| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This was also filed under the general header powertrain, but since i saw more complaints here i thought i should file it here instead as there seems to be more strengths in numbers and this problem is dangerous and needs to be addressed. my car has been shuddering/bucking/slipping. it started before the car was out of warranty. with all of the stories i have read it has become clear to me that honda was aware of the problem and that the transmission fluid change was a way of stalling the consumer until the warranty had run out. i took my car in, had the fluid flushed and it temporarily fixed the problem. this was done a second time and after the warranty had run out a third time. each time there was only a temporary fix. now the problem has become dangerous. the car hesitates, races and bucks. i am afraid to drive it as i don't know if it will quit on me while making a left turn and i am afraid that the car will stall in front of oncoming traffic. this is especially dangerous in congested city driving where quick turns are frequently necessary. i am not a risk taker and i am still hesitant to make turns even when there is plenty of room for a highly conservative person such as myself. *tr |
