| Car has had several incidents of the third gear popping out or grinding while engaging. it is a 2006 honda civic si. contacted dealer about the issue and even though there is a technical service bulletin out from honda saying it is a known issue, they wanted $1,500 dollars to repair it. this needs to be recalled as it is a danger while driving to have your car not properly engage the gears and a quick internet search tells me there are thousands more with the same issue as me. this problem is not only an immediate issue while driving but will lead to faster clutch wear which could put the timing of repairs off of a normal schedule and a clutch failure while driving could be fatal. | |||

| Had the 3rd gear transmission problem fixed at 45,000 miles and since then it has always driven different. kept going back to the dealership and told me there was nothing wrong with it. now at 87,000 it got taken in to get the front fenders and hood re-painted because of the faulty manufacturer paint. the car started clicking before i took it in and when pressing the clutch noise would go away. they did an estimate for my throwout bearing and the next day they called me saying the vehicle would move at all, that i need it a new transmission. now the dealership expects me to pay them $4,000 in total for labor and to put a new trans in the car. i have always had problems with this dealership and had a few complaints towards honda. i also had the motor top gasket replaced because it was leaking oil and got covered under warranty since it was part of a recall. | |||

| I was driving about 25mph on a residential street when i smelled rubber burning and then my car suddenly stopped working. we had it towed to a trusted friend's shop to see what the problem was and then to fix it. we found that the tensioner bolt was broken. our mechanic has done lots of research on this problem and have found that other owners of 2006 honda civics are also having the same problem. he is in the process of trying to replace this bolt. i only have 75,000 miles on this honda and am very disappointed with this fairly new car. i hope it can be fixed. | |||

| This problem occurs only in heavy rain, specially after hitting a water puddle and getting water splashed on the undercarriage. the engine sounds much louder and the car starts to vibrate violently, the vibration is specially felt in the center armrest. this is also accompanied by a temporary loss of acceleration and a rattling sound that sounds like coming from the transmission or the undercarriage. issue have been reported on many civic 8th generation forum (ex: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/mechanical-problems-technical-chat/46938-car-loud-during-heavy-rain-help.html). i have contacted my honda dealer as well as honda hotline and they don't know what's causing the problem. and since it only occurs in heavy rain, the dealer was not able to reproduce or diagnose the problem either. *tr | |||

| 2006 honda civic sedan with 68,000 miles had two cracks in the engine block causing the coolant to leak and causing the car to overheat suddenly without any warning. also, the rear tires only last about 15,000 miles before they develop a flat spot. there are two service bulletins issued by honda on these malfunctions but unfortunately they are not admitted as a problem with the car until after the powertrain warranty runs out. honda dealerships have acknowledged these are defects in the car and are widely known but honda refuses to cover repairs or will only pay for partial repairs. the engine block is a casting problem per the dealership and the rear wheels are a control arm problem which causes premature uneven wear and possible blowout. honda refuses to pay for the control arms at all. thankfully we did not have any crashes or injuries due to catching the problem before anything happened. unfortunately, the first dealership i went to tried to hide the problems and would not acknowledge it is widespread in 2006 and 2007 civic models. i am being forced to pay for a portion of the engine block and all of the control arms to fix the problems. *tr | |||

| I have been having problems with my 2006 honda civic lx unexpectedly accelerating while braked. one incident occurred while stopped at a stop sign. the car began to accelerate by itself while my foot was on the brake. in an attempt to stop the car from proceeding into the intersection, i had to apply both feet heavily on the brake pedal. luckily, no one was crossing the street in front of my car at the time. after this incident, i brought the car to my honda dealer to investigate this problem. since the acceleration problem did not occur anytime during the service test drive, the dealer was unable to find anything wrong that would cause the car to accelerate unexpectedly. in a second similar incident, i was stopped waiting to exit a commercial parking lot onto a major thoroughfare. again, the car began to accelerate fiercely. this time i was unable to hold back the car with both feet on the brake. in a panic, fearing i would hit someone crossing in front of my path, i attempted to shift the car into park or reverse just to stop it from continuing forward. the latest incident occurred on 10/3/09 while braked at a corner intersection waiting for traffic to clear down the block where i wanted to make a right turn. this time while my foot was on the brake and i proceeded slowly to turn the corner, the car began to accelerate unexpectedly. this occurred while another car was proceeding down the block towards me. with both feet on the brake, i was unable to hold back the car as i proceed around the corner. as my car continued to race forward, i was fortunate to be able to maneuver around the other car without striking it head on. these unexpected accelerations have been very terrifying experiences and it is even more upsetting to learn from the dealer that this problem cannot be explained or repaired. this problem is truly a safety hazard and warrants further investigation by the honda corporation. *tr | |||

| Purchased a 2003 honda certified civic lx on january 28, 2006 from heritage honda of towson, 9213 harford road, baltimore, md 21234. took vehicle in for 50,000 mile service and asked service manager about automatic transmission slipping while in drive on an incline, causing vehicle to roll backwards. he informed me that he had a similar vehicle which also did this, that other customers had complained to him of the same condition, and that there was nothing that could be done about it. my complaint is that: the automatic transmission will not hold the vehicle on an incline when in the drive position. driver must engage the park position to hold the vehicle, or put the vehicle in neutral and engage the parking brake. leaving the vehicle transmission in drive while on a hill results in slippage (this vehicle rolls backwards while in drive, as if in neutral), which presents danger of impact to the driver of this vehicle and to those drivers behind them. i strongly believe that this condition of transmission and vehicle slippage when the automatic transmission is in the drive position, while on an incline, constitutes a serious safety hazard to drivers of this vehicle and to other drivers directly behind it. i seek to have the transmission problem corrected, if possible. if not, i would attempt to have the manufacturer buy back the vehicle as a lemon, or to get the vehicle recalled. please advise. *jb | |||

| The vehicle has a manual gearbox and the clutch pedal is very stiff to operate. this combined with a fairly long travel could require short divers to position their seat very close to the steering wheel in order to get enough leverage in their leg to fully depress the clutch pedal prior to staring the engine. the incident date is non-specific as this is an ongoing issue. i have raised my concern with the local dealer and was advised that they cannot reduce the stiffness of the clutch action or reposition the engine disconnect switch (so that the pedal does not need to be pressed to the floor). *jb | |||

| I own a 2006 honda civic si, which i purchased new from dublin honda in dubiln, ca in 2006. my car has always had a problem shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, even when it was brand new. it would sometimes pop out of gear unless i held the shifter for a moment after shifting. the car now has 67500 miles on it, and two weeks ago, the clutch/transmission abruptly stopped working. i brought it to sunnyvale honda, who wanted to charge me nearly $1900 to repair the clutch. i declined, instead i brought it to a private mechanic who charged me $1140. the mechanic showed me that the pressure plate in the clutch had simply snapped in half, which caused the failure. however, as soon as i got the car back, it was apparent that the transmission had also been badly damaged as a result, and now the transmission grinds every time i try to put the car into 4th gear. as a result, i had to return the car to the mechanic, who estimates it may cost $2000 or more to rebuilt the transmission. i feel that this is nuacceptable for a car with 67,500 miles on it, and it is a design defect that the pressure plate snapped. this particular car has a history of numerous complaints regarding a defective transmission, which honda refuses to acknowledge. please see this website, where you will see a video of a fox news 6 san diego report about this problem: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/honda-transmission-problem-shifting-expectations/ there is also an online petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/civicsi/petition.html | |||

| I own a 2006 honda civic 2 door coupe. it is currently in the service shop at the local honda dealer as it requires a new transmission only 5700 miles past the drivetrain warranty. it is my understanding that this is a rare occurrence as stated by the service manager and usually happens with cars with much higher mileage. it is a manual transmission that as of 2 weeks ago has been slipping, grinding and whirring. i have requested that the honda customer service center get involved due to reports you have published starting back in 2001 about faulty transmissions in civics. there has been no recall since it has been determined it is not a safety issue. how can this be?? when you pull out into traffic and your gears slip giving you no acceleration?? i purchased a honda due to its longevity and as of this point, i will never purchase another honda again. the consequences of this faulty transmission is that it has leaked into my clutch and requires a new clutch, transmission and driveshaft at a cost to me of over $5000 when i still owe $7500 on a car that's only 4 years old with 65722 miles. i am paying for a rental as insurance does not cover this and i am truly upset that there was never a recall, especially since there are many many reports about honda civics transmission problems dated back to 2001. its obvious that there is something wrong and would appreciate that you all investigate this further so that no other people have to go through what i am going through. *tr | |||

| The drive-by-wire throttle system equipped on the vehicle has been very tardy in its response time to throttle-pedal input. this was already a recall for this vehicle, and has since gotten worse after the new software was installed on the vehicle. for instance, if downshifting into first gear, quite often will the engine accelerate itself and push the vehicle for extended amounts of time (10-15 seconds) with no pedal input. this has occurred not only in first gear, but also fourth gear and sixth gear, not while downshifting but during normal highway driving conditions. the total number of incidences of this is approximately 10. luckily i do have a clutch and when depressing the clutch, the engine will raise its revs from ~2000 to over 3000 and then drop off to idle. as well, while shifting gears, throttle response time from pressing the accelerator pedal is slow, and when releasing the throttle pedal there is a 1.5-2 second delay. not so safe in heavy traffic. *tr | |||

| My 2006 honda civic si has problems with gears one (1) through four (4). the biggest problem is the lack of smooth shifting and erratic grinding resulting from shifting through those gears. grinding occurs when the vehicle is at a stop and the clutch is shifted from neutral to first (1). grinding also occurs when the vehicle is in motion and shifted from first (1) to second (2), second (2) to third (3), and third (3) to fourth (4). the grinding is most prevalent in the second (2) and third (3) gears, with first (1) and fourth (4) being more minimal. the grinding is also most prevalent during cold weather and/or when the car was not given time to warm up. in addition to the grinding issues of the manual transmission of my 2006 civic si, surging and jerkiness can be felt from neutral to first (1) and first (1) to second (2). notchiness can also be felt within gears one (1) through four (4). *tr | |||

| Within weeks of purchase, returned to dealership regarding excessive grinding of gears, lack of confidence in engaging gear change all when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. dealership suggested it to be break in period or that i wasn't used to a performance 6m transmission (i drive a 2003 nissan 350z 6m). next visit, resulted from more of the above, i cited website research and reference to transmission fluid not of quality. dealership did change and problem was lessened. third visit, had service tech drive vehicle and he came to conclusion that it would get better with use, i told him that i couldn't believe that honda would accept that solution. i then drove for period of time thinking it was my skills and that it would be better when broken in, until finally, i called out of frustration and concern for my safety because the transmission was actually popping out of third gear to neutral after i felt like it was engaged, or i was having to double clutch/shift and thus, causing me serious safety concerns and near collision/rear end due to the unexpected times it would occur. this last visit to the dealership i was told that the district manager would have to drive and we'd schedule a visit when he was in town. this time they had the vehicle for two days and reported that both dm and service manager drove without any recognition of reported symptoms and nothing was done. i was told they have not had this complaint, they took some compression readings and they would keep in touch. i accepted, but visited my sales person, and expressed my concerns and suggested that i was so disappointed in this non-typical honda response that i sell the vehicle. the symptoms persist causing me a lack of confidence in vehicle performance and concerns for the safety of myself, other passengers and other vehicles. thus, leading me to file this complaint. *tr | |||

| The transmission will not engage 3rd gear correctly and causes the transmission to grind and pop into neutral when you think you are in 3rd gear. this issue is dangerous and could cause a wreck. honda denies the problem but there are several petitions online about this issue. this issue is the worst when it is cold out and the car is cold. it has been doing this since the car got to about 5,000 miles. *tr | |||

| 1st gear locks out on a dead stop, which means if i were on a hill, i would try to go into 1st gear, and instead of going into first, i roll back and hit whatever is behind me if i cannot catch it in time. 3rd gear kicks back and grinds, which may lead to being rear ended if the driver behind me does not notice this. *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 honda civic si. the tranmission has had problems shifting into third gear. on many occasions the shifter has popped out of third gear while driving. i brought the car to honda with this problem. they changed some fluid and hoped it would fix it. it didn't. it's been several months since then, and the problem seems to be getting worse. i hope honda can figure out how to fix this, because it doesn't seem safe. *tr | |||

| (1) the event leading up to the failure would be while speeding up and shifting into 2nd gear and 3rd gear sometimes there is a grinding noise, and some other times it pops out of gear totally. (2) the failure that is occurring is that sometimes it pops out of gear and then there is also a grinding noise. the consequences that come with this is while driving on the highway if you speed up and your car pops out of gear it could cause you to crash. also it is causing internal problems within the car. (3) honda has done nothing to fix this problem, so hopefully they will after the complaints come in. *tr | |||

| My 2006 honda civic si has an issue with hanging revs that even after the release of the gas pedal the rpms seems to stay steady for 1-2 seconds. the inability of the dbw system will eventually lead to early clutch failure, also there is surging and jerking in 1st-2nd gear. i must say that it makes me very nervous to drive because i can't predict what the car will do. the car also seems to have a notchy, stiff, and grinding 3rd gear that won't seem to go away even with recommended fluid. *tr | |||
