Consumer Description

1.5L TURBO ENGINE- CHANGED OIL AT 5200 MILES TECH SAID "VERY DIRTY". AT 7200 MILES/6 MONTHS- ALMOST STALLED IN TRAFFIC 3 TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY. SMELL OF GAS IN THE CAB ONCE. I CHECKED THE OIL, AFTER 2000 MILES SINCE LAST CHANGED- OIL WAS BLACK AND SMELLED LIKE GAS. DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP- THEY HAVE HAD IT OVER A WEEK. THEY SEEM ELUSIVE IN UPDATES. TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG ONE MINUTE, IT'S OK THE OIL WAS THAT DIRTY, BUT THEN THEY "UPDATED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" AND CHANGED THE OIL. AGAIN THEY SAID- NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THEY WANT TO KEEP IT ONE MORE NIGHT TO TEST DRIVE IT AND HONDA HAS A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM COMING SOON.
