Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, FELT A SLIGHT HESITATION AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY EXITED AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGH. DID RESEARCH AND IT'S VERY EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY HONDA BECAUSE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED THAT CYLINDER #3 SPARK PLUG IS SO DAMAGED THAT CERAMIC PIECES ARE COMPLETELY MISSING! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL WITH SO MANY INCIDENTS. I AM BEING TOLD THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THIS AS MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH ENGINE OIL BEING LOW BUT YET THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THIS TOO APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE THAT MY OIL LEVEL WAS EXTREMELY LOW BUT YET THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ANY LEAKS. THIS TOO SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR
