Consumer Description

EVERYTIME I REACHED A CERTAIN SPEED THEN TRY TO MAINTAIN IT BY SLIGHTLY PRESSING ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE STARTS TO SHUDDER/VIBRATE. IT IS REALLY ANNOYING AND IT CONCERN ME A LOT. THE ISSUE HAPPENS IN DIFFERENT SPEED. I BROUGHT THIS COMPLAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING NORMAL WITH THE CAR. SO, I JUST GET A LONG WITH IT. THEN AFTER A FEW MORE MONTHS, THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE AND IT IS GETTING IN MY NERVES. I BROUGHT IT BACK YO THEM BUT THE SAME THEY ONLY GAVE ME THE SAME REASON. MY SISTER AND SOME FRIENDS HAVE HONDA CARS WITH ECO MODE ALSO. HOW COME THAT THEY DON'T EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I AGREE WITH SOME COMPLAINANTS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT BOTHERS THE DRIVER WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THAT VIBRATION FROM THE ENGINE. IS HONDA JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FROM A CAR CRASH WITH THE PILOT BEFORE THEY MAKE A MOVE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I JUST HOPE THAT THEY BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE HIGHER OP OF HONDA BEFORE SOMEONE'S LIFE WILL BE TAKEN. *TR
