| Description of the problem | This car vibrates a lot when i am driving at any speed. It has been going on for several years. I did not find out the specific problem until 3/15/2014. I had three different mechanics look at the car for the problem. They all said that the rear u-joint on the propeller shaft is badly damaged. This u-joint is not repairable by honda design because it is a part of the propeller shaft. According to the honda dealer, the entire shaft must be replaced at a cost of about $1800. I believe that it is a manufacturing defect. The propeller was probably defective when i bought the car. According to the mechanics, they have never seen this problem before. This car has never been in any major accident to cause this problem. It is a safety hazard which should be covered by honda. The problem was probably there when i bought the car but it has gotten worse since then. My husband and i have driven the car mostly locally all these years. My husband, [xxx], has my permission to act on my behalf in this matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
