This is the 3rd time this has happened. I am listing details pertaining to today because i cannot recall the prior dates (however they were within the past year).

There is no key in the ignition. Applying the brake turned it…

Spark plugged fouled in may. Oil consumption was at least a quart per 1000 miles at the time (every few weeks of driving). Had to replace spark plug and excessive oil consumption remains the same or greater. I am afraid that oil consumption will eventually cause engine failure while driving. Spoke to honda multiple times and they either say oil consumption is normal or wait until failure for extended warranty to…

Because i purchase the car new, had all of my services completed, and because the van only had 84,000 miles, you can imagine my surprise when sons honda (same place where i purchased and had all services completed) informed me i needed a new transmission…

This failure occurred a few days after the car was serviced for replacement of timing belt and water pump, which required removal and reinstallation of the tensioner pulley.

The engine consumes almost 1 quartz of oil every 1000-1500 miles since we bought it brand new. Dealer insists it is ok. Now the vehicle has 55000 miles, but oil has to be added regularly. This is absurd. The problem tends to occur to vehicles equip with vcm engines. Honda corporation admitted there is a problem, so honda came out with a service bulletin 11-033 which updating the pgm-fi software. I brought my vehicle…
