Description of the problem | On friday february 28 my right axle broke. In half. I had to have it towed and when they put the car up they brought me the broken axle which was all rusted. I consider this very dangerous and everyone has told me this is a very unexpected thing to happen on a 2013 car. I am very disappointed in honda and very concerned about my safety in this happening. Thankfully, this occurred when i was stationary at a light in my own town. The car seemed to be driving normally and i came to a red light and braked as usual. When the light turned green, i pressed the gas pedal and nothing happens. The car raced and there was clicking noise. The car was in the left lane when it occurred and i need to take my own safety into my hands by running to the side of the road, needing to get help to push the vehicle to the side fo the road. |
