There was a recall on my model. This piston rings wear prematurely and cause the engine to stall. The official report (recall #13v382000) lists one of the dangers as the fact that the engine can stall and increase the risk of crash/injury. However, honda will not cover the repair as the vehicle has a salvage title. However, i do not see how this is not a safety issue and therefore should be legally required to be…

Then it happened again and again, but becoming more…

This second occurrence, as we started to drive from park position, the car was running rough and the check engine light and traction light came on. The dealer diagnosed it is the piston rings, caused by bad rings that let the spark plugs get fouled. This appears to be the same issue as recall # 13v382000 where they changed the short block. They want to fix the piston rings and leave it at that. That is not proper…
