Consumer Description

AT SPEEDS UP TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CAR RANDOMLY HAS A SHUDDER OR VIBRATION. IT IS NOT FELT IN THE STEERING BUT IN THE BODY OF THE CAR. WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED HARDER OR IF THE GEAR SELECTOR IS MOVED TO D3 THE SHUDDER STOPS. THIS OCCURRED FROM 60K MILE WHEN PURCHASED TO NOW AT 170K MILES. DEALER CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM BUT RECOMMENDS A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. HONDA AMERICA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE AGE. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. HONDA IS IGNORING THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS. IT POINT TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ROTATED, REBALANCED, REALIGNED AND IT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM.
