“When driving the car it makes a weird sound while I wait in a red or stop sign then feels like the van goes backwards. If I try to turn on the engine it's really hard I try to drive or reverse the the van starts shaking and the engine turns off.”
NHTSA complaint #11297080, filed 2020-01, 35 miles“Broken engine mounts. I fixed the front one in nov 2014. The engine is now rattling while it is idling. I am now being told that the front engine mount needs replacing as well as the rear one. I have seen many Honda chat boards and many others are experiencing this same problem and Honda is not stepping up to help this systemic problem. Hoping this kicks them into gear.”
