Check engine light came on, car acts like it has no power on take off, shifting hard, once up to maybe 40 mph car begins jerking and the a/c and heat stopped working correctly at almost the same time within a day or two. I can turn the air on and it will blow for maybe 20 seconds then just completely stop blowing which being it all happened at practically the same time is fishy to me. The car only has 156k miles and…

Engine · Suspension
I had to replace rear suspension within first year & honda dealer told me is very common; bad suspension on 07 hondas, but once replaced will last forever-so why not a factory defect!? Then at 3 years something in front suspension, same story. Now the vtc actuator needs replacement-rumbling noise at startup for less than a minute, which i'm finding out is the case with a lot of hondas now, old & brand new. Old…

My son and his friend were both wearing their seatbelts and they ran the light on yellow since it was not safe to stop because of the speed he was going. Which anything above 35 makes it unsafe. And of course the person took off being careless herself. And of course an accident occurred, but the honda airbags did not deployed and the seatbelts became loose so both my son & his friend had to brace themselves from the…

The engine is honda's 3.0 vtec v6. The engine had less than 50000 miles on it when it happened. The first engine blew the same way when the motor grenaded the spark plug at 53000 miles. Honda replaced the first engine because it was under…

My car has had engine issues for the last almost 8 years. Burning oil at a massive rate. It also stalls with this sudden jerk and rocking sensation when accelerating/shifting at a low speed. I bought my car brand new but first began experiencing this rocking sensation in november of 2008 while driving down a slight incline at a low speed on a street. This rocking stopped on its own for quite a while. Then in april…
