Does anyone have any info on the reliability of the Civic Hybrid CVT transmission. The pastor of our church apparently has had problems with the transmission on his Civic for some time until it packed up at around 60k miles. The dealer quoted a price of $5,000 to replace it -- although they were checking to see if Honda would replace it without charge.
there's nothing much wrong with cvt transmission. it's used extensively for automatic transmission by many manufacturers in every market except north america and is known to be both reliable and fuel efficient.
If Honda doesn't help, I would get a parade permit and stand in front of the dealership every weekend handing out literature about the quality of his civic.
Yeah, I can see the pastor of his church doing that.

The pastor believes it is a miracle -- but Honda is replacing the transmission with no cost. I think it is simply because Honda is a good company.
