ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND PROCEEDED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT AND TURNED LEFT ONTO BUSY ROAD. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE AND MADE IT SAFELY TO MY NEXT STOP. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN IT STARTED BUT SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED WHEN IT GOT THERE AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE TYPE OF GAS I USED. THEY SAID THAT GAS STATIONS SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FUEL IN THE FALL/WINTER AND THAT IT CAN CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.*AKY

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN BRAKING OR WHILE STOPPING AT STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE RACES (RPMS IN RED ZONE). MUST SLAM ON BRAKES AND SHIFT INTO PARK TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM SURGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS--THE FIRST IN DECEMBER AND THE MOST RECENT ONE WEEK AGO. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL WITH THOSE REPORTED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN ODI ID 89408 AND ODI ID 882677. CAN YOU ADVISE HOW THOSE PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED. AMERICAN HONDA ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAD HAD NO COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT CORRECT.

AIR BAGS
THIS PROBLEM (SRS LIGHTS) STARTED WITHIN 12 MILES FROM DRIVING OFF THE DEALER LOT. WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL-"FORGET ABOUT IT". THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY FLEETING DAYS BETWEEN THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW THE DASH LIGHTS PUT ON. IT DOES NOT INSTILL CONFIDENCE. POOR SERVIC E GUYS CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE NOTHING WORKS. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS . IF I WANTED A NON-AIRBAG EQUIPED CAR, I WOULD HAVE PAID LESS FOR ONE - AN OLD ONE MOST LIKELY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A HONDA PRODUCT!!!! I*AK
