| Fuel sloshes in fuel tank and physically moves the vehicle when sudden stops occur. honda corporate says this is a characteristic of the vehicle and will, therefore, take no action to correct/replace the tank or vehicle. i'm gravely concerned that this design flaw may cause the vehicle to move forward into on-coming traffic if road surfaces are covered with packed snow and/or ice. *jb | |||
