My son was driving and in the middle of a 5 way intersection car would not shift into gear. My car is a manual transmission car made loud rubbing noise. Car was towed to honda dealer. I was told in was a complete transmission failure and need a new transmission and clutch. I contacted honda warranties I bought the car as a certified used honda. It had 100000 mi warranty which I was past. Honda advise it was 3900.00 if fix and agreed to pay 1300. In reading all the complaints about the 2007 year I feel they should have paid more. Since owning the car I have received notices from honda about engine leakage problem and that engine is covered for 10years, also rear control arms, and I just received in mail a class action law suite about premature break ware. At around 70000 I had to replace motor mounts that was covered by my extended warranty. I also had to replace the rear drum brakes at 90000. I have always driven a manual transmission car I have never had to replace a clutch every and keep most cars for over 150000 mi. And drum brakes should never have gone at 90000. I have to say very disappointed with honda and from reading other complaints on your site there is problem with transmissions on this year.

I have a 2007 honda civic si coupe. This is not my first manual vehicle. I have had trouble shifting into 3rd but did not think anything of it. Just four days ago my car would not shift at all. I had it towed to the honda dealership and was told that my clutch in a year old car was burned out. They claim that it was not a manufacturers defect so in other words, it is my fault. Upon doing research I see that many others are or have experienced the same problem. I have also learned that this past april honda issued a recall on vehicles having 3rd gear problems but have not notified all owners of the makes and models covered in the recall. The 3rd gear problem is directly related to the clutch burning out. I am receiving no satisfaction from the dealership and honda is not owning up to admit that indeed there is a defect.

2007 honda civic si (5,000 miles on car). The six speed manual transmission has a problem when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. It sometimes will not go into gear or will pop out of 3rd. This creates a very serious safety issue as you may not be able to avoid an oncoming car. The honda dealership keeps saying that they are not aware of the problem. Look on the internet and you will have hundreds of complaints of the very same thing on this model car.

The manual transmission shifts badly, and there have been occasions when it won't go into gear. Also, when cold, and in lower gears, it is very hesitant and choppy. I believe it's the throttle. There have been a few occasions when I've stepped on the brake and it's tried to move forward. Honda says there is nothing wrong with this car. They treat me as if I don't know how to drive.
