Consumer states that while trying to start vehicle would be hard to start. Dealer notified.
When I start my car, sometimes it will start hard. There have been a couple of times where it wouldn't turn over unitl the 3 or 4th times I tried to start it. Also, after I drive a little while my clutch will make a clicking noise and in first gear when I take off my car makes a cluncking noise. Both noises are un usually loud. You can definately hear them outside my car too.
Similar experience found in internet Honda crv car dies/stalls for no apparent reason; no other indication that something else is wrong. When clutch is pushed in and/or car placed in neutral; engine just dies. Dt.
There are many more problems with this car. This is my first car I have ever bought new and I am so upset that Honda is doing very little to help me. No safety defect mentione din summary.
