I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. THOUGHT I HIT A BUMP BUT WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR STARTING BUCKING BETWEEN 0-30 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO DO SO AT EVERY START. DROVE IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS! IF I WAS TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION AND IT STARTED BUCKING, I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT OF INTERSECTION ON TIME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS HONDA IS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS. *TR
