WHILE DRIVING ON 414 MAITLAND, OUT OF NO WHERE I HEARD A LOUD "POW!" THOUGH I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT, I THOUGHT A BIRD OR METEORITE OR STREET LIGHT COVER HAD FALLEN FROM THE SKY AND LANDED ON MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW A BLACK SQUARE OBJECT FALL FROM THE SKY AND THE CAR BEHIND SWERVE OUT OF ITS WAY. AT THAT POINT I COULD HEAR SMALL PIECES OF SOMETHING BOUNCING AROUND IN THE POCKET BETWEEN THE MOON ROOF AND THE COVER, AND ROLLING ON, OVER AND OFF OF THE MY CAR. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER MORE THOROUGHLY, EXPECTING TO SEE A DEAD BIRD, BLOOD & FEATHERS, OR A ROCK, OR A STREET LIGHT COVER SITTING IN THE AREA WHERE MY MOON ROOF GLASS USE TO BE, INSTEAD I FOUND A HUGE GAPING HOLE(APPROX. 12" X 17" IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOON ROOD AND THE REMAINDER OF THE GLASS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE HOLE ARCHED LIKE A HILL. I DETERMINED THAT THE "POW!" I HEARD WAS THE GLASS EXPLODING, AND THE BLACK PIECE OF SOMETHING THAT WAS FALLING FROM THE SKY IN MY REAR VIEW WAS THE PORTION OF GLASS. I IT WAS CLOUDY AND LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT RAN, SO I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE NEAREST SHOP (PUBLIX) AND BOUGHT A BOX OF 2 MIL CONTRACTOR GARAGE BAGS, SOME SHIPPING TAPE AND TAPED ONE OF THE BAGS OF THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN RETRACED MY PATH I THE INTERSTATE TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMETHING DIDN'T FALL FROM THE SKY AND THAT THE GLASS HAD IN FACT EXPLODED. I FOUND NOTHING, EXCEPT THE SHARDS OF GLASS THAT WAS ONCE MY MOON ROOF. I THEN WENT HOME, PARKED THE CAR AND BEGAN RESEARCH "EXPLODING MOON ROOF". COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS NOT AN ALIEN OCCURRENCE AND SPECIFICALLY WITH THIS MANUFACTURER, YEAR, MAKE & MODEL.

I AM HAVING AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AT LEAST 3 QUARTS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE. THIS PAST FEBRUARY IT STARTED MISSING AND I HAD A LOSS OF POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK. I TOOK IT IN AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED FOUR FOULED SPARK PLUGS AND SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RINGS IN THE ENGINE, IN TOTAL I WILL HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I AM GETTING VERY TIRED OF TAKING IT IN SO THEY CAN TELL ME THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. WITH THE LOSS OF POWER I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENGINE FAILING EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS CAR UNSAFE BECAUSE IT COULD FAIL AT ANYTIME AND LEAVE ME STRANDED OR WORSE IT COULD FAIL WHEN I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING ENGINE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO 120K MILES DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION, ATTEMPTED TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AT LOCAL DEALER (MISTLIN HONDA, MODESTO CA.) WAS DENIED BY SERVICE WRITER DUE TO NOT HAVING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, I ASKED WHY WOULD AN ENGINE LIGHT GO ON IF I KEEP TOPPING OFF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (1-2 QUARTS) HE STATED UNFORTUNATELY HE COULDN'T SERVICE IT WITH OUT A LIGHT BEING ON. TO MY UNDERSTANDING I DON'T SEE HOW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ACTIVATED IF ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, UNLESS THE ENGINE HAS GOTTEN DAMAGED DUE TO NOT HAVING ANY OIL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR BURNS TOO MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND VEHICLE CHECKED OUT 5 TIMES NOW FOR THE PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT FOR MY VEHICLE TO GET FIXED IN THE OIL CONSUMPTION CLASS ACTION SUIT IT HAD TO HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON TWICE, ETC. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS THE 1ST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON I LOST ABOUT 50% OF THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, I HAD TO CHANGE LANES AND SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I COULDN'T KEEP UP AND MY VEHICLE WAS SHAKING SO BADLY. IT TURNS OUT THAT MY OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM HAD FOULED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CAUSED THEM TO STOP FIRING WHICH MEANS I LOST THE POWER OF THE CYLINDERS THAT HAD THE FOULED SPARK PLUGS. NOW THEY WANT ME TO WAIT TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN BEFORE THEY WILL REPAIR THE ENGINE AND FOLLOW THE CLASS ACTION THAT THEY AGREED TO FOLLOW. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND LOST 50% OF MY POWER OR AM MERGING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXIST, BUT WON'T FIX IT IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
