IN JUNE 2013 HAD MY RIGHT REAR TIRE BLOWOUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ROUGHLY 40MPH ON A CLEAR DAY. REPLACED THE TIRE SINCE THE SIDEWALL WAS DESTROYED. TOOK VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE IN NOVEMBER 2013 TO CHECK BAD VIBRATION AND 3 REMAINING TIRES ALL HAD HUGE SIDEWALL BUBBLES PROTRUDING. HAD TO REPLACE ALL THREE TIRES WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON THEM (WARRANTY FOR 65,000) BOUGHT THE TIRES AT WAL-MART IN FEB 2012 - GOODYEAR VIVA AUTHORITY 235/65/R16 DOT M746JN1R4111. *TR

SPARK PLUGGED FOULED IN MAY. OIL CONSUMPTION WAS AT LEAST A QUART PER 1000 MILES AT THE TIME (EVERY FEW WEEKS OF DRIVING). HAD TO REPLACE SPARK PLUG AND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION REMAINS THE SAME OR GREATER. I AM AFRAID THAT OIL CONSUMPTION WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. SPOKE TO HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY EITHER SAY OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL OR WAIT UNTIL FAILURE FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY TO KICK IN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN SUDDENLY FOR NO REASON THE BRAKES CAME ON BRINGING THE CARS SPEED DOWN TO UNDER 20 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CATCH MY BREATH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I PROCEEDED SLOWLY UNTIL I FELT SAFE TO TRY IT AGAIN. NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL LAST MAY, AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT UNTO A CITY STREET, AS I APPROACHED 40MPH, THE BRAKES SUDDENLY CAME ON. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. HONDA SAYS THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS UNTIL MARCH 2014? (IT HAPPENED 1 MORE TIME). *TR
