| Description of the problem | I really started thinking about an incident from two days ago, when i received a "vague" 2018 honda crv recall notice on my car for an a/c control unit replacement, etc. Today. That notice prompted me to begin searching online for anyone documenting "spontaneous braking." i did find several that would say exactly what i would have said in their place. In other words, braking hard enough to an abrupt stop that if someone had been behind me i would have been rear ended. Things were thrown from the seats to the floor when i was going quite slowly (on this neighborhood side street). Coming up on an area where a large steel sheet had been placed by sewer workers over an opening in the lane i was in. I was so shocked that i lowered my passenger window to call out to two of the workers that, "i didn't do it, the car did." yesterday i went back to that same location to examine exactly how the spot appeared. It definitely looked like the type of road condition that a kid's tricycle is built to easily pass over. I purchased this car on 9/28/2018. In the recall notice, they referred to: what is the product update issue--following that it says--. . . There are reports of vehicles experiencing drivability concerns. These concerns can result in the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) turning on. Oh! Really! Just a "concern"? I'm hoping to find out more about this, and have it fixed, before i, or someone like me, become a statistic. I don't think of an a/c issue as having anything to do with |
