I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN TO GET IT MOVING. BUT, AS SOON AS I STOPPED AGAIN, IT STOPPED MOVING...TURNED IT OFF AND ON AGAIN AND IT BARELY MOVED ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL OVER AND GET A TOW. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A SHOP, BUT WAS TOLD LATER THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS MOVING AGAIN. SO, I CONTACTED A FRIEND WHO KNOWS HONDA'S AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS YEAR AND MAKE HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THAT IT'S LIKELY I'LL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY, THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MILEAGE AND I'M IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS MILD. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT HONDA HASN'T HAD AN OFFICIAL RECALL. I WANT THEM HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS WITH MY SEVENTY TWO YEAR OLD MOM WHO HAS DEMENTIA AND SHE WAS TERRIFIED. SO I'M ANGRY TO SAY THE LEAST.
