Transmission issue reported and the mechanic was surprised bc the car was running very well and I maintain it all the times. Engine light was on as well as the D was blinking Green at the time. Very Safety concerns when the car does have this issues, the car can’t shift to next speed this could lead to a crash anywhere. Of course people start to get upset due to the car doesn’t run as expected on the road. Mechanic changed the 3rd clutch for the transmission but after one week I h am having the same issue again. Transmission issues are very expensive and needs a very experienced mechanic to take care of it. The issue was confirmed by mechanic and certified mechanic place. I had to tow my car and costed my a lot of money. I will attach the communication with the insurance company.

Car engine was running "rough" upon start for 2 days; worked out after driving 1-2 miles. Drove 15 miles and stopped to fill up with gas. Less than 1/4 mile after fill up,engine light came on. Had car towed to mechanic who had performed last oil change and major service (a month or so previously). Mechanic identified problem with #4 cylinder. Mechanic swapped spark plug in #4 cylinder with spark plug in #2 cylinder. Less than a week later engine light on again. Problem again with #4 cylinder. Replaced all spark plugs and engine air filter. One week later, heater stopped working. Next day, radiator (coolant) gauge on dash moved up past mid-point and hits 3/4 point. I stopped driving and had a friend bring coolant which was 1 gal low! (note: mechanic checked and found coolant level full when car was in for engine light problem less than a 10 days previously. I drive less than 15 miles per day...all low speed. I park off street and have car in one spot for 9 hours during work and never saw any fluid on parking spot.) added coolant. 1 week later (coolant) gauge on dash moved up past mid-point and hit 3/4 point (after driving 5 miles at 45 m.p.h. Or less). Stopped driving. Checked coolant level which was fine (full). That night got letter in mail from honda saying that 2006 - 2009 civics may have cracked engine blocks. All "symptoms" described in honda letter matched what I had been experiencing (unexplained/undetected coolant loss, overheating, engine problem as evidenced by dash indicator). Brought car to honda dealer. They said no problem with engine block. I asked them to check radiator thermostat. They said no problem. They could not explain why I lost coolant. I am in process of getting second opinion because I do not believe that honda is committed to fixing the problem (which obviously is a manufacturing defect).

The car overheated and engine light came on. The car had a cracked engine block that honda admitted is a defect of this model car but they are only covering repair for people who come in with a problem. The dealership supposedly replaced the cracked engine block with a new one. The engine light has come on 3 additional times in the past month since the engine block was replaced. The first time we were told it was the oxygen sensor and paid approx. $380 for repairs because they claim it had nothing to do with the initial problem. Less then an hour after getting the car back the light came on again. This time they said that there was dust on a sensor do to the work they did. They claimed to repair it for no charge. They said they drove it for 20 miles with no problem. Again within an hour of getting the car back the engine light has come on for a 4th time.

Purchased vehicle in april 2010 (approximately). I noticed car was shuttering/jerking when accelerating, most notably between 1500 and 1800 RPM from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears. I brought to the dealer and complained of issue. Honda dealer stated that because there was no engine light on and when checked the cars computer did not register any codes there was nothing they could do. They did not test drive the vehicle either. I returned multiple times following this and documented it each time. The vehicle is still running with 80,000 miles on it. I brought it to another dealer recently in md for brake service and told them about the issue and they test drove the car and the technician diagnosed it as a torque converter issue. I am going to take it back to the first dealer I have been complaining to and demand they drive the vehicle.
