Consumer Description

Head Gasket Problem The Engine would have rough starts occasionally for about 20 seconds then drive normal. Started about 1 month intermittently until diagnosis and most likely misfire. Vehicle has been inspected by two Honda dealerships stating coolant is leaking into cylinder 3 and has a sticking fuel injector with burn oil on dipstick due to low coolant. Oil change interval between time of symptoms and diagnosis was normal. The last start caused engine codes to appear and when the idle smoothed out the vehicle would only drive about 10 mph until restarted. Safety of not being able to start the engine reliably and not knowing the mph limitations after a misfire when trying to enter a road was a concern for safety.
