Jun 201790000 miUS $500 | The cars engine has been severely acting up for the pat 7 months--feels like bad gas. While sitting at idle, the engine stutters, jumps, and hiccups almost to the point of stalling out. I have researched the issue and it is known to plague the car. Many say it is an ignition coil/spark plug issue. I took it to the local Honda dealership...they had it for 3 days...and couldn't "replicate the problem." Uhhhhh what? I encounter this problem every single time I'm in the car and your "experts" can't find it? They said there were no computer error messages, yet a 3 year old would be able to feel the issue sitting in the car. Ridiculous. Needless to say I won't be taking my vehicle there again (several other issues occurred including dealer gouging my steering wheel during the test drives and blaming me for it) Issue still persists in my daily driving. Dealing with this crap is really getting old. | ||

Have driven the car for 4 days now and so far, car seems to be operating normally. 2 mos later: car has not duplicated issue. Appears to be fixed. |
