2005 Honda Civic power train problems

“I purchased this car from a Honda dealership used for over 7 thousand dollars in 2021 it's a 2005 car with known issues. I drove it for less than 2 months before it overheated without an indication by the gauge that it was overheating and blew a head gasket. It was acting funny before it happened I brought it back to the dealership a couple times they charged me several hundred dollars to do nothing besides diagnosed it and told me nothing was wrong with it. Obviously there's plenty wrong with a car I'm just finding out that the battery is probably going to die really soon and I had to pay a mechanic to put another engine in it and paid another 2 thousand dollars. Now the transmission is completely gone and I have to figure out how to come up with more money to fix it while I'm out of work because of this I should have done better research before I bought this car but why aren't there any lemon laws for used cars just purchased from dealerships in a lot of states Florida only has one if it's a brand new car very unhelpful and unfortunate for me right now that a multi billion dollar company can do this to me and leave me broke without a car and out of work…”

“The car runs good but will not stay in 2nd gear this is the 2nd manual transmission the factory did the same then tran#2 did the same now had replaced for 3rd time and this one's doing the same thing.”

“In 2019 Honda came out to fix the air bag recall. I never had problems with the air bag light coming on until after they fixed the air bag. The air bag light stays on all the time along with a check engine light. Also I’ve had to replace the whole transmission in 2019. In 2018 my engine cracked and I had to replace it with another engine. Currently the rack and pion went bad. The vehicle will at times steer on its own and sometimes the steering wheel won’t turn. I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the past few years. I do not believe Honda put in the air bags correctly. I barely had driven my car anywhere and I should not be having these types of problems. It’s a safety hazard.”

“MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND BARLEY SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR TO 3RD IT HAS 95000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD ALL 2000 TO 2005 HONDAS HAVE BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY NEVER RECALLED IT WHY????? NOW I HAD TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET BECAUSE IT WAS BLOWN AT 75000 MILES THATS TO EARLY FOR THAT TO BE HAPPENING I SPENT 2000 GRAND ON IT ALREADY WHY DIDN'T THEY RECALL THIS???? *TR”

“THIS CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. UNKNOWN TO ME, IT CAME THAT WAY FROM THE DEALER. A COUPLE HONDA DEALERSHIPS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. IT FIRST STARTED SLIPPING AROUND 40,000 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS WAS WHEN THEY TOLD ME OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND THE RECOMMENDED FIXES. THE TRANSMISSION INITIALLY FAILED AT 54,300 MILES. STEVENS CREEK HONDA CLEANED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A SPECIAL DETERGENT AND REPLACED THE FLUID. THEY SAID IF THE PROBLEM CAME UP AGAIN BEFORE 109,000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE TO ?BURNISH? THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT I DIDN?T REALIZE IS THAT THE DETERGENT CLEANING WAS A ?BAND-AID? FIX SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD AVOID THE MORE COSTLY FIXES THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LAWSUIT. THE CAR PERFORMED NORMALLY AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE THE FLUID REPLACED MORE THAT NORMAL DURING SERVICE VISITS. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN AT 124,700 MILES. NOW THEY DON?T WANT TO COVER THE COST BECAUSE IT IS NOW LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, OR COVERED BY THE TERMS OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY FRAUD. THEY DID A CHEAP INEFFECTIVE CLEANING IN ORDER TO AVOID AND…”
