Honda Cr-v Power Train Safety Report | Nov 16, 2012
Reported on Nov 16, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 AT 65 MPH. I ACCIDENTALLY LIGHTLY BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT CHANGED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL. MY SPEED DECREASED ABRUPTLY/UNEXPECTEDLY WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING 70 MPH AND ABOVE BEHIND AND BESIDE ME. IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND WHY IT WAS SLOWING DOWN. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS TOO CLOSE! THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP IN ORANGE CITY, FLORIDA, DIDN'T KNOW THE ANSWER BUT SAID THAT THE OTHER HONDA CRV'S DO THE SAME THING. THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT WHICH I THOUGHT YOU MUST DEPRESS TO CHANGE GEARS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE THIS BUTTON. *TR | |
