“Vehicle shimmies, shakes, vibrates when braking and pulls to the left. Had 26,000 mile on vehicle. Brought to dealership and they said it could be due to breaking, car washes, and weather. Rosters were resurfaced at my expense. Now vehicle has 38,000 miles on it with the same problem. Dealership says it's my fault. All miles are highway and vehicle is garaged at home and during the day at the office.”

NHTSA complaint #10560599, filed 2014-01, 45 miles“Issues: 1 - steering constantly vibrates at speeds above 45mph. Smooth roads higher vibrations. This vibration increases to extent that you feel that you are loosing control of the car at speed above 70mph and you can see the steering vibrating. So effectively, you cant drive you car beyond 70mph. 2 - transmission shutters at cruising speed above 35mph and searches for gears while going down hill. 3 - sudden burning smells in the cabin to an extent of air becoming toxic inside cabin. Honda replaced multiple parts but no result and problem has become worse. …”
