On two separate occasions i have experienced my car notifying me of a transmission issue and kicking it into neutral on its own. the first time this occurred back at the end of november, used auto start and got into my car shortly after. turned on the car and placed into reverse. still stopped, pulling up my gps and heard the alert and saw on my dashboard 'stop driving when safe. transmission problem. see manual" it lights up that for a moment then goes away. but it shifted my car into neutral. didn't think anything of it. finished the the gps. took another moment and put the car in reverse. it did it again and it was back in neutral when i was just in reverse. i called the dealership immediately. the next day car was taken to the dealership. nothing was stored in the database. and they said they had never heard of it and couldn't find anything wrong. fast forward to today, auto start, got into car. placed in drive for a moment and before moving the alert came up and car was in neutral. it did it three times. took a photo of the alert ...

Consistent vibration when ecm engages culminating in engine bucking along with engine light flashing this occurred on rural road at 55mph. mechanic changed oil and spark plugs which seemed to fix the problem. two months later, engine light on and ecm not engaging at all. vtm light on for a short while. code indicates a cylinder problem. this waa also at approx. 50mph. the code is ambiguous but seems to indicate misfire of some sort. research shows this to be a pervasive problem with this model. why has this not been recalled?

My 2019 honda randomly brakes while i'm driving almost causing someone to rear end me, and other times almost causing me to be in accidents. in addition, at 19k miles my transmission went out (started catching, making a grinding noise) while i was driving on the interstate and caused the vehicle to decelerate. i pulled off the road turned the vehicle off, once restarted it decelerated and the transmission light, emissions light and blind spot light came on the dash board.
