My car stalled in the middle of the road. i couldn't start it and had to towed it down to dealer. i was lucky that it did not happened in the highway. i can not imagine what will be happen if it stalls again it the middle of the high where every one drives so close and high speed. i drive about 150 miles every workday for my job and mostly in the high way. i also travel at night. i am worried about my life and life of my family member. and i belief that it is a safety issue .i tried to talk to the companey and also wrote them a letter but it seems thery are not giving it any serious consideration for obvious economic reason. i hope you could help me. the dealer could not find anything to repair which makes it more difficult because whatever is the reason may be it is still there.*ak

Car skips and hesitates when accelerating between 35 & 50 mph. has caused 3 near accidents mainly due to being startled. vehicle is unreliable and unsafe. honda has replaced computer and oxygen sensor without improving the poor performance. honda now takes the official position of "this is a characteristic of this model". i have asked that they take me out of the vehicle and honda has refused.

The car stalls when coming to a stop. stalls when taking off from a stop. we use to get almost 320 miles to the gallon, we are now down to 100 to 180. the car bucks like it is not getting any fuel. the v-tec does not want to kick in all the time anymore. loss of power. it has been to the dealer on several occasions, when they cannot duplicate the problem. we have had all these problems since the a/c unit went out last july and the car has not been right since. we spent $100 on spark plugs that we were told would fix the fuel problem, that has not changed. we are not notified of any recalls we have to find them ourselves. *jb
