THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AT 35MPH. THE GREEN SECURITY KEY LIGHT CAME ON...EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND THEN ALL OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER ON THE FREEWAY...AT 70MPH...GREEN SECURITY LIGHT CAME ON...EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER...AND THEN...POWER CAME BACK AND CAR DROVE ON NORMALLY. THIRD TIME, DRIVING OVER RAIL ROAD TRACKS, AT 10 MPH, GREEN LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE CUT OFF...VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. FOURTH TIME, FREEWAY AT 70MPH, GREEN KEY LIGHT CAME ON, EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE CUT OFF. TRIED TO RESTART CAR SEVERAL TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. WAITED 45 MINUTES AND THEN CAR RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM IS A DIRECT THREAT TO MY LIFE. PLEASE HELP. *AK

FIRST TIME I RECEIVED THE LIGHT 09/18/1999, I WENT THRUGH THE DRIVER'S MANUAL AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION. THE BOOK TOLD ME TO TIGHTEN UP THE FUEL CAP AND DRIVE FOR TWO TO THREE DAYS. THE PROBLEM STAYED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 09/23/1999 AND RECEIVED THE APPOINTMENT FOR 09/30/1999. TOLD THEM ABOUT THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT. THE DEALER FOUND CODE 1146. THE DEALER RESET THE CODE AS REQUIRED THEN WARMED UP THE CAR AND ROAD TEST WITH WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND RELEASE/NO CODE RETURNED. TECH INSPECTED PRIMARY OXYGEN SENSOR AND ALL WAS OKAY. I GOT THE CAR BACK WITH INSTRUCTION THAT IF THE CODE APPEAR AGAIN THEY NEED TO ORDER THE PRIMARY OXYGEN SENSOR. ON 10/07/1999 JUST SEVEN DAYS LATER I RECIEVED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GOT THE APPOINTMENT FOR 10/13/1999. THE DEALER FOUND THE SAME CODE P1146, OXYGEN SENSOR FOUND FAULTY AND REPLACED IT. I GOT THE SAME INSTRUCTION, IF THE LIGHT COMES BACK AGAIN PLEASE BRING IT BACK. I GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AGAIN ON 12/22/1999. WE WENT OUT FOR CHRISTMAS WEEKEND. CALLED THE DEALER ON 12/28/1999 AND GOT THE APPOINTMENT FOR 01/04/2000. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND THE SAME CODE AND TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT WORTH REPLACING THE OXYGEN SENSOR BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER CARS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THE HONDA TECHNICAL SUPPORT UNIT IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT CLOSE THE INVOICE BUT RETURNED MY CAR SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR EXCEPT ONE YELLOW LIGHT WITH "CHECK ENGINE" ON IT. IN MARCH OF 2000, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYING THEY ARE STILL LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTIONS TO THIS DATE.THEY WILL CONTACT ME LATER. I BELIEVE IF AN AUTOMOBILE IS DRIVEN WITH 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT IT COULD BE DEANGEROUS IF SOMETHING REALLY GOES WRONG. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I AM SURE YOUR EFFORTS WILL NOT BE WASTED. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALER ON MONDAY WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU: NITIN. *
