Bought this car brand new off the lot. When car is started, it randomly makes a mechanical grinding noise. It is getting worse with time and beginning to happen more often. I've taken it to Honda multiple times and they have even replaced the starter with no solution. They tell me they have no idea how to fix it and to wait for a recall. Car is beginning to idle high and jerk back and forth while accelerating in traffic.
