MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS EXPERIENCED THE JUDDER/SHUDDER PROBLEM FOR YEARS, AND STILL HONDA DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NO FIX. THERE ARE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A REAL ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS AVOIDED. I HAD FULL CONFIDENCE IN HONDA'S SAFETY UNTIL OWNING THIS VEHICLE. I AM WAITING FOR THE DAY MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, AND IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT WITH MAJOR INJURY. HONDA WILL HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM ON ITS HANDS IF THAT HAPPENS.
