What 2010 Honda Crosstour owners say
Transmission & drivetrain
Started experiencing a vibration a week ago 05/02/2017 when initially pulling off from a stopped position. The vibration lasts from 20 to 50 mpg and can be violent if accelerating while trying to get started with the regular flow of traffic in a metropolitan city. I have read other reports as well on other sites such as: http://www.carcomplaints.comhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/accord_crosstour/20i0/drivetrain/. The problem is going to get worse if not to a point of being unsafe. Honda needs to issue a recall on the problem and have the customer take their vehicle to the nearest dealership for an axle or whatever part is needed under a recall replacement to correct the problem. Honda is a good product and this is my third vehicle with them. Hopefully the will stand behind their product as they always do.
