SUBSEQUENTLY THERE ARE VARIOUS LEVELS OF VIBRATION WHILE AT STOPS ALONG WITH A ROUGH RIDE. THE SEATS SHAKE ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT STORY FROM HONDA. EVERYTHING FROM WORKING ON A FIX TO IT DOESN'T EXIST. 2 DEALERS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE EXISTS. UNFORTUNATELY MECHANICS SAY IT'S A HUGE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.
