Consumer Description

JUST OUT OF THE BLUE , MY 2018 RIDGELINE RTL-E , THE ENGINE IS REVVING BETWEEN 4TH AND 5TH GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS FOR A YEAR WITH NO ISSUES. NOW, 19,000 MILES IN AND IT LIKE REVS TO 3000 RPM AND THEN GRABS 5TH GEAR. IT ACTUALLY PULLS YOU FORWARD WHEN IT DOES. A LITTLE SCARY. I WILL CONTACT GARY SMITH HONDA IN FWB FLORIDA TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND YES OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. A LOT OF OTHERS. SHOULDN'T THIS BE NOTED IN A HONDA LOG SOMEWHERE? I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THIS.
