2014 Honda Civic: transmission slipping

Filed Mar 24, 2024 · Transmission · MO

The transmission suddenly started slipping and wasnt pulling reliably while I was on the highway in the middle of St. Louis, MO with heavy, fast traffic. There were no warning lights or signs to alert me that something was wrong before this happened. I immediately pulled off the highway, but struggled to change lanes in heavy traffic with very little pull from the transmission. I was forced to cut in front of people that were moving faster than me in order to get out of the way. Once I got off the highway, I immediately stopped to check under the hood. The fill plug for the transmission was off, and was laying next to the fill hole. I had to have it towed, and the shop told me that the vent plug on top of the transmission was clogged. They believe that this is the cause for the excessive pressure buildup which caused the plug to come out. They also said that a sensor on the bottom of my transmission started leaking oil due to the pressure. The sensor was not damaged in any way, but the oil leaking out caused damage to my transmission. The shop informed me that my transmission was low on cvt oil when they drained it, but didn't see any concerning signs in the oil. They refilled it hoping that it would fix the problem. After testing, they informed me that too much damage was caused to the transmission, and I would need a new one. Honda told me that the transmission was out of warranty both by miles (85,000) and year (2014). I had the car towed to another shop closer to home, and they put a new transmission in. I have had the new transmission for less than a week, and the fill cap has already popped off again. The vent does not look clogged this time, but I'm worried that dust or grit could have gotten in or that I may have lost a significant amount of cvt oil. I have to have it towed to the shop again to check my cvt oil level and make sure it's safe to drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda civic. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly began to shudder and it became difficult to maintain the desired speed. While driving uphill, the vehicle lost power. The contact had to change gears to d2 in order to continue driving. The contact stated that it felt like the gears were slipping and the vehicle made a loud revving noise while attempting to stop from high speeds or attempting to accelerate after being stopped. The contact took the vehicle to the ocean honda dealer where it was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v574000 (power train); therefore, the vehicle would not receive the repair under the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

Our 2014 honda civic has 37k miles on it and we were driving it on the freeway when it began to feel like the gears were slipping or not shifting. It felt like we were in neutral and couldn't get any power. It happened very quickly and there was no warning or check engine light. It was towed to a dealership. They discovered it was the transmission solenoid and it came "unplugged" and was leaking transmission fluid which resulted in low pressure and the transmission stopped working.

I have currently lodged more than six complaints with this agency in regard to a 2014 honda civic I purchased new from frank fletcher honda in bentonville, ar. The vehicle continues to experience the same issues on a daily basis. This includes stalling, transmission slipping, jerking and an overall rough ride. The dealership was served on february 3, 2015 with a certified letter making a written demand under the arkansas new motor vehicle quality assurance act (act 297 of 1993) to provide compensation under said law. Honda america was also served with the same letter. The dealership and honda america have had ample time to correct this situation but have done nothing to date. Both entities have placed me and my family in jeopardy by choosing to answer my request for a safe vehicle. My attorney, who drew up the letter, stated the car falls under the "lemon law" and I'm currently driving "half a vehicle."

This is the seventh (7) complaint I have filed in regard to a new honda civic I purchased from frank fletcher honda in bentonville, ar. The car has also been taken to the dealership seven times with no resolution. I am still being forced to drive a vehicle which is not safe. At approximately 1:45 p.m. My husband picked me up from work for lunch. As we were driving down the rode, we felt a "slipping" movement and the car began to stall out. Following this was a series of small jerking movements as we continued to drive. A week ago my attorney filed legal documents under the arkansas auto lemon law against honda america. The vehicle has met all requirements under this law. I am hoping the federal safety agency will take my complaints seriously and monitor honda america's actions towards consumers and the vehicles that are being sold which have safety issues.
