Consumer Description

AT THE PRECISE MOMENT THE ODOMETER HIT 12000 MILES, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND ROLLING LIST OF PROBLEMS, INVOLVING, HILL CONTROL, POWER STEERING, ETC.. CAME ON. EVEN AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES THE CONDITION DID NOT CHANGE. HONDA HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER A DAY THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM EXCEPT TO SAY IT WAS A LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE.. SEEMED TO COINCIDENTAL THAT IT HAPPENED AT EXACTLY 12000 MILES AND I STATED AS MUCH. THEY RESET EVERYTHING AND IT HAS BEEN OK FOR LAST 150 MILES.
