I was driving and switched into 3rd gear; popped out. Also 3rd gear gets stuck and can't shift into 3rd gear.
My Honda Civic 2008 gets stuck on gear. I stop and then it will switch gears but it will not rev past 2rpm which can make me crash. Honda has not made a recall for this but they should as many people have complained about this on 8thcivic forums and other places. So basically the car bucks forward and the transmission jerks hard and so it will go back to normal you have to turn the car on or off. Imagine im on the highway and it happens.
