When driving on the freeway on my way to work the check engine light came on. After exiting i checked for error codes (as i always carry the p-code reader with me). The code stated that cylinder 3 was misfiring. I double checked all spark plugs to make sure the connections were okay. The engine light continued to come on, with a rough idle, and engine codes started to be more spontaneous as it stated random…

The past two times i have brought the car in for an oil change i have been told that the oil level is below the dipstick. Both times i have brought the car in for an oil change with 20% oil life showing. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes gets "blocked". That is the only way i can describe it, you go to shift and cant get into gear, either have to go back to 2nd or back to neutral and then back in. The "double pump…

When starting the car at a cold start, you hear a loud grinding noise sounds for 2 or 5 seconds. There is a tsb 09-010 regarding a vtc actuator that drains of oil and is not properly lubed when starting the engine cold, causing the grinding noise until oil reaches the part again. Grinding noises in an engine are bad, and could lead to catastrophic engine failure should the abrasive metallic parts (due to grinding…

The oil is not leaking, it is just gone. Also when i start the car first thing in the morning or when is cold, the top of the engine makes a rattling noise. There is also a loud pronounced noise that sounds like it is either the…

Transmission jumps. Hesitates and stalls somewhat frequently, a lot more than to be expected of a car only 2 years old. More so at the lower gears when accelerating. Rpm is not consistent with throttle input. Unfortunately, it does not trigger the check engine light, so honda does not see an issue, but something is off with the drivable. *tr

At 20,000 miles the vehicle had a failed wheel bearing (noise/vibration), passenger-side front. Driver-side front wheel bearing failed at 34,000 miles. Dealer replaced the hub/bearing assemblies under warranty. This is a defect, as the bearings should not fail at such a low mileage. How long will the replacement bearings last ? *tr
