| Description of the problem | I was driving on interstate 95 at 65 mph. I accidentally lightly bumped the gear shift and it changed from drive to neutral. My speed decreased abruptly/unexpectedly with vehicles traveling 70 mph and above behind and beside me. It took a few seconds to determine what was wrong with my car and why it was slowing down. Thank god no one was too close! This is a life threatening situation. The dealership in orange city, florida, didn't know the answer but said that the other honda crv's do the same thing. There is a button on the side of the gear shift which i thought you must depress to change gears. From my experience, it is not necessary to use this button. |
