Consumer Description

ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY MY FAMILY REACHED OUR DESTINATION SHORTLY AFTER THIS OCCURRED IN FONTANA, CA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IT WOULD JERK AND HESITATE BACKWARDS WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO ROCK HONDA THE FOLLOWING MORNING ON 10/18/2013 IN FONTANA, CA AND THEY CHARGED ME 638.60 STATING THE VEHICLE NEEDED A PCM UPDATED SOFTWARE AND ADJUSTED VALVES. IN DOING FURTHER RESEARCH IT SEEMS I SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED THIS AS THERE IS A RECALL ID #74308 STATING ISSUES WITH THE PCM AND TCM AND THAT HONDA WOULD UPDATE THE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE. *TR
