That’s a shame. What’s the story behind it?
Tune full bolts on, driving style was racing but roll racing, I've never brake boost, but I had a feelings it was gonna blow, these cvt aren't made for racing not even roll racing, my 2009 c300 is way stronger i did multiple brake boost on that thing and still running today

Yeah Honda cvt’s are weak. I wouldn’t tune them if you want longevity. The accord 10- speed has proven to hold power if you want to mod an auto

That sucks. Make sure to add your car to the tuning thread so we can log the failure.

So the car was parked. It sat for a while. You get back in to drive it and no gear works? No error on the dash?

It's no secret that Honda makes weak autos. Just like it's no secret that out of warranty BMWs start to fall apart ?

If you are considering going German I'd be careful on some German car models. My dads BMW has engine misfiring and failed injectors.
Was it built in the South Carolina plant? I know a few people that work and worked there and they say the quality control is very limited there

I am not sure. Possibly. The Ultimate Driving Machine isn't known for long term reliability compared to Japanese Cars in general. I've seen and heard so many Japanese Cars can get over 200K Mileage without any major issues. Too bad for OP's civic though.

20,000 miles. What a waste. Have fun wasting even more money on Bummers.
