HR-V

  • miles
One of the many times my car would not start. I was trying to leave work and my Honda HR-V would not start. [XXX] at [XXX] - I got in my car to drive to work, and it gave a stuttering sound. I contacted Honda on November 18th 2024 about the recall and was told my name would be put on a list and I-??d be contacted when the part became available. My mother went into the Dover, Delaware Honda location today, [XXX], to inquire about an ETA on the recalled part and she was told that the recalled part -??Was not being released-??. She was also told, by the Assistant Service Manager that he waited 8 months for this recalled part to be fixed on his vehicle. He could not give me an estimated time on when they-??d receive the part, but my car is definitely affected by the recalled part (stalling and my car not being able to start are some of the issues affected by this faulty part) and I don-??t want to risk my life in an accident, simply trying to get to work, while waiting for a part that Honda may not have available for 6-8 months.

This vehicle has some serious acceleration problems. Not only has this vehicle gone into limp mode on me on a very busy city road when it was only a couple of weeks old, but it also takes FOREVER for it to accelerate when pulling into traffic or while going up a hill. I have to press the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and still get nothing until I let up and press the gas again. I have had problems where the car will "spudder" and almost die as I'm exiting the highway coming to a stop and today it actually did completely die as I exited the highway and came to a stop at a red light. No check engine light or anything.
