“My car failed to chage gears that I had to get car towed to a Honda dealer. The technician stated that the reason for failure was unknown but just resetted the system. I'm afraid that this might happen again.”
NHTSA complaint #11425305, filed 2021-07“Car was put into reverse to perform a T turn to drive in the opposite direction on 1/14. The D button was depressed to place the car into Drive.
