| Description of the problem | When car is first started it drives fine but once the engine reaches operating temperature at about 15mph to 30mph there is a vibration felt in the steering wheel. If i let off the accelerator pedal the vibration stops or when the transmission shifts into the next gear the vibration stops. Problem only seems to be at low speeds as car seems to drive good with no vibrations from 30 mph to 65 mph. Honda dealer salesperson told me that it was a characteristic of the new cvt transmission. I called honda usa and they said there was no known problems with the transmission and told me to take the car to the dealer for a check. The dealer after checking the car told me that there was a problem with the car. This was on march 23, 2015. On march 24, 2015 i received a call from the honda district representative stating that there is a problem with these new transmissions and that honda is trying to find a fix but they don't know how long its going to take to figure what the fix is going to be. Today march 25, 2015 i received a call from honda usa customer service saying that the symptoms that i'm experiencing in the car are a characteristic of the car. I informed her that i spoke to the dealer rep and he told me there is a problem in the transmission and she said she wasn't informed about it. I can't believe that i paid $26,000 for a car that vibrates at low speeds, that my wife won't drive because she doesn't feel safe in it, and honda usa is telling me its normal for the car to do this. Talk about being fed a line of bull. Now lets see what if anything the government is going to do because there is a problem in these vehicles. |
