A loud, mechanical "thunk" is heard when the car is put into reverse - the sound comes after the car rolls back 2-3 feet. It is very disconcerting. The dealer says that the problem is "under investigation" by honda and that a transmission replacement may be necessary. They can do nothing until honda figures out how to handle it. I assume the car is safe to drive ??? *ak
