2013 Honda Civic 4dr Sedan

140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD

10000 mi First repair by dealer #1 for oil leak identified near passenger side front wheel during maintenance visit: repair took 1 week. Following week engine light came on: I limped into dealer #2 - no transmission fluid. That repair took 2 days 
8000 mi An abnormal LOUD grinding noise is heard every time I go from reverse to drive or vice versa. Its worse when its cold. I am assured this is "normal" but I am loosing confidence in the car. Oh, Honda corporate service stinks. 
7000 mi While traveling through the mountains in TN, the Trans lost 5th gear. Turned out to be a 3rd gear pressure plate. Johnson City Honda took care of it, and all is now well! 
37000 mi In hot weather the transmission would not shift into all the gears, pressure switch was replaced, problem returned next day. Third time since new. 
38000 mi Three times in one month the transmission would lock up and not shift into all the gears. The dealer finally claims its a computer issue, and we are waiting on parts... Something in the transmission electronics continued to malfunction, causing the transmission to stay locked up in higher gears. I asked Honda to buy the car back, said no, dealer offered to, then reneged, said car is broke, we don't want it!
