CAR "JERKS" OR SLIPS WHEN GOING UPHILL. REPORTED TO MCMINNVILLE HONDA, MCMINNVILLE, OREGON 97128 BEGINNING OF 2016. SERVICE MANAGER SAID UNABLE TO DUPLICATE "JERKING" OR SLIPPING ACTION WHEN GOING UPHILL. TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHICH I HAVE DONE TWICE NOW. MY HONDA CARE WARRANTY EXPIRES TOMORROW, 10/11/16. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY THAT AFTER TOMORROW MY DEALERSHIP WILL FIND THE "JERKING" OR SLIPPING PROBLEM AND I WILL BE HANDED A HUGE BILL WHICH I CANNOT PAY. MY 2008 CR-V HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY AND I WAS TOLD "YOU WILL GET ABOUT 200,000 MILES ON THIS CAR BY THE SALESMAN" WHO SOLD ME THIS CAR! I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND ON A FIXED INCOME AND CANNOT AFFORD AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM DESPERATE. I PAID OVER $1200. FOR THE HONDA CARE WARRANTY AND NOW I AM "BEING HELD UP" BY THE THREAT OF NOT BEING TOLD THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND NOW THAT YOUR WARRANTY HAS ENDED YOU ARE ON THE HOOK FOR A PROBLEM YOU FIRST REPORTED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR! COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION OR SOME OTHER PART I.E. AXEL? I WAS TOLD IN 2011 BY RIGHT HONDA, SCOTTSDALE, AZ, THAT HONDA CARE DISALLOWED A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR AXEL. PLEASE HELP ME.THANK YOU. THE SAFETY RECALL HOTLINE IS CLOSED TODAY FOR COLUMBUS DAY. *TR
