“I was driving down my road and notice my car keeps stalling between 3rd and 4th gear, if I hit the brake it stops and I can go on. I took it for recall last year and it started doing better but last month it is stalling and jerking at speeds between 30-45. It seems to be getting worse. Also my driver side window when I try to roll it up without holding the button it will go all the way up and then roll back down. …”

“I bought a car & after driving it, I noticed & started to hear/ feel strange noises. I decided to have the car inspected & I found out that the car had a significant front-end collision & that the Honda had been partially repaired & not fixed properly. The inspectors stated that the car's accident was not reported to dmv as it should be & that is was fixed under the table, as a side job. The car dealership claimed the car had a clean title, however the title was never in the dealerships name & instead in the private owner's name still. …”

“I took my Honda Accord e6 into darrell waltrip Honda for a recall to repair a power steering hose. I picked the car up and returned 27 miles on the interstate directly to my home. I was told the repair procedure was to take 5 hours plus oil change but it actually took less than 60 - 90 minutes. I parked the car in my garage and went upstairs into the house. About 12 minutes later the alarms went off and I found the garage and car in flames with heavy smoke. …”

“I've experienced many issues with my brakes since my car hit 99,000 miles. I have to replace the brakes every 20,000 miles and now I had an incident where my car would not stop. The engine seemed to just go dead and I could not accelerate the car. I had just gotten off the freeway. The car did not want to stop when I was approaching the red light and would not accelerate. It would only go 5 MPH. I pulled off the street, stopped the car and turned it off. …”

“In january, three weeks after driving 1000 miles to florida the engine started to miss and with in a mile I could not go 10 miles a hour. I had the car towed to the fort myers, florida Honda dealer. I was told one of the rear spark plugs was loose and the blow-by over-heated the spark plug causing the inside of the plug to come loose fall inside the head thus causing damage to the engine. The coil mounted to the spark plug was charred indicating very high temperature from the blow-by. The plug was loose in the socket indicating it was not tighten securely. …”
