PURCHASED NEW 09/2014 POHANKA HONDA OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA. WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A SLOW DOWN OR STOP, THIS CAR WILL OFTEN HESITATE, OR STALL, SOMETIMES WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL MOMENTARILY , WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARDER IT SURGES FORWARD SUDDENLY. ITHE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT I MUST GET ACCUSTOMED TO THIS NEW TYPE CRV TRANSMISSION. NEXT THEY TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE GASOLINE. THEN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO FAULT WITH THIS CAR AND TO CONTINUE TO REPORT ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS IN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE PROBLEM AND NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT IT. WHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I AM VERY LEERY ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE ESPECIALLY THE SURGING. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR THIRTEEN MONTHS AND MY WIFE HAS ONLY DRIVEN IT TWO TIMES. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ASKED ME MANY TIMES WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY AFRAID THIS CAR WILL GET OUT OF CONTROL AND HURT SOMEONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING FROM THE COMPUTER ON THE DASH "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE." I WENT TO WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR TWICE AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND THEY SHUT THE COMPUTER SYMBOL OFF. THEN 3 MONTHS GOES BY AND IT COMES ON AGAIN, I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY CLAIMED "THERE WAS A SMALL LEAK IN THE TIRE." MAJESTIC HONDA FIXED IT?? AND MADE ME PAY $100.00 FOR THIS. NOW IT IS JUNE 29TH, 2015 AND MY LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN AND IN ANOTHER TIRE IT WAS LOW. THE TIRE WAS ACTUALLY LOW AND I HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO MAJESTIC BUT I THINK THAT #1 THE FIRST FEW MONTHS SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER, I DO NOT THINK THERE WAS ANY LEAK IN THE TIRE, I LOOKED AT THE TIRE AND I DID NOT FIND WHERE THEY "FIXED THE SMALL LEAK." NOW IN ANOTHER TIRE IT IS GOING FLAT. I HAVE READ THAT YOU HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES AND I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. YOU HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS BUT NOT MINE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES AND YOUR ELECTRICAL WITH THE TIRES. PLEASE CALL ME BACK AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE TIRES WHEN THEIR WAS A RECALL AND MAYBE YOU MISSED MINE. ALSO MY FRIEND BOUGHT THE EXACT CAR I DID AND HER LIGHT "CHECK TIRES" GOES ON CONSISTENTLY.

POWER TRAIN
FROM A DEAD STOP, WHEN THE HONDA STARTS TO ACCELERATE, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER FOR @ 1.5 SECONDS. THESE EPISODES USUALLY HAPPEN WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT ALTHOUGH IT HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ACCELERATING FORWARD TODAY. THESE EPISODES HAPPEN 3 TO 5 TIMES A WEEK. I DRIVE @ 130 MILES A WEEK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHERE RELIABLE ACCELERATION IS IMPORTANT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR EVALUATED 3-4 TIMES BY THE DEALERSHIP WHICH CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR @10 MILES FOR THEIR TESTS WHICH IS HALF OF WHAT I DO ON A DAILY BASIS.

FROM PURCHASE DATE 10-24-14 THRU TODAY, WHEN VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER FOR @ 1.5 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATION RESUMES. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, NEVER STRAIGHT FORWARD. THESE EPISODES HAPPEN 3-5 TIMES PER WEEK. THE HONDA TRANSMISSION IS THE "CVT/ DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM". I DRIVE @ 20 MILES PER DAY. IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED 3 TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN LONGMONT, COLORADO AND THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A PROBLEM SAYING EVERYTHING IS OK. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT OK FOR A NEW CAR AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
