I was at a constant speed on the high way with a state trooper in front of me so there went the over revved theory that they seem to like presenting everyone.

“Check engine light came on in my case. I immediately took the car to my local Honda dealer since it is still under warranty. They said it was a computer glich and they reset the computer. A week later on a trip to texas the light returned. We took the car again to the closest Honda dealer in texas. They checked car and replaced spark plugs and wires. The light stayed! They then said that cylinder 2 failed and needed replacement. They said it would take several days! They told us to drive the vehicle back home to oklahoma and then take it to our Honda dealer. …”

“Engine siezed, Honda refuses to honor warranty. Alternately claims low oil which is incorrect, and no oil light was indicated, or aftermarket air intake system in clear violation of magunusson - moss.

Safety issue: if this had occured at highway speed, the rear wheels would have imediately locked up causing loss of control and associated accident/injury.”

“Engine began knocking while driving normally. 14741 miles on car.oil level was full and had ~1600 miles on oil and filter change. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Warranty denied by Honda. Engine replaced at my expense.”
