Consumer Description

2015 HONDA CR-V HAS A SPORADIC PROBLEM IN GEAR ONLY AT AN IDLE. ENGINE RPM DROPS BY 100 TO 200 RPM AND EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IS FELT. HAVING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHEN THIS OCCURS DOES NOT PRODUCE THE DROP IN RPM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN DRIVE AGAIN, THE RPM DROP CONTINUES TO BE OBSERVED. RELEASING THE BRAKE MOMENTARILY OR MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL RESTORES THE ENGINE RPM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. A HESITATION OFF IDLE WHERE THE VEHICLE ALMOST DIES IN TRAFFIC HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. DEALERSHIP HAS NO AUTHORIZED CORRECTIVE REPAIRS TO PERFORM. TECH MANAGER AT DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN AND DEEMED ACCEPTABLE. HAVE SCHEDULED TWO MEETINGS WITH THE HONDA DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER AND SHE HAS BEEN A "NO SHOW" BOTH TIMES. TODAY I WAITED FOR 70 MINUTES AFTER OUR APPOINTMENT TIME AND THEN LEFT THE DEALERSHIP EXTREMELY FRIUTRATED. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ENGINE MANAGEMENT ISSUE. WHY ISN'T HONDA TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN?
