My wife and kids were at the store. The driver rear door opened just fine and closed. She came out put the kids in the car. She tried to close the door it popped right off the track. Worst part is it was severe thunder storms so family was stranded until my brother could get there. This is unacceptable! thankful she wasn't driving.
Motor mounts were cracked. I was forced to replace them after I was told by the dealer that this wasn't a recall issue. This causes an extreme vibration which effects the handling of the car and passenger comfort.
When the car is about 45-50 mph the engine shutters. It feels like I'm driving over railroad tracks. The car also shutters when the eco light comes on. I've been told that the torque converter is failing and that it is a known failure in this model and year. Honda needs to do a recall on this because this is a defective transmission.
