I start my car and when i put it into gear, it greatly jerks! It's awful! I can let the car sit for 25 minutes and then it won't jerk on me later on, but that sure is a lot of gas being wasted. I've gone to all these other websites where people complain about this honda and they all say the same. Bad jerking! Staling on changing gears! Dangerous if you pull out into traffic and it stalls on you! Very bad! *tr
