Description of the problem | I leased this vehicle in september of 2014 and immediately had concerns with the transmission. The shifts between gears were extremely rough and choppy. When the vehicle was at a stop, i would press on the gas to move into traffic, but the vehicle would not respond; instead, the rpms would rev all the way up to 4-5 and after a couple seconds, i would be lurched into oncoming traffic. I have almost gotten into two significant accidents due to this issue. I have now had to change my driving completely to allow for more time in an intersection to avoid being seriously hurt or killed. The dealership and honda motor vehicles both refuse to be responsible for this issue and despite my vehicle being in for repairs four times now, claim they are "unable to duplicate the issue." rather than taking responsibility for this issue, they accuse me of driving "aggressively." please do not buy or lease this vehicle. It is a major safety issue that the company will not/has not resolved. |
