In 2018 she had graduated so I was driving it to keep miles off my truck. The car kept "surging". I could feel it surge on/off at certain speeds.  After 3 different week long stays at the dealership and the head service manager driving the car, I finally got the head mechanic to ride with me. He had their fancy laptop connected to the car, monitoring hundreds of computer settings.  In less than 5 minutes I was "there it is" surge, no surge, surge...  It was the throwout bearing. I could feel it engage.  After another week, with Toyota corporate involved I was finally told; yes we are aware of the problem, but are working on a solution. Apparently they had replaced numerous throwout bearings over the past year but it didn't solve the issue. So they weren't doing anything at the moment.  First lease car I let go back to the dealership (it was upside down).2008 Accord with 70k miles had bearings on both sides go out at the same time. Pistol ring issues with so many 2008's they extended the engine warranty to 125k miles. Replaced the heater blower motor twice, the front-end on the car 4 times, the Honda mechanic told me to sell the car before the warranty expired.Everything has issues.</blockquote>
