Vehicle shudders (shakes) at speeds of 40-45 mph. Had conversation with honda advisor (3/18) who said this was normal. Not sure, but want to report it anyway because it shouldn't be normal. I'm still noticing this (2/2019). Hopefully, vehicle will not stop dead in the middle of traffic.

While stopped at a red light, smoke started coming out from under the hood. I immediately pulled into a parking lot and turned the engine off. A bystander yelled at me to get out of the car. She saw fire coming out from underneath the engine. Smoke continued to pour out and then the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames.
