on. i then pulled over & put the car in park & the drive "d" was blinking & check emission system also popped up on dash screen. i then put it back into drive in hopes to turn it around & get it back to house it accelerated but still bogged with parking"p" lit up. i got it home turned it off & called transmission repair shops. i drove it with no problems other then check transmission & emission sensor on dash screen to shop when i got there it was rough to put in park & could hear it switch between gears when moving stick to put in park which could never hear before. after diagnosis they're saying it needs new transmission due to internal damage inside the transmission. after further research i found that this year, make & model has recalls for the exact issues going on with my car. as i should not have tramission failure at 50000 miles in a car that i maintainanced properly & drove pretty much only around my small town.
I bought my car new and have had it only 3 1/2 years. my issues started with my battery failing twice within a year of each other. i had to replace all 4 tires with new ones only a year after buying it because the tires were so worn down as if they were not new to begin with. then i had a system failure that required my car to be taken in to service for a couple days. then more recently i had a transmission piece failure that emptied my transmission fluid to the point that i was driving on the road and my car slowly stopped moving which eventually had me stranded on the side of the road for a couple hours until i was able to get towed. honestly one of the worst experiences in my life. i was by myself on the side of a wooded area while it was getting dark. when i had my car not start it was in a stationary potion. when my car had a weird system molt down i was driving and when the transmission started acting up i was also driving. when driving i was on a main street and had to pull over to the side of the road.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda civic. while the contact's son was driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and stopped in the middle of the road. the contact arrived and pushed the vehicle to the road shoulder. the vehicle was towed to priority honda (3311 peters creek rd, roanoke, va 24019, (540) 366-0888) where it was diagnosed that a new transmission was needed. the vin was not included in a recall. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 122,000.
Driving and it just cut off in busy highway.! got it to side of road. it would start but when you put in drive or reverse anything..the gears seemed as if it was in neutral. the car would not move.! i bought new. kept up with anything that needed done. this could have killed my son!! no warning lights came on. didnt overheat. just cut off.
My transmission drive pulley shaft feels damaged, it may break, the vehicle may looses acceleration and it keeps sticking
I was driving on the highway and traffic was slowing down. i was going about 35 mph. all of a sudden, it felt like i was driving on a rough road. the way it feels when they grind down a road for replacing. i turned my radio off to hear better. it sounded rough and i heard a loud pop. my accelerator then made my engine rev. my car would not accelerate. i pulled off the road and stopped. i put in park and could hear that my engine was running fine. i put into drive and my car would not go but only rev up. my car has 92,000 miles and is my daily commuter. i have serviced the transmission twice and it was due for the third oil change soon. i am an ase certified master mechanic and perform my own services. the oil for tranny service was purchased both times from yuba city honda. i have had no previous issues with this vehicle. highway miles are known to be easiest on a well maintained vehicle. i am shocked that this happened with no forewarning.
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.
I was reversing from a parking spot and when i shifted the car into drive, i recall hearing a snap and the car went about two feet before i lost all acceleration.
My honda civic 2015 was purchased new from dover honda (nh) around april 2016 and had ~83,400 miles when the problems occurred (jan 2019). before that time it worked perfectly well. no one had done any work on the car to that point aside from tire replacement and normal maintenance, but nothing related to the transmission. while my wife was taking an exit ramp off of a very busy highway (~40 mph gradual turning), there was a loud knock. the engine would rev, but there was no movement, so she pulled over to the shoulder. a variety of warning lights were lit. the car was towed to dover honda (nh). they said that the transmission fill cap was not attached (but found on the frame of the car) and a pressure sensor in the transmission was damaged and needed to replaced. it was replaced for just under $400. everything seemed to be in working order afterwards. two weeks later the same problem occurred and the car was again returned to dover honda. they said that the pressure sensor was damaged again, they surmised that a nearby shaft was hitting it occasionally causing the damage. they claimed that the transmission needed to be replaced for several thousand dollars depending on the option of new or used replacement. they also charged me another ~$100 for the diagnosis. i have a hard time understanding how a transmission fill cap being missing (assuming that it actually was missing) could allow that much contamination into a transmission to cause this kind of issue when driving on only paved roads in a low dust environment like new england. when opening the transmission there was no comment by the dealer on the fluid being terribly dirty. there is no recall notice that applies to this vehicle's vin number, but the failure mode seems very similar to notice # 15v574000. at this point i will need to have the transmission replaced
While driving i felt a vibration. about 15 miles later the rpms were high and i was unable to accelerate. the car stopped completely on a major road going up hill. there was no check engine light, no warning of any sort. the dealership service center claims it is the transmission and keep insisting that it was a faulty switch, although it has never been replaced. the transmission is completely burnt and the car's diagnostic system still does not register that there is a problem. their estimate claims: "replace transmission (dtc p0741 torque converter clutch stuck off, during inspection found transmission pressure valve loose on transmission allowing fluid to spill out, causing transmission to burn internally, dtc p0741 torque converter clutch stuck off, during inspection found transmission pressure valve loose on transmission allowing fluid to spill out, causing transmission to burn internally)"
Vehicle ( mileage 70,511 ) was about to enter a highway, when i hear a noise in the power train like a pop sound, then start loosing power and stop. i know is a recall on 2014 -15 honda civic but when i use the vin doen not show on the system honda dealer is not accepting my car for replacing my transmition and they told me to get a lawyer ...'''''car was manufactured on 2014 . i need help.
About 15 seconds entering the freeway i decided to merge. as i accelerated i heard something pop or like a clunk/thump sound, like something had shifted, then my car began to slow down. then when i stepped on the gas my rpm was moving but my cause was not. good thing i was still on the far right hand side and was able to pull to the shoulder without causing any accidents. i turned the engine off then back on. engine was fine, it started but i my car wasn't moving when i pressed the gas on drive. i tried to reverse my car but it moved very little as well. sounds like my problem reflects the recall on 2014-2015 honda civic cars regarding about the transmission, although a recall doesn't show when typing my vin.
Vehicle mileage: 73,835 description: october 27th, my transmission seems to have expired at 73,835 miles. i was sitting still in the turn lane of a 4-lane highway waiting to turn left. when i pushed the gas i heard a thump. nothing loud or scary, just a thump. none of my gears would work but the car kept running. some good ole boys pushed me from the middle of the road.
The car has a known issue as told to me by honda dealer with the pressaure player springs failing causing loud grindr noise. it happens when taking off in first gear on these cars. it is consistent with all 9th generation honda civics forums list the problem as a pressure plate. honda is attempting to charge 2800 to fix a plroblem they know is with a flawed part. when sitting in first gear and you let the clutch out the car memakes a grindr noise. one honda forum list over 52 pages of people addressing having this issue.
A recall notice was issued in september 2015 for 2014 and 2015 honda civics due to transmission failures. my 2015 civic was bought in november 2015 and on sept. 10, 2018 experienced a transmission failure similar to cars in the recall. i am writing to see if the recall is being expanded to include other cars experiencing these issues. american honda is maintaining no responsibility and referred me to nhtsa, claiming my car was outside of the recall. but the time frame and problem experienced is suspect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda civic. while approaching an intersection, the contact attempted to accelerate and the vehicle lost power without warning. the contact had to push the vehicle off the road. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. the vehicle was also towed to open road honda (50 us-1, edison, nj 08817, (732)-234-9716) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to wear and tear. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls associated with the vin. the contact was referred to nhtsa to file a complaint. the failure mileage was 120,000.
All of a sudden the car started shaking, it felt like i had a tire blowout. it was a good thing that i was slowing down for a turn and no traffic behind me. i pulled over and checked out the tires and they were okay. when i tried to accelerate again the car just jerked with a big clunking sound and then it stopped all together. i was stranded with a dead car. the car would not move at all and it only had 61,00 miles on it!!
The transmission drive pulley shaft is damaged, i was driving on the freeway and the car locked up and braked and the front wheels locked up. this is bad luckily i was on a deserted freeway and no one was behind me. this is dangerous.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda civic. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced transmission failure. the vehicle was taken to autopark honda (3630 old raleigh rd, cary, nc 27511) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired due to the repair cost. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the transmission, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v574000 (power train). the contact was also informed that the engine needed replacement due to a bent crankshaft and the vehicle was unsafe to drive. the engine was not repaired. the failure mileage was 79,000. the vin was not available.
I was driving one mile to work on a paved road. transmission sounds like it slipping when in motion, rpm goes up to 5 when i going 15 mph. car was going slow then suddenly accelerated. i immediately parked the car and am taking it to honda dealership.
Put the gear in park. left car running, while i had to manually close the garage door. car started moving and damaged the wooden back wall of the garage. my landlord owns the garage and this incident caused $ 500 in damages. this issue could easily kill a person. why does honda not report a serious issue like that. they are known to have transmission related issues.
I bought a brand new 0 miles honda civic 2015 on may 2015 ive been having a lot of problems with my suspension motor mounting had been replaces as well as axels... i'm concern about my family and my own safety i'm scared of an accident for a suspension problem since its front suspension... on the dealer they always try to avoid on telling me the cause of this matter... i would like this suspension problem to be investigate... the transmission is another problem most of the time you accelerate and the car doenst go fast and feels like slips on kicks out... i took the car to the dealer but like always they said they don't find the problem... the worst that the dealer always request me to go on a drive test with the mechanic that's not part of my job they should have qualified workers
Sticking drive by wire throttle body system , when shifting clutch is not releasing right or to the vehicle specs on the vehicle and engine vibration when idling. when starting to drive , vehicle engine vibration when driving on normal road an highway too.
Purchased 2015 honda civic (special edition) in nov, 2015. when driving the vehicle at any speed (highway or streets), when i take off my foot from the accelerator, the car "kicks" a bit, like there's something going on with the transmission. it does it more often when driving the streets. then when accelerating, it does not feel that it's changing gears properly. it "kicked" once on the highway and was pretty loud. i'm not a mechanic so it's hard for me to describe what is happening. i thought the car was just "breaking itself in" so i was not concerned. but my boyfriend says it sounds like something with the power train/drive shaft. i looked up any recent recalls on 2015 civics and there is one for the power train. i contacted the dealer but was advised my car is not affected in the recall. maybe not, but it's doing the same thing as what the recall describes. i'll be taking it in for them to look at on dec 30th, 2015.
Noticed a shudder with vehicle during 1st week of purchase. thought it was a little weird since being a new car. assumed that it was an isolated incident with regards to break in of vehicle. 2nd week of ownership on my way to work, noticed the shudder multiple times during stop and go traffic. this shudder later transitioned into a knock or pinging of some sort while jerking and accelerating on its own without any driver input. very scary at this point...got off the freeway and parked then turned the vehicle off. upon start up, vehicle still idling violently. had to get to work so just braked most of the way and drove with added caution. after work, car behaved normally on my way home with econ and air con both off. shudder is still present to this day during light to moderate acceleration at 30 - 40 mph. i am fearful of using the econ and air con together as this worsens the problem. honda and the public needs to know about this.
Purchased car with 136 miles on it. noticed the brakes made a popping sound when pedal was depressed, also a noise was heard when the car was put into different gears. took it in several times and was told nothing is wrong. maybe you are pressing to hard on the brakes.third month in i went back again for the gear shift noise and was told thats just how these civics sound.
I purchased a 2015 honda civic ex with a cvt. i can reliably reproduce a problem with the continuously variable transmission (cvt) stutters or jerks when gradually accelerating at in-town speeds (e.g., 10-40 mph). it happens most often when going from a slow speed (e.g., 10-20 mph) and gradually accelerating. a rear end collusion could take place due to the hesitation of acceleration. i took it to the della honda dealership in new york state, but honda has not issued any technical service bulletins (tsb); so they were unable to repair the problem. in other words, the dealership service department was unable to determine the necessary action to troubleshoot or diagnosis the trouble without assistance from honda. the dealership service department hooked up my car to the diagnostic tools and no service codes or out-of-spec messages appeared, so they said this is normal. there has been a lot of complaints about this particular trouble with the cvt, but honda is resisting to acknowledge the trouble. i had to pay out of pocket for changing the transmission fluid with a brand new vehicle with only 4,864 miles on it and it appeared to resolve the trouble.
