What owners wrote

At around 55k miles I was on the highway when my car bucked twice and then switched into neutral, I pulled over and turned the car off then on again and all the lights on the dash stayed on but I could switch gears, I called honda they told me to bring it in and they said it was something to do with the parking brake sensor and pulley system, they replaced it and sent me on my way.
