If they've really had 60 reports of this happening, someone (read: you) should let NHTSA know about this; this is a major safety recall issue if I've ever heard of one...

you know, it's stuff like this that really makes me want to sell my car. I just put new tires on it, and I'm afraid to really push it now, as I'm coming up on 20k miles, and the rear is starting to click loudly upon direction changes (reverse to first or vice versa). I'm seriously frightened that I"m going to be in the middle of a moderate-speed (55mph+) corner, the rear's gonna lock, and I'm going into the weeds. How many more of us are going to face potentially life-threatening situations before there's a recall?
I mean seriously, I've never seen a sports car with more driveline failures other than Lotus.

i do agree that there needs to be more honda people looking into these problems but i love my car and even with the lock ups and everything, i still wouldn't give it up. as long as they fix it i'm happy
