    The check engine light and vtm4 light come on after over an hour of driving. Sometimes the whole inside of the car smells has while driving and the fuel consumption is not efficient. In addition when the car sits in the garage for a few days, maybe 2-3, and i start driving, the wheels make some deep brushing noise. This gets worst when i brake. Sometimes it smells like something is burning under the hood or around…

I noticed a puddle of fluid. I had it towed to a mechanic who said that the transmission cooling…

    Gas can be empty and when you attempt to fill up tank it shuts off as if tank is full. Spent 400.15 on 10/25/13 for fuel vapor control valve yonder dealer thought this might be causing it. This worked for few weeks then it began again but seemed to let us fill it up if we drove for a few miles before attempting to fill up the gas tank. Now it doesn't matter how far we drive the car the gas will not pump into the…

    Driving along at normal highway speeds and the emission management indicator light started blinking. Took vehicle to honda dealership for inspection and found out that there was a software update needed for the fuel management control systems as honda was getting multiple complaints of early spark plug fouling due to incorrect management of the eco drive state.

    I purchased this vehicle from brickell honda in miami with 7,000 miles. I had traded my 2010 honda pilot so i was very familiar with this vehicle in general. Immediately, i felt a hesitation when i pressed the gas pedal. At first i thought it was my imagination. However, after driving it for a week it became apparent that this was a huge safety issue as it continually hesitated when accelerating in traffic. I took…
