The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the D light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my vin number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 Sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and Id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, Kindly.

What owners say
My vehicle is experiencing the same issues as described in recall #11v395000, however my VIN is not listed as being affected by that recall. I contact honda USA directly, opened a case #10120384, and was told that there was no extended warranty and nothing could be done. The vehicle is making a noise while driving and suddenly loses all power, this has only happened so far while the vehicle is in motion, exactly as described by the 2011 recall for the PCM, the check engine light in my vehicle also indicates the PCM is at fault, however because my VIN is not part of the recall any fix must be done out of pocket. The issues happening are exactly as described in the recall, because of this it seems as though additional vins might have needed to be included.
I was driving my car the other night on the street and all of a sudden it didn't wanna drive forward anymore. Check engine light came on. I scanned for the codes and my scanner said it was the output speed sensor and also torque converter clutch circuit stuck off. The car won't drive forward or backward.

Official the federal safety agency page concerning recall #12v222000. While driving, my car's electrical system is making noise behind the steering wheel, my power steering fluid leaks, and my I got a check engine light with a catalytic converter issue.

I was traveling at the speed of 35 MPH in low traffic when I hit a small bump and my car lost all power. All the lights on the dash came on and steering became really tight. I drifted to a stop and switched the car off then on. It restarted and the check engine light was on. The light then went off. Two weeks before this the car cut off as I was backing out my driveway. The check engine light came on and I took it to tires plus the technician found the check engine light to be a computer error. This is really dangerous. Its seems as if the car is design to cut off as to alert me something is wrong; however, that would be great if it cut off before it is put in gear. Once I start moving this puts me in great danger of being ran over and killed. The out come of this design could be fatal for me and many more experiencing this. Walsh honda of macon, ga also found the codes to be erroneous.

When I started the car the next morning the service engine light again came on. I immediately went to a auto service repair place and they ran a diagnostic test. It came back saying fuel screen is jammed. The mechanic stated that it just needs to be cleaned . I made an appointment for the next day. The next morning, on starting the car, the service light did not come on. I went to my appointment and the mechanic said, some cars do that and after driving a while, it may not come back on. The light has not come back on since nor has the car stalled out.
