The car vibrates upon turing it on and engine sounds very noisy. I took it to Honda service center on route 22 in hillside and they said it was the motor mount which was replaced at a cost to me of $600. 00 . They claimed there was no warranty for engine trouble available.
When started and put in reverse the car shakes and makes noise. The problem was diagnosed as bad motor mounts. 75,000 miles on the odometer. This is the same complaint made by many owners. I've read on line that this problem is wide spread with others looking for a recall.
