While driving down the hwy at 65 mph the button in the gear shift popped out. It is a piece of plastic and it broke inside the gear handle. I drove home but without this button inserted i am not able to shift to park, reverse, drive. I took it to the westhills honda dealer for repair. I was told there was a recall on this same issue but not for this vin. To me this is a very serious concern.

When driving on a local road from school, my son pressed the accelerator after a stop light. Our 2017 honda crv didn't move an inch. Thankfully, it was not a highway and the cars behind him were not coming at high speed. We had the car towed to the dealer and it turned out that the transmission was gone and it had to be replaced. We were quite upset that only a two year old car can have this problem and wanted to…
