| My transmission failed in highway traffic two hours from my home. all of a sudden the car would not accelerate. if traffic had been moving faster this could have been an extremely dangerous situation. there were no warning signs whatsoever. being so far from home i had no choice but to tow it to the nearest transmission shop where they told me my transmission had failed due to a faulty torque converter. i looked this up and found hundreds and hundreds of complaints from honda owners that had the same issue. why has this part not been recalled?! honda owes me $2,200.00 and will be lucky if i ever buy from them again. | |||

| My 2001 honda civic ex srs light came up last week. this car had lot of issues since i bought in 2000 december 1. radio replaced 1 month after purchase. 2. right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. it failed again in 2005. i had it replaced again in 2005 for $500. 3. side airbag light reset within 2 years. it came back again in 2000. the dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor. 4. front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. in 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work. 5. replaced front struts in 2006 6. power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. srs light came up and stays on in 2006. don't know what it will take to get this repaired. overall i think 2001 civic is a piece of junk. *jb | |||
