NHTSA Complaint #11395339 — 2017 HONDA HR-V

LAST NIGHT AT 12:58AM, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2017 HONDA HR-V ON THE EXPRESSWAY TOLL (LIMIT OF 75 MPH), GOING APPROXIMATELY 80-85 MPH ON CRUISE. SUDDENLY, MY VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH LIT UP, AND PRESSING THE GAS DID NOTHING (NO JERKING OR SOUND). IT WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, A SINGLE LANE VERY HIGH UP, WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN SIGHT BEHIND ME TO ANTICIPATE MY STOP. LUCKILY, I CAME UPON A HILL TO COAST DOWN AND I PULLED OVER AS THE SHOULDER OPENED UP. I HAD ALL POWER, RADIO, LIGHTS, CAR RUNNING LIKE NORMAL. . . I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT DID NOT MOVE. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK, I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON. ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON IN THE DASH (ENGINE, CAR SLIDING, P WITH A CIRCLE AROUND IT WITH !, PARKING BREAK "PARK", ETC). . . PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT ACCELERATED AND DROVE PRETTY MUCH NORMAL. THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT BACK INTO CAR ONLY THE ENGINE AND P WITH CIRCLE AROUND IT LIGHTS WERE ON. IT DROVE NORMAL BUT I DO FEEL THERE IS A LACK OF ACCELERATION AS I AM PRESSING THE GAS, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE SAME (HAVING TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO GAS). THE MECHANIC SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ADVISED ME TO IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A SPEED SENSOR CODE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAME BACK. I WAS ADVISED THERE ARE MANY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODELS WITH RECALLS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR AND MANUFACTURE WARRANTY IS UP TO 36K MILES, AND WELL I HAVE 85K. I HAVE GOTTEN THE REGULAR REQUIRED OIL CHANGES, FILTERS, ETC AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I RAN INTO ANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR UP UNTIL NOW. THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION.
