CONSUMER RECEIVED A SAFETY CAMPAIGN LETTER, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. CONSUMER SUSPECTED THAT ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE COLLISION. *AK

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS SOON AS AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR AT 30 MPH, I EXPERIENCE SUCH A VIOLENT, HARD JERK THAT IT IS ACTUALLY SEEN BY PEOPLE IN OTHER VEHICLES. THIS JERK CREATES A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE ALSO THAT CAN BE HEARD BY PEOPLE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS SAME JERKING IS EXPERIENCED WHEN DECREASING SPEED TO COME TO A STOP, AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED, I ONLY HAVE 29600 MILES VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HONDA COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THEREFORE DID NOTHING. IT SCARES ME, AND MY CHILD BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A JOLTING VIOLENT MOVEMENT. *LA
