| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2016 honda hrv and started to lose power. Warning lights for brake system and engine, along with other lights came on. I was able to safely pull over. I was able to turn off and turn car on and warning lights on dashboard were still on, however i was not able to engage the car in either drive or reverse position. When tow truck driver arrived, he was able to engage car to drive. Honda dealership ran diagnostic test and speed sensor came out, but it was ruled out. Only thing wrong, was a loose battery cable on positive side. Car is running fine. However two weeks later, i am 150 miles from home and just got off freeway, when my car loses all power. I immediately had to pull over and luckily car behind me was able to stop in time and did not rear end me. There were no warning lights on the dashboard. I am able to turn car off and on. However will not engaged in drive or reverse position. I had it towed to honda dealership (again). I was told transmission is completely out and its due to metal shavings in my transmission oil. I only have 101k miles in my car however it is not longer covered under the manufacturer powertrain warranty, so it will cost me $6,500 to repair. I have read other reports on hrv forums from drivers who own 2016-2017 honda hrv who have had the same exact symptoms and problems with transmission. |
