Case number: N012008-05-1500343

WHO:
Kristopher Baldner (furryferret7888)

WHAT:
2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe

MY PROBLEMS:
(a) notchy shifting to 3rd gear
(b) resistance going 3rd gear
(c) grinding related to 3rd gear
(e) transmission kicking out/popping out into neutral from 3rd.


SUMMARY:
Country: U.S.A.
Call Taker’s Name: Darrell Harville
Case Manager’s Name: Darrell Harville
What Happened:
I called (on 05-15-08) my local Honda dealershihp and told them about it, gave them the service bulliten # and set up a date to drop it off (will drop off on 05-19-08)...then got onto the BBB website and gave them a couple links to our 3rd gear pages...got a call (on 05-16-08) no less than 12 hours later from Honda Care telling me that the BBB called them and informed them of my complaint. Darrell told me that he was going to call the service manager at Tameron Honda Eastern Shore and inform him of it, then asked me about getting me a rental if the fix was going to take a while...will update later

UPDATE!! 5-19-2008
Took the si into Tameron Honda and spoke with Eloy S. He and I test drove my vehicle, had severe issues with 1st and 2nd gear. It WOULD NOT shift into the gears...so they are going to replace the transmission, got a rental free also.

A week later Honda calls me and tells me that they are still waiting on the parts...there is a Nationwide BACK-ORDER (lol) and to drop off the rental and pick up my car till it gets in. I do so, and take her home, wash and wax her.

Honda tells me that 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th gears are torn to HELL, and it had to of happened before I bought it (considering I have only had about 5k miles to drive it) And they replaced ALL those gears, even 3rd (under warrantee)
I cant wait for the call to come pick her up




Update: 06/22/08
Got my car back, had it for a week, and it ended up back in the shop...the transmission was making...well not grinding noises...but like BAD rubbing noises...like they forgot to put tranny fluid in...so im back in the rental....awesome...


Uptate: 7/04/08
Got my car back again, they had installed a faulty berring(sp?) the first time, and when putting a new one in, that one fell apart, so the third time was the charm...cars running good, and finally mine after a MONTH of waiting
