WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO "LAG" OR DELY TO ENGAGE AND ACCELERATE. RECENTLY WHEN AT A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AND CAR JUDDERED, WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE CAR, AND ALMOST GOT ME T-BONED. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SPORTS CAR BUT WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE CONFIDENTLY TO WORK WITHOUT THE WORRY OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE NOW, THE RPM'S RAISE TO 1,500-2,000 RPM BEFORE THE CVT STARTER CLUTCH ENGAGES AND JERKS THE CAR FORWARD. THERE IS ALSO A WHINE COMING FROM THE CVT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 62,000 MILES CURRENTLY WHICH IS NOT A LOT. I JUST HAD HIGHER STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS FROM SUCH A REPUTABLE CAR MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION LOOKING OVER THIS COMPLAINT AND HOPEFULLY TO HELP ME GET MY CAR SAFELY BACK ON THE ROAD.
TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND ULTIMATE FAILURE.

HELLO, WE HAVE THIS HONDA CIVIC 2004 HYBRID WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS AROUND 68K. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUES BUT HONDA SAYS THERE THEY ARE NOT LONGER ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. THE REPAIR NOW COST MORE THAN THE VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN HELP ME WITH ABOUT THIS ISSUE?
I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE FROM THE RAMP AND THE PASSENGER SIDE, SEAT SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. HONDA SHOWS NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR MY CAR. A RECALL FOR THE MAIN AIRBAGS HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE. FORTUNATELY THERE WASN'T ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME, OR THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN INJURED.

IN 2004 I PURCHASED A 2004 CIVIC HYBRID. IN 2011 THE IMF BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW 4 YEARS LATER THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR IS LIKE NEW BECAUSE I TOOK SUCH GOOD CARE OF IT. IT HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES ON IT. HONDA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 11 YEARS FOR THAT BATTERY. SINCE THIS CAR IS A 2004 HONDA WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE 4 YEAR OLD BATTERY. THEY HAVE QUOTED A PRICE OF $2800 TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WHICH IS ABOUT THE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN SUPPORTING A YOUNG WOMAN, WHO IS PREGNANT AND WAS USING MY CAR TO GO TO WORK SO SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HERSELF AND HER CHILD. ON HER 21ST BIRTHDAY I GAVE HER THE CAR. WITHIN DAYS THE IMF LIGHT CAME ON AND TODAY THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. NOW SHE IS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK AND EARN MONEY TO SUPPORT HERSELF AND HER SOON TO BE BORN BABY. I GAVE HER THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEPENDABLE, WELL CARED FOR, MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.
OUT OF THE BLUE MY HONDA REAR BUMPER STARTED PAINT CRACKING. MY CAR IS IN PRESTINE CONDITION AND I'M REALLY PISSED THAT THE CLEAR COAT WOULD DO THIS! !!
TAKATA RECALL - I WAS HEADING STRAIGHT TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND GOT IN A HEAD ON AUTO ACCIDENT WITH THE SIDE OF A SEMI TRUCK THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD NOT SEE THE SEMI TRUCK TURNING IF FRONT OF ME BECAUSE MY VIEW WAS HIDDEN BY ANOTHER SEMI TRUCK AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE AIR BAGS RECALL SERVICE ABOUT A YEAR AGO BECAUSE OF THE TAKATA RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND IT RESUMED TO NORMAL HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON WITH CODE 4-1 WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED BY TO BE THE RIGHT FRONT SEATBELT TENSIONER FAILURE. EACH TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES, HONDA COVERED THE COST UNDER ITS LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED, HONDA REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE DEALER REPLACE THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HONDA ISSUED NOTICE TO DEALERS SAYING THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HONOR HONDA'S LIFETIME SEATBELT WARRANTY. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA (N012015-04-0301347) AND HONDA REFUSED TO HONOR ITS WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE REPLACEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED UNDER ITS LIFETIME WARRANTY ON SEATBELTS.
WHILE DRIVING CAR JERKS AND JUMPS FROM START. CAR HAS STOPPED IN PLACE AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM.
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. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS ON 5 MAY 2013, PAYING $4600 UP FRONT AND THE FINAL $200 LESS THAN A MONTH LATER. THE CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS (STARTING PROBLEMS, BATTERY REPLACED TWICE, WRONG WHEEL SIZE WHEN BOUGHT, BROKEN WHEEL STUD, SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN HARD TO FIND AND FINALLY THE CARS WHEEL ROLLED OFF THE CAR WHEN I WAS LEAVING ARREST AREA) SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THERE HASN'T BEEN A STRAIGHT MONTH WHERE THE CAR HAS BEEN RELIABLE I RAN INTO PROBLEMS THIS WEEK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR INSURED. EVERY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT I APPLIED TO WILL NOT INSURE MY CAR BECAUSE OF A SALVAGE/REBUILT TITLE OF WHICH I WAS PREVIOUSLY UNAWARE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE TITLE, THOUGH I HAVE ASKED EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS FOR IT SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER BECOMING FRUSTRATED WITH EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS, I MADE AN ATTEMPT AT GETTING THE CAR'S TITLE MYSELF FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DRIVER SERVICES. WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT MY CAR?S TITLE I DISCOVERED THE TITLE WAS BEING HELD BY THE DDS BECAUSE EFFICIENCY MOTOR CARS HAD REPORTED THE WRONG ODOMETER READING. THE FORMER READING BEING 159,XXX FROM THE PREVIOUS TITLE HOLDER AND 148, 074 WHEN SOLD TO ME. (MAYBE A FRAUDULENT ROLL BACK?) THIS IS ALSO HOW I DISCOVERED THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SALVAGED, WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME. SO, WHEN I FINALLY GET MY TITLE, THE TITLE WILL BE SALVAGE/REBUILT. *TR

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. *TR
HONDA REFUSES TO INCLUDE MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN SOUTH CAROLINA, IN THEIR AIRBAG RECALL.

IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG THE CAR SAT ON THE LOT IN SOUTH CAROLINA BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED. THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT HONDA DOES NOT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS, JUST LIMITING THE COST OF ITS RECALL. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD BANGING SOUND AS IT ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.
THE TRANSMISSION IS "FAILING" ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. IT COULD FAIL THIS WEEK, OR NEXT MONTH. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 126,000 MILES ON IT, AND I HAVE DONE ALL THE REQUIRED TIMELY MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, THE DEALER SAID THIS JUST "HAPPENS" SOMETIMES TO THESE CARS. IN SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH OTHER HONDA CIVIC HYBRID OWNERS DISCUSSING THE FAILING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THE FACT THAT HONDA WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OR ADMIT FAULT. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HONDA/CIVICHYBRID/TRANSMISSION-FAILURE-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0B3259/0. *TR

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. *TR

MY VEHICLE WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP SHUDDERS FOR JITTERS WHEN YOU GO. THIS SEEMS TO SLOWLY BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID ON REGULAR INTERVALS WITH HONDA CVT OEM TRANSMISSION FLUID. ALSO MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CONSTANTLY ON. THIS HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE JUST NEVER BOTHERED TO TAKE IT IN FOR FEAR THAT THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE TO FIX AN ITEM THAT I FEEL FOR SAFETY REASONS HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. *TR
