ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WHILE INTERSTATE DRIVING, CAR (ENGINE) SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN . NOTICED RPM DROPS TO 0 AT THE INSTANT OF THE SHUTDOWN. LOST STEERING CAPABILITY (STEERING WHEEL HARD TO TURN IN ANY DIRECTION), LOST ACCELERATION POWER. HAD TO DRIFT OFF TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY BEHIND. CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER DETERMINED IGNITOR COIL, IGNITOR U AND ENGINE OIL SEAL ALL FAILED. LOST ALL OIL FROM ENGINE. DEALER REPLACED COIL IGNITOR, IGNITOR U, T-BELTS, OIL SEALS, WATER PUMP, COOLANT AND RUBBER, ACCORDING TO PARTS LISTING ON INVOICE. DAMAGE AMOUNTED TO $837.33. HONDA NOW RECALLING AND REPAIRING OIL SEAL BUT WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR WATER PUMP, EXTERIOR BELTS OR THE TWO IGNITION/IGNITOR PARTS REPLACED. THIS WAS A MAJOR FAILURE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH ON THE INTERSTATE. IF HONDA RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF A PART TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURE AS IN THE CASE OF THE WATER PUMP, THEN HONDA SHOULD REIMBURSE FOR SAME. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
HEARED A LOUD BANGING NOISE UNDER THE SHIFT LEVER WHILE DRIVING 40+ MPH ACCELERATING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, CAR STALLED WHILE TURNING CORNER. EXPERIENCED SLUGGISH AND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER (WITH FREQUENT STALLING DRIVING BETWEEEN 10 TO 65 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL AREA OR ON A HIGHWAY). HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIAN REMOVED AND REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL & MAIN RELAY, AND ADVISED ME TO DISCONNECT A NON-HONDA CAR THEFT ALARM SYSTEM FOR FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OF THE IGNITION SYSTEM. PROBLEM GOT WORST AFTER DISCONNECTING CAR THEFT ALARM SYSTEM. CAR LOST POWER, (SOMETIMES POWER COMES BACK ON WHEN FOOT WAS LIFT OFF THE GAS PEDAL), MORE THAN 15 TIMES WITHIN 8 MILES OF DRIVING AT 4:30AM AND HAD DIFFICULTY RESTARTING. EXPERIENCED HARD START LATER THAT DAY AT 3:30PM. TODAY, CHRISTMAS DAY, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY, CLEANED THE TERMINALS, CHECKED THE WIRES UNDER THE DASHBOARD FOR CUT OR LOOSE CONNECTIONS, RECONNECT THE BATTREY, TEST DRIVED, AND CAR STALLED WITH SOME WEIRD NOISE (LIKE A NOISE MADE BY AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT LOSSING POWER) BY FRONT/LOWER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. THIS PROBLEM HAD ALREADY COST ME A LITTLE OVER $500.00 AND I JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO SPEND JUST TO GUESS WHAT WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK
