Filed Nov 14, 2023 · Acceleration, Steering · CA

Transmission failed on the freeway December 2021. I was suddenly unable to speed up or accelerate my car. Placed me, my passengers and other people on the freeway at serious risk. Many cars braked suddenly behind me and swerved out the way to prevent a car accident. Dealer at the service center denied a problem and was inspected by them. No warming lamps or messages.

After coming to a complete stop at a Stop Sign with the Honda Civil, my husband (he) started to accelerate, but he could only go up to about 20 mph in a 55-mile zone. Next, the car made a bump noise when his foot was on gas pedal. The car went about 100 feet before it started to slow down on a busy highway. The car was not going the speed limit because it couldn't pick up speed. Multiple cars and trucks had to go around. Next, he had to pull over to the shoulder of the road because the car wouldn't pull no matter what gear it was placed in. The car stopped completely, and it had to be tolled home due to inability to move. Langdale Honda was called and asked about a possible recall on the transmission. They said that I would have to pay about $140 for an inspection for the problem.

Failure of transmission control module Description fits exact diagnosis in recall. Check transmission light on at 45,000 miles. Andy Mohr wants money to inspect it. I an more than willing to if they will inspect it for free but it is not drivable. If they would come pick it up I would be happy to let them drive it all they want. The problem came with no warning on the Highway. car wouldn’t no longer switch to second gear. Purchased at Andy Mohr Honda in Bloomington at 17,000 miles off lease from some someone who barely drove it. Certified Preowned by Honda. Paid in full, feel ripped off. Yes, available for inspection on request No warning: transmission complete failure 2015 Silver Honda Civic Has been discussed with mechanics at Curry Buick in.Bloomington as well as our Winslow marathon which has great mechanics, they told me to contact you. The issue according to the NTHSB is the “TCM” or transmission control module. resulting in cars wheels locking up, or spinning out of control and not changing gears (this is what happened to me and repeated itself when I waited a week and tried driving around my neighborhood ) the issue is supposed to result in transmission and Powertrain failure, making engine wanting to redline very easily. I’m lucky I didn’t burn my engine up. I didn’t purchase a car in 2018 at 17,000 miles and expect the transmission to fall out at 45,000 miles. That’s unacceptable and I was never notified, and Andy mohr purports that my vehicle was either serviced or software changed resulting in no issue, however a transmission dying at 45,000 mi on a Honda Civic is not right and I suspect Honda notified the previous lessee and they did not service the car or had it improperly serviced. Otherwise I see no reason to have a car fall apart at 45,000 miles. I drive like grandma.

I was driving and my tires felt as if they were locking while I was driving. As I was driving up a hill my car slowed down and I couldn’t press on the gas pedal. I luckily was able to get it to a safe spot but I wasn’t able to reverse back or drive forward.

Today I went under the hood because my car broke down in the middle of an intersection on the way to the honda dealership as my car was acting strange. It wasnt accelerating as normal and didnt feel like it was switching gears. Under the hood I discovered the transmission fluid fill cap was completely missing. Ive read online others have had this issue and it was advised to file this report.

Ii had pulled out of a parking lot and was preparing to make a left turn. To allow an oncoming car to pass, I stopped in the intersection. However, the vehicle behind me was following too closely, and hit my rear bumper. Upon impact, my car suddenly revved and accelerated to perhaps 20-30 MPH. I pressed harder on the brake, but the acceleration continued. I quickly applied the hand brake, and my vehicle came to a stop in the driveway of a facing business. Fortunately, no human or property damage occurred. I took my vehicle to the honda dealer, who thoroughly inspected the applicable components; they could find no problems, so they contacted honda, who subsequently came out but again could find no problems. The dealership suggested that I might have erroneously applied the accelerator instead of the brake, but I know that this is not true. I have many years of excellent driving experience, and quick reaction time. I am absolutely positive that I was applying the brake, and that my car experienced unintended acceleration. With a supposed clean bill of health, this car continues to be my mode of transportation. However, I always have an underlying fear that this unintended acceleration might occur again.

I was driving to work on I-77 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. I would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle began to slow. I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The honda dealership who assessed the car said the transmission went out. There is only 100,364 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. There is a known problem (recall) with the 2015 honda civic but my VIN isnt included. Honda knows they need to extended or open recall to include more vins. This is hondas mess up buy putting in a faulty transmission.

My car was involved in an accident last night after being stopped on the freeway. While driving on the freeway I noticed my car driving strange( sounding and feeling like it was in the wrong gear) moments later the check engine light came on and 2 warnings in the dashboard about my engine and transmission systems. My car begin to decelerate, coming to a complete stop in the middle of the freeway and being hit in the rear by another driver. I found this very strange and dangerous due to my car being a 2015 and properly maintained. I would like to know what happened.
