Description of the problem | Passenger side harsh vibrations - mostly on any road going above 30mph under acceleration the and harsh vibration is felt through out the passenger side front side of the car. After digging online and wasting several hours and countless days at mechanics the outcome is a bad passenger side front axle (driveshaft) called several dealers - local junk yards - plenty of auto part stores and nothing was available. Decided to call america honda just to find out that the axle for the crosstour is on a nationwide back order. Go figure. The internet is filled with crosstour owners complaining of the same issue and asking for advice. Yet this issue is not a recall. This needs to be a recall . When i first got the car from honda the vibration was small over 2 years it has got to the point of dangerous to drive. Last night i had to tow the car home due to the crazy amount of vibration when under acceleration. --- have a scheduled appointment with a local honda dealer -- to see what the manager thinks my next step should be. With out breaking my pockets. Will post a update in a week or so. Contact your local dealers and call american honda and let them know the issues the more callers the quicker we get this factory issue taken care of. No wonder this car was discontinued. They realized their mistake once production was started. |
