    The engine completely blew out one day. I was on the way to work and there was an explosion under my hood. Honda put in a re-built engine and i have had nothing but problems since then. A few months later...the paint gradually started to fade away on the roof. It has only gotten worse and will get much worse. It is a 1998 honda!! This stuff shouldn't be happening!

    The check engine light constantly illuminated since the vehicle was purchased. The first service dealer advised that there was a defect with the light. A different service dealer advised that there was a manufacturer's defect with the "catalyst" that could cause vehicle to stall without warning. *nlm *scc
