Consumer Description
There was a warranty extension for carbon buildup on the fuel injectors and I have taken my car to Honda twice to get the carbon removed and the software updated to fix the problem of multiple codes coming up. I took the car on Friday September 19, 2025 and I picked up the car at 3:30pm in September 20th. The person assisting me said they removed the buildup and fixed the software but at 11pm on the 20th, all the light came back on, indicating the problem was not fixed. I drove about 75 miles after getting my car back when the problem happened again. This has been incredibly unsafe for multiple reason. 1. When all the car dash indicators turn on, you can’t tell what the tire pressure is and if there are any problems. I have been having to manually check the tire pressure every few weeks because this is an ongoing problem and it causes the tire pressure gauge to not work 2. Because this is ongoing, you cannot reset the oil change maintenance indicator, so it is much harder to track when an oil change was last done. This has caused me to miss vital maintenance required to keep the car running well. 3. It is incredibly inconvenient to have to take the car to be fixed for the same problems multiple times. It costs consumers vital time, and potentially money without seeing any actual improvements. Although the diagnostics fee has been waived, having to potentially pay up to $200 in diagnostic fees makes consumers like me not want to take it for fear that may be very costly to even have them take a look at the car, thus making it less likely people will take the car in for necessary and important safety fixes. If you would like to see any records or inspection the vehicle, please feel free to reach out. The only fix I have been offered is to replace the fuel injectors for $1600, without any guarantee that it would fix the problem. I also took this matter up with Honda corporate, without any real solutions and there are multiple reports online of repeat problems.
