The car started not going into first gear a few days ago. This is intermittent as it doesn't happen every time, but it will do it several times in one drive. Luckily I mostly drive on the highway so I was able to drive it two hours back to school but now I'm without my car for a couple of days while they try to figure it out. I'm almost certain it's bad synchros in the transmission as that's what it feels like and every other gear works fine. I've also checked the clutch system myself as has the dealer with no issues found. This should be covered under warranty, but this is a Honda and I bought it for the reliability. I am definitely not buying this car at the end of the lease.
