Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). I am the owner of a 2007 honda odyssey, [xxx] that has an eco(economy) mode feature that shuts off 3 cylinders electronically to save mileage. A few months ago, the car began to jerk around 40 mph or when the eco mode kicked in. I took the car to be serviced at the honda dealership where i purchased the car. The dealership name is south motors honda [xxx] the dealership said they could not find anything wrong with car. The problem continued to worsen over the next month so i brought the car back for servicing. This time the dealership said they updated the software that controls the eco mode. A few days after pickuping up my car from service, march 5, the problem is now much worse. The car not only jerks now, but is also unresponsive when the eco mode turns off and on. This unresponsiveness almost caused me to get into 2 accidents. The dealership again denied that there is a problem. The car only has ~37,000 miles and the dealership continues to deny that there is a defect with the car.. If the problem continues to get worse, i am certain that is safety issue will result in a accident.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
