Give it back and get a full refund.

Or ask for a replacement car as its not fit for purpose

 

Yes pal, request full refund as you are completely within your right to do so.....or replace the car as has been said this is honestly wst i woukd do coz summit is clearly up eith that car and if its bin fixed then gone i suspect the problem was not properly adressed the fist time do dont let em keep fobbin you off...

 

I'd also be sending it back for a full refund as by consumer law it is definetly not fit for purpose and worrying slightly dangerous if it were to jam say on a motorway.

 

Another owner had his gearbox rebuilt, 1st batch 2015 fk2s are the solid ones

 

In a german forum a couple of FK2 owners have been having issues with the 4th gear jamming or even popping out.

 

Isn't this thread for the 9g? It needs moving.

 

Relocated

 

Madness I wouldn't accept the car like that, exchange or refund only.

 

Id be asking for at least a whole new gearbox

 

With brand new cars, FCA/FOS rules give you the power to reject the car for any defect (even something as trivial as the Connect system not working with your phone), without having to give them opportunity to repair. I'm not sure if this rule applies with used cars, but I'm 100% certain that within the first 6 months of ownership, any fault that isn't repaired the first time gives you the same right to reject the vehicle, to which Honda need to A. refund you in full or B. provide you with a like for like replacement.

If I were you mate, I would reject the car, as a serious gearbox issue isn't something any new vehicle should have and wouldn't instill much confidence on the build quality in general. It's your right in the end of the day, and you are paying a premium for the Civic Type R.

 

You have to give them a chance to repair before rejection

 

By the looks of things, he already has, with the issue manifesting again 6 weeks after the first time it was in the garage. The good enough grounds to reject the car, as the issue wasn't resolved the first time round.

 

FYI - I sometimes get issues selected 1st or 3rd. 1st is sometimes a problem when at the lights, requiring my to essentially double clutch before selection and a few times last week, a couldn't get select 3rd in a spirited launch, resulting in again, having to double clutch into 3rd. I mean, yeah ok, double clutching is what the pro's do, but sometimes, I like granny shifting...

 

Hi mate I'm having issues with my first gear it won't go in
I have booked my car in let's see what they say

Mine sometimes doesn't like going into first- usually just after coming to a slow stop at traffic lights. Requires dipping it into another gear before it lets me engage 1st. It's very infrequent though.

 

is anyone else having a similar issue with the fk2.

The funny thing is I booked my car to the dealer to check the issue out
So I started the car the first gear started to work again after two days
The good thing is Honda assist came out yesterday and saw it wasnt going in gear and I have a report stating it wasn't going in gear

There was some gear problems when I tried demo car... thought maybe it's just ths car, but seems more guys have similar issues.

 

When on track in the type r experience car at knockhill not my own there were serious issues going from 5th to 4th at speed. Not really had any on my own

 

Ex-demonstrator car from @Honda_UK suffers 2 gearbox failures in 4 months, but they say it’s “my driving style”. Utter nonsense. #ThePowerOfBadDreams #ThePowerOfNightmares

 

seen the thread over on Civicturbo? Civic Turbo Owners Forums

Just to update this post..

Took my car in on the 3rd January for the Gearbox to be removed, stripped and all parts assessed

On the 5th i received a phone call from the service manager, they had sent all relevant photo's across to HUK Technical and had received a response

HUK believe the issue to be the clutch dragging. So have instructed the dealership to replace the whole clutch assembly aswell as the 6th Gear Synchro

Unfortunately the Synchro is a Japan only stock item, so i have been told i will probably have to wait until the end of February before i get my car back!!

So thats potentially 8 weeks in a HRV
