Consumer Description

While driving on the highway at speed, without warning or any dash check lights we heard a loud pop from the front of the car followed by white smoke. The engine seized, lost all power, and the along with it the brake system shutdown so the car became uncontrollable on a busy highway. The car was towed to a local honda dealership and is currently being looked at. The vehicle was recently inspected at a honda service center where there was no indication of any engine issues. There were no check engine lights untill the engine seized.
