My Civic hybrid is in the shop this week having major repairs to the transmission. I have had the car for about a year and a half. It has around 24,000 miles on it . Apparently, the clutch mechanism in the variable automatic transmission has failed and has to be replaced. The service manager said that this is a known problem and that Honda has issued a bulletin on the subject.
Frankly, I am quite concerned about this. A transmission should certainly hold up for more than two years. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the added weight associated with the batteries.
