- Huntington, CA, USA
In the first incident the steering hose and rack were leaking (at 10,000 miles). I was told at my appt. For an oil change and steering inspection that they didn't have time to do both, so they wanted to change the oil and look at the steering later. I insisted they do the opposite and half an hour later I was told that I could not safely drive my car home. Currently, my transmission computer was found to be faulty after I reported a severe vibration accompanied by a constant sound. This too was shrugged off over the phone as being typical of the cvt automobiles. Twenty minutes after I had picked the car up after it was "repaired" I returned it to the dealer as it was shuddering and idling down to 0 RPM's, almost dying at stoplights. This has yet to be resolved as they don't seem to know what to do in regard to these transmissions.

While driving the vehicle at 60mph in March, the vehicle would not decelerate after brakes were applied. Checked cruise control which was not on. Checked gas pedal to see if stuck. Had guided vehicle to off ramp & manged to turn it off. Shifted into neutral & nothing worked. Took vehicle to dealer & mechanic could not duplicate problem. Vehicle is now jerking also, 6 months later.

Transmission failed causing vehicle to surge.
- Monticello, MN, USA
Owners inspection of disassembled transmissin reveals that reverse shift fork had been riding on reverse gear, apparently causing partial engagement during vehicle operation in any mode. Metallic particles from disintegrating gear damaged stub axle at outer bearing area. Dealer and manufacturer's representatives dispute this.
- Enon, OH, USA
Since the day we bought it, the transmission intermittently jerked (sometimes violently) when downshifting, especially around 40 mph. It also downshifted at odd times, like going down hills. I took the car to the dealer on 12/12 & they reported "no problem found." On Dec 27 the engine made lots of noise but had little speed & my family had to drive the handicapped car the short distance home. The dealer said the computer reported that the transmission ration was wrong. They said the more they worked on it, the worse it became. They couldn't fix it even with the help of Honda experts, so they intended to replaced the transmission. Unfortunately, the dealer wrecked the car & they have had the car a month. We want a new car because we don't trust the reliability of the car but Honda & the dealer aren't cooperating.
